It is now 3:10 am and i have just returned from rehab for a structure fire...can it get any better??? It is 8 degrees and i couldn't find my long johns, so my legs are frozen under these thin emt pants...I have 3 layers of tops, plus my coat and hat and the only gloves i could find are thin dressy ones....STORY OF MY LIFE...NEVER PREPARED!!! That is my new moto.. Jenny and I went shopping today, and I was telling her how I can't seem to get anything done (cleaning wise) so she suggested I make a list of things and try to do at least one each week. I told her that wouldn't do as I would just keep adding things to the next week because I wouldn't do them, so my list would just be longer and longer.. She said she would love to help me, but I would have to agree to throw some things away...I told her, "thanks anyway, but I couldn't bear it if you threw stuff out." and then we both laughed..
Back to the fire, it started out as a chimney fire and then spread into the walls...luckily everyone got out and the house was not a total loss...The woman who owned the house told me the fire detectors were not working, but they started to beep and just a singe beep but constant and they woke her up...she usually is a heavy sleeper, but the constant one beep drove her crazy, she said she was so surprised when the house was full of smoke...good lesson to us all, change the batteries in your smoke detectors!! They finally admitted they have lived in the house for 4 years and never had the chimney cleaned...(bad idea!!) But I told her, you can replace all the material things, but everyone got out safely and that is all that matters...She has a 13 yr old daughter, who had a friend sleeping over and a 11 yr old son who was sleeping over a friends house...everyone was safe!! It was just sooooo cold...but no wind, so that was good...we were there for about 2 1/2 hours..so here i am, can't sleep so i am writing my blog as my older sister told me I should...thanks for the advice Margaret!! I really think I am going to like writing all this stuff, I hope you all enjoy reading it..Well I am hoping for my parts delivery from FedEx tomorrow, I need my stove back!! They really are a bunch of sissys!! Maybe it will be to cold to deliver, you never know..I am writing this with the cat snuggled, purring next to me..I just love that!!! Well, thats all for now, I am going to try to get some sleep.
