No longer frozen!

It's been extremely cold lately, and our furnace has been acting up. On Wednesday I noticed it was being strange, but our apartment is pretty drafty historically and I'm never sure how warm it's supposed to be. It usually doesn't get above 66° on the thermostat, no matter what we set the temperature to.
Well, on Thursday it was down to 60° and sometimes dipped a bit lower, so I put in a maintenance request. The maintenance worker came out, looked at the furnace, tinkered with it a bit, and left, and it worked for about twelve hours. Then it cut out again around lunch time on Friday, and remained off for most of the day. At its coldest it was 53° on the thermostat, and it's a good thing that![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
schoolpsychnerd went out to see the new Star Wars movie because she would have frozen otherwise. I kept making calls, and eventually maintenance came out around 11 p.m. and looked at the furnace again. They replaced the capacitor, opened up some of the vents which had been closed, and then said that was about all they could do and left.
Well, our apartment is now warmer than it's ever been in the winter. It's currently 70° indoors, which is what we have the thermostat set to, and there's still warm air coming out of the vents so it's still working. Maybe our heating problems are over? We can hope.
I also had a strange dream that I'm going to blame on the cold. I went into a business venture with Kael'thas Sunstrider because he wanted to run a food cart. He tapped me for seed capital and to help him prototype the desserts he was developing, which were some kind of greenish candy or ice cream. I remember sitting in a lab while he was testing new mixing processes and probably infusing the food with fel energy, but all that effort payed off in the end, because when he opened his food cart the lines were stretching around the block.
Tempest Keep was, indeed, merely a setback.
