I awoke to the sounds of Temperature alarms going off in my head

It is 3:15 in the morning and I just had to share this with all of my friends… The Otero household is not inhabitable right due to catastrophic event in the middle of the night.

So you think locking your keys in the car trunk is bad, try this on for size, it seem that Ms Donna was up wondering through the house at who knows what hour, in a state that can best be described as the Walking Undead.

Ms Donna was cold and decided to adjust the air-conditioning unit. Well our house has a zone air control system, and has a failsafe backup that keeps every room at 75 degrees…The system is flawless and in our two years here has never missed a beat. Its so smart it knows when to turn the heat on or off, and the same with the air in the event that it is cooler outside then inside it sucks cool air in through the attic vents.

I need a book in front of me in order to make changes in the system. Well I don’t know how she did it, but in a state of mass confusion she managed to bypass the whole thing, and turn the cold air on, during this the coldest night we have had since December.

According to the weather station its now 45degrees outside, and oh lucky me its 22degrees inside, and still dropping because I cant stop the attic fans from sucking in outside air.

I’ll tell you what, I just got up from one of those you can’t control it dreams… like when your alarm clock is in your dream and you can’t stop it. Well In my dream I was in Alaska wearing nothing but a kilt, I was cold and my teeth were chattering so hard I could not talk. Then I kept hearing an alarm buzzer, but in my dream I kept pushing the button and nothing happened. I finally got up and guess what?

The alarm was our air-conditioner trying to let me know the filter was blocked, and that no air was getting through… Yes it was indeed blocked because its now a solid block of ice. I swear I saw small model of the Titanic sinking in the background.

OMG I can see my breath…. I can’t turn the heat on until the Iceberg in my condenser unit melts, or takes the ship down. THERE ARE PENGUINS IN THE KITCHEN. The pan soaking in the sink is an ice skating rink. The animals winter coats grew back, nothing will turn on because its too freakin cold, and I’m sitting here with my Nanook of the north coat asking myself why do I put up with this?

And where is the cause of this mess I ask you??? In bed with 10 blankets on top of her… where else would she be. I woke her, and told her what she did and all she said was, and I quote “Well I was cold so I turned it down to 60” Okay 60 hello!!!! And then she complained about it being cold grabbed 2 more blankets and went back to bed mad because I woke her up.

I don’t know what she did to the air because the cover to the thermostat is gone, and the ice queen has no idea where it is.

The good news is I broke the all time record for the lowest temperature set back in 1923.

So send me some Pixie dust kids, I’ll be spending the rest of the night with a blow-dryer in from of the condenser trying to kick start the heat. I’m not going in to the attic to shut the fans off those stalactites and ice sickles could take my eye out.
 
PD and a winter coat on the way! Hope I don't it them anymore up here.

I think you should rename Ms Donna "Nanuck of the North"!:p
