I dodged the peeping bullet for at least another day or couple of days... my guy isn't going to make it up tonight, maybe tomorrow, but most likely Tuesday. he's got himself all in a tizzy because he drank a big swig of 6 month old rainwater that has been sitting in a "dirty fish tank water" bucket. he uses the rain water to water his plants... but for some reason, he filled a drinking water bottle instead of a plastic cup... didn't use it all, left it sitting on the counter, forgot what it was and later, took a couple of vitamins with that bottle.of water. so, because he is the Ultimate King of Drama... he won't leave Columbia county in fear of needing to go to the hospital. (We do have a hospital here...
) I don't think anything will happen that fast... I mean, sure... probably has bacteria, maybe a parasite... but it won't show for days or weeks. Probably nothing to worry about at all, but I'll hear about it for the next 6 months.
speaking of drama... there was a bit here today. the furnace wasn't working, so the guy came up today, got the furnace started, but there was too much oil or something burning off, and the whole basement filled with blue smoke. I only noticed because it was seeping into the kitchen, so I ran out to the back of the house, pulled open the storm cellar doors, ran in to see if the guy was still alive... he was, how he could stay in there was beyond me... so I ran back around, up the stairs, grabbed a big fan, ran back out and around... got the air moving ~ throwing open the cellar doors was a big help... then, I go back in ~ what was small seepage in the kitchen had turned into major plumes of blue smoke, the kitchen was filled and it was rapidly filling the living room ~ the chicks are in there! so I grab them, go outside to make sure the air is clear in the box... they are all fine, so I throw a blanket over the top and run them upstairs to my bedroom. That door is always closed, or my bed would be covered in cat hair... and the room is completely clear of smoke... I left them up there for about 5 hours, just to be sure... oh yeah... now I have to go back out and close the cellar doors... don't want critters moving in overnight!
