I think the fuse leading to the furnace is blown. =(
Earlier, the power to the two back bedrooms in my house went out, and since the little circuit breaker switch wasn't flipped in the wrong direction, I'm not sure why. (I mean, I can see how the fuse might blow -- there are tv/various media players and consoles/computer/everything associated with said computer, all hooked up in the one bedroom, but they have been hooked up there for a really long time with no issue, so I don't know why they decided to blow now.) In any case, usually, when the circuit breaker trips, the switch for the affected area is flipped differently than all the others -- you unplug stuff, flip it back, and everything comes back on. Not the case this time.
Anyway, since the circuit breaker switch wasn't flipped the wrong way, I started to worry if other things had gone out too without my knowledge, and discovered that one wall of my main bedroom and one wall in my kitchen all share the same circuit. Good thing I checked, too, because otherwise I don't know when I would have discovered that my refrigerator was plugged into one of the bad walls. Heh.
Now, the temperature in my house is slowwwwly falling. I guess that one blew too.
*cuddles under blankets*
Calling the electric company/electrician/whatever in the morning. If there's something up with my heat, then I'm not sure I want to wait until Friday, when I'd already scheduled a day off, to stay home and wait for someone.
You know, I bet it's something really simple, too. I hate calling someone and then finding out that it wasn't anything major. Don't get me wrong; I'd rather spend money once for the service call and have it be simple than have to spend even more on something major, but it does make me feel kind of foolish.
Whee.
