Start up

I'm kind of giving up on the novel writing, I think. Unless I'm suddenly inspired on November 1 to start writing.

Which I might be, because my house will be warm. Or warmer.

The thing is, my furnace is really old. Like 40 years old. When it wasn't working two years ago the repair guy said he had never seen anything nearly so old. It would be bitterly ironic if I went to turn it on, only to find out that it had died anyway.

I should really be saving money for a new furnace.
