fleece don't fail me now

earlier today, i noticed that the hot water wasn't that hot. so i went down to the basement and reset the furnace. and did it again a few hours later. and again a few hours after that. then brian went a knocked on our oil tank and it sound OH SO HOLLOW. so apparently, our oil gauge is broke and we're out of oil. we'll get a refill tomorrow and should be fine-it's only supposed to be around 25 degrees tonight. if it was below zero, we would have been sleeping around the fireplace in down bags fo' true.

oh and HOLY CRAP, my "big girl" is five years old today.
