Today started off at around 9 am for us. Ughh! This morning we had to go to court to dispute a ticket Brian had received around Christmas time for supposedly running a red light. Long story short, it was icy conditions and the light wasn't green long enough for one vehicle to get through the intersection on a good day. It was only 10 seconds long going from red light to red light. So, we decided to dispute it because he had already entered the intersection by the time the light had turned. Anyway, lucky for us, it was dismissed. YAY! We would have had to pay $105 if it wasn't dismissed. Yikes!
When we finally got home from running errands, we heard a loud beeping sound as we pulled into the driveway. We were thinking maybe one of the neighbors phones were being paged to find or something. When we opened our front door, our smoke/carbon monoxide detectors were going off with the light blinking indicating carbon monoxide was detected. This freaked both Brian and me out! We've NEVER had that happen before. We had just changed the batteries to both detectors about a month ago so we knew that wasn't it. We then wondered if maybe we just needed new detectors. So we went up to Lowe's and picked up a couple which we really couldn't afford, but decided our safety was worth it.
After Brian installed them, he wanted me to call the gas company and have them come out and check the house to make sure everything was now safe. Our alarms were going off, but we'd rather be safe than sorry.
When the man from the gas company got here, he couldn't detect anything that would have caused a detection of CO (carbon monoxide). He did however say there was a small gas leak in one of the tubes to our water heater which he was able to fix by tightening something. Thank goodness! Now we're just hoping and praying that we will be safe. Neither one of us have had any symptoms of CO poisoning so that's good.
Ironically, we found out the man from the gas company knew Brian's brother. Apparently, he was the first councilor in the Bishopric in their ward Small world!
What a day! What a day!

Now a new day has come. It should be better, right. I hope so. It was a good thing that you had the house checked out, so see there was something that was good about it.
