The petroleum company came back yesterday morning to deliver our oil, saying that they hadn't actually sucked oil out of our tank on Thursday but had put in a few before the tank on their truck ran out, and that the difficulty with our furnace since then must be entirely unrelated. The landlord spent some time yesterday fiddling with the furnace and finally got it working again, only to return to futzing around with it last night because the thermostat messed up and the furnace kept turning itself on even when it was 75 degrees inside.

Woke up overheated today because, while it was a reasonable 69 degrees indoors when I went to bed last night, the temperature had rebounded to the mid-70s by this morning. The outside temperature was also warm today (mid-70s and fairly humid, feeling like late spring), yet nine out of ten people outdoors were wearing either long-sleeved sweaters or winter jackets.
