OH MY GOD!

[liz_marcs]

I stayed home from work today even though I'm feeling slightly better.

I know I'm feeling better because I woke up and realized that my bathroom smelled like ass and looked worse.

[The rest of my apartment can be a sty, but goddamn that bathroom better be clean otherwise I go out of my skull.]

As I'm cleaning, I realize something:

Oh my God everything is covered in black stuff and it came from the radiators!

I then start going on a cleaning spree.

Everything is covered in fucking black!

Windows. Television. Furniture. George the Amazing Lovebird!

What the fuckety-fuck-fuck?

My CO alarm didn't go off (the light's on, I checked) My lungs are clear and I haven't hard trouble breathing. George is being as bird-y as ever.

But just the same, When the hell did this happen?

Obviously it came from the damn furnace but I'm flummoxed.

Thank God the day is warmish because windows are open while I'm scrubbing everything in sight (I'm only half-done).

I don't know if me feeling sick-ish for the past week has anything to do with anything because I was feeling icky at work as well with chills.

But ho-leee shit.

It's too late to call the landlord, but I'm going to have to tomorrow.

That sounds disturbing! I've never had radiators that did that before. How weird! Hopefully the landlord can sort it out. *Hugs*

Love the photo of James Marsten... made me realize he'd make a *very* nice Maxim in a Girl Genius movie. Good at funny, good at scary, and very good looking. Since he's not a Cockney out of character, I suspect he could do a Jaeger accent just fine.

Black mold?

That's... a bit scary! Eek.

Seriously, if you think there's any chance you've been exposed to CO, get yourself checked out. Probably a good idea anyway, just as a precaution. Doctor first, landlord second?

Hope you get things sorted!

Hey did you ever get a chance to read that prologue?

I've been sick as a dog for the past few days, so no.

I thought that might be case.. I just didn't know if it was the "god I am dying go away" or the "I feel like shit but I'm bored" sort of dying....

yes I have been there for both.

A few people got the "go away or you die" this weekend. :-)

I'm feeling better, but still headachy.

I'll take a butchers at it tomorrow when my head doesn't require regular infusions of Tylenol to stay on my body.
