So very cold and poor

So this morning after Maya and I got up, the thermostat which had a number that was a degree lower than is should be. So I set to the day time temperature as per usual and waited for the furnace to kick in... nothing happened. Oh oh. Last time this happned it was the fan motor, but a quick check of the cold vents, and total lack of regular furnace sounds assured me that it wasn't the same problem.
So finally the furnace guys comes at about 2pm, looks at the furnace for 2 minutes and says "this isn't good at all". I got a sinking feeling. He kindly pointed out what all was going on and what was wrong and why he was worried about our house blowing up.
Basically we need a new furnace, the very old one we have is in need of major repair and its not really worth it.
Anne hasn't woken up yet and knows none of this, I don't realy want her to wake up.

The best part of this is that is Friday and nothing is goign to happen until Monday at the earliest.

Added: I wondered what all the noise was about today while I was sleeping...... The furnace is over 30 years old and we knew this was coming, we had hoped just not now. We have some space heaters so our toes don't fall off. Apparently Maya denied being cold all day and was just wearing a long sleved shirt. If you want to donate to our poor fund feel free. We take cash, cheaque, and money order.
