My party was cut short when the furnace stopped working

I decided to invite a bunch of family members over for Thanksgiving dinner this year.

Since last year we all stayed at home and didn’t gather in small indoor spaces, I wanted to give everyone a holiday dinner that they would remember years down the road.

Even though I love cooking, I realize now that I started to bite off more than I could chew. It’s one thing to roast a turkey, but I was also planning on making beef brisket for my family members that don’t like poultry. While I planned the dinner, my girlfriend decorated the house and did all of the grocery shopping. I was so focused on coming up with my menu and cooking all of the food that I was overlooking basic home maintenance. It was time to have the HVAC technician service our heating system ahead of the winter season, but we got hit with an intense cold front during the week of Thanksgiving. We were already using the furnace everyday leading up to the day of the holiday. Unfortunately, we only got halfway through dinner when the furnace suddenly stopped working. I could feel the air inside getting colder by the minute. It was only 10 degrees outside, so I knew it wouldn’t be long before the air inside my house became too uncomfortably cold for everyone to stay. By the time everyone finished eating, I could notice their discomfort. I announced that the furnace had failed and everyone was welcome to stay longer if they didn’t mind the cold house, otherwise I wouldn’t take offense if they simply wanted to leave.
