This morning was the second day in a row that I woke up with a pounding headache. It wasn't as bad Saturday morning, and since I was out of the house for most of the day, I generally felt pretty okay. Billie seemed fine, too, so we didn't think much of it. This morning, though, we both woke up at 10 AM with worse headaches, dizziness, and outside our window were two firetrucks and an ambulance.

Turns out for the past day and a half we were breathing in carbon monoxide. The culprit, a poorly maintained furnace in the building. A lack of CO detectors in the building also meant that a couple people were sent to the hospital with mild CO poisoning. We were all evacuated for roughly 3 hours while the fire department ventilated the building, meanwhile Billie was interviewed by CTV news regarding the whole situation (we don't have cable, so we couldn't watch it).
