It’s been July since I’ve posted here? Did you even notice???

Last night I had a bit of a freak out moment. Our furnace went out so Bryan started a fire in the fireplace. It helped warm the house a few degrees and the crackle of the fire sounded relaxing.

Later in the evening after everyone else was asleep, I was still up working on a photobook and my eyes started to get itchy from smoke. I was two rooms over and the house had a light layer of smoke in it.

Of course, I started getting paranoid. Nothing that wasn’t suppose to be was on fire, the fire was starting to wind down. Still, I knew I wouldn’t be able to go to sleep with the smoke in the house.

So instead of dying of smoke inhalation, I tried to freeze out my family. I opened up a kitchen window. Then I allowed the front door and back door open for a few minutes.

Before I went to bed about 30 minutes later, I asked Bryan to check on the fireplace because I didn’t think something was right. It had been fine up until 11 p.m. after I heard a loud noise in the living room. He said it was fine (probably because I had aired it out.)

I’m sure he thinks I’m crazy but it was smoky, my eyes were red and irritated! I know didn’t imagine it.

Glad to say we all woke up fine this morning! 🙂
