Dear Fran,
I know that you have been sleeping for months now and I have allowed this slumber, but soon I’m going to need your help. I am worried, though, that you will not be the same. Have you rusted inside? Did moisture damage your innards? How can I tell that you will not release harmful gasses into my home when you wake? These are all things I lose sleep over at night, but only recently. To be brutally honest, I completely ignored you all summer.
I hope to feel your warm glow sometime soon, so please don’t freak out when the Jerry Kelly Heating & Air Conditioning technicians arrive to look at you. It’s just a precautionary measure so you don’t blow up, crack, or die. These guys know how to get you back on your feet and ready to face the cold winter months ahead.
