Ok well most of you know the story of my unexpected visitor on Sunday which was interesting enough. Yesterday the dog was being extremely hyper and knocked me on my rear so hard I couldn't sit (and still can't) and walking was hard. Then my hubby and I were laying in bed watching some BBC (James May's Toy Stories = awesome show) when all of a sudden we got a whiff of something that smelled like an electrical short/fire. We searched the house and outside looking for the source of the smell and couldn't find anything. Eventually the smell went away and we thought it was from someone else's apartment since we all share the same exhaust tube. Then the smell came back even stronger so I hobbled around the apartment unplugging everything while my hubby shut the circut breaker down. This time we asked our neighbors if they smelled anything and they said no. We had our one neighbor who we've gotten to be friends with come in the apartment and the smell just punched you in the face. At this point we called the fire dept (it was 9:00 pm) and they came and pretty much stayed 2 hours just as puzzled as us as to where the smell was coming from. Despite all of our electronics plugged in, everything was safe and nothing was overloaded. They checked the internal wall temps to see if there was a fire in the wall and nothing was there. One good thing did come out of all of this though, they fixed our stove/oven! Our energy company couldn't even fix it but they did lol. So finally around midnight after all of the neighbors were done cursing us for waking them up we went to bed.
