Well, that was an odd dream.

If we knew the alien invasion was coming to harvest humans and eat us, why weren't we fighting back? Or hiding better? Or prepping in any way at all? And if it turned out that we could sate them with milk, why not just give them all the milk they like?

And where did all those kittens come from!?

In other news for today....

it seems our thermostat has stopped working properly. I took off the front of it to replace the battery, noticed a wire was loose, fixed the wire, and now the damn thing won't shut off, even with the front of the thermostat removed or switched to "off".

I've turned off the boiler itself, in the interest of not having an 85F home overnight. After a day of careful fiddling, I'm pretty sure this is non-DIY fix. Unless maybe replacing the thermostat unit itself would work.

Aha! I have fixed the thermostat issue!

Thank you, antisoppist, you gave me the final clue. Google, super unhelpful as it turns out. Miswired the damn thing.
