Reasons I Need to Install a Fireplace (Or Start a Fire Without One)

I return to my apt. after class only to find a notice stuck in my door:
ATTENTION RESIDENTS OF ___:

WE ARE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE BOILER FOR YOUR BUILDING. OUR CONTRACTOR IS WORKING ON THE SITUATION. WE SHOULD HAVE THE HEAT REPAIRED IN A FEW HOURS.

WE ARE VERY SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE AND WE THANK [sic].
My car reports the outside temperature as 3 Fahrenheit while Weather.com says its 5 but feels like -8. The temp. in my apt. is down to 61-62, colder by the windows.

I think I'm going to hide under my fleece blanket. Possibly make a mug o' tea. Possibly start some fires when the temp gets a bit lower. No?
