Just commenting to say please keep doors closed. I know it seems scary that you’re apart, but open doors are a fire hazard.

Can you tell this to my cat? She requires all doors open or she assumes we are all in mortal peril and only she can save us.

They're not really a fire hazard. Yes closed doors help stop the spread of fire, but like hell I'll be able to sleep with two closed doors between me and LO.

Try living in military housing, the heat doesn't work if the doors are closed

Please make sure all your CO and smoke detectors are good. Change the batteries when the times change (easiest way to remember). Most detectors can also be tested - we test ours on the 1st of the every month (one parents takes baby and dogs for a walk while the other tests).

If it’s within your means please consider getting combination (CO and smoke) detectors that can be hardwired or Bluetooth connected. When one goes off, they all go off.

Its sad that in the USA almost everything is a hazard. Something as simple as leaving the doors open :(
