I think there's a carbon monoxide leak in my house
the cats are passed out on the sofa, dog's on the rug, and I'm dozing off in the recliner while I enjoy the post-surgery Lortabs

1. Cats: normal. Dog: normal. You: normal, especially if you dragged down a doobie.
Still, a wall-outlet plug-in detector is only about $35. Get one.

2. I can second that suggestion.
A few years after we bought our house, my wife and I both felt a little off like we were coming down with something. This lasted a few weeks so I decided to buy a CO detector.

It started sounding the alarm a few minutes after I plugged it in. Just to be safe I called the gas company to come and check for leaks. The guy that showed up managed to find 8 leaks in our basement.

That CO detector was just about the best thing that I ever bought.

3. Wait, the CO detector or the doobie?
:shrug:

Fuck it - get both.
