Three Beautiful Things 07-14-2025: Go Slow, Cooling Down the House, A Convenient Salad

1. Byrdman introduced me to the idea that, as we age, the sixties are the go go years, the seventies are the slow go (or is it go slow?) years, and the eighties are the no go years. 

I sure felt the go slow today as I worked my way from the upstairs to the main floor to the basement getting the house straightened up, swept, and vacuumed in preparation for having a routine check up/maintenance job done on Tuesday on our heating/cooling system and furnace. 

Slow. Slow. Slow. Rest. Rest. Rest. But, I got almost everything done as I worked away most of the day. 

2. The upstairs and the main floor were warm enough that I cooled them off with our cooling system before I worked in them and that turned out to be a good way to make sure they were working pretty well before the technician arrives on Tuesday. 

3. I had made a big vegetable and apple salad over the weekend and on a day when I was mostly cleaning house (and taking breaks), having that salad fixed and ready to munch on made my day much easier. Around dinner time, I added Greek seasoned chickpeas packed in oil to the salad and that worked really well.
