Three Beautiful Things 03-19-2026: It's About Time, It's About Time II, Corned Beef Dinner from Christy

1. I arrived home Wednesday and after a while it didn't seem like the living room was properly heating up, mainly because the heat wasn't blowing into the room with the force it usually does. I pondered this problem and suddenly leveled foul language at myself! I realized I had forgotten to change the furnace's filter. I rumbled to the basement where I thought I still had filters, but I was wrong. 

This afternoon, after a guy came, sized up a job Debbie wants done, left, and I hustled to Ace and bought two filters. Back home, I replaced the filter that should have come out during the Cuban Missile Crisis. 

When the furnace kicked on, the heat blasted out in the usual way and I was happy that I could text Debbie and tell her "I fixed the furnace today." 🤣🤣

I hope this all holds up. 

2. I also took everything out of the refrigerator and cleaned the interior. It was another long overdue job and it's great having a spiffy fridge again.

3. Christy cooked a belated corned beef, cabbage, carrots, and baby red potatoes dinner and gave me a generous portion of her work. One look and I knew I wouldn't eat it all, so I have a second dinner to look forward to at lunch tomorrow.
