Heating



Ut-oh. I woke up...and I didn't hear that warm air from my heater/furnace. Despite that, it seemed positively tropical compared to those caught in the polar vortex. In California, we are 'weather wimps.'

 I called a heating company that had worked for me recently. The woman who answered the phone told me it might be that the batteries are dead in the thermostat. 


OMG..who knew the last time I changed out those AA batteries? Good news, she was right! I obeyed her instructions.

 That warm air warmed my heart and my jammie-clad body. 

 And what a coincidence...my client's furnace had stopped working the day before. I tried to change out those batteries, but I couldn't even open up the thermostat.

 As I was starting to close up my own battery door, I suddenly heard a symphony...it was playing in the furnace. Really...the music was glorious! 

 I looked around...nobody was there...was this a joke? Was I still sleeping? It was some type of victory music! I thought I was losing my mind!

 Then I realized my phone was in my pocket and somehow THIS amazing music came on and I didn't even touch my phone. 

 I went back to bed. 

Today, I met the heating dude at my client's home. Watching this guy work I felt a bit better because he was wrestling with the thermostat cover. Bad news, he had to replace the whole thermostat.  

 At least both houses are warm.

 Live richly and warmly,

A dear friend shared this photo with me.  It's a good reminder that if I have something to say, think twice before saying it! Another friend said she and her husband (who have owned a business here in A-town) are hitting the road in a motor home! They are shutting down the biz. It's the same type of motor home, as some other friends! They will be traveling to Bryce Canyon and beyond. I started to laugh out loud as I remembered that my family (mom, dad, 3 younger brothers, and myself), piled into the station wagon and we were headed to Utah. We would be seeing Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park. Both are beautiful...but you look up to see the mountains @ Zion and you look down to see the huge valley @ Bryce. And if you're cynical, you might whine that it's just a bunch of rocks.  Knowing what I know now, I would never take any kids to either place. The drive is too long, and they would get bored and blah blah blah.  Shortly after that, we moved back to Newport Beach (fr

Follow me on my Alameda Real Estate blog ! Kind of like the eclipse (it seldom happens but it's astounding when it does), in the last 12 days I had my hair cut, a mani/pedi done, my teeth cleaned, and my face cleaned up. I don't even remember when these items last happened in such a short time period. I felt like a million bucks. And then I started thinking about how often does the first of the month happen to be on a Sunday? Turns out google knows via the TimeandDate.com website (which is kinda fascinating). And it's more often than I thought. Oct 1st will be the next time a Sunday is the first of the month. And then I started thinking about the autumnal equinox. I mean, who doesn't? Maybe the question should be 'What are you talking (thinking) about, Marilyn?' This is my favorite time of year....autumn, fall, the space between summer and winter. The light outdoors is so sharp during the fall, even though there's less of it. As a very rank amat
