Heat

The furnace hadn't come on in 48 hours. I've reset it at least 75 times in the last two days, but the heat never kicked on.

Now, a mere hour before Mary gets home from her retreat, the furnace spontaneously turned on and is pumping out warm air.

I don't know if the furnace is scared of Mary, or if she's playing a trick on us... it's all very suspicious.

Either way, I have the heat set to 74 so that we can get nice and warm to make it through the rest of the day in case it fails to turn on again.
