I feel I’m one of those people who is pretty difficult on themselves.
I never think that the things I’ve accomplished are impressive or noteworthy.
I never have a long afternoon and tell myself that “I deserve” to reward myself in any way. Even when I have nothing on my agenda I can’t even give myself permission to relax and sleep in. That’s why it was a special afternoon when I decided to schedule a lazy afternoon in bed; little did I know that my home’s HVAC system would ruin my big plans. I had nothing on my schedule one summery Saturday, and decided I was going to kneel around in air conditioning all afternoon long, enjoying Netflix and eating yummy popcorn, then when I woke up the next day, but, my room seemed a little hot and stuffy. I checked to make sure that my windows were fully closed, and indeed, they were tightly sealing the hot Summer air outside. I went to the control component and was displeased to see that the indoor air temperature was 73 degrees, even though it was programmed for 76. I tried to adjust the settings, but wasn’t hearing my air conditioning humming in the background. The household was getting warmer and warmer as the sunlight rose higher in the sky, and I was calling every HVAC supplier in town trying to schedule an emergency call. Of course, most people was already booked for the day, and I spent my lazy afternoon standing around in the suffocating heat waiting for the HVAC professional to arrive.
