I guess I’m one of those people who is pretty hard on themselves. I never think that the things I’ve accomplished are impressive or noteworthy. I never have a long day 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 day when I decided to schedule a lazy day 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 lay around in air conditioning all day long, watching Netflix and eating yummy snacks. When I woke up the next morning, however, 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 thermostat and was displeased to see that the indoor air temperature was 80 degrees, even though it was programmed for 70. I tried to adjust the settings, but wasn’t hearing my air conditioner humming in the background. The house was getting warmer and warmer as the sun rose higher in the sky, and I was calling every HVAC company in town trying to schedule an emergency call. Of course, everyone was already booked for the morning, and I spent my lazy day sitting around in the suffocating heat waiting for the HVAC professional to arrive.
