Last week was a really difficult one.
- We had back-to-back obligations all weekend long which made the time fly.
We already felt very haggard and run down by the time Monday rolled around and then it was time to start a brand-new work week. Unfortunately, the climate wasn’t going to cooperate with our work-from-home obligations. On Monday we had a massive storm roll through the area which quickly knocked out our power. Without any electricity we had no internet and no water. We also had no air conditioning. All of these factors made it impossible to get any work done and extremely uncomfortable to continue living. We did our best to sit in the sweltering hot indoor air without any air conditioning system to keep us comfortable. We truly were trying to be patient, but without indoor air handling devices it was rather difficult. The outdoor air temperature was insanely hot and the humidity was absolutely oppressive. We were doing our best to wait for the energy company without losing our cool, but the lack of central AC was really killing us. In the end, the energy company managed to reinstate our power sooner than expected. Unfortunately, the electricity didn’t resolve our AC issue. When the lights came on, the TV powered up, and the appliances started beeping… the AC didn’t make a peep. As we played with the thermostat and investigated the cooling system, we realized that the air conditioning unit was not going to start up. We finally had power, but now we needed to use that electricity to call the local HVAC shop for our busted AC system.
