My brothers were playing football in the living room, and I was supposed to be watching them. Instead of being a babysitter, I was being the big sister, talking to my friends and playing games, while ignoring my brothers.

I didn’t tell you winter was over.
My wife was in a hurry for winter to end and summer to begin. I came home last week, and she had the window air conditioners out of the basement. There was an air conditioning unit in our bedroom, our daughter’s bedroom, and in her workroom. She was putting the air conditioning unit in the […]
The car’s heater broke, and my teeth cracked from shivering.
She gave me a blanket, a hot cup of coffee, and turned the electric fireplace on to give me some warmth I was driving north to spend time with my family last year. It was the Christmas holidays, and I took three weeks of work off and headed home. I missed the snow and cold […]
There isn’t enough money for me to be an HVAC technician.
When it came time to graduate high school, I did all the footwork needed to get into the local college and take their HVAC courses. I had all the information, and I went home to talk to mom and dad. When dad saw the price for the course, he blanched. I asked what was wrong? […]

I hope my air conditioning will work when it’s needed.
I thanked her for the information, but I was sure my husband would not be happy with this delay in the service Last month, I meant to call the HVAC company. I needed to have my air conditioning unit serviced before summer began. I forgot to make the phone call, even though my husband reminded […]
It may be Spring, however, it feels like AC weather
Even though it’s only the middle of April and technically still Spring, the weather the last few days has definitely called for air conditioning. I’ve asked my husband to help me install window air conditioners because, regardless of the causes of the heat, I cannot stand being in the room. He reassured me that the […]
I told Dad I would die of heatstroke without Air Conditioning
My father’s laughter was the loudest I’d ever heard until I told him I’d die of heat exhaustion if we didn’t have air conditioning. He refused to turn on the air conditioning because my amazing friend and I still had a lot of pleasant weather ahead of us. In the middle of April, the temperature […]
Was it a ghost, or awful heating?
My best friend and I had been planning to visit the UK for a long time. My wonderful friend and I stayed in an old castle in the United Kingdom for our honeymoon. At first, I thought it would be exciting, but now I realize how terrified I really was. When my amazing companion and […]
