He thanked me and sat down for lunch
For over a year we knew we needed a new HVAC system this year. Whenever I brought the subject up, my husband would tell me we had plenty of time to think about the HVAC system. He was currently trying to do something else. I knew he would wake up one morning and be upset he hadn’t addressed the HVAC problem. When we got a hot day where he needed AC, he would realize he had forgotten about the HVAC problem, and then he would be upset all day. Yesterday was that day. He was watching the weather in the morning, and they were predicting temperatures near eighty. Last week, it was in the forties and fifties. He asked if I had ever called the HVAC company? I told him he told me not to because he had other things to worry about. He threw his hands up and walked away, muttering the entire time. While he was doing his muttering, I called the HVAC company and made an appointment for them to come to the house and discuss a new HVAC system. An hour later, he came back to the kitchen and asked if I had yet made the phone call. I told him the HVAC technician would be there this afternoon. He thanked me and sat down for lunch. Now, he was obsessed with what kind of HVAC system we were going to order. I reminded him we had talked about a ductless HVAC system last year. He was already on his laptop looking at all the new ductless HVAC system and obsessing over which one we should talk to the HVAC technician about.
