Several months ago when I left our beach house in addition to drove North I imagined that our trip would last about a week, well, it’s been 3 months in addition to I am still here.
I am rather shocked that I’ve been able to stick it out for so long considering the circumstances.
In the past, I have never been able to get along well with our mother, then she’s a legitimately nice woman however she has neuroses that interact poorly with our own, as such, it’s constantly been a challenge for us to be in each other’s dealer for more than a few hours. In this extended stay, I have found a few sneaky ways to reduce our anxiety in addition to annoyance towards her. Mainly, I rely heavily on the central cooling plan to deliver me a break, you see, our Dad has a particularly old central a/c unit, then the central cooling plan doesn’t operate particularly well, which means that it is constantly turning on in addition to off throughout the day to manage the indoor air conditions. It absolutely is not an energy-efficient air handling component at this point. The a/c unit also makes a hell of a racket every time it kicks into gear. It sounds like a small jet engine taking off, rather than a residential air handling device. This is why I like to work in the back office, right next to the a/c unit outside. Thanks to all of the additional sound that it pumps into the environment, the a/c plan effectively drowns out a lot of the noises that our Dad makes. With the A/C unit chugging along next to me, I don’t have to hear our mother talking to herself, banging cabinets, or generally complaining into the environment. Bless this AC.
