Okay, so not everything about 2020 was a total bust for me. Granted, most of 2020 was just one disappointment after another as I witnessed the pandemic spin out of control. However, I kept my head, stayed close to the a/c safety of my home and just kept doing my best to deal with it. I knew it wouldn’t last forever despite the fact that I sure wasn’t willing to risk my health so I could go grab a pizza in the a/c last summer. Still, there were a lot of things that I had to give up last year. We didn’t get a holiday and I couldn’t work from the zone controlled heating and air conditioning of our modern offices. Basically, I was at home with my family either working or hanging out with them. Honestly, it wasn’t so bad spending all that time in the heating and air conditioning with my family and my partner. We ended up genuinely looking out after one another in a way I wasn’t sure that we were capable of. But there was one thing that I had zero problem giving up. That was going to the gym. I never liked the gym but my partner was insistent that I go with her. The heating and cooling levels in the gym were never comfortable. I was never comfortable exercising with a bunch of strangers. My partner and I started a home gym in the basement when we gave up on the gym. I even had the heating and air conditioning people come out and put in a ductless heat pump so now we can finally exercise in some good, even heating and cooling comfort.
