My wife overheard me telling the friend that I was absolutely gleeful for Summer.
When I walked inside, I was asked to repeat my sentiments about the approaching Summer so she could hear it and maybe even tape it.
I deserved that one. Indeed, I’ve been the winiest and most air conditioner needy of all of us since my buddy and I moved to the south. And I mean, my buddy and I moved way south… Like, I broke out the space heater several times this winter season just to keep my streak of not turning on the heat pump during the winter season alive. It’s that far south and with this sort of latitude comes with it a whole bunch of high temperatures and equally high humidity levels, and of course, I was completely overwhelmed by the heat of the Summer. The first couple, I could only go from air conditioner to air conditioner! Just the time getting to and from the car was unbearable. But the immense costs of cooling the house because of my heat aversion was killing our finances. So I had to start laboring on both acclimating to the temperature down here in the Summer and easing up on the thermostat settings. I’ve gotten off to a good start so far. I’ve been relatively light handed with the cooling all Springtime to get more accustomed to the heat. And I had the Heating, Ventilation & A/C professionals come out to install a smart thermostat. This modern Heating, Ventilation & A/C technology will be sure to keep us comfortable without going overboard with air conditioner or cooling an empty house. So yea, I am gleeful for the Summer and for sure, I’d be willing to have that statement recorded.
