I bleached my teeth this afternoon for an hour with those whitening strips and now my teeth feel naked. It feels like I had jackets on my teeth and now they have been removed on a frosty winter afternoon. It isn’t the nicest feeling in the world I can tell you, although I want to get some of the stains off so my smile doesn’t scare away dogs. I obtained some Sensodyne toothpaste at the store and am going to use it each afternoon while doing this bleaching thing to see if it stops the sensitivity. My heating and air conditioning rep told me that it will, so I am heeding her advice from yesterday when we were working on a heating system for a client. I have to wear these strips for two weeks and I know my teeth would drive me crazy if I didn’t use the toothpaste for this kind of pain. I couldn’t work on air conditioners all afternoon if my teeth were like this, let alone cleaning ductwork in an uncomfortably hot attic. So I suppose I will be better in a couple of afternoons once this toothpaste does its job and stops the sensitive feeling I have right now. And speaking of duct cleaning, my ductwork is going to need a large overhaul soon because the ducts are leaking in some spots and wasting the air that should be coming out of my vents. I need to get some of that tape from the store although I suppose I will do it later this week when my teeth are better.
Heating up our place
I just got congested on Soundcloud for five days for following too many people, oops.
I’m just trying to get our sound out there and was following a lot of people but I guess I kind of overdid it.
My goal is not to get a million followers or anything like that, but more to get our music listened to to see if any of them are fantastic or not. So now I have to wait five afternoons before I can follow anyone else, which is fine with me because we got a fantastic chunk of followers coming in yearly. Heating up our place was my plan and at least we got some local business owners listening to the music so I know which ones are good. I will chill with the following once my block is removed and follow less people each morning. I just didn’t know the rules and periodically you have to break them to learn about them. I’ve broken rules as a heating and air conditioning worker many times and have also broken rules when I was working for the local business. My gramps used to call me a rebel and a maverick, which back after that I didn’t know what they meant, but I for sure know now. Gramps was a boiler salesman and worked a lot for this local business and then would come home to a trouble maker like me. I guess I’ve kind of been a rebel all my life for some reason, however it has given me some cool memories at least. Now this rebel is going to go clean his washable filter, see ya.
Working on smart temperature controls
How many hours a day do you have to yourself? Online it says that two to five hours of free time a day is ideal for happiness.
Well, I have a lot more than five hours of free time each day, absolutely closer to seven or eight hours a day.
I fill that free time though with music and it doesn’t seem to bother me that I have so much of it, but maybe if I wasn’t playing beach ball or playing music in a band I would be bored with all the free time I have, but this heating and air conditioning tech is just fantastic with all of that free time. I need to get back on my workout routine though because I have been resting a lot in my free time. My heating corp keeps me active with the heating and air conditioning system repairs I do, but I need to get in some weight training each week or my muscles begin to deteriorate quickly. Lifting up heavy heating devices is fantastic for your muscles, but I haven’t had many to lift as I have been working a lot on smart temperature controls and small things like space heater repairs and things like that. So today I am going to begin my weight training program after I teach my yoga student later this afternoon in his climate controlled flat. It is a sunny morning and it will be a fantastic one for doing my workout routine on the beach later when it cools down. My heating and air conditioning rep associate will join me in the workout later and it should be fun.
My HVAC work is light labor
I’ve absolutely put my process engineer skills to work with my lifestyle. I work just 15 hours a week and spend entirely little time cleaning the flat thanks to my robot helpers. I just cook supper a few times a week and freeze the leftovers and rotate what I eat each week so it doesn’t get monotonous. I bet I spend about five hours a week cooking, shopping, and cleaning the flat, which is fantastic because that means only 20 hours a week are spent doing things that are considered “work” to me. My heating and air conditioning tech job is absolutely light work because I no longer lift heavy heat pumps or air con systems and just do paperwork and inventory for the local business. The rest of my time is spent doing what I love, which is music and volleyball, and it is the type of lifestyle I’ve been longing for for a long time. My climate control system is running this afternoon for four hours while I do my work and chill with the cats. So I basically work three hours a morning on average, which means I have about 12 hours free to do as I please, which seems to be a fantastic balance for me. My heating and air conditioning business associate back in the States told me that his heating and air conditioning company keeps him absolutely scheduled and he only has an hour and a half of free time each morning. He spends a lot of time selling boilers at his local contracting business and when he gets home he is pretty much spent.
Out in the city doing HVAC repairs
It is nice having a robot do all of my vacuuming in my flat as I absolutely don’t love the chore too much.
I have hardwood floors and entirely little clutter in my flat, so the robot does a fantastic job of cleaning the floors each morning for me.
It saves me a lot of time and my robot dog litter unit saves me a lot of time too. I also have a robot feeding and watering station for my cats, so I could leave for a week and they wouldn’t even care. I got these cats from the local business and the cats keep each other company when I am out of town doing some heating and air conditioning system repairs. I have left for up to a week and when I come back my cats are totally fine. They have air conditioning and music playing while I am gone and they keep each other company in my climate controlled flat. I don’t have to do much in this flat except for cooking and washing the dishes, which doesn’t take that long to do. I have a fantastic air purifying system in here to keep the dust and pollen down to a minimum, and the HEPA filter does a fantastic task of removing all the other stuff that keeps the indoor air quality down. I pretty much just have to put the food away that gets delivered to my flat and cook meals for supper. The local business helped me streamline my life like this when we were going to heating and air conditioning tech fall semesters ago.
Advice from a HEPA worker
I’ve finally learned to be cheerful on my own after being alone for a year and a half now.
It was bothering me that I have been alone so long now, but my spirit needs some healing time and I am learning to love it.
I’ve been trapped in disappointing relationships before and it is better to be on your own than to be stuck in a dead end marriage or whatever. I have a flatmate so I am not totally alone here, and we also have three cats to keep us company. Now I am having fun again with heating and air conditioning system repairs on my own and enjoying my climate controlled flat with the three cats. I have a fantastic flatmate that covers half the rent, along with all of the heating and cooling bills each month and it just makes it easier on my finances and gives me company at the same time. I will meet someone down the road I am sure, maybe it will be another year or two until my heart is ready though. The HEPA filter worker told me that when the heart is ready to open up you won’t be able to stop appreciating it from coming in! So I will just do my heating and air conditioning tech labor each week and chug along like before when I was in a relationship, but now I can work on a cooling system till late in the night without feeling like I will get the 3rd degree when I get home late. It all works out in the end so just enjoy the ride.
