I’ll be the first to disclose that I can get a bit overwhelmed by all that I have going on.
Trying to pretend that I have it all together is another part of the picture. My Mom was constantly saying to never let people see you sweat, and to always stay calm and just figure things out when overwhelmed. But when it comes to having too many irons in the fire, keeping calm helps but stuff gets missed. I’m inside the zone controlled Heating and Air Conditioning of the office every day by 12:30 in the afternoon, and I’m never out of there before 9:00 in the evening. And normally, it’s later than that in fact. I also have a full slate of things in my adolescent’s lives that I’m accountable for from college to church to athletic activities. Then, I have the condo to worry about. My spouse and I try to tag team as much as we can inside the central air conditioner of home. That means cooking, homework, laundry and cleaning. Shopping is mainly a weekend thing. Oh, and then there are the social obligations. So yeah, I totally blew it last year on the air conditioner tune up. In fact, I blew it for like three years in a row when it came to that particular Heating and Air Conditioning service. Since we live in a region where there is more cooling than heating, I figured getting heating repair on the heat pump every so often would be enough. Well, I was completely wrong as there are peculiar elements to heating repair that don’t cover the air conditioner. I learned all of this a bit late since I just had to stroke an immense check to the Heating and Air Conditioning pros for a Heating and Air Conditioning repair. Of course, the air conditioner died like a week after I turned it on.
