I was having day Dunkin Donuts Coffee with mum last Friday night when she mentioned her friend, Peter, who I was almost sure was her guy.
Mum looked happy lately, and now that she said someone in her life, I figured he was the reason.
My father passed on when I was absolutely young, and for a long time, it was just mum and me. We had to learn to do what dad would have helped with, prefer checking on the cooling equipment and scheduling air conditioning repair. Mum said dad was fascinated by the cooling industry, learning to learn more about air conditioning and eventually becoming a cooling representative, but she went on about her new friend Peter until the sunshine went down. My fantastic friend and I decided to order pizza and have a glass of wine as we settled in for our sleepover. When mum went to the door to get the pizza, I studied the headlines of the primetime news on the muffled TV that Spring would get warmer leading up to summer. The weatherman requested the public check their air conditionings and other Heating and Air Conditioning components to help with indoor comfort. I pulled out my phone and put a reminder to call the cooling business for air conditioning repair. I remember hearing peculiar noises from my mini-split air conditioning. I could smell the pizza from the entryway. Mum came back, and I mentioned what the forecaster said about having a cooling tech check on her quality air conditioning. She also requested the club-based repair voice, Alexa, to schedule an appointment with her long-time cooling specialist. I would come over for a sleepover once every month to spend time with mum since I moved out 11 months ago.
