A/C started randomly working again

I had something really weird happen the other day, it was the good kind of weird, but weird nevertheless.

So I live in a family that doesn’t make a lot of money, even though all of us are working, we all work minimum wage jobs.

Just my roommates and I. While we can get along just fine like this, if anything big happens and needs repairs, that is when issues arise. The air conditioner stopped working, and we all knew how expensive HVAC repair bills can be . Sure enough, the quote for the heating and cooling repair was far more than any of us could afford, especially since the damage on the A/C was extensive, so we all accepted the fact that we would be going without HVAC for a while. Even though we didn’t have cooling, it wasn’t too hard to live without. Really, it was only summer that was tough to get through. But apart from that, we kind of moved on. However, a year or so later, on a particularly hot day, my roommate decided to try and turn the air conditioning component on, and to her surprise it immediately turned on and started cooling the home. This was really weird because we tried multiple times to get it working again, and it never did anything. But suddenly a year later it is just magically working again, and it is cooling really efficiently as well? That was just weird, but hey, I’m not going to complain since I will happily live with A/C again.

HVAC repair was way too much

Thankfully, there was an independent contractor in the area with A/C knowledge

I never realized how many responsibilities I would have to juggle until I became an adult. I remember back when I was younger, and I had so few responsibilities then, and so very few things to worry about. Nowadays, it seems like there is always something for me to do, even on all my days off. Just yesterday I was thinking about how I needed to drop my pet off at the vet, pick up the kids from school, attend one of their theater plays as well as do a fresh load of laundry for all of us. After that, I cook dinner and have a little bit of TV time to myself. Well, another thing that needed to be taken care of was the HVAC machine. The A/C unit was having issues, and so I called a HVAC specialist to come and take a look at it all. My kids were already complaining about the lack of A/C, and I was looking forward to having the cooling back myself. However, when the HVAC tech came out and diagnosed the issue, and then gave me a quote for repair, I knew it was way too much. After he left, I sat there pondering about how I was going to get the air conditioner repaired. Thankfully, there was an independent contractor in the area with A/C knowledge. He came out and repaired the air conditioner for a much cheaper price. Before I paid him, I vaguely mentioned my financial issues, and he offered that instead of me paying him the regular price, he could have my coffee machine instead. I never used the coffee machine anyways, and so I agreed.

My beach day was ruined

Sometimes, even if you plan the perfect day, that doesn’t always mean it is going to turn out that way.

I seem to have that more often than I would like.

It starts out with me having some grand plan in mind, only for that plan to come crashing down after something bad happens. Here is my most recent example. My boyfriend and I really wanted some time to ourselves, we both work full time jobs with opposite schedules, so there are days where we don’t even see each other. Finally, one weekend we decided to take a small trip to the beach, lay out some towels and tan for awhile while enjoying the view. Of course, we planned on taking a dip in the water as well. We arrived at 1:00. I brought a book to read while tanning, but I found the book so boring I fell asleep. When I woke up, it was 5:00! I was also tomato red and my skin was burning. My boyfriend had also taken a nap as well, and I woke him up and we went home. I applied aloe gel on my skin for cooling relief, and it did help some. I also sat in front of the air conditioning as well, in an attempt to cool down. Even though I wasn’t in the sun anymore, I still felt as if my skin was heated. The A/C did help a lot, but as soon as I moved away from the air conditioning vent, I was right back to being hot, so I had to stay next to the HVAC system for a while just to be comfortable.

A bad storm in the middle of traffic

I tapped the steering wheel impatiently.

  • I was stuck in the middle of rush hour traffic, and as if that wasn’t bad enough, I could see dark clouds heading my way.

The last thing I wanted was for it to rain while I was driving, during rush hour. Not only that, but the last storm we had was pretty bad and caused a lot of wind and flood damage, and the last thing I needed was to worry about my central HVAC potentially being flooded again. I also still had one more errand to run, and that storm is going to make it more difficult than it needs to be. I began to drive to my last destination, a stop to pick up my repaired headphones, and just as I was beginning to think that it wasn’t going to rain, it started to rain down. The rain was so heavy it made it hard to see a few feet in front of me, and I was glad to finally park in the parking lot. I waited 20 minutes for the rain to subside a bit, and when it did, I ran inside the store. I still managed to become drenched, and my clothes were dripping with rain water. An umbrella didn’t help either, as the wind was whipping the rain around. I was incredibly cold, but the heating system in the store made me feel a lot better. I could tell the rain wasn’t going to let up, and since the furnace system in the store felt so good, I decided to stay for a while. I found a HVAC vent and sat under it to really feel the heater’s heated air. I felt much better after about 20 minutes, and was drying off a little bit.
