Periodically I think I would be better off living on some tropical island where the sun never sets.
During these moments of dreaming, I’m normally shuffling endless snow out of my driveway.
If I did not do this every day, how else would I get to work? My husband wolves laugh at me as I mumble a few profanities now and then. I appreciate living in the north, but winter is brutal. A few winters ago, I was busy getting ready for snow shuffling when my husband rushed out of the home with some news. It seemed there was something wrong with the heating component because it was making a gurgling noise. That was new to me because I had never heard the heating component make such a sound before. I had to stop what I was doing to inspect the situation. If the AC failed, my husband would not be able to work comfortably at home. Therefore, I had to cancel the drive and call a heat pump expert to the house. It took more than one minutes for the expert to find his way to our home. He heard the gurgling noise as soon as he approached the heat pump, so he switched it off. It was a clear indicator that the component required a coolant recharge. I had no clue what that meant, and so I got out of his way. It was pointless to try and work because I was unsure how long it would take to service the faulty furnace! So, instead, I snuck into my husband’s house office when he was not looking and began doing some work.
