I knew it had been a long time since I had changed the air filter in my air conditioning unit.
When my spouse walked out on me, I didn’t guess how to do the beach house service. He did everything around the house, and he left me in the dark. I didn’t guess if I was angrier at him for walking out on me, or for not showing me how to do the home’s service. It took a couple of weeks before I could face anyone or anything without chopping down. It was another month before I found his service list. At the top of the list was decreasing the air filter in the air conditioning unit, or the furnace. I didn’t even guess there was an air filter, let alone knowing where it could be found. I called the Heating and Air Conditioning corporation and asked them if they could come to the beach house and show me where to find the air filter in the air conditioning unit. When the Heating and Air Conditioning tech showed up the next afternoon, he showed me where to find the air filter. When he went to pull it out, I thought he got a hernia. It had been so long since the air filter had been changed that it had become congested and lodged inside the AC unit. I was so embarrassed,embarrassed; I was sure I looked prefer I had a sunburn. The Heating and Air Conditioning tech smiled and shrugged. He told me he came across this situation more often than he could count. I was sure he was fudging it, but I said thank you.
