I’m actually looking forward to installing our own thermostat. I’ve never actually done it before but I’m much more than confident that I can do it. It’s simply a long story as to how I got this way, but eventually I just wanted to start doing things for myself. I finally used to have another partner that wasn’t who I thought he was. When my friend and I first met everything was roses and sun but it didn’t take long before I abruptly saw his actual colors. He was controlling and emotionally abusive and he was actually sinister in the way he did things because he was able to convince me that I couldn’t do things on our own and that I was dependent on him for everything. It actually finally took me a long time to come out of the fog and realize all the lies that I had been led to think were true. One of the first things I started to do when I got out of that relationship was start doing things for myself. It didn’t take me long to figure out that I was not this stupid person that he made me out to be and that I was more than capable of getting our own stuff done. He would actually do everything for me when I was in the relationship so in this way I would be made helpless and relying on him for everything. And now I’ve finally been doing things for myself for a while and it’s been feeling great. I’m going to be putting in our own thermostat that I just bought on our own. It’s actually straight-forward to do there’s tons of DIY tutorials on how to install your own smart thermostat. I’m confident that I can do it. I’ve done several other beach house improvement projects on our own separate from his help around the home and I’m finally going to continue to do more.
