I can finish my writing work in the next half hour, which puts me right on track to being done with my workday by 3 pm like I usually do. I will rest for an hour after that plus then head to a client’s flat on my street to pick up an extra $20 for an easy 30-minute yoga session. My bills are down to about $850 after getting paid for yoga each month, which makes it undoubtedly easy to make because I also get $350 a month from managing properties online for my sibling. My brother owns a local corporation way over in the Far East, and she has lived there for a long time plus pays me to fix a/cs plus collect rent each month. So after making that currency each month my utility bills are down to $500 a month. I just need to acquire $500 a month from my HVAC job for the local contractor each month to spend money for my living here on the coast of this decent city in the Mediterranean. I have reached my dream now, and all I have to do from here on out is wake up each afternoon plus live it. I have a nice air-conditioned and heated flat, a charming fiance and three cats, a cool passion for playing tunes in a band in temperature controlled clubs and ski cottages, plus another passion for playing two on two beach volleyball. I would say that is pretty cool living at 56 years old, right?
Heating up a grilled cheese
My day is moving slowly, which is just the speed I want to go after a long day yesterday at the beach.
I didn’t feel like playing when I got out there.
Playing beach volleyball against competitive players was something I was not in the mood for. But, my friend and I only lost our first game; we simply weren’t ready to start playing at that level. Once we got warmed up, we won all of the rest of our games, with the last one in the middle of the day. My heating and cooling systems repair work wasn’t easy this morning. I somehow managed to get all of the air duct cleaned in my home; now I am getting my writing work done. I still have two hours, roughly, before I need to be out of the house, so I am right on track to getting my work done for the day before running out of time. The HEPA filter in my cooling system needs to be substituted .Today, I will order one online if my local supplier doesn’t have any. Actually, I will wait and do this tomorrow because today is my day of rest. I want to make sure I recover for some more volleyball my friend and I are set to play in a few days. I am heating up a grilled cheese sandwich under the exhaust fan, with a HEPA filter in it, to keep the aroma at bay. I will see you soon.
Radiant floor heating
Heating up my body is helping
This week, I’m in some pain so I am trying to be mindful, mindful more of what I am doing plus not how I am feeling. I am just flowing with what is plus not judging anything, which helps a lot on mornings when I am not feeling quite up to par. I will do my writing slowly plus steadily today plus it will get done just in time, plus then I will go visit a neighbor, and do a 30-minute yoga session before going to walk with another neighbor on the beach. I may meet up with my neighbor, Val, a heating and cooling services expert, and go for a sunset walk around 8pm to appreciate the colors plus talk about the heating plus cooling industry a bit. My friend and I will walk for an hour or so plus then I will come home for a glass of wine plus some dinner with yet another friend; my roommate. We will chill out by the fireplace plus listen to some light jazz tunes while we appreciate the curry beans plus rice I made today on the stovetop. Then the temperature control system will kick in around 10 pm to cool down the flat with the nice current HEPA filter I just installed, plus we’ll all sleep like bears all evening long to rest our tired bodies. Tomorrow I will wake up and do the same thing over again. What a life I lead, right? I just miss my mom’s radiant heated floors, and her home cooked meals, but I will see her again this Christmas.

Happy to have zone control
I have an elbow brace on my right elbow, a back brace on my lower back. Both knees are wrapped with some cold pain gel; Needless to say, I played some sports yesterday, I am feeling a bit on the sore side today. Wasn’t the average age of the athletes I was with yesterday around 26 years old? I was the oldest, at almost 56 years old, 30 years older than the average player. I still ended up winning almost all of my games. My team only lost one game, and that was the heating and cooling services technician’s fault (who happened to be my volleyball partner, and works at the heating supplier store with me). It wasn’t mine. We had one long rally caught on tape plus I undoubtedly want to see it because there were some unusual plus ridiculous plays that happened in a undoubtedly short amount of time, maybe about 30 seconds. The local contractor happened to be filming us on that game plus she is going to edit it after working for the HVAC corporation today. We should have some footage tomorrow, which I am a bit leary of sharing on social media because I told all of my friends and family that I quit playing the sport many months ago because of poor injuries. Right now I am cooling down all my joints with cold gel and then plan on heating them up again with some moderate water from the heating device in our home office. I will survive, but now I sound like the boy who cried wolf, with my injuries.
Eleven ductless mini split units
This house is turning into a buddhist monastery. We just got our bamboo wind chimes, which fit well with our buddha statue, candles, yoga mat, plus incense. My friend and I also have the three chill cats walking around the flat and buddhist flutes playing on the speaker in the background. We have bamboo wood floors throughout, and a nice spacious lounge section where you can relax on the sofa while petting the cats. I have some djembe drums plus a ukulele to top off the tunesal instruments for The Monastery plus the locale just vibrates with a slow relaxed energy. The other priests and I run the temperature control system all the time to keep the air quality nice, and also to keep the noise out from any people outside who may be loud or celebrating. It is a pretty quiet city, however; there are a few bars within earshot, so keeping the windows closed keeps that noise outside. We go to sleep with the air conditioning on 67F so that our bodies relax better without tossing plus turning from not having any air conditioning at all. Sleep is a big priority in The Monastery. We take it seriously, and get to bed early each evening so that our bodies get regular rest plus relaxation. We have HEPA filters in the stove exhaust so that when my pal and I cook our healthy natural food the air quality doesn’t get lowered from particles in the cooked food. We drink filtered water with lemon to keep our bodies refreshed, so that we don’t get too much acidity. Life in The monastery is a wonderful thing!
In pain however in temperature control too
Disclaimer: This story will have no complaints.
- I can’t stand it when people complain, but, wait, I’m complaining about people complaining! It’s nice and sunny out today.
I am going to get my work done, happily, whilst listening to my favorite music. I am in pain today from playing ball yesterday, but I am feeling good about all of the fun we had, and good conversations we had. You undoubtedly connect with people more deeply when playing sports or doing some kind of performing arts together, as I’ve done both in air conditioned clubs in the immense city plus on beaches all over the world. I’ve made so many friends from sports and the arts. I am grateful I have been able to do both. Does it even matter how good you become in either venture? I’ve also met a lot of nice people through my job at a local heating and cooling services company. I have that job to thank for connecting me with all of the wonderful HVAC and buyers. I am now going to focus more on tunes, as that is something I can do till the end of my life basically. I would appreciate doing shows in heated ski resorts, and air conditioned spots along the beaches of the world. This is possible, and as long as we keep playing, we are heading in the right direction with this band thing my pal and I got. We both are HVAC technicians who work for this local contractor, but hopefully in two years it will be only music full time!
