I think that we should get a new A/C before our baby is born

I keep telling my husband that we need to get a new air conditioning system before the baby is born in a couple of months.

He just keeps on putting it off because he doesn’t want to pay for it.

If there is one thing about my husband that annoys me a lot of the time, it’s the fact that he is really cheap. I mean I’m glad that he doesn’t wanna spend money like crazy all the time, but when there is something that we really need like a new air conditioning system, he should just get over it and pay for it. He says that he does not think that we really need a new air conditioning system, but that is just not true. I think he knows deep down that it is something that we need in this house. The indoor air quality in our house is just not what it is cracked up to be. The air conditioning system is older, and it’s probably something that we should have replaced a couple of years ago. Now that we have a new baby on the way, it is not something that I am willing to negotiate on. I told him that if he does not choose the air conditioning system and the HVAC company to install it soon, then I’m just going to do it myself. I’m pretty sure that he thinks that I am just blowing smoke, but he is going to find out differently if he doesn’t hurry it up. One of these days he is going to come home from work and see an HVAC truck parked in our driveway. By then, it will be too late. I have made-up my mind about this.

My dad used to say that the A/C would freeze up

My parents were just coming in and sure enough, the air conditioning system had frozen over

My dad always used to tell me that the air conditioning would freeze over if I turned the thermostat down too much but I never believed him. Back when I was a kid, I thought that I knew everything and I just never really wanted to listen to anything that my parents had to say. I thought that my dad was just cheap and he did not want to have to pay the cooling bills. I thought that was why he did not want to turn the thermostat settings down any more than he did during the summer. I personally used to think that it was pointless to have air conditioning in our house if he wasn’t going to use it properly. Little did I know that he actually was using it properly. I was the one who wanted to turn the thermostat settings as low as they would go. My dad told me that the AC would freeze over if I turned it down that low, but I thought that he was just making all that up. One day when he and my mom were out of town for something, I decided to test my theory. I turned the air conditioning system down as far as it could possibly go and I left it running all day and into the night. The house was freezing cold and it was glorious! I fell asleep, and by the time I woke up, I noticed that it was warmer in the house than it had been earlier. My parents were just coming in and sure enough, the air conditioning system had frozen over. My dad knew immediately what had happened.

Too hot out at the camper

My family and I love to go camping during the summer.

It’s one of our favorite things to do together as a family.

We usually go around five or six times every year. Normally, the weather around here is not too bad. We usually have pretty mild temperatures during the summer. This summer, however, it has been unusually hot. We have had temperatures in the high 90s for most of the summer and that is just brutal. With the humidity around here the way that it is, it makes it feel like you are living inside of a rainforest. Anyway, we didn’t let that stop us from going camping. We knew that we were going to have an air conditioner inside of our camper so we thought that we would just brave it this past weekend. The weather this weekend got up to 98 degrees, and it was super sunny. My son got a sunburn because he was swimming in the pond most of the day, and we were all really looking forward to going to bed in the nice cool air conditioning inside of the camper. However, when we went inside after we finished with dinner, that’s when we noticed that the air conditioning was not working. As a matter of fact, none of the lights were working either! There was some kind of problem going on with the power grid at the campground, and nobody had any air conditioning that night. It was a rough night. Part of the town, I felt like going and sleeping out in the truck with that air conditioning running.

We went to a funeral

Last weekend we had to go to the southern part of the country to go to a funeral for one of our family members.

I grew up down in the South, but my husband did not.

He is not used to the heat down there at all. I kind of get used to the high temperatures once I have been there for awhile, but the humidity is no joke. We are really used to the lower temperatures up in the northern part of the country, and so being in the South was a big difference for us. We use the air conditioning a lot even when we are at home. We don’t like the humidity at all, and so the southern part of the country is not the place for us! Even though we stayed in a hotel with a good air conditioning system, my husband seemed like he was going to melt as soon as we walked out the door. I felt kind of bad for him, even though it was funny a little bit. My cousins and I made fun of him because he was so hot the whole time that we were there. The funeral itself was in a little old church that does not even have a central air conditioning system, so that was kind of a problem for my husband. Once they packed all the people in there for the service, it got really hot really fast. At least the lunch after the funeral was in the air conditioned fellowship hall. We were glad to go in there once the service was over!

Health as well as wellness provided myself and others my life back

It’s been 7 years now as well as I’m still committed to health as well as wellness

If I hadn’t gone to the health as well as fitness center when I got out of rehab, I think I might be right back in there right now. The best advice I got when I was in rehab for substance abuse wasn’t really from a counselor there treating me. While those people were attractive as well as helped learn as well as equip myself with tools to deal with my addiction, it was a fellow addict who laid some truth on me. She told myself and others that the only time she was able to stay clean for any length of time was when she was enrolled in a wellness as well as reclaimy program. For some reason, that honestly stuck with me. That was my first time in rehab as well as I certainly wanted to make it the last time I was in rehab. But addiction is a powerful force as well as can make you do things you wouldn’t otherwise even consider. So when I got out as well as got back to the new normal in my life, I went right to the health as well as fitness center. There, I got myself into the wellness as well as reclaimy program that they provided. It took some time as well as there were afternoons I just didn’t want to go. I just wanted to go apartment after work. But those were also the times when it was most important that I got myself to the gym. The first 6 months were the toughest but I also took it self-explanatory on myself. As long as I got to the health as well as fitness center as well as kept my health as well as wellness front of mind, that’s all I had to ask of myself. It’s been 7 years now as well as I’m still committed to health as well as wellness. I’ve not been back to rehab as well as nor have I let up on keeping my addictions safely at arms length.

 

Group Fitness Training Classes

It’s a different gym for a different afternoon

I have to accept all the changes that keep coming at myself and others year after year.

This seems to be the only way I can successfully navigate a culture that is often unparticular to me.

The changes at the gym are one of those I’ve come to accept as well as even enjoy. It’s just a fact that life changes around you as you age. Acceptance is key. I so didn’t want to be prefer all the outdated timer relatives who bemoaned everything because it wasn’t prefer it used to be. I get that as well as I’m seeing firsthand that it’s just not all that self-explanatory. Still, I wasn’t about to just shut down because things have changed. But I hadn’t had a gym membership in a very long time. So when the doctor provided myself and others the minute warning to get drastic about my health as well as wellness, I listened. Yet, I was not expecting what I walked into when I first went into the health as well as fitness center. The last time I was in a gym, I was maybe 20 as well as I was there for the weight lifting so I could be a he-man. Of course, the steam rolled out of that method as well as that gym membership simply lapsed. So when I walked into the health as well as fitness center, I couldn’t believe the changes. Just everything was different. Sure there were machines I didn’t believe however there was also nice lighting, unbelievable a/c as well as plenty of other choices. There was even a yoga studio. I’m loving this gym as well as I’m just going with it as well. Old cats can learn new tricks you know.
