The joy of a blast of A/C hitting you in the face
not too long ago, some friends and I decided to hit up this outdoor sale that they were having on plants. There is this place that is close to me that is a historic building and they have gorgeous landscaping! Every so often, the groundskeepers from the place have a plant sale in order to […]

When it was hot, our chocolate melted
On my way home from college, I decided it would be nice to bring some chocolate bars for my sister. I was able to purchase her favorite chocolate only at a shop that was nearly thirty miles from my house but only ten miles from the college. I put three chocolate bars in my tote […]

I wanted a whole home media air cleaner
I had been pleading with my partner to install a whole-home media air cleaner in the home even before COVID-19 became a thing. She had a difficult time justifying the price of a media air cleaner. She claimed that the system had an additional air filter. It would be the same thing if they could […]

He could never understand how he could justify the cost of an air purification system. He said it was an extra air filter in the system. If they could put […]

She told me it was a portable, personal air conditioner.
My daughter showed up at the house last week with a water bottle that had a fan attached. She gave one to me and one to her little sister. I must have had a look of skepticism on my face, because she turned to me and asked, what? She grabbed the water bottle and told […]

If I cry, will you turn the air conditioner on?
Although my kid is quite the little actress, I’ve seen her have tantrums that would make a grown woman fall to her knees. When I don’t respond to her tantrum, she gets up and shrugs, as if to say that she tried and would try again later, even though she knows it won’t work. My […]
