Sometimes I really wonder about my man.
He’s so smart in so many ways… and then really surprises me in other ways when he does incredibly stupid shit. This morning, for instance, it came to light that he had not ever taken care of our insurance payment because he couldn’t’ remember the login information online. Therefore, he just let our policy expire because he didn’t make the time to call customer service. I swear to god, there are days that I almost murder him for his stupidity. That’s why I really shouldn’t be surprised about our little heating and cooling mishap the other week. I woke up one morning to find that it was suddenly Fall! The air temperature outside had suddenly plummeted by about 25 degrees, and as such, the indoor air temperature had become surprisingly brisk, as well. At first I ran down to the thermostat and began punching at the furnace power button, trying to increase the heater settings to at least 70 degrees. The thermostat responded, but I never heard the central heating equipment kick into gear as I got ready for work. By the time I walked out the door that morning, I was chilled to the bone and convinced that we had a major heating issue. Of course, my guy and I then had to argue over whether or not we should call out an HVAC specialist to look over the furnace, because he was convinced that the HVAC repair could be done without a professional’s opinion. Fast forward to three days later, we still had no working heat in the house. Literally as I picked up the phone to call the nearest ventilation specialist, my boyfriend had a brilliant revelation. The furnace wasn’t broken at all, but he had never set up the gas in our house to power the heating device.
