Just when I was starting to really get into this whole being an adult thing, I ended up back home inside the quality heating and air of my parent’s house.
So much for all the green lights that I had from highschool through college and into my mid twenties.
I was starting to think that most people had it wrong because life sure seemed easy to me. Well, maybe easy is the wrong term. I found plenty of challenges along the way but none that I wasn’t up to. Instead of partying in highschool and college, I chose to stay inside the central air conditioning of my room and study. Being social was an important part of my life for sure. But the partying just seemed like wasting energy when I could be working toward something. Perhaps that’s why it felt like I was just getting green lights all the way. I was offered a job by the one company I really wanted to work for. I worked in a great building downtown that had excellent zone controlled HVAC. I was able to have an apartment with no roommate on my salary. The apartment wasn’t the best but it wasn’t the worst either. And I tried to hang on to it after I was laid off from my job when the pandemic hit. Right away, my parents offered me a place to stay until I could get back on my feet. But I tried for nearly six months to avoid that. Finally, I took them up on their kind offer. While I was regrouping, it was at least really great to have the best in quality heating and air again.
