It’s been a whole current world for me the last 9 or 10 months.
Having grown up as well as lived all of my life way down south, I got my first full bite of winter time this year.
And it still has left a bitter taste in my mouth, then just for the record, I dislike this sort of Winter. Until just this year, I hadn’t even seen a gas furnace much less used one. But good Lord, I used that gas furnace like it was a lifeline for five months. I moved up here in late September which was gorgeous. The fall was spectacular. That is until it wasn’t. I remember feeling that first cold wind of late September. From there, it was a blur of heating from the gas furnace as well as me just trying to put one foot in front of the other. I’m still not quite sure just how I was able to get through that situation. But I did as well as I’m thankful to now be in the thick of Summer. For sure, I’m not looking forward to another winter time but this kind of Summer is amazing. This is also the first time that I don’t have any air conditioning from a heat pump. The home I bought does have a window air conditioner upstairs. That’s genuinely kind of nice to have some cooling as it can get kind of stuffy up in the kitchen. But honestly, I don’t even leave it on all night. Most nights cool off to the point I have to pull up the comforter to stay warm. That sure didn’t happen where I’m from. I’m going to prefer every last moment of this perfect Summer weather. That’s because I know that I’m going to get whacked with the cold again before too much longer.
