Recently, my air conditioner went down and I didn’t have the money to fix it immediately.
I had so many other bills to pay, and I wasn’t in the best position financially.
To make matters worse, it was the middle of the summer. It was June and the temperature was reaching into the 90s on a regular basis in the afternoons. It’s not like I’m a handyman so I wasn’t able to fix the problem myself. I spent many a night relying on nothing more than my ceiling fan and my box fans to keep me cool. It was better than if I didn’t have them, but I was really missing my air conditioner, that’s for sure! I have to say that I’m very glad that I had my pool, at the very least. My pool had recently been finished, and I have to admit that had something to do with the fact that I didn’t have the finances to muster to deal with the HVAC problem. It would be a while before I would be able to build my savings up again. I had to spend the rest of the month of June without an air conditioner. That ended up being eighteen days! I sure did spend a lot of time in the swimming pool every afternoon that I could possibly manage to do so. The water was nice and cool and refreshing. I ended up getting quite a tan too. I have to say that the evenings were the roughest part. I found out just how much I rely on my air conditioner to get a good night’s rest. It’s not that I didn’t sleep, but my sleeping was rather fitful compared to normal. .
