Sometimes, I feel like an absolute idiot.
Some of the things I say or do, I find myself looking back on years later and cringing. I know we all have moments like that, but it’s hard not to hyperfocus on our own flaws and compare them to others. I just had something like that a week ago. My husband and I moved into this home a few years ago, and after a little while, we both noticed that one of our rooms wasn’t being heated or cooled. The HVAC system wasn’t the best, but it was enough to cool or heat our home. We didn’t think too much of it, and just kind of ignored it. However, we are turning that room into a nursery, and it needs to have proper HVAC. I originally thought that the issue was with my air conditioning system, so I had multiple A/C technicians come out and look at our system. But all of them would tell me the same thing, that our heating and cooling system looked and worked just fine. This was incredibly frustrating, but finally, we had one A/C specialist who decided to take a look at the room that was causing the issue. It was actually the air vent in that room, which was closed. The air conditioning specialist opened it, allowing cool air to flow into the room. I felt like an idiot. If I had just taken a look at the air vent to begin with, I would have realized that it was closed. That was such a simple fix, and I somehow didn’t even notice it.
