I should have given it a little more thought before making such a significant change. But love has a way of making me oblivious to things that, looking back, perhaps I should have given more consideration to. However, I have absolutely no regrets about choosing to leave my southern home’s air conditioning in favor of all this heat up north. It’s worth taking some chances when you find the person who makes you feel complete. Late last summer, I received word that my three-year girlfriend had been transferred. At first, even though the air conditioner was running, I can recall getting a little sweaty out of panic. But when she asked me to join her while putting on her bravest face, I was so happy. I only wanted to hear this because I believe this person will be my forever love. Thus, relocating to the north was entirely feasible. I work in the central air conditioning at home, which is a significant factor. I can therefore work from anywhere as long as I have good heating and air, wi-fi, and my computer. Still, without this new gas furnace, I would not have survived this protracted winter. It was a blessing that it was included with the rental home we are in. To truly understand how cold this place is, one must visit. The heat pump was unable to cope with this because it is so unlike anything I remember from the south. Even though March is rapidly approaching, I continue to cling to the gas furnace as a sort of security blanket.
