It’s the end of the summer and i am so thankful. Ha! I’m very much a basic bitch when it comes to fall. I don’t know if it’s because I’m an October baby but there’s something about fall that speaks to my soul. Maybe it’s because I’m an introvert and fall symbolizes coldness is coming and validates my need to stay home. It could be the comfort flavors of pumpkin spice, soups and hot coffee. Or it could be my favorite holiday falls within fall. I mean who doesn’t love thanksgiving? Give me all the food. But before i dive deep into fall, i want to tell you a humbling story that happened to us recently.
Let’s set the scene: it’s the hottest week of summer. You work from home in a little office with your two dogs by your side. You shut the office door so it does get a little warmer but nothing to make you sweat. Maybe strip away the blanket on your lap or the sweater you’re wearing. Then at nine thirty in the morning, you get overwhelmingly hot. Sweating and don’t understand why. So you ask your husband in the other room if it’s hot to him. That’s logical, right? Maybe you’re just being a hormonal woman and are overheating because the office door is closed. So you open the door and realize it’s still really freakin hot. So you check the temperature and notice it’s 74° which is a bit higher than normal but maybe not high enough to make you sweat. So you wait it out hoping it’s just a fluke caused by the summer heat wave. Hours start to go by and the temperature continues to rise. Slowing approaching 80° and then eventually 85°. You change the filters and notice the air isn’t blowing super cold but the AC unit has been going all day. You know the AC unit can’t be going out because it’s only a year old. So you do the logical thing, call the person who installed it hoping it’s a simple fix. Sometimes it’s easy to get overwhelmed in hot situations, sometimes it’s hard to think logically when you’re overheated & overwhelmed. But sometimes, you just have to set up all the fans you own in your basement and ride out the wave. If you ever get yourself in a situation out of your control, i hope you don’t panic & remember to spray off the outside AC unit every 3 weeks because pollen will destroy it. Ha! On the real note, we survived the hottest day of the year without any working air. Sometimes you’re put in situations to see how you'll react. To show you that you can handle anything thrown at you. To humble yourself. And to remind yourself, you got this.
