I know one of the biggest complaints of my good friends during the pandemic was the fact that most of them hated staying home.
Since most of us were stuck to our houses, a lot of my friends were trying anything possible for social contact. I’m not an overly social person, so staying indoors all of the time did not affect me at all. In fact, I actually really like to stay home. I know my one friend really did have it bad though. The reason is because they already don’t like staying home to begin with. They are the kind of person who has a difficult time staying in one spot, and are always leaving for an adventure. So staying home was already difficult enough for them, but it got worse. Right around that time, their cooling system broke down, during the summer months. Without the A/C their house wasn’t protected against the heat, and it quickly became unbearably hot. They tried calling multiple different heating and cooling corporations, but most of them were completely booked with other HVAC appointments. Unfortunately, since it was summer, it was completely normal for most HVAC corporations to be busy. Most people around this time have air conditioning trouble, usually because their cooling devices are overworked, so they break down. My friend did finally get a HVAC appointment at one of the cooling businesses, but it isn’t until 3 weeks from now. So for now she is going to have to find a way to stay cool, in her furnace of a home.
