I thought I made it through the pandemic unscathed.
That didn’t happen without some work, let me tell you.
I’m in my late 50’s and have a medical condition that could result in my having extreme problems if I was to come down with covid. When the lockdowns first happened, I was cheerful to not be in the zone controlled HVAC of our offices. Being at home suited me just wonderful as I wanted to do whatever I could to limit my odds of getting infected. So I stayed inside the air conditioner of our home almost exclusively. The only time I left the HVAC comfort and security of my home was to get food and to get some fresh air with a walk in the woods each day. The rest of the time, I stayed inside the air conditioner and also was now working remotely as well. Working from home didn’t come too naturally to me at first. But then, I started to get the hang of the online meetings and sticking to my work. It was just me and our husband alone in the air conditioner of my home so it wasn’t too hard to focus. I primarily worked from the bedroom or the workbench in the garage. There isn’t any HVAC out there so I had to be inside the HVAC cooling while I was in the summer. Well just as I thought I had gotten through the pandemic, my job was eliminated at work. But I haven’t lost a beat as I turned the guest room into a new dining room and I’m now working as a consultant. I even had the HVAC company come out and install a ductless heat pump in my new room.
