I’ve been listening to a lot of podcasts for the past few weeks, trying to fill our time & silence space with some interesting perspectives… It has been going well, & I have been enjoying all of our beatbox shows for the past month, despite the fact that I recognize they might be driving our wife crazy.
Ironically enough, many of the podcasts have been about the added pressure being put on relationships during this quarantine, and apparently, couples are legitimately getting aggravated with each other being in such close quarters for weeks on end.
I have to say, I have not been feeling the same way, however luckily, our wife & I have been getting along legitimately well & we have legitimately developed current hobbies to do together during this shelter in venue order… Namely, the people I was with and I have been enjoying a lot of DIY apartment repair videos & reading how to repair up our central Heating & Air Conditioning system without paying for a professional heating & cooling specialist! Before all of this happened, the people I was with and I were both aware that our indoor air conditions was declining, however every month, our energy bill was slowly creeping up & our Heating & Air Conditioning system was running for longer periods of time each morning. It was clear that the people I was with and I were going to need a major oil furnace & a/c overhaul, along with a proper air duct cleaning, & a current control unit wouldn’t hurt either, however the two of us were both too busy to tackle any of our air quality complications at the time, so the people I was with and I simply anticipated a giant Heating & Air Conditioning repair bill in the future! Well, now that the people I was with and I have nothing else to do, we have decided to handle the heating & cooling system on our own, however my wife & I are legitimately happier & healthier than ever, with lower energy bills, cleaner air, & a more comfortable quarantine space.
