Remembering important things has not really been my strong suit.
There was a time when I was a kid that I was allowed to walk to town to get the mail.
That was a thrill. I was on my own and it felt so important and grown up to be just grabbing the mail. I didn’t like staying inside the HVAC during the summer so getting to walk to town was awesome for me. However, I rarely came back with the mail. I would get so caught up in all the things I saw along the way to the post office. And then, I would have a coke in a glass bottle and pet the store owners dog. I never even thought about the mail as I walked right past the post office on my way back home. This did not go over well with my mom. That is particularly true because I did it over and over and over again. That trait has stuck with me. I get distracted and forget stuff all the time. However, I have changed in one regard. Now, I very much like staying inside the HVAC during the summer heat. Good HVAC is imperative in our area. The heat alone is tough during the summer. But without HVAC, the humidity would just overwhelm and we’d be knee deep in mold & mildew. Fortunately, my family is enjoying the comforts of a new HVAC system this summer. After over a year of saving and planning, we have a state of the art heating & cooling system now. It was a few weeks in when I started feeling as though I had forgotten something. It was the warranty! It had to be filled out and fast. My wife, knowing my penchant for forgetting had already done it.
