I knew I had a lot to do before the Christmas holiday arrived.
I had just bought a house, and I had decorations to purchase.
I had to pick out the perfect Christmas tree, and I also needed to make sure my heating system would not quit working on me during the holiday. I was planning a huge housewarming party for Christmas. I wanted people to come and visit, and if it turned out well, I would make it a tradition. Of course, when I thought about the Christmas part, I was also planning on making the servicing of the furnace a Christmas tradition, too. I called the HVAC company, and I asked that they not only service my furnace, but I was hoping to have the ductwork cleaned, too. I didn’t know if the ductwork had been cleaned lately. I knew I hadn’t had it cleaned since I moved in, and I didn’t want to take a chance on having a lot of dust in the house because of dirty ductwork. They put me on the list for cleaning, and they promised I would have the furnace cleaned in about a week. I was now ready to go shopping and find all of the perfect decorations for my house. I was going to make a gingerbread house, and I thought it would be cute to have a pot belly stove, so I looked for a cookie that looked like a stove. I looked at my phone to check my bank account. I realized the HVAC company had called. They had a cancellation for ductwork cleaning, and they were going to be there in an hour.
