I learned a lot about myself and my home during the pandemic.
This is something I try to recognize in all aspects of life.
With every crisis or outright punch in the mouth that life hands me, there is always a space for learning and growth. But when we were sent home from inside the zone controlled HVAC of the office, I had no idea it would result in so much change. I so wasn’t looking forward to being cooped inside the central air conditioning of my home much less working remotely. I’m a people person and I loved being inside that zone controlled HVAC of the office. Still, I had to be so careful during Covid as I have a health condition that put me a big risk for really bad Covid sickness. So staying inside the HVAC cooling all summer and the heating from the heat pump in the winter was necessary. The thing is though is that I’m single and so it was just me banging around inside the central air conditioning of my home. But to protect myself and increase the strength of my immune response, I created the best indoor air quality ever inside my home. I replaced the old HVAC air filter with a HEPA filter. This makes a huge difference as the HEPA filter removes more than 99 percent of the airborne contaminants from the air. But I took that a step further by adding a whole home air purification system as well. So not only did I get through the worst of it, I am healthier as a result. So there is always something to gain from trying situations.
