I got to my house and went straight to bed.
- I noticed later I had been too weary even to change the job clothes I had on.
Working as a waitress was paying the bill and covering school, but the long hours were bruta. Fortunately for me, I got a few days off after convincing my boss to give me some time to do my exams for a week, and he agreed. Besides that, I did not have to worry about upkeep since mom sent me some money to help during this period. This meant that I could relax, and I could finally get some sleep. During the day, I knew something was different because the beach house was suddenly chilly. It seemed the A/C device wasn’t blowing in a sufficient amount of heat into the beach house it had the night before. The temperature swings were worrying because it was winter, and no one wanted to stay in a chilly house. I went to check the thermostat and noticed it had an error mark. That meant it was defective, and I had to call on an A/C repair person to repair it. The heating, ventilation, and A/C contractor was located a few minutes from the house, which made it easy for the heating, ventilation, and A/C professional to get there in great time. He had to turn off the heating method before he could work on the thermostat. I explained to him the beach house had been warm the previous night and chilly that day. The heating, ventilation, and A/C method had an old thermostat which was proving cumbersome to repair. After a few trials, the A/C mechanic recommended changing it to a recent version. The smart thermostat would cause fewer troubles with the heating in the house. What’s more, I could control it using an app on my phone. It was the best news since I consistently wanted to turn on the central A/C before getting home. That way, the house could be warm or cool when I got inside.
