Grateful for Air Conditioner via /r/gratitude

It’s an older HVAC unit. I get it checked every year. The fan has gone out a couple of times in the past ten years that I’ve owned the home but the Home Warranty company has always had parts in stock in their local warehouse.

I live in the Phoenix area and we are experiencing above average temperatures now very early in the summer. This past week in June it has been 115 degrees Fahrenheit and right around that. Yesterday was 111 degrees Fahrenheit. Today is about 109 degrees Fahrenheit

I was a bit frightened earlier. I got home from the store and I had left just the fan to the outside running. I switched it to Cool and nothing happened. I put a call in to the warranty company and left a message. Waited 15 minutes and tried it again.

It works! Getting cooler now. They called me and I thanked them and said I wouldn’t need them. Thank Goodness!

I can thank my ancestors and guardian angels for guiding me and protecting me. And for keeping me calm.

So many people here are unable to afford air conditioners. Or to run them. So they go to the library or grocery stores to keep cool in the day and run floor fans at night.

I’m so happy that I have this beautiful home and all my working appliances. My mom bought this small home for me. She’s gone now and I miss her very much. All the time. When she died a few years ago at 85 we were just beginning to be friends, to really get to know each other.

Thank for reading. I hope that all of you are safe and well. Go gently with yourselves.
