With everything going on in the world, I’ve been spending a lot of time outdoors relaxing in my backyard.
I’m stuck at home and I can’t work for the foreseeable future, so I’m doing my best to improve my mindset by being out in nature.
It really is amazing to sit outdoors and listen to the birds instead of being trapped in a dark little room. I’m getting so comfortable and familiar with parking my butt on the deck and working on the computer that I can’t even imagine sitting inside with artificial air anymore. I’ve been spending a lot of time out here, because it has become my new daily routine. That being said, I’m so used to being outside that my neighbors air conditioning unit became background noise at some point. There was always a gentle humming and knocking sound coming from his backyard where the AC condenser sat. One day, I stopped hearing this sound and I knew there was a problem with his cooling system immediately. I went over to his house and sure enough, he told me that the AC had stopped working sometime in the middle of the night. He couldn’t afford a new air conditioning system and he was worried about the coming heat of summer. I didn’t want my neighbor to be in danger of overheating, so I started a Go-Fund-Me to raise money for a new AC system. Within a week the neighborhood had purchased him a brand new cooling system and he was back to living a comfortable life. I felt good knowing that he would be safe and cool all summer, and I could go back to working with the sound of his AC in the background.
