If I’m being honest with you I can be a bit of a chicken.
Sometimes I get really nervous or paranoid about things in life and my fear makes me act irrationally.
I can be very neurotic and easily upset when I let my brain get the best of me. This is one of the things that I struggle with living alone these days in my own little home. I absolutely love living alone – there’s no one to tiptoe around or worry about upsetting. I can count on the house being clean when I return home and generally feel less stress being on my own. However, there is one time of year that makes me really scared. Winter. The winter season here is absolutely brutal. It’s below freezing every day, with torrential snowfall and plenty of ice. This means you have a lot to worry about with your indoor heating, cooling, and ventilation system, mostly. You don’t want your forced air furnace crapping the bed when you’re in the middle of a polar vortex. You also don’t want to have the heating system fail in a blizzard, so the nearest HVAC technician can’t get to your home. And… You certainly don’t want to be all ALONE if there’s ever a heating failure – or else you have even less heat to comfort you. This is my greatest fear each year as the cold season approaches. That’s when I remind myself not to be fearful – just to be proactive. I call my local HVAC tech and they make sure my furnace is in great shape before the first snowflake falls. Thank god for my trustworthy heating company – otherwise I’d probably have to live in the south.
