Running the oil furnace soon

It is a good life with climate control and a nice person to share my time with, and although I am missing my heating supplier mom a lot I need to be here for my dreams to come true with the musical pursuit

I have exactly two more hours till I need to be down the street doing a yoga session for a client. He pays me well to teach him yoga three times a week, so much so that it pays for all of my food for the week, which is great because then I can save more of my normal paycheck to get that buffer in the bank again that I like to have. I am cooking some beans and rice on the stove later and am going to have date night with my flatmate later this evening. She’s an HVAC rep and we met some years back at the local business and decided to move in together a year or so ago. Well, she kind of grew on me and we began dating a few months ago and like to have date night once a week where we eat good food and listen to some oldies music by candlelight with the cats. It is a good life with climate control and a nice person to share my time with, and although I am missing my heating supplier mom a lot I need to be here for my dreams to come true with the musical pursuit. If mom passes on I know that we both loved each other and that she will always be with me in my memories and feelings, so she really will never die in my mind. I am going to fire up the fireplace soon and go get that yoga session done so I can come back to my love and my natural climate control heating system.

Eight fireplaces left on the market

I will knock out eight or nine more articles today in a timely fashion and then it will be yoga and meditation time.

I am going to start listening to my podcast soon so I can start my Spanish learning for the day.

I normally listen to about two hours of Spanish stories so that I can pick up more on the spoken language in my town. I think within six or seven months my Spanish will be at the level where I can carry on a regular conversation with the local business people here so that I don’t feel like so much of an outcast anymore. I like to listen to podcasts while I do my yoga and while I am cooking and cleaning. I don’t like to listen to it while I clean ductwork because it is a bit too distracting, and cleaning HVAC equipment takes all of my focus and concentration to avoid getting hurt on the job. I have a slow day toad and am just going to teach a little 30 minute yoga session to a friend and then go relax at the beach and watch the sun sink down in the sky. It should be warm and air conditioning is going to be needed soon for cooling down my office while I am working, but today is a bit cooler and I don’t think I will need to run the HVAC system just yet. I have a few little fans that I am going to use when it gets warmer, and soon after that it will be a/c time again.

Heating up a grilled cheese

I am crawling through my day so far, which is just the speed I want to go after a crazy day yesterday on the beach for so long. I didn’t feel like playing when I got out there yesterday as I was just not in the mood for beach volleyball against some competitive players. But we only lost our first game as we were cold and not ready to start playing at that level. But once we got warmed up we won all of the rest of our games, with the last one being the pinnacle of the day. HVAC equipment repair this morning was not so easy, but I somehow managed to get all of the ductwork cleaned in my flat and now I am getting my writing work done for the day. I still have two or so hours before I need to be anywhere besides the flat, so I am right on track to getting my work done for the day before running out of time. The HEPA filter in my cooling system needs to be replaced and today I will order one online if the local business doesn’t have any. Actually, I think I will wait and do this tomorrow because today is my day of rest and I want to make sure I recover for some more ball we will be playing in a couple more days. I am heating up a grilled cheese sandwich under the exhaust fan with a HEPA filter in it to keep the smell from the home. I will see you soon.

Heating up the body is helping

Then the climate control system will kick in around 10pm to cool down the flat with the nice new HEPA filter I just installed, and we’ll all sleep like bears all night long to rest our tired bodies

Today I’m in some pain so I am trying to be mindful, mindful more of what I am doing and not how I am feeling. I am just flowing with what is and not judging anything, which helps a lot on days when I am not feeling quite up to par. I will do my writing slowly and steadily today and it will get done just in time, and then I will go visit a friend and do a 30 minute yoga session before going to walk with another friend on the beach. I may meet an HVAC expert friend later, Val, and go for a sunset walk around 8pm to enjoy the colors and talk about the heating and cooling industry a bit. We will walk for an hour or so and then I will come home to have a glass of wine and some dinner with yet another friend; my flatmate. We will chill out by the fireplace and listen to some light jazz music while we enjoy the curry beans and rice I made today on the stovetop. Then the climate control system will kick in around 10pm to cool down the flat with the nice new HEPA filter I just installed, and we’ll all sleep like bears all night long to rest our tired bodies. Tomorrow I will wake up and do the same thing over again more or less, what a life I lead right? I just miss my mom’s radiant heated floors and her home cooked meals, but I will see her again this Christmas.

Happy to have zone control

I have an elbow brace on my right elbow, a back brace on my lower back, and both knees are wrapped with some cold pain gel.

Needless to say, I played some sports yesterday and am feeling a bit on the sore side today.

I think the average age of the players yesterday was around 26 years old, with me being the oldest at almost 56 years old. So that means I was 30 years older than the average player yesterday but still ended up winning almost all of my games. We only lost one game and that was the HVAC techs fault and not mine, who happened to be my volleyball partner and works at the heating supplier store with me. We had one really long rally caught on tape and I really want to see it because there were some strange and crazy plays that happened in a really short amount of time, maybe about 30 seconds only. The local contractor happened to be filming us on that game and he is going to edit it after working for the HVAC business today. I guess we should have some footage tomorrow, which I am a bit leary of sharing on social media because I told all of my friends and family that I quit playing the sport many months ago because of really bad injuries. Right now I am cooling down all my joints with cold gel and then plan on heating them up again with some hot water from the heating device in our kitchen. I will survive, but now I sound like the boy who cried wolf with my injuries.
