The holidays aren’t for another six months but I always get excited.
I look forward to decorating my house and having a tree with holiday lights everywhere. I recently went to the store and purchased a good few hundred dollars worth of new decorations. The decorations were on sale and I couldn’t resist. The decorations that I did have were old and were handed down to me from my mom. She used them to decorate our house when I was a kid. Therefore I thought that it was time to retire those old decorations and purchase myself some new ones. My husband thought I was crazy since the holidays aren’t coming up anytime soon. But I told him I would rather pay half the price for the decorations now then pay full price later. Since it is still summer there are other things around the house that I have to prep for. It’s the beginning of summer and I have to start prepping my house before my HVAC technician comes to inspect and clean the HVAC system. What I like to do before he comes to my house is write down anything that has changed with the house. I write down if we put in new windows, an addition on the house, or any drastic change. This is because this will affect the heating and cooling load of the system that my technician calculated. I like to go around and check the duct system in my basement to make sure the seals look tight. Then I clear everything around my HVAC system so it’s easier for my technician to work in.
