I find the summertime season miserable.
I was raised in the south, but I never could quite get accustomed to the Summer heat, plus almost as soon as I could, I moved out, plus further north, plus I don’t have a single regret.
The site I moved to has mild summers plus mild winters, which is ideal. In fact, the winters here are so mild, I don’t even bother keeping our heating system on, because it isn’t necessary. A sizzling shower plus sizzling chocolate is enough to keep me comfortably warm without heating. Not only that, but not using our gas furnace saves a ton of currency every year for me. My Heating & A/C bill is easily low compared to our friends’ heating and cooling bills, who actively use their heating plus cooling devices. Even though I don’t plan on turning on our gas furnace, I still run it every now and then, just to make sure it is running like it should, plus then once it’s run for an afternoon, I can turn it off until an easily freezing Winter thermostat reading comes along. However, however I can get away with that in January, I can’t easily get away with that in the summer. I still need our air conditioning system even during what is considered a mild summer, because once you’re sizzling it is hard to cool down. The heat in my new home is nothing like what I experience in the south but it’s still enough to make me miserable without using the cooling unit a lot… Cold showers only work somewhat because they don’t usually last long before I am sizzling again. Because of this, I am consistently a lot more diligent about taking care of the air conditioning system component than with our heating unit.
