I still sort of can’t believe how this whole thing worked out.
Going into the pandemic, I wasn’t sure that I would come out the other side with my health in tact. Then there was the whole thing with the zone controlled HVAC of the office being off limits and having to work from home. Of course, that came with a pay cut and no bonuses for more than a year. So it was a real kick in the teeth sort of a time there at first. I just wasn’t so sure how I was going to get through all of that. But that’s what makes all of this so interesting. It’s now two and a half years later and I can say that the pandemic actually changed my life for the better. I was thankful to make it to getting vaccinated without getting Covid. And I attribute this to the fact that we stayed put inside the central air conditioning in our home. We simply followed the recommendations and it paid off. There were other surprises as well. At first, not being inside the zone controlled HVAC of the office was just too much. The online meetings were an aggravation. And I was trying to work from all over the house. Finally, my husband and I cleared out the guest room and made that a really nice home office. Believe it or not, that’s where I am today with one addition. I had the HVAC company install a ductless heat pump once I realized that this was going to be my permanent office space.
