Isn’t it funny how some things become habits, even when you don’t realize the automatic programming that’s taken site in your brain? for instance, how often do you option up your cellphone & check for new notifications? If there are none, do you still open it & check your SMS inbox? When there is nothing there, do you open up Instagram & mindlessly scroll through about three times? Afterwards, do you turn off your cellphone screen like nothing ever happened? Rinse, repeat? Yeah, technology has definitely given us all some interesting new ticks, and recently, I noticed a new habit of my own when our indoor air temperature system failed.

Yeah, technology has definitely given us all some interesting new ticks, and recently, I noticed a new habit of my own when our indoor air temperature system failed. More particularally, our neighborhood lost power in a storm & my Heating & A/C system was electrocuted by lightning… The central heating & cooling system was definitely fried, & there was no option that it was going to turn on anytime soon! I knew I needed a professional heating & cooling specialist to come inspect my upset air handling equipment & let me know the prognosis, honestly, I figured that the air quality equipment was done. I was anxiously pacing around the house, Googling possible solutions for purchasing a new energy efficient heating & cooling equipment for the house, when I realized that I was doing something severely nonsensical… Even though I knew the central heating & cooling system was done for, I couldn’t stop myself from wandering past the control equipment every minute or two & touching a button so that the screen came on. I would read the high indoor air temperature, press the down button as if the air conditioning was going to work, & wait to hear cool air passing through the vents. Even without power, I couldn’t stop touching this control unit.
