Apparently people are running out of things to do during this quarantine.
It seems like folks were getting bored a few months ago and came up with creative solutions to keep themselves entertained.
Since then, it looks like most of us have given up on taking on new projects. People are ready to get outdoors and throw caution to the wind. Meanwhile, my grandma continues to come up with more and more household projects for herself. She has already wallpapered several rooms, replaced the brick in her driveway, and cleaned her gutters several times. Most recently, she decided that it would be beneficial to have her heating and cooling system completely renovated. Don’t get me wrong, there was nothing wrong with her old air conditioning unit or forced air furnace. She had no problem with her relatively new thermostat which was programmable and easy to modify. She didn’t have any issues with her energy bill or concerns about her overall air quality. Point blank, my grandma got bored and decided to hire a professional heating and cooling company to upgrade her central HVAC system and pass the time. By having HVAC technicians coming in and out of her house all day she was not going to feel lonely. By learning about her new heating and cooling devices she didn’t have to feel bored. By installing a new smart thermostat she had an excuse to play with her phone for several hours each day. All of her boredom materialized in a brand new set of air quality control devices that she absolutely doesn’t appreciate. I hope she’s happy with her new HVAC system; this pandemic doesn’t seem to be ending any time soon.
