I have no idea what it is about my core group of friends and I, however I swear we’re connected by the same cosmic energy.
If one person feels severely low and unmotivated, it’s guaranteed that we’re all feeling that way.
If one member has a legitimately good week, my friend and I all feel like we’re walking on air. Unfortunately, if one of us is struck with bad luck, it’s almost a no-brainer that we’re all going to experience the same misfortune. That’s why I legitimately shouldn’t have been surprised last month, when one by one my friend and I all reported having a slight change on the same general problem; our HVAC systems. It started when my neighbor Alicia told me that her entire furnace wouldn’t turn on one afternoon because their heat had still not switched over. She was chilly, but they made it through the mild winter nights. Next, my good neighbor in Kentucky told me that her car’s heating system stopped laboring one afternoon, so she had to drive to labor blind in the chilly outdoor air. It was maybe two nights before our good pal Beau begrudgingly told us that his own radiator had malfunctioned at his apartment. He was without heat during a cold snap of midwest winter, and had to set up a dozen space boilers to keep his cats alive that weekend. Well, it should have come at truly no surprise to me when I woke up the other afternoon and my whole home was chilly cold. I could see my breath as I exclaimed loud dissatisfaction. Sure enough, when I walked down the hall to the control unit, the central furnace had powered off at least 12 hours before.
