Winter for me is the worst period of the year because I hate being cold.
Every time winter arrives, I suffer greatly from the flu and spend a lot of the time housebound without being able to go out into the icy streets.
I live in the north where winter is very harsh. I wish I could hibernate like a bear, but unfortunately, I have groceries to buy, people to meet and places to go. No matter how many clothes I wear, I still can’t seem to be able to escape the cold. This year, I´ve decided that I´m going to buy a heater. It will cost me an arm and a leg though, as I have no idea why I didn’t buy a house with central heating. I would also like the floor to be heated so that I can do my yoga exercises without having to put up with the cold floor. I called the HVAC technician and he said he will be here the following week. At last, I will be able to celebrate Christmas nice and warm and have my family around for dinner without having them shivering while they try to eat. I will also install a ground source heat pump. It works the same as an air conditioning unit and they are more efficient than gas boilers. I´ve made a deal with a very reputable HVAC provider that was recommended to me by a close friend. Maybe this will be the first winter I will be happy in the warmth of my own house watching the snowfall from my window feeling grateful that I have the luxury of a heater!
