My sister and I live about five houses from one another.
And it’s been so amazing.
She came to this area to look for a house when she got tired of the city life. We are in a rural area, but it’s not too remote. So, you can still get to the city in 45 minutes or so. My sister wanted to buy a house, and for sure, I was there to help her with the search. I think my kids were more happy to have her close. I am a single mom of 4, and they love their aunt because well, she spoils them rotten. My sister works from home so it’s been so amazing having her around to help babysit. I try not to take advantage of her, but I know she doesn’t mind at all. At times she even comes, picks the kids, and I will learn about that later. Anyway, on this one day, she dropped by to take them for ice cream and found me dealing with a HVAC issue. The air conditioner was making an odd noise that was distressing since it was summer. No one wanted to be in a house without air conditioning when it was 95F outside. My sister told me to just call the HVAC business and have them come to inspect the faulty cooling unit. I know one HVAC business that does same-day repairs, so I gave them a call. As I was waiting for the HVAC technician to arrive, my sister and my kids left to go enjoy ice cream. I was promised some, but I had to stay back to get the odd air conditioner noise sorted out.
