Periodically, the only way I can see my family is if I drive three hours north to visit them in their home.
I moved to a completely new section after graduating school in order to take a new task, so it makes sense that I spend more time visiting my family than my family visiting me.
Most of my family still lives in this area, so I enjoy coming up to see all the people when I have the time to do it. Three hours isn’t a long drive, even though I still hesitate to come visit whenever I get the chance. It’s not that I don’t enjoy seeing all the people, because I do; Unluckyly, the only place I can stay when I’m in neighborhood is at my parent’s condo as well as while that’s fine, their guest living room is a eveningmare. There is one air vent situated on the floor beside the bed, as well as it is powerful. When the heat is running, the guest living room overheats as well as the only way to cool the space is by opening a window. The overhead fan works, but it only pushes the sizzling air around. When the boiler is running as well as I’m staying in the guest living room, it feels like I’m suffocating in a boiler. I wish I could say that it was more comfortable during the summer time months, but it’s not. When the A/C is running, the guest living room turns into an icebox… No matter how many blankets I pile on top of the bed, that guest living room feels like I’m sleeping in an igloo. It’s shocking how extreme the temperatures get in that guest living room when there is a single air vent.
