My mother lives about 45 minutes from me.
She lives in the next town over and she prefers her town because it’s a quiet small town where everybody knows each other.
Me, on the other hand, I prefer to live in a larger city, where I have access to entertainment. My mom comes to visit me a lot, but deep down, she prefers it when I drive over to see her. A few weeks ago, I took Friday off so that I could spend a long weekend with my mom. I told her I would be in town for the weekend, but she expected me on Saturday morning, so you can only imagine how excited she was, when I showed up on Friday morning instead. When I pulled up to her house, there was a HVAC work truck outside. Apparently, my mom’s A/C had broken down the night before. Luckily, she was able to get an appointment the very next day. I guess that is a perk of living in a small town, there is no wait or backlog for service calls. When my HVAC unit broke a few weeks ago, I had to wait a couple of days for it to get fixed. Thankfully, I have a ceiling fan in my bedroom because that made it easier for me to sleep on those 2 nights. Well, the HVAC guy was there for about an hour while I was there, and he was able to get the unit back up and running with no real issues. I was happy to know that I would have air conditioning for the weekend.
