Mom & dad have planned a trip to go & see my Grandparents over the Holidays.
I am looking forward to seeing them but wish that they were coming here instead.
I dread going to their apartment because it is always sweltering hot. I never want to say anything because I don’t want to make them unhappy but they keep their home & nearly eighty degrees. You head in from minus thirty & feel like you stepped into a sauna. I can’t sleep at evening because it is so warm & I have even been known to open my window to let in the frosty air; The one time when my mom came into my room while my associate and I were going to see & realize that I opened the window she was miserable with me because I was wasting energy but then she realized that I may have needed the frosty air just to feel comfortable, but she tried to explain to me that as you get older your overall temperature swings & more than 2 older people need the extra warm in the winter season to not feel achy. I’m sure I will understand this more as an adult but for now I just wish with a would come & see us instead & my associate and I could just keep their room warmer; My buddy and I even bought a separate Heating, Ventilation & A/C equipment for the guest room for just this purpose & the rest of us remain comfortable while they can keep warm too. The mini split equipment in that room can heat or cool it to whatever temperature they want & is even controlled by a remote. I hope next year they come to us instead.
