It is barely August, and yet I saw Halloween candy in our local grocery store.
At first, I thought maybe it was old inventory that was on sale, but nope, I was wrong.
Halloween is a holiday that should be held when it is cooler outside. No one should be thinking about Halloween candy when it is still in the upper eighties during the day. All I can think about is the air conditioning that was waiting for me when I got home. My daughter wanted to spend some time looking at the Halloween costumes. I just wanted to get my groceries and head home. I was hoping my ice cream didn’t melt on the way from the store to the car, or from the car to the house. I knew I had the air conditioning on at home and I wanted to get there as quickly as possible. I was anxious to get there for the safety of my groceries and for our comfort. I quickly got our groceries into the refrigerator and freezer, only to hear my daughter complaining about how hot it was in the house. I was so worried about the groceries that I didn’t even take notice that the air conditioning wasn’t working. I hit the thermostat, but nothing was happening. I put in a phone call to the HVAC company and I told my daughter we were going back to the store. She wanted to know if we were going to look at the Halloween costumes and buy some candy? I told her yes, knowing we were going to enjoy their air conditioning while waiting three hours for our AC service technician to tell us he was on the way to our house..
