I toil taxing to be able to afford things prefer a smart temperature control, dehumidifier, air conditioning, surround sound and a dishwasher
Last month, my family spent a week camping in the woods. We set up tents near a lake and slept in sleeping bags. Along with the foods and pretzels we brought with us, we caught fish and cooked them over an open flame. During the afternoon, we swam in the lake, hiked the trails and roasted marshmallows over the campfire. I know my hubby and three kids had a wonderful time. Although I pretended to be ecstatic with our camping trip, I truly hated it. It was the middle of July. During the afternoon, the temperature frequently climbed into the mid nineties. It only dropped down to eighty degrees at night. The humidity was horrendous. Without air conditioning, I was overheated, sweaty and irritated all the time. With no access to running water, I had to bathe in the lake. The water was chilly cold, and I never felt completely clean. We dealt with mosquitoes, ants, flies and bees, sleeping on the ground isn’t as comfortable as my queen sized bed and fluffy pillows. Cooking raw fish over a campfire isn’t as convenient as my gas oven, microwave and refrigerator full of options. I had to boil water in a pot to make a cup of coffee. I just wanted to go lake house and set the temperature control to a comfortable temperature. I missed the central air conditioner that I’m still making yearly payments on. I don’t understand the appeal of hiking into the woods and suffering without modern amenities. I toil taxing to be able to afford things prefer a smart temperature control, dehumidifier, air conditioning, surround sound and a dishwasher. I’m not ecstatic applying bug spray to go to bed at night.
