My mom never ever turns off her air conditioner.
That thing runs 24/7 365 days a year.
The only time it is ever off is twice a year when she has her air conditioner maintenance done. Otherwise, the air conditioner is blasting away and keeping her cool all of the time. I can’t say that I blame my mom. She worked over 40 years as a landscaper for a very busy company. This meant 10-12 hour days of cutting lawns, trimming trees, and stuff like that. This far south, it is almost always hot. So, now that my mom is retired, she swore she would never let herself get hot again. Thllkll k k k n k at is why it was such a shame when her air conditioner broke down suddenly in the middle of August. My mom called me up in a panic and said that it was hot in her house and getting hotter. There didn’t seem to be anything wrong with the thermostat but the air conditioner simply wouldn’t kick on. I did what any son would do, I told her to call up her trusty air conditioning provider. Of course, she had already done that and they were already on their way. She just wanted to complain to me I guess. Her birthday is coming up and I have been wondering what to get her. I think I will get her a portable air conditioner for emergencies such as this one. True, this hasn’t happened before, but I bet she would like a portable air conditioner anyway. She could always use it in front of the couch to stay extra cool.
