It seems like so much of my time is wasted these mornings trying to find the motivation to complete my yearly tasks.
I consistently seem to arrive, at the end of the afternoon, with only half of my yearly chores done. I am a stay at home mom of four little ones and this means a constant pile of laundry, dishes, and dust need to be attended to each afternoon. However, since the beginning of Winter, I have found it harder and harder to get things done. At first, I thought it was because of getting older, after that we thought it was a type of illness. After all of that was ruled out, my spouse and I started looking into our home environment to see it there was something that was causing my exhaustion. The only thing that changed, along with the weather, was the fact that we now had to use the Heating, Ventilation and A/C system 24/7. My buddy and I contacted the Heating, Ventilation and A/C corporation to come check out the system, and my buddy and I wanted to make sure that it wasn’t leaking any toxic gases into the apartment that could be affecting our families health, and when they arrived, the first thing they did was check all the connection and make sure that there was not a trace of carbon monoxide. This is a deadly gas that can periodically go undetected and cause illness and death. The next thing they checked was the air duct. What they found there was absolutely spine-chilling. There were parts of the air duct that contained a couple of types of mold. It turns out that this was making me sick, however not sick enough to need medical attention. My buddy and I arranged to have them cleaned instantly and even had a secondary filter installed to prevent it happening again.
