This year I have been seriously conscientious of all of these common patterns that my life seems to follow on an annual basis.
It’s become obvious that I make the same mistakes over and over again, then either I’m missing some pressing lessons from the universe or I’m just plain dense.
That’s why I’m paying a lot of attention right now to my central air conditioner usage. It came to mind that every year around this time, I come down with some kind of horrific sinus infection. I have consistently suspected that the respiratory distress was caused by too much air conditioner usage. Right around this time, the outdoor weather conditions becomes undoubtedly warm and muggy. Air conditioning becomes easily inescapable, not only in the comfort of my own condo but in every public space. You can’t go to a grocery store, office, or Dipson Theater without being blasted by high powered cooling systems, then personally, this indoor air is too freezing for my liking, and I assume my sinuses feel the same about the overabundant AC. If you haven’t noticed, air conditioner creates seriously dry indoor environments. I have to hypothesize that my mucus membranes do not care about this cold, dry sensation after 24 hours of constant exposure. They become susceptible to infection, and eventually an airborne bacteria or virus will ride the waves of my HVAC system and take hold.Once the sinus infection starts, I noticed that exposure to air conditioner makes everything much worse. As soon as I go outside and experience fresh, humid air, my airways clear up in my congestion lessens. This year, I won’t be making the same mistake. I won’t be relying 100% on air conditioner.
