This year I’ve been extremely conscientious of all of these regular patterns that my life seems to follow on an annual basis.
It’s become apparent that I make the same mistakes over and over again! Either I’m missing some important 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 conditioning usage. It came to mind that every year around this time, I come down with some kind of horrific sinus infection. I’ve regularly suspected that the respiratory distress was caused by too much air conditioning usage. Right around this time, the outdoor climate becomes absolutely sizzling and muggy. Air conditioning becomes absolutely inescapable, not only in the comfort of my own apartment but in every public space. You can’t go to a grocery store, office, or motion pictureplex separate from being blasted by high powered cooling systems, however personally, this indoor air is too frigid for my liking, and I know my sinuses feel the same about the overabundant AC. If you haven’t observed, air conditioning creates extremely dry indoor environments. I have to hypothesize that my mucus membranes don’t cherish 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 Heating and A/C system and take hold.Once the sinus infection starts, I observed that exposure to air conditioning 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 will not be making the same mistake. I will not be relying 100% on air conditioning.
