There was no A/C back home
I was recently waiting for a flight at the local international airport.
It was going to be a short one: just a two-hour flight to hop a few states over.
I was going to a big conference for my company. It’s an annual conference that I’ve come to enjoy, simply because it means about 4 days of traveling and generally relaxing at a hotel. Sure, there are meetings and seminars to go to, but it breaks up the workflow, and is honestly quite a stressless time for us. We care far more about the local attractions and restaurants, which we often find time for despite the meeting schedules that we have to adhere to. There was another reason why I was happy that the conference finally came this year. My home recently lost use of its HVAC system. I do not have the money to fix it right now, so I spent the last few nights sweating in bed trying to sleep as best as I could. Of course, I used as many fans as I could fit around my bed, but it’s not quite the same as having an air conditioner. Anyway, at the airport terminal, it felt so breezy and cool. It was making me sleepy as I was waiting for my flight. I had to fight to keep my eyes open. When I eventually boarded my flight, it was actually quite cool and comfortable in the airplane as well! Maybe the terminal and the plane just felt like being spoiled after spending the past few nights at my hot house!
