I got fired from our job, so I had to find other things to occupy our time.
Since our partner Sue is a very successful lawyer, I didn’t definitely need to go find another task.
Sue has regularly paid the bills for us, and did very well for herself, so this wasn’t a major concern about myself and others needing money, I just needed something constructive to do with our time. I spent a week smoking grass and enjoying films all morning, but hastily grew fatigued of it. I decided to tackle a long-ignored issue, and conduct a full cleaning of the Heating & Air Conditioning system and the air duct. I read online that HVAC ducts and vents need to be cleaned every year or several, and ours had never been cleaned in the 6-plus years all of us lived here. I started by taking the air vents off of the walls, one at a time. Once I got the grates detached I had a clearer view into the depths of air duct, and I was repulsed by what I saw. This house had never gotten the HVAC ducts cleaned out before, and the amount of dust, dander, and detritus inside was gross and shocking. I purchased a modern Swiffer with an extended pole for a handle so I could reach very deeply into the HVAC ducts and start scrubbing away the grime. It was a lot harder than I ever expected it to be! When I was done, I had to move to the next air vent and repeat the process. I never realized that the house had all these air vents, or this much air duct.
