Today I set up the air conditioner in the living room. Yes, you read that right, the A/C. Why? And, why didn't I think of this before?

Every fall when the temperature drops down to a comfortable level, we clean the A/C unit and pack it away for the winter. It's a portable unit, on wheels, that vents out through a window. It has multiple functions; cooling, heating, dehumidifying, and fan. It also has an ultraviolet function to kill germs in the air.

So, why not leave it set up year round? I suppose we could since it's also a heater (heat
pump). I just never thought much about it. That is, until today when I noticed it tucked in beside the dryer. I pulled it out and set it up in the living room as just a fan, turned on the ultraviolet light function, and started cleaning the air.

I don't know if it will speed up our recovery, or if it had been running sooner, prevented our getting sick, but after about an hour the air smells cleaner and fresher!

About The Author
My writing doesn't follow any set genre, it's interdependent of my mood and all that's taking place in life. I'm still finding myself, what I write constitutes the markers along the path of that journey. With time, many things will manifest in my work and perhaps I will pursue one or two genres. For now, it's not, "What type of writing is my passion?" "Writing is my passion."
