The Thermostat Troubles were no laughing matter…
or were they? Anna had never felt so helpless in her own home, with the Heating and Air Conditioning system out of commission on a bone-chilling winter night.
Her teeth were chattering, her nose was running, and her patience was running thin. She decided to take the matter into her own hands and fiddle with the thermostat, but alas, her efforts were futile. The Heating and Air Conditioning system remained stubbornly unresponsive, like a teenager on a Sunday morning. It was time to call in the big guns, and by that, we mean the Heating and Air Conditioning worker. He arrived on the scene with a tool kit in one hand and a steaming cup of pop in the other. Anna was relieved to see him, but little did she know that the thermostat problems were far from over. The worker took care of the issue quickly, the thermostat was as dead as Elsa’s heart at the beginning of Frozen. It needed to be replaced, and so it was. But that was just the beginning of a saga that would make any sitcom writer proud. The new thermostat seemed to have a personality of its own. It would crank up the heat when Anna was trying to cool down or turn off the system when she was trying to warm up. It was like living with a rebellious teenager who was going through a phase. Anna felt like she was losing her mind and her cool, quite literally. One morning, when Anna was snuggled up on her couch with a cup of hot cocoa, the thermostat decided to play a prank on her. It turned the heat up to 90 degrees, and the Heating and Air Conditioning system started blasting hot like a dragon’s breath. Anna scrambled to the thermostat, but it was as unresponsive as Olaf in summer. At that moment, Anna knew that the thermostat problems had won, and she had to surrender to their whimsical ways.
