Winter freaks me out

If I am being fair with you, I can be a bit of a chicken.

Sometimes I get really nervous or paranoid about things in life.

My fear makes me act irrationally. I can be neurotic and distraught when I let my mind overpower me. This is one of the things that I struggle with living alone in my little home. I love living alone – there’s no one to tiptoe around, or worry about alarming. I can count on the house being clean when I return home and generally think less stress being on my own. What scares me is winter. Winters here are brutal! It’s below freezing every day, with never ending snowfall and copious amounts of ice. This means worrying about indoor heating and cooling systems. You don’t want your forced air acting up . You also don’t want to have your heater fail in a blizzard, when repair workers can’t get to your home. You never want to be alone if there’s ever a heating failure – or else you have even less heat to comfort you. This is my greatest fear each year as the freezing season approaches. That’s when I remind myself not to be fearful – just to be proactive. I call our local heating and cooling tech and they make sure our furnace is in great shape before the first snowflake falls. Thank god for our trustworthy heating supplier – then I’d have to live in the South!
