A regular heat pump heat exchanger is probably the size of a half-sized file cabinet. Our furnace is finally finished and I went outside to see what our new heat exchanger looks like. Holy hell, it’s like the size of a refrigerator. OK, not as tall, so it’s like a refrigerator without the freezer. I stood in front of it and was pleasantly surprised to feel cold air blowing out of it, like it’s supposed to do. It moves the cold air outside and the hot air inside, at least now that it’s winter time.

I’ve been hungrier than usual lately, but I’ve still tried not to be the pig that I used to be. I’m failing right now, but earlier today I walked by a box of doughnuts repeatedly. I’d look in at the chocolate glazed doughnut and keep going back to my cube. Back and forth. I made five or six trips before work intruded on my little fantasy and I had to quit my shenanigans. The doughnuts were from Safeway or Albertson’s so I think THMFIC at the gym is right: I need better fantasies.
