I am a single gal in her mid twenties, I live down south and I work from home… My brothers are there and I see them fairly often; In the summer time I make the trek up north to stay with my parents. I get to see them for 2-3 months and my work isn’t affected. I just need to set up a workstation and I am good, recently I have gotten smart about leaving my house. I used to just turn off the Heating and Air Conditioning, let my plants die and figure I was coming current home to a mess, however now I have everything all set up. I purchased pods that store water and slowly water my plants overtime. I also have my brothers grab my mail once a week. I then purchased myself a smart thermostat. I don’t need to turn off the Heating and Air Conditioning completely anymore and come current home to mold. In the summer time I only need to worry about AC to prevent moisture in the house, so I set the cooling function reasonably and leave, and while in the north I check my current home temperature and thermostat settings in the current home each afternoon. Occasionally I make minor adjustments and sometimes not. What is super great is the thermostat even alerts me about humidity swings in the house. So I don’t even need to watch as carefully as I am! The thermostat also texts me about energy savings, air filter swings and any movement in the house. It has made everything so much easier and more wonderful when I go to the north. I no longer freak out about leaving the current home and coming current home to a disaster.
