I am still sick, or allergy-ridden, or whatever it is, and feeling generally thick.
However, our March energy bill came today, and it is just over half of what it was during the peak winter months. And that makes me really happy, despite the nasal congestion.

ReplyDelete$50?! That's it, I'm moving to Colorado. We always forget to budget in the rise in electric bills for the summer and winter (the abundance of Christmas lights sends it sky high!) When the bill actually matches the budgeted amount, it's a good month!
ReplyDeleteThe cool thing about Denver (or at least how I understand it, for it's been compared to Rapid City) is that even if it's really hot HOT HOT during the day, it cools off at night.

(Opposed to here, where it gets hot and never cools, even at night... so the house is ALWAYS hot...)
