Electrical shock
This morning I woke up shivering. I turned on out local traffic and weather channel to find out it is 59 degrees out (chilly). Great. The a/c is off and now we have to keep the windows closed . My electricity bill arrived yesterday covering the last two months when it was about 100 degrees (super hot) for a few weeks . We managed to use over 4600 kilowatts (a personal record) which cost us more than $1000.00 (a lot of money). We are on a budget plan with our utility company so my electric bill will go from around $300.00 per month to 670.00 per month until we are caught up. I guess we will be walking around in the dark for a while. It stopped raining yesterday for a while but there is more rain coming as Ernesto heads north. I detest hurricane season. I feel compelled to watch the news more and the fearmongers on CNN really get to me. I suppose it is good on some level to remain informed, especially with Sonnyboy being so electrically dependent, but I get all riled up. In turn I guess I rile everyone else up. Oh well! Hubby was using the laptop right before me and left a window open that has a graphic of lightening striking on the upper left corner of my screen. Seems apropos.

Blimey, that's one big bill. Hope you don't get any power outages.
We've been gouged this summer too - had to keep the A/C running all the time. I think we may catch a break tonight; it is only in the 70s!! We are catching the back end of hurricane Jonathan so we have been getting some much needed rain as well as seeing a drop in the temps.
