No heat and toasty warm
All my friends think I’m crazy. When my central air unit shut down before Thanksgiving, I elected not to replace it. I saved myself $5,000 and I’m still saving.
My utility bills this month totaled $52.47. A year ago the gas and heat bills totaled $350. Now who’s laughing at me? (Incidentally, the cooling part is working just fine.)
I can’t say that I’ve been uncomfortable. I have a small heater in my bathroom which I turn on a few minutes before taking a bath and I bought an lap-sized electric blanket which keeps Lucky Dawg from shaking to death.
Life before iPad
One of my favorite Christmas presents is something I never aspired to own – an iPad! Now I don’t know how I lived without one. I sleep with it and wish I had a chain so I could wear it around my neck!
Christmas hang-overs
I wish I could say my computer has been down, but to be honest I got a brand new one from one son, and an IPad from another.
Since my learning curve grows wider every day, I’m having technical difficulties learning the new systems.
Plus I have my big new hi-def television set to occupy almost every waking minute. Braddock loaded it with every movie ever made.
Caught cheating on my plumber
There is nothing still in working order in my home. The central heat went out last month – good riddance. I no longer have to worry about hot flashes.
This morning after I got out of my bath, I heard gurgling in my kitchen sink – clear across the house.
