2009_01_09 Friday

Yeah, it's Friday!!! Jonathan is still asleep (at 9:50). I had time to take a nice, long shower, get dressed (up, actually!), and even dabble with some make-up! Nothing special, just had the time and energy to spend on myself this morning. Now, what to do today!?!?!? We are going to pick up some Freecycle stuff and visit Omaha Steaks for sure.

I've got to duke it out with our gas/elect company over our rediculously high bill; this means I have to figure out where the gas line is and send them an 'official' reading, since they've been estimating our usage for as long as I know. I'm hoping that will make a serious impact in our bills.

I've also gotten two more plumbers on the horn to give us estimates on the den and to fix the radiators. One's en route now; the other should be by tomorrow AM. Picked up Dave's drycleaning (had to swing by the bank for that too), scored at Omaha Steaks, Freecycled, and cleaned out the entryway to the kitchen so that Wanderly can demo it and install a new back door on Tuesday. yeah. Jonathan ate and then napped; I like that better than the other way around. He woke up at about 5:30, so I bundled him up and we picked up Dave from the train station. It's a nice, brisk walk; good to get some fresh air.

I was floored that you could afford a BMW X6 lease for what your paying on your gas bill.

What will you do if they actually raise your invoice when you send in the real numbers?

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will actually be less. wishful thinking, I'm sure. But, Dave's been putting in lots of insulation in the attic so I'm hoping that will make a BIG difference.
