the electricity bill has arrived...

I've been checking the SCE&G website at least 12 times a day since I saw the meter reader here. I mean, really, how long does it take to upload a few readings?

I checked again just now and saw numbers where there had previously been nothing. And guess what? Setting your thermostat on 62 (no, I'm not kidding) and running the gas logs nearly all day (but not at night) on these cold days works. Sure, it's a little nippy in the morning when we wake up, BUT my bill was just $22 more this month than last month even though we had much colder temperatures and a longer run of these very cold days than normal.

Guess what I'm doing to celebrate?

I'm living large and turning the thermostat up to 63!
