Gas bill . . .

this month was a whopping $220! Yikes. The utility company reads the meter every other month. So last month, my bill was $40. But after they came out & read the meter a few days ago, this was the rude surprise I got. Either my apartment was unoccupied all of last year or the tenant did not turn on the heat - the usage for the entire last year was ridiculously low which is why I get a low bill every other month (estimated reading). So I have ordered a space heater off of Amazon. This better not result in a big jump on my electric bill.

How lazy have I become? So lazy that the only thing I go to the stores to buy is groceries. Everything else I order online. The convenience of shopping with the click of a mouse has become addictive. I blame it on the cold weather. Speaking of which, the high today is 7F. Just lovely.

One year from today, a Democrat will be inaugurated into office! Who that will be is still up in the air. The more I listen to Hillary though, the more I dislike her. This began when she talked about the president needed to be someone who could handle a terrorist attack from jump just like the British PM had to when there was some terrorist activity in his country soon after he took office. Sounds like W.'s politics of terror to me. Scaring Americans into voting for her smacks of shadiness. But whatever. So long as it's not Mitt Romney taking that oath one year from today, may the best guy or gal win.
