So far I haven't had to run the AC, but it's getting warm at night. No likey. The bedroom ceiling fan has been sufficient, for now...
Okay, Vent!
Dang it!
All of a sudden it hit the mid 80's here in the middle of the desert... we had freezes over night just a week or so ago, dang it!!!
I FINALLY gave in this afternoon and turned on the AC, DANG IT !!!
Do they do estimated bills in between meter readings?I live in an all electric condo. Southern California. I can't figure for the life of me how my last 3 bills were $215 and now these last two months are $55. I'm not doubting the electric meter or me heating up my condo in the morning during these last chilly
4 months, but wow, $210 to $55? These high electrical costs happened last year too. I didn't run up electricity baking every night. It just seems inordinate.

Nuclear fusion will mean endless cheap unlimited power.
mmmm, endless cheap unlimited power.
Not sure. What a radical jump tho. $225 for 4 months, then now $55. The overnight temps were a little low, and I cranked up the heat in the morning. I think that's where they really hit me. It's a tier system or something. They jump me up in electrical costs during certain months each year, even tho I maintain a pretty steady electrical usage, with the exception of cranking on the HVAC heater in the mornings a bit more, heh. Bingo!
Lost my glasses so I went to the eye Dr to order some new ones. Just happens that my prescription is up this month. They squeezed me in right away. My contact prescription did not change but I officially have bifocal lenses in my glasses now. They cost an extra $400. Oh but the good news is because I don't have vision insurance if I bought another pair of frames I get another set of lenses free. So I picked out a cheap pair of frames and got prescription sun glasses. By cheap I mean $145 because all the others were near 200 bucks.
I get my eyes examined by my eye doctor every year. But I order all my frames on line. My doctor will not give you a copy of the script until you have the frames in hand. Then by law he has to give you the script if you ask for it.
When you see the prices on line for the frames and compare them to what your doctor charges, you realize the BIG difference and saving in price.
Addie, at the time of your examination, your doctor is required by law to hand you your prescription with no strings attached. All you have to do is ask for it at the time.

That's how it is back at our OH doctors' office. I started going to the dad back in 1970. His sons took over when he semi-retired. I still stop at the office when we're in visiting the kids - they sell contact lens solution kits (wetting and cleaning solutions, lens case, half-dozen enzyme cleaners) for the same price one bottle of solution costs in a store. The office manager is still from back then, and so are the lens technician and frame guy. I love that kind of service! Just another reason to get back home...I've been seeing my optometrist since 1994, and he's had the same technicians - one does the testing and the other the fitting and adjusting - since then...
