CONGRATS on the new laptop. With as much work as you do on the thing you could probably take a tax deduction on it!

At night I set the thermostat to come on only when it gets below 64 in the house. Other than that, blankets work just fine! During the summer, the temperature indoors stays at about 78… not 68 like most of my neighbors whose electric bills have been as high as $600.00 in one month!

One good thing about having a rock house with 9 inches of rock between the inside and outside is that when it’s cool inside, it’s stays cool. And in the winter when it’s warmer inside, it stays warm. No constant temperature fluctuation. We are at a disadvantage having these old original wood-frame windows with the weight and pulley system, but I will suck up the additional cost of any air leaks because of the look and charm of the old house. New aluminum windows just wouldn’t be the same and storm windows would also detract from the look.

I bought energy efficient light bulbs and went to average billing on the electric bill. I don’t drive nearly as much - I put in 14 gallons and it cost me $43! I was mad. haha

Congrats on the new laptop! I’m jealous. I want a new computer SO bad. haha
