Did anyone notice that it got colder outside?
We milked the weather for as long as possible. Now the potted plants have new homes inside and the heat is on.
And once again I'm worried about our utility bill. Heating was the reason the previous owner had such outrageous bills, which subsequently drove up our utility deposit.
Until that dastardly bill makes it to our mailbox, I'm wrapping up all the winterizing tips I can think of. Namely, I've checked the windows for drafts and I've reversed our ceilings fans to pull air up rather than blow it down. I'm sure there are plenty of other things I should do, but I will wait until my HVAC dad visits again.
In the meantime I leave the oven door open after cooking, I open the blinds to get the greenhouse effects at sunrise and sunset and I keep the heat down and the clothes up.
P.S. I overheard a group of adults bashing recycling at the App State football game yesterday. Even if you don't think global warming is mankind's fault, there is no reason to be ignorantly wasteful. That includes energy usage and recyclables. Why throw something in a huge pile no one wants to live near when you can use it again to make something else? I'm going to wrap it up now because I'm getting riled up again.
