Money, so they say, is the root of all evil today
I've mentioned before the marked efforts of people to give me money. Largely, this was money I was supposed to receive but had simply forgotten about. That said, yesterday I got yet another check in the mail. This time it was from the garbage company that I haven't used in almost two years. I have no clue why they sent me money. I'm telling you, it's like God looked around and thought, "E needs some money." Then he pointed to the trash company and said, "You there - Send E a check."In other news, it seems the natural gas company has reevaluated my usage and decided to lower my monthly budget plan payment to $24. For every degree I lower my thermostat, I save money. It's quite nice to see this reflected in my bill. And yes, I recognize that a warmer than normal winter had some effect on my usage, but whatever, my bill went down $9 a month.
