Another Frigid Monday

Yet another frigid week ahead.  Grateful the old furnace is still running.  Grateful too for blankets to cover us while we watch TV at night.  Thermostat is set at 67 in living room while family room is actually cooler by a degree or two.

What's on my mind is the gas bill.  The last one was over $150 and I expect the next will be higher still.  We have not opted for the flat monthly rate.  Our offset is the electric bill in the summer when the air conditioning runs to keep us at 72 degrees.

As far as budgeting a flat monthly rate would make things easier.  That is until the adjustment month comes along.  Then it becomes an unknown as far as budgeting.  The one sure thing is it won't be less per month. 

Stay warm and safe.  Like my mother-in-law would say "This too shall pass."

'til later
