Yes, the weather plays a major role in my life. If it is "nice" out - which means sunny and warm (approaching hot) I'm pleased and happy. In another case of wanting to document something important (this time not my boring health notes, though that will surely follow under a cut here, I'm making a case for the evils of always feeling cold and not being able to afford my electric/gas. Again I need to remind me that it's only been a year that I've lived all alone because for the 15 years prior I lived with Aunt Goldie (and family) - the key thing being that she paid the bills. Whatever I contributed to her was taken out of our joint bank account. I didn't care what it was used for or what we were paying for this or that. Before that, though I paid all my bills myself for some 10 plus years - things cost significantly less than now. My first gas/electric bill for here was for the months of March/April 2009. The bill for electric is always less than for gas - and for the first few months I carefully monitored the amounts. Seeing what I was paying per unit, I realized that gas was way more expensive - and went as far as not using my gas stove or oven. My hot water heater and the boiler that heats the baseboard heaters was it. The first few months my total bill averaged about $120. So that's what I based my budget calculation on. It was a ballpark figure to make sure I would have enough to pay for bills. As it is, my paychecks are still garnished - so I lose an immediate $150 to $200 off my net pay every paycheck. That's another thing I need to tackle as I've pretty ignored that and honestly should have protested it when it happened. But sadly I tend to ignore things hoping they'll go away which (time and time again I've learned) they don't. I'm hoping that by the time I hit 50 years of age (2 years and a few weeks from now) I will finally learn to take the bull by...
