I just received my first Con Ed bill today and I grossly underestimated that thing. It's insane!! And then I sign on to Yahoo to check my mail and am greeted by this lovely NYT article about a spike in energy costs for households in the NY region. I'm actually in the apt maybe 40% of the time and sweat my butt off at night because I don't want to turn the AC on. I even go so far as to turn off the surge protector when it's not in use so the AC and cell phone charger don't pull electricity! Yeah, I have a couple other things I should unplug as well and never did because of the hassle of having to reset the clocks on them, but I might have to do that. Ugh, what if I can't afford to live on my own after all?
Holy Crap...
