4. Not soon enough. My electric bills are unbelievable.
This months was almost $190.00 and that includes the seven days we were without electricity sleeping in the front yard do to Rita. The worst day it reached 110° and I don't know what the heat index was that day. Both August and September bills were almost $270.00.

7. Ouch!
Man, I live in a 700 square foot apartment and the worst bill I've gotten so far is $148 (including water, trash and sewage). That was middle of August to middle of September.

$148 is outrageous for me, I guess that's what I get living on the 3rd floor. At least in the winter I can keep my heat way down. I'd rather be cold than hot any day.

I live in a 2200 sq foot stand alone. That does not include anything.
But my horse is a lot happier than she would be on the third floor.:evilfrown:

3. Beats that 107 from a few weeks ago
Moving during those 100+ days actually landed me in the hospital with a potassium deficiency! Come on Autumn!

6. This morning in New York
it was the first really cold morning at about 50 degrees. Summer's long gone for us. The leaves are turning colors and everything.

I woke up under a quilt, then got into my fleece bathrobe and scurried to the bathroom. After I got out of the shower and I turned the water off it was so freaking cold that I used two giant towels and swaddled myself until I was warm enough to go back to the bedroom. Got dressed fast... real fast.

This sort of business is why I'm moving to Texas shortly. I can't believe it's still in the 80s/90s there. After a lifetime of freezing my butt of, I'm ready to be warm!

8. I know, I know
I can't believe it's been so hot for so long this year. (It's still not as bad as the summer of 98, in my opinion.)

But then I do remember many Halloweens as a kid where it was still warm at night. That dog costume made from a sweatshirt and sweatpants was quite warm.

11. 1300 Sq. foot house = $250 electric bill
I noted that my bill conveniently listed the average temperature for September at 97 degrees, compared to last year's average of 82.

This is a freakishly hot summer.

12. It was 97 on my car thermometer when I left work this evening.
Man, I am ready for some fall weather.
