"Hers is the bloom of youth. She's taken full advantage of the age she lives in--the age of modern, electrical servants that lighten household tasks. No wonder she looks younger than women to whom home-making is a daily round of drudgery!" (1940)

1961 seems to have had a very white Christmas.

PSA: Utilities Charge Whatever They Want

So like, if you're paycheck to paycheck, if you're having financial difficulties, pay close fucking attention to your utility bills...

Because look at this bullshit.

Guess what happened in the 61 day billing period for 9/28/2023 statement date?

I moved into my fucking house. And started running my stove/oven and then eventually my furnace.

Guess what wasn't being used in every previous billing date shown here...?

NATURAL GAS. Like literally (in the actual definition of literally) none of it. Almost had my dad going to check if there was a leak in the lines at one point over the summer because nothing was being used. But nope, it's just the gas company charging whatever the fuck they feel like, whether you've used anything or not.

CONCLUSION: Pay attention to your bills because what they do is charge you based on an estimate of what your neighbors are using, not what you actually use. If you're having financial issues, call up your utility company and tell them that you will be calling in a reading every month (because they only send a person out to do an actual reading every other month, or now, every few months with ours, and just charge you whatever they want otherwise, and adjust it later when they do an actual reading... you can see in my bill they owed me a ton of money, because $11.17 is lower than the base charge for even having the gas turned on). And at least in NYS (or my county anyway), you have the right to demand they bill you on your actual usage by calling in a reading yourself because they don't want to pay someone to go out and do it monthly (but you can be damn sure they're going to charge you monthly).

*Also note: the double-billing 61 days on top of already being billed for 35 days of presumable the same time-period, and yet still, completely nonsensical invoice when you click on it. Their numbers come out of their ass.

we have internet!! we switched isps and they did it in a fucing day. all this bc fucking NET couldn't get their shit together enough to figure out how to turn it back on

we did errands today and it's so fucking nice to be able to do all the errands (grocery, granel, farmer's stand, bakery) all on one city block and not need to fucking walk two kilometers to the only grocery store in the city that sells the butter i like

everything is just really nice here. the weather is perfect. the people are chill. the vibes are impeccable. you feel me?

in obra news, one window has screens yey (they're the same screens they used to have) the guy is coming saturday after next to install new screens for the other windows yeyyyy the wind is so nice i could cry, i don't know how a city lives without wind?

i'm still exhausted but sei lá it's just what it is baybeeeeee

i didn't get to play nearly any bg3 bc tasks and stress and sick and waking up at 5h and going to bed at 18h but here's some screenshots of my pretty liar-boy and his judgemental boyfriend anyway (featuring chest of the mundane my beloved srsly i love you so much chest of teh mundane)

So...I got a new electric kettle. There was a mind boggling array of choices online but my eyes immediately zoomed on to this one. However, now that it's out of the box, I'm fully realizing that I basically bought a Bucky Vibranium Arm Kettle.

IT EVEN HAS THE B FOR BUCKY.

(Okay, it technically stands for Beautiful which is the brand name but Bucky IS beautiful so let me just keep my headcanon.)

I will be making so many cups of ramen tea woohoo!!!
