This afternoon I also got my first PG&E bill for this apartment, and it was a pleasant surprise, being much lower than I'd expected it to be. That means I can afford to turn the furnace up a bit, and maybe turn on the gas fake fireplace now and then, which might make this empty room look a bit more inviting. It turns out to be much cheaper to heat this place than the house in Paradise used to cost.
However, I'm suspecting that the situation might be different come summer. In the mountains I could cool the house by opening all the windows at night and turning on the HVAC fan, but this place has few windows, and its southern side is fronted by about a hundred foot of asphalt parking lots, plus it has a flat roof with no shade falling on it. What I'm saving on winter heat I might end up spending on summer cooling.
Other news today was that the flipper/landlords have sold this place, and the new landlord will be taking over next month. My rent will be unchanged since I have a one-year lease, and the trash collection bill will now be paid by the landlord. I don't know why the flipperlords didn't have it set up that way, as it's terribly impractical to have trash collection thus dispersed in a multiple dwelling. But it's fixed now, which means my only monthly bills will be for rent, PG&E, and my T-Mobile telephone an d Internet service, which is down to $57 since the automatic payment discount has kicked in along with the
There will have to be one more monthly bill eventually, as I really need to find a chiropractor to look after my wonky vertebrae, but once my deductible is paid each year
Now to find a real computer. This laptop is giving me the fantods.
