I have a day at home tomorrow and though it's hot now, it is feeling marginally cooler and I'm finding myself more motivated to start cooking and do fall cleaning. The electric bill last month was through the ceiling compared to what is typical (though it used to be much higher with the old standard electric company that is the default in the area. We have the "power to choose" and lots of little companies offer lower prices. My high price with this company is double what I usually see this time of year.) The cooler it is, the more energy (and I wait for that first fall day that feels and smells just right - months away from now.)

A friend was ordering several copies of a book for himself (he uses them as gifts) and accidentally left my name in the "to" section since he sent me a book via this vendor recently. Three of the four have arrived, when the last one gets here they go in a box and are shipped to New York. At least books are cheap to ship so it isn't too expensive a mistake. That's one of the problems with auto fill or pre-filled forms on sites. Sometimes I think I'm emptying my house via the postal service with side trips to Goodwill.
