And the wind chills are below zero, with tomorrow even colder. -30 below, anyone? ::shivers:: It's supposed to get warmer by next week, nearly 50! Please please *please* let it be true!!!
I did go outside today when I realised that I needed to get the water bill paid. It's due Wednesday (I usually wait until the 14th before dropping it off) but I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get downtown in time, and believe me, the city has absolutely zero patience w/late pays--even though you are supposed to have an extra week to pay (and an added $10, of course), they will come and turn it off at 9:05 am on the 15th regardless, just so they can add the reconnect fee. It's weird because almost all of the other towns have a grace period of noon on the day a bill is due before they hit you w/the extra fees and stuff; hell, they don't even disconnect until after you miss the late payment date. But *no*, this rotten little town just has to be different. Ok, enough ranting. I am off to snooze.
