Power Corrupts

[feng_shui_house]

My last electric bill with Ken here all the time was $283.66 of which he generously paid half --$162.
The bill after that, where he'd been sleeping at the hotel for a few days was $277 (of which he paid none.)
This month's bill, which included 5 days he'd been here, was $123. (And yes, it's been just as hot.)
He had the nerve to wonder how I'd pay the utility bills without him here. Well, judging from this, I'm going to be spending $50 a month less just on the power bill.

Also, the Window co. woman called (at 6:30pm) to put off Alex's visit till Friday. I'm getting fairly cheesed off here.

It's been hot for so long I've forgot what cool feels like, so I do run ONE A/C, the one in my computer room.

Ken'd go around turning them on in other rooms besides his own. Also he has a little fridge to keep his beer cool. And the big screen TV. And his computer. And he was big on laundry- he'd wash three times a week.

Well no wonder. You'll be saving lots of money when he leaves then.

*nods* He also liked to run a stupid little pump to drain the swimming pool every time it rained. I kept telling him not to do it- I'd rather leave it alone until it can be fixed- it's not smelly, and the tadpoles keep it from being a mosquito breeding pond. He'd run it for DAYS and tell me, oh, it doesn't use much electricity.

It was sad, the poor tadpoles got sucked up before they could become frogs. You'd like frogs, Anna. You pat them and they jump.

They jump? That sounds like fun! *meows excitedly*

They're great fun! They jump and they make noises and they climb walls!

*MEOW* Then bad ken brother should not have sucked them up. Maybe he didn't know they are so much fun?

Ken doesn't think like a cat. But there are froglets now! One of them was walking on the wall. So pretty and tiny, gold-green and shiny with lovely round toes.
