Monday again

Well I get to majorly clean today of course since it is Monday around here. I started picking up after my Hubby left yesterday. The list means squat at this point in time that I need to make of course. I will be lost for a bit but I am seeing alot that needs to be done includeing the rest of the laundery that I diden't get to over the weekend. After my Dear Husband waited untill the last minute to bring his laundery home I had no choice to use the dryer for the last load. So now since it is going to be a good day I need to get out at least 2 more loads out on the lines and go from there on that part of the housework. Then I will have plenty of hot water for the dishes after the 2 loads of laundery. Also with being alone for the next 5 days around here I will get more done as normal without anyone under foot. Another good thing is that all of the power strips except for one is totally turned off at this point in time in the morning while I am at it all around here. What gets to some folks that do come over to my place get mad that I do this around here so I can get some work done here in the can. I am also saveing on the power bill once said and done while I am at it all. I have been doing this part for years now for the unplugging things during the day. After I got laid off from the one company and my Husband was still working for the guy I started to realize that during the day I can go without and get more done by haveing everything off around here. Then I noticed that the power bill dropped over 100 dollars during the month at the time also. Now the power bill has dropped almost another 50 dollars once again after I put in the power strips and started turning off everything at the power strips also during the day. The place stays cooler in the summer without most of the stuff going also during the day and I do have a fan going since the bedroom is about the coolest spot also. With the A/C unit going I will have a fan in the hallway door pointing out into the main room also to get the cooler air going. The funny thing is there are several tricks to use while saveing money. Some say to turn off the A/C during the day. That is fine if you live alone and if the place does not heat up over 100 degreese with the windows closed. And if you do not have pets in the place also. I will try to go without the A/C unit this year as much as possible and keep the fans in the windows around here. When some folks come over they do forget about the birds being here. so they try to leave the door open for 5 min during the winter time. I do not need sick birds and another vet bill in the winter time at all. Then they all forget that I do not live off the system also like some neighbors do. I streach out the things and money at all times and some can not stand it when they all see me do this. All I can do is shake my head at some folks that try to say that I am on the other side of it all calling me a "Rich Bitch" also. I am by no means rich at all around here. I live below our means all of the time and some do not understand why I am running my household like I am. When I first started out doing most of the things I am doing I figured lets give it a try and if it does not work fine. Alot of things worked that I did try and stuck with me from then on for the can. Now I have not dropped alot of the things and I will be adding new things to the mix around here. Like staying away from the T.V. and computer for longer periods of time and trying to get use to that part of it also. Pluss there is a few other things that I will be trying on also. Then this way if folks that come over get mad then that is on them and they all do not have to come over niether to see what I am doing to save money and streaching everything else out while I am at it also.
