Unlike Leisl, I am hating winter this year. It's sooooo cold. Landlord finally got busy after I sent a letter citing Landlord-Tenant Act and we're getting a pellet stove tomorrow. Even with 200+ electric bills we can't get the house any warmer than about 58. Was below 40 when I got up the other day ... INSIDE MY HOUSE! I'm tired, cold and feeling defeated :( Ron loaned us a kerosene heater, but kerosene is so expensive these days - $9/gal!

Anyway, pellet stove tomorrow and I'm going to get this house WARM for the first time since November. Then I'll be reasonable and conserve blah blah blah.

only $800 left on the cello :D Thanks to eveeryone who contributed
