Fear of the Unknown

For one week my electric bill lay on the counter, unopened.

Today was the day. I was going to face it, open it and trust I would have the $$ to make the payment which was now due on the 22nd.

My stomach in knots I opened the envelope, hoping for a miracle.

The amount due.......$150.00 (miracle delivered)

$150? is that all? What? $150 in this heat! WOW, only $150. I have $150. No big deal.

Just think if I had opened that a week ago I wouldn't have dreamed that the bill was $850 because my unit is sooooo old an inefficient, or regretted not putting insulation in, or not having the AC unit serviced in XX years or feeling stupid for signing up with Green Mountain, which locked me in at a rate higher then they are now quoting.

How my little monkey mind sure runs wild. The next time the bill comes I am going to open it the day it arrives and rejoice that I have any AC at all!!!

Have you opened yours?
