  Well- the electric bill came today- and indeed our record setting hot 
streak does come at a price. $144 for this month's electricity. The 
month before (and our norm during most summer months) was $60. Yuck! 
But, on a much more positive note- my husband was offered a very nice 
position today, which he accepted and will start in 2 weeks. So yeah!!! 
13 months and 5 days of job hunting finally paid off! Thank God!
