Mid-Month Stretch

My computer has started this cute little habit of freezing up when I close certain internet sites. Then I have to do the control/alt/delete thing and shut down Internet Explorer. Then start it up again. Sometimes it will connect and sometimes it just sits there. It makes writing on my blog a lot more tedious.

Anyway, the weather is getting in to the mid-nineties again so it is hot. I was hoping I could keep the AC off for the rest of the year but it is not to be. I know that it doesn't really cool off until October I don't want to accept it. Luckily my used fan motor replacement is still chugging along. So far it was a good choice to go with the used part.

The month is almost half gone and I don't want to add up my expenses. I think I have used up all of my September budget already. I guess the good thing is that I don't need anything right now. The only thing that I will definitely run out of is drinking water. But the water machine takes nickels and dimes and I'm sure I could scrounge up enough change for 10 or 15 gallons of water to get me through the next 2 weeks. Other than that, I have plenty of propane, rainwater, food, gas, clothes, deodorant, toilet paper...all of the things that make life comfortable. I even have plenty of dog(and cat) food and treats. Now I just have to resist the temptation to shop.
