And, yes, my loves, My Hovel is small. Hobbit-sized. Tiny. I have heat pumps. I wear two pair of long underwear, padded pants from the army, and two fleece shirts inside the Hovel at all times. I do not own a stove. I do have a hair dryer which I ran to unfreeze the pipes. How about you?
My pet Hawk, Mrs. Bates. (I have been running around horrifying Mrs. Bates by calling her an owl. But a wonderful bird-watcher Perri, has made her very happy by pointing out she is a HAWK.)
Ouch!!!
To be honest, my first reaction was-" Wow, he's finally paying her?! "
Wow! Mine was only $118. I also have a heat pump. I had bills like those the first year I moved into my house because the contractor had set my thermostat to "back-up" while testing it and forgot to change it back. Since it was a new house, and I am female, they initially thought I was setting the thermostat too high. I told the contractor I wouldn't pay their final bill until they came out and fixed whatever was wrong. Luckily, that got their attention and got me an apology.
