Morning surprise (and not the good kind) - Not a question but you can make it one if you want!

I woke up this morning, got my coffee and sat down to read the paper. After about 20 minutes, I got up to check the thermometer because, wow, it sure was warm! Spring must be early this year!

Then, I started getting a little uncomfortable because of the temp. I looked at the thermostat and it was set to 82. 82!!!

I told granddaughter "mom must have gotten really cold because the heater got turned way up" and she said "Oh. That was me. I was cold after supper so I turned it up so I could get warm".

I just asked her to please ask me from now on before she does that. Wonder how much my bill is going to be?

Just one overnight with the temps up shouldn't increase your bill but a couple of dollars.
Menopause is not something we want to do more than once.

Oh no! My daughter did this a while back, but my thermostat has to be held to set so, when she turned the heat up it didn't hold and it actually dropped down to 60 degrees. I couldn't figure out why it was so cold in the house lol

Agreed. I thought maybe I was going through menopause again.

@annanonnymommy - Yikes. I HATE that. And up here it's $3.50 a gallon which is more than gasoline.

@meooma - Amen sister
