End of Month Routines...

I was doing bills Sunday evening because there wasn't much else going on. I looked at the power bill online and it say "due July 17." So, of course, I gasped! I paid bill online right away! Then I looked to see why I didn't get email about bill. Email came June 27. Well, maybe I forgot about email when it came? Then I look at billing history and it says payment made June 27! Hmm. I look at bank statement. Yes, I gave money on June 27 to power company! It is same amount as was due July 17! I had paid! That is different amount from what I just paid which is a little higher so I'm guessing the stupid system hasn't updated its due dates yet. Very annoying.

My statement from health care says they did not get payment. It also says they will send a courtesy statement from now on. So, I guess, they just decided on their own I didn't need statements which is why I wasn't seeing them in the mail. Instead I had to provide my own envelopes to make payments. I need to see if they cashed check but it won't appear until my next statement for the period that ends the 31st. I looked online but there is no billing info for the health care online. This is just stupid. I guess I will call. I am not paying double! Grr.

I heated two hot dogs today. I put them in buns and one decided to fall over, roll out and off the counter onto the floor. Since food is low in the apartment and I was feeling daring, I picked up the dog, rinsed and dried with with a paper towel twice, then microwaved it 30 more seconds and put it back in the bun. I was not going to let it avoid being eaten! If I end up with botulism that is how I got it. I blame hunger and a conversation I had the other night about my germ phobias for this daring feat.

Tonight I had the door for the deck wide open to air out the stuffy air inside apartment. I forgot I left it open. When I finally remembered and dashed to see if it was open, kitty was sitting neatly on the inside "welcome mat" guarding the doorway and soaking up the breeze. She is a good kitty!

Sleep has stayed the same but it is still an improvement over last week. What else did I do? I cleaned the toilet. I was bad and skipped cleaning it last week. My "Osama look" scares the office lady so I did some trimming. Duckie approves. He is online so I will post this and annoy him awhile!

My cable internet introductory deal ended so it's gone up $10. Why does 5Mbps/768Kbps cost $50 in Southern CA when 10Mbps/1Mbps costs $52 in Texas?
