My mom gave me her Honda Accord when I turned 18. I think it was 7 years old at the time.
Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
That's almost exactly my story, sj, except it was my dad's Honda, I was 19, and it might have been a little older.

My daughter is starting off with an 11 year old Honda Fit which actually has about 30,000 fewer miles than my 11 year old Ford Focus.

Why is my electric bill DOUBLE what it normally is, this month? I can't think of any big changes, other than "using the fan slightly more often"! Maybe it was a mistake?

Peak pricing?
Do you have a neighbor who might be stealing your electricity? I had some nuns living downstairs from me at one point that were unwittingly on my meter. Well, I assume unwittingly. Because nuns.

Because books.
That's what they want you to think, -t.

Devious nuns? Inconceivable.

Jesse, I'm in much the situation you are. Except my poor trainee has been flying pretty much solo since July 9! She said it's been weird & I don't doubt it. Spent 2 hours just going over stuff, but she was exhausted (having just flown in this morning from throwing her twin's weekend wedding shower.) And we don't have a good training plan; it's just braindump me. And I'm still on vacaybrain.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am sure we will both be fine! And our trainees, too.

Possibly someone is stealing my power! They've stolen my water in the past (which I don't mind--it's local homeless folks--unless they leave the water running. But that wasn't hugely impacting my water bill!)
I did a lot of taking care of business today--including canceling both cable and my TiVo. I may wind up regretting it (since apparently my TiVo is old enough that they won't restart service on it now that I've canceled, if I change my mind??). I've had a TiVo since 2002!! Like OG. But I just don't watch much TV at all anymore. Now to decide if I want to get like, a Netflix subscription or something? (I do have a Roku) Actually what I really need is my PARENTS' cable info...lol
