Gas bill arrives, oh moan groan tremble tremble. $97.00, which is not too bad for the start of winter. $97.00... credit. Joy unconfined, and yes, boy did they overestimate badly last month, by nearly two-thirds. Shall turn up the heat tonight: except that setting the thermostat to 15 last night rendered my bedroom so warm I had to shut one of the vents. The thermostat is currently at 15 again and I'm freezing. Ah well. Such are the oddities of this house.

Being still all owie in the muscles and having bought yuzu and lime tonic water yesterday, I went to the LCBO and bought vodka. They now have Cosmos in a bottle, so I got one of those too. Well, the Cosmopolitan mix is both strong and sour. Someone had a very light hand with the grenadine there. And the tonic water is unsweetened, which is fine, but also makes for a very sour drink. Must buy grenadine tomorrow. And think about getting to a Shoppers Drug because I need to buy a senior's metropass (available only there and not in the subway stations), mail a parcel (PO substations also only available there) and return my needles from last year (needles for blood thinners only available at Shoppers.) Shoppers is owned by evil price-fixing billionaire Galen Weston who also owns Loblaws, and my heart sinks at the way the TTC, Canada Post, the hospitals *and* the LCBO are all hand in glove with such a creep.
