Here it is almost 9:00 and still 101 at my house. |
Oh, gosh, they told us on Channel 8 this evening Ercot said no energy crisis this weekend and we could use appliances and A-C as usual. Now I'm worried again. I have been turning off the TV, lights and fan when I leave the room. I have had my thermostat at 80 degrees all week and unplugged every appliance except the fridge unless I am using it. Every afternoon, I have turned off my TV and surround system for 1 - 2 hrs and even unplugged my computer and modem during the 4 - 6 time slot. I was going to try to live normally this weekend but guess better not.
Cannot wait until I see the leaves beginning to fall!
