Ok, ok now....I am referring to the Queen herself. So, last night was our first night sleeping in the recliner since the start of our pregnancy. Queenie gets to experience just about everything that goes on in the house, no matter what time of day or night . So, around 2 am, I get out of bed from being there as long as I could possibly stand. I head into the living room only to discovering that it is freezing. I made that determination based on the fact that I was cold as well as the fact the heater was on emergency heat when I walked past the thermostat. So, I need to chase a rabbit here for a minute - the heat stayed on from 2 until 6 this morning...and my thought was, "Oh my-what is the power bill going to look like for the month?" Well, much to my surprise I come to work and receive my power bill email. I was hesitant about signing in to my account and looking at my bill. And when I finally signed in I realized that I probably should not have looked...it went from $160 last month to $300!!! That is the highest power bill that I have ever paid...I compared it to this time last year and the bill was $180. Now, can we say that it has been cold....just in case some of you haven't noticed! So, back to my story. After determining that it was way too cold in the living room, I go and get more blankets and decide that I also need to recruit the Queen to join me for the rest of the night in the recliner. I awake her from where she was sleeping under the cover in the bed and I know full good and well she was confused...her initial response was to go straight to the backdoor thinking it was 5:15 am when she normally goes outside. When she comes back inside she heads straight for the bedroom but I managed to get her to come back and join me in the chair. Well, after 30 minutes of shifting around and getting more pillows, I finally found a comfortable position in which to sleep. With all of those events, I was no long sleepy. DirectTv doesn't offer too much at 2 am...so I settled for watching Wacky Races on the Boomerang channel...gotta love those old cartoons!
To draw this post to a close, I will end by saying that Jack and I along with Queenie spent several hours in the wee hours of the morning in the recliner sleeping off and on and freezing to death as the heater ran and ran resulting in an increased power bill and a decrease in sleep. Something seems wrong with this situation.
