Yikes, Cindy! I consumed 195 kWh last month.

I just paid the bill yesterday so I happened to have
the info right here on my desk this morning.
My bill was $32.56

And with many minor things turned on almost 24/7 too.
- 2 lights (led)
- 2 fans (bedroom and bathroom)
- TV and 2 clocks
- answering machine
- one computer
- fridge (naturally)

And many other things turned off and on as necessary.

Looking at my "Usage History" on the bill, my highest
usage was last July. 679 kWh.

That was a very hot, humid and miserable damn month
and the AC stayed on often. Early mornings were the
worst with humidy and no wind. Wearing only a t-shirt
and shorts, I would start sweating just walking from
my front door to my van - about 40 steps.
