UGH! A Utility Bill

I got my first utility bill today.  You get a little spoiled living in base housing and never receiving a water, electric, or gas bill.  Now it is time to start really conserving.  Despite being 95 degrees outside, we are trying to hold out like the neighbors and not turn on the air conditioning.  The neighbor told me that they try to wait until the triple digits.  Looks like that will hit by Thursday this week.  This morning I was using my treadmill and Mario came in to shut off the light.  The sun was coming up so I guess he figured I didn't need that light anymore.   It is a little depressing in my house with all the windows and blinds closed.  But I guess that is necessary to keep out the sun and keep in every ounce of cool air we have.

But I am not complaining.  I still love Tucson!  I will take the heat and utility bills over the cold weather and small house(but free utilities) any day!
