That number still sends me reeling.
We called the town and said that it couldn't possibly be right because it was more than double the highest bill we've ever had. So they sent two men out to re-check it. And their response?
"It's not only correct, but you are well on our way to having to pay another bill like it next month."
Are you kidding me?!! because seriously, I'm like the Amish when it comes to using electricity. at least during the day.
We have over a dozen 5-ft windows in our downstairs alone. So natural light it is. Until 5:30. THEN, lights can be turned on.
I don't even use my dryer on a normal basis. instead opting to hang up the clothes on a rack that I set over the heating grate.
See? my cloth diapers hanging "out" to dry.
So ALLLL that to say, we just got our electric bill last week. Drum roll pa-lease.....
$34.12
Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' 'bout! Obviously the town conceded and fixed their mistake. You know, the one they refused to admit in the first place.
Why or how they came to the decision to first, acknowledge the mistake and second, to fix it is beyond me. Because we all know they didn't have to!! They could have easily just swept their error under the rug and moved on.
But they didn't.
and though I will never know the ins and outs of the behind-the-scenes, I'm just chalking it up as favor of God. The Only One who can move on the hearts of men to do what's right.
