So the Road to Solar Hell came to a cross roads and like any good passenger, I sat quietly until the fifth time I was asked "What should we do?" So knowing Hubby was getting broody over it, I gave him a whole new direction to go. Instead of hoisting a two hundred pound solar heater, I suggested he use the solar panel to find the best positioning of the sun. Let me tell you, that got the engines revved a little.
According to a friend of mine, when I complained about the road to Solar Hell not having any turn off's he replied, "That's because there aren't any. Too costly and they had to make budget cuts." Its so nice to know I have friends to rally around and help me along this journey.
Actually all our cut backs have been making a difference. Our electricity has been cut about 45%. Not bad for our first year. I'm hoping we can cut it down another 10. That would be cool. I've been utilizing my laptop's battery. For my stuff, it will last over 6 hours. For Hubby'e, maybe twenty minutes. It only takes an hour to charge so, I figure using it off the grid is a better way to go.
Tonight is the last dress rehearsal for Steel Magnolias. I just went through the entire play on the audio disk and hit my cues. Its frustrating that its not happening on stage. My nightmares are beginning. My first one was, I was three hundfred plus pounds and the director is screaming "What the hell happened to my M'lynn". Last night was I was afraid to move from the chair because I knew the actress behind me was going to push me off stage. The actress wasn't the actress who is playing the roll of Truvy. (She would never do it) It was another who for some reason felt I had ruined her life. I think there was a few more anxieties with this one. Tonight I'm taking a bottle of Fireball (cinnomin whiskey) and knock myself out. It will be a blissful dreamless sleep followed by a couple of tablets for the headache in the morning.
Please God, let it be a smooth run.
