Gas Axed

Ahh, so this morning, the gas company left a note on our door. They just wanted to inform us that they have shut off our gas. It makes sense, since we had late bills. I thought they were going to cut it next month, but they did it this month.

Now, since it's summer, it's not that bad. Since it's warm all the time, the cold showers won't kill us. If it was in the winter, then that would be a whole other story.

Granted, this is not the first time we had our gas shut off. It has happened before, and we just dealt with it. Disconnecting is the easy part. Getting them to reconnect is the pain in the arse.

But, as with everything, there is a good side to this. Now we can use the flean and insect bombs on the house. We could not use them before, because of the pilot light on the downstairs and upstairs heaters and so on. Now, we just gotta buy them, and bomb the house.

We are probably going to try to get the gas reconnected soon, but I can't do anything about in the meantime. We don't have the money to deal with that. We are going to pay for the power friday, because that's pay day. If we don't well, the power is scheduled to get shut off on the 30th. We can live without gas, but without power, it is much much harder. I am not saying that it is impossible, because we had small situations like that before.

The good thing, is while thios worries, it's not a big deal, and we can deal with it.

Other things that are slated to be cut is out phone service, and cell phone service. That we gotta figure out what to do about. It might come down to which we want on. The home phone service can be done without, because the cell phones do the same thing, and it also allows communication between family to arrange stuff, and it can be used in cases of emergency.

I'm hoping my internet won't be cut, but that's something that I just have to deal with. That account is going to be officially late today. That means that I get a whole other month before they cut it.

Imporant things like car, and insurance, always get paid. Granted, at the sacrifice of many other things. It's life, and things gotta balance out one way or another.
