The Lockdown

So, like I said in the previous post, things are a wee bit rough this month, especially from a financial perspective. Don't panic, TORC Press ain't going bankrupt any time soon, and in fact I've got a side account set up for the strictly for the company, so I'm good there. No, on the personal finance front, things are a little tight, mostly because it takes a buttload of money to heat my house. A buttload of money that I currently don't have. The Solution: The Great Lockdown of '06. As of Saturday, I'm not spending money on jack, all week. No groceries, no McDonalds, no gasoline, no DVDs, and (this is the hard one) No Comics (Insert surprised gasps from the audience here). In further addition, as of today, I'm not driving anywhere except to work and back home. No Flora, no Olney, no nothing. I ain't wasting the fuel. The Great Lockdown lasts from now till Saturday.

On a quick side note: If these posts start sounding even more erratic and unstable than usual, it's because I've went stir crazy. Don't worry, things will revert to normal in about a week. I hope.

Do you have to heat your house with fuel oil ? If yeah I REALLY feel bad for you because that stuff is expensive. And on that note, *gasp* no comics!

Oh one other thing. I heat my house with natural gas and the price of that doubled. And the bad thing is not only do I heat my house with it but my oven is gas and so is my water heater. Needless to say its been a bit on the chilly side in my house lately.
