Charged up

I wasn't looking forward to receiving my January electric bill: after all, it was the first month that the longstanding price caps had been lifted, and I had heard dreadful stories about friends with skyrocketing bills ($400 for a small twin house in Kennett?). Well, the bill arrived, and yes, it's a few dollars higher than normal -- but it was also really cold, I did a lot of baking, and I had my computer running constantly. So I doubt I'll be switching carriers.
