When Meg got to work this morning, she IMed me, asking if I thought gas would go up today. She had already filled up on her way to work but was just curious. Along about noon, I saw on the news that gas was $4.19.9 in places, so I decided to dash out to fill up...hoping I wasn't too late. Judging by the line of cars that ran out to 267 as I approached Thornton's, I guessed that the stations down by the interstate had already gone up. I got in the queue and filled up at $3.83.9. Lucky me! But still...$49 for 3/4ths of a tank is an all-time record. I won...but what's the prize? We are cutting back on food purchases just to try to accommodate for increased prices at the pump. I shop at Aldi's. (Good food, actually!)
I started stripping wallpaper at 9:00 this morning, and stopped, due to sore fingers, at 4:00. Slow going! I hate stripping wallpaper, but it is a necessary evil in order to get updated decor in a room. Meg's new comforter arrived today. She'll have to choose wall color now. It MIGHT get done this weekend, although that's pushing it a bit. We are totally re-doing every room while each is empty. 'Tis the only way! One at a time...
