I Bought Oil Today

I bought heating oil today. I should really be buying oil stock! It was not fun. It will cost me over $1,800 for a mere 500 gallons. And that's with a big purchase price break! Thank God we only use about 300 a year for hot water and for heating on some below zero days. I can't imagine what the bill would be otherwise. What happens when then kids leave home and we lose our wood helpers? I shudder at the thought. We used to fill the 1,000 gallon tank. Not anymore. It may be just Tom and I out there splitting and hauling wood. And In August Dan gets his license. Our auto insurance will skyrocket and then two years later it will do that again along with the first child entering college. Oh joy......
