electric bill has ruined my day

Got our most recent electric bill...all I can say is...God help us now! Somehow it went up $100 from last month and yet we tried all month to do things that would lower it...doesn't make sense to me. I called TEP and they said to check to the meter reading to make sure it is correct with what they are reading. It just doesn't make sense to me...I raised the temp on the AC and left it alone, we barely use our lights...cut back on doing laundry...I just don't know...I guess I need to go and change every bulb to the energy saving ones...but not sure that will help us either. We can't even qualify for the budget billing because no one lived in the house from October to May...so that sucks! Another reason I am so ready for summer to be over and to not have to use the AC at all will be really nice. Maybe we need to look into getting those sun screens put on our windows sooner rather then later. I wonder how expensive that is. Hopefully Luke can read the meter today and I hope that there is something seriously wrong with it or something. The lady did say it was an older meter...so maybe that could be it...fingers crossed it's and error and not really true that we are using that much energy...I don't see how it is possible.
On another note Bobby is finally back to his old self and we didn't even have to take him to the vet. He is eating fine and fighting with Brewski again and playing. So happy he is ok..I imagine he swallowed something he shouldn't have from outside...he loves to be outside in the yard.
Still have not worked out this week, I'm just being really bad about it. Yesterday my right foot was all swollen because of some infection in my toe...it was hurting so bad by the time I got home, and I couldn't even bend my toe. Today it is still pretty swollen, even my right flip flop is tight...not good. Just hoping that it heals on it's own and sooner then later.
