Raining Iguanas

January 24th, 2020 at 12:53 am


Freezing. Tuesday we were told to buckle up and watch out for falling iguanas. Well yesterday it was in the 40s 🥶 and the iguanas 🦎 were everywhere 🙄🤦🏽‍♀️

Having been born in Florida and lived here my entire life, 40s is like below zero for me. However, I put my PJs on, loaded my bed 🛌 with blankets and guess what? I was okay. I thought I’d wake up freezing and too nervous to get out of bed to turn the heat 🔥 on, but I didn’t.
The blankets definitely kept me warm. If I can keep this up, my electric bill should be really low, like $40 bucks.

It’s been a game for me to keep my electric bill down, I love the challenge of getting it lower, I average about $10 less each month.

Other news, day 23 and I did not eat out, not even a soda 🥤. I’ve been doing very well, I’m striving for 31 days.
I’ve also had about 21 days of not spending money as well.

Today I received my reimbursement of $160 for my professional certification, I’m so exited. I can officially stop this sinking fund now, I’ve met my goal of $500. The $25 I was throwing at this account will go to the car fund since I literally cleaned it out last month with close to a $800 repair.

Tomorrow is pay day and I came in under budget by $87 with my cash envelopes. I transferred $41 to my challenge envelope for January, brining my total cash saving for the month so far to $94.

Oops lastly, I decided to create a few charts to track my payoffs, thanks for the tip everyone. I’ve also decided to use undebit, I’m feeling excited about it.

    Oh I should look up to see that, raining iguanas. It's been cooler than I prefer in the south, too. I'm not surprised you could leave your heat off, but long term that could cause frozen pipes depending on how cold it gets in the house. We turn our heat down at night while we sleep and load up on blankets too.

    I'm glad undebit seems like it might work for you!

    That's so weird about the iguanas. I hope most of them are okay!

    I remember visiting my sister in Arizona when they had a cold snap. She had no heat, and we bundled up inside, and did a lot of baking! It was kind of fun and didn't last long.

    I thought that was a joke when I first heard about, but it's real. LOL

    40 degrees sounds lovely to me right about now! We've had a mild winter in Minnesota but I probably haven't experienced 40-degree weather here since maybe November.

    We saw a story on the news about it raining Iguanas. Glad you could use the blankets and warm pjs and stay warm.

    Fine job on not eating out or drinking soda.
