We've been — or, at least, I've been — sweating over how we're going to pay for heat this winter with both of us out of work, which is why last week we went to talk to the local Community Action office to sign up for the energy assistance program. We don't know whether we'll qualify for fuel/energy assistance yet, and probably won't know for another 60 days.
But, with all the energy the universe has put into taking a dump on us lately, I guess Karma decided we were due a break. I just got a call from Community Action telling me that they needed a propane-heated house to run a bunch of their energy-audit students through for training purposes, and here we were, newly registered and with a propane-heated house, and would it be OK if they run a couple classes of students through and, while they're at it, give us a full energy audit and winterization?
Funny thing, but I have NO PROBLEM AT ALL with that. :)
