Cold Cat

Yesterday it was surpringly warm for December. Momoko said it was 60 degrees or so. Kit Kat cooked pork chops and sides for dinner, heating our house up even more. By night time, Momoko and I were hot. So I turned off the heat and opened up a window. The house cooled down a bit after an hour.

Momoko wanted me to close the window when she went to bed. No problem. I stayed up a bit longer and went to sleep myself. Today I am working from home. At lunch time I felt that my feet were very cold. That is strange. We set the heat so that I am usually comfortable. I did not give much more thought to this problem.

Later as I walked around the house, I figured something was not right. I was cold. Then I figured it out. I never turned the heat back on. It was around 60 degrees in the house. Ouch. Let's hope this thing heats back up now.

Root Beer Ripoff

Little Kat slept in late this morning. By the time he got up, it was time for us to go shopping. Cokes were not on sales. But Pepsi products were. We picked up 4 twelve packs. There was some other sale in the store for A&W Root Beer. We picked up a couple twelve packs of those sodas too. The cash register guy said he only needed to see one of the packs to ring us up. I like when they do that. Prevents us from having to lift all the heavy boxes out of the cart.

Later when I was home, I was paying my bills. I was shocked to find that they overcharged me for the soda. It was supposed to be $3 per twelve pack. Instead they charged me something like $5.69 per twelve pack. Fail. I got Little Kat and we drove straight back to the store. They had suspiciously removed the sale sign from the A&W Root Beer display. Regardless I went to customer service and told them what happened. They tried to tell me that A&W was not on sale. I agreed that it might not be on sale in their circular, nor in their scanner system. But I could testify that their huge sign above the drinks clearly stated $3 each this morning. In the end we prevailed. I got back the $17 I overpaid earlier today. Little Kat and I then hauled out of there to make it home in time for Kit Kat's onion covered pork chops.
