CHAPTER 10, 1984

After I left Ruth's this morning, I paid Cilco, phone and water.

When I got home from Alma's house, I repaired and washed the shower and bath lavatory curtains, and put them back up where they belonged. I put my everyday dishes in a sink full of bleach water to soak overnight.

I collected the rent at Mom's house, minus $45.00: $30.00 for the water leak that was on Felicia's water bill and $15.00 for winterizing materials Felicia had bought. I finished caulking the top of Mom's windows and the crack between the brick exterior and roof overhang, while I was there.

Cilco sent me a bill of $219.00, $191.00 for electricity alone. No one's home to use any utilities, and my new tenant is only home from 10:30PM to 6AM. Greg had a job and was only home long enough to make a mess, and I work twenty hours a day. My dogs must have used all the electricity.
