    Had an installer measure for our new HVAC system today, so l got 75 points for that! We are going with a super efficient all electric system and we pay for the PGE Green Energy option, so l am very happy about that impact. We also have a high efficiency heat pump water heater, so we'll   pretty low on our home energy consumption!

    Got some good stuff in this weekend, including led bulb replacement. 60watt equivalent bulbs are going for $1 each at Ace! I might have gotten 15.

    Well, I was going pretty much straight from 7:30am-8pm today, so my work/life balance goal was not met. Try again tomorrow....
