OK, the day ended with me in the hospital and 24 hours of no sleep due to food positioning, so not such a good thing after all.
Surely something good happened to you today

My girlfriend called me this morning to tell me that she'd been promoted. She applied for and interviewed for the head of DSHS/Child Protective Services in Grant County, WA. They called this morning to let her know her application had been accepted.
When I congratulated her, she said, "It's a lot of responsibility."
I replied, "You're a single mom who's raised three kids on her own, and earned a BA and MA in Social and Child Services before you turned forty. Now you're heading the very department that was threatening to take your children away when you lost your job and you were homeless. I say you're more than ready to handle the responsibility."

I am diabetic and have a lot of dietary restrictions and no-no's. I went to my favorite local sandwich shop today and asked if they had sourdough bread and they don't, so I just ordered chicken salad in a cup, no bread, or crackers. It was very good, which was a nice surprise. Something new I can eat for lunch! My diet gets pretty boring and predictable so this new item makes me happy.
I was able to get into BritBox and watch new episodes of "Vera."
I'm in a similar situation. I've found a lot of ways to flavour hard-boiled eggs.
We have today adopted 'treacle' a lion head bunny from the RSPCA. He will be living, once bonded with our girl rabbit who lost her companion a couple of months ago.
It's not cheap but so many bunnies wanting homes, would have loved to bring them all home.

I've had a lot of good news these past few days:
- the baseball lockout is over and there will be a season this year
- Joe Buck is leaving Fox (THANK FREAKING GOD!
)
- got tickets to see COME FROM AWAY - for the sixth time, I might add - in NYC this August

Hmm... Sports, musical theatre, and "Buck" and "Fox" in the same sentence.I've had a lot of good news these past few days:

You busy next weekend?
Four hours, three workmen and some of hubby's re-cabling later, we now, after a month and a half of living here, have full speed internet in every room.

Now all you need is a mini-fidge, a microwave, and a loo in every room and you'd never have to move more than 3 meters.
Oh, and a little robot to accept deliveries at the front door.
Got an applicant today for one of three positions I have open. It's a start.
We finally have handles on all the kitchen cabinets and drawers, thanks to Hubby's hard work.
Good to know you have a handle on things.

I think the handles are the only thing we have a handle on.
A crew has been here working on the floors for about 5 hrs. I feel sorry for them, but at least the floors look like we were told they would.
Hubby also got his Tesla charger installed in the garage. Now it should charge about 30/40 miles every hour instead of 12. Cost a hell of a lot but there aren't enough super-chargers in our area, so he really needed it.

Bonus unexpected sunshine today so more sanding and priming my Boomerang phaser hopefully.
I am having the darnedest luck recently encountering cool rides.
I have no idea about "tiers." We just have one bill and rate never changes no matter whether we use a little or a lot. Our electric bill for the new house has been pretty good. The old house was drafty as hell and has a POS air conditioner, so bills were super high for 5 months of every year. So far, this house has been pretty good with the electric bill. We'll see how much hubby's charger adds to it.
It varies of course depending on your electric rates and your car's power consumption per mile.
It's not hard to calculate if you have the information in front of you, found online for your particular make and model:
Vehicle battery max kw/h / max range in miles = kw/h per mile
Your average daily mileage * kw/h per mile = avg daily kw/h use
electric rate per kw/h * avg daily kw/h use = avg daily cost.
Avg daily cost * days per billing cycle = additional cost on your bill.
Note: you can skip a step if you have odometer readings from year-end to year-end and divide by 12. (my insurance company finds them interesting.) Since your mileage may vary by month according to holidays and vacation trips, an avg throughout the year might be more informative.
