Things I'm loving this week

Share the joy
  • I am totally loving shopping for my power as opposed to be TOLD how much I will pay per unit.  Mercury Energy sucks.  They along with the other power companies in NZ have continuously raised prices in the 3 years since we have been back, to the point where we along with numerous other New Zealander’s lived in fear of receiving their monthly power bill.  Not anymore.  I have switched to powershop.co.nz an now I get to decide how much I am prepared to pay for each unit of power I buy.  For example, I just purchased 300 units (almost half of what we will use in a month) of carbon neutral power from Meridian Energy for 20.59c per unit.  Compare that to my old rate at Mercury 22.22c per unit and you have a bargain.  But wait, there’s more!  There is no daily fixed charge at powershop.  NONE.  So my power has just gotten even cheaper.  Love it!
  • I am also loving Firefox browser, you can tweet from your address bar with the twitterbar add-on!
  • Loved The Pursuit of Happiness.  Watched it this week for the first time, and though it is utterly miserable in some parts, it humbled me and reminded me why Dave works so hard for us and of how much joy the little things can bring.
  • Loving the bustle of going to work – yes, I meant to type that.  The novelty hasn’t worn off.  Everything is different when you are out in the world dressed and ready to go at 8am!  I love the way people drive around the business park where I work.  It is fast and purposeful, people have places to go and things to do AND I AM NOW ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE!  It’s super busy, but Ethan isn’t missing out on me at all as he is at kindy the whole time I am at work, and I feel like I don’t need my happy pills quite as much as I did 3 months ago.  That’s progress.
  • Finally, I am going to love Pearl Jam all over again when they play here in November.  I know, I know, how ’90’s of me, but Eddie and pals were one of THE big-deal-very-important bands for me as a teenager.   I saw them when they played here in 1995 at The Mt Smart Supertop (relive that amazing show with the setlist here)and I will see them again this year and Dave will come with me and he WILL love it!
