August Happines Challenge -- Day 19

My 2023 happiness icon
Today's Happiness: $1.80

That's how much I'll be saving on my electric bill this month. No, it's not much. But that's not the point.

On the 16th, Commonwealth Edison sent those of us participating in the program a notice to reduce our energy consumption during a peak usage time that afternoon. I did. And this morning, I learned my efforts were enough to warrant a discount.

It felt nice to know I helped reduce the stress on our energy grid on a hot August afternoon.
