Another bill arrived. Am I the only person that gets excited to see a bill from a company that he hates?

My estimate was 2135 kwh costing me $181.48.
The bill was actually 2128 kwh costing me $185.12 for 60 days. Difference in the estimate is probably due to whenever they read the meter. I read at 1 in the afternoon they could have read anytime in the morning. The cost is different because I'm not doing exact calculations as the tiered system makes it a pain to do it. As well they keep changing how it's worked out...

My usage is up mostly due to lots of reno's taking place in the house and me using the Heatpump more then normal rather then take the time to light the fire, bring in the wood,...
The running average has slowly been creeping up and is now at 33.5 kwh/day

Anyways here's the raw info
HDD (18.5C) 944.1 Yes I used more power when it was a bit warmer...
CDD 0
Days Covered 60
KW.h used 2128
cost/kwh 0.0884
kwh/day 35.4666
kwh/hdd 2.254

While the usage is up when it really shouldn't have been I'm still pretty happy. It's a 27% decrease in kwh from last year. Also this means my yearly usage is now 1607 kwh or 21% lower then I would have used at this point last year. As great as the $75 credit if I keep that savings at or above 10% is I've roughly saved $135 on the bills already.
