Spring is finally here in Western Canada. It's now the middle of May and the trees are *finally* starting to bud leaves. Utility costs went down (the water bill was read later in the month, so that's why it's higher than usual) and my insurance was re-worked to exclude sewer backup now that we have a back-flow preventer installed.

We're now connected with Netflix - free first month trial. The cable/wifi skyrocketed as our 8 month promotion expired (we should get a credit this month because it's billed in advance). We downgraded to basic 28 channels and 1.5Mbps internet speed.
