    will be so nice to have a warm house again! lol.  ended up emptying 3 coffee baskets in the compost bin yesterday, and 2 so far today.  Scentcy warmer uses more electricity than I thought.  will record a few other house items with it over the weekend.

    kept furnace off again yesterday/last night.  Measured desktop computer w/kill a watt but husband shut computer down during the day so didn't get an accurate reading.  Trying again today.  So far put 3 baskets of coffee grounds in the compost today!

    We did not have the furnace on last night or today.   Kill a watt is monitoring the older refrigerator.  Did not work today so no coffee grounds composted
