My electricity consumption appears to have been constant in the last 24 hours.

Yesterday's consumption was 5½ kWh and so was today's.

This morning's meter reading was 8334. Yesterday's reading was between 8328 and 8329.

My electricity consumption went down again in the last 24 hours. I can only attribute it to the fact that I haven't been able to access the internet at home this week.

This morning's meter reading was between 8328 and 8329. Yesterday's reading was 8323 so my consumption was about 5½ kWh. Yesterday, my usage was 6 kWh — ½ kWh higher.

It was cooler yesterday than it was the day before, but my electricity consumption went down.

This morning's meter reading was 8323. Yesterday's reading was 8317. My usage in the last 24 hours was 6 kWh — 1 kWh lower than the day before.

The temperature climbed into the 70s yesterday, and the low last night was in the 50s.

I didn't expect much of in the way of electricity consumption, and I was right.

This morning's meter reading was 8317. Yesterday's reading was 8310. Thus, my usage was 7 kWh.

Yesterday's high was probably in the upper 50s or lower 60s. Last night's low was probably in the mid– to upper 30s.

I don't think my heat came on in the last 24 hours.

Nevertheless, my electricity consumption went up — to 9 kWh. I know that doesn't sound like much, but I try to identify the sources of such fluctuations because I know a time will come when I will look for each way to trim my electricity consumption that I can find, no matter how small the savings might be.

Today's meter reading is 8310. Yesterday's reading was 8301.

Friday's reading was between 8294 and 8295 so my consumption from Friday to Saturday was 6½ kWh. That's an increase of more than 38%.

I'm hoping that the current cold spell we are enduring here in north Texas will be short lived.

The temperature dropped to around freezing last night, and I know my heat came on at least a couple of times because I remember waking up during the night and hearing it. Consequently, I expected my electricity consumption to go up, perhaps into double digits.

Well, that was what I expected. But it wasn't what I found when I went out to check my meter.

This morning's reading is 8301. Yesterday's reading was between 8294 and 8295. My usage, therefore, was about 6½ kWh in the last 24–hour period.

Thursday's reading was about 8287 so my usage in that 24–hour period was about 7½ kWh.

Wednesday's reading was between 8280 and 8281 so my usage for that 24–hour period was about 6½ kWh.

Thursday was quite warm, much warmer than Friday — so I would say my usage has been consistent.

The rain slipped out of the area yesterday morning and was replaced by a warm and sunny day. Daytime highs must have been in the upper 60s or possibly lower 70s.

Nevertheless, it got cold after midnight. When I got up, the temperature was about 35°. I didn't know what to expect when I went out to check my meter.

But the heat from my downstairs neighbors seems to be paying off. This morning's meter reading is between 8294 and 8295. Yesterday's reading was 8287 so my consumption was about 7½ kWh.

That's a slight increase over the previous 24–hour period. Wednesday morning's meter reading was between 8280 and 8281 so my consumption in that period was about 6½ kWh.
