Efficient

Wm has a yucky mucus cold. He says he feels fine, but he has been leaking like a faucet. We went to Kohl's yesterday and got his Slender Man outfit. I was able to get in one win. He INSISTED on suit pants that he'll probably never wear again, but I managed to talk him into a black zip-up thing that he can wear all the time instead of a suit jacket. And, of course, the red tie. So now he's ready to go.  Wm is a stubborn little guy and when he gets and idea into his head, there is NO changing it. The trick is to plant whatever seed you want BEFORE he makes up his mind, then when he's all, "that zip up is perfect," you can be like, "YOU'RE A GENIUS, WILLIAM...how did you ever think of that? So smart." And he thinks it's his idea and that he's brilliant. [insert diabolical laugh here]

But now, due to The Cold, we are trapped at home so Wm doesn't infect anyone (or get quarantined - like a friend of Steve's who went to Urgent Care with a stomach bug and told them he played soccer with some guys from Africa so they quarantined him in the hospital for 3 days).  I guess I can clean the house...

Speaking of the house, we are super energy efficient! We got this from the gas company yesterday:

I think we're more cheap than we are green, but the result is the same: we use a ton less gas than most people. I REALLY wish they would have sent us this BEFORE we paid for the energy audit that told us our house is pretty darn efficient (especially for being 100 years old!) and we don't need to do anything. 

AND, big news: The Fridge comes tomorrow!!!! Allegedly.
