Cooped up in the Cold

The entirety of my life has been spent in a bitterly cold house due to the fact that my parents are fantastically frugal when it comes to paying the heating bill. I have dealt with living in this cold dwelling and have grown accustomed to merely putting on another layer of socks and a sweatshirt. However, recently I have been living with five other people who enjoy a heart-warming home. I complained but, in truth, I have come to appreciate a toasty abode. For the holiday break I have returned to my parent's home to rediscover the conservative nature of my parents, especially when it comes to turning up the heat in our house. I'm lodging in an icebox. Truth.
