A couple years ago, my cousin Sarah came to live with me, however she needed a place to stay so that she could save some money to eventually get her own spot.
While she lived here, my buddy and I had so much fun together. I used to cherish the days where my buddy and I binged on wine and snacks and watched seasoned films all night long. Sarah lived here for close to 2 years, so my buddy and I had several of those days while in that time… For the most part, Sarah and I got along. She worked at days, and she slept while in the afternoon, so the only time my buddy and I particularly saw each other was on the days when she was off from work. Anyway, the only thing my buddy and I couldn’t agree on was the temperature setting on the thermostat. While Sara slept in the afternoon, she liked to keep the thermostat set to 76 degrees. I thought that was too low, especially when the temperature outside was over 90 degrees. The recommended temperature for the thermostat is 70 degrees and prior to Sarah living with me, I have constantly kept my thermostat set on that. There were some days where I could not deal with it, so I would adjust the temperature on the thermostat to 79 degrees. I thought that was a fantastic temperature for Sarah to sleep without me freezing inside the house. Those days didn’t go so well, and Sarah would wake up and have a bit of a tantrum. I didn’t see the giant deal, however for her it was. After some back and forth my buddy and I settled on the thermostat at 76 degrees while in the afternoon. I had to make that sacrifice for almost 2 years, so I was excited I was able to adjust the thermostat to my liking once she moved out.
