Still, it’s hard to get friends to come over.
Living in an upstairs apartment isn’t exactly what I wanted to have growing up. I’m pushing 40 years old and I’m single but can’t really do much when I have neighbors that live below me. If I make too much noise, step on the wrong floor boards or invite too many of my friends, they will either call the landlord, beat on the ceiling or call the cops. They are terrible and I always try to be nice to them but they just look at me in disgust, like I’m not worthy of their presence. It doesn’t matter anyways. The greatest thing about them living below me is that heat rises. The temperature they have their thermostat set at is ideal for my liking. It doesn’t matter if it’s summer or winter, the air conditioning or the heater settings are perfect. I never turn on my electric furnace so my heating and cooling bills are very low all year round. I’ll never tell them that they are basically paying to keep me warm or cool. So I guess I have that going for me. I’m sure if they ever found out about that they’d freak out and demand the landlord to put in extra insulation. Still, it’s hard to get friends to come over. I thought about getting a dog but I figured they’d yell every day about that. So most days I’m not here unless I’m sleeping or don’t want to go out and eat. A friend offered me to move in but I still like my space and privacy. Regardless, I’m going to enjoy the heating and cooling that they provide.
