Since I am living under my parent’s roof I have to follow the rules. They have a lot of rules plus I do respect them plus listen to them. They’re letting me live at the apartment as long as I can until I can find a job plus get on my feet. However one of the rules is not turning up the thermostat. My associate and I live in a cold region plus during winters it can get pretty brutal. When they are at work plus I am at home, I will sneak to the thermostat plus turn it up. They have the thermostat set to 63 before they leave for work plus for me that is too cold. I feel I have a circulation concern because my fingers plus my feet will turn white plus go numb when I’m cold. When they are home I will complain that it’s cold plus they will tell me to put on extra layers of clothes. However I do not want to have to wear extra clothes or have a blanket around me every time that I am home. Therefore when my parents are at work I will turn the thermostat up to 71 degrees Fahrenheit. I don’t understand why my parent’s can’t keep it up to 71. I feel awful when I turn it up because I know that I am making the boiler work harder because I set the temperature much higher. I feel one of these afternoons when both of my parents come home from work, I’m going to try to negotiate the thermostat’s temperature with them.
