My boyfriend and I live in a duplex together. He bought it in January and the tenant who lived downstairs just moved out, so it’s ours now. I’m paying the portion of the mortgage that his tenant paid in rent, so it’s great for all of us.
Anyway, his son is here and he blasts the TV and it annoys me a lot. Tonight I just came down here and I can’t hear a thing but the birds singing outside. It’s glorious and a wonderful way to end my day.
I’m just happy to have this little escape, and he can come down here when my kids are here, or I can keep them down here while he hangs out upstairs or whatever. It’s nice to have the whole house now.
