Absolutely. I think doing what you want regardless of the preferences of people who don’t live there is perfectly fine.
Especially since it’s known that I have a chronic illness and a history of high blood pressure associated with that illness. If someone wants to be Mr. Scrooge about my personal living arrangements, they can do so in their own space.
So this is probably going to be something to be dropped into the “To Be Continued” pile. ;o]
