I'm new to Houston and new to apartment building living. I'm the type who cannot sleep when i'm slightly warm and cannot think when i'm slightly cold. I WFH and have been typically setting my temp at 66 for when I sleep and increasing it to 70-72 when I wake up. The issue is my bill was incredibly high relative to the few friends I know here and if I don't decrease the temp back down by 4-5pm it won't be cool enough by the time I go to sleep. What is more efficient, leaving it at 66-68 all the time or decreasing it in the evening and increasing in the morning?

I just moved here and am in need of a couch for my apartment. I don't know anybody here so I can't have anybody help me go pick up a couch and am not in the budget of buying a new one from the store and having them deliver it. How could I get somebody to help me load and unload the couch? I also only have a sedan so i'd have to rent a truck as well. I haven't had luck offering extra money from sellers on fb marketplace.
