My scale died today. Ordered a new one, but it will be a week before it gets here. I am actually down a pound from my weight listed here but I'm not even recording it because the new scale may register differently. Our daughter (stage 4 cancer) and her husband are coming to stay with us Sunday to attend my sister's funeral Monday. She is very critical of me and has been complaining about me to my sister's son and wife.
My front hall or foyer is 8' x 8'. I have double front doors, where we use one but the other one has a special lock and is not opened even once a year. So on the side of the locked door, I have a small carved "corner" chair and a tiny table that just holds a flower. Of course, this isn't a huge foyer but a chair by the front door seemed charming to me, in case someone at the door gets faint from hearing a naughty word from the street.
On the side that opens there is still a foot of wall, enough to put the great big tall emergency oxygen tank for my husband. It is so heavy I can't even move it, and have never used it because he uses the oxygen concentrator at night plus has a little portable one. Do you get the picture of my front doors? The hallway is empty all the way to nearly the back of the house, about 23' plus several to the side, with not one more thing sitting in it. Our daughter told her cousin my house is so "bad" she can't even get in the front door. He is angry with me, that when I die or am incapacitated she will have to take care of my house. He said professionals want 40%. The last time she visited I suggested I find neighbors to help get rid of things to help her, like books, clothes, and kitchen stuff. She didn't like that idea because she said she would want to go through things.
Other than my bad back I am quite healthy and might enjoy my home another 10 or 15 years. I do have a lot of clothes, because sewing is my hobby, and I go from size 2 to size 12 regularly. But I know exactly where I want to donate them. I have to face my 2 nephews and their critical wives (not my size) on Monday. I sure plan on just smiling and hugging, telling everyone I love them, which is totally true. But it's hard being around people who are so critical.
