My parents’ house purchase will close escrow this Friday. I have lived with them for the past eleven plus years so it will be strange to live alone again. The last time I lived by myself was right after my divorce. My parents were living in Canada, and my sister was in Portland, Oregon. This time, my sister is five minutes away, while my parents are 20 minutes away.
Still, I think it will be weird living by myself in such a large house. The house is not huge, but 2,200 square feet is too big for one person. Also, for the past five years I have been either sick (on dialysis) or recovering from major surgery, so my parents have been doing most of the chores. I do not have many physical limitations, but they always tell me to rest when I try and help.
