Walking is a good idea, however, summer is here and so is that incredibly strong sun that I need to stay out of. Sigh.<br /><br />I do not feel at home here and doubt that I ever will. My husband thinks that I am being ridiculous about that, but then again, it is his house and his mother's house and definitely not mine. Not one thing has been done to make me feel welcome here, by either my husband or his mother, so I don't know how they expect me to feel more "at home". <br /><br />The apartment cleaning and moving is nearly finished and I am not sure what I'm going to do with myself when I'm expected to spend all my time in this horrid house. I may not! I do have a bicycle and can probably get out if desperately need to. <br /><br />Thanks for commenting.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00476943539943172099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20006571.post-7293187840746394572017-06-19T00:35:43.835+09:002017-06-19T00:35:43.835+09:00For those of us rubber-necking on your life from t...For those of us rubber-necking on your life from the sidelines, it'll be interesting to see how you shape your lifestyle over time to deal with living with your mother-in-law. I imagine finding a good balance between being in and out of the house and having privacy will be tricky, but you'll find a way. For me, I always found that taking walks really helps when you're in a situation in which being home isn't as relaxing as you'd like. I don't know how "at home" you feel when you're at your MIL's house, but I imagine it's really difficult.<br /><br />The reason I mention this now is that I think you're likely winding down on clearing out your old place and cleaning it up after all this time and once that is no longer occupying you, new things will start to happen and how you spend your time will change. I certainly wish you luck!Orchid64https://www.blogger.com/profile/07132543155589881288noreply@blogger.com
