Some notes on your herbs. Parsley is a biennial, so if you let it go through the winter, it will self seed the second year. Put it in a place you can give it some protection over the winter if you have many nights below 0*F. You will still be able to harvest it all winter. It will go to seed in mid spring the second year, and give you new seedlings in late summer or early fall. A shade cage in spring can keep the seeds in the same square without too much trouble. Sage, dill and basil are all tall herbs. Often a couple feet or more. The more you trim and harvest them the bushier and more dense they will become. I would suggest you flip them with your carrots next to the tomatoes so they don't shade out your other plants. All three are good for tomatoes as companion plants. They won't compete for surface root space too bad (not like the total root share of tomatoes and carrots, but not a big deal). But they will help to deter pests, and the dill will attract bees if you let it go to seed. If not the dill is anti-bacterial and anti-fungal, and does seem to help the tomatoes in that realm. Oregano is a perennial in many areas. It is also low and spreading unless you have a hybrid bred for something else. Thyme is the same way. Both are a freaking pain to keep in a grid. If you can, those are two I would put in pots or somewhere else where they can creep all over and you don't have to hack at them constantly (harvesting leaves for use won't keep them confined, you have to cut back the new growth, which branches, etc.). Rosemary likes it dry, and can be a perennial if you bring it indoors for any temperature below freezing. I only grow my rosemary in pots because I can drown it if I put it in beds with my other herbs. A pot with both rosemary and thyme in it would do well, as the rosemary would grow up with semi-shallow roots, and the thyme would go over the edge with deep roots and keep the roots cool. Both need rather dry soil. Chamomile can naturalize and turn to a weed very quickly if you don't harvest the flowers. Plan to harvest very well when they are in bloom, or be aware of where it will drop seeds to keep it in control. BTW, chamomile and lettuce are in the same family, so you can use that as reference for companion planting. Unfortunately, aside from removing some herbs, you really shouldn't crowd these down any further than they are. If you use them and trim them regularly then they will bush out and fill that entire square foot easily.

SO's X used to be on medication but it caused her to gain weight (I am not sure about that) so she stopped. She did and still does some strange things that hurt her daughters. Very strange and she never offers explanations. Like invites her daughter over (out of state) but then says she is not available to be with her. Or does not answer both DDs' phone calls, messages and emails for months at the time. When they ask for explanations why didn't she call back for a month, she has nothing to say etc I dated two depressed guys, very difficult. Unpredictable. One of those depressed guys had depressed mother. She used to pack and leave for few months, leave her children without explanation, stay in unknown destinations and then come back again. He was traumatized for life by her doing that. Very depressed both mom and son. dad was fine. I didn't stay too long in this mess. I feel for depressed people but it sure tough to be around espcially if they do not want to get proper treatment or are prescribed medication but refused to take it.

Yes, I have a cat with IBD like symptoms though technically he doesn't have it. He's just had digestive distress since we got him ten years ago. Unfortunately it's flared up recently. I've always picked rugs that hide potential stains - wine, coffee, cat barf - and get rid of any carpet once it looks hideous either because of wear or stains. I'm overdue to get rid of my bedroom carpet but dreading the wood floor experience so I'm going to cover the worst of it up with a rug as soon as the cat's digestive flareup is under control - which will be soon I hope. Below is a stain hiding rug (also very cat barf resistant for easy cleanup), cat hair protectors for chairs, faux fur rug to minimize white cat hair on navy ottoman, plush blanket on back of sofa to keep white cat hair off that and a blue/white blanket on the ledge because the cat decided he liked it there.

Here is another photo of my foyer with the old stone tile removed. Here you can see the hallway I’m was referring to. It’s 4ft longer from that left wall to the end of the hallway there. So in essence, from the front door of the foyer to the end of the hallway wall, is 19’ (15’+4’=19’)
