If a person from this community disturbs you in a comment, please report the comment. If you receive a DM you did not request, send a screenshot of the DM in a message to a moderator. This is a bannable offense.
4-Suicide, Self-Harm, Death-- Extended discussions are STRONGLY DISCOURAGED here. First, mods and community members are caring people, but not experts in crisis situations.

Spoiler alert: you're going to die and there's nothing you can do to stop it from happening.
Yeah, no shit, but coupled with the context of the post it makes it sound like suicide.
You are not guaranteed to live until tomorrow. You aren't even guaranteed to live long enough to finish typing out a reply to this comment. Its unlikely you'll die so soon, of course, but the chance is never 0.
And considering you'll be dead for an almost infinite amount of time, we're all just moments away from dying on universal time scales.
If OP plans on staying in their house until they die of old age (plausible) then the comment has nothing to do with suicide. Or maybe OP is already old and going to die soon. Or maybe they'll be hit by a car tomorrow. Or maybe they're having a heart attack/stroke/aneurysm right now.
Point is, if there is something you want to do (gift a house to the church of Satan, for example) it has to be done before you die.
Personally, I don't think we as a society talk about our deaths enough and it really isn't normalized for most people. Have you thought about the fact that the universe will still be here in 800 billion years, but your body will have been ripped to shreds and spread across the cosmos to seed new life on distant planets recently?
