Tomorrow is 5 months since my husband started his new journey.
The last couple of days I've felt the need to do DIY. I have put up 2 curtain poles and 3 picture frames and felt proud of my self. All these jobs would have been Craigs jobs.
Has anyone gone through this? I still haven't moved his clothes etc but I'm not going to rush it.

P.S. As for hubby's clothes . . . no need to rush if they are not bothering you. I'm at 10.5 months and still have them here, albeit packed and put in a spare room (thanks to a neighbor). Not quite ready to part with all, but have made some small changes in the house, as are you.
