I want to take back my home. I want to clean, reorganize, and redecorate but every time I touch something, I get a flood of memories because after two years, there's very little space in my condo that hasn't been touched by him. The laundry room was one of those areas not touched so I thought I could tackle that first. Yesterday it was scrubbed top to bottom. I dare say no-one has a laundry room as shiny as mine.

Today I'm going to store all of our travel equipment in the shed so I don't have to think of that anymore. Right now it's in my living room right where he dumped it off when he left.

I will keep working through my home, inch by inch, until it is all mine again.

That's a really good idea, and it sounds like fun too! I'm remodeling my laundry room right now too... of course I am missing walls and made an enormous mess, but it's still a lot of fun (my kind of fun, at least). Keep working on that, I think it will make a big difference once you've brought more of you into the house and gotten more of him out!
