3day weekends are the best. It is fantastic news that you are steadily improving. I find when I don't have to see or speak to H when he disappears on weekends, I am more relaxed and happy, so it doesn't surprise me that your nc is having an effect on you. I think it removes some of the stress that this all places on us. Gives some breathing space to really focus on you.
I love getting new things for the house, you are getting an outdoor setting, I am getting a new umbrella and BBQ since the new owners of our old house got our other one.
