Another poster remarked on his WAW turning into Mrs Clean right before she left. I think I get that- I have that same urge. I want to leave things neat and tidy, I have a couple pairs of pants for H that I need to finish mending, I made progress on organizing family paperwork, etc. I don't want to leave loose ends...
Watch your need to 'control' those loose ends.. they will be there regardless as you can't predict what they all will be.
I also went through the "mrs. Clean" thing, before I left most everything in house, yard, garage & barn.. neat, clean, organized.. including the stocking & organizing the pantry & freezer, cleaning out the closets & drawers, mulched flower beds, trimmed lawn, pruned trees & bushes, cleaned & organized shelves & rafters in the garage, horse & camper items in the barn...
Everything was ready for him to take over being 'in charge' of actually taking care of it all instead of just griping about how I took care of it, for a change. It was a bit overwhelming, yet cathartic as well. I think for WAS not in the throes of an affair this may be more common than not. but JMHO.

good for you.. I used craigs list, goodwill, kijiji, eBay types of places to find things to round out my household goods I needed once I moved.
you're doing great. Keep your boundaries in place & take care of you.

Taking the road less traveled because those encountered on the way may be just as unique.
