There is quite a bit of his stuff here, as he moved to a furnished apt. I can't really move or hide the china cabinet, or the big bookshelves.
The hallway wall is hung with family photos, mostly his. They really don't bother me. I took down photos of "us" early on. Bought some new furniture.
I had to take apart the big sectional desk thing to make the study into a bedroom for the roomie. I put half into my bedroom, so now it is like living in college, where every thing you have is in your "room." Still re-arranging for the roomie.
I would get rid of the desk thing entirely, except as it is still an 'ours' and 'ours' hasn't been legally decided yet, I can't really toss it. I could stuff it in the garage if I get motivated enough.
My lawyer is really pushing me to separate the emotions from the finances--and she claims she isn't a therapist! Really pushing that I find that $ amount I would be willing to sell for. Really pushing to avoid court.
I know she is right.
Processing, processing.
