AJ That is some sound advice me and my W had a very brief separation, but each time she came by to pick up stuff, I did my best to make the house look it's best. I even did some of the things you had suggested like hanging pictures, putting up decorations and even restocking some expendable items. She definitely noticed. Now everytime she is gone for a day or two I take the opportunity to work a little on the house. It also helps me to stay busy doing something positive, and shows that I'm not as helpless around the house as she may think I may be.
