Yep, right here! Been dealing with another newbie in a bit of a crisis today, but I'm following along when I can.
Yes, make yourself a short list (so that you can end up checking most of it off as ACCOMPLISHED) going into each weekend. Keep yourself busy, and physical labor stuff like you've got planned on the house is ALWAYS good for the soul!
I've got a ton of great non-fiction, self-help/relationship-type books I can suggest, but sometimes it's good to just curl up with a great BIOGRAPHY or even some great FICTION sometimes. Read about Churchill, or Lincoln, or someone from history whose strength and resolve you admired.
