That mental space gets less and less as the days and months go on. I can't imagine going through in-house separation and each spouse probably not getting the time and space they need to process everything emotionally. IMO the quicker you find yourself and come to a place of internal happiness the quicker you will recover emotionally.
Did you get your first workout in this am? When I was growing up my buddies dad built himself a home gym in his garage and he hung mirrors all over the walls and on the ceiling. It was pretty cool....he always had the music cranked and was working out when I came over. Sleeves rolled up with a smoke hanging out of his mouth. Almost American Beauty style!
Sounds like your place is really coming along. Has your W seen it yet? Do the kids like it?
