Brit, The social stuff is kind of a given with me. My best friend is on mat leave too right now so we socialize a lot. I have a large group of friends that I see regularly at get togethers, lunches, etc. In fact we're in the process of planning a girls night with dinner and a LOT of wine!
That's good!

Being comfortable with yourself is a difficult step. I don't think too many people are really good at it. It's tough to keep busy and avoid getting into a bad cycle of feeling bad about yourself.
I'm curious - How much time spent with your H would you consider 'useful'. I'm starting to notice how little I get done with W around, and how much time I waste doing stuff for everyone else. Last night I got nothing done and ended up going to bed late. Normally a Monday night would be 3-4hrs of time to do useful things for myself.
