Good goals Sep. I think Jen is right, it's all in the phrasing. Make them your mantra! Keep repeating them in your brain till they stick or until your head hurts, whichever comes first!
It is hard/frustrating to set goals when you have minimal contact with your H. But you have a good start here and hopefully things will start to move forward and you can build a really good foundation in stage one (friendship) so that you can move forward on solid ground.
