The time part is hard. although I have grown more patient with age, I am still a very impatient person. Good idea on the just letting her know I am going part, maybe she will even be interested in what we talked about (she has been with my therapist appt's).
As far as GAL, I made the mistake of not developing friendships when we moved to our current location. I am big into cycling so once the warm season rolls around, I will be set up there. I joined a local bike club right after the bomb and started meeting people but the season ended pretty quickly. I'm really looking forward to that starting back up again. I am a gym rat right now and going almost every day and it really helps with the PMA. Got back into playing guitar a couple of years ago but have been slack about doing it so I can spend some effort there. I also thought about taking a French course at the local community college.
I think I can find a lot to do, I just need to refocus my energy and give my W a break from me always being around.
