T, Sounds like the new assignment is going to be fun and yes, keep your busy as well. You'll enjoy this assignment becasue of the energy level. You needed a bit of a change and the man upstairs made sure you got it.
Your wife is working through her issues nicely and yes, she's starting to learn how to acknowledge the things that you do. This is a major step in the right direction because she's more aware of you and how you are dealing w/things, etc.
She'll get through the self absorption in time. She will need to learn what is a big deal and what is not...allow her to stumble a bit in order to learn from this.
BTW, I have heard the comment that the female writer wrote about concern physical versus emotional intimacy.
Don't worry...as she continues to move forward, the depression will melt and the feelings for you will return. Keep in mind, she is still suffering from depression and it will take time for the fog to lift completely...patience, my friend. Good things come to those who wait.
Enjoy the new assignment!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
