That's good 4m, and I'm with you about spring being just around the corner.
Just one thing on you going out, that para was all about your W and what she may think of a change of plans. Really, GAL is all about you, and you having the kind of life that you want to have going forwards, with or without your W. So best not to GAL and make it all about her 'possible reaction' - best to keep it all about you and you exploring nice things that life may have to offer outside of your M.
Sounds as though you are doing well my friend...
