Thanks for the advice, R2C. Getting a haircut today, and maybe I'll go shopping for some new clothes before I head back home.

I'll definitely be staying busy for the 5 days that I'm home - no idea if she'll be around to notice, but I'll be out regardless. Planning to meet up with a buddy or two over the weekend, and take the dog out for hikes a lot. Feeling so much better about myself since this process began; if W opens her eyes she'll see a different person.
