Okay, hiked up and down a 1000 foot peak twice today (total 6 miles) with my heavy hiking boots on and a 20 lb. pack. 10 days to Mt. Whitney! Feeling a little panicky that I am pretty sore tonite, hopefully this training this week will pay off in terms of not being as sore next week when I am actually climbing. H is gone on a 5 day backcountry ski trip starting today, so he will be all buffed out and fully accustomed to the altitude by next week - good, then he can carry all my heavy gear!
Haven't been writing much lately on my thread - we had a little backsliding last week, I messed up a deadline on some paperwork that may end up delaying me going back to work. Felt like a real idiot about it, but hey, I HAVE had a little bit on my mind the past few months. H was surprisingly supportive at first, but a few days later turned into "angry guy" - that ogre I USED to live with. It was scary to feel like I was back in that horrible place, but at least we both can see some of the dynamics that got us there. He finally stopped himself mid-rant, and things started to get better from there. Then he went on a 3 day business trip (which I couldn't go with him on because my mom was out of town and didn't have anyone to watch the kids) and he missed me terribly.
When he came home, we had a nice reunion. He told me later it was the best sex he ever had - kind of funny, because while it WAS great, it wasn't really any more spectacular than usual I thought. I think maybe he was just allowing himself to feel a little more of the love and closeness, you know? How great is that?
