Tmrw is my raft trip down the Arkansas. I'm very excited! I haven't taken a solo raft trip without the kids or H for probably 10 yrs. Pulled out my tent, lifevest, etc. Can't seem to get the air compressor to work on my bike tire... but I'll try again in the morning. Frustrated about that b/c H always took care of the bikes, and everything, and now I have to figure out how to do it (and I don't want to!). But I'll get it or ask for help tomorrow.
We're camping outside of towm and biking into town to watch an all-female Led Zeppelin tribute band tmrw night. Should be fun!
Saw my H this week to get the bike rack. I tried to look really good, and he did seem to hestitate... explained how to work the bars rather than just giving them to me, and turning around... so, maybe a baby step. Maybe nothing as well, but it feels better than the coldness we had before.
I'm getting some male-attention at work & with friends... not to sound arrogent, but it is nice to be noticed... perhaps H is or will notice as well.
Sent a Father's Day card to my FIL and the kids signed it with sweet notes for him. Didn't get anything for H, and the kids didn't ask. I think Sun could be an odd day - for lots of us... just how do we respond, acknowledge, or not...? I felt good about the card, but we won't call him too - we'll just leave it at that. If the kids want to contact H, they'll send him a text. I don't need to know or be involved in that.
So, pretty good week. Hoping to stay in the boat tmrw (literally and figuratively). Just gotta keep going, point your toes downstream if you get thrown, and then get back on the boat ASAP!
