Thanks for checking in on me OSU and Whapu. I just love visitors.
Whapu--I live within a couple hours of Yellowstone...you mentioned Multnomah Falls a while ago, so I have a pretty good idea of your general location. That's a beautiful place.
Weather is warmish, but WINDY today. Yuk.
Speaking of H and his quad, he's on an all week trip with his dad and brothers and will leave from there for another week on the road for his company. That's the part that isn't thrilling for me, as he will visit both locations of his affairs. I'm handling it so far though. Have to deal with it sooner or later.
As far as thawing him...he's been calling at least twice a day so far, and that's good. Last night I sent him an email with a pic of me blowing him a kiss and told him I'm glad he's having a good time.
I'm gathering ideas for ways I can speak love to him without appearing weak/needy/pressuring. Here's my list so far, I'd appreciate any input anyone would like to share:
-D1's 1st birthday is next week, and H will be gone, so I offered to hold off on her party until he gets back -I'm using pet names for him occasionally -Expressing thanks for things he does, big and small -Sincere daily compliment (specific)...need to look for opportunities to compliment him in front of others too -Head/back/foot rubs when appropriate -Keep fridge stocked with his favorite soda, and make sure I have his favorite snacks in the house -Keep his side of the closet clear -Work on finding ways to spend more time together: go riding, get a sitter and spend some shop time with him, lunches -Make one of his favorite meals at least once a week -He seems to be open to me calling him just to say hi, etc., but I've pretty much quit all of that. Possibly I could start once a day?
I guess a lot of this hinges on whether anything happens next week or not. I don't want to have my head in the sand, but I think it's going to be fine. The truth is making itself known.
