Day 29- Another trip out of town

Aug 25, 2011

Today marks the 29th day since my surgery.  I am definitely having another low energy day but managed to get quite a bit of work done from home.  This evening, I dragged myself and the foster pup out of the house and went and watched the hubby play softball.  It was nice to get out of the house and actually made me feel way better!  We even got a little exercise (not much) by walking around the field. 

Tomorrow, I am heading up north to my brother's land (the future site of his house) and camping for the weekend with my dad and mom.  The hubby has grad school orientation so although I will miss him, he's not coming.  I think I'm moreso disappointed because it's the weekend before our anniversary (Monday it will be two years for us) and he hasn't said a word about it. 

As for our anniversary, I just have this feeling that come Monday I am going to be majorly disappointed in him because he'll either 1- forget, 2- wait until the last minute and buy me some crappy chocolate bar I can't eat or 3-have to play kickball that night and totally blow it off.  I know I should give him more credit than that but I'm disappointed enough that he hasn't even mentioned it.  I, on the other hand, spent $130 for something I know he really wants and was planning to do something sweet like make dinner, leave him sweet notes or other romantic things I have been mulling over.  It has been kind of a rough go for us lately and I just want so hard for him to TRY at our relationship and haven't seen much true effort from him lately.  It's all half ass with a grumble.  Even when he tries to do something nice, it's covered by a smart ass comment or a derogatory remark.  But I know I should have more faith in him...I am just struggling with it.  ..ugh...I digress.  This isn't a relationship blog so I'll stop now. 

Back to camping.  So I think this weekend will be a lot easier than last weekend.  One because I will be with people who are very sympathetic to the cause.  My parents both had WLS surgery and understand what I am going through.  My brother and his wife are super cool about it, too.  And we won't be eating out.  I'm making up some egg salad and chicken salad tonight along with some beef jerky and greek yogurt and other snacks so I'll have plenty to snack on.  I'm even going to try to bring my magic bullet and some milk so I can have my protein shakes.  Hopefully it will be a camping success. 

Well, off to bed.  It's going to be a long day tomorrow and a lot of driving up north!
