YAY T! Spreading the facercise word! I also do I on the tube in the morning- so funny! No-one ever comes near me, which is an added bonus on a crowded train!
K- I can't wait for you to join the international facercise movement. I can't recommend it highly enough. Actually I brought some pictures of my in from 15 years ago (CEO wanted to see what the young me looked like), but no-one believed the pictures were that old because I look almost the same- just a bit thinner. Hurray!!
You can get silent versions of the other things you know, but I don't think they're ever totally silent (or they wouldn't vibrate enough!!) LOL!
K, just do facercise. It is the best. Don't do another version. The lady who created it really knows what she is talking about!!
yes, I may have to invest in a more silent item.... ay yi yiiiii!!!
off to another day of rehearsals...
I had a realization a couple days ago. Who knows how long this will take. So it is even more important that I really focus on making myself happy in my own spicy world!!!
That is so awesome that you also do facercise on public transportation and no one sits next to you!!!! that is AMAZING that you look the same or BETTER than you did 15 years ago. that is a big inspiration to me to keep facercising! You are a living testimonial to the power of FACERCISE!!!
OK, my final concert of the festival is on Saturday, the one that I mentioned to B that he was invited to, but no pressure to come. Also, his concert is this coming Monday.
I am wondering if maybe it will take him 4 months to process what happened at our meeting. I am expecting maybe to hear from him possibly around... december or next ... june. I am trying to keep expectations low.
If he *really wanted* to come to my concert on Saturday, he has 4 friends-acquaintances here he could get the info from. I also would understand that it is a lot to ask someone to take the commuter rail out to NJ for an hour just to see a concert.
Also, i think if he wanted me to be there for *his* concert on monday, he would be clear about it, instead of really vague. And I understand if he doesn't want me to be there. Maybe he is not ready for me to return to his life in a full fleged way, and can only handle contained interactions isolated from everything else in his life.
So right now, I am just planning to basically do nothing. *But* is that what I should be doing???
Did you send him that e-mail about it being nice to meet up? And did he reply? I guess not yet as you haven't posted about it.
Give him some time- it was quite a big thing to meet up this week, and I'm sure he's processing in his cave. If he hasn't contacted you by Friday, maybe think about sending him a funny e-mail or something (but I'm not sure as you did make contact by sending him te follow-up e-mail).
Havee you read the Time Traveller's Wife? She was always waiting- just like us. Waiting, waiting......
I think doing nothing right now is definitely right, and keeping your expectations low. Yours are SUPER-low! I'm going to take a lesson from you there!
K, OD is totally serious, there is a special chapter on a modified series of exercises you can do in the car!!!

Lisa, you are so smart!!! I think you're totally right!! I am so glad I understand the Man Cave now. I don't have to take the silence personally!!

I did send him a 4 line it was nice to see you again email with a link to the mother uckers flight of the concords video. I haven't gotten a personal email from him, but just now I got a Mass Email from him:
Hello!
I am playing my first solo show here in NYC next Monday, June 16, 7pm at the XXXXX Lounge. I'll be playing some Bluegrass, Bach, Improv, and maybe a cover or two. I'll be belting out the lyrics with my highly untrained voice, and accompanying myself with my own fiddle. All in all, I'm going to have a blast and I invite you to join me! So come on down to the XXXXX Lounge and bring a friend or two!
B
He attached the flyer/poster, which is a HOT picture of him. Funny, all the other pictures he's pointed me to online have been NOT HOT. Looking at this hot picture fills me with many conflicted emotions, including both yearning and anger!!
So, what do I do? I am not sure whether or not he actually wants me to come. I may have unwittingly backed him into a corner on this one. If he didn't include me in his mass email then he would have obviously been slighting me. But he might not actually want me to be there.
If he was "just a friend", the "friendly" thing for me to do would be to go to the concert to support him.
????
Should I ask him something like, "Do you want me to come? I understand if you don't want me to be there, and I will not be offended. But I am very interested in hearing you play, and I want to support your concert." Or would that be too close to having an R talk or an R email?
OR... I could reciprocate by sending HIM a mass email inviting him to MY concert on Saturday. Even though I'm not sure if I would want him to be there... I am feeling super ASS about my playing right now. My part is HARD....
Positives: -he included me in his email -now I know where his concert is if I want to go -he looks hot in the picture, which is reassuring, esp with all this.... BEARD business!!!
Maybe I could go and slip in as unseen as possible... so as not to disturb his concentration...
if you guys think I should go then it's time for me to start planning my next *outfit*
