Finally, because email has worked best for this in the past, I emailed him the next day to let him know I'll be in NYC easter weekend & a few days afterwards. I also included an mp3 of a really beautiful balinese gamelan recording. The next day he emailed me back his reaction to the recording, and told me what days would work for him, asked me what times would work for me. I emailed him back two days later and am waiting to hear. I think if I don't hear from him I'll wait until I'm in NYC to contact him. It really and truly is a bonus if I get to see him, I'm already there to see 4 precious friends of mine (plus the 4 friends I have who live there year round). In the past I would have tried to push the meeting to earlier so I would have a chance of seeing him twice, this time I just told him what was open and he can pick what he wants. I'm tired of trying to control everything. Besides I'll be back in the area a month later for this music festival thing in New Jersey. But I might be seeing him next week! Good thing I have been planning my outfit for like... um... over a year!!!!!!!
I feel like we are really and truly in the "Friendship" stage now. I told a good RL friend of mine who is slowly inching towards reconciliation (I think she is somewhere between stage 2.5 and stage 3.5) that it feels weird to feel so comfortable with him, it's almost like the passion is gone because the drama is gone, or something, and she said that it's totally normal, and necessary, even though it's unexpected and sort of weird.
Oh!! Finally!!! I started doing an Anusara Yoga Immersion this weekend. I was at the yoga studio for like, 14 hours total between Sat and Sun. (don't worry--only 5 hours of it was actual yoga practice, the other stuff was lecture and discussion and snack breaks). IT WAS AMAZING. I FEEL AMAZING. And yesterday I went to this special yoga practice called "Eye of The Tiger"... 3 hours long, and pretty challenging. I did awesome! I even did some things I've never done before!!!
