Stillness

Heeeeyooo.



Just thought I'd update for the sake of updating.

Not a lot of change here in terms of the sitch. W is out of the country at this point, so n/c is probably the default state of things. That's fine. I really don't struggle with this anymore. Just some light urges here and there.

Been going to yoga more often - I find that if I don't go, I notice it a lot. Enjoying the whole somatic experience of it. Some of those poses hurt me in a way that my WAW could never ever try to.

Had a great meeting w/ someone @ the company I want to be working for. It was the 2nd time in my life I've ever done that kind of thing, so I was proud of myself for doing it, and I felt like it went very well. Its nice to talk to people and not feel like you have to break through their shields of narcissism to actually communicate. Hopefully my followup note will lead to a couple more connections and more info. about the gig.

Birthday was fun but a little dull. Parents brought up a nice bottle of single malt so I'm enjoying that - responsibly, of course.

GAL this week has been good - went bowling yesterday with friends and met some new people. I have been meditating more lately because I picked up a book on mindfulness and it gave me some new insights. I actually fell asleep the other night while meditating and woke up at 3am. First time that's ever happened to me.

Some stuff has come in the mail for WAW. Not really sure what to do with it, with her being out of the country and all. She mentioned that she was having her mail forwarded to her parents since she doesn't have a place here until she gets back. I guess I can just throw it all in a flat rate box and send it along to them. I should probably give them a heads up, though, which means contact with them. I have no clue what they think about any of this stuff - haven't actually spoken w/ them since last thanksgiving. I guess ought to script that -

"Hi WAW PARENTS,

I am going to send some mail and other items to you, since WAW is out of the country. Some of the mail seems like it might be time sensitive, but I'll leave it up to your discretion how to deal with it.

Hope you're well,
ME"

That work?
