Totally different feel to being with h last night...I met him after class and we went for pizza and beer (was gonna be martinis and apps but the place was too crowded -- hey, we're adaptable!)
Totally comfortable with each other, lots of good conversation, no feeling of weirdness on my part. Maybe it IS about the "cycle" and could be mitigated by working on the coming home/reconnecting period.
I'm planning on starting a thread over in the KLA section too -- I started listening to the tapes again. I really like to revisit Michele's stuff periodically -- makes me feel as though I won't lose sight of how far we've come and what got us there! Also, it's partly in reaction to h's comment the other day about "making it even better". One of my goals would be to chat with him about that very thing.
He just called from work -- it's very cute because he has to kind of sneak a call in. Very thoughtful and positive!!! He's off to play poker with the boys tonight My plan for the evening is exercise/yoga, doing my nails and a nice glass of white wine, a book, and the deck Quite the overachiever, no???
