now that enough time has passed

I can say: when I broke it off with Eddie (for the second time), many of you know that he took back the "gift" he bought me for my birthday. I suppose it was a conditional "gift", that I could only have if we were dating. He even took it (the hammock!) back by trespassing onto my property in the middle of the night WHILE I WAS SLEEPING. I think perhaps this was the most insane breakup story I've had yet. So, I don't have a hammock, but I do have an Eddie-free life, which I think is best in the end.

So, Eddie. I had a rough day at work yesterday and was looking forward to some yoga. I went to Joy Yoga here in H-town, and damned if I didn't see his bloody SUV in the parking lot. I still think, no, he's only into Ashtanga, why would he stoop to this level? And I climb the stairs, see him in line to get into the studio, and I have never turned on my heel so quickly in my life. So swift was my decision NOT to interact with him again!!! What the f, man? He's invading my yoga space, too! And I have no hammock! Lisa decided that he is likely dating someone who goes to Joy, and I think that is a good assumption. Man, he moves quickly. Well, good for him. I shall just have to be on the lookout.

Another Eddie-related event was when I went to Joshua Tree National Park. I don't think I ever posted photos from that trip, so here are a couple...





There you have it.

So am going through the New to a City and Feeling a Little Lonely vibe. I know it's silly, and I have everything I need inside of me, etc etc. and I'm a yogi so I should know better, but...it's always a challenge. Tonight was walking into grocery store and a car drove by with a crying baby in back. That alone should reassure me that my life ROCKS.

Made a delicious concoction tonight of condensed milk and spices, can't wait to put it in some tea tomorrow AM and read the Times on my porch...yum yum.
