With uncharacteristically sublime timing and verbiage, I got us into a breakup conversation that was the kindest, most civil and caring one I've ever had. Hard to argue with the heart problems and needing to be where the doctors are a lot less likely to kill me by accident...
Two days later, it seems more like a stretch out than a break up, but I'm not sweating that. I can't take any more chaos, stress or drama, so I'm going to let things stand. The love is there, so why kick it to the curb? The world needs more love -- at least, mine does.
Given the year we meant to take to see if this would (or should) work out, it's reasonable to take that time to figure out what shape this connection -- with its own strange, resilient, unique strength -- should really look like.
I'm getting a healing break with an old friend whose life includes just the right mix of rest and activity, good food and indulgence, solitude and society.
Meanwhile, J is going to wash my car inside and out, and pull everything out of it and put it into storage so I can sort it back in more rationally -- as I've intended to for months. I didn't even think of that, let alone hint, I swear! He just thought it up himself, to make my life nicer and more manageable.
I'll bounce back to J's in early February to get my stuff and get the last business sorted, then go to LA to see my doctor and find a place to stay that meets my needs for awhile -- where he could come visit and try for some reality checks.
Anybody got a place in the warmer parts of the San Gabriel range for under $500/month? Where my lovely wolfish un-boyfriend can bring his considerably better-behaved dog? :-)
