and I have landed back in California! It was great to see Richard, but I have to start off by saying I really, really love California. I don't think I can love ALL of California the way I have loved most of the places I have lived here (i.e. Victorville) but at least there are mountains, places to go, things to do, and DIVERSITY.
Back to topic, Richard and I had a nice visit this weekend in Kansas City. He is actually living in a place called Olathe. It was interesting seeing him in such a different environment. He is living in this Temporary housing apartment home. It is already furnished with everything a corporate traveler might need, and has a clubhouse with a gym, pool, DVD rentals, and gameroom. It is a pretty sweet deal, but strange seeing him in surroundings that so are not him or his style.
The trip itself was pleasant. I always enjoy seeing new places. We went to a great bar Friday night and enjoyed the art museum and World War I Museum on Saturday. The rest of the time we just ate food and relaxed, enjoying each other's company.
We had a conversation Sunday evening about the status of the relationship and how we are both are doing. We both admitted that we aren't happy. But we are still in the place I discussed last time. Neither ready to quit, neither ready to give up. We briefly discussed other alternate options such as taking a break or seeing other people. For now, we agreed that those alternate options will only end up in us breaking up, so we aren't ready to go down those roads yet either. So, as usual, no new news really to report. No updates on how long he will be there, or where he will be heading next. And no idea when I will see him again. Hopefully the 14th but quite possibly not until Thanksgiving. So much for my undying need of having a plan. Perhaps my next post will be about the unyielding flexibility required in making a LDR work.
