Today I report for jury duty. It's my first go at it. After seeing several programs on TV about gross miscarriages of justice, I welcome the opportunity to do my civic duty and try to insure that doesn't happen on my watch. But I'll probably end up with a case of drunk and disorderly or some such thing. Hope it's not some long, drawn-out trial, though as I can't afford the time off from work.
Other big news is that the new "relationship" is now an "old" relationship, by mutual agreement. Nice when it happens that way. Shows you've got something in common after all. Also much less taxing for both parties. We just didn't have much in common from our taste in music (a song that just knocks me out and sends me reeling, emotionally, he said put him to sleep), to what we wanted out of a relatioship. He wants someone who makes him feel whole and I don't want that responsibility. I feel I'm already whole and just want to enhance my life and have fun being together. Turns out we simply live in two different worlds.
We've agreed to remain friends, but I don't expect much to come from that for the same reason we decided not to continue the "romantic" part. So, another one bites the dust. That's okay since I found it very difficult to conduct a romance from the confines of this cramped RV that's still home and likely will be for awhile.
Have to get ready for my first day of jury duty and will talk more about the "home" front at another time.
Syonara!
I wish I'd had a great goodbye line for the last boyfriend. He knew it was time to go for a long time and he knew I wanted him to go. But, I think I was a great emotional security blanket for him and he had a hard time letting go. I think it is very draining to be with a very needy person.

Great quote:
He wants someone who makes him feel whole and ... I feel I'm already whole
If only that breakup line actually worked! It'd be genius!
