The coffee this morning didn't settle well. This is probably why I don't drink coffee often or rely on it as my primary source of caffeine or comfort at breakfast time. Typically, my morning energy drinks do not irritate my stomach. But this morning's coffee ran through me well past 12pm. I'll be drinking a Monster tomorrow.
Coping with the reality that a former friend was disclosing my personal information to other people had also bothered me this morning. That was a major mistake on my part for thinking that she was ever the trustworthy type. Being that I learned of that whole mess yesterday, I'm grateful that it didn't mess up my sleep last night. It could have, but I guess I was able to put that dumb shit aside long enough for me to get my typical six hours of sleep.
Aside from those two things, my morning coffee and that ex-friend's antics, the day was decent for the most part. Thankfully, the holidays are over and it would appear that the office has returned to normal, at least the normal that I know, which isn't necessarily good. Stupidity continues to reign supreme. Laziness dominates much of the office landscape. Mediocrity remains the status quo. My work life definitely sucks going into 2026. Still, like those fake fingernails, I press on.
Tomorrow is pay day. Well, for me, I actually get paid tonight. Being that my bank is located within the Eastern Time Zone, I get paid about 9pm PST. I find that pay day makes me believe that all of the hours I work and the nonsense I put with in that office on damn near a nearly daily basis are all worth it. I guess I also like having extra money to play with after all the bills are paid and I've successfully warded off those creditors for at least another 30 days. And for record, I don't pay my bills late. Paying any money towards late fees is absolutely dumb and I refuse to do it. Call me responsible, if you like.
Without their knowing it, a few of the people in my personal circle managed to bring my spirits up today as well as yesterday, in the aftermath of the friendship woes I had been experiencing of late, as well as life being less than exciting at the moment. I don't necessarily need these people in my life, but you know what...I sure as hell WANT them here and I'm grateful for their presence. As an introvert, I know that I'm not typically fond of people, but that doesn't mean that I'm averse to all people. I want people in my life, so long as these are people who are worth being in my life. My circle exists for a reason and I tend to be quite selective.
I don't think I'll be hopping onto Battlefield 6 today. That game's not even in the PS5 at the moment. UFC 5 is. I played my first game of UFC 5 this past weekend and I thought I did well enough for my first game, only to end up getting whooped on in the end. I don't have to win every match, but I'd like to be competitive every time out. That's gonna take me some time. My training won't be happening today.
I move forward with my life and I'm looking forward to clearer skies and brighter days, both figuratively as well as literally. It didn't rain today, but thankfully, it was cold outside. Maybe it rains tomorrow or even Thursday? With a 13% chance of rain tomorrow, I'm not optimistic that any rain will hit the area.
Optimism. Now that's a good word right there. I try to be optimistic most of the time, but things always seem to happen to make me second guess myself. It doesn't take much for the pessimism to start oozing not long thereafter and for a brief moment, life momentarily sucks.
I don't know where I was going with that.
