She had a birthday this past week. I know that I'm writing about it, but honestly, I don't care. This is one of those rare instances where I'm upset that I have a memory for dumb shit like that. We aren't friends anymore. I didn't wish her a Happy Birthday and I had zero intention of doing so. I still have no reason to extend myself like that. She's a year older now. Wooptie damn doo. It's called "aging". We all do it.
The high today in this region of Southern California was supposed to be 93 degrees, though I don't know if it ever really got that hot. My phone said that it was 91 and I don't think temperatures got higher than that. Either way, that's still way too damn hot for early spring. If there was ever some kind of consolation, potentially anyway, it's that rain is in the forecast this coming week. The area could see rain as early as Tuesday. Yeah, we shall see what that does to temperatures. The forecast says it'll be 72 and rainy on Tuesday. We shall see.
I may have written about this in a previous entry, but gasoline prices at the local Chevron station remain high as hell. A gallon of regular unleaded gasoline still sits at $6.19. I didn't look closely, at least not enough to remember the exact amount, but a gallon of diesel gasoline is well over $8.00. I am grateful, I suppose, that the old Honda doesn't run on diesel fuel. These damn gas prices make you not want to drive anymore, that's for sure. I have no choice. I'm not walking to work at 4:30am and I damn sure won't want to walk home at the end of the work day, not in this current heat. I suppose I'll just use the Honda's air conditioner sparingly, if at all, though truth be told, the AC in the car doesn't work all that well anyway. It's an old car. Oh yeah, this coming summer is going to be brutal.
I don't have much going on in my life. It's pretty much work, work, and even more work. Sometimes I visit the gas station. Sometimes I interact with people by text message. Sometimes I'm forced to talk to people in real life. All of that can be very, very draining, but I push on.
I'm just hoping that this coming week doesn't suck, even if it does happen to rain. Rain would actually be a good thing.
