In The Rain in Life And Times

The rain came down pretty good today.  I'm talking cats, dogs, fat chicks (and for the record, I don't mind ladies with a bit of meat on their bones), and elephants.  Today's rain was intense.  I suppose that wasn't such a bad thing, except when I found myself outside today, battling it and having to drive through it.  I know that it's just water, but it's not fun driving through this water when it's crashing down on your windshield and it screws up your visibility.  I had some errands to run and thankfully, I handled business and made it back home safely without incident.  As i write this, the rain is still coming down pretty hard.  It's supposed to rain into next week too.  We shall see, but in the meantime, I'm enjoying this precipitation while we have it.  

My copy of UFC 5 for the PS5 finally installed...this morning.  I don't know why, but it took way the hell too long to install.  I started that install yesterday at about 2pm.  Neither Call Of Duty, nor Battlefield 6, ever take that long to install and those two franchises are notorious for being larger games to install.  Either way and regardless of how long that install took, I'm just glad that it installed successfully and that the game is now playable.      

If you've been reading and following along with some of my recent entries, you may have read that I've been at odds with a friend/former friend/lingering associate/close acquaintance.  I don't know by which label to refer to her, to be honest.  This person had accused me of taking advantage of her and things just sort of went drastically downhill from there.  She'll tell me that she didn't mean it and indeed, she apologized for making such a remark.  Just hearing this really bent me out of shape, kind of hit me square in the gut, and in general, it hit me pretty hard.  No man wants to ever this, especially from a woman (or I guess from another man, if you happen to be heterosexual).  I think what gets me more agitated by all this is that I regarded her as a friend, a really close friend at that, and then this happens.  I don't want to say that I left myself open to this kind of blow, but I did not see it coming. 

I suppose in some way, I'm dealing with this as best I can and it hasn't been easy.  I even felt kind of out of sorts not texting her today or even early in the morning as I've done daily for the past few months.  Though I'd get up ridiculously early every day of the week, to me, my day didn't officially begin until I would text her in the morning, even at the risk of waking her up.  I guess for me, it was a "good morning" ritual of sorts that would get us started off on the right foot. 

Good morning...

It just didn't happen today and I think I missed that part of what had been part of my daily routine for much of the second half of 2025. 

I don't know where I go from here.              

I didn't anticipate ending this entry so abruptly, but I've run out of things to say.  

There's a chance that I edit this entry and continue, but for the time being, I think I'll just end things right here.
