8:00 PM and heading to bed because there’s nothing else to do tonight and I don’t want to deal with the cattle run out of the parks at closing time (happens when the fireworks are the same time as park closing).

The world truly did not deserve you, nor did you deserve what it did to you. The years ago, what was supposed to be “Happily Ever After” for both of us ended with quiet finality and the only choice left was to let you go.

Someone like you who loved with everything is what I will never have again.

Made the mistake of going out barefoot onto the parking lot outside after the Florida sun had been baking it the entire day, and burning my feet as a result. That circled red area was a giant blood blister until this morning when I tried to do some grocery shopping. Looked down as I was standing in the kitchen afterward and saw my sock saturated and a puddle on the kitchen floor after it had ruptured.
