happy Memorial Day

 

i hope everyone has a safe and happy Memorial Day.

yesterday was one of those days where nothing went my way.

the Yankees got swept by the shitty Detroit Tigers, 6-2. they start a series this afternoon at home against Tampa. they are 4 1/2 games behind them in the division.

the USMNT lost to Switzerland yesterday in a soccer friendly, 2-1.

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs yesterday:

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs yesterday:

i did watch some of the Indy 500 yesterday and the Coca Cola 600 as well.

the finale of Mare of Easttown was fucking great last night.

The Chi was really good last night.

Black Monday was pretty funny last night.

Flatbush Misdemeanors was very good last night.

Ziwe was brilliant last night.

to top everything off for yesterday, the bread i bought on Wednesday already had mold on it. good times.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

i do plan on watching some of the NBA and NHL playoffs tonight.

i will probably watch some of the NCAA Lacrosse national championship today. Maryland will be facing Virginia.

i did some work outside this morning. i got the new birdfeeder station up. mom doesn't remember it being as tall as it is. but, i've got it pretty close to our front window, so she should be able to see the birds pretty good when they are on the feeders. i also watered the tomatoes in the back and took some old chairs to the front of the house. i think we're throwing them away since a good portion of the wood is rotted out. i picked up some weeds and filled the rest of the bird feeders. so, i'm done outside for the rest of today. 

i'm going to take a shower here shortly and probably get to icing my back down for the rest of the day.

at least i know i will have 1 drink tonight. 

team USA won at the Hockey Worlds this morning, 2-0 over Germany. i'm pretty sure they are guaranteed to make the quarterfinals now.

welcome to the weekend

 i got up early this morning and fed the birds. it was 45 degrees outside, so i didn't bother to water the plants. that damn cold front came through yesterday. i had to turn the damn furnace back on last night.

a rainy Friday...

 of course, it had to be rainy today. i had to go out and get money out of the ATM for mom. i figured while i was down there, i would look for some baseball cards. of course, there was none. i had to go to Kroger to get her one prescription and what she forgot to put on the grocery list. and of course, by the time i got back home, the rain was ending. fuck me.

the Yankees spilt their doubleheader yesterday against Toronto. they lost the first game 2-0 and won the second game, 5-3. they start a series tonight in Detroit.

response from Cajun Mutt Press...

 i heard back from the fine folks at Cajun Mutt Press on my recent poetry submission. my poem "this digital wasteland" has been accepted for publication. it is scheduled to appear on August 6th.

absolutely gutted...

 so, Manchester United lost yesterday in the Europa League final to Villarreal 1-1 (11-10) in one of the crazier penalty shootouts i have ever seen. given some time to think about shit, i might be even more upset today than i was in the moment yesterday. i saw in the papers from Manchester this morning that on 3 different occasions, David de Gea went with his gut instead of what he was told to do while trying to make saves. if one of those times is a save, then United wins the damn thing and it never comes down to the goalies taking shots. and honestly, he's been at the club for a decade now, it is time to move on.

the Yankees were rained out last night so they are playing a doubleheader today against Toronto.

the finale of The Masked Singer was very good last night. i did guess the Piglet correct.

i did watch the Friends reunion special on HBO Max earlier today. i thought it was pretty good and certainly brought back some memories.

it was fucking pouring yesterday while i was grocery shopping. arthritis won the day for sure. i didn't get home until around 3:20. i did find some hockey cards yesterday. i got a rookie box set from Upper Deck. 25 cards of all the top rookies from this past season.

so the Yankees had some injury news come out yesterday. Corey Kluber has been shut down for 2 months with his shoulder strain. not a good sign. Luke Voit is out with a Grade 2 injury to his oblique. that's probably a good 2 months there as well. add that into the Manchester United misery from yesterday and you should know by now that yesterday was one of those days i would love to forget it ever happened. sadly, i'm not blessed with that ability.

i will probably be on here tomorrow in the afternoon. i think mom might want to go out shopping tomorrow at Big Lots. not sure yet. it all kind of depends on how she is feeling in the moment. i have learned there are no such thing as plans as you get closer to death.

i did see team USA win at the Hockey Worlds today over Latvia, 4-2.

i need to go test out the new garden hose i bought yesterday. it was on sale and i'm hoping it will be one that lasts for awhile.

 i'm hoping to get all my shopping done today to watch the Europa League final between Manchester United and Villarreal this afternoon. i'm really hoping United plays its best game of the season today and wins.

the Yankees lost last night, 6-2, to Toronto. Corey Kluber only pitched 3 innings and left the game with right shoulder tightness. the same injury he missed last season with. he gets a MRI today. oh great.

NXT was really good last night.

Deadliest Catch was good last night.

the finale of The Voice was excellent last night. i am so happy that Cam won.

both episodes of Mr. Inbetween were darkly hilarious last night.

up into the 90's...

 i tried the AC in the Highlander today and it was more or less just moving around hot air. so, as my father taught me as a child, windows down and drive fast. that's your air conditioning. 

mom's doctor's appointment went well today. i think she liked this new doctor. he was pretty thorough and a good listener. she had to have some blood drawn afterwards. i'm hoping all her numbers are still good. she didn't bruise too bad from her fall yesterday. i took her to Burger King after the appointment so she could get her frozen Coke she loves so much. you know, whatever i have to do to stay in the will.

Monday Night Raw was ok last night.

The Voice was very good last night. i have no damn clue who is going to win tonight.

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

i did watch team USA win this morning at the World Hockey Championships. they won 3-0 over Kazakhstan.

not the day i was expecting...

 so, i got up around 7:30 this morning to take a piss. while i was in the bathroom, i heard a thud. i asked my mother if she just fell out of bed? she said yeah. i hurried up and finished and got to her. i think, at first, she was more embarrassed than anything. of course, when she saw the cut on her arm and the bruise forming near her eye, she realized it was more than just embarrassment. this will be fun tomorrow at the doctor's office, especially since she likes to make jokes about me being mean to her and threatening her, etc. 

it's been in the 80's today, so i have spent the majority of the day inside. 

the Yankees pissed away a lead yesterday, but still found a way to sweep the White Sox., 5-4. they are off today and start a series with Toronto tomorrow night.

Manchester United made 10 changes to the lineup yesterday, mostly because of the Europa League final coming up. they defeated Wolves, 2-1. they finished in second place for this season in the Premier League. they also finished the season undefeated in the league on the road. first time they have EVER done that and only the 4th team to do so. now, they just need to win that Europa League final and get the right players in the summer to go win another Premier League and/or Champions League final.

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs yesterday:

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs yesterday:

i was really happy that Obi Toppin got to play and score for the Knicks yesterday, even though they ended up losing to Atlanta.

i did see that team USA won yesterday at the World Hockey Championships. they defeated Canada 5-1 a day after they lost to Finland, 2-1.

Axios was good last night.

Mare of Easttown was great last night. i can't fucking wait for the finale next week.

always fun to feel the sweat before 9 in the morning...

 i got up early this morning to fill the bird feeders and water the plants. it was already humid enough that i was sweating just walking around outside. good times.

i got my laundry done around midnight. being outside the last couple of days hasn't exactly helped my back at all. hopefully, i can get the water warm enough when i take my shower that my back will loosen up some.

Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night.

Pause with Sam Jay was excellent last night.

A Black Lady Sketch Show was fucking hilarious last night.

the Yankees turned a triple play last night against the White Sox. and then, they walked off a victory over them, 2-1. hopefully they will win again this afternoon.

out and about...

 so, mom had me go to Lowe's today to get some potting soil and Miracle Gro. of course, i ended up getting more than i was supposed to. but, as she said, she'd rather have more than she needed than not enough. i also found some suet there i want to try since we're going to have another suet feeder once the new bird station gets put up. then, i had to go to Kroger to get some of her pills. everywhere around here is basically if you are fully vaccinated, you don't have to wear a mask. i wore mine anyways, mostly because i don't trust any of these fuckers.

once i got back home, i had to take everything to the back porch. we got for the back porch a set of chairs and a table from next door. we've never had anything like this ever. of course, none of the chairs are wide enough for me to sit in. good times. she finally put the tomato plants in the thing we got her a year ago. she also wants to try to grow these flowers for butterflies. i think i got her the box about 3 years ago. if anything comes up, i will be shocked.

so, yeah, that has been most of my day. and now i need to do my laundry, so this will be a quick blog.
