and i'm not talking about the NHL trade deadline with the subject heading, more on that later. no, i'm talking about my trip to Kroger today. they texted me yesterday to tell me my Jardiance was ready to pick up at $242.50. the last two times i got it, it was $45. so, i did my due diligence and tried to find a way to get it cheaper. so, i thought i found something going through GoodRx, and filled out the form and got a card, etc. so, i showed that at the pharmacy today and the lady told me they weren't accepting this, you're not in the system. this is the exact fucking reason why i wanted Obama when he changed the healthcare in this country to cut out the fucking insurance companies completely. there is no fucking reason on earth i should pay $242.50 for a medicine that i paid $45 for a month ago. what is the fucking point of having insurance. as i told my mother when i got home, all this truly is is further proof of why it is more cost effective to die than live. they wonder why there are so many fucking suicides... so, i really hope my bets hit tonight as i need the fucking money now. not how i was hoping any of this was going to go.
now, for the trade deadline. i was hoping the Rangers might make a stunner today, but wasn't expecting one. they did make a trade last night after i got the blog done. as for today, they made a minor trade with Buffalo. there was some big trades today, mostly involving Boston, Dallas, Florida, etc.
now comes the sprint to the playoffs.
Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage was pretty good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and Real Time with Bill Maher.
the Dayton Flyers play tonight at VCU. if Dayton wins, they will get a double bye in the A10 tournament and be the 3 seed. if they lose, who knows. but, if they lose, i'm hoping they do so by less than 9 points, if you know what i mean.
i'm going to try to be on here tomorrow before the New York Rangers play in the afternoon.
i have no clue what i am making for dinner tonight.
i do know, i need to vacuum the house, so i'll be doing that after i get this done.
i didn't get any writing done last night. apparently, my lack of sleep over the last 35 years or so is catching up with me. my arthritis was raging last night and apparently, my massage chair was too good for me to get up from. that being said, i do have at least one poem swimming in my head that i need to get down on paper soon.
until tomorrow kids...
i hope everyone has a great weekend.

the Yankees lost at home to the Royals, 4-2. the series is now 1-1. Game 3 will be at the Royals.
the New Orleans Saints lost last night at the Chiefs, 26-13. Derek Carr injured his oblique last night and will be out for the next couple of weeks. neither of the Saints backups have much experience, so what i thought was going to be a great season now has turned to absolute shit.
The Voice was pretty good last night.
Monday Night Raw was good last night.
mom and i got our COVID vaccines today at Kroger. thankfully, i made the appointments online and that saved a ton of time. we were done before mom's appointment was supposed to start. joy.
i think i was so angry last night that i actually got close to 6 hours of sleep.

i have done my best to try to do nothing today. not exactly possible, but a fucker can dream right. i did have a few funny lines pop in my head for a poem, but i haven't been able to fully flush it out yet. so, i am looking forward to that. i didn't sleep well at all. mom for some fucking reason was talking loud as fuck to herself at 5:46 AM. that woke me up. i was able to get back to sleep until i woke up at 7:10. i might have got a hour or two watching the hockey game this afternoon. needless to say, i know i will get my best sleep when i die.
Big Brother was good last night. Kimo got evicted. Chelsie is the new HOH, so she will be in the final 3.
The Old Man was excellent last night.
NJPW was another rerun last night. so, i did watch some of the baseball and NFL games last night.

i will probably be on here tomorrow in the morning, most likely.
so, Rite Aid texted me today to say my prescription was ready. i was hoping it was my test strips to take my blood sugar in the morning but of course, it wasn't. i asked the lady at the pharmacy if my test strips had come in as they texted me on last Thursday and said they were ordering them. she checked and said no. i told her i am down to my last strip so i will be out of them tomorrow morning. she said to check tomorrow to see if they are in and if not, they will come up with something. ah, modern medicine.
the NHL season starts back up today. the New York Rangers will play their first game on Thursday at Buffalo.
Monday Night Raw was very good last night.
The Voice was good last night.
i did catch some of the Monday night football game last night. i was one clanked field goal away from making some money. good times.

the heat today was oppressive for sure. it was classic Ohio in the summer, but it felt like an August heat. the air you can wear. and it was like that from the moment i woke up. of course, i didn't fall asleep to almost 5 in the fucking morning. i was hoping i would get some poems written but that never happened last night. one thing that happens to me in the summer is i have so much other shit i am interested in, the poet in me tends to get lost in the shuffle. every once in a while, i have to blow up that fucker's ego and just go for it. of course, i would love to not have to jump through any fucking hoops. but that utopia has always been foreign to me.
so, the doctor's appointment went well yesterday. my weight was down. my A1C was down. my blood pressure was perfect. hell, the appointment was shorter than the drive there. i will have to do some bloodwork and a urine sample before my next appointment. that is in September.
the baseball cards from Repacked Wax yesterday were excellent. i spent a little under $40 on the 10 packs. there was close to $80 worth of cards in them. that is why i keep buying from them. the best card in the packs was a 1973 Topps Tom Seaver.
the Yankees lost last night down at that dump in Tampa, 5-4. hopefully, they will win the series tonight.
i did watch some of the NHL awards last night. Igor Shesterkin won the Vezina trophy. i have a feeling it won't be the last time he wins it.
NXT was pretty good last night.
Deadliest Catch was really good last night.
Holey Moley was crazy as usual last night.
enjoy some music:

Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final is tonight.
the grocery shopping went pretty well today. i was able to keep the bill under $100 at Kroger today. that was a minor miracle.
mom's injection worked for the most part. she knows it can't take away all the pain, but it has taken away a good portion of it.
she is going to try to go to physical therapy tomorrow. so, i'm going to try to get the blog done in the morning so i won't be trying to squeeze it in tomorrow night.
there are storms all around us but no rain here as i am writing this. but my arthritis doesn't know that. fuck me.

i just love that we're in October and it is still fucking hot. thankfully, the damn humidity finally broke this afternoon and i could open up the house a bit. i guess maybe we'll have a couple of weeks of fall before winter hits.
The Voice was pretty good last night. hopefully, it will be tonight as well.
Monday Night Raw was ok last night. it should have been better.
i did catch a little of the Ravens come from behind win against the Colts last night.

the NHL season starts tonight. i will probably check out some of both games tonight. the New York Rangers season starts tomorrow.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done. i saw the grocery list right before i started writing this. it is a scroll. so, i will probably start a little early tomorrow.
i need to pick up the trash around here and get ready to make dinner, so that's all for me kids.
this has been a quiet Saturday so far. that will change in a hour or so for sure.
the Yankees got rained out last night. that means they will play a split doubleheader tomorrow against the Mets. hopefully, they will go into those games after a win over the Mets this afternoon.
Smackdown and 205 Live were both really good last night.
here are your highlights from Game 3 of the Stanley Cup final:
at the Euro 2020 yesterday, Spain defeated Switzerland 1-1 (3-1) on penalty kicks. Italy defeated Belgium, 2-1. today, Czech Republic will play Denmark and England plays Ukraine.
at the Copa America yesterday, Peru defeated Paraguay 3-3 (4-3) on penalty kicks in one of the crazier games i have seen in a long while. Brazil defeated Chile last night, 1-0. tonight, Uruguay plays Colombia and Argentina takes on Ecuador.
i did go to the local grocery store yesterday to get a few things. i was pretty happy that i was out of there in less than 10 minutes.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be ROH.
i'm sure i'll watch the NBA playoffs tonight as well as some MLS today.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i know i don't have any plans for the Fourth of July, but when living with someone who thinks every other moment she is having a heart attack, that could always change.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

i'm looking forward to this NHL season. i'm hoping Covid doesn't fuck with it too much, even though it has already fucked the Dallas Stars from starting their season on time. the Rangers start tomorrow night at home against the Islanders.
i did get all the grocery shopping done today. i stopped by Meijer because i needed some more sheets for the baseball cards. i was hoping to find some baseball cards today but none of the places i went had any. so, i picked up a tin of hockey cards at Meijer. i have never bought one of these tins before. there was 10 packs in the tin plus a bonus back of rookies. other than the rookie cards and a few cool inserts, the best thing about the tin was that Connor McDavid was on the front of it. i won't be buying another one, that's for sure. live and learn.

the Dayton Flyers play at home tonight against Duquesne. Dayton should win this game, but i won't believe until i see it. i have learned my lesson already this season.
i made my eye appointment for next week. i believe it's next Tuesday afternoon. i wanted to get it done before my birthday. i need to get my license renewed as well, but i can't imagine what kind of shit show is going on at the DMV. i know Ohio has given us an extra 6 months to get this kind of shit done, so i think it's going to depend on the weather when i happen to go. and considering they are talking about snow this weekend, no fucking chance i'll get that done before my birthday most likely.
i'll be turning 45 in 8 days. any of you are more than welcome to go to my Amazon.com wish list and get me something if you so desire. i do have shit on there under $5 by the way.
no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. it should be long before the Rangers play tomorrow night.

i didn't get to bed until 7:30 this morning. i found a better site to actually get a more accurate price on some of my hockey cards, so that started another hunt in my books of cards last night. and that lead to me finding more cards, mostly baseball, that i had missed. the days are starting to blend all together now. joy.
the Yankees split their doubleheader yesterday in Tampa. they won the first game, 8-4, and lost the second game, 5-3. Stanton got injured (shocker) in the second game and was put on the injured list with a strained hamstring. they are currently winning today's game- 1-0.
ROH was really good last night.
i did catch some of the NBA games yesterday.

i think i am going through another stage of insomnia. joy. i didn't get to bed last night until 5 this morning. if my brain would be working on poems, baseball cards, overthrowing the world, i wouldn't mind it at all. instead, i'm stuck thinking of loneliness, despair, new ways to consider old deaths, what exactly a clean death would look like and what would be the perfect opening line of my obituary. good times.
well, the Columbus Blue Jackets pissed away a 3 goal lead last night and lost to Toronto 4-3 in OT. they now will play a Game 5 tomorrow. winner moves on, loser goes home.
Smackown was pretty good last night, as was 205 Live.
Real Time with Bill Maher was excellent last night.
Room 104 was weird last night, and really good.
the Yankees lost last night 1-0 down in Tampa. hopefully, the bats will come alive in today's doubleheader.
i had to go to the store to get mom's pills this morning. thankfully, it wasn't too crowded.

i didn't get to bed until 5 this morning. i swear, when i get the creative juices going, there is no stopping. i wrote 8 poems yesterday while mom was getting her haircut. i typed those poems up last night and then tried to figure out where my next round of submissions will be going. in a perfect world, those poems would have gone out today. as you know by now, they haven't. i'm hoping to get them out sometime this weekend.
i hate the new Blogger format by the way. it truly fucking sucks.
NXT UK was another best of last night.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
i'm now writing this blog on the old format, so much fucking easier to use. but of course, Google will always find a way to fuck something up by making it "improved".
Desus & Mero was fucking hilarious last night.
Cake was awesome last night.
Holey Moley was pretty funny last night.
Don't was good last night.
i did watch some of the Columbus Blue Jackets last night. they had an incredible OT victory over Toronto after the Maple Leafs blew a 3 goal lead. i'll laugh my ass off if Toronto gets eliminated tonight.
Nani scored 2 goals last night to lead Orlando over Minnesota, 3-1. so the finals of the MLS is Back tournament will be Portland vs. Orlando.

the Yankees start a series tonight down in that dump in Tampa. they lost last night to the Phillies, 5-4. i'd love to see them win this series with a couple laughers.
i'll probably watch some of the NHL games tonight, as many of the games could be series deciding games.
i'll probably check out some NBA games tonight as well.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i think the Yankees play a doubleheader tomorrow, so i'm hoping to be on here before the first game.
that's all for me kids.
i finally got the package i ordered in July that had the sleeves for the baseball cards. so, i whittled down this box i have. i'm going to have to make another order soon. i might have to sell some cards to be able to do that.

i had to laugh. as soon as the Rangers lost today, it felt like it started to rain. and now, it's starting up again, with some thunderstorms and an apparent tornado warning. the beauty about not being afraid to die is you can live like nothing is going on. so, i have a blog to do. away we go...
the Rangers lost to Carolina today, 3-2. considering the winning goal was put into the Rangers net by a guy who plays for the Rangers, this one stung a bit. and it really sucks when you lose your best defensive forward a minute into the game on a hit from his former teammate. hopefully, they will play better and dictate the tempo more in Game 2.
the fucking reason i went to Meijer yesterday was to get coffee. so you can guess what i fucking forgot to get yesterday at Meijer. apparently, i'm at the stage of life where if i don't write it down, i'm going to forget it. i am old. fuck.
i went there after the game was over. it started to rain as i was leaving the parking lot. joy.
the Yankees won last night over the Red Sox, 5-1. hopefully, they will do the same tonight.
Smackdown was really good last night, for a change. as was 205 Live.
Room 104 was weird and really good last night.
Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.
The Go-Go's documentary last night was good. it was sort of like reliving my childhood.

Orlando had a huge upset last night over LAFC in the MLS tournament. there are two games tonight, San Jose vs. Minnesota and NYCFC vs. Portland. i'll probably watch a bit of both.
i was pretty pleased with the burgers i made last night. i think they might have been a little too big, but they were cooked about as well as i can do on the stove. i have no clue what mom wants me to make tonight. the order she made at Omaha Steaks arrived before it started raining today. so, the freezer is fully stocked again.
