last night was the first night in 3 weeks that i was able to sleep more than 3 hours in my own bed. that surprised me. a bigger surprise was my doctor's appointment. my A1C was actually lower. and that comes after not having any Trulicity for the last month. they have taken me off of Trulicity and have put me on Rybelsus. that is, once the insurance company gives it the ok. my blood pressure was excellent and she put me on some muscle relaxers for my pinched nerve. i am always a big fan of better living through chemistry. i'll start the muscle relaxers tonight and the ibuprofen in the morning.
the Yankees had their asses handed to them yesterday, losing at home to Baltimore, 17-5. they start a series tonight at home against Atlanta.
i got to see a little of the Euro 2024 today.
i did watch the start of the Copa America last night. Argentina beat Canada, 2-0. tonight, Chile takes on Peru.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage, Real Time with Bill Maher and Fantasmas. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.
Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final is tonight in Edmonton. Florida is up 3-2.
i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.
until tomorrow kids...

i'm 43 years old. i first thought of suicide at age 8. now imagine 35 years of wondering about what if... i absolutely fucking hate having my time wasted. getting to a doctor's appointment early and having to wait and then wait some more and then wait even longer to be told, hey, just keep on doing what you're doing and if you still feel good in 2 months, you don't have to worry about a follow up. and then go to the grocery store, for the second time in the same day, to pick up a prescription that wasn't ready when you were doing your grocery shopping... there's another 30 minutes of my life i won't get back. a line 10 deep because the store only has two people working the registers in the pharmacy. brilliant. ah, that's right, if they work more than 29 hours, they get health insurance... i remember now. the kicker to today was i had to take off my ear rings for the new x-rays. i was having problems with the one in my right ear (i switched to posts as my hoops died after 20 years) and sure enough, the post was up in the hole. i couldn't get it and it freaked the nurse out so much she thought she was going to puke. thankfully, mom was able to get it out when i got home. hopefully, Santa brings some new fucking ear rings this year.
and yet another bitch of mine, i figured out why i have to ask for a refill every month on my gabapentin. apparently, the state of Ohio doesn't allow any refills on it because most meth abusers are on it as well. so, apparently, i need to get to cooking in the backyard i guess. my A1C is now 7.7, which is basically i should be losing a body part now. the APRN finally realized i need to be put back on the drug i was taken off of, like i had been asking her for six months now. nice to know i have to drive myself to near death to get my way. so, hopefully soon my A1C will get back to "normal" numbers.
fuck, i am so fucking tired of this shit anymore. i did go to the bank again today as my health care provider sent me back the payment i sent in twice. i just love when they send me a bill online and then send me a bill in the mail two weeks later, fucking assholes.
as you might imagine, i'm in a pissy mood.
NXT UK was pretty good last night.
i watched a ton of basketball and hockey last night. i was hoping to get some decent sleep, but of course, that never fucking happens. i had some weird ass dreams about lovers from my past that made no fucking sense at all. joy.
i did manage to get all the grocery shopping done before 1 PM today.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network. i believe 205 Live for the next two weeks are going to be best of shows.
the New York Rangers are playing tonight at home against Toronto. it's currently 2-2 in the first period. hopefully, the Rangers will find a way to win tonight. i need some fucking alcohol.
mom wants to go out shopping tomorrow morning, so i should be on here after that. i know at some point tomorrow, i need to start wrapping gifts. i wrap all the gifts in newspaper, that way all of it can be fucking recycled afterwards.
i hope everyone has a great weekend. best of luck with your last minute shopping.
until tomorrow kids...

i was hoping for the best today at my doctor's appointment. sadly, that wasn't what happened. i guess my A1C skyrocketed here in the last 6 months. it's still at a range where they aren't worried (7.0) but considering 6 months ago it was 5.4, i'm a little pissed. i also had to get 2 vaccines today, which i didn't mind. i go back in a month to get the second round of the Hepatitis B vaccine; 3 months to get my A1C checked again. a 30 minute visit turned into 90 minutes. joy. mom thinks my drinking has something to do with the A1C going up. if that's the case, here's where i become the non-compliant patient.
so you might have seen all the good news with my poetry in the posts earlier today. here's the flip side. i heard back from Katie at Glintmoon on my recent poetry submission. despite enjoying what i sent, they decided to pass on the poems. that slightly pisses me off, especially since it's one of the few places i have found that actually pays. well, there's 5 more for the unpublished file.
The Voice was really good last night. it was the first night of the battle rounds.
Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. you can definitely tell WrestleMania is getting closer...
i did watch One Nation Under Stress last night. boy, that hit fucking home. if you live in the Midwest, the whole hour or so you could only shake your head and know exactly what the fuck they were talking about.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown and The Jim Jefferies Show. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.
the USMNT plays tonight against Chile. this should be their toughest test yet under their new coach.
the New York Rangers scored the first 2 goals last night against Pittsburgh. sadly, the Penguins scored the next 5 to win 5-2.
the New York Yankees lost last night against the Nationals, 5-3. they start their season at home on Thursday against the Orioles.
i've got the trash all picked up and out to the curb, so now i just need to figure out what is for dinner.
i'll probably be on here in the afternoon tomorrow, most likely.
hope everyone is doing well.
until tomorrow kids...
Moriré con una bebida en mi mano

so, i was trying to get to bed kind of early last night and around 11:30, i started to smell something. i started to walk around the house and quickly realized there has to be a fucking skunk somewhere outside. we had the air conditioning on and well, just fuck me. so much for getting to sleep early.
i didn't sleep well at all last night. maybe just 2 or 3 hours at a time. but, i was up and showered and made it to the doctor's office on time. the doctor was very pleased with me. my weight is down. my A1C was excellent. my blood pressure was very good. he even gave me the option to give up one of the pills i'm on for Type 2 Diabetes but i decided to keep things the same for now. i'd like to see if my weight continues to go down if my A1C will follow.
the grocery store this morning was a little crazy. plenty of people trying to get all the shopping done before the heat of the day and while it isn't fucking raining. amazingly, i got everything on the list and kept it under $90. mom was shocked when she saw the receipt.
she then had me go to the drugstore to return one thing and find another. i had to get some shit while i was there as well. so that was my morning and early afternoon.
time for a fucking nap.
Big Brother was pretty good last night. Cody got evicted, although i'm pretty sure the producers would love to see him comeback in a week. Alex is the new HOH, so it could be an interesting week.
the 30 for 30: Mike and The Mad Dog was pretty good last night. if you ever want to know why sports talk radio is the way it is, blame those two.
Vice News Tonight had another excellent week of shows.
the New York Yankees start a series tonight up in Boston. a sweep could go a long way to getting back into the race for the division. but, if they get swept and given the Yankees injuries, it may be time to turn the season over to the kids.
i will be on here early tomorrow. there is a ton happening in the afternoon and evening, so look for me in the morning.
i hope everyone has a great start to their weekend.
be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.
