we got over 2 inches of rain yesterday and last night. you can imagine the amount of shitty sleep i got. and since mom didn't want any coffee this morning, i didn't make any. joy.
i wrote 11 poems today while mom was in her physical therapy session. that brings my total for the month to 67 poems. that's 1 more than last month. i don't see this type of production staying up during the summer, but who knows. i did type up the poems i wrote today when we got home. i do like a few of them. i will probably do my next round of submissions in the first week of June.
the New York Yankees won last night over Houston, 5-3. that's another series win. they start a series at Baltimore tonight. of course, they are in a damn rain delay at the moment. that's part of the reason this blog is so late.
here are your highlights from Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final last night:
the finale of Being Serena was very good last night.
NXT was excellent last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight.
the NBA Finals starts tonight. i will probably watch some of the game.
i will probably be on here tomorrow after mom and i go to the grocery store.
that's all for me kids. it's time for dinner i guess.

before i get to the arthritis in my knee going nuts as i was biting into a sandwich, a little serious note i need to pass along.
on the right hand side of the blog, you may have noticed the picture i put up that is a direct link to Debbie Kirk's fundraising campaign on GoFundMe. this is to get her some money for her fight against breast cancer. i urge everyone to check it out, donate if you can, and pass it along to everyone you know. many thanks for all of you that do this. here is a link to the fundraiser: https://www.gofundme.com/5m0wfqg
after mom and i got the car back from the mechanic, we went out lunch. just as i was biting into my bacon cheeseburger at Red Robin, my left knee started throbbing. 2 minutes later, the televisions went out and i knew exactly what was coming. it started to really fucking pour. that exact moment, i should have gone to the bar and got a shot or something. thankfully, the rain didn't last long, but the fucking drizzle did. we had to go to the grocery store after that. mom had pills to pick up (9 prescriptions) and we were out of sweetener for the morning coffee. that was all done pretty quickly. thankfully, the drizzle had stopped on our way home. of course, it's supposed to rain more tonight.
the New York Yankees won last night, 6-5 in 10 innings over Houston. the Yankees had no business winning the game as they had 5 fucking errors in the game. but, i'll gladly take it. the Yankees can win the series as it concludes tonight.
Smackdown was pretty good last night.
205 Live was excellent last night.
Deadliest Catch was good last night.
The Jim Jefferies Show was hilarious last night.
the season finale (and hopefully not the series finale) of The Chris Gethard Show was excellent last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and Being Serena. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.
Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final is tonight. i'm rooting for Las Vegas in this series. hopefully they will go up 2-0 tonight on Washington.
i will be on here tomorrow after i get home from taking mom to her physical therapy appointment. hopefully, i will have some end of the month poems to type up.
that's all for me kids.

i took a muscle relaxer around 11 last night. i fell asleep around 2:30 and didn't see the clock until 8:30 this morning. 6 hours of sleep is a fucking eternity to me. mom thought i shouldn't be driving today. i laughed and reminded her, i was the designated drunk driver in my group of friends.
i had to take her to get a chest x-ray this afternoon. before that, i stopped at the grocery store to pick up a new prescription for her. after her x-ray, we went to lunch. after lunch, we went to the Dollar Tree to look for some shit. she didn't find anything. of course, i did. i'm a cheap fuck, let's be honest. dollar stores are right up my alley.
i wrote 4 poems today. i typed those up and liked a few of them. in other poetry news, i heard back from Easy Street on my recent poetry submission. they decided to pass. my unpublished file is way too fucking big for my liking at the moment. hopefully that will change in the next month or so.
the New York Yankees lost last night at Texas, 12-10. they had two different big leads in the game and their pitching blew both of them. oh well, there goes the series winning streak. they are off tonight and will start a series with the Angels at home tomorrow.
well, the Stanley Cup Final is set. Washington vs. Vegas. hopefully it will be a good series.
here are your highlights from the NHL and NBA playoffs last night:
NXT was pretty good last night.
Being Serena was good last night.

i'll probably watch some of the NBA playoff game tonight as well.
i did watch the press conference today of the New York Rangers new coach, David Quinn.
i have to take mom to her foot doctor in the morning tomorrow. after that, i believe we are going to go to Menards since we will be already up near there. they are having a big holiday weekend sale i think.
i should be on here after all that.

so, after going to the doctor today, the verdict is i have a partially torn left calf muscle. he ordered me 10 days worth of muscle relaxers. that should help with the nerves firing off randomly. of course, as this heals, just what my left leg needs...more scar tissue. so i'm supposed to take it easy for the next 10 days. we'll see.
i wrote 10 poems yesterday while mom was in her physical therapy session. i typed them up last night and really liked a few of them. i think that brings me to 40 poems or so for the month. i'll probably have another writing session over the holiday weekend.
the New York Yankees lost last night to the Texas Rangers, 6-4. the Yankees will have a chance to win their 9th straight series later tonight.
here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:
Smackdown was pretty good last night.
205 Live was good last night as well.
The Voice finale was pretty good last night. i don't really care for the winner, but like i said, i wasn't surprised. i certainly wasn't surprised the two black performers finished 3rd and 4th. it is the USA in 2018 after all.
Deadliest Catch was good last night.
The Chris Gethard Show was hilarious last night.
The Jim Jefferies Show last night was fucking great.

i will probably watch some of Game 7 tonight between Washington and Tampa Bay. and i'll probably watch some of Cleveland vs. Boston as well in the NBA playoffs.
the New York Rangers finally have a head coach.
i need to start thinking about dinner and probably some rest as well.
that's all for me kids.
i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow.

so the phone call with my best friend went better than i thought it would yesterday. i can't imagine getting a cancer diagnosis on your 45th birthday. of course, ask me again in 3 years. i think she's going to get the help she needs and be in a better place on the other side of it. at least, that's my fucking hope.
i did write 7 poems today. mom cancelled her physical therapy, so i wrote them at home. as you might imagine, they are pretty fucking dark. i really like a few of them. i believe that puts me at 40 poems for the month. that's a pretty decent pace so far. i typed the poems up after i got done feeding the birds today. amazingly, the hot pepper suet i put out for them almost lasted 4 damn hours. they treat it like crack, it's amazing.
the New York Yankees were rained out last night. so, they will have to go back to Washington D.C. to make up the suspended and rained out game against the Nationals in June. the Yankees are off tonight and start a series at Kansas City tomorrow night.
NXT was really good last night.
Being Serena was very good last night as well.

i put out the hummingbird feeders today. i'm hoping to see some here soon. i'd love to try to get some video of it. if that ever happens, i'll definitely post it on the blog.
i'll be on here tomorrow after i go to the grocery store. mom has already told me i'll be doing the shopping by myself tomorrow. that should make it a little more interesting.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
i have a sign in my room that says i get my cardio by running from adult responsibilities. today might be the day i run for a few miles. my best friend sent me a message this morning i never wanted to hear from her. the mass in her left breast is cancer and they need to remove the whole breast. we got into a little argument last week when i brought up this possibility. now that it is actually here, i know my tough love approach won't work. this is when i need to be the compassionate listener. now, that's something i do well, but when a person just a few years older than myself is facing this, i know all my listening will turn into me facing my own mortality. i joke all the time i do all i do for my mother so i get to stay in the will. she said something about it yesterday and i quickly snapped back with the unfortunate reality we all know... none of this will do me any good if i die first. that brings up a topic in most of my poems, the race to death. i have to call my best friend later this afternoon. i figured i would get the blog done before that fucking cry fest begins. she's one of the few humans on the planet that tells me she loves me and actually means it. it figures she'd have cancer. god hates me.
the New York Yankees got down 3-0 last night at the Nationals. they clawed their way back to get it to 3-3 and then the fucking rain came. and it never stopped. so the game was suspended until 5 PM tonight. they will try to finish the game from yesterday and then play the game they had scheduled for tonight. of course, it's supposed to rain tonight in D.C. so who the fuck knows if they will even get to play at all.
i was pleasantly surprised last night when the Sacramento Kings got the #2 pick in the NBA Draft Lottery. of course, i immediately wondered how they will fuck this up. hopefully, that doesn't happen.
Smackdown was pretty good last night.
205 Live was really good last night.
The Voice was good last night. i had 3 of the 4 finalists i chose correct. and seeing that the only one i had wrong was the one i had fifth, i'm really fine with the Final 4. i would love to see Kyla or Spensha win, but my gut says Britton will win this.
Deadliest Catch was really good last night.
The Chris Gethard Show was fucking great last night.
The Jim Jefferies Show was hilarious last night.

i'm getting ready to watch some of the Europa League Final to take my mind off things for a bit.
plus, there is rain in the area, so my arthritis is raging at the moment. joy.
i have no idea if mom is going to her physical therapy appointment tomorrow or not. she's still coughing her head off at the moment. if she does, i'll be on here tomorrow after that. if she doesn't, i might have a little writing session and then i'll be on here. i can't imagine what would be on my mind to write about.
that's all for me today kids.

i wasn't expecting to take a nap this afternoon, but thanks to Manchester United, i got a good one in. their listless 0-0 draw against West Ham was truly boring. other than a few moments here and there, i'm happy i slept through most of it.
that 1 point for the draw gives Manchester United second place in the Premier League. the clean sheet also means that David De Gea has won the Golden Glove this season.
the New York Yankees won again last night, 9-6 over Boston. to think this team started the season 9-9 and is now 26-10 is fucking amazing. they haven't had a stretch like this since 1953. CC is on the hill tonight as the first place Yankees go for the sweep of Boston.
here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:
NXT was pretty good last night.
Being Serena was excellent last night. it certainly brought back some memories of my time in the hospital for blood clots and pulmonary embolisms. good times.

mom's allergies were so bad today she had to cancel her physical therapy appointment. that allowed me to get a little extra sleep today. i think i got about 6 hours total. i do feel much better. i still have a little bit of a cough now and then. but, i'm not coughing my head off or bringing up much anymore. so, hopefully i will be good to go by the weekend.
the gift i ordered for Mother's Day arrived today. i was starting to worry it wasn't going to be here before the weekend.
that's all for me kids.
i'll be on here sometime after a trip to the grocery store tomorrow.

i think i have coughed more in the last 24 hours than i have in most of my 42 years on this fucking planet. i'm hoping that's rock bottom and the only way to go from here is up. i went and got the pills my doctor said i could use and wouldn't affect my liver at all. i had to go get them or my mother was going to sneak out and get them from me. so, that's why this blog started 30 minutes later than i wanted to today. the asshole son had to tell his mother it's okay to allow the asshole to be an adult. good times.
i might have got a little over 4 hours of sleep last night. considering that's about what i get when i'm healthy, that's a good sign. i would love if i could actually sleep in a bed again before the weekend rolls around.
and i'm so fucking behind on getting the poems out there... if i'm better by the weekend, i know what i'll be doing.
the New York Yankees won last night, 3-2 over Boston. the Yankees are now tied for first place in the division. that also means they are tied for the best record in baseball. the last time the Yankees won 16 out of 17 games was in 1953. they play again tonight.
i was not happy with one of the people that got sent home last night on The Voice. Christiana absolutely should have been saved last night.
Smackdown was really good last night. imagine that, a wrestling show that actually shows mostly wrestling. concept.
205 Live was excellent last night.
Deadliest Catch was really good last night.
The Jim Jefferies Show was hilarious last night.

i took the pills i got today right before starting to write this. they are supposed to make me drowsy. once again, i'm probably the exception to the fucking rule.

we had a line of storms move through right before i had to take mom to her doctor's appointment. there's supposed to be more coming through tonight. with how i feel at this moment, i would say that is pretty accurate.
mom's appointment went well today. the doctor she saw more or less told her, given the MRI on her back, there's no way she can work. her former employer and the insurance company basically are saying she can. so mom is fucking stressed since she feels like someone is accusing her of cheating the system. fun times.
we went out to lunch after that appointment. i took a new notebook with me today. i ended up writing 9 poems in the waiting room. that's 30 poems for May so far. i typed those up when we got home. i really like a few of them.
the New York Yankees last night got a marvelous pitching performance from Severino and 4 RBI from Stanton to defeat Houston 4-0. they were playing the finale today in the afternoon. i got home in time to watch the Yankees piss away a 3-0 lead. Houston was up 5-3 in the 9th, but the Yankees staged another comeback and won the game 6-5. this was an incredible road trip for the Yankees. they went 6-1 on the trip. they play again tomorrow night at home against Cleveland.
NXT was pretty good last night.
Being Serena was very interesting last night.

the fuckers in this cul-de-sac i live in are fucking crazy about mowing their grass. if one house does it, then all the houses have to do it. it's fucking insane. it's like it doesn't matter that the grass hasn't grown, it's supposed to rain tomorrow. so get out there at noon and get that grass cut. these are the days i miss living on the farm, where a fucking lawnmower wouldn't wake me up before 9 in the morning.
i did a little poetry work today. i think i know where my next round of submissions are going to. i believe i'll be sending out 38 poems sometime early next week.
the New York Yankees couldn't do shit last night, that was up until the 9th inning. once Houston took Justin Verlander out of the game, the Yankees offense woke the fuck up. Gary Sanchez hit a massive 3 run homer and the Yankees won 4-0. the Yankees bullpen was spectacular yesterday as they got 24 outs in the game. the Yankees starter left after the first inning with a tight elbow. i'm hoping it's just a fucking minor strain and nothing more. the Yankees play again tonight at Houston.
Smackdown was pretty good last night.
205 Live was really good last as well.
The Voice was good last night. i didn't agree with either of the two that were up for elimination last night. oh well.

i think i spent most of today trying to figure out the fucking song trapped in my head all morning. thankfully, i did. you'll see it as the first song in the music section today.
i'll be on here in the afternoon tomorrow after mom's appointment. i figure we're probably going to lunch after the appointment. i think the appointment is about her social security disability. so, we might go out drinking as well, who knows. i'll be on here after all that is over.
