one of those days...

 so, i tried going to bed a little earlier last night, you know, sometime before 3 AM. you can imagine how pissed i was when i woke up at 5:45 AM. i slept like shit for another few hours before i finally got up and got my day going. it did snow a little this morning, not much at all. and at least i got all the grocery shopping done before the shit starts tonight.

one of those cloudy days, with pain...

 today has been one of those days where my arthritis has been dragging me down. i did make it to Kroger to get the muscle relaxers they ordered for mom. they seem to be working so far. i think she finally got some sleep last night. glad she did, i might have got a good 3 hours. i did get a couple hours this afternoon with ice on my back. always fun to put ice right on your spine and try to freeze all the activity going down the spinal cord. good times.

a nice turn of events...

 so, i was helping my mother pay her bills today when i noticed on her DIRECTV bill that we could get Paramount+ with our account now. after i got all the bills paid, i investigated that. after a little figuring shit out, i was able to get Paramount+ on the TV in the living room and on my phone. at least now if the war between the local CBS and DIRECTV isn't solved by Sunday, we can still watch the Super Bowl on the Paramount+ app. and since there is no charge for it, i will definitely take advantage of all the soccer on the app. that was a very welcome surprise today.

the New York Rangers won last night in OT at home against Colorado, 2-1. i am hoping that will be the victory that gets them going again.

and now, snow...

 at least it was just flurries. but, when it happens on a Friday, the brain dead mother fuckers that are out and about are even less attentive than normal. never a good mix for me when i am in pain and someone isn't paying attention. oh well. the bathroom demo went pretty well today. i believe the guy has it down to the studs for the most part. so, i guess on Monday the rebuild will begin. and of course, mom has two appointments next week, so that will throw a wrench into the plans.

i just got another text from Rite Aid saying i have a prescription ready. i can't fucking imagine why i am frustrated these days...

the Dayton Flyers play tonight on the road at Loyola Chicago. hopefully, the boys will win.

the New York Rangers play tonight in Edmonton. hopefully, the Rangers will keep their winning streak going.

i pulled an all-nighter...

 so, my luck has been incredibly shitty here lately, so i decided to pull an all-nighter last night. i wrote a poem around 2:30 in the morning and when i went to type it up, my thumb drive fucking broke on me. of course, my arthritic hands dropped it. that thing has the last decade of my poems on it. so, when i put it back together and saw that it still worked, i decided to retire it. also, i couldn't find the cap for it, so i put it in a bag so it would at least be away from dust and dirt. as for the poem, i love it. hopefully, i'll squeeze a couple more from this rock and get some submissions out there.

gambling was incredibly hard yesterday. i missed two fucking parlays by 1 3 pointer and by .5 points. that was the difference between nothing and $75. hence, the all-nighter. i figure if the kicks to the dick continue tonight, time for a shave, haircut, whatever voodoo i need to do to turn the fucking worm.

Your Honor was very good last night.

Murder in Big Horn was so sad to watch last night. it always sickens me how the United States have treated Native Americans.

The Last of Us was really good last night.

the New York Knicks won last night at home against Philadelphia, 108-97. that was one of the few picks i got right last night.

here are your NBA highlights from yesterday:

and the hours all blend into one long story...

 so, i woke up this morning to yet another fucking telemarketer calling. nothing quite like 4 hours of sleep when you know you have shit to do. joy.

so, after breakfast this morning, i had to go to the post office to return a package that mom never ordered. after that, i had to go to her accountant and drop off the taxes. side note, they called this afternoon to tell mom they are done. after the accountant, i went to the bank. i made that deposit and then went back home. got in a good 20 minute nap and then helped mom get ready to go to her doctor's appointment. that appointment lasted forever. the good old Medicare checkup appointment. but, at least mom got to talk about everything she wanted to. 

we had a really good lunch today, so dinner tonight is going to be light.

the Yankees lost yesterday to Baltimore, 3-1. Judge had 3 strikeouts yesterday, so i'm hoping he has a big series in Texas so the triple crown will be a possibility. they start a 4 game series tonight at the Texas Rangers.

i did watch a little MLS action yesterday.

mom was happy that her Jets defeated the dictator's Steelers yesterday.

Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.

Power Book III: Raising Kanan was excellent last night.

Nothing Compares was really good last night. i think it did a great job showing how much Sinead O'Connor was way ahead of the times. you look back on ripping up the photo of the Pope now and given all the sexual abuse in the Catholic church, it makes perfect fucking sense. highly recommend watching this if you get the chance.

the old tricks still work...

 so, mom and i had biscuits and gravy for breakfast this morning. my sister had left some biscuits in the freezer the last time she was here. so, i thought i better use them finally, and we had one thing of sausage gravy left. we can't have this as often as we used to as there is too much sodium in the whole meal. but, it was good. after that, i knew Barcelona and Atletico Madrid was playing, so i found that on ESPN+. and the old tricks till works. anytime i need some sleep, i put on a soccer match between two teams i don't care about. sure enough, i got a good two hour nap in. works like a charm.

the Dayton Flyers lost at Saint Louis yesterday, 72-61. Dayton didn't shoot worth a fuck and didn't play defense worth a fuck either. that's a bad combo if you actually want to win. 

the NHL All Star game yesterday was pretty good.

i did put out some better salt on the driveway yesterday. all the guy that mom paid did was get most of the snow off and didn't do that well either. i know damn sure we will never use him again. i'm hoping the salt will do most of the work for me as it gets a little warmer here. i need to go down and see if we got a Sunday paper today or not. the dumb fucks for the city of Brookville plowed the roads like they didn't know where the curbs were. everything is piled up so it is nearly impossible to get to the mailboxes or the paper slots. brilliant as usual.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Celebrity Big Brother, Billions, the season finale of Power Book II: Ghost, the season premiere of Power Book IV: Force, Euphoria, The Righteous Gemstones and Somebody Somewhere.

the Dayton Flyers defeated George Mason last night, 74-65. that was the exact same score when they played the first time this season.

just enough ice to make the trees glisten...

before i get into a shitty ice storm that wasn't and my never fucking ending battle with arthritis, a little poetry news to pass along first.

i sent out 21 poems today; 5 each to Synchronized Chaos, Horror Sleaze Trash and Chantarelle's Notebook; 6 poems to Record Magazine. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.

i didn't go out to get the paper and the one piece of mail we had until this afternoon. i only got 4 hours of sleep again. joy. and my arthritis in my back has been nagging me all day long. but, the joy of being stubborn...

The Masked Singer was good last night. i had no damn clue who The Llama was...

Miz & Mrs was pretty funny last night.

NXT was really good last night.

AEW was really good last night as well.

the New York Rangers won last night over Toronto, 5-3.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Young Sheldon, The Unicorn, Will & Grace, Indebted and Desus & Mero. i'll watch NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i guess we're supposed to get some snow in the morning. so, i'll probably go to the grocery store after that is over. i'm hoping the roads won't be too bad.

i should be on here in the afternoon tomorrow.

i'm off to go ice my back yet again.

arthritis wins again

probably around 10 last night, my arthritis started raging. i tried drinking. i tried the massage chair. i tried watching porn. none of it helped at all. i think i tossed and turned all night long. the last 10 hours or so have been a fresh slice of hell. joy.

i did take mom to the doctor yesterday. the doctor believes her cough is from post nasal drip. so we had to go to the drugstore to pick up some over the counter shit that should take care of that. more concerning for me was my mother's blood pressure. it was way elevated yesterday. she told the doctor that she takes it every morning on her little wrist monitor. the doctor told my mother those aren't accurate. so, that was another thing we had to get yesterday at the drugstore. and judging from what the new monitor said the first two times mom used it, i think when she goes back to the doctor in a month, they will be changing her blood pressure medication. good times.

i saw an interesting news piece on Vice News Tonight last night. it was about this black woman from America that has started a retreat for black women in Costa Rica. she made the comment that she believes white people, especially from America, shouldn't have passports as white people have already done enough damage to the world. i laughed and told my mother it's just my luck. i have wanted to live in Costa Rica for the last few years. my luck, i'd find this amazing black woman that i would want to spend the rest of my life with there, but she believes i'm an evil person and wants nothing to do with me because of the color of my skin. it's like my life in high school all over again.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. i do love how they are getting Elias over and i do love a pissed off Seth Rollins.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, Baskets and Hate Thy Neighbor. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the New York Rangers lost last night 2-1 at Dallas. i am shocked at how bad the defense on this team truly is. if The King wouldn't have been sharp last night, they would have lost by 5 or 6 goals. the best thing this team could do is trade as many people as possible, tank the season, miss the playoffs and hope you can luck into the top draft choice. and getting a new coach wouldn't hurt either.

i've been exchanging emails with the last woman i fell in love with today. it went way better than i expected it to. so, as you can imagine, i'll be doing some writing here soon.

well, instead of listening to my mother cough up a lung in the next room, i think i'm going to go next door and do the trash.

that's all for me kids.
