another piece of the puzzle...

 well, i was getting ready to write this blog about 30 minutes ago and the news hit about a trade for the Yankees. i started scrambling trying to find the details... and i am very happy.

the series finale for What We Do in the Shadows last night was fucking perfect.

Monday Night Raw was good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT, St. Denis Medical and Hard Knocks.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight at home against UNLV. the game is on Peacock.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Nashville. i'm hoping they will find a way to win, but i'm not counting on it.

i guess Orkin is coming here in the morning and they are actually going to finally, get in the attic and see if there has been any damages. if there hasn't, i would love for them to fix the fucking hole the squirrels or racoons did and take the fucking traps away. nothing says Christmas cheer like a fucking trap hanging from the fucking soffit. 

i should be on here in the afternoon after i get the grocery shopping done.

i need to get started on dinner, so that's all for me today kids...

until tomorrow...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay off the fucking streets.

get the fucking shot.

i don't have the patience for a clusterfuck...

 my patience is incredibly thin today, mostly due to fucking humans. apparently, when the original measurements were taken for the kitchen remodel, they were either incorrect to begin with or written down wrong. all is fucking possible to be honest. the new pullout shelves showed up today and they were still too large. and the one that went into the upper part of our pantry was too fucking small. so, mom told the contractor to just put back the regular shelves for the rest of the pantry and forgot about it. the vent hood had a fucking dent in it. joy. and to top everything off, the fucking fridge is too big to fit in where it goes. i told mom i just want the contractor to cut out the two small cabinets that are there now so the fridge will fit and we can use the two small cabinets in the garage somewhere. mom's anxiety is through the fucking roof. and of course, today she found out when the surgery will be for her eyes. i have been up since 5:45 this morning and am running on 3 1/2 hours of sleep. good times.

AEW Dynamite was pretty good last night.

The Masked Singer was crazy as usual last night.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother: Reindeer Games and NJPW.

i will probably watch some of the NFL game tonight between the Chargers and Raiders.

one way or another, i am really hoping the kitchen remodel is done tomorrow. i'm really fucking tired of making dinner in the living room.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

i need to get a nice long nap in before i figure out what the fuck is for dinner tonight. 

at least the old fridge is now in the garage and actually working. so, at some point we have to figure out where that is going and further clean out the fucking garage.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

sometimes the days just all bleed together...

 i finally got to sleep last night at 6 AM this morning. between all the shows on Tuesday, doing the dishes and taking a shower. my brain finally decided to tap out at 6 in the morning. at roughly 10:55 the phone rang. that woke me up. now, sadly, i have been running on piss poor sleep in my life for easily the last 40 years. it is part of the reason why i believe i will be dead before i even sniff 60 years old. and knowing that i am 47, i know the ticks on the clock are getting louder. but, i did get all the grocery shopping done today. and i had to make yet another trip to Rite Aid. that story will be a doozy here in a bit. but first...

the USMNT defeated Ghana last night, 4-0. that's more like it boys.

NXT was very good last night.

Inside the NFL was great last night.

both episodes of Welcome to Wrexham were good last night.

Name That Tune was pretty funny last night.

The Voice started the battle rounds last night. 

Big Brother was really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite, The Masked Singer and the part 1 finale of American Horror Story.

grocery shopping went pretty good today. mom had a bunch things on the list that she normally gets on Amazon. so, i knew damn well there was probably no chance of keeping this under $200 today. i was right. still saved over $40. so, in the middle of shopping at Kroger, i got a text message from Rite Aid saying i had a prescription ready. so, after i got all the groceries put away at home, i went to Rite Aid. there was a line 4 cars deep at the drive-thru, so i was hoping it wasn't going to be busy inside as well. thankfully, it wasn't. when the lady got my prescription she realized there was no pills in the bag the prescription was in. whomever filled the prescription left the bottle of pills on a shelf. i watched all this chuckling to myself, wondering how the hell is this company facing bankruptcy... thank god there was no charge for the pills.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after i get back from taking mom to physical therapy. i know i definitely want to get the blog done before the New Orleans Saints play tomorrow night.

i need to go make dinner, so that's all for me kids.

until tomorrow...

fight the power.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

what a crazy start to the weekend...

 so, i was up early this morning and got myself to the dealership about 10 minutes before my appointment. 90 fucking minutes later, the new tire was put on the Highlander. at least that bullshit is over with. after that, i went to Big Lots. mom wanted me to look for some slippers for her and i was looking for some baseball cards. i got 3 packs of 2022 Topps Series 2. didn't find any slippers for her. after that, i had to go to Kroger to pick up a prescription for my mother. thankfully, i got there before they took their lunch break. when i got back to the Highlander, i noticed that Croatia and Brazil was going to penalty kicks. i started to race home, hoping i would get to see a little bit of that. by the time i got in the garage, i saw the news.

Croatia stunned Brazil today at the World Cup, beating them 1-1 (4-2) on penalty kicks. i did get the chance to watch the second game. that was another holy shit affair. Argentina built a 2 goal lead only to watch the Netherlands score 2 late goals to send the game to extra time. the game went to penalty kicks and Argentina won, 2-2 (4-3). Croatia vs. Argentina in the World Cup semifinal should be an entertaining war.

i've got my final load of laundry in the washer. i did go through the baseball cards. i got a few good ones today. 

Vice News Tonight had two great episodes this week.

Young Sheldon was pretty funny last night.

NJPW was really good last night.

basically today has been an early glimpse of winter. snow showers (very light, no accumulation), no fucking sun and people who can't fucking drive.

i did get mom to physical therapy this afternoon. after she was done with that, we went to the DMV to renew her handicapped placards. she was amazed at how the new place looks. thankfully, it wasn't busy.

at some point tonight i'll get all the trash picked up and ready to go out. i have dinner all planned out, so hopefully the rest of the day goes smoothly.

10 days to go

 so my doctor's appointment went pretty good yesterday. my A1C hadn't really changed. my numbers in my bloodwork were all good, except for the one liver number. when i explained that i was diagnosed with non alcoholic fatty liver disease and i experience no pain from it, the doc seemed cool with it. i go back on St. Patrick's Day, 2022.

The Voice went as i expected last night. my final 3 were the final 3 for the show. Girl Named Tom won.

a cool sunny day...

 it felt really nice out today. i had my sunglasses on and how i just wish it could be like this year round. upper 60's in the day, 40's at night. 

i went to the post office today to mail out some baseball cards to the west coast. postage has gone up a little, but hopefully the cards get there by the end of the week. after that, i went to the bank. of course, the bank i normally go to was closed for some fucking reason. i went to the next town over, mostly because i had to pick up some pills for my mother and another branch of the bank isn't that far away. i made that deposit and then went to Kroger. i can't believe how much they have changed the store around in just a few days. after that, i went back home. this is the kind of day where i wish i could just sleep all day long.

i kind of was in and out of a few football games yesterday. i did see a couple of crazy overtimes.

Axios was good last night.

Succession was awesome last night.

 i think we ended up with around 2 inches of snow, maybe. it warmed up enough today that most of it that wasn't on the grass has melted. but, it did get cold enough that my arthritis was having fun last night. good times.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

Industry was very good last night.

The Voice was excellent last night. i hope my favorites survive elimination night tonight.

the Dayton Flyers finally get their season started tonight at home against Eastern Illinois. i think i'll be able to watch the game on ESPN+. i'm really hoping Dayton wins.

i guess the new phones came today. i don't think they are out of the boxes yet. so, that should tell you my excitement to activate them.

i have a ton of shit to do tomorrow. i want to get my Christmas cards done, the grocery shopping, i'm guessing a trip to the bank and of course, Manchester United plays PSG in the Champions League tomorrow.

i should be on here tomorrow after all of that is done.

as for now, i need to get the trash picked up here and next door and make sure i have ESPN+ all set up for the game tonight.

 i didn't get to bed last night until 4:30 this morning. so, i'm going on around 4 hours of sleep and a huge cup of coffee at the moment. good times.

Manchester United started off horribly yesterday. thankfully, they didn't finish that way. United won 4-1 over Newcastle. i'm really hoping that is the start of a great string of games for them.

i did watch a ton of boxing last night, especially the Lopez vs. Lomachenko fight. i thought Lopez won the fight, but not by the huge margin the judges thought he did. Lomachenko finally paid for starting off as slow as he does.

i did watch a ton of college football yesterday as well. thankfully, the Big Ten starts back next Saturday.

Saturday Night Live was not good last night. nothing against Issa Rae, but i didn't find much of the show that funny.

Austin City Limits was a look back at Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble from 1983 and 1989.

ROH was very good last night.

David Byrne's American Utopia was awesome last night. i highly recommend it.

sometimes the pain wins...

i couldn't find a comfortable spot last night as my right shoulder decided to declare war on the rest of my body. that was fun. i think i just tossed and turned for five hours. joy. and in the grocery store today, it was like my right arm decided it had a mind for itself as the nerves and my arthritis were going fucking nuts. thankfully, i'm used to be being the weird one out in public, so people looking at me doesn't bother me.

the New York Yankees lost last night, 8-3. hard to win when you have more errors than runs. i fully expect the Yankees season to end tonight, if it does, it will be the first decade since the 1910's that the Yankees haven't made it to a World Series. oh well. i do feel bad for CC though. that was hard to watch last night.

the New York Rangers lost last night at New Jersey, 5-2. they play tonight at Washington. hopefully, they play much better than they did last night.

Young Sheldon was really good last night.

The Unicorn was very good last night.

Perfect Harmony was pretty funny last night.

Mr InBetween was excellent last night.

the cold sunshine

it was kind of chilly today, but the sun was out. so after i got home from the bank, i went out in the yard and got some work done. i put some bird feeders out for the small birds; and changed a couple of the ones we had in front with feeders we had in the back before we got the landscape redone. once they put the final tree in, i'll put the suet feeders back out and then it should be complete.

the New York Rangers lost in OT last night at Washington, 4-3. still, they managed to get a point out of that game which makes me think they will at least be competitive most nights of the season.

NXT was really good last night.

205 Live was good last night.

the Mae Young Classic was excellent last night.

Lucha Underground was good last night.

Mr. Mercedes was fucking great last night. next week is the season finale.

i did listen to episode 208 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can find that by going here:
http://notsam.com/wrestlingpodcast/2018/10/18/notsam-wrestling-208-don-callis

mom picked out some really nice doors and black storm doors for the house last night. she dropped a little over 7 grand for them. she laughed and said well, it's only your inheritance. i chuckled knowing i will get nothing when she dies, much like when my father died. and i have little hope to outlive my sister, who already told me any money she leaves me will be put in a trust and will be given to me as a monthly allowance. i better figure out how to win that damn Mega Millions draw tomorrow night.

i guess the plan for tomorrow is to get some poems out in the morning and then hit the grocery store. i will probably be on here after i get back home.

that's all for me kids.
