i think i finally fell asleep around 5 this morning. this time of year, as i try to remain productive as the depression creeps in, the hours all seem to just fade into one long session that never ends. this is the grind i have been in since my 20's i think. as i told my mother last night, i'll be dead before i make it to 60 years old. oh well, just trying to live in the now.

i did take mom to the post office today. after that, she wanted to go to Dollar Tree to get some contact paper for the shelves in the pantry. she found some that almost looks like our new countertops. after that, i took her back home. i went to Rite Aid to get my prescription and then around the corner to the grocery store to get a few items from the grocery list.
at least i should have only one store to go to tomorrow.
i will probably be on here after i get the grocery shopping done tomorrow.
i need to go figure out dinner and get the trash picked up.

so, today was an odd one. it snowed this morning for like 30 minutes. thankfully, there wasn't much accumulation. i helped mom get an iHeart radio account finally. she got the app on her phone and was able to actually sleep. she has a problem of turning her brain off. there is enough sleep options on the app that i think she finally just let go and went to sleep. i took a little nap this afternoon, mostly to hope the pain died down. of course, it didn't. i then had to go to the post office to return some things for mom. after that, i went to Meijer to get some things she wanted. and then i went to Dollar Tree to get a few things i needed. all in all, the afternoon went pretty well but it was fucking cold.

i did make a little money back last night gambling. not enough to be real happy about it though.
hopefully, i will do good tonight and tomorrow morning with another big soccer bet. big as in 4 teams, not the amount of money i'm gambling.

so, where the fuck to begin... my doctor's visit was a little crazy today. i guess my A1C hasn't changed, which pisses me off. the doctor acted like it was no big deal since everyone is stuck inside with this pandemic, and then as i was leaving... i got handed an order to go get my blood drawn. and since they have a facility on site in their new building, i had to go get it done right then and there. so, my 2:30 appointment went to about 3. the blood work went from about 3:15 to 3:30. i still had to do the grocery shopping after that and i hadn't had anything to eat since breakfast. fucking joy.
i went to the local grocery store before the doctor's appointment. that went pretty well. the larger grocery store after the appointment was a bit of a clusterfuck. mind you, my back has been feeling like shit all damn day. so, by the time i was getting home (5:30 PM), i was pissed at the world.
i also hit up the Dollar Tree close to the doctor's office to see if they sell any baseball cards, like they used to. of course not. i did find some Batman stuff i had never seen before. so, the trip wasn't fruitless.
my doctor also has this new policy where he wants to see his own patients once a year and the rest of the time he wants the patients to go to the 4 nurse practitioners he has in the office. when i told mom that when i got home, she wasn't thrilled.
and then she sprung on me the news that she has a foot doctor's appointment tomorrow afternoon. so, i guess i know what i am doing.
Deadliest Catch was good last night. next week's episode looks like it is going to be fucking crazy.
WWE Backstage was very good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, AEW and NXT.
i did watch a little bit of the Premier League before i left for the doctor's office. as i told my mother, if everything goes as planned, the victory drinking could be back on Friday after Manchester United plays. i think she is more excited for that than i am.
when mom told me she wanted to go out shopping after her eye appointment today, i figured she wanted to go shopping for herself. much to my surprise, it was an early Christmas for me today. first up was Dollar Tree, where she found the plastic placemats she has been looking for and a steamer for some vegetables. i got my usual batch of cheap football and baseball cards. then, we went to Shoe Carnival. they were having a buy one get one at 50% off sale, so mom told me to go look for some new shoes. i mentioned to her that i wanted some new shoes as the shoes i had were the shoes most likely to be worn by white nationalists. i decided i needed to change that ASAP. so, i found two pairs of Skechers that i really liked. they have the memory foam in them that really helps my feet. both of those with the sale were under $100. after that, we went to Big Lots where i got some socks and some more little notebooks. all in all, not a bad day. then we went out to lunch. that was where the day turned.
we were in this place long enough to sit down, figure out what we wanted to eat; mom went to the bathroom and came back and no one had been to the table yet. mom motioned over the manager and he was very apologetic. as the manager was talking to us, our waitress came up to the table. she got our drinks and we placed our orders. the appetizer came out and about 5 minutes later, our meals came out. mom got some chicken wings and i got this pizza i like. the problem was, how the waitress was carrying the pizza, half of it ended up face down on the table. she gave me the half that was still on the platter and told me she would bring me a new one. 10 minutes later, here comes a new one, hotter than shit, and partly burnt. oh joy. when we got done, mom asked what she should do for the tip. i told her not to give her more than 10%. what a shit show.
and to top it all off, the chili from last night started to kick in on the drive home. i went a route where i could avoid most school buses. of course, there was a fucking accident on the way i wanted to go. so, i had to go about 10 minutes out of my way. thankfully, no school buses and no explosions in my stomach. i made it to the toilet and holy hell was unleashed when i got home.
Monday Night Raw was okay last night. most of the show was spent hyping the matches this Friday in Saudi Arabia. man, that's going to be fucking awkward.
Lip Sync Battle was pretty good last night, but easily forgettable as well.
The Voice was really good last night. the knockouts are when the show really starts to get really, really good.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, The Jim Jefferies Show, The Voice and Mayans M.C.
the New York Rangers play tonight at San Jose. i will probably watch some of the game, hoping for something that probably won't happen, a victory.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. with it being Halloween, i don't know what mom will want to do. i don't think we're handing out candy, and i don't think we're going to my sister's house like we did in the past. hell, maybe i'll get some writing done tomorrow, that's a concept.
i just saw that there is rain in the forecast for tomorrow. oh fucking great.
if you are giving out candy, don't be a cheap ass. those are the houses that get destroyed. always remember that.
until tomorrow kids. i have trash to go pick up.

i'm not sure if i have seen the sun in the last 48 hours or so. today was just fucking dreary beyond belief.
i did do a little poetry work yesterday. i believe i know where my next 23 poems are going. i'd love to get that done sometime this week.
i did watch plenty of football yesterday. most of the results i liked, especially the ones in the Saints division.
America to Me was very good last night.
The Deuce was excellent last night.
Camping was pretty good, although i can see why people would hate it.

we got out of mom's doctor's appointment a little sooner than we expected. so, there's a Dollar Tree not far from where my physical therapy is. we were able to waste 30 minutes or so there before we left to my therapy. we only spent $11 at Dollar Tree, so that's not bad.
my physical therapy session was good. no drama like the week before. my therapist said if my back continues to get better this week, next week might be my last session. my back is definitely not as tight as it was the week before, so i'm trending in the right direction.
i will probably be on here tomorrow after mom's eye surgery. i think the surgery is supposed to only be a few minutes long. they are taking a laser to the scar tissue that has formed where her cataracts were. good times. one eye this week and the other eye next week.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.

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.

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.

they are saying a shitload of snow is coming on Friday. i've heard anything from 3 to 11 inches. needless to say, i'll be doing any shopping, getting gas, whatever, tomorrow. and i won't be going to the basketball game Friday night. my luck, i'd get caught in the storm on the way home.
i took mom out shopping today. we found a few things at Meijer. we then went to lunch. i spent most of that listening to the couple at the table next to us speak Spanish for most of their conversation. i'm pleasantly shocked at how much i can still remember. after lunch, we went to Dollar Tree. amazingly, we found plenty of stuff there. of course, whatever we didn't find i get to buy tomorrow at the store. plus, i have to pick up mom's prescriptions.
the Dayton Flyers did their best to piss away a 12 point halftime lead last night at Richmond. shockingly, they managed to never give up the lead in the second half. Dayton won the game 87-81. that's their first road win of the year. they next play Friday at home against VCU. it will be on national television, so that's another reason to not be out in the snow on Friday night.
Drop the Mic was pretty funny last night.
Smackdown was pretty good last night.
205 Live was pretty good as well last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Total Divas and The X-Files. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.
if i can get up with a little energy tomorrow, i do plan on finally getting some poems out into the world for 2018. if not tomorrow, then i'm forcing myself to do it on Friday.
i had a crazy dream last night that i found a stillborn piglet in the basement of the house i grew up in. and then suddenly, a wild boar made out of dust started to charge me and tried to eat me. i woke up and it was 5 in the morning. i think i had been asleep for 3 hours. i took it as a reminder that i should have started with the harder drugs sooner in life.
that's all for me kids. my birthday is in 11 days. if you feel so inclined to buy me something, there's a link to my Amazon.com wishlist on the right hand side of this blog. there's plenty of cheap shit on there by the way.
until tomorrow my friends...

mom made a purchase online last night from Office Depot. the paper she got for the printer had to be picked up at the store. so, she got the notification this morning that it was ready at the store. we went this afternoon to get that and looked around at some of the other shit on sale. after that, we went to Dollar Tree to find some toys and some new cooking utensils. mom likes to use things until they basically are nothing but shit. she was bitching about having a hard time about getting the beaters out of the hand mixer. i laughed and said the hand mixer is only 40 fucking years old, i can't imagine what the problem is. and all her table and tea spoons are so damn old you can't read what size they are anymore. so we looked for some of that shit and found some good shit, Betty Crocker even. plus, we just found out last night that one of the kids (i guess he's a cousin or something, fuck, i've never met him) likes dinosaurs and i remembered seeing some while we were there at Dollar Tree earlier in the week. sure enough. so, i have finally shopped on Black Friday.
Thanksgiving went pretty well here. everything mom made was good. my sister has not manged to get on my nerves yet. and amazingly, my blood sugar was actually a decent number this morning. maybe i'm figuring this shit out now.
Young Sheldon was pretty funny last night.
Life in Pieces was fucking hilarious last night.

and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be two episodes of NJPW.
i'll be watching the New York Rangers take on Detroit for most of the evening. hopefully the boys can get another victory.
i had some tasty leftovers for lunch today and i'm guessing there will be more leftovers for dinner.
i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow before Manchester United plays. that game will go right into the Ohio State vs. that team up North game at Noon. and since mom and i will be at the Dayton vs. Akron college basketball game tomorrow night, i'd rather do the blog before i could possible be fucking livid to the nth degree.
i did get my copy of Ally Malinenko's new book, Fitting the Ocean in Your Mouth today in the mail. i'm probably going to read a little of that tonight. i told Ally that if i find the time and get the book done before the end of the month, i may try to do a little review of it on here. so stay tuned.
i hope everyone had a good holiday. i hope if you went out shopping either last night or today, you found everything you were looking for. and to anyone reading this in Egypt, i doubt i have any words that could do your sorrow and grief any good.
now that it seems the world has got back to its normal, bloody self, i hope everyone has a great weekend.
