saw some snow today...

 we had some snow squalls come through today. that really made it feel like holy shit, Christmas is a week away. amazingly, our contractor came out yesterday and got our dishwasher working. he finally found the part that would work with our water system. both mom and i were shocked that he was here on a Sunday. mom got the quietest dishwasher around and it is. i used it today and it will take some getting used to, but it should greatly improve how much time i have to spend doing the dishes with my bad back. so, most of yesterday and today has been putting stuff back into the kitchen. that hasn't done any favors for my bad back. neither did racing to the toilet this morning. that was fun. so, i had some more laundry to do today. thankfully, it is all done now. as for the kitchen, i am hoping the vent hood will get here before Christmas. it would be nice to have all this done and we can get back to the normal dysfunction that i am used to.


in some good news, i got the results from my stool sample. drum roll please.... negative. i was hoping for that as i don't want to be dealing with colon cancer right now. i know i will most likely have that mountain to climb in the future.


ok, let me get this shit show on the road...


Manchester United and Liverpool played a 0-0 draw yesterday. i laughed at how many of the Liverpool players were complaining that United didn't play to win the game. given the injuries, suspensions, illness, etc., that was the only way United could play and expect anything from the game. and honestly, i didn't think they had it in them. so, now that should become the standard. and maybe you'll find someone in January that can actually fucking score.






the New Orleans Saints won yesterday at home over the New York Giants, 24-6.




i did see a few NFL games yesterday.



here are your highlights from the NBA last night:





the series finale of Fellow Travelers was excellent last night.


the season finale of  Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.


The Curse was very good last night.



Power Book III: Raising Kanan was really good last night.



enjoy some music:







and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be part 1 of the season finale of The Voice, Monday Night Raw and Big Brother: Reindeer Games.


i will probably watch some of the NFL game tonight.




i hope everyone had a great Sunday.


i should be on here tomorrow after i go to Rite Aid to get my prescription and after i take mom to the post office.


i need to get started on dinner tonight. not sure what i'm making yet.


until tomorrow kids...

one too many rabbit holes...

 so, i was up at 3 in the morning doing the dishes in the bathtub. i know there is a poem there somewhere. i really wanted to sleep in this morning. i was still up before 9. mom is just now getting out of bed. maybe i'll sleep more as i approach death.


well, let me start off where this left off yesterday.


Manchester United lost 3-0 yesterday at home to Bournemouth. the boys were absolutely pathetic. i don't have much hope for the match on Tuesday at home against Bayern Munich.

the MLS final was excellent yesterday. the Columbus Crew won, 2-1, over defending champs LAFC.

been up since 6 this morning...

 i think i went to sleep last night a little before 2 AM. i was up at 6 and knew falling back to sleep was not an option. the contractor was here at 7:30. mom went back to sleep when he started working. he left around 1 in the afternoon, but told me he would be back later with the flooring, etc. i was shocked at how much he got done already in the kitchen. got the carpet up, countertop off, two cabinets switched around and the plumbing for the new sink. that gives me hope that this renovation won't take as long as i was fearing.


the New Orleans Saints lost yesterday at home to Detroit, 33-28. hard to win when you get down 21-0 in the first quarter. that was why i had no problem leaving and going to Home Depot. we got the lights for the new kitchen light and some other things we needed. other than the rain while we were driving there, everything went well.







i did watch a few football games yesterday.



Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.



the season finale of Shining Vale was pretty good last night.

well, it is going to be different...

 i did the dishes last night in the bathtub. i made the coffee this morning in the living room. i figured i might as well start all that now since i know that is how the next couple of weeks are going to be. 


the Dayton Flyers won yesterday at home against Grambling State, 76-46. they next play UNLV on Wednesday at home.

https://daytonflyers.com/news/2023/12/2/Dayton_vs_Grambling_St.aspx


Manchester United lost at Newcastle yesterday, 1-0. they were probably lucky only to lose 1-0 to be honest.






the New York Rangers came from behind yesterday to win at Nashville, 4-3. they play tonight at home against San Jose.







i did watch plenty of college football yesterday:







the MLS final is all set up now. LAFC will be play at Columbus.





the USWNT defeated China yesterday, 3-0.

we basically got one half of the kitchen cleaned out yesterday. today will be about moving mom's plants into her room and getting the rest of that portion of the kitchen cleaned out. thankfully, we don't have to move the kitchen table.


i did figure out who i am sending Christmas cards to. i will hopefully get that done in the next week or so.


we need to go to Home Depot today. mom bought a new kitchen light that of course didn't come with the light bulbs for it. plus, we need more trash bags as we are thankfully starting to throw some shit away.


the New Orleans Saints play at home today against the Lions. i will probably watch some of that after i get back home.





i have to be up before 7:30 in the morning tomorrow. i'm not sure how many alarms i will have to set to have that happen. i got the feeling our contractor Joe is one of those guys that gets up at 4:30 in the morning each day and wants to get to work right then and there. i caught in the conversation on Friday how he can start at 7:30 but at the job he just did, he started at 6 AM everyday. i am a nocturnal person, so this is going to get interesting.


i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.

well, no snow but plenty of cold...

 i'm not sure if it actually made it above 32 degrees today. i only went out once to get the mail. we never got the phone call over the weekend like we were expecting, so the kitchen remodel didn't start today. now, mom's anxiety is through the roof since we have no clue when it will start. good times. once we get the call, we have to clean out the kitchen. and our house isn't exactly big enough to just move the stuff in the kitchen to another room. so, it is going to be a tricky thing to do. good times.


the New Orleans Saints lost yesterday at Atlanta, 24-15. they got over 400 yards of fucking offense and could only get 5 fucking field goals. fuck me.

at least the anger didn't last forever...

 well, let me begin with my disgust for Ohio State losing once again to that team up north. and mostly, i am pissed that Ryan Day coached scared. and a fucking fill in outcoached him by a fucking mile. Ohio State played like they didn't want to lose the game instead of going out there and imposing their will and win the fucking game. 3 years in a row now. how can you destroy every other team in the Big Ten but come up short against the only rival you have and in the biggest game of every fucking season? Ohio State lost 30-24.




i did watch a few college football games yesterday:




the New York Rangers won at home yesterday over Boston, 7-4.



here are your NBA highlights from last night:




AEW Rampage and AEW Collision were pretty good last night.




WWE Survivor Series was great last night. both War Games matches were excellent and the surprise at the end of the show was something i never thought in a million fucking years i would ever see again.


Austin City Limits was very good last night.



i did catch some of the highlights last night in the MLS playoffs. the Eastern Conference finals are going to be amazing.

one of those days...

 well, there was just enough rain in the area today that agony was the better word for pain. i feel like i didn't sleep at all, even though i know i did. i did ice my back down, that helped some. these are the days where i need a tub filled ice and i can just spend a few hours in it. or maybe Santa will bring me a morphine drip this Christmas. fingers crossed.


so, one of my favorite female poets contacted me last night and wants to do a little project with me. that certainly got the creative juices flowing. so, i have 10 poems to send her later today. i have wanted to work with her for years, so i'm really happy this creation is beginning.


the Dayton Flyers lost last night in the championship game down in Charleston to Houston, 69-55. at least they did get two quality wins down there. that should help build that tournament resume.


i did watch a few NFL games yesterday:

the USMNT plays tonight at Trinidad & Tobago. hopefully they will expand on the 3-0 lead they have going into this game and easily qualify for the 2024 Copa America.





i should be on here tomorrow after mom has her physical therapy.


one thing i have noticed over the years is how the holidays normally will depress the shit out of me. as much as i have tried to eliminate the negativity in my life to help lift my mood, it doesn't always work that way. i keep playing something the muse said to me last night over and over in my head. this also reminds me why i am a poet. if i didn't know how to string the words together to make sense of this shit, i would be so frustrated that death would be the only option left.


i hope everyone had a great weekend.

while thinking of a title for this...

 i have been running my finger over a scar on my left middle finger. i have moments where i can remember every fucking scar on my body and just by touching them, recall exactly how i got them. usually involves knives or drunken follies. not sure what put me in this mindset this morning, now afternoon. i suppose getting hardly any sleep again would be the most likely explanation. joy.


Ohio State destroyed Minnesota yesterday, 37-3. next up is that team up north.
