i just got the news that Frankie Beverly died. that hit me way harder than i was expecting. definitely feeling my age these days.
a delightful trip into the dark mind of an evil genius or simply the musings of an asshole

much later than i was expecting...

the start of a long weekend...
so, roughly 10 minutes after i got this blog done yesterday, mom was in the bathroom puking. needless to say, she didn't go to her foot doctor yesterday. i called and told them what was going on. they understood and were really cool with cancelling. now i need to make sure mom reschedules that appointment soon. mom and i had a long talk last night. her memory has gone to complete shit anymore, so she has to write everything down. and i mean everything, like when to wake up, what to do when she does, when to take her nap, etc. so, my smart ass told her to write down to remember to breathe and stop procrastinating. that didn't go over well. but, she did actually sleep some last night. i didn't hear any outbursts from her at 3 or 4 in the morning, so i was able to get some sleep as well. apparently not enough though, as i put some ice on my back this afternoon and slept 2 more hours. that basically screwed up the timing of what i wanted to get done today. so, i'm guessing i am going to try to get a hair cut sometime tomorrow. or maybe next week.
Manchester United defeated Chelsea yesterday, 4-1. they will be in the Champions League next year. they play Fulham at home on Sunday to end the regular season. they also have the FA Cup final coming up as well.
the New York Yankees lost last night at home to Baltimore, 3-1. they start a series tonight at home against San Diego.

it felt like it was raining all the time yesterday...
and finally, at night, it did rain. it rained most of the night. i think i finally fell asleep around 4 when it finally stopped to mostly just a drizzle. on those days, my arthritis feels like an elephant has climbed on me for shits and giggles. fun times.
i did get up in time to see Manchester United win this morning. they won 1-0 at Bournemouth. add that with Liverpool dropping points this morning, United now only needs 1 point in their last two matches to officially qualify for the Champions League next season. and with the clean sheet today, David De Gea won the golden glove for the best keeper in the Premier League.

1 down, 15 to go...
the New York Rangers won last night at New Jersey, 5-1. hopefully, they can dominate every game in this series like that. Game 2 is tomorrow night.

some deaths hit harder than others...
so, when i saw the news last night that Taylor Hawkins had died, i was crushed. Foo Fighters has always been a band i wanted to see live. anytime i would watch one of their shows on YouTube, i could always tell how much fun they had playing. and a major part of that was the drummer, Taylor Hawkins. i can't imagine the pressure of being the drummer in a band fronted by the drummer from Nirvana. Taylor always seemed so friendly and cool. and fuck, he was only 50 years old. that's only 4 years older than me. so yeah, this one hits a little fucking harder. thank you for all the smiles. rest in peace. my best to his family, his friends and all the fans.

a wet start to 2022...
it started raining last night and hasn't really stopped yet. it supposed to keep going all day today and eventually turn over to snow flurries on Sunday. joy.
i was thrilled to learn yesterday that Foo Fighters were showing their MSG concert from the summer for free on their YouTube channel. so, i watched that whole thing yesterday, mostly because i doubt i will ever get to see them live in person.

welcome to November...
so, my crazy day is just about half over. i'm running on 3 hours of sleep and pretty sure i'm not going to get any more before i have to leave for the game. unless i nap in the shower, which is a possibility.
i did get mom to her appointment this morning. we were there for over a hour. she wanted to get her blood drawn afterwards, but that wasn't possible. so, i got her an appointment for tomorrow, which she now wants to cancel because she hates being up early in the morning. oh well.
i did get to the bank and make a deposit today. thankfully, the bank i usually go to was actually open. of course, they had just one guy working the drive thru and the walk up windows. but, i am a patient soul when i want to be.
the New Orleans Saints defeated Tampa Bay yesterday, 36-27. of course, Jameis Winston tore his ACL in the game and is now done for the season. but, anytime the boys can make Tom Brady look like shit, i am happy.

jumping the gun...
i counted 8 white women today that weren't wearing masks. the governor of this backwards state said today that the masks order will end in 3 weeks. but, as usual, if you are white in this state, you can get away with whatever the fuck you want.
the grocery store wasn't that crowded today. i was able to get everything on the list. didn't find any baseball cards anywhere. my order from Walk Off Wax should be here by the weekend.
NXT was excellent last night.

embracing the pain...
i took a shower this morning, mostly because my back was killing me. this isn't exactly how i was hoping 2021 would start for me.
Manchester United won yesterday 1-0. they should have scored more, but i'll gladly take the victory and moving on in the FA Cup.
