when Manchester United was up 2-0 at halftime yesterday, i felt pretty confident. when they were down 4-2 in extra time against Lyon (playing with 10 men), i felt horrible. then, Casemiro got fouled in the box. Bruno scored the penalty kick. then, Casemiro and Bruno made a great little passing play to Kobbie Mainoo to make it 4-4. one minute after that, Casemiro made the perfect pass to Harry Maguire to head in the winner. 3 goals in 7 minutes. holy shit. one of the craziest games i can remember. first European game to have 5 goals scored in extra time. United won 5-4 and 7-6 on aggregate. they advance to the semifinals of the Europa League.
a delightful trip into the dark mind of an evil genius or simply the musings of an asshole

it never gets boring...
so, i was getting ready to write this about a hour ago. that was until i heard mom scream from her room. i went in and turned on the light and asked what was wrong? she started complaining about all the people in her room, etc. i told her she is once again hallucinating and thinking her dreams are reality. i explain to her all the time this is the byproduct of not doing any drugs while growing up in the 60's.

a cloudy Friday...
so, i guess i really needed some sleep last night as i just completely passed out in my massage chair around 12:15. i woke up at 3:53 and was shocked. i didn't even do mom's eyes before she fell asleep. i apologized to her this morning about that. as usual, i'm guessing it was the gin.

sometimes the pain gets to be so much...
so, after i did the dishes at 3 in the morning... i woke up from a nap while watching AEW... the rain was just enough last night to get my arthritis going to the point where the pain just shut my body off. between the pain, alcohol, etc. i was either in a deep sleep or partially dead. now, it was only for 45 minutes, but it certainly felt longer.

the Yankees won yesterday at Detroit, 4-3. they are off today and start a series tomorrow night at home against San Francisco.

one day i'm sure arthritis will win this war with me...
when it rains like it has for the last couple of days, i basically know i am not going to get any good sleep. so, i basically live off of the three hours at night, a few naps here and there, etc. last night, i tried to write some poems and have that make me sleepy. after i typed up the 4 i wrote, sleep really didn't come. joy.

a night of storms...
we had some thunderstorms last night, a couple tornado warnings, plenty of fucking wind, but no damage that i could see this morning. of course, i slept like shit, as usual. mom wanted me to wake her up this morning at 9 so she could call her accountant and tell him she wouldn't be coming in today. i guess i will bring him the taxes when she is done with everything. if my mother has mastered one thing in her life... procrastination.
the Yankees lost last night at home to Arizona, 4-3. they will hopefully avoid the sweep tonight.

finally got to turn the furnace off...
i told mom last night that when she got up today, i would turn the furnace off and open up the house. as usual, she can't remember these conversations. so, when she finally got out of bed at 2 PM today, she was surprised the house was still closed up and i was napping in my massage chair. she thought i would just open the house this morning. i said i would have, but when i talked to you at 10 AM, you said you were cold. i just imagine what her life would be like if i didn't have any patience left.
the New York Rangers won last night at Minnesota, 3-2, in OT.

this is what happens...
so, i was dead tired last night and went to sleep a little after 2 AM. i woke up feeling really relaxed. i rolled over and the clock said 4:41 AM. i deflated. it was then a process of twenty minute naps until 6 AM came along. i frustratingly got up and got my day going. of course, after i had breakfast and talked to mom a bit, i went out to my massage chair and fell asleep. 3 hours later, woke up and was shocked. i would give a limb to get a decent night of continuous sleep.
The Masked Singer was crazy as usual last night.

not the Friday i was hoping for...
and i'm not talking about the NHL trade deadline with the subject heading, more on that later. no, i'm talking about my trip to Kroger today. they texted me yesterday to tell me my Jardiance was ready to pick up at $242.50. the last two times i got it, it was $45. so, i did my due diligence and tried to find a way to get it cheaper. so, i thought i found something going through GoodRx, and filled out the form and got a card, etc. so, i showed that at the pharmacy today and the lady told me they weren't accepting this, you're not in the system. this is the exact fucking reason why i wanted Obama when he changed the healthcare in this country to cut out the fucking insurance companies completely. there is no fucking reason on earth i should pay $242.50 for a medicine that i paid $45 for a month ago. what is the fucking point of having insurance. as i told my mother when i got home, all this truly is is further proof of why it is more cost effective to die than live. they wonder why there are so many fucking suicides... so, i really hope my bets hit tonight as i need the fucking money now. not how i was hoping any of this was going to go.
now, for the trade deadline. i was hoping the Rangers might make a stunner today, but wasn't expecting one. they did make a trade last night after i got the blog done. as for today, they made a minor trade with Buffalo. there was some big trades today, mostly involving Boston, Dallas, Florida, etc.

had a little snow last night...
i woke up this morning and the internet was out. i didn't think much of it. i have this shit happens philosophy now that i am trying to adhere to. now, when it was 90 minutes later and the internet was still out, i was starting to wonder what the fuck is going on. thankfully, that was when it came back on.
the New York Rangers lost last night at home to Washington, 3-2, in OT.

the winds from hell, and then another dose of winter...
it has been very windy today. and apparently, winter will return this weekend. joy.
so, i did catch some of the shit show that happened in the oval office today. if anyone in this country actually thought Orange Hitler and his puppet vice president actually gave a shit about Ukraine, if you still believe that after today, you are one of the dumbest motherfuckers that has ever existed. i'm sure that every previous president that knows just how fucking evil Russia really is can't fucking believe this bullshit either. i'm sure Putin is laughing his ass off as Orange Hitler is doing exactly what Putin wants. fucking nuts.

and here we go...
i just got back from getting some prescriptions from Kroger. i finally got mom to start taking her medications again. i think she is a little frightened at just how fragile her mental health is anymore. i chuckled and said you should see it from this side. she hugged me and said i'm sure you can't wait until i die. i told her no, i just know it will happen one day. and it will happen when it is your time. so yeah, another uplifting day here in the house of apathy.

just another sports scar...
i tell my mother all the time that when one of my teams lose a heartbreaker, it becomes a scar on my brain. after what happened last night at the 4 Nations Face Off, i have another one to add to the collection. Canada defeated the USA 3-2 in OT to win the 4 Nations Face Off. i should have seen it coming as soon as i saw the footage of Orange Hitler calling the team and wishing them luck.
