so, i'm starting to believe that maybe my mother's blood sugar is dropping at odd times now. the only other or i can think of is a fucking tumor of some kind and i don't want to have to cross that fucking bridge until i must. so, i tried to do the grocery shopping with all of this on my mind today. thankfully, i was able to get everything on the list and a few extras and not get charged an arm and a leg. i also got some baseball cards today. two boxes at Rite Aid for $11. there were plenty of hall of famers in both boxes, so i'm guessing the cards were worth around $20, so that made me happy.
the Yankees pissed away a 3 run lead last night and lost to the Reds, 4-3. what made it worse was it was the Yankees bullpen that pissed this away. 3 outs from a victory... hopefully, the Yankees will win tonight.
NXT was very good last night.
the season finale of Holey Moley was fucking crazy last night.
Deadliest Catch was good last night.
both episodes of What We Do in the Shadows last night were fucking hilarious.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother and AEW Dynamite.
so, NHL free agency started today. i was pretty interested to see what the New York Rangers were going to do. well, i was a little shocked that they signed Vincent Trocheck. he does fill the need for a second line center. i just hate they had to give him 7 years to get him to sign with the Rangers. they traded Nemeth to Arizona and signed two backup goalies. i can't wait to see what kind of magic Chris Drury works to get their own free agents under the cap now. all in all, i do think Trocheck will help in the short term. now, if he's still playing great 7 years from now at 36 years old, i'll be fucking thrilled.
i think mom is making some tuna for tonight. i didn't want to fire up the oven in the heat again, so i got a veggie tray that i thought we could have for dinner tonight. mom wanted to make some tuna to go along with it and i figure that will be a nice, light dinner for sure.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
until then kids...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
so, i got to bed around 5 this morning because my mother decided not to actually fall to sleep until 4:30 this morning. i woke up when the phone rang at 9:45 AM and she was already up, like she had a full night of rest. she had no clue what i was talking about. then, later this morning, she decided to be a little stubborn and try to move a plant in the kitchen. of course, she lost her balance and fell. i rushed in there from my bedroom and asked her why her rollator was 3 feet away from where she was on the ground. i checked her for a concussion and then helped her get back on her rollator, after she got the dirt up from the carpet. i really was hoping she was getting over this stubborn streak and knew she could ask for my help with anything. but, apparently she is unwilling to give that up. she set up her appointments for physical therapy before she fell. i'm trying to get her to understand she needs to have some protein with her breakfast each morning as the difference is striking when she doesn't. good times.
the USWNT defeated Mexico last night, 1-0.
Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.
Miz & Mrs was hilarious last night.
so, i woke up this morning and saw that Manchester United was already up 3-0 against Liverpool in Thailand. i figured it was a dream. but, when i saw the video and saw that United won the game 4-0, i was pleasantly surprised. now, i know it's the preseason and nothing really counts right now, but still. i'll take a fucking win over Liverpool anytime, any day.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.
a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:
so, it has been storming or at least trying to, all day long. thankfully, i didn't get caught out in the rain while grocery shopping. i did manage to get everything on the grocery list. and since mom found a gift card she had for Kroger, i was able to get everything today for a little over $100. thank god that gift card was $100.
the Yankees lost last night to the Pirates, 5-2. hopefully, they will get a split in the series tonight.

now, most of you already know, i'm not a big gun guy. i have no problem with people who legally own guns, because most of them are responsible human beings. now, with that being said, i will never understand the need for anyone on this fucking planet to own an AR15. i would love to see a complete ban on all semi-automatic weapons in this country, let alone the world. but, i don't have the money that the NRA and all the fucking zombies that follow them have, so that will never happen. so, that also means, shit like yesterday will continue to happen. a legally purchased AR15 used in a mass shooting. good thing i don't pretend that the world is going to help me get through my depression.

the heat today was oppressive for sure. it was classic Ohio in the summer, but it felt like an August heat. the air you can wear. and it was like that from the moment i woke up. of course, i didn't fall asleep to almost 5 in the fucking morning. i was hoping i would get some poems written but that never happened last night. one thing that happens to me in the summer is i have so much other shit i am interested in, the poet in me tends to get lost in the shuffle. every once in a while, i have to blow up that fucker's ego and just go for it. of course, i would love to not have to jump through any fucking hoops. but that utopia has always been foreign to me.
so, the doctor's appointment went well yesterday. my weight was down. my A1C was down. my blood pressure was perfect. hell, the appointment was shorter than the drive there. i will have to do some bloodwork and a urine sample before my next appointment. that is in September.
the baseball cards from Repacked Wax yesterday were excellent. i spent a little under $40 on the 10 packs. there was close to $80 worth of cards in them. that is why i keep buying from them. the best card in the packs was a 1973 Topps Tom Seaver.
the Yankees lost last night down at that dump in Tampa, 5-4. hopefully, they will win the series tonight.
i did watch some of the NHL awards last night. Igor Shesterkin won the Vezina trophy. i have a feeling it won't be the last time he wins it.

the grocery shopping went pretty well today. i was able to keep the bill under $100 at Kroger today. that was a minor miracle.
mom's injection worked for the most part. she knows it can't take away all the pain, but it has taken away a good portion of it.
she is going to try to go to physical therapy tomorrow. so, i'm going to try to get the blog done in the morning so i won't be trying to squeeze it in tomorrow night.
there are storms all around us but no rain here as i am writing this. but my arthritis doesn't know that. fuck me.

i've got a little bit to get a little lunch, write this blog and then go to my appointment. joy.
the Yankees won last night down at that dump in Tampa, 4-2. hopefully, they will win again tonight.

my order from Repacked Wax arrived today. i'll open those cards up when i get home from my doctor's appointment.
the first day of summer certainly didn't disappoint when it comes to heat and humidity. the real feel outside is around 100 degrees right now. i guess i'll put on some more Banana Boat (sunscreen lotion) before i leave.
i will be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.
of course, if i get a wild hair up my ass tonight and send some poems out, there might be a quick blog post around 2 or 3 in the morning. i am back to the old days of me doing my best work in the middle of the fucking night. good times.
that's all for me kids. my lunch of a granola bar and 7 Up Zero is nearly done.

the USMNT played a 1-1 draw at El Salvador last night. the match had a little bit of everything. torrential rain, plenty of mud, both sides getting red cards and the USA drawing level near the death of the game. i enjoyed that the boys showed plenty of fight last night. that will serve them well.
the season finale of Mayans last night was amazing.

Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final is tonight. i will probably watch a little of it.
so, the local grocery store didn't have much to offer today. with the power outages we've had, it looks like they have had to throw a ton of shit out. thankfully, i was able to get most of everything today at Kroger. i will probably need to go to Meijer on Friday to get what i couldn't find today. hopefully it will be cooler by then.
tomorrow is mom's birthday. i guess she is going to try to go to physical therapy tomorrow. i'm preparing myself for the worst as she does not do well in the heat at all.
a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:
so, let me start off where this thing left off at yesterday.
i went to Rite Aid to get my pills. only one prescription was ready. apparently, i called the other two in a day early and they were waiting to fill it so insurance would pay for it. as much as i hate those fucking rules, i do understand. after that, i made my way to the place to get my haircut. there was a 30 minute wait or so. i didn't mind since i was in the air conditioning. of course, just my luck, i was behind a family of 6 getting haircuts. fuck me. eventually, i got my haircut. it certainly feels really good to get the mop that was growing on my head cut off. now, it is back to how i prefer. the hair on my chin is longer than the hair on my head. the stylist that did it is pregnant, so i gave her a very nice tip. she appreciated it.
after that, i went to McDonald's to get my mother a frozen Coke. there was no line, so that made me really happy. after i got home, took a shower and then started doing the dishes. about halfway through the dishes, it started to storm. and then the power went out. it was out for about 10 minutes or so and then came back on. i hurried up and got the dishes done and set all the clocks again.
at 8 last night, right as i was getting ready to watch Monday Night Raw, the power went out again. this time, it was out for over 2 hours. i made sure mom and i both had flashlights. we both recalled all the horror stories of when the power used to go out at the farm. at least where we live now, you can actually flush the toilet more than just one time during a power outage. so, while the power was out, i got a little reading done and wrote one poem. i typed that poem up late last night. i think it is pretty good.
i caught the last hour of Monday Night Raw. i watched most of the highlights on YouTube last night. i certainly don't think i missed much.
Miz & Mrs was pretty funny last night.
i didn't get a chance to watch Don't Forget the Lyrics until this afternoon. it was pretty good.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be NXT, the season finale of Mayans, Deadliest Catch and Holey Moley.
it has been hotter than shit today. it is currently 93 degrees with a feels like temperature of 106. fuck me.
the storms that came through last night nearly destroyed one of our tomato plants. nothing like trying to save that in this fucking heat.
i need to do a load of towels, but i won't be doing those until the sun goes down. i probably won't put out the trash until late tonight as well.
and since this heat warning is supposed to last until tomorrow night, i can just imagine how much fun i will have grocery shopping tomorrow.
here are your highlights from Game 5 of the NBA Finals:
the Yankees start a series tonight against Tampa Bay at Yankee Stadium. hopefully, the Yankees will keep on winning.
the USMNT plays at El Salvador tonight in the CONCACAF Nations League. this should be a nice test for the team. i'm hoping the kids find a way to win tonight.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.

the New York Rangers lost last night at Tampa, 4-1. the series is now 2-2. so, now, it is a best of 3. two of those games are at home for the Rangers. hopefully, they win them. if they play like they did last night at home, the series will end before Game 7.
the New York Yankees won last night at the Twins, 10-4. hopefully, they will win again tonight.

i really need to go ice my back, so that's all for me kids.

the New York Rangers play Game 4 tonight in Tampa. considering Colorado swept Edmonton last night, i would love for the Rangers to be taking a 3-1 lead back to MSG after tonight. if they are going to do that, they will need to play 60 minutes of hockey. there can be no passengers, no stupid penalties and they MUST not put all of this on their goaltender.
the New York Yankees play tonight in Minnesota. hopefully they will extend their winning streak to 7 games.
i do plan on watching some soccer this afternoon, probably while i'm doing the dishes.
