a rainy day, filled with arthritis and frustration...

 i always love when a day starts off with me not making it to the bathroom in time. i swear, these are the days i just shake my head and know the 8 year old me was right. hard to believe we're coming up on 40 years since i first thought of suicide.

let me start off with my doctor's office visit yesterday. my blood pressure was great. my A1C was up. they believe it is due to stress. and all the usual, i need to exercise more, watch what i eat, etc. they are upping my dose of Trulicity. so, i hope that works. i need to get my blood drawn sometime this month. joy.

Manchester United won yesterday at home against Real Betis, 4-1. that gives them a very good chance of advancing in the Europa League when they go to Spain next week. 

the Dayton Flyers defeated St. Joe's yesterday, 60-54. they will play Fordham tomorrow afternoon in the semifinals.

the New York Rangers won last night in Montreal, 4-3 in a shootout. they play tomorrow at Buffalo.

the New York Knicks lost last night at Sacramento, 122-117.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

Young Sheldon was pretty good last night.

NJPW was good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage, the finale of The 12th Victim, Real Time with Bill Maher and Game Theory with Bomani Jones. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.

i've got my last load of laundry in the dryer. i vacuumed the whole house today. my back is fucking killing me.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. it will probably be in the morning most likely.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

until then kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay off the fucking streets.

get the fucking shot.

encontrar el placer en el dolor

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

peace and chicken grease...

sometimes even the auto-pilot gets tired...

 i got to bed around 4:30 this morning. the joy of having to do the dishes and take a shower and deciding you can't check your email or you wouldn't get any sleep. i suppose i am burning the candle at both ends again. joy. i had to be up this morning to make sure mom got up before the contractor got here. i know damn well when he's done she will probably sleep until 3 in the afternoon. i have been on fumes all day. i had to chew gum just to stay awake. i did get the grocery shopping done. i got everything on the list and somehow managed to keep everything under $200.

the New York Knicks lost last night at home to Charlotte, 112-105. that ended their winning streak. oh well.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

NXT was excellent last night.

both episodes of MLW were pretty good last night.

The Voice was pretty good last night.

That's My Jam was pretty funny last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite, The Masked Singer and Snowfall.

i have a doctor's appointment tomorrow afternoon, so i think i am going to be on here in the morning and get this done before i have to go. that will also let me not have to write a blog after Manchester United plays tomorrow in the Europa League. hopefully, i will be writing about a victory come Friday.

i think i am going to make some bacon cheeseburgers for dinner tonight.

the bathroom is getting closer to being done. mom is also having the floor done in the other bathroom. the contractor said he should be done with everything by Tuesday.

i did watch a little of the Champions League today. of course, i took the sucker bet that i would make some money if Messi or Mbappe would score today. Bayern Munich beat PSG 2-0.

that's all for me today kids.

until tomorrow...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay off the fucking streets.

get the fucking shot.

tossing and turning in the single digits...

 i think it got down to around 4 degrees last night. i tossed and turned all night, never quite able to find a good position. good times.

Celebrity Big Brother was pretty good last night. it is quite obvious they only did the show to have programming to go against the Olympics. 

Monday Night Raw was good last night.

i did watch some of the USA vs. Canada last night in women's hockey. Canada won 4-2.

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT.

so, i guess mom fell this morning in the bathroom. i must have been in the kitchen making my breakfast, because i didn't hear anything. she told me about it while i was making her egg for her breakfast. she has this obsession that she has to get naked to take her weight. i asked her, wouldn't it be safer to not do that? she rebuffed that notion and i, like the smart ass i am, then said... if the mental boost of being a few pounds lighter at best is more important than the possibility of slipping, hitting your head on toilet and dying, then just keep doing what you are doing. i can't imagine why i get frustrated...

Manchester United plays this afternoon at Burnley. i'm hoping United will win, but i won't be shocked if they struggle once again and probably fucking blow it, again.

i guess i will be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done. i know the Dayton Flyers play tomorrow night at home. i would love to go to the game but with mom's health and balance being shitty here lately, that won't be happening. 

i need to go get the mail and work on the driveway a little bit more. i'm trying to get a clear path to get the trash down to the street without me having to do it on ice skates.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay socially distant.

get the fucking shot.

Me pregunto si muero solo, ¿alguien se dará cuenta?

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.
