it was really fucking hot today, just like yesterday. and it is supposed to continue into tomorrow. great.
the New York Yankees won last night, over Tampa, 2-0. hopefully, they will win again tonight.
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.
Deadliest Catch was really good last night.
Holey Moley was crazy as usual last night.
NXT was excellent last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and AEW Dynamite.
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.
until tomorrow kids...

i tweaked my back last night in the shower. well, technically, it was around 4 AM, so i guess you could say this morning. but, i have been moving like an old ass man all day long today. that is why the blog is late. grocery shopping today was a chore to say the least. but, i did get everything on the list.
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.
NXT was really good last night.
Deadliest Catch was excellent last night.
Holey Moley was crazy as usual last night.

mom told me today she is going to try to go to physical therapy tomorrow. i was pretty surprised that she feels like she can. of course, we'll see how she feels around noon tomorrow, if she is awake by then.
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.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.

so, i woke up a little later than i wanted to this morning and it feels like i have been trying to catch up ever since. it is getting ready to rain here, so most of the anal retentive neighbors are trying to get their grass cut before it happens. mind you, most of them just mowed their lawns 2 or 3 days ago. this is what i fucking loved about living on the farm. i mowed the grass when it needed it, not just so the neighbors would think my grass looks pretty.
i had to go to 4 different stores today to get what was on the grocery list. i got all but 1 damn thing. i'll go out looking for that tomorrow when i have to go to the bank and get gas anyway.
the Yankees beat the Angels last night, 9-1. hopefully, they will do the same tonight.

the USMNT plays a friendly tonight against Morocco down in Cincinnati. i do plan on watching some of that.
the New York Rangers play Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals tonight at home against the Lightning. i really hope the boys come out on fire and Tampa is rusty as hell from the 9 days off.
i highly doubt mom is going to go to physical therapy tomorrow. so, i will most likely be on here after i go to the bank and find that damn bug spray she wants me to get. and i probably should get some gas even though it is expensive as fuck right now.
a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:
so, i was fully engaged last night with Game 7 between the Rangers and Carolina. when the Rangers got 2 first period goals on the power play and Trouba knocked out one of Carolina's best players with a clean hit, i had a really good feeling. and by the end of the game, with mostly blue shirts in the stands shouting Let's Go Rangers, i was happy. the Rangers won Game 7 on the road, 6-2. that was Carolina's first loss at home all playoffs. now, the Rangers will host the Lightning in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals at MSG. the Lightning will not be easy to beat that's for certain. they are trying to win their 3rd straight Stanley Cup. basically, it will be which Russian goalie plays best will win the series. i like the Rangers chances because they don't know any better at this point. let the youth lead you and climb onboard boys. i can't wait for tomorrow night.
Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.
Don't Forget the Lyrics was very good last night.

Game 1 of the Western Conference finals is tonight between Colorado and Edmonton. there is so much damn talent in this series, i truly hope non-hockey fans check it out and see how beautiful the game can be at times.
the Yankees start a series tonight at home against the Angels.
mom didn't go to physical therapy today. she's a little pissed that they won't give her anything stronger for her bruised tailbone. i told her she should have done this a decade ago and she would already have a couple of bottles of Oxy waiting for her. i had to go to Kroger today to get her some pills and some other shit that she hopes will numb the pain enough for her to sleep.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.

i got the news of the shooting yesterday in Texas while i was eating a late lunch. as the night went on and the death total increased, i just sort of slumped in my chair in complete apathy. nothing ever fucking changes in this country. and as much as i would love to say thoughts and prayers to the victims families etc., that is just so fucking trite anymore. and we all know, contacting your senators does fucking nothing. you have to vote out all the clowns if you ever want change and that won't happen either. i jokingly told mom that the Democrats should bait the Republicans and put forth gun reform they actually would vote for. just write a bill that no non-white person in this country can legally own a gun. the Republicans would jump at the chance to pass that in a heartbeat, just to say they did do something about gun reform. there is no fucking reason on this fucking earth that anyone should own an AR-15. let alone be legally allowed to buy one on their 18th birthday. and for once, i would love if someone would actually mention the need to heavily invest in mental health in this country. i haven't written any poems about all this shit yet, but i'm sure they will come eventually.
mom's appointment yesterday went well. i have to take her tomorrow to get some blood drawn before she does her physical therapy. and sometime they should be calling to set up an appointment with a psychiatrist. her doc and i both agreed that there needs to be a little mental health aspect to all of this as well. i think it could just be a tweak of her meds that could do the trick. it is obvious they aren't doing much for depression at the moment.
the New York Rangers defeated Carolina last night, 4-1, to even their series at 2-2. it is a best of 3 now. if the Rangers can get a win in Carolina, hopefully on Thursday, then they will have the chance to win the series at MSG. Carolina hasn't won a road playoff game yet.
the Yankees won last night over Baltimore, 7-6 in 11 innings. hopefully, they will win the series tonight.

at least i got the grocery shopping done before the fucking rain came today.
the local grocery store was taking cash only today. so, i didn't shop there as i hardly have any cash on me anymore. so, i got everything on the list at Kroger this week. as i told mom when i got home, i kept it under $200.
i'm going to try to be on here in the morning tomorrow. if not then, it will be after i get back home from taking mom to physical therapy.
this rain is killing my back at the moment so that's all for me kids.

as a sports fan, i do a pretty good job of staying in the moment. the task at hand, etc. i do my best to apply that to my life. and i am trying to get mom to do that as well. my belief is when her mind starts to wander off into the distance, her auto-pilot is drunk and asleep at the wheel. that would explain the falls, etc. just a theory but it makes sense, at least in my eyes.
i wrote 2 poems while mom was in physical therapy yesterday. i typed those up after we ate lunch. she wanted an Orange Cream shake from Arby's, so we just got lunch from there. i tried that new Wagyu beef sandwich they have. it was really good. the poems were really good as well. i'm hoping to get another handful of poems written this week so i'll have plenty to choose from for the next round of submissions.
the New York Yankees lost to Baltimore last night, 6-4. that is 3 losses in a row for the Yankees. hopefully, they will end that fucking streak tonight.

so, i didn't get to bed until 4 this morning. i did mom a favor and got the dishes all washed. i was getting up to take a piss when i noticed her bathroom light on. i was going to go in and make a joke about our cycles matching up, etc. when i noticed she was on the floor. i asked her how she fell this time. thankfully, she didn't hit her head. what concerned me the most was we spent a hour of her forgetting how to crawl or move her legs to actually get up. after 30 minutes, i threatened to call the fire department. after a hour, i went through with my threat. now, i know this makes me the asshole son in her eyes, but so be it. they sent three firefighters out here and they got her up. the female helped mom go to the bathroom and get changed. mom refused to go to the hospital, which i understood since she wasn't cut anywhere. it was more than anything, her ego and pride were embarrassed and bruised. i told her after they left, since the precedent has been set, i'm not going to wait as long next time. i need to go get some better lighting for her bathroom as i fully believe this is all due to her shitty eyesight. and of course, since she really had to go, she didn't bother to use her new rollator. this threw my whole morning routine out the window. i thankfully got a little nap in after i had breakfast. that way i wasn't a complete fucking zombie today doing the grocery shopping.

so, i barely, and i mean, fucking barely, got mom to her appointment this morning on time. i dread anytime she has an appointment in the morning as my mother isn't fully functional before fucking noon. so, when i pulled into the parking lot at 10:14 for a 10:15 appointment, my adrenaline was pumping. so, it wasn't until the doctor came in that anyone mentioned her MRI results. and of course, that someone was me. the first thing the doctor wants to do is surgery. now, i know why he wants that, as that is how he makes the most money. mom has no interest in back surgery. so, he decided that she could continue her injections. they are going to try another spot to focus on to see if they do better for her. that will be in a few weeks. then we have a follow up visit a month after that. i'm really hoping the injection works this time. if not, i think back surgery might be the only hope mom will have given how severe her spinal stenosis is now.
i did make it to the bank after we got home. and i got gas as well. $53 to fill up. and that was with 50 cents off a gallon. fuck me runnin'.
the New York Yankees won last night in Baltimore, 6-2. hopefully, they will win again tonight. they are on a win pace right now that is insane, considering they are on the same pace the 1998 Yankees were on. that is the best baseball team i have ever seen play.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done. of course, it is supposed to rain tomorrow. just my fucking luck.
