more snow than expected...

 so, i took a shower late last night. i didn't get to sleep until almost 6 this morning. imagine my fucking joy waking up with a cramp in my left leg after just 3 hours of sleep.

i know i said yesterday that i would have the blog done before the Manchester United game was going to start today. well, that didn't happen. United is down 1-0 at Tottenham so far today.

 today has been one of those days where my arthritis has been dragging me down. i did make it to Kroger to get the muscle relaxers they ordered for mom. they seem to be working so far. i think she finally got some sleep last night. glad she did, i might have got a good 3 hours. i did get a couple hours this afternoon with ice on my back. always fun to put ice right on your spine and try to freeze all the activity going down the spinal cord. good times.

 so, i got up early this morning so i could watch the Manchester United game. they lost to Crystal Palace at home, 2-0. besides that, they probably also lost Lisandro Martinez to a really bad injury as he was carted off the field in tears. fuck me.

i plucked an ingrown hair off of my face a few minutes ago. i just now got the bleeding to stop. i swear, one fucking thing after another.

the Royal Rumble last night was excellent. i was legitimately shocked when Jey Uso won the men's Royal Rumble. i didn't think the WWE would have the balls to have him beat John Cena at the end. and to be honest, this is exactly how i want Cena to go out. lose every match he has in his retirement tour. that's the best way for him to pass the torch to the next generation. Charlotte winning the women's Royal Rumble made plenty of sense. it was so cool to see Alexa Bliss back. all in all, it was an excellent start on the road to WrestleMania.

AEW Collision was ok last night.

Austin City Limits was really good last night.

the New York Rangers lost yesterday at Boston, 6-3. J.T. Miller scored 2 goals in his return to the team. hopefully, the boys will win tonight at home against Las Vegas.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Dexter: Original Sin. i will probably be watching the 2025 Grammys for most of the evening.

mom and i had a little talk last night about my concerns with her. i don't like that she can't remember how she fell yesterday. in my mind at least, that has to be yet another sleepwalking episode. i told her last night that with how things are now, i don't see her making it through this year. 

there was a massive NBA trade last night. and by massive, i mean shocking as fuck.

not sure what i'm going to do this afternoon other than vacuuming the house once mom wakes up.

i should be on here in the afternoon on Monday most likely.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.

 mom has all these plants in the kitchen. she woke up last night after 1 hour of sleep to see how they were and get some heat on out there. i was still up since she has the tendency to sleep walk sometimes. i told her wouldn't it make more sense to just turn the furnace up. thankfully, that logic made sense to her and she went back to sleep. one thing i can say with certainty, there will be no plants in this house once she dies.

i wrote 2 poems last night. anytime i get close to my birthday, the poems start to flow. misery and death never seem to be that far away.

the New York Rangers lost at Montreal last night, 5-4 in OT.

the conference championship games are set in the NFL. the Bills beat the Ravens last night, 27-25. Buffalo will play at the Chiefs for the AFC championship. the Eagles beat the Rams yesterday, 28-22. the Eagles will host the Commanders for the NFC championship.

The Agency was excellent last night. next week is the season finale.

a comeback for the ages...

 when the Rangers got down yesterday 4-1 against the Islanders, i wasn't happy. but, i didn't give up hope yet either. now, no team had ever come back from a 3 goal deficit while playing in one of the outdoor games. the Rangers coach had never won one of these games. but, the franchise is undefeated in outdoor games. thankfully, the Islanders made the mistake of putting the Rangers on the power play. the Islanders penalty kill is the worst in the league. honestly, it is worse than most teams i have seen in the lower leagues. the Rangers came all the way to tie the game at 5 in regulation. then, 10 seconds into overtime, Artemi Panarin ended it with one of the craziest endings in a long time. Rangers won 6-5, in OT. they are now 5-0 in outdoor games.

the Daytona 500 got rained out yesterday. so, they will race this afternoon.

Manchester United won yesterday, 2-1, at Luton Town.

i did watch some of the NBA All-Star game last night. the East won 211-186.

 so, i was up at 3 in the morning doing the dishes in the bathtub. i know there is a poem there somewhere. i really wanted to sleep in this morning. i was still up before 9. mom is just now getting out of bed. maybe i'll sleep more as i approach death.

well, let me start off where this left off yesterday.

Manchester United lost 3-0 yesterday at home to Bournemouth. the boys were absolutely pathetic. i don't have much hope for the match on Tuesday at home against Bayern Munich.
