happy sunday...

 i do love that today happens to be 4/20 and Easter. they go hand in hand most of the time.

night 1 of WrestleMania was good. a few surprises, probably nothing bigger than what happened in the pre-show. WWE has purchased the Mexican promotion AAA. that floored me. i have always been a fan of lucha libre and can only hope that the WWE machine will make it even bigger. as for the matches, i love that Jey Uso won the title. the Paul Heyman double backstab to end up with Seth Rollins was very good. hopefully, it will be even better tonight.

earlier in the day, NXT Stand & Deliver was really good. 

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night:

Manchester United plays at home today against Wolves. hopefully, they will find a way to win.

the Yankees lost yesterday, 10-8, in 10 innings. they were up 8-4 in the 9th. you can't lose those games. hopefully, they will win today.

i'm sure i will watch some of the NBA and NHL playoffs today.

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

 WrestleMania 41 is this weekend. since i have seen every WrestleMania, i don't plan on ending that streak anytime soon. so, plenty of the next few blogs will have enough wrestling talk to drive you mad. i totally get it if you skip all that to find the other stuff. but, if you are interested in it, enjoy.

Smackdown was excellent last night.

the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony was good last night. it was long as fuck, but i figured it would be.

the Yankees won last night against Tampa Bay, 1-0. hopefully, they will win again this afternoon.

grocery shopping today went pretty well. i was able to get everything on the list and keep it under $200. 

i guess it helps that WrestleMania is on Easter this year. so, there will be no need for the traditional Easter dinner. that saved some money.

i need to go ice my back down.

i also got some baseball cards while i was there. amazingly, found two rookie cards that are actually good.

i see Orange Hitler is trying to find a legal way to deport American citizens. the ACLU lawyers are going to be busy as fuck the next 4 or however long that asshole decides he wants to stay in office.

i hate losing more than i love winning...

 i am a very competitive person. and now that sports gambling is legal, i can put my money where my mouth is. now, i don't have fuck you money to gamble with, but i also stay true to the golden rule... only gamble what you are willing to lose. i did get the national title game last night between Florida and Houston right. i won two different groups on ESPN.com with that bracket. i went 47-16 in the tournament. that is my best record in years. apparently, putting money on it makes me a little more intense on getting shit right. that might be the only thing i worry about with my sports gambling. i am a perfectionist at heart. 

the Yankees lost yesterday at Detroit, 6-2. i did watch some of the game, especially when they were playing in the snow. they play again this afternoon.

the New York Rangers lost last night at home to Tampa Bay, 5-1.

i should be on here tomorrow after i take mom to the accountant to get the taxes done.

i'm hoping the weather won't be too bad tonight.

i have no clue what i am doing for dinner tonight.

good news and a wasted afternoon...

 so, i went to the bank to make a deposit before my doctor's appointment. i got to the doctor's office a little early and amazingly, they got me into my appointment early. my A1C went from 8.4 to 6.0, everyone is thrilled about that. i explained that there will be a little gap in the Rybelsus since Anthem wanted me to pay over $2,600 for it. i did get my Medicaid card today. of course, the mail didn't come before my appointment. so, i'll have to make another trip out tomorrow while grocery shopping. so, i got back home and wanted to cancel my Anthem insurance. the last 2 hours have been spent trying to do that. from what i gather, the fuck up is the plan used to be on the Marketplace but no longer is so the Marketplace can't cancel something they don't have yet Anthem is telling me that is the only way the policy can be cancelled. as i told my mother, this is why death is so popular anymore. i told mom to try to cancel the payment she made last night and maybe then they'll understand to cancel the fucking policy.

i didn't get to watch any of the Manchester United game today. they lost at Nottingham Forest, 1-0.

Monday Night Raw was very good yesterday.

The Voice was excellent last night.

the New York Rangers signed Gabe Perreault last night. that made me very happy.

the Yankees play tonight at home against Arizona.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.

oh yeah, since it is April and April is National Poetry Month, i guess i need to do a little bit on that.

enjoy...

i will probably do two videos a day on poets i like. and in this case, i figured i would start with myself as i have had the kind of day that i know my 8 year old self is laughing about and shaking his head, knowing that death was always the right answer.

 this almost feels like a battle of cat and mouse. not a damn thing in the mail today i was actually hoping for. this is doing wonders for my stress level.

grocery shopping went ok today. thankfully, i kept it under $200. after i got done with that, i had to take mom to get her new glasses. i am really hoping that now that she can see better, she will have a bit more confidence about everything. 

the New York Rangers lost last night at the Los Angeles Kings, 3-1.

well, hurry up and wait...

 i have a doctor's appointment on April 1st. i need to get bloodwork done. i am patiently waiting, i mean as fucking patiently as i possibly fucking can, for my Medicaid cards to show up so i can make the fucking changes to all the shit i have going on. i need to cancel Anthem, but i'm not doing that until the cards show up. and what really pisses me off, if i have been in the system since the 1st, why don't i have any cards 24 fucking days later? makes no fucking sense possible. i got a text from Kroger today that my Rybelsus will cost $2.657.56 to fill. basically, i am now in a Leonard Cohen song where it is way more cost effective to die than continue to struggle to live.

speaking of that, mom's doctor's appointment yesterday was interesting, she is a bit of a chatty person, always her nature. so, she admitted to having thoughts of suicide, etc. one, that pissed me off as it clearly is a reflection on the job i am doing as caretaker. second, of course they want her to think about taking some more pills to perhaps lighten her mood. third, why the fuck are these appointments two fucking hours long. 

we went to Arby's after the appointment and got home in time to watch Monday Night Raw. it was a really good show, once again.

The Voice was very good last night.

 we have a wicked cold front getting ready to come through here tonight. it was in the 60's today. they just said on the weather that it won't make it to the 40's tomorrow. good times.

grocery shopping went pretty well today. my pinched nerve didn't fuck with me too much. now, when i got home and mom was still asleep... that was when my pinched nerve decided to be an asshole. but, i got all the groceries in and put away. i got mom a Pecan Snickers bar when i was in the checkout lane. i figured when i saw that she was still asleep, she would eat it for her breakfast at 4 in the afternoon.

the New York Rangers lost last night at home to Calgary, 2-1. if they are going to play like that the rest of the season, they will not make the playoffs.

i was driving home from the bank today and a poem came to me. it never fucking fails, the good ones always come when i don't have a chance to write them down. thankfully, i basically repeated it to myself and wrote it out by the time i got home.
