of course, more rain...

 i didn't mind the rain when i lived on the farm. i knew we needed it for the crops. but, i'm not on the farm now. and to wake up to rain for like the 3rd day in a row sucks. i know some asshole out there is like think of the alternative. guess what, i have been since i was 8 years old.

the New York Yankees lost last night at home to the Cubs, 3-0. i guess the only time they can win now is when their pitchers are perfect.

WWE Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both really good last night.

AEW Rampage was good last night.

the season finale of Painting with John was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Collision.

so, i woke up this morning to the news that David de Gea was leaving Manchester United after 12 years. i wasn't surprised by this, but i am really disappointed that he never got the sendoff he deserved after all these years at the club. 

the Gold Cup starts back up today. i'll probably watch that and some of the MLS games.

i know mom wants pizza today. hopefully, they will get my order right this time.

i have a couple of poems swimming in my head. hopefully, those will come to shore later today.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

until then kids...

i didn't sleep well last night...

 i'm not sure if it was because i am restless or i was too damn worried if mom was going to start sleepwalking again. so yeah, a few minutes of a nap, toss and turn, a few minutes more. this went on from 1:30 AM to 7:30 AM. my back has been killing me all day. 

we had a guy out here to do the regular check up on the furnace and air conditioner. thankfully, everything is running well. of course, with mom's Meniere's really acting up, anytime the AC comes on, it drives her nuts. so, i have it at 74 right now. i would love if i could just turn the fucker off and open the windows. but, the humidity is worse for her than the noise. fun times.

the New York Yankees had their asses handed to them last night as Baltimore beat them, 14-1. so, basically the first two games of the series the Yankees won didn't mean shit in the end. they start a series tonight at home with the Cubs. 

NJPW was a blast from the past last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage and the season finale of Painting with John. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.

i sort of surprised mom last night with some fried chicken from Lee's. she slept most of yesterday because of her headache and i knew her sodium was going to be really low. so, i figured that would at least give her some salt and protein, which did help her headache some. and, it allowed her to have chicken and waffles this morning for breakfast. 

i am guessing i will be on here tomorrow morning, most likely. 

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

the last day of June...

 so, i wanted to get up early this morning so i could get a few things done (feeding the birds, etc.). i went to bed at 1:30 AM, which is a few hours earlier than i normally try to fall asleep. but, my inner child wasn't tired, so the words started coming to me. i have been in a pretty damn good writing mode this month, and sometimes it just happens like this. once i got a few stanzas into it, i knew i better write this shit down. and holy shit, i think i ended up writing my favorite poem EVER. add that to the other 4 poems i wrote while my mother was in physical therapy and i know i will have some poems to send out for submissions in early July.

the New York Yankees won yesterday at Oakland, 10-4. they start a series tonight at St. Louis.

NJPW was really good last night.

i did watch some of both Gold Cup games last night.

i did go to Rite Aid today to pick up my prescriptions. hats off to the young woman working the counter at the pharmacy as she found both of them in the mess they have going on there. of course, the one i needed is on order. of course.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

i should be on here tomorrow before WWE Money in the Bank comes on in the afternoon tomorrow from London.

it seems like this month has flown by. i hope everyone enjoys the last day of June. the silly season with free agency is getting ready to really begin. i hope Manchester United, the New York Rangers, the New York Knicks and Sacramento Kings do well, at least for my own sake.

 today has been a long one. i got my usual 4 hours of sleep, but it has been raining on and off for most of the day. so, my arthritis has been fucking raging. joy. i did take mom to get her injection. after that, i had to go to Rite Aid to get my prescription. amazingly, the guy that mows our lawn found a dry hour to get that done today. 

the New York Yankees lost last night at home to Seattle, 10-2. they start a series tonight at home against the Texas Rangers.

the guy that came out to give us an estimate for our kitchen seemed pretty cool. if we go with him, the kitchen will look very different than it does now. i'm not opposed to that.

happy birthday to my mother...

 well, since the last time i was on here, some things have happened... i wrote 4 poems yesterday while mom was in her physical therapy session. i typed those up eventually last night. they are pretty good. on the way to lunch after physical therapy, saw a really good car accident. two women, both on the phone, in a construction zone. the jokes write themselves people. mom wanted to have lunch at Lee's. she got a free lunch for her birthday. we ate in the restaurant. it wasn't bad. got back home and was going to go to Kroger last night for mom's pills. she said go on Friday instead. ah, the beauty of hindsight...

so, i got up this morning later than i wanted and put on some cinnamon rolls for mom's birthday breakfast. i had to go to Lowe's to get the garage door lubricant i ran out of. mom wanted me to find her a snake plant. they had everything but that there. after that, i went to Big Lots and found some hockey cards. then, i went to Dollar General and found some baseball cards. after that, i went to the bank to deposit my check. and then finally, i went to Kroger. i had to get mom's pills, a birthday cake and some hand soap. and while i was waiting in line, i got her some alcohol for her birthday. she texted me as i was getting ready to leave the parking lot, wondering where i was. i figured she would enjoy some time alone.

the USMNT defeated Mexico last night, 3-0. the game was ugly, which i was kind of expecting as Mexico has fallen way behind the USA now in soccer. 4 red cards in the game. the USA will play Canada Sunday for the CONCACAF Nations League title, but they will be without McKinnie and Dest. plus, i wasn't thrilled with the news last night that they were hiring the old coach back again.

NJPW was really good last night.

i did write 4 poems yesterday while mom was doing her physical therapy. i typed those up and really liked them. i will hopefully do a little writing this weekend as well.

the New York Yankees lost the first game of the doubleheader against the White Sox yesterday, 6-5. they won the second game, 3-0. they start a series tonight at home against Boston.

gutted

 so, i got up this morning, feeling pretty good. of course, my arthritis showed up the same time i did to make breakfast. it is always fun when you can't open shit so you have to cut it and put it in a Ziploc bag so it won't go bed. joy. i made breakfast and was finishing it up when the FA Cup final started this morning.

12 fucking seconds in and Manchester City went up on Manchester United in the FA Cup final. i was pissed but shit, there was still plenty of the game to go. United got a lifeline in the 33rd minute when City got called for a penalty. Bruno scored to level the game at 1-1. needless to say, i was really hoping United could pull it out in the second half. City scored again in the 51st minute. United tried to level it again, but were never close to being clinical enough to do so. so now City will have the chance to do what only the 1999 Manchester United team did and that is to win the treble. (Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League).  i'm really hoping Inter Milan will be up for it in a week in Istanbul. but, i am also very aware, when City shows up and plays how it is capable, there aren't many teams in the world that can stop them. all in all, this was a much better season for Manchester United. now, they need to get new owners and sell a ton of players and bring in a new striker, midfield help and probably some new defenders and march forward. i do believe they finally have the right manager in ETH. now, get the players he wants and let him build a winner.

after the match was over, i went to Rite Aid to get my prescriptions. 

the New York Yankees lost at the Dodgers last night, 8-4. the game was basically over in the first inning when the Dodgers went up 6-0. hopefully, the Yankees will win tonight.
