goodbye to june...

 hard to believe today is the last day of June. i went to bed last night before 2 AM. sadly, all that means anymore is i will be up by 6 AM. sure enough. at least my blood sugar was lower. i got the notice in the mail yesterday why the Rybelsus was denied. apparently, just because a drug is unavailable, doesn't mean you can change over to the another drug in the same class. apparently, the insurance is ok with me going without my medicine and just get so bad you have no choice but to go on insulin for the rest of your life. fuck me.

the New York Yankees lost yesterday at Toronto, 9-3. hopefully, they will split the series today.

the Euro 2024 matches yesterday were good. Switzerland defeated Italy 2-0 and Germany beat Denmark 2-0. today England plays Slovakia and Spain takes on Georgia.

i did watch some of the Copa America games last night. Argentina beat Peru 2-0 and Canada and Chile played to a 0-0 draw. that means Argentina and Canada both advance to the knockout rounds. today, Mexico plays Ecuador and Jamaica takes on Venezuela.

AEW Collision was good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Chi and Power Book II: Ghost.

other than soccer, i'm sure i will watch some NASCAR and golf today, all in hopes of getting some more sleep.

i went to Rite Aid yesterday and the pharmacy was closed. so, guess where i'll be going back to today...

i will probably be on here tomorrow after a trip to the bank.

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

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

stay off the fucking streets.

get the fucking shot.

rain is on the way...

 so, at about 6 last night, i called Kroger to see what was up with the Rybelsus. they told me that they are still awaiting authorization to fill the prescription. i asked why did it say it was being worked on the website then? they said that is just customary, not the actual event. joy. so, i sent a message to the doctor's office and now i'm right back in the waiting game. and people wonder why people hate the healthcare system in this country. i'm sure if i was rich, none of this would be happening. these are the days where i want to get just enough money to have my own island, so i have someplace to die in peace.

i got over 5 hours of sleep last night. the joy of alcohol and muscle relaxers. now, i didn't take them together, i'm not in my 20's anymore. i'm just happy the pinched nerve is calm enough now i can sleep in my bed for more than 2 hours.

the New York Yankees finally had their offense wake up last night at they destroyed Toronto, 16-5. hopefully, they will win again this afternoon.

i did watch some of the NHL Draft last night. i am pleased with whom the Rangers drafted:

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

AEW Rampage was ok last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.

Fantasmas was crazy last night.

i did watch a little of the Copa America games last night. i will do the same tonight.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Collision.

the Euro 2024 games start back up today.

i have a prescription ready at Rite Aid. i'll probably get that later today.

i will probably be on here tomorrow in the morning, most likely.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

imagine if i could actually get some good sleep...

 i really tried to sleep in my bed last night. i couldn't find a comfortable position for anything. after 45 minutes, i gave up and went out to the living room. if i get some ice on my back in my massage chair, i'm usually out in a few minutes. i got close to 4 hours in that chair last night and a good long nap watching tennis this morning. i guess Dan Soder's line is correct... you want to get some sleep? eat a big meal. it never fails.

the New York Yankees came from behind yesterday in the top of the 9th and defeated San Francisco, 7-5. the Yankees are off tonight and start a series at home against the Twins tomorrow.

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night:

the Stanley Cup Final is set. Game 1 will be Edmonton at Florida on Saturday night.

The Chi was very good last night.

Last Week Tonight was EXCELLENT as usual.

i did get my shipment of sports cards i ordered today. i was hoping they would be better but i did get a few good ones and plenty of cards i had never seen before. so, the collector in me loved that. the businessman man in me wants to kill that little fucker.

i think i am going to go to Rite Aid when i get this done to pick up my pills. i'll make dinner when i get back home.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

i should be on here tomorrow in the morning. i'm going to try to get the blog done before mom has physical therapy in the afternoon.

hello frustration, it's me again...

 last night was one of those nights where it started so well and then ended like a fresh slice of hell. between the Rangers losing in OT, the Yankees blowing a lead late, to the thunderstorm hitting late at night, to writing 3 poems while my left arm is radiating like i'm having a heart attack... i find it funny that my first thoughts of suicide came 40 years ago. maybe the roulette wheel of death is finally stopping on me. good times.

the Rangers lost last night at Florida, 3-2, in OT. the Rangers played their best first period of the series and were up 1-0. they responded to that by sleepwalking more or less through the rest of the game. i wasn't thrilled with the penalties they took or the ones the refs invented. they could have called 3 different penalties on Florida before OT and course swallowed the whistle then. but the first fucking chance they could call one on the Rangers in OT, they did. now, do i think the league wanted to make damn sure this series was going back to MSG 2-2? yes, 100% sure of that. sad to say, but the Rangers best players have to start being their best players if they actually want to fucking win this series. Game 5 is Thursday night.

the New York Yankees lost last night at the Angels, 4-3. hopefully, they will find a way to win tonight.

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

NXT was very good last night. two surprises that i never saw coming.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite and NJPW.

i'm sure i will watch some of the NHL playoffs tonight.

grocery shopping was a pain today. my pinched nerve was really bothering me. didn't help that i had shitty, and i mean really shitty sleep last night. less than 2 hours in my bed and less than 3 hours in the massage chair. fuck me. and, i have had to go to Rite Aid two different times to get pills today. why it is so god damn hard to wait until you have all 3 filled and then text me to come get them... fuck me. 

i did write 3 poems last night. between the pain and anger, i felt like it was a good time to get that shit down on paper. hopefully, i will get some more written soon.

well, first shit of the day at 6 PM. i'm guessing that is a sign of impending doom.

i ordered mom's birthday gifts last night. amazingly, they are supposed to be here by Friday. 

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

until then kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

8 wins away from glory...

 so, when the New York Rangers started the 3rd period last night down 3-1 at Carolina, i told my mother it was going to take one hell of a third period for the Rangers to close out the series. well, Chris Kreider said hold my beer and took over the game. he scored a natural hat trick to take the lead and the Rangers eventually won the game, 5-3. that clinched the series, 4-2. now, they will face either Boston or Florida in the Eastern Conference final. 

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night:

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

the New York Yankees swept the Twins yesterday, winning 5-0. the Twins only scored 1 run in the 3 game series. the Yankees play at home tonight against the White Sox.

the two episode series finale of Young Sheldon was pretty good last night.

I Can See Your Voice was crazy as usual.

Welcome to Wrexham was very good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, Real Time with Bill Maher and Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.

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

it did rain for a little bit today. i'm sure mom didn't mind as she finally got her plants planted outside. she was really happy that i trusted her enough to go to Rite Aid and get my pills yesterday while she was outside doing the plants on the back porch. now, to be honest, my nerves were raging, but i figured as long as i don't put the thought of her falling out into the universe, she would be fine. thankfully, she was.

i will probably take a shower after i get this done and then make dinner. i'm thinking i might do nachos tonight.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

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

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night:

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

Manchester United lost yesterday at Crystal Palace, 4-0. to be honest, i turned the game off at 2-0 and went to go get my pills at Rite Aid. and then i went to Kroger to get mom's pills.

The Voice was excellent last night. i have no damn clue who is going home tonight.

Monday Night Raw was really good last night.

finally, some sunshine...

 as we were coming out of mom's appointment with her accountant, the sun was out. that was basically the only thing that stopped me from snapping at her. this was an appointment that should have took less than a hour but was well over a hour because mom can't help herself to not talk about politics, or whatever the fuck else. and i am not a person that needs useless small talk. it doesn't do anything for me. and i certainly see why mom worked the long hours as i can see just how much of her time was spent chatting with anyone that would happen to listen. fuck me. might be the most annoyed i have been in years. but, the taxes are done. hurray. i had to go to Rite Aid after that and pick up some pills. first time mom got to see some of the construction going on around town.

here are your 3 videos for this day of national poetry month:

the New York Rangers lost last night at home to Philadelphia, 4-1. it is painfully obvious that the Rangers have no interest in any of these games now that they are already qualified for the playoffs. my fear is that when the playoffs do start, they will forget to flip the fucking switch back on.

Young Sheldon was very funny last night.

NJPW was new last night although the guide said it was a rerun. i guess the show is moving to Wednesday nights now.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage, Real Time with Bill Maher and Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.

the Yankees got rained out tonight in Cleveland, so they will be playing a day/night doubleheader tomorrow.

so, i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow seeing that the Yankees and Manchester United will playing around the same time.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

i need to get going on dinner.

 so, last night i fell asleep thinking of the girlfriend i had when i was 23 years old. and trying to wrap my head around that was 25 fucking years ago. i'm guessing that crept into my mind because i was listening to Prince songs last night as i fell asleep. 

i did make it to the bank and Rite Aid this morning. at least the sun was out.

Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both pretty good last night.

AEW Rampage was good last night.

the rain isn't helping...

 today has been all about managing pain and frustration. i'd like to think i would get a gold star today. so, a little after 9 this morning, i called Rite Aid because i knew i was going to run out of a pill by tonight. i already had a new prescription for it on hold, so i wanted them to fill it. the lady on the phone said the insurance isn't willing to pay for it until March 1st. well shit. i mentioned something about GoodRx and they said they will try it but it has been giving them problems today so far. they insisted that i call my insurance company and get them to override it. so, after i ate breakfast, i called the insurance company. what a fucking waste of time. i got transferred 3 times and none of the people were someone i actually needed to talk to. all of them said that Rite Aid should call to get the override. so, after all that bullshit, i called Rite Aid back up. i told them what the insurance company said and they said well, that isn't how it normally happens. anyway, we were able to run it through GoodRx and it will be ready in a few minutes. sure enough, i got a text 3 minutes later that it was ready. i went to Rite Aid and picked it up and got back home before all the rain came today. gold fucking star.

and now we get to the Dayton Flyers. what pisses me off the most about how Anthony Grant coaches is none of his teams (except for perhaps the 29-2 team that got robbed right before the pandemic) ever play as good as they can. they always tend to play down to the competition. and rightly so, they will get burned doing this when the attention to detail doesn't exist. last night was the perfect example. rebounding is all about want to. defending without fouling is all about sticking to fundamentals. Dayton got destroyed on both of those. and it wasn't that George Mason is any fucking good, trust me, they aren't, it is all about how Dayton is pissing away the great opportunity they had this season. i hope that they actually drop out of the top 25. that would be the fucking wake up call they need. Dayton lost 71-67. they were actually up by 6 at halftime. i guess maybe they shouldn't have let George Mason go on a 19-0 run in the second half. fuck me.

 i know when i'm finally eating lunch and it is close to 5 PM, i have had a pretty busy day. i made it to the bank and Rite Aid this morning. after that, i had to ice my back down as the weather was truly fucking with me today. very windy, some rain, miserable. i took mom to her doctor's appointment. after that we drove to her bank to get some money out of the ATM. and them we drove past the old farm on the way home. for some reason, we didn't get any mail today. my guess is the mailbox will be completely fucking full tomorrow. tomorrow will be laundry day for me as it is supposed to snow.
