Happy St. Patrick's Day...
a delightful trip into the dark mind of an evil genius or simply the musings of an asshole

Happy St. Patrick's Day...

nothing like aching in the heat...
my back pain is pretty constant anymore and the only thing that helps is ice. so, this heatwave isn't exactly a good thing, at least for me. i know plenty of people that love this shit. i'm not one of them. and given how the humidity messes with my mother's Meniere's Disease, it gives me a whole new set of worries. joy.
the Yankees won last night against the Mets, 3-1. they are off tonight and start a series tomorrow at Baltimore. i think The Captain might actually be back for that.

i believe i was in the ice cream aisle...
when i got the alert (maybe 30 of them total) that Sinead O'Connor was dead. a flood of memories hit me. i remember when i first saw her video for Nothing Compares 2 U and immediately thought of my girlfriend at the time, whom i am still friends with to this day. growing up an artsy kid who kind of hid that part of his life at times because of the love of sports, etc., Sinead's music always had a place in my soul. this news today really hit me much harder than i thought it would. may you finally be at peace.

it rained all damn night... Happy St. Patrick's Day
i slept like shit last night. long gone are the days of the rain actually helping me to sleep. fuck. oh well, i hope everyone had a great St. Patrick's Day...
the New York Rangers won last night at home against Pittsburgh, 4-2.

and the hours all blend into one long story...
so, i woke up this morning to yet another fucking telemarketer calling. nothing quite like 4 hours of sleep when you know you have shit to do. joy.
so, after breakfast this morning, i had to go to the post office to return a package that mom never ordered. after that, i had to go to her accountant and drop off the taxes. side note, they called this afternoon to tell mom they are done. after the accountant, i went to the bank. i made that deposit and then went back home. got in a good 20 minute nap and then helped mom get ready to go to her doctor's appointment. that appointment lasted forever. the good old Medicare checkup appointment. but, at least mom got to talk about everything she wanted to.
we had a really good lunch today, so dinner tonight is going to be light.
the Yankees lost yesterday to Baltimore, 3-1. Judge had 3 strikeouts yesterday, so i'm hoping he has a big series in Texas so the triple crown will be a possibility. they start a 4 game series tonight at the Texas Rangers.

running on fumes...
i got to bed around 5 AM this morning. i was up and out of bed at 9 AM. my mother pretty much fell asleep at the same time i did. she got out of bed today at 4 PM. i would have to slip into a coma to ever sleep that long.
i went to the bank today. for some fucking reason, the bank i normally go to was closed. so, i had to drive a town over to go to that bank. that took way longer than it should have. after that, i drove back to Trotwood to go to Big Lots. i had a coupon to use. of course, they didn't have any baseball, football or basketball cards. i found the Jim Beam coffee i like. i also got a new mat for our front door. a couple of toys (Batman, Star Wars) and a better storage box for the cards. i was hoping it would come up to $40 so i could use the coupon i had. it was $33. fuck.
night 2 of WrestleMania was good last night. not as good as night 1, but i think it was better than what i was expecting. i'm hoping that Monday Night Raw tonight is fucking crazy.

the kind of day i'd like to drink myself to death...
now, i'll get to the good news after i climb down from the cross.
so, i made it to the doctor's office on time. my blood pressure was good. my weight was down. and for some fucking reason, my A1C was up. again. they believe it could be stress related. i can't imagine what fucking stress i have in my life. so, now i get to start trulicity. joy. well, i guess i should have known if i was going to live to 46, i would be injecting myself with something by now. of course, i didn't get to see the person i was supposed to see today. so, i didn't get to talk about my arthritis that is getting worse or the pinched nerve in my neck. as i told my mother, i have rode the waves of pain for so fucking long now, i might as well be a damn professional. so, on the way home from the doctor's office, i nearly got hit twice by drivers not paying fucking attention. i swear, one of these days, i'm just going to swerve right into the fuckers and see what happens next. i stopped at Big Lots on the way home. i got some basketball and football cards. $50 worth of packs. there was close to $100 worth of cards in them. that works for me.
the Dayton Flyers won last night in Toledo, 74-55. that was their first win in the NIT since 2010. they will play Vanderbilt in Nashville on Sunday afternoon in the next round.

hard to believe
so, the last time the Cincinnati Bengals went to the Super Bowl, i was 13 years old. to see them come back from being down 21-3 and defeat the Chiefs in OT, 27-24, was fucking surreal. they will play the LA Rams, who defeated the 49ers yesterday, 20-17.

not enough time...
my mother used to call it being busier than 9 cats covering up shit in a windstorm. it happens every fucking Wednesday. i have way too much to do, not enough time to even think of doing it all, doing it anyway, fucking up my back, not getting any sleep and taking years (hopefully) off of my life.
the grocery stores today were crazy. for some fucking reason, Kroger is changing their store around yet again. eventually, i'll get sick of this shit and shop somewhere else. i nearly got everything on the damn scroll. i didn't find any Crystal Light at Kroger. so, the usual Thursday get what you forgot day of shopping will commence once again. i'll probably go to Meijer.
i did get some baseball cards today and some basketball cards. the basketball cards were $7 for a pack. a bit steep but they are Prizm cards, so each card is worth around $2 or more. so, $7 for 15 cards isn't too bad. the baseball cards were a Fairfield box. i found a 1990 Fleer Larry Walker rookie card in it, so i'm pretty fucking happy with that. all in all, i spent $12 and there was around $60 worth of cards. sounds good to me.
The Voice was good last night.
