the New York Yankees lost yesterday at home to Atlanta, 3-1. they are off tonight and start a series tomorrow night at the Mets.

the USMNT defeated Bolivia 2-0 yesterday in the Copa America. they should have scored 4 or 5 against them.

today has been a day...

 last night was the first night in 3 weeks that i was able to sleep more than 3 hours in my own bed. that surprised me. a bigger surprise was my doctor's appointment. my A1C was actually lower. and that comes after not having any Trulicity for the last month. they have taken me off of Trulicity and have put me on Rybelsus. that is, once the insurance company gives it the ok. my blood pressure was excellent and she put me on some muscle relaxers for my pinched nerve. i am always a big fan of better living through chemistry. i'll start the muscle relaxers tonight and the ibuprofen in the morning.

the Yankees had their asses handed to them yesterday, losing at home to Baltimore, 17-5. they start a series tonight at home against Atlanta.

i got to see a little of the Euro 2024 today.

i did watch the start of the Copa America last night. Argentina beat Canada, 2-0. tonight, Chile takes on Peru.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

oh, hello frustration, there you are...

 being a Type 2 diabetic is already frustrating enough. and then i started using the drug Trulicity, and i lost a little weight, my numbers started getting better, etc. so, of course, once the rich found out that these drugs actually worked on losing weight, they started hoarding them. now, the manufacturer has no Trulicity. i haven't had it for almost a month now. i know any progress i made on my A1C is lost now. Friday will be the actual acknowledgement of that. i can't wait to see what drug they are going to try to put me on next. mom told me not to worry about the cost. i laughed as i know all the money spent now will be money that won't be there when she dies and i'll need it. as i joked with her yesterday at her doctor's appointment when she asked what i wanted to do with all this and my immediate response was die. i told her if you actually look at all this logically, my death clears most of this shit up. and no one would have to worry about my A1C if i'm dead. she told me to stop it, but i could see in her eyes, she knew i was right. so yeah, should be a really fucking fun summer. and don't worry, i definitely have no plans to die before my new book with C. Renee Kiser comes out. after that though...

here are your highlights from Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final. i believe Florida is starting to panic and Edmonton can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Game 6 is Friday night.

the Yankees won last night at home over Baltimore, 4-2. hopefully, they will win again tonight.

Deadliest Catch was good last night.

NXT was very good last night:

Happy Juneteenth to everyone by the way.

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite and NJPW.

i tried to do the grocery shopping a little earlier today. i had everything done by 2 this afternoon. it was hot as shit outside, but i think i missed a good portion of the heat. 

i should be on here tomorrow in the morning, before mom has her physical therapy in the afternoon.

i did watch a little of the Euro 2024 action today.

i'm not sure what i'm making for dinner tonight.

when pro wrestling is done right...

 i have been watching pro wrestling for roughly 46 of my 48 years on this planet. i can be very cynical with the product at times, but when something blows my mind, it charges all of my senses. last night was one of those nights. i was absolutely devastated when Bray Wyatt died. his brother talked about doing something that would be a tribute to his legacy. if the debut last night of the Wyatt Sicks was the start of that, they are off to a magnificent beginning. i had tears in my eyes seeing the characters come to life and what this could become as a real life horror movie right before our eyes. this was easily the best Monday Night Raw in quite some time. and i absolutely can't wait to see what comes next.

here are your highlights from Game 5 of the NBA Finals last night. congrats to Boston on winning the championship. that was a good future bet by me.

Name That Tune was very good last night.

i did watch some of the Euro 2024 today. Portugal got a late goal to win a crazy game.

mom's doctor's appointment went well today. her A1C is doing great. i see the doctor on Friday.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT and Deadliest Catch.

Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final is tonight.

the Yankees play at home against the Orioles tonight. if the Yankees want to stay in first place, they need to win this series.

i need to get the trash picked up and out sometime tonight. they are supposed to come early to get it because of the heat. it got into the low 90's today.

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

i need to go get dinner started.

this is a day that has me torn...

 as most of you know, i had a horrible relationship with my father. So, father's day hasn't really meant anything to me since my stepfather, the first male to ever treat me with any fucking respect, died. but, today also happens to be my mother's birthday. i was hoping that thought would be the prevalent one today. but, as usual with this fucking family, mom is depressed and woe is me ever since last night. so, the breakfast i wanted to make her she doesn't want. yeah, going to be one of those days i guess. the joy of being a poet. ultimately, it is all fucking content. 

that being said, i do hope she likes the gifts i got her.

WWE Clash at the Castle yesterday was excellent.

AEW Collision was good last night.

here are your highlights from Game 4 of the Stanley Cup final:

the New York Yankees lost last night at Boston, 8-4. hopefully, they will win the series tonight.

i didn't get to see much of the Euro 2024 action yesterday. i should be able to watch some of it today.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Last Week Tonight, The Chi and Power Book 2: Ghost.

i'm sure i will watch some sports today and hopefully, get some more sleep.

i should be on here tomorrow before i take mom to her physical therapy appointment.

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

 so, i am going to try to fly through this as i am running behind this morning. of course, nearly 4 hours of sleep can do that to you sometimes.

mom and i did go out to lunch yesterday after her physical therapy. she wanted to go to this new Mexican restaurant in town. amazingly, it was really good. the closest thing i have had to "real" Mexican food in years. i can definitely see this place becoming one of my favorites.

after that, i typed up the two poems i wrote when we got back home. i did watch some of the Euro 2024 yesterday. Germany destroyed Scotland, 5-1.

the New York Yankees won last night at Boston, 8-1. hopefully, they will win again tonight.

at least there was some rain...

 yesterday was a challenge in managing my frustration. as usual, i mostly failed. between the Yankees losing, doing my laundry and trying to fold clothes with a pinched nerve, etc. etc. and then of course, it rained last night. joy.

the Yankees lost yesterday at the Royals, 4-3. nothing like almost winning a game you probably shouldn't have and your closer blows it. fuck me. they start a series tonight at Boston.

here are your highlights from Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final last night.

Don't Forget the Lyrics was very good last night. i can't believe the first woman had the right lyrics and could have won $250,000 and had the chance to win a million but chose not to go on. 

the season finale of Welcome to Wrexham was good last night.

enjoy some music:

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

i'm doing the blog now mostly because mom has mentioned that she might want to go out to eat today to celebrate her birthday instead of doing it on Sunday, when her birthday really is. considering, everything that is going on today, there would be no fucking time after that lunch to write the blog.

the Euro 2024 starts today with Germany vs. Scotland. one of the best soccer tournaments to watch.

Game 4 of the NBA Finals is tonight. Boston is up 3-0 on Dallas. 

and because of that, they moved the Yankees vs. Red Sox game up today to accommodate the Boston fans.

i did get some cards last night. this place is running a pretty good deal right now.

https://onedollarsportscards.com/

i have no clue when i will be on here on Saturday. i think we've entered the stage of weather where it will get really warm every afternoon and that will provide the energy for possible thunderstorms at night, etc.

or, the time of year where my arthritis will be killing me slowly.

that's all for me kids.
