Homeland was excellent last night.

Black Monday was good last night. the show will come back probably when this pandemic is over.

Atlanta's Missing and Murdered: The Lost Children had no audio for the first 45 minutes of the show. so, there was way more reading than i thought i was going to have to do with the closed caption. eventually, the audio came back for the last 15 minutes or so.

yesterday went pretty well. my sister was here way longer than i thought she was going to be. she made these carrot cake cupcakes that were amazing. she got back home before the storms hit where she lives last night.

i can tell mom is getting a little stir crazy these days. i'm hoping the weather gets a bit better and i can take her on a drive just to get out of the house.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

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

not the news i wanted to hear...

i was hit with a right hook of depression last night when it was announced that John Prine was in critical condition in the hospital battling COVID-19. it brought back a flood of memories. i remember when Mary Beth, this beautiful woman i worked with at the airport, told me to listen to John Prine. a funny side note, Mary Beth told me one night if she wasn't married, she would definitely go out with me. i told her you shouldn't have told me that. she asked me why? i said because now i'm the asshole rooting for your divorce. she never did get that divorce. that was over 20 years ago now. thankfully, by this afternoon, John Prine was in stable condition. he's beaten cancer twice, so i'm not counting him out just yet. here's my favorite song of his, although i probably have a hundred or so more i could have mentioned...

i went to the grocery store today to pick up my medicine and get some shit we needed. the store was better stocked than the last time i was there. of course, they still didn't have much toilet paper or tissues, etc. and of course, you could imagine what i was looking for... i still managed to spend over $70 there.

VICE was excellent last night. i'm so happy the show is back on television, now on Showtime.

Homeland was really good last night.

Black Monday was pretty funny last night.

Westworld was fucking great last night.

where caution meets panic and the lines are blurred...

i wrote 6 poems today. i was expecting to write them from the waiting room where my mother was getting her injection for her back. instead, the waiting room was only for the patients, everyone else had to wait in their vehicles. i know this is all out of an abundance of caution, but holy shit common sense doesn't fucking exist anymore. so, i did write 6 poems in the Highlander. i typed them up this afternoon. i think they are pretty good. of course, time will tell.

i'm really hoping the shot works for my mother. she doesn't get another one until June.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

The Voice was good last night. the battle rounds have finally started.

The Plot Against America was excellent last night.

my sanity is going to be tested in the next 2 weeks...

the governor in Ohio announced that starting tonight, we citizens are basically to stay the fuck inside unless we have to go out. i believe you can still go to the grocery store or to get food at a drive thru or pick up an order, but other than that, you're going to be arrested if caught. so, with that in mind, i figured i would go to Kroger today and get some shit done.

i was sort of shocked but shouldn't have been that Kroger is no longer taking returns. didn't matter that the stuff was never opened and bought 2 months ago. so, since mom forgot to tell me to return the shit, i'm going to have to eat that loss. joy. i did get gas and some groceries today. i wanted to make sure we had a full tank for when i take mom to get her injection tomorrow. they called yesterday to confirm the appointment. i was waiting for them to cancel it.

Batwoman was really good last night.

Westworld was great last night.

the season finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm was excellent last night.

i did have to go out today and get some shit. i needed some Sudafed and of course the pharmacy at Kroger was all out of the strong shit. figures. i got most of everything mom had on the grocery list. and i kept it under $100.

i did send out 11 poems today; 6 to Record Magazine and 5 to Synchronized Chaos. when i hear back from those places i will pass along the verdicts.

i guess i should say thank you to Tom Brady for breaking the internet this morning.

so my day started off with...

a phone call from my doctor's office. they wanted to change my appointment today until June. fuck me. so, i had to run out and get some cough medicine and some more NyQuil. i figure, between all that and some Jack Daniels, i should feel better in a few days. i drank some milk today. that's my test to see how sick i am. when i am really sick, milk tastes like shit. it tasted like milk today, so i don't think i'm that far away from knocking this out.
