tax day...

 i actually got more than 4 hours of sleep last night. i'm guessing i must have found a slot where my pinched nerve didn't bother me. or, the rye whiskey did the trick. 

the New York Rangers won last night at Florida, 5-3. it was the first time all season they had a multi-goal comeback. sure, do it after you are eliminated from playoff contention.

the New York Yankees won last night at home against the Royals, 4-1. 

The Voice was excellent last night.

Monday Night Raw was great last night. WrestleMania is this weekend.

i hate losing more than i love winning...

 i am a very competitive person. and now that sports gambling is legal, i can put my money where my mouth is. now, i don't have fuck you money to gamble with, but i also stay true to the golden rule... only gamble what you are willing to lose. i did get the national title game last night between Florida and Houston right. i won two different groups on ESPN.com with that bracket. i went 47-16 in the tournament. that is my best record in years. apparently, putting money on it makes me a little more intense on getting shit right. that might be the only thing i worry about with my sports gambling. i am a perfectionist at heart. 

the Yankees lost yesterday at Detroit, 6-2. i did watch some of the game, especially when they were playing in the snow. they play again this afternoon.

the New York Rangers lost last night at home to Tampa Bay, 5-1. 

The Voice was very good last night.

good news and a wasted afternoon...

 so, i went to the bank to make a deposit before my doctor's appointment. i got to the doctor's office a little early and amazingly, they got me into my appointment early. my A1C went from 8.4 to 6.0, everyone is thrilled about that. i explained that there will be a little gap in the Rybelsus since Anthem wanted me to pay over $2,600 for it. i did get my Medicaid card today. of course, the mail didn't come before my appointment. so, i'll have to make another trip out tomorrow while grocery shopping. so, i got back home and wanted to cancel my Anthem insurance. the last 2 hours have been spent trying to do that. from what i gather, the fuck up is the plan used to be on the Marketplace but no longer is so the Marketplace can't cancel something they don't have yet Anthem is telling me that is the only way the policy can be cancelled. as i told my mother, this is why death is so popular anymore. i told mom to try to cancel the payment she made last night and maybe then they'll understand to cancel the fucking policy.

i didn't get to watch any of the Manchester United game today. they lost at Nottingham Forest, 1-0.

Monday Night Raw was very good yesterday.

The Voice was excellent last night.

the New York Rangers signed Gabe Perreault last night. that made me very happy.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

the Yankees play tonight at home against Arizona.

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

oh yeah, since it is April and April is National Poetry Month, i guess i need to do a little bit on that.

enjoy...

i will probably do two videos a day on poets i like. and in this case, i figured i would start with myself as i have had the kind of day that i know my 8 year old self is laughing about and shaking his head, knowing that death was always the right answer.

hello anger, i remember you...

 so, i just got off the phone with someone at Humana. my Medicaid cards didn't show up again today. the lady told me they were mailed out on the 24th. i said when i called last week, i was told they were mailed out on the 21st. she tells me they were requested on the 21st, but mailed out on the 24th. give it a little more time. i wanted to fucking scream. so yeah, i have an appointment later today to get my blood work done. i won't be fasting like the doctor wanted. they'll get over it. i have to check in online for my doctor's appointment tomorrow. i was hoping to have my new insurance for that. and i have pills i need to pick up. fuck me.

the Yankees won yesterday, 12-3, to sweep the Brewers. they are off today and start a series tomorrow at home against Arizona.

my luck ran out yesterday on college basketball. i only got 2 of the Final Four right.

The Americas was good last night, at least what i got to see. we had storms most of the night and tornado watches and warnings.

well, hurry up and wait...

 i have a doctor's appointment on April 1st. i need to get bloodwork done. i am patiently waiting, i mean as fucking patiently as i possibly fucking can, for my Medicaid cards to show up so i can make the fucking changes to all the shit i have going on. i need to cancel Anthem, but i'm not doing that until the cards show up. and what really pisses me off, if i have been in the system since the 1st, why don't i have any cards 24 fucking days later? makes no fucking sense possible. i got a text from Kroger today that my Rybelsus will cost $2.657.56 to fill. basically, i am now in a Leonard Cohen song where it is way more cost effective to die than continue to struggle to live.

speaking of that, mom's doctor's appointment yesterday was interesting, she is a bit of a chatty person, always her nature. so, she admitted to having thoughts of suicide, etc. one, that pissed me off as it clearly is a reflection on the job i am doing as caretaker. second, of course they want her to think about taking some more pills to perhaps lighten her mood. third, why the fuck are these appointments two fucking hours long. 

we went to Arby's after the appointment and got home in time to watch Monday Night Raw. it was a really good show, once again.

The Voice was very good last night.

i think Monday Night Raw is on Netflix this afternoon. i am going to try to watch that when i get home from taking mom to her doctor's appointment.

i talked to my insurance agent this morning. i finally got the letter he was telling me to call him about back in January. i guess on March 1st, Medicaid approved my application. he sent the application in December of last year. he was happy that they accepted me as it should drive the prices down for me. i had one question though. if i got approved on March 1st and didn't know about it until March 22nd, what 3 to 4 day period am i to believe that my Medicaid card will be sent to me? he believes i should already have it, as do i. he did give the number to cancel my other insurance with. thankfully, that hasn't been paid yet for next month.

i'm not going to cancel the insurance until the cards come, that's for sure.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

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

until then...

i was driving home from the bank today and a poem came to me. it never fucking fails, the good ones always come when i don't have a chance to write them down. thankfully, i basically repeated it to myself and wrote it out by the time i got home. 

Monday Night Raw was excellent yesterday.

the weather took a turn to the cold last night. that might be why i slept a little better. i woke up this morning and mom was in her massage chair sleeping. by the time i got done with breakfast, she was back in her bed. i think the health problems she has been having here recently have really gotten to her. the projectile vomiting yesterday had some end of life shit attached to it. good times.

the First Four games start tomorrow at UD Arena. if i had those tickets still, i would make a killing selling them with North Carolina, Xavier and Texas coming.

 so, i had to go to the bank today and to Kroger to get my pills. the bank took forever. i think they had one woman working the inside and drive-thru. so, by the time i left there and got to Kroger, the pharmacy was on their lunch break. so, i decided i might as well try to remember what was on the grocery list and get it done while they were on break. i got everything i could remember (it was all but 2 items that i forgot) and then got it line at the pharmacy. checkout for the groceries was very interesting. the register wasn't taking off the right amounts on certain things. i will give the lady running it credit, she was on it. thankfully, what i got cost less than $100, and that includes my pills.
