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.

until then kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay off the fucking streets.

get the fucking shot.

had a present at the door this morning...

 so, my morning routine is after i take a piss, i take my blood sugar and then i start to open up the house. when i opened up the front door to let the breeze in this morning, there was a headless bird at the door. that brought me a laugh as that was a regular thing out at the farm. it is a little more unexpected when you live in the suburbs. i'm guessing a stray cat had a little snack overnight. i made sure to get it out into the yard, just in case someone comes up to the door.

yesterday was fucking crazy. i did get mom to her appointment on time. i think she was a little surprised when they told her she needed to have an EKG done. thankfully, that came back clean. her heart doctor is really pleased with how mom has recovered from her congestive heart failure.

after that, i got her back home and then i needed to do the grocery shopping. thankfully, the rain basically held off around here. between trips to the grocery stores, i went to the bank and got gas for the Highlander. all in all, i was tired as hell, but i got everything done.

now, i did miss all of the Manchester United game yesterday. it figures, they ended up beating Newcastle, 3-2. 

the Yankees won last night at Minnesota, 4-0. they go for the sweep this afternoon.

welcome to the weekend...

 so, i took a shower around 4:30 AM this morning. i find sometimes my body really likes doing this kind of shit at the weirdest fucking hours. i got to sleep around 6 AM. and of course, i was up around 11. but, i do know why i got some sound sleep.

the New York Rangers won last night at Carolina, 3-2, in OT to go up 3-0 in the series. the Rangers have won their first 7 games of the playoffs, just like they did when they last won the Stanley Cup in 1994. i don't want to get ahead of myself, but the 1994 comparisons are giving me some really good vibes. Game 4 is Saturday night at Carolina.

there has been a constant drizzle today. i was hoping to get some poems out, but the pain was a little too much for me today. so, i put some ice on my spine and actually got a decent nap. now i'm going to try to get this done before the Yankees play this afternoon.

speaking of the Yankees, they defeated Houston last night, 9-4. they will go for the sweep today.

sometimes the pain wins...

 if there wasn't just enough rain in the area to drive my arthritis nuts, i might have actually had a good day. instead, i didn't. now, Kroger did get my Trulicity in, so that nightmare was avoided. of course, when i got back home, Rite Aid had texted me to tell me i had a prescription ready. so, i went back out to there. i got back home and i could hear the squirrels in the attic, in the garage area. i went outside to look and there was one staring down at me. i then walked over to the side of the house where the trap was. the trap was on the ground, nothing in it. so, now i'm wondering did they tear another hole in the roof to get in. i told mom to call Orkin. of course, they haven't shown up yet. damn flying rats.

by the way, i did write 3 more poems last night. hopefully, that will continue tonight as well.

the New York Yankees lost yesterday at Baltimore, 7-2. they start a series tonight at home against Detroit.

 i love when i can open up the house in the morning and let the air flow. now, i know damn well it will be too hot soon enough that i won't be able to do this, so i'm hoping i can enjoy it today. i wrote 4 more poems last night before i went to bed. i am pretty happy that the flow has continued. no noises from the attic this morning and nothing in the trap on the roof. now i have to be sure to be aware of the smell of death... more poems i suppose.

the New York Yankees won last night at Baltimore, 2-0. hopefully, they will win again this afternoon.

 i was all ready to get some sleep last night and mom let out a scream at 4:45 AM. i went into her room and turned on the lights and she was wondering where her flowers were. i asked her why would you have flowers in the bed with you? she then told me she loves me and went back to sleep. i mumbled to myself... and people wonder why the fuck i don't get any sleep. good times.

up too early on a Thursday...

 so, the reason the check engine light was on in the Highlander was due to the same damn reason as three times before. the hose that goes into the air box came loose. as the guy at the dealership told me, that should never happen. so, me made a note in my account and also didn't charge me anything. now, if i could just get that hour back in the waiting room watching fox news. holy shit, no wonder so many people in this country are fucking dumb.

 i tell ya, i swear on most days i think i am fucking cursed. it is a rare day when i think i actually have some good luck. today was my usual type of day. mom has been up for probably over 24 hours now. she didn't sleep at all last night. i told her when i got home from Menards she better sit down and try to sleep before i strap her the fuck in and make her go to sleep. she started whining and said i hate her. i laughed and told her calmly, i'll never hate you more than i hate myself. she wasn't quite sure how to take that one. the check engine light came on as i was going to Menards. it wasn't blinking, so i know that meant it was fine to keep driving. i'm going to get on the dealer's website in the morning and see when i can get an appointment to take the Highlander in. i found everything i was looking for at Menards.

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.
