so, Christmas went pretty good yesterday. i think mom really liked what i got her. we had some really good food yesterday as well. now here is where the dysfunction kicked in. i took her blood pressure last night and for the first time in eons, it was where it was supposed to be. her first thought was that she was dying. that stunned me and i am a pessimist most of the time. for her to react to good news like that on Christmas was baffling to me. but, this does explain why anytime i get good news i'm always looking for when the other shoe to drop instead of enjoying it.
the New York Knicks lost yesterday at home to Philadelphia, 119-112.
here are your NBA highlights from Christmas Day:
i did watch some of all 3 football games yesterday:
George & Tammy was excellent last night.
the season finale of Ziwe was fucking hilarious last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw.
the World Juniors start today. the USA will play Latvia this afternoon.
i might have to go to Kroger later today to get a prescription for my mother. if that happens, i might go to the bank and deposit the check i got for Christmas yesterday.
i should be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays in the afternoon.
i hope everyone had a great Christmas.

so, i wanted to get out into the world this morning, but my bad back said nope. so, after a nice long icing and nap, i did manage to get out and do some shopping today. i went to Rite Aid to pick up some prescriptions. 2 of the 3 were ready. they wanted me to wait for the 3rd one. i told them i'll come back tomorrow for it. i had already spent nearly a half hour waiting in line already. i then went to Menards to try to find some things. i did find just about everything i was looking for. and i kept it under $40. i needed to get some gas. i did that at Speedway. and then i had to go to Kroger. mom had pills ready and i needed to get something for lunch as it was approaching 5 PM. and people wonder why i eat a big breakfast everyday. all in all, it was a pretty productive day for me.
i did write 3 poems yesterday. i was pretty pleased with them when i typed them up. i know where i am sending those. i need to write some more, which i will be hopefully doing soon.
the New York Rangers won last night in Chicago, 7-1. they are absolutely rolling right now.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
so, i woke up this morning and saw that the snow started sticking last night. i knew it must have been as some fucker did some donuts in the cul-de-sac last night. i put on some coffee and got ready to watch the World Cup final. when Argentina got up 2-0, i thought for sure they were going to win the game in regulation. silly me. France scored twice in the second half (90 seconds apart) to tie the game at 2. the game went to extra time. Messi scored his second for Argentina to put them in the lead. Kylian Mbappe scored his 3rd for France to eventually send the game to penalty kicks. Argentina won the penalty kicks 4-2. this was by far the most entertaining World Cup final i think i have ever watched. and honestly, it ends the debate of who is the greatest of all time. Messi winning the World Cup trumps everything.
now let's rewind back to yesterday. i did manage to get mom's Christmas gifts wrapped. i did watch a bit of all 3 NFL games yesterday. quite the choke job from the Colts. and it was great to see the snow game last night between Buffalo and Miami.
the Dayton Flyers finally won a game outside of the UD Arena yesterday. they defeated Wyoming in Chicago, 66-49.
the New York Rangers won last night in Philadelphia, 6-3. they play tonight in Chicago.

so, i did watch some of the New Orleans Saints game today at home against Atlanta. thankfully, the Saints did just enough to win, 21-18.
i need to do some poetry work tonight, before the Rangers game against Chicago.
i'm also planning on maybe a few surprises on Christmas, so i have a week to get all those details ironed out.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday is even better.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
so, today has been a bunch of hurry up and wait. i made it to the post office this morning. it can get pretty busy in the mornings, especially around the holidays. at least they had both registers going. that made it a bit faster. but, all the Christmas cards are now out there. if you are a lucky one, you should have some mail in the next few days. after that, i went to Rite Aid to get my prescription. thankfully, there was no line there. now, for mom's dental appointment, that was an adventure. we had to go to this office building we had never been to before. thankfully, i usually insist on being early to everything. we got there with a good 15 minutes to spare. we found the office and mom had paperwork to fill out. she didn't do it online as she has been sick for so long. so, she got that filled out and then we waited. they called her back 30 minutes after her appointment time to take her x-ray and meet with the dentist. i wish i would have thought to bring pen and paper with me. i sat out in the waiting room hoping the Yankees were going to announce a signing today. still waiting on that one. mom got finished and i drove her home as i still had to eat lunch. nothing like a late lunch around 5. joy.
the New York Knicks won yesterday at home against Sacramento, 112-99.
here are your NBA highlights from yesterday:
the season finale of The White Lotus was amazing last night.

i should be on here tomorrow after Argentina takes on Croatia in the World Cup semifinals.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.
i'm still waiting on one package to show up to have all of mom's Christmas gifts here. Amazon keeps telling me it will be here before Christmas. considering i ordered it in November and it still hasn't shipped yet isn't giving me much confidence.
that's all for me kids.

i got the Christmas trees up last night. as usual, i was trying to watch wrestling and mom wanted me to help her clean and get all the holiday shit out. i started laughing, wondered what happened to we're just going to do a little bit this year. then she broke one of the frames i had an autographed picture in. and right there is the dysfunction of my youth i remember why i have hated all these fucking holidays. joy.
i got up this morning and swept the leaves (at least most of them) out of the garage. i also fixed the lightbulb on the garage door opener. that had been out for months, but with the Highlander now fixed, i could move it out of the garage and switch out lightbulbs.
NXT Deadline last night was excellent.
Saturday Night Live was hilarious last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be the season finale of The White Lotus, the season finale of Let The Right One In, George & Tammy and Ziwe.
since the New Orleans Saints are on their bye week, i don't really have any NFL game this Sunday that is must watch for me. i'm sure i'll watch some of the games while finishing up my Christmas cards.
the New York Knicks play tonight at home against Sacramento.

so, here was my day at Rite Aid today. i got a text saying my prescription was ready. i put air in the left front tire and went to Rite Aid. the line wasn't too bad and i got the prescription for no charge. i got back in the Highlander and realized, it wasn't the pills i was expecting. i was expecting the pills i ran out of yesterday. so, i went back into the store. the line was now twice as long, but both registers were being operated. i got back up to the counter and was told the pills i needed would be ready in about 10 minutes. not sure why i couldn't be told that 15 minutes earlier when i was in line the first time. oh well. i finally got the pills i ran out of yesterday and left the store. i pride myself at being as patient as i can be. and honestly, if i wasn't, i would be in jail for murder. i just don't have the time for incompetence. it drives me fucking insane.
at the World Cup Today, Croatia beat Japan on penalty kicks, 1-1 (3-1). Brazil put on a show and defeated South Korea, 4-1. Brazil vs. Croatia should be a fascinating game. tomorrow at the World Cup, Morocco plays Spain and Portugal takes on Switzerland.
the New York Knicks won last night at home against Cleveland, 92-81.
here are your NBA highlights from yesterday:
The White Lotus was hilarious last night. i can't wait for the season finale next week.

i did listen to episode 424 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can hear that by going here:
as i was taking a shower last night at 3:30 AM after shaving, i was trying to come up with something resembling a poem. and the more i tried, the more i realized i had nothing. this might be my first case of writer's block in years. i guess one of these nights it will be time for a little jack daniels and a trip down memory lane to rattle the cages once again.
today has been a busy one for me. i might have got almost 3 hours of sleep last night. i woke up this morning and made some coffee. after checking my emails, i started on breakfast. i told mom i was doing biscuits and gravy as i know she can only have so much of it to fit into her sodium restrictions. and i remembered how she told me about the cold biscuits and gravy she got at the nursing home. she told me after her first bite how much better this was than there. she just got delivered her food for her recovery. it was supposed to come yesterday. i'm happy that it did arrive. even happier i was able to fit the shit in the freezer. now, after i get this done, i need to vacuum the house, make dinner (pork chops, glazed apples and mashed potatoes) and then help mom pay her bills, on time this time.
the New York Rangers played like shit last night and lost at home to Chicago, 5-2. i'm not sure why they fucking suck at home this season.
Saturday Night Live was fucking hilarious last night.
i wasn't surprised when Ohio State made the college football playoffs. i figured once USC lost to Utah, the Buckeyes were going to get the #4 seed. they will take on Georgia in the playoffs.
today at the World Cup, France defeated Poland, 3-1. England beat Senegal, 3-0. France vs. England should be a classic when they face each other in the quarterfinals.

so, i had to take my mother to her heart doctor today. she left them a message this morning. she called me out to the kitchen while i was eating my breakfast and asked me when i could take her to the doctor. i chose the latest time they offered as i knew this was going to become a production. and i was right. thankfully, we made it there under the 15 minute late grace period they have. mom got her heart medicine figured out. so, i am hoping she won't feel like she is passing out when she takes it now.
yesterday at the World Cup, Spain and Germany finished 1-1. today, Cameroon and Serbia finished 3-3, Ghana defeated South Korea 3-2, Brazil defeated Switzerland 1-0 thanks to a goal from Casemiro and Portugal defeated Uruguay 2-0 thanks to 2 goals from Bruno Fernandes. tomorrow starts the final stages of group play. Ecuador will play Senegal and Netherlands will face Qatar in Group A. in Group B, Wales takes on England and Iran faces USA. the USA MUST win to advance to the knockout rounds.
the New Orleans Saints lost yesterday at the 49ers, 13-0. it was the first time the Saints have been shutout in over 20 years.
the New York Knicks lost yesterday at home to Memphis, 127-123.

i think Area Agency on Aging is coming out here tomorrow. mom tried to get a hold of them for years but i guess the one good thing to come out of her brief stay at the nursing home is this. hopefully she will get some answers to the questions she has.
i should be on here tomorrow after the USA vs. Iran game is over. i am really hoping i will be in a good mood. i haven't seen one of my sports teams win in forever it feels like.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
so, when i woke up this morning, i was feeling like i hadn't slept at all. that's always fun. my bad back has been killing me for weeks now. no matter how much i stretch or ice or just rest, it doesn't get much better. i am losing weight, but i think that is by attrition. after breakfast today, i could feel my body just shutting down. so, i got back into bed and tried my best to sleep. the siren in my left ear is still going non-stop, so sleeping isn't fucking easy at all anymore. i did stay in bed until the second half of the USMNT game today. after watching that, i probably should have just stayed in bed. more on that in a bit.
the New Orleans Saints won yesterday over the Rams, 27-20.
the New York Knicks lost yesterday at Phoenix, 116-95. they play tonight at the Thunder.
here are your NBA highlights from yesterday:
i did catch most of the games today and yesterday in the World Cup. i am pretty disappointed the USMNT tied Wales today, 1-1. while it is better than a loss, they could have won today. that will make getting out of the group even harder, especially since England destroyed Iran today, 6-2. Ecuador beat Qatar 2-0 yesterday and Netherlands defeated Senegal today, 2-0.

so, around the halftime of the Ohio State game yesterday, i took the second COVID test. i made sure i did it exactly correct this time so i would get a result. and of course, that result was positive. i really thought i was over this shit. of course not. mom tested positive again this morning. she did get moved to a nursing home/physical therapy place not too far from here yesterday. she sounds like she is doing better. hopefully, she will be home soon.
so, i ended up doing a load of laundry last night around 11:30. nothing like laying in bed watching a hockey game and what you thought was going to be a fart ends up being something else completely. so, after a trip to the bathroom, the shower and a couple Imodium pills, i figured i might as well do a load of laundry. and to top everything off of yesterday, i have had a siren noise in my left ear since i woke up yesterday. i decided to Google if Meniere's Disease is hereditary. of course, there is no proof that it is, but there are cases where it has been passed on from adult to child. and having watched my mother struggle with this for years, i cried myself to sleep last night knowing what is coming my way. and yes, i know that is a radical jump to a conclusion, but considering that noise is still in my left ear today, i can only imagine what pain i have coming.
the Dayton Flyers won yesterday against Robert Morris, 60-51. they will next play Wisconsin in the Bahamas the day before Thanksgiving.
Ohio State defeated Maryland yesterday, 43-30. that sets up the showdown next week at home against the school up north.
