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.

so, i knew i wanted to get some damn stuff done today. this blog was supposed to be done long before now, but that fucking thing called life always gets in the way. but, i did manage to get to the bank, get to Rite Aid and get some groceries this morning. i was actually feeling good for a change. i took a COVID test a bit ago, and the results were... inconclusive. so, i guess i will take another one a little later today. mom is supposed to get discharged today. i think i know what nursing home she is going to, but i'll have more details later today. i'm hoping the case manager will be calling at some point today.
i have the Dayton Flyers game on in the background. they are playing Robert Morris today. they should win.
Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both pretty good last night.
AEW Rampage was very good last night.
i had to watch Young Rock this morning as for some fucking reason our local NBC had no picture last night, just audio. it was a pretty good episode.

so much has been going on here recently that i nearly fucking forgot that the World Cup starts this weekend. not that i don't have a million other fucking things on my mind or anything. my mother is out of her fog and things seem to be getting under control. now, it is just a matter of getting her damn blood pressure back to something close to normal and managing her anxiety. i told her today whatever she decided she was comfortable with i would be fine with in regards of going to a nursing home for a bit. i haven't had to take any medicine today, so i am pretty happy about that. i will hopefully feel even better tomorrow and i can get out and actually get a COVID test and hopefully test negative.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
so, today has been one of those days that no matter how positive i try to keep my mind, i am fighting a losing battle. right as i think i am nearly symptom free, i'll start coughing. i know i am trending in the right direction, but the pace of it is frustrating the shit out of me. and then i got the news today that they want to send my mother to a nursing home for her rehab. and they have to find one that accepts patients with COVID. so now i am in the impossible situation of do i let them put her into a home for hopefully, only a few weeks. or, do i demand that she comes home and possibly dies in a few weeks. the last thing i want is for her to die at the same age my father died at. second, she has more life left in her. she does seem to be more out of the fog that she was in. so, i'm hoping the infection has cleared up and she will be beating COVID soon. i am hoping that i will be symptom free by the weekend. then, i will go get a test done to hopefully test negative and then do a little grocery shopping.

i was so angry last night that i decided to fuck it with the NyQuil and just go to sleep. now, i didn't get good sleep of course. but, i didn't have any major coughing fits either. so, i think that is a step in the right direction. i wish i could say the same for my mother. while she is getting out of the fog she was in, i'm afraid her physical health isn't any better.
the Dayton Flyers pissed away a 10 point halftime lead last night and lost at UNLV, 60-52. Dayton had way too many fucking turnovers last night and yet another injury scare.

we've got some rain and snow on the way. my back is going to feel like shit.
i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i don't think mom is going to get discharged tomorrow, or at least, i hope she isn't. i am really hoping they figure out what is going on and have a damn plan on what to do about it.
and of course, i didn't get to my laundry today. i feel pretty good, so i might do that tonight.
my cough is really much better than it was. and i haven't had a runny nose today, so that's a plus.

so, i woke up this morning in pain, but i figured that would be the case. anytime the winter weather begins, my back decides it wants a fucking vacation. add on top of that the likelihood that i have COVID, and you can just imagine where my mind was drifting off to today. i guess mom is doing a little better but it is looking more likely, as of right now, that she will need home healthcare. it still looks like she will get discharged on Thursday.
i was hoping to do my laundry today, but i knew that wasn't going to happen with my back feeling like this.
The Voice was pretty good last night. i have no damn clue who is going to get eliminated tonight.
Monday Night Raw was good last night.
The Vow was pretty disturbing last night. the season finale is next week.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:
i know probably after the game i will get the trash out. hopefully, it won't be snowing when i do that.
it definitely is going to feel weird not going grocery shopping tomorrow. i'm hoping i will feel better than i do right now. i have been blessed with some crazy fucking gas in the last few hours. the kind where you sit on the toilet for hours and just listen to your stomach rumble. good times.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
a big thank you to everyone that has checked out my latest published poems:
my poems "little chance", "put our differences aside", "downing spoonsful of shit", "yet" and "open a window and fall back asleep" have been published at Synchronized Chaos. you can read the poems by going here:
so, the decision was made tonight that mom needed to go to the hospital. they believe they know what is going on with her. on top of that good news, she also tested positive for COVID. so, i believe we all know what that means for me.
i was beyond tired last night. i got the dishes done around 3:30 AM. my mother was still in the bathroom, where she had been since basically midnight. by 4 AM, i was dragging and knew i needed some NyQuil and sleep. so, i asked my mother if she needed anything since this was going to be her last chance to ask. she said no. i woke up at 9 AM. i went into her room and all the lights were still on. i went into the bathroom and she had stuffed her diaper and her pants into the toilet. i think i said WHAT THE FUCK loud enough to wake up the neighborhood. i went into the other bathroom to piss. i cleaned out the toilet and sure enough, i then had to shit. and by the time that was done, mom had peed in the bed. so, there was another load of laundry to do. i did eventually get her dressed and out to the living room. i made her breakfast and thought she was actually going to be ok. silly me. she spilled coffee on the floor. she somehow got cream cheese on her phone, pills and her hair. she asked for a diet coke and promised to use both hands. she spilled that all over the floor. and then the best part was when she was accused me of kidnapping, not allowing her to talk to people, etc. etc. all because she didn't realize her phone was upside down. i showed her how to open it and dial, etc. and then she accused me of not showing her what i just showed her. that was my 9 AM to 3 PM life today. i got some dry socks on her and some dry pants and i think she is actually sleeping now. i was able to go to Rite Aid and get my prescription and all the other shit i needed. thankfully, that only took 30 minutes today.
the USWNT won yesterday against Germany, 2-1. that ended their 3 game losing streak.
the New York Rangers won last night over Arizona, 4-1.

i'll keep everyone updated on what is going on. i need to find mom's paperwork so i can get her back on her meds. so, that great hunt will begin when she wakes up as i don't want to wake her as i'm going through files and then get accused of something. she already threatened me once today.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.

yesterday was one of the more frustrating days of my life and that has boiled over to today. and this has nothing to do with sports, even though i would have a good argument to make... mom is in self-sabotage mode and it is really pissing me off. i'm pretty sure she didn't take any of her medicine yesterday and i know for a fact she hasn't taken any of it today. i asked her plainly if this was the way she wants to die? she said no. she had one bite of a grilled cheese sandwich i made her last night. other than that, all she had was the french toast and bacon we had for breakfast. and she has had nothing to eat today. and she wonders why she feels weird, has pissed her pants 5 different times today and doesn't understand what is going on. i told her like she preached to us kids when we were growing up, choices and consequences. so, i'm hoping i can get her to take her damn meds and actually eat something when she wakes up. i told her, when her insurance company comes to do the Medicare checkup and she is out of it mentally, don't blame me when you get taken away somewhere. and to top everything else off, the fucking Highlander has a flat tire. joy.

so, i went out to get the paper this morning and just checked the mailbox because the mail hadn't been delivered when i checked yesterday. sure enough, the mailbox was full and there were two small packages near the front door. those had to have been there since last night. i hate that none of these motherfuckers bother to ring the doorbell to let us know there is a package there. the packages were a nice little gift from Tito's vodka and the baseball cards i ordered from Repacked Wax.
my big plan to have the blog done before Manchester United played this morning went to shit when i didn't wake up until 10 this morning. i did get close to 6 hours of sleep, which considering i was helping mom in the bathroom at 3 in the morning, was nothing short of a minor miracle. back to the game. Christian Eriksen scored his first goal for Manchester United in the first half. Fulham tied the game in the second half. and then, the boy wonder, Alejandro Garnacho, scored at the death for United to win, 2-1.
the New Orleans Saints lost at the Steelers today, 20-10. thankfully, i didn't watch much of the game.
the New York Knicks lost this afternoon at home to the Thunder, 145-135.
the USWNT is playing Germany right now, hoping to avoid their first ever 4 game losing streak. they are currently losing 1-0 in the 30th minute.
i feel like i am over the worst of my cold, though i do break into some coughing fits now and then. i need to pick up some pills at Rite Aid, so i'm hoping they have some cough drops and some NyQuil.
i need to go see if i can get that tire pumped back up, so that's all for me kids.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get back from Rite Aid.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hope your Sunday will be even better.

to all the veterans out there, thank you for your service.
you could probably assume by the time this blog is going out, i didn't go to the Dayton Flyers game tonight. i think it is just a head cold. hopefully, i will get rid of it by the weekend.
Vice News Tonight had two great shows this week.
the New York Rangers won at Detroit last night, 8-2. they scored 6 goals in the 3rd period. that was their highest output on the road in 30 years. good way to start off the dad's trip.
the USWNT lost to Germany last night, 2-1. that's 3 losses in a row, a first for them team in 30 some years.

i won't many any guarantees when i will be on here tomorrow. i know Ohio State plays at home against Indiana tomorrow at noon. if i wake up and suddenly feel great, i might get the blog done before that. but if i had to guess, don't count on it.
i hope everyone has a great weekend. there's a chance we will get some snow flurries this weekend. just great, an early start to winter.
