so, i was up last night watching the Women's World Cup between washing the dishes and texting the spanish princess. was one of the few nights here lately where i wasn't swimming in a sea of pain. i wish i could say the same for today.
i made breakfast this morning and of course, my arthritis had to be raging. and then my bad back decided it wanted some attention while i was making some eggs. it never fails. if i get more than a few hours where i feel pain free i'm going to pay for it and feel like i'm crippled. these are the days where i wish i could get so fucking high that i would get worried about ever coming back down.
the New York Yankees won yesterday at home against the Royals, 5-2. they are currently up in today's game, 4-0. hopefully, they will get the sweep.
Manchester United defeated Arsenal yesterday, 2-0. Arsenal's coach wanted them to do penalty shots after the game, just so his players could get used to being in front of a large crowd doing that. United won that as well, 5-3.
i did catch some of the Leagues Cup last night. i'll watch some of that tonight as well.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be The Righteous Gemstones.
i'm sure i might watch some NASCAR today and hopefully get a nap in.
i know we have so much food left over from yesterday that i don't need to do any cooking for lunch or dinner.
i'm not sure when i will be on here tomorrow.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.
until tomorrow kids...

for some fucking reason last night, i couldn't fall asleep. now, this happens sometimes when i am writing and my brain just gets going and never stops. last night wasn't one of those nights. sometimes the alcohol gets me going. not one of those either. anyways, i didn't fall asleep until almost 5 AM. i woke up a little before 10 and my mother was already awake. and the problem with that is, i know i am already hours behind. joy.
the USWNT defeated Vietnam last night, 3-0. next, they will play the Netherlands on Wednesday night.
the New York Yankees won last night at home over the Royals, 5-4. hopefully, they will win again this afternoon.
Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both very good last night.
AEW Rampage was good last night.
i did catch some of the Leagues Cup last night. Lionel Messi certainly has a flair for the dramatic.

the USWNT plays tonight in the Women's World Cup against Vietnam.
Leagues Cup starts tonight as well. i might watch some of Messi's debut with Inter Miami against Cruz Azul. Leagues Cup is the new in season tournament between the MLS and Liga MX, Mexico's top division of soccer teams. it should be rather interesting.
the Yankees start a series tonight at home against the Royals. to say i couldn't give two shits right now about them is an understatement. Trevino is now out for the season with a wrist tear that he has been trying to play through. if Judge has a setback, they might as well start trading off who they can and just play the fucking kids.
i need to get going since i still have to feed the birds, vacuum the house and make dinner.
i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

i sent out 13 poems today, 3 to The Beatnik Cowboy; 5 each to Synchronized Chaos and Lothlorien Poetry Journal. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.
the next to last email i had of the 370 i had to check last night before i tried to fall asleep, was an email from Ancestry.com. so, in that email, it let me know i had a new match on the site, and it just happened to be the cousin that molested me as a child. fuck me. no matter how much i feel like i have moved on, dealt with, been through and continued to live, etc. it almost seems like the universe is letting me know... no matter what, this is going to haunt you until the day you take your own life. exactly what i wanted to be on my mind right before bed. good times.
the New York Yankees got swept last night at the Angels, 7-3. that means they went 1-6 on a very winnable road trip out of the All Star break. joy. they start a series at home tomorrow night against the Royals.
i did see some of the highlights of the MLS All Star game last night.
AEW Dynamite was very good last night.
the series finale of Mayans M.C. was excellent last night.

so, before i get to my 2 hour adventure in the grocery store today, let me tell you about my trip to the eye doctor yesterday. this was my first time to this eye doctor. they recently took over where the old CVS in town was so the place looks very new. all the equipment looks brand new, so that gave me some hope that this experience was going to be completely different than the last 15 years or so at the eye doctor. and it was. i did love how the doctor was very attentive to my questions and really seemed to listen. i loved that she showed me this is how your vision is with your current prescription and this is it with the new prescription. wow, what a difference. i should get the new glasses and sunglasses in a couple of weeks. now, to that part. i picked out frames before my appointment online and that saved a ton of time. all told, with all the other fees and everything, it was $895 for both of the glasses. i got a call from the eye doctor this morning and i guess the lady that rang up my bill forgot to charge me for the frames of the sunglasses. so, with the 40% off that i got from my insurance for the sunglasses, i guess i still owe $114. now, the lady that made the mistake was so apologetic this morning, which was a breath of fresh air to be honest. they told me i can just pay the balance when i come in to get the new glasses. all in all, i'm pretty happy i made the change.
so, today mom gave me a scroll for the grocery list. 2 stores, nearly 3 hours of shopping and a little over $250 later, i got everything on the list. i have never been so fucking tired after grocery shopping in my life. it was fucking humid as fuck today on top of it. i guess mom wanted to feel like she is in a restaurant and can have anything she wants at any time. joy.
the New York Yankees lost last night at the Angels, 5-1. hopefully, they will not get swept tonight, although it seems like they are determined to just be a last place team this season.
NXT was very good last night.
Deadliest Catch was crazy last night.
Don't Forget the Lyrics was pretty good last night.
Dark Side of the Ring was great last night.
i did watch Hot Wheels: Ultimate Challenge today on Peacock. it was insane.

we had some pretty strong storms come through the area last night. thankfully, no tornado warnings this time, but there was quarter-size hail in some places. the worst here was it knocked out the satellite feed for 20 minutes or so.
the New York Yankees lost last night at the Angels, 4-3, in 10 innings. it would be nice to see them win tonight, but i'm not holding my breath.
Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

i guess Manchester United is finally starting to make some signings... they play a preseason friendly tomorrow morning against Lyon in Scotland.
i am looking forward to finally getting my eyes checked again. i'm hoping this place in town is better than the place i went to for years. at least so far, it is much better. more on that tomorrow.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.

so, i thought i was going to have this Monday where i was going to try to squeeze everything in. turns out, that wasn't the case. mom wasn't feeling good when i woke her up this morning. so, she cancelled her physical therapy appointment at noon. and then i thought she had an appointment to get the battery on her iPhone changed. but, i guess she thought she made the appointment for today but actually made it for tomorrow and they don't have the batteries in stock. so, she cancelled that as i have an eye doctor's appointment tomorrow. so, i was able to get to the bank without feeling rushed at all. and i got in a decent nap this afternoon.
the New York Yankees lost yesterday at Colorado, 8-7, in 11 innings. they start a series tonight at the Angels.

i guess the smoke from the Canadian wildfires is back around for us. joy. mom wanted to make French Toast this morning to use up the rest of this French bread i got at Kroger. it was really good. plus, we got 3 different meals out of this French bread. i think that was good use of $1.
the New York Yankees won last night at Colorado, 6-3. hopefully, they will win the series this afternoon.

i did see that ETH stripped Harry Maguire of the captaincy today. hopefully, he will be on a different team this upcoming season.
i'm hoping to write some poems this afternoon.
otherwise, i am hoping for a quiet, relaxing day. (i know, i'm laughing as well)
mom has physical therapy at noon tomorrow and then an appointment to get the battery on her phone changed after that. so, i'm guessing i will be on here in the late afternoon tomorrow.
i did watch some of the Wimbledon men's final this morning. of course, i had a $2 bet on the wrong person.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.

so, after the grass got cut today, i decided to put out some suet for the birds. that also meant, i needed to take down a shepherds hook in the front yard and put up a better one in the back garden. we figured having the hummingbird feeder higher up would be better than where we had it before. hopefully, it will attract more hummingbirds. i'm still waiting for the rain they said would be coming all this week.
both episodes of What We Do in the Shadows last night were fucking hilarious.
the New York Yankees play tonight at Colorado. i'm interested to see how Sean Casey being the new hitting instructor will change them, if at all.

i had to go to Rite Aid this morning to pick up some prescriptions. it is really humid today. you know, the air you can wear type shit. so, i fully expect we'll have some thunderstorms this evening.
so, the USMNT lost last night to Panama on penalty kicks. the one thing that frustrates me the most about the USMNT is they are never clinical with the chances they create for themselves. they could have scored 20 seconds into the game last night. instead, it goes off the post. and honestly, it is those few inches where this whole program needs to get better.
Panama will now play Mexico on Sunday for the Gold Cup.
AEW Dynamite was pretty damn good last night.
Mayans M.C. last night was excellent. the series finale is next week.

sometimes you get so fucking used to being in pain, that the aches and whatever just become normal. it is like background noise. i was doing the dishes last night and took a step and my knee gave out. oh well, i still had bowls and plates to clean. my back gave out today while grocery shopping. oh well, still got 3 things on the list. i know in the grand scheme of things, this all means i'll probably be dead in a few years. oh well, i feel like i am getting to the point where i have squeezed all the marrow out of this life. of course, knowing my luck, i still have a good 30 or 40 years to go before i get lucky enough to die. and if you think i'm saying lucky is wrong, you obviously have no fucking clue what i have gone through in 47 years of life.
the National League won the All Star game last night for the first time since 2012, 3-2. i didn't watch much of the game.

Deadliest Catch was very good last night.
i did watch Hot Wheels: Ultimate Challenge today on Peacock. it was pretty good.
