here's hoping the game will be better than the commercials...

 all my bets are in for the Super Bowl. i am leaning towards the Chiefs winning a close one. i'm tired of losing money to Patrick Mahomes. hopefully i'll win a few bets and have good things to say tomorrow. of course, if Manchester United loses before the Super Bowl today, i won't be in a good mood regardless. they play at Aston Villa.

 it was in the 60's today. felt kind of weird being out in February without a coat on. i did go to Menards this afternoon. i found most of what i was looking for. i had enough rebates, etc. that the final bill was a little over $15. mom nearly shit herself when she saw that when i got back home. normally, i would spend close to $100 there.

a windy, warm day...

 it was damn near 60 degrees today. if it was just that and sunny, today would have been perfect. but, the wind had something different in mind. i had to take mom to the hospital today to do some test for her appointment next week with her doctor. i took the highway and i just love when it is so fucking windy the big trucks have a hard time staying in their lanes. joy.

one of those days...

 so, i did hear from the muse this morning before i went grocery shopping. i guess her phone was fucked up and just got it back. at least i hadn't got to the point where i was checking hospitals and the obituaries. that took a load off of my mind. grocery shopping went well today. i kept it under $200, which is becoming harder and harder to do honestly.

a nice turn of events...

 so, i was helping my mother pay her bills today when i noticed on her DIRECTV bill that we could get Paramount+ with our account now. after i got all the bills paid, i investigated that. after a little figuring shit out, i was able to get Paramount+ on the TV in the living room and on my phone. at least now if the war between the local CBS and DIRECTV isn't solved by Sunday, we can still watch the Super Bowl on the Paramount+ app. and since there is no charge for it, i will definitely take advantage of all the soccer on the app. that was a very welcome surprise today.


the New York Rangers won last night in OT at home against Colorado, 2-1. i am hoping that will be the victory that gets them going again.

so weird to be this sunny in February...

finally, a day of sunshine...

 i took a shower last night, hoping to ease the ache of my body. it didn't exactly work, but once i did fall asleep, i got a few hours of deep sleep. of course, i didn't wake up until 9 this morning, so i missed the start of the Manchester United game. more on that in a bit. we're supposed to have a run of days where it is in the 50's and sunshine. i'll gladly take them.


Manchester United won today 3-0 at home over West Ham. that is more like it boys.

an early spring...

 so, the ones that believe in the groundhog, believe there will be an early spring. great.


i made it back from the bank yesterday in time to watch the Manchester United game. that match took a few years off of my life. but, in the end, hopefully it was worth it. United won 4-3 when Kobbie Mainoo scored in the 97th minute. this kid is 19 years old and oozes fucking class. if it all works out for him, he will be one of the best midfielders in the world in a few years or less.
