well, it didn't rain today. but, when it gets hot like this, there is a whole different level of problems or potential problems i have to deal with. and of course, one of those leaped to the forefront today.
so, i got mom to her doctor's appointment. it was at 12:30. sometime around 1:45, we finally went back to see the doctor. i was beyond pissed at this point. and of course, we waited longer back there as well. sometime around 2:30, we were leaving. mom gets her next injection in September. so, i took her to get her frozen Coke (i guess this is her reward) and we went back home. within 15 minutes of her being home, she went into her bedroom and fell. i'm guessing she was trying to set her frozen Coke down on her nightstand, lost her balance and fell down. she cut her face and her arm, just enough to bleed. i gave her a concussion test. thankfully, her eyes weren't glassy and she knew her name and what day it was. when it gets warm like this, her Meniere's Disease truly fucks with her. and i mean to the point where it doesn't take much at all for her to lose her balance. so yeah, this will be my summer. anytime she's out in the heat, i need to strap a damn leash on her and make sure she doesn't fall.
so, after all that, i went to Rite Aid to get my prescriptions. there was no charge for those. i then did part of the grocery shopping at the local grocery store. i got what i normally get on Wednesday and some chicken for dinner tonight. i don't feel like being over a hot stove this evening.
i was devastated last night learning that Desus & Mero were splitting up and the show would be no more. those motherfuckers have made me laugh harder than anyone over the last decade or so. they will be missed.
the USWNT defeated Canada last night, 1-0, to win the CONCACAF women's championship. this all means they have qualified for the next World Cup and the next Olympics.
i didn't watch much of the Home Run Derby last night. i would love to see Juan Soto in pinstripes one day, that's for sure.
The Captain last night was very good.
Don't Forget the Lyrics was really good last night.
Monday Night Raw was good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be NXT, Deadliest Catch and What We Do in the Shadows.
Manchester United defeated Crystal Palace over in Australia this morning, 3-1. from what i saw on the highlights, i really like how they are playing now.
i might watch some of the MLB All-Star game tonight, mostly just to see the Yankees involved in the game.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.
i had another night of shitty sleep once again. i'm guessing that is exactly what i have to look forward to tonight as well.
good times.
until tomorrow kids...

we had over 2.3 inches of rain yesterday. by the time i got done with the dishes last night, my back felt like a fucking elephant had decided to sleep on it. i ended up having to sleep in my massage chair last night. i got a whopping 3 hours of sleep. joy.
the Yankees whipped Boston yesterday, 13-2. they go into the All Star break with the most wins of any Yankees team ever, 64.
so the rain last night fucked with all the shows i was recording. that made for a frustrating night.
i did watch the best named rivalry game in soccer, Hell is Real, which is the name for the Columbus Crew vs. FC Cincinnati derby. Columbus won last night, 2-0.
i did watch a few other MLS games yesterday as well.
Big Brother was good last night. Pooch has to be a fucking idiot. who the fuck volunteers to go up on the block?
Westworld was fucking great last night.
The Chi was excellent last night.
Flatbush Misdemeanors was pretty funny last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw, Miz & Mrs, Don't Forget the Lyrics and The Captain.
i will probably watch some of the MLB Home Run Derby tonight. mostly to see if it runs long so then i would have to adjust what time i record The Captain, the new ESPN documentary about Derek Jeter.
i did listen to episode 404 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can hear that by going here:
so, i did send out 5 poems today to Synchronized Chaos. when i hear back from Cristina, i will pass along the verdict.
so, mom finally decided that she wanted to update the main bathroom here in the house. i feel really comfortable with the company she is going with. and if it turns out the way i think it will, it should be an incredible upgrade to what we have.
the USWNT takes on Canada tonight in the finals of the CONCACAF women's championship. since i don't have Paramount+, i won't be able to watch the game tonight. i will follow it somehow on my phone though.
i should be on here tomorrow after i take mom to her doctor's appointment.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.

the Yankees won last night over Boston, 14-1. it was nice to see them get back to normal again. hopefully, the boys will win again today.
Nikki Glaser: Good Clean Filth was fucking hilarious last night.

so, after i went to the bank today to deposit a check, i decided to go to Meijer. i was hoping to find some baseball cards. i ended up buying a Gypsy Queen box of cards, 1 pack of Diamond Kings and 4 packs of 2022 Topps Series 2. had a couple good cards in the Gypsy Queen box. found a great rookie in the Diamond Kings pack (Oneil Cruz) and found the rookie card i have been hunting for awhile in the Topps packs (Wander Franco). i also got a couple of binders to put some pages of cards in as some of my other binders are getting way too big now. all in all, i spent $75. i think there was somewhere around $60 worth of cards in what i opened today. i was hoping to find some Bowman cards but i didn't have any luck with that.
the Yankees left a small village on base last night and lost to Boston, 5-4, in 11 innings. i hope they win tonight but the way they are playing right now, i won't be holding my breath.
Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both pretty good last night.
AEW Rampage was excellent last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Nikki Glaser: Good Clean Filth.
i didn't sleep well last night, but i did get a shave and shower done, so there's that. my arthritis has been acting up today. plenty of rain in the area, just enough to drive me nuts.
i should be on here tomorrow before the Yankees game starts in the afternoon.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

it was one of those nights where i could never get comfortable in bed. between the phantom pains in my left leg from a blood clot years ago to a pinched nerve in my neck that i thought was getting better... i couldn't find a spot to sleep for anything. sometime around 5 AM, exhaustion took over my body. of course, i saw the clock at 6 and then 7 and then at 9:30, i said fuck it. and then i somehow managed to strain my Achilles tendon while standing up. as i told my mother, it is the official sign i am getting old, falling apart and the dirt will be coming soon. she laughed as she knows i won't be dead anytime soon. of course, the same thing goes for her as well.
the Yankees lost last night to the Reds, 7-6, in 10 innings. they start a series tonight at home against the Red Sox. hopefully they will clean up the mistakes and actually play good baseball again before the All Star break.
the USWNT defeated Costa Rica last night, 3-0. they will play Canada in the finals of the CONCACAF women's championship on Monday.
Big Brother was interesting last night. Paloma left the game because of her anxiety getting the best of her. i want to believe that, but the cynical fuck in me thinks this is her cover for the racist shit she started against Taylor. so, no one got "evicted" last night. Jasmine is the new HOH.
The Old Man was fucking great last night. the season finale is next week.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and AEW Rampage. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.
Manchester United won 4-1 today in Australia. and better yet, Christian Eriksen is finally a red.
the New York Rangers signed their first draft pick already. i really like this kid.
i should be on here tomorrow after i go to the bank and probably do some other Saturday morning shopping.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.

as you might imagine, i haven't done much today. check emails and basically ice my back down. rinse and fucking repeat. joy.
the Yankees won last night over the Reds, 7-6, in 10 innings. hopefully, the Yankees win the series tonight.
Big Brother was good last night. my guess is Taylor will be evicted tonight. i'm hoping i'm wrong and there are some hijinks in store. ok, i just checked my Big Brother twitter sources and i have no fucking clue what is going to happen tonight. that should be fun to watch.
AEW was fantastic last night. i am so happy for Keith Lee and Swerve.

so, i'm starting to believe that maybe my mother's blood sugar is dropping at odd times now. the only other or i can think of is a fucking tumor of some kind and i don't want to have to cross that fucking bridge until i must. so, i tried to do the grocery shopping with all of this on my mind today. thankfully, i was able to get everything on the list and a few extras and not get charged an arm and a leg. i also got some baseball cards today. two boxes at Rite Aid for $11. there were plenty of hall of famers in both boxes, so i'm guessing the cards were worth around $20, so that made me happy.
the Yankees pissed away a 3 run lead last night and lost to the Reds, 4-3. what made it worse was it was the Yankees bullpen that pissed this away. 3 outs from a victory... hopefully, the Yankees will win tonight.
NXT was very good last night.
the season finale of Holey Moley was fucking crazy last night.
Deadliest Catch was good last night.
both episodes of What We Do in the Shadows last night were fucking hilarious.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother and AEW Dynamite.
so, NHL free agency started today. i was pretty interested to see what the New York Rangers were going to do. well, i was a little shocked that they signed Vincent Trocheck. he does fill the need for a second line center. i just hate they had to give him 7 years to get him to sign with the Rangers. they traded Nemeth to Arizona and signed two backup goalies. i can't wait to see what kind of magic Chris Drury works to get their own free agents under the cap now. all in all, i do think Trocheck will help in the short term. now, if he's still playing great 7 years from now at 36 years old, i'll be fucking thrilled.
i think mom is making some tuna for tonight. i didn't want to fire up the oven in the heat again, so i got a veggie tray that i thought we could have for dinner tonight. mom wanted to make some tuna to go along with it and i figure that will be a nice, light dinner for sure.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

so, i got to bed around 5 this morning because my mother decided not to actually fall to sleep until 4:30 this morning. i woke up when the phone rang at 9:45 AM and she was already up, like she had a full night of rest. she had no clue what i was talking about. then, later this morning, she decided to be a little stubborn and try to move a plant in the kitchen. of course, she lost her balance and fell. i rushed in there from my bedroom and asked her why her rollator was 3 feet away from where she was on the ground. i checked her for a concussion and then helped her get back on her rollator, after she got the dirt up from the carpet. i really was hoping she was getting over this stubborn streak and knew she could ask for my help with anything. but, apparently she is unwilling to give that up. she set up her appointments for physical therapy before she fell. i'm trying to get her to understand she needs to have some protein with her breakfast each morning as the difference is striking when she doesn't. good times.
the USWNT defeated Mexico last night, 1-0.
Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.
Miz & Mrs was hilarious last night.
so, i woke up this morning and saw that Manchester United was already up 3-0 against Liverpool in Thailand. i figured it was a dream. but, when i saw the video and saw that United won the game 4-0, i was pleasantly surprised. now, i know it's the preseason and nothing really counts right now, but still. i'll take a fucking win over Liverpool anytime, any day.

i hate these days where it is humid right from the start. it doesn't fuck with me as much as it does my mother. her Meniere's disease is truly fucking worse when it is humid. she almost becomes a narcoleptic. today she dropped her glass of diet coke in the living room. what makes it even worse, her vision is so bad she thought the coke on the carpet was glass. there's just a glimpse of the fun i have everyday.
the Yankees pissed away a 4 run lead last night and lost to Boston, 11-6. they are off tonight and start a series at home against the Reds on Tuesday night. they are 61-25 this season.
Westworld was really good last night.

so, the trip to Kroger was interesting yesterday. i never thought it would be so damn busy on a Sunday afternoon. i waited longer in line than it took me to find what i was looking for.
i'm not sure when i will be on here tomorrow.

the Yankees lost last night in Boston, 6-5 in 10 innings. hopefully, they will win the series tonight.

i did watch most of the NHL Draft. i liked what the Rangers did for the most part. trading their backup goalie to Colorado for 3 draft picks was a surprise. not that they traded him, but that they got that much back in return. they drafted a few centers, which the organization desperately needs. all in all, not bad.
i guess mom called in some more pills to Kroger. so, now i don't have to go until tomorrow afternoon.

mom wanted Pizza Hut last night for some fucking reason. she wanted to try that Edge pizza. so, against my best judgement, i got it. stupid me. first off, Pizza Hut can't do thin crust worth a shit. the crust was awful. the stuff on top of the crust was fine. what truly pissed me off last night was the order took over 60 minutes to get here. now, if i would have been told that from the beginning, no problem. but, when i'm told 25 to 35 minutes and it takes twice as long, now i'm pissy. and since Pizza Hut acted like it was no big deal. looks like i won't be ordering from there anytime soon.
i think the rain has finally moved on. that should tame my arthritis for at least a few days.
i did open the baseball cards i got yesterday at Big Lots. the 4 packs of 2022 Topps Heritage i opened weren't good at all. i got a few rookies and one high number card. other than that, nothing special at all.
