Yesterday I expressed in my post that day that I wanted to get out early this morning for a good, long walk.
Well, I didn't manage to get to bed last evening until 11:15 p.m. And as usual, sleep was shy about visiting me. When finally I did sleep, the first time I was awake enough to be curious about the time, I found it to be 3:45 a.m.
So I rose then. It was very lightly raining outside.
But I was tired. The first thing I did was boil water for a big mug of instant black coffee, and then I got to work adding some content into the post I am still constructing at one of my six hosted websites.
Alas, I was never to feel capable of sallying forth for a long walk. This mindset only worsened with the advent of broad day ─ how could I face the public when I was clearly still in need of more sleep? I needed to feel physically fortified, optimistic, and even enthusiastic ─ not all dragged out of any vigour and resolve.
And so it was that just after 7:00 a.m., I was back into my bed for some further sleep, quite unhappy with myself and with God. If I was not so helplessly buried in debt, I could be living somewhere else where I would not need to have to steel myself to brave the public whenever I wanted to go outdoors and undertake a long walk.
I have always been a 'country boy' at heart. Here in the City of Surrey, I am shackled ─ my own nature has me too crippled to function as others seem to be able to do perfectly well.
Since I do not drive, I am pinned to the spot, unable to betake myself from here to somewhere else in which I could engage a peaceful and serene lengthy walk in natural surroundings.
I remained abed until 9:30 a.m., by which time my younger brother was downstairs watching T.V. It was actually very good just being in bed ─ luxurious; I had to force myself to get up from it.
When I finally went downstairs just ahead of 10:00 a.m. to join my brother and put our T9 Android 8.1 TV Box into operation, I had a movie in mind ─ the most recent of the Underworld series.
I located it, but I noticed that a movie in the series that was released a few years earlier was unfamiliar to me, so I settled upon tuning that prequel in ─ 2012's Underworld: Awakening.
I am no longer able to tell if I have seen all three of the even earlier Underworld movies ─ I suspect that I have missed out on at least one of them. It just seems too much trouble to delve into them to figure out what their status with me is.
I sure do like the look of Kate Beckinsale in her tight black outfit! That gal exudes physical fitness.
Back in mid-November, I watched her in the movie Serendipity and could barely believe that it was the same actress ─ it predated the very first Underworld film, so she was younger then.
My brother impugned Underworld: Awakening, and expressed his great displeasure by disappearing for great periods of time during it. He can be quite the ass. He misses vast sections of movies or T.V. shows, and then bitches that they made no sense and were uninteresting.
I cannot but help believe that his years of heavy drinking has resulted in a brain that is considerably disabled beyond what it should be for his age.
But at least he has taken to the series Hap & Leonard that I began tuning in recently.
The first six episodes of that series featured actress Christina Hendricks whom I quite like, even though she is not the physically fit spectacle that Kate Beckinsale presents. I am slowly working my way through Christina's series Good Girls.
Those same six episodes of Hap & Leonard also featured an actress portraying a rather tall and physically powerful killer named Angel ─ actress Polyanna McIntosh.
She looked hard and considerably less than beautiful, but her body very much grabbed my attention, for much of it was on constant display. For that reason alone, I researched her to find out who the actress was.
Quite to my astonishment, I was to discover that she also portrayed a character in another T.V. series, and who had no sex appeal to me whatsoever ─ the leader (Jadis) of the 'garbage people' who were all introduced in 2017 on the T.V. series The Walking Dead.
I had no idea that the same actress had a body that could interest me as much as she did in Hap & Leonard! After all, I felt absolutely nothing for her in The Walking Dead ─ in fact, less than nothing, for she actually 'turned me off'.
And I had read that she had once been involved in modelling. It made no sense ─ how could someone so unappealing to me have ever been a model?
I'm now becoming something of a fan, I must admit. I would like to see some of her other roles.
I am going to have to break from this post ─ it is now 5:47 p.m., and I need to get in the day's scheduled exercising session while I am still able.
oooooooooooooo
It is 6:11 p.m. now. Today's exercise session is the 'easiest' of a three-day cycle that I presently observe.
But getting back to today's T.V.-watching with my brother, we finished up at 1:00 p.m., at which time he elected to return to his bedroom to rest up ere driving away for the afternoon as he usually does.
He'll be back anon for his usual evening of television, and I'll operate our Android TV Box to tune in three episodes of as many T.V. series that we follow. Then I'll take my leave and get to bed ─ he can sit up until midnight or 1:00 a.m. drinking by himself.
My wife should be showing up at some point today ─ probably early into the latter half of the evening. She understands now that I seem to want to retire earlier than does my brother, so I don't expect her (if she does indeed come home) to be usurping our bedroom to be watching something on a tablet she has access to.
Incidentally, after my brother sought his early afternoon bed rest, I performed a set each of chin-ups and pull-ups out in the backyard toolshed before finally having my day's first meal, after which I needed to nap it off.
My brother was gone when I emerged from my bedroom.
When I came downstairs thereafter to fix up my day's second hot caffeinated beverage (quite apart from that black instant coffee of the early a.m.), I got involved in conversation with my youngest (22 years old) stepson ─ that ate up at least a half hour that I don't think either of us intended to have so donated. I had no sooner eased myself back upstairs here to my computer than he rushed outside and took off in his older brother's car.
We've had some extensive sunny breaks over the latter afternoon and early evening. And with that stated, I might as well bring this post to a close.
