Despite not working last night on the post I am developing at one of my two hosted websites, it was still a little after 4 a.m. by the time I got back to bed for a little less than another two hours there, for I had set my cellphone's alarm to 6 a.m.
I wanted to hike the 1¼ to 1½ miles to the nearest Save-On-Foods outlet (Google Map) which opens at 7 a.m., although I wasn't interested in arriving there too early because often there is no cashier on duty ─ the very few earliest patrons are expected to use the self-serve stations, and I absolutely hate those things.
In truth, I barely made it away from here ahead of 7 a.m. on the walk in a very fine spray of rain that had probably been in effect since the very start of my four-mile round-trip hike last evening to the nearest government liquor store.
I don't drive, so I have to walk. And because of how much I hate being out in the public, I don't even try to go anywhere during the busy workweek ─ I have to do these expeditions on the weekends.
Although I was to be walking home a fair weight in both of the packs / carrying bags that I had brought along, more than half of the cost of my total bill proved to be quercetin supplements ─ specifically, the brand AOR (Advanced Orthomolecular Research).
AOR's website lists the one-time cost of the product (as opposed to signing up for a recurring subscription) to be $56.81, but Save-On-Foods had a sale on it for $52.19. Otherwise, Save-On-Foods charges $57.99.
I can't afford supplements that costly, but I bought this stuff just to keep on hand in case someone in the household ever comes down with a serious flu. You see, quercetin is an ionophore ─ that is, it has the ability to directly transport zinc into our cells where the zinc can bring to a standstill the replication of the infectious virus, breaking its hold.
Zinc's ability to cross through cell membranes involves complex processes, but quercetin ─ just as does the harder to obtain hydroxychloroquine ─ is actually able to easily deliver the zinc right into the cell.
You can learn more about this in a February 25 (2021) article at Mercola.com: NY Doctor Proved Everyone Wrong About Hydroxychloroquine. Quercetin's effectiveness is greatly enhanced when vitamin C is also taken at the same time, as the article mentions.
So my plan is to keep quercetin on hand ─ along with zinc supplements ─ to take only when someone is coming into the grip of a viral infection. As I said, I cannot afford to be taking quercetin daily for prophylactic reasons. My monthly pension cannot handle any such expenditure on a regular basis.
That is rather unfortunate, though, for quercetin has other benefits ─ for instance, note this other Mercola.com article published on February 25 (2021): Quercetin Found to Stimulate New Brain Cells.
No doubt at my age of 71, I could use some assist in that area too, but I will just have to make do with other measures, saving my bottle of 100 quercetin tablets or capsules (500mgs of quercetin each) for viral emergency use only.
I imagine that I would probably take ─ twice a day ─ a capsule of quercetin and 1000-mgs of vitamin C, along with whatever zinc supplementation I happened to have. At present, I have 50-mg tablets of zinc citrate.
Besides those, I happen to have a plug-in nebulizer ─ two of them, actually ─ and regulation commercial 3% hydrogen peroxide that I would freely use at present full strength for the duration of however long it took to break the hold of the virus.
As I believe the first article stated, it is prudent to have these various items on hand ahead of time, than to try and acquire them after an infection strikes. In other words, better safe than sorry.
So I took the plunge and bought the quercetin ─ mine has an expiry date of May 2023. As a result, I likely won't be faced with renewing the supply for a long time.
Anyway, that's why I bought the stuff despite the cost. I bought the nebulizers early last year through AliExpress.com, and I've used one of them numerous times with full-strength commercial (3%) hydrogen peroxide.
Once I was back home from that shopping expedition, it didn't take too very long before I had declined sufficiently that a good nap was in order. At that point my brother was moving about in his bedroom, so his morning was set to start.
When I roused from my nap and checked the time, it was just something like 10:52 a.m., and I was keen on giving my brother the opportunity to have me put our Android TV Box into action and watch some of the downloaded videos I have on a USB flash drive.
Towards that end, I went downstairs to boil water for a black instant coffee. However, he had been watching The Nature of Things, and then tuned in and started watching an episode of Nova ─ just as he has done the past few Sundays.
Well, if that's what he wants to limit himself with, I'm not going to make a fuss. I came back upstairs with my black coffee and drank it here at my computer.
Incidentally, this morning I weighed myself on our mechanical scale: I ranged between maybe 178 and 179 pounds at very worst. Exactly 40 years ago, I wrote that I weighed something like 185 in the morning, and then 183 in the afternoon. It was a Saturday, and I had been fasting since sunset the day before. In the present, I intermittently fast.
My last meal yesterday was late ─ I ate after 9 p.m. following my hike to the government liquor store. But apart from numerous supplements, all I ate were two boiled eggs, a sliced chunk of extra old cheddar cheese, and an entire rather large organic orange.
And that was only my second meal of the day.
Today, I took in no calories until after a mid-afternoon nap. I had myself a hot mug of my delicious and sustaining special caffeinated beverage. I needed the boost by then to give me the push to handle the day's scheduled exercising session out in the backyard toolshed.
Once I had exercised and come into the house,, it was already after 5 p.m., and that was when I had my first actual meal of the day. But all it comprised were a big portion of a leftover lentil dish my wife had prepared on Thursday, and numerous nutritional supplements.
I will have my last and second meal between 7 - 8 p.m.
However, I want to finish this post so that I can watch some T.V. via our Android TV Box, and enjoy a can of strong beer and maybe some of the Malbec wine I bought last evening. I want to get into this before my brother returns from wherever he went this afternoon to do his daily drinking.
Before I sign off, though, I want to continue with another comment that I received to a Facebook post that I described in yesterday's blog post ─ the Facebook post concerned over a year's worth of "Covid Statistics" relating to my province of B.C.
As I covered yesterday in my blog post, I had to rebut one negative comment. Well, since that time, my cousin Tim H. added this favourable comment:
Glad someone is paying attention it is hard to hibernate and not think that the world is slowing down stay safe
I responded:
Let's hope this world class action lawsuit blows the whole farce wide open and we can start bringing the people perpetuating it to justice!

I want everyone involved in this atrocious farce to be utterly crushed ─ all of them have blood on their hands.
