That I have missed creating a post here for three consecutive days is beyond rare, but the primary reason for it has been the presence home of my wife over all three of those days. She had to work today at her friend's Thai restaurant (an 11 a.m. start), so she left my younger brother and I this morning soon after 10 a.m. to catch a bus to commence her public transit commute that will involve making a transfer to another bus.
We had some rain overnight, so things were definitely very damp out there. She was hardly cheery.
I don't suppose that my brother was either when he realized what I had lined up for us once he invited me to put our Android TV Box into action ─ previously downloaded and all set to play was a nearly 1½-hour Dr. Joseph Mercola video that I had on a USB thumb drive: Glyphosate and Deuterium- Interview with Stephanie Seneff.
Much of the interview was of a technical nature, heavy with microbiological / biophysical terminology that my brother hates Dr. Mercola video interviews for featuring so prominently ─ and because the interviews themselves are so long. And further distancing him from understanding was the fact that Fridays are his laundry day, so a few times he absented himself from the playing interview for extended periods.
However, he never spake a word of dissent.
Fridays have also come to be the day of the week when he rendezvous's with one of his drinking buddies ─ they used to play pool at a pub, but now they just play bridge as a result of COVID-19 pool table bans. And their rendezvous time is around 1 p.m., so we didn't watch too much else once the interview was finished.
He won't be back home until into the evening.
Had my wife not been pretty much exclusively home these past three days, I would have tried to get out at least once to do some specialized shopping. I have to walk, so readiness requires considerable preparation ─ I am unable to do this unless both my wife and brother are not present, so I have found myself quite constrained in more ways than just being unable to find free time to blog here.
Nevertheless, I cannot blame her for my failure to get out this afternoon. By the time I had exercised and then had my day's first meal, a nap had become necessary. Upon rising from that, I then had myself a bath ─ I tend to bathe just once every four days, and today happened to be the day.
The bath requires that I shampoo my beard and shave my scalp and neck, so that adds some time.
And once I was all dried, dressed, and out of the bathroom, it was nearly 7 p.m. That was far too late for me to care to be venturing for any distance afoot, so I shall have to tackle the undertaking in the morning.
Unfortunately, the destination I wish to shop does not open until 9:30 a.m., so I am in danger of still not having the vim to make the journey ─ it is two miles from here. It is very possible that my wife will be home for the night when her workday is over, and that is going to further banish the likelihood of this undertaking should she be present.
Remember, not only do I not drive, but I am 71 years old. These 'outings' are not as easily confronted as they would have been even 20 years agone.
Anyway, it is presently working its way to 7:25 p.m., so I am going to bring this post to a close and have a strong (8% alcohol) beer or two while watching an episode of The Last Kingdom. We shall see how the remainder of the day, my night, and the morning all play out.
