I thought that I was going to have more time to work on this post than the situation has turned out to be ─ I mostly blame my immersion into an E-mail that I had to spend time researching in the latter afternoon.
In fact, entirely related to the subject matter that got me so caught up in making my E-mailed response were two videos that my younger brother and I watched this morning ─ both videos were apparently recorded yesterday.
The first was just over an hour long: Jan 30 - The Sikh Community Fights Back Against NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh's Lies & Deception About Convoy.
In the video, hosts Odessa and Norbert Orlewicz were interviewing a young woman named Sunit Kaur who might be older than I initially thought she was if her 'growing up' years involved the 1970s and 1980s.
The second video was almost 50 minutes long: First Truckers Conference Sunday Jan 30th.
I was not aware that a woman figured largely in the organizing of the Freedom Convoy 2022 ─ and apparently she (Tamara Lich) is Métis.
I wish that I had the time to continue on this topic, but I do not.
By the way, I did get out early last evening and hiked over to the elementary school playground a half mile away that has the five heavy-duty rings suspended from chains that the older kids can use for some serious exercising. I am still attempting to regain all of the strength that I had prior to last October, the month that I apparently nearly died from what was diagnosed as "COVID pneumonia".
The walking was part of that effort. And as for the rings, I was only able to do four sets of a single repetition in each of the sets, but last November I could not even begin to pull myself up ─ let alone elevate to a full pull-up.
I am definitely growing much stronger. I also have all of my weight back, and stripped down I look pretty nearly as good as I used to.
A few words now on the weather ─ the day was mostly sunny. It was raining last evening, and the cloud cover no doubt prevented any development of frost overnight. Despite the sunshine today, though, there was a very chilly wind blowing that made it uncomfortable out there to just be standing around ─ or trying to sit and enjoy the sunshine (which I didn't attempt).
My wife phoned me late in the afternoon to report that she has taken another $500 from my monthly pension ─ that is now $1,300 that she has usurped. She then tried to mollify matters by saying that she would reimburse me $1,000 later today after she is home ─ she has been away since leaving here no later than 10:15 a.m. (if I am remembering correctly) last Friday morning to go to work at the Thai restaurant where she is employed part-time.
Her friendships and involvements with the various Thai and other Southeast Asian ladies she has come to know since her immigration here to Canada in May 2006 is unbelievably expensive. Where I am concerned, it is effectively ruinous.
I am wholly trapped in the deep debt that she has incurred for us.
But this is another topic I have no time for, even if I was inclined to delve into it.
There is nothing more than I wish to speak about, so I am going to sign off right now.
