'Twas just after midnight when I got to bed last night, with my cellphone alarm set for 4 a.m. in order to get me up for an intended five-mile walk.
At one point after a period of wakefulness that found me to be curious enough abut the time, I took a peek ─ it was something like 2:38 a.m. This was too ridiculously soon after having gotten to bed, so I sought further sleep.
When next I was awake and checked the time, it was 3:50 a.m., so I opted to rise then and ready for the foray. It was audibly raining outside, but not a hard rain. And by the time i readied myself and set off, it might have been as late as 4:08 a.m.
I got the walk accomplished, but my fairly quick pace had slowed before I was yet half done. And by the time I had maybe two miles left, it weighed upon me how abysmally boring this whole enterprise was.
I am only doing the walk for that purpose alone, and it gets to be a sheer drag. Knowing that I will probably only be doing the walk just twice a week, it's going to take considerable determination to keep up with it.
I am likely going to have to select a different five-mile rectangle in order to make the outing more bearable ─ the sameness is otherwise likely to prove insurmountable.
It certainly would help if I could walk without having to endure the headlights and even the mere intrusive presence of vehicular traffic everywhere I have to walk.
I think that it was something like 5:50 a.m. by the time I was outside the locked front door when my walk was done. I dropped a glove and had to pick it up, but that required me to support myself with my hands as I attempted to slowly stoop down ─ the walk had left me inflexibly stiffened. I felt like an arthritic 72-year-old.
Maybe I am ─ I am certainly 72.
As for the rectangle I used in the walk, I have the approximate centre-point marked in this Google Map. The rectangle's boundaries were 128th Street; King George Boulevard; 96th Avenue; and 108th Avenue.
Each of those boundaries are quite busy highways, so I did not exclusively walk them. Rather, I tended to follow them for relatively short distances, preferring to take to quieter roads within the rectangle that are paralleling those major arteries.
I can't recall now how long I remained up after getting back home, but following some further sleep, I was probably up again no later than 8:30 a.m. In fact, I was downstairs with my first morning coffee ─ this one loaded with 'the works' ─ by maybe 9:15 a.m. and had the T.V. on before my younger brother emerged from his bedroom for the morning.
Since I had immediate control of the T.V., I led off our viewing (via our Android TV Box) with a 2017 Western titled Painted Woman. I located an excellent source for it in the Syncler app that I have downloaded in that Android TV Box.
I was expecting some complaining from my brother, for he generally only gives a movie 10 or so minutes. However, he was silent, and was soon caught up in the plot.
I was completely unfamiliar with diminutive lead actress Stef Dawson, but apparently I have seen her before ─ she appeared in three of The Hunger Games movies, but I don't remember her.
I had no idea that the actress was Australian ─ I never detected any hint of such an accent. It was clear that she was very beautiful, but in the scenes where she was dressed in 'cowboy' clothes or simple country dresses, at times she looked like she was a mere beautiful young girl. Yet the actress was in her early 30s at the time.

The movie was most enjoyable, and held a few surprises ─ plot twists that my brother and I never suspected were coming. I definitely recommend it. I am now a Stef Dawson fan and intend to watch other programming that features her.
I followed the movie with a couple of videos that dealt with the recent Pfizer release of the first 55,000 pages of its 'secret' trial records on its experimental COVID-19 injection.
The first video is sourced at YouTube and thus likely to get censored / deleted, but it was 23 minutes in duration and uploaded on March 9 by Dr. John Campbell: The Pfizer documents. The same video is of course available on other platforms such as BitChute ─ see here, for example.
The second video on the Pfizer trials was 21 minutes long, and uploaded to Rumble on March 15: Dr. Meryl Nass on Unbreaking Science w/Dr. Jack.
With 1 p.m.'s approach, my brother sought some bed rest; and I soon enough did the same. He was gone for the afternoon when I finished my nap.
I must here mention that yesterday a letter arrived for my wife from Canada Revenue Agency. It was a "Notice of collection" officially seeking payment for the more than $1,600 personal income tax debt that she incurred for the 2020 tax year.
(I filed her tax return for 2021 a couple of days ago, and she owes just as much yet again!)
She hopes that we can just start making payments and attempt to be rid of the 2020 debt over the course of the next 12 months.
I think that I had something else I wanted to mention, but it is already after 7:30 p.m. and I must cease blogging for today and get this post published.
