I was to bed last evening by maybe 9:45 p.m. due to the besotted state of my younger brother once he arrived home from his daily 'socializing'. I could tell that he was sloshed, but I gave a shot at tuning in and watching an episode of The Flash with him via our Android TV Box. I'm presently working us slowly through the crossover series story-arc "Crisis on Infinite Earths".
Well, after a very few minutes I looked over at him, and his eyes were tight shut. I watched for a bit more to see if his head would droop, but it only did so slightly. Nevertheless, i decided that the episode was being utterly wasted on him.
I took my unopened can of beer back upstairs, then returned to find his condition unchanged. So I turned off the Android TV Box and switched the T.V. over to its basic cable programming. This seemed to pull him out of his mindlessness, but I was done with him and he knew it. Before I was yet upstairs, he was already using the remote to find something to watch in his drunken solitude.
At least one of my stepsons was home at the time, so it was not like my working wife would be coming home to just him. And I think that she did show up fairly soon after I was in bed and trying to sleep.
It truly annoys me when the drunken ass forces my hand like this, for it denies my wife and I any opportunity to talk (we have separate bedrooms). That carried over to this morning when she had a full workday (with an 11 a.m. start) at the Thai restaurant where she is employed part-time.
I was watching scamdemic / casedemic / plandemic videos with my brother when she rose at 9:30 a.m. or so, a half hour earlier than is usual on her workdays. She showered and readied herself, then by 10:10 a.m. was away on her fairly long drive. The only communication from her was a general "Morning" greeting to my brother and I when she first came downstairs; and then a "Bye" to us as she left.
But I am breaking sequence with events.
When I had gotten ready for bed last night, I had set my cellphone alarm for 3:00 a.m. so that I could rise for an early walk. After finding some sleep, there came a point when I was suspiciously awake, so I checked the time ─ it was something like 2:53 a.m.
What point in remaining in bed?
I decided to just get up and be away a few minutes earlier than would otherwise have been the case.
I was to find that my eldest stepson was still up, but I got away unnoticed probably no later than 3:11 a.m.
All was dry outside, but it was speckling some inconsequential rain. And it was unpleasantly chilly with a breeze. I mentioned in yesterday's short post that a chilly breeze has been making things rather unpleasant for over 24 hours, and this state is carrying on as I type these words early in the (quite sunny) evening.
I only walked for what was probably a minimum of four miles, but I stopped at an elementary school playground early into the walk ─ as well as towards it conclusion ─ to do some pull-ups on the exercise rings included in the school's array of play structures.
I really struggle to do the exercise, for I feel dreadfully heavy. This avoirdupois was actually borne out when I weighed myself yesterday morning before having eaten anything ─ I had only had a mug of coffee with 'the works', and I weighed myself when totally naked: 193 pounds at a height of perhaps five feet and 10¾ inches (179.705 centimetres).
Also note that I am 72 years old.
So I truly struggle to manage just one pull-up when I am fully clothed, including wearing hikers and a denim jacket. I likely do not weigh too much shy of 200 pounds.
I am fully 30 pounds heavier than I was five months ago, shortly after getting myself released from just over 11 days in hospital with a bad case of diagnosed "COVID pneumonia" that had scarred my lungs.
Perhaps it is a marvel that I can even perform one pull-up at all at this bodyweight and my age. I attempt to do one as a set, and then three further sets with a 30-count between them. I nearly did two pull-ups in the second set this morning, incidentally.
As I have also written about of late, I am courting a condition of an onset of lameness that has begun to affect my left leg when I walk for any distance. It creeps in at the longitudinal tendons of my left foot and the muscle sheath at the outside of my shin in the region over my ankle. Ultimately as it sets in, I find myself unable to use the ball of my left foot to rise up when I am stepping, and so I begin walking flatfooted.
This morning, because I was keeping a rather slow pace, I didn't notice the affliction manifesting until I had travelled a little over two miles.
By the time I was home again just ahead of 4:50 a.m., the rain had increased and was steady, if fairly light. The darned breeze made it feel more serious than it was.
I am unsure when I made my return to bed, but it could be that I remained up for an hour after getting back.
I did not sleep that efficiently, but it was comfortable being in bed. My open bedroom window is almost above my head when I am lying in bed, so the chilly breeze made being out of bed an unpleasant prospect.
However, when I checked the time around 8:43 a.m., I decided that I would rise for the morning. And when I did, I realized that my brother was also up and showering.
As for the videos we were to watch this morning, I feel that I ought to mention one we watched yesterday morning featuring journalist Megyn Kelly as the interviewer.
The video was practically two hours in duration, and is only the first of two ─ we have yet to watch the second in the interview series.
We watched it on YouTube, but that is probably an unreliable platform, so I will link to it at Rumble ─ it was posted there back on March 21: Fauci, Vaccines, and Big Pharma's Power | Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Interview, Part 1.
Megyn has an adversarial interviewing style; and despite clearly being in accord with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., at times she almost seemed to be badgering him. Even my brother had to remark that he did not know what to make of her.
Three of the videos we were to watch this morning were (first) an interview hosted by Dr. Mercola that was uploaded to BitChute on March 18: Antibiotics in the Chicken Industry- Interview with Maryn McKenna.
We watched a 14-minute Rebel News video that was uploaded to Rumble on April 1 ─ I would love to see a far longer interview with the woman who was the subject of this one: INTERVIEW: Christine Anderson reveals why she scorched Trudeau in front of the European Parliament.
The final video we were to watch was not too much shy of two hours. It was an interview hosted by Action4Canada's founder: Tanya Gaw, Dr. Greg Gerrie, The Truth About The Central Banking System, How to Protect Your Cash $$$.
What is the truth about the Central Banking System and what should you be doing with your cash?
Dr. Greg Gerrie will help educate us on the Central Banking System, Fiat Currency, investing in gold, silver and the right crypto currency.
Dr. Gerrie…Author – Teacher – Pastor – Freedom Fighter…has a degree in economics and also degrees in Education and a doctorate in Theology. Dr. Gerrie loves to teach and is passionate about bringing the truth to people.
My brother bowed out (in favour of some bed rest) ere the video had finished, even though I know he is very concerned about his pension fund. Perhaps his need to rest up so he would be more energized about getting out early in the afternoon for his 'socializing' was paramount. Unfortunately for me, my retirement pension fund is with the federal government ─ as far as I know, there is no such thing as 'cashing it in' and taking some reckoned lump sum instead of having it doled out on a monthly basis as is happening.
And I am so deep in debt, it is impossible for me to be investing in gold and/or silver. At present I cannot even invest in a new pair of footwear. Everything I am wearing may be a full two decades or more old.
Oh gosh, it is already after 7:30 p.m. What state will my brother be in when he arrives home this evening? I would like to be able to have a couple of cans of beer while watching an episode each of a couple of the series we follow; but if he is clearly sloshed, I won't bother trying.
