It took me a little effort last night to compel myself to go to bed ─ the urge to remain up to continue drinking, and to maybe even watch a Christmas movie ─ was powerful.
And if yesterday's post had been handwritten instead of typed, it would have finished as a nearly illegible scribble.
My brother arrived home from his daily socializing while I was first working on that post in the mid-evening, so I had to suspend its completion until into the a.m. after my brother retired for the night.
When he and I were watching T.V. together via our Android TV Box, I was unfortunately unable to continue one of the Christmas movies that we had broken from during the midday ─ there were only two sources for it, and that evening neither of them was functioning.
So I tuned in a 1951 Bob Hope feature titled The Lemon Drop Kid. It was ridiculously unlikely, but nevertheless quaintly enjoyable.
We concluded our viewing with this year's very interesting and action-filled Violent Night. I only just now have learned that the actress who played a controlling wealthy matriarch was Beverly D'Angelo ─ when the actress was younger, she was damned hot!
As I watched the movie, I figured that whomever the actress was, she likely was very attractive when she was young. Now I know.
By the way, before my brother got home that evening, I watched a good 2015 movie titled The Spirit of Christmas. Actress Jen Lilley was a treat to watch.
Alas, I must have been getting rather drunk over the course of the movie. I cannot clearly remember if Daniel ─ the murder victim who appears in his physical form every year for the 12 days just prior to Christmas, and who Jen Lilley's character was to 'fall in love' with ─ got to remain a living man after the mystery of his death some 93 years earlier was resolved, or if Jen was going to have to deal with only ever seeing him each year for 12 days.
Good for Daniel if he got to remain a living man and have a normal life with Jen's character ... but it does seem preposterous. Why him and not any number of far more worthy humans whose lives were cut short?
But enough about movies. I will only say that I hope to watch at least one Christmas movie before my brother returns home this evening (he left early in the afternoon to once again 'socialize').
My wife apparently did not have to work today. And that has cost me ─ she almost begged me for $500 with which to pay her car insurance, and to renew her expiring I.D. She has been home the day because both today and tomorrow are probably public holidays, so neither of those two chores were possible at this time.
Tomorrow, though, the Thai restaurant where she is employed will likely open up for business, so I expect that she will have to work that day and thus not be here.
I gave her the $500, but doing so almost exhausted my cash on hand. She is definitely going to have to pay it back as soon as possible, for we've got January's mortgage payment to worry about ─ it is usually debited from my chequing account on the 22nd of each month, but the account at present only has $79 and change.
My brother's girlfriend Bev had to work today, so he left here this morning to pick her up at 10 a.m. and drive her to work. My wife was not yet up, so I braved some exercising out in the backyard tool shed ─ specifically, the sets of pull-ups and chin-ups were the challenge. I have of late had little exercise, and been doing considerable drinking.
My performance was telling. I performed nine sets in all; and for repetitions, I managed three in the first set, and then just two in each of the others. I weighed myself afterwards while fully dressed as I was in exercising, and registered around 190 / 191 pounds.
Always keep in mind my age ─ I am 73, and not quite five feet and 11 inches in height. That is a fair amount of weight for someone my age to be hauling up and down.
After my brother was back home from his errand, we watched a couple of videos, beginning with the December 21 upload to Rumble by Canadians for Truth: [FIRE & ICE LIVE SHOW] "Pastor Artur Pawlowski".
Theo Fleury and Jamie Salé sit down with Artur Pawlowski, a well known advocate for the poor and the homeless, Canadian clergyman, and civil & human rights activist.
I very much enjoyed that one. It was a little more than an hour (1:09:07) in duration.
The second video was an episode of Open Mike with Michael Thiessen that was uploaded to Rumble on November 19, and was well over 1½ hours (1:40:09): Deanna McLeod Pt. 2: Myocarditis and the Vaccines.
On this week's episode of OPEN MIKE, Mike is joined once again by Canadian Covid Care Alliance (CCCA) clinical researcher Deanna McLeod, founder of Kaleidoscope Strategies and Covid Sense, this time to talk about the serious side effects of the COVID vaccinations. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO WANT TO MISS THIS!

We had previously watched the first interview not a week ago, I would say.
I am going to close today's post here, even though it is only around 4:30 p.m. My final words concern the weather ─ I hear it raining outside at present; and overnight last night, we remained in the double digits of Celsius, so our snow is dramatically disappearing.
The mild temperature made exercising out in the tool shed considerably more attractive, for there have been occasions when the bars that I must use for pull-ups and chin-ups were so cold that it was almost too much to bear. In truth, the cold of the metal bars kept me from going out there on more than one occasion!
Alright, I have restrained myself from having a drink all day long. I can wait no longer.
