Just prior to an early evening bath yesterday ─ and after only having eaten a noon hour meal ─ I stepped on the scales while entirely naked and easily registered 192 pounds.
How is this happening?
I did manage to get away later in the evening on a walk (before my younger brother was home from his socializing), leaving here no later than 8:20 p.m. The original plan had been to put in at least five miles, but that was to include shopping at the nearest Save-On-Foods outlet on the return portion of the walk.
Once I was out on the walk, I realized that I would have needed to have left home earlier if I wanted to get to the store before its 10 p.m. closure, for by the time I was 1½ miles from home, it was already around 9 p.m. Since Safe-On-Foods is nigh a mile from home, that would have meant that I would need to cover maybe 2½ miles just to get to the store, and that would have put the time perilously close to 10 p.m.
So I deserted the plan, and devised a shorter walk that likely gave me a total walking distance of 3½ miles (at minimum).
And although I did bring two carrying bags for my shopping load ─ which itself did not seem overmuch ─ by the time I was back home, the overall experience was physically telling. I suspect that I had not fully recovered from my longer walk two evening earlier that brutalized me.
Even so, my likely broken left toe ─ the damage occurred exactly a week ago with some inadvertent furniture kicking ─ had become so painful that the last half of the walk became nearly impossible to not evidence a limp. I do not like displaying frailty, so I tend to do my best to disguise any.
Incidentally, it was 9:59 p.m. last evening by the time I was standing outside of the front door. My brother was of course home and watching T.V.
He was not fussy with the old episode of Charmed that he tuned in at 10 p.m., so when I had put away my shopping and dressed down and then joined him, he invited me to put our Android TV Box into action (he does not understand how to operate it, and thus must cope with the meagre fare offered through our basic cable package).
And so we were to watch an episode each of DC's Legends of Tomorrow, Chicago Fire, and then Animal Kingdom.
Concerning DC's Legends of Tomorrow, the series has certainly accumulated some exceptionally gorgeous actresses as the heroes. Last evening we watched the first episode ("Ground Control to Sarah Lance") of season six. There was an early scene in which Olivia Swann (as Astra Logue) was wearing a miniskirt and otherwise decked out in a late 1960s / early 1970s look ─ I had no idea that she was as tall as she seemed compared to her co-stars, nor that she had such well-developed legs.
She has now become the fourth such actress ─ i.e., "exceptionally gorgeous" (and 'leggy', by my reckoning).
By the way, that was an interesting twist to make rather cowardly Gary Green (Adam Tsekhman) turn out to have been an ugly alien in human disguise all this time.
As well, although the name Lisseth Chavez is unrecognizable to me, I did recognize the guest actress as being some sort of regular on one of the U.S. cops shows I watch ─ I see now that it is The Rookie.
What I also realize now is that she first also became a regular earlier on Chicago P.D. before Legends, for my brother and I are still watching that cop series. I thought that she had very muscular thighs as a cop in that series, but on The Rookie she no longer impresses me in that fashion ─ she looks more as if she is battling a bit of a leg flab problem. Still, maybe the uniform is at fault. In Chicago P.D., she got to wear what appeared to be tight black denims.
I refrained from having a drink last evening, since I was not really supposed to be available to be watching T.V. with my brother as I was.
But tonight will be different ─ I will have my usual two cans of strong (8% alcohol) malt.
When I rose this morning, I was in such sorry condition ─ so much aching and pain ─ that I could not see how it would not be necessary to abandon the session of backyard tool shed exercising once my brother had gone to pick up his girlfriend Bev at 10 a.m. to drive her to work.
Nevertheless, I was determined, even though I felt it essential to only attempt the six sets of pull-ups and chin-ups ─ and I just barely managed to achieve my present ceiling best performance: 4 - 3 - 3 - 2 - 2 - 2 repetitions in those sets. Fully clothed, I had weighed in beforehand at possibly 197 pounds!
It is cold out. We never got out of the freezing level today, and there is a nasty frigid breeze that makes it seem far worse. I pity the flowering plants that have begun to appear. We already have a mini-iris cluster of two or three flowers that appeared a few days ago.
There is talk of some snow in the forecast.
My morning T.V. time with my brother led off with two videos uploaded to Rumble's What's Up Canada? channel.
The first was posted there two days ago, and was titled Last Week Today, Episode 89.
Last Week Today is a compilation of the best stories of the week from Chuck Black at “Freedom Forum News” (www.freedomforumcanada.com) and Wayne Peters from “What’s Up Canada” (https://whatsupcanada.org/)
We stream online live, every Monday at 7pm EST
I have become quite annoyed with Chuck Black's speaking style ─ he keeps accentuating one or more words in his sentences by practically shouting into the microphone, and it is becoming intolerable. I may have to skip watching any of these episodes if it does become more than I can bear any longer.
The second video was posted yesterday, and was an hour long: Common grounds & foes, America's new relationship with Canada.
Lt Steve Rogers joins us to talk about the encroachments of unelected foreign entities. Globalism does not recognize borders, cultures, nations, or anything else we hold dear to our hearts in America or Canada. Patriots from both sides of the border are uniting on common values against common oppressors.
The next video I tuned in had been posted to Rumble's Canadian Citizens for Charter Rights and Freedoms channel on February 17, and was 50 minutes in duration: C3RF "In Hot" interview with Tanya Gaw from Action4Canada.
Major Russ Cooper (Ret'd) discusses a rising tide of pushback by everyday Canadians against the governmental and institutional overreach that is crushing their rights and freedoms. It appears that there is a growing understanding that the cavalry is not riding over the hill to save them and that their children need to be protected from predatory school curriculums. Strap in for a very informative ride.
And because my brother noticed a fairly short (13 minutes) Rumble video that piqued his interest, we tuned in one from Awaken With JP's channel: Behind the Scenes of Tucker Carlson!
Join me as I react to my recent appearance on the Tucker Carlson show talking about the beauty of being a childless man!
I topped us off with an episode of Inside No. 9.
Thereafter my brother sought some bed rest before taking off for the day to socialize, and I soon enough followed suit in seeking a needed nap. He was gone when I later rose, perhaps around 2:30 p.m.
Now some photos taken by my wife in Rome, Italy ─ she has been away since catching an early evening flight from YVR on January 23.
Today has been her 50th birthday ─ and for her, that special day ended at 3 p.m. Pacific Time Zone because that was when it became midnight in Rome, and so her birthday thus ended over there.
She posted these first two photos to her Facebook account at 3:24 a.m. Pacific Time Zone, or 12:24 p.m. during the noon hour in Rome:
She was apparently quite thrilled at reaching this milestone birthday, for she accompanied the two photos above with this comment:
🎉🥂💰 My half Century is come true 🥂🎉🥰 Happy Birthday to me 🥰❤️🎉I am glad of that ─ I did not want her to be feeling melancholy.
Anyway, at 10:25 a.m. Pacific Time Zone (7:25 p.m. Rome time), she posted these three photos of herself with her sister:
And finally, these last two photos were posted at 2:42 p.m. Pacific Time Zone, or at 11:42 p.m. Rome time ─ she is enjoying an evening birthday celebratory supper at a restaurant called La Madia located in Piazza Zama:
She also posted a pair of very short videos, all of which are pretty much in Thai. It appears that my wife may have enjoyed more than one birthday cake on her day:
I am going to close today's post here ─ as usual when it comes to adding photos, I spent far longer working on the post than I had budgeted.
