During the night I underwent what was likely a hypnic jerk such that I chomped down on the rear left side of my tongue with such resultant pain that I became quite awake, and could only lay there helplessly while I tried to ignore the burning aftermath enough to be able to return to sleep.
When my 4 a.m. cellphone alarm later sounded, I was not feeling as well slept as I was expecting, but I rose, knowing that a mug of stiff, hot instant coffee with the works would soon enough restore me.
I think both of my stepsons may have still been up, but if so, the youngest was just going to bed. The eldest was seated at the dining table watching something on a laptop. I prepared my beverage without any communication, and then came back upstairs here to my bedroom where I keep this computer.
The lad was to seek his bed within a half hour.
My plan coalesced into a later five-mile+ walk with some grocery shopping on the return at Save-On-Foods when I was about a mile from home. The store opens at 7 a.m., but as long as I arrive there between 7:30 - 8 a.m., I am content.
It was possibly as late as 6:10 a.m. when I was on my way in such a weak rain that it was no threat to ever be getting me wet, so because I had no exercise at all yesterday, I decided to stop at the elementary school playground three or four blocks from here and undertake six sets of pull-ups and chin-ups.
Considering that fully dressed I was likely weighing 190 pounds, and I am 74 years old, I fared rather well exercising bare-handed on the wet equipment that I did not bother trying to wipe dry. I managed four and then two pull-ups in the first two sets (a 30-count between all sets), then three and two chin-ups in the middle two sets, and finally a pair of pull-ups in both of the final two sets performed between a pair of gymnastics-style rings. Overall, I felt quite strong, even when I held the very last pull-up at highest elevation for a 15-count that was more like a 20-count.
It all left me feeling quite good about myself and I had my walk with a lot of 'pep in my step'.
No one was yet up when I got back home, so after putting things away, I was not too much longer before returning to bed to try and nap while waiting for my younger brother to get up and eventually turn on the T.V. There were a couple of Rumble videos that I wanted us to watch.
Well, that was not to happen ─ when he finally did turn on the T.V., he began watching an NFL game, so I just made my day's second coffee and came back upstairs here to my computer as I had done six hours earlier in the case of my eldest stepson.
Then just ahead of 11:30 a.m., I heard him turn off the T.V. and he came upstairs and shut himself back up in his bedroom.
At that, I soon was downstairs and had the T.V. to myself where I was to tune in the first of the videos I wanted to watch ─ it exceeded 40 minutes even excluding the usual now-boring concluding sequence that marks where I shut down Christopher James Pritchard's videos. The video had been uploaded November 30 to Rumble's A Warrior Calls channel: DOCTORS/ HOSPITAL STAFF MURDERED GRACE ONLY 19 YRS OLD IT'S TIME FOR JUSTICE.

I have seen at least two other interviews with Scott over the past year or probably more, but this is the first time that I have seen him so cognizant of what is behind everything happening in our world today.
My brother was to join me approximately halfway through the video.
I was not much impressed with the second 18-minute (18:10) video that I played from the same Rumble channel: NO VIRUSES EXIST COVID 19 WAS A LIE I TOLD WORLD 4 YEARS AGO!
The third and final video we watched was 1¼-hours (1:18:00) and had been added to Rumble's Roseanne Barr channel November 30: Tucker Carlson | The Roseanne Barr Podcast #24.
Two bonafide American legends and notorious truth-tellers join forces in what is sure to be an illuminating episode. Tucker drops bombs about Julian Assange’s arrest and attempted murder by Trump appointee Mike Pompeo, the CIA’s complicity in the assassination of JFK, and how the manifesto of the Unabomber was prophetic.
Strap in for this one. Even YouTube won’t be able to throttle the views on this one!

We had not before watched any of Roseanne's podcasts, but this one was really quite good, so maybe I will check in again.
Watching that last video ─ something that I did not expect my brother to do, for he left for the day once it was done ─ delayed my afternoon nap such that I really only took the time to rest my eyes. I wanted to do my best to ensure that I got out in time to make the four-mile round trip hike to the nearest government liquor store to buy a second "Naughty & Nice" Christmas gift pack of eight hi-cans (four different kinds) of Parallel 49 Brewing Company beers.
Each of these gift packs will go towards the overall gift packages that each of my two stepsons will be receiving Christmas Day.
Now I have to start building from there, for that is all I have gotten for them thus far.
Obviously I did make the hike, having to get to the liquor store before its 7 p.m. closure ─ and since it was at least 6:10 p.m. once I was on my way, I did have to hustle.
The errand has freed me up from having to take another wee a.m. walk overnight, so now I can sit up tonight and have a couple of beers while watching some T.V. with my brother once he gets back home.
And since it is already nearly 8:45 p.m., I believe that I might as well call it quits on the blogging for today.
