Holly Lodge

Oh, what an ordeal last night was!

My younger brother would not sensibly retire to his bedroom for the night, and finally remained passed out in front of the T.V. long enough for me to fully dress and leave on the five-mile+ walk I was devoted to undertaking ─ it has become almost a fanaticism.

By this time since the early evening, I had consumed four cans of Cariboo Malt (8% alcohol) and two large shots of Kraken Black Spiced Rum (47% alcohol).

It was 2:31 a.m. when I set off, and I was certifiably drunk.

I even stopped at the elementary school playground three or four blocks from here so that I could attempt six sets of pull-ups and chin-ups. The equipment was wet, but even after wiping a metal bar dry enough to handle, I was enfeebled from lack of proper sleep and inebriation of long standing.

I now do not clearly recall, but even with much kicking and heaving, I believe that I only opened with four and then two pull-ups in the first set, possibly three and then two chin-ups in the second set, and two pull-ups between a pair of gymnastics-style rings in the final two sets.

I was too weak to try and hold the final pull-up.

And when I went to have what were supposed to be 11 slow full-range push-ups in a declined posture on a cement ramp, I collapsed in defeat after finishing the 10th ─ the 11th was beyond me.

Somehow I completed the entire walk, and was back by maybe 4:30 a.m. The house was in darkness, but I was no sooner upstairs, dressed down, and at my bedside computer when I became aware that one of my two stepsons was up downstairs from bed.

Evidently my eldest stepson was to have to put in a 12-hour shift beginning at 6 a.m.

After he left (we did not see one another, and so had no communication), it was just after 5:30 a.m. when I finally got to bed. Yet somehow, I was awake and aware that it was daylight outside around 8:15 a.m., so I rose, mistakenly believing that my brother would be downstairs watching T.V.

However, he did emerge from his bedroom early enough to access the T.V. just ahead of 9 a.m.

We were to only watch two videos this morning, both at Rumble's A Warrior Calls channel.

The first and shortest (maybe 40 minutes) had been added yesterday: The World KNOWS Mankind is in Danger.

The second video (1½ hours) had been added just this morning: UFO Shown on Camera; Epic Bar/Court Corruption Exposed.

Despite how tired I was, the second video was more interesting and entertaining than usual.

My brother was set for bed rest when the video concluded, but my wife became embroiled with a possible bank loan that involved her extensively using my computer.

I was so tired!

Finally my brother emerged from his bedroom and left for the day to socialize. This afforded me the opportunity to use his bed for a dearly required nap, but I doubt that I was down for much over an hour.

I rose and emerged from his bedroom just in time to catch my wife about to head out the door for her relatively long drive to work at the Thai restaurant where she is employed part-time.

My Sabbath fast was to commence at sunset, but I was in need of a Christmas movie and some drink. Now, I did not eat aught after sunset, but I did engage some drinking to enhance my emotional involvement in the movie.

My selection was 2017's Christmas at Holly Lodge.

Two cans of Cariboo Malt and a shot of Kraken Rum definitely affected me as desired.

Only during the opening credits did I notice what I thought might be the name of actor Beau Bridges, which was quite a coincidence for he had co-billing in the 2017 Christmas movie Angry Angel that I watched yesterday.

But I was not seeing him appear in Christmas at Holly Lodge. Then it struck me that the actor playing the male lead could almost be a young Beau Bridges ─ he had strikingly similar expressions.

And so it was ─ the actor was Beau's son, Jordan Bridges. The lead actress was Alison Sweeney, and I have got to confess that I thought that she was absolutely a luscious vision!

It proved to be a very good Christmas movie ─ just the sort I like best.

If you care to give it a shot and have a decent ad blocker on your browser, a couple of sources are M4uHD.tv or MoviesJoy.cx.

As for Angry Angel yesterday, I almost chose to cancel out of it because I was not seeking a farcical comedy, but I decided that it had room for some later emotional development. And it definitely went there!

I was not familiar with attractive little Brenda Song, but she was darned good in the role.

A decent online source is UpMovies. Another is WatchSeries.

I am extremely weary. And since it is already after 8:30 p.m., I am going to call it quits on blogging for today. I may even be to bed by 9 p.m. at latest, for I have one of my walks planned for the wee a.m.

I want some proper exercise at that school, if it is not raining. I want to see if I still have what it takes, or if I truly am into some sort of decline.
