At worst last night, it was 12:30 a.m. by the time I was to bed with my cellphone alarm set for 4 a.m. Yet when that time arrived, I was almost unbelievably wasted, and could barely force myself to get up. Possibly this was due to the recent night heat, but last night I had let my ceiling fan run on its lowest of three speed settings.
I hope it had nothing to do with the large possible mosquito bites I discovered yesterday following my afternoon sunning session. I have two on the back of my right rib cage; and in the evening I discovered another on the outside of my right thigh. If I could have only noticed the culprit, I would have been merciless ─ maybe I would even have tortured it if I had managed to catch it (or them, if more than one was involved).
The damned bites are aggravating, so I am trying not to touch them.
Fortunately it was a Sunday and I was not planning on going anywhere until around 6 a.m. ─ I had time to adjust towards normalcy, even if I could not quite achieve that state.
It was 6:20 a.m. or so before I left on my intended five-mile+ walk. There was some very light cloud, but the sunny sky was otherwise clear.
I was definitely lacking, feeling dopey from insufficient sleep. This state never fully left me. I also found myself in a foul mood. Only twice did it briefly lift, and both times were in Green Timbers Urban Forest (Google Map) as I walked some of the trails.
The first occasion was when I coincided with a trim and spright older gal whom I have sometimes encountered there. I was just coming off a lesser trail that I had mistakenly found myself meandering around on, and she was forging along the main trail I had originally thought I was taking.
I would have had the lead, but I was not inclined to feel pushed of pace, so I laughingly invited her to take the lead, claiming that she was going faster than I was.
She laughed and thanked me, confessing that she isn't always able to travel as fast as she was trying to go ─ she has her bad days.
It was a pleasant social encounter with a nice lady.
The second experience was on another trail I had not before travelled. A younger couple of some sort of Oriental derivation were coming in my direction, and were walking an unleashed small, greyish, rather short-but-curly-haired dog.
Normally encounters with dog walkers really annoy me, but as soon as this little squirt saw me, it came gleefully running to me for some social loving. The couple obligingly waited while the little critter and I interacted, and I spoke that this had made my morning.
The man laughed and said that I seem to have made hers as well ─ apparently the small dog was female.
This encounter sustained me for a time.
But once I had left the forest and was back on sidewalks, the stresses seeped back in. Nor was it helping that about 1½ miles from home, my lower left leg and foot began going lame. I did some grocery shopping at Save-On-Foods about ¾ of a mile from home, and about halfway home after that my limp was pronounced and most discouraging.
I was miserable from that point.
No one was up when I got back home nigh 8:45 a.m. (my eldest stepson had a 12-hour day shift that began at 6 a.m.; he had risen well after I had gotten up), so I took advantage of this and returned to bed to seek a nap ─ I was wiped out. In fact, I had been tempted to down a can of Bumper Crop Crisp Apple Cider (7% alcohol).
It was around 10:30 a.m. when I grudgingly revived, and rose because I believed myself to be hearing the T.V. on, signifying my brother was watching something.
I joined him, and soon enough got invited to put our Android TV Box into action. And so I tuned in a 47-minute (47:39) video recorded yesterday by Odessa Orlewicz: WARNING: This October 2024- Launch Of NEW mRNA Replicon With Replicating "Machinery" Gene Therap. No Long Term Studies.
Japanese Immunologists/Virologists WARN THIS October launches NEW EXPERIMENTAL mRNA "Replicon With Replication Machinery" inside the gene therapy that is fraudulently called vaccines. Japanese people get to be the Lab RATS now. Japanese virologists/immunologist WARN public that this may be dangerous for humanity with NO way to stop it once it starts. They are NOT doing long term studies at all before they launch it to the rest of the world. So which so called disease are they using these for? Disease X? The fraudulent bird flu? This episode contains 3 separate videos about it.
My brother was not to watch all of the video. At about 11:30 a.m., he was all set to leave for the sunny day. He said something about his early purpose, but I could not hear, and did not press for him to repeat.
I finished watching the video, then had a reasonably light first meal of the day before going back to bed late in the noon hour, still feeling well below my par.
I next revived and rose around 2 p.m., believing that my wife would by then have risen (she had come home at some point last night after I had gone to bed) and would be faced with another latter day stint of work at the Thai restaurant where she is employed part-time.
But she was not yet up. She in fact did not emerge from her bedroom until 3:02 p.m. And even then, she displayed no urgency about having to ready and leave for anywhere.
I didn't query her about her job, but I suspect that she has today free. However, around 4:15 p.m. she did take off whilst I worked upon this post ─ possibly she just went shopping.
Had she not been home, I could have done some serious sunning, but I do have my concerns about this mosquito issue. One of the immediate neighbours must have something holding water in which the infernal things are breeding, for there are no bodies of water hereabouts.
And now as I type these words at 4:55 p.m., my wife has returned. She must only have been shopping, and thus does indeed have the day off work. I remain guilt-free about not sunning.
★★★
There is quite something amiss with me today. Awhile after the last paragraph above, I found that I had to crash yet again, and even napped a bit.
And now it is almost 8 p.m. and somewhat cooler out there.
I am desirous of a walk yet this evening, but unsure just what it should comprise. Maybe I need a beer or cider or two ─ the alcohol may lend me the boost I seem lacking in.
With that said, I am going to deem this post sufficient for today. And yes, my wife has remained home, having cooked a supper I have yet to investigate. I won't eat before my walk, unless just a snack.
