Ghosts

It is a little strange, but although I know I went to bed sensibly early last evening, I am unsure if it was before 11 p.m. And I am not fully certain, but my cellphone alarm may have been set for 5:30 a.m. to get me up so that I would have time to adjust for some exercising out in the backyard tool shed when it became light enough to do so.

What I do certainly recall is that the drink I downed while watching a Christmas movie had me initially dealing with some vertigo once I got into bed. It's odd how darkness can bring that on.

Maybe around 1:25 a.m. I rose to use the bathroom, for I was into a wakeful spell. My wife had arrived home at some point from her full workday at the Thai restaurant where she is employed part-time, and was shut up for the night in her bedroom.

I was to have several more wakeful periods as time dragged on, but I kept resisting checking the time until ultimately my alarm did sound.

I felt normal enough ─ no further trace of any adverse alcohol effects.

As it was to turn out, I braved the dark tool shed just after 7 a.m. because I wanted to get the exercising out of the way. I had to stand around in there longer than I cared before deciding that my vision was not going to adjust any better than it had to the darkness, and so I risked climbing in order to reach the child's sled ladder that I have stretched across some rafters. Lacking access to a true chin-up bar, I have to make do with the rather thick sides of that ladder.

And so I undertook three sets of pull-ups (4-2-2), two sets of chin-ups (3-3), and two sets of pull-ups between the sides of the ladder (2-2); and I held a hang after the very last of the pull-ups between those sides for a 45-count.

Then back in the house, I managed 15 slow full-range push-ups on the kitchen linoleum floor (I brush thighs, torso, and chin to the floor, so I seriously lower myself).

The house was in darkness from the time I first got up. This had me wondering about my eldest stepson, for it seemed to me that he had not gone to work for too many consecutive days for him to be having the usual break that he gets after three of his 12-hour shifts.

I was to find a message for him on the landline answering machine in the latter afternoon from someone at Tree Island Steel where my stepson works ─ apparently he does not have to return until December 30, which I am not much liking. I don't like having him home so much.

Anyway, I returned to bed just past 8 a.m. while my younger brother was stirring about in his bedroom prior to emerging and going downstairs to watch T.V. news and drink coffee. But I was only down for maybe a half hour before rising again, and then going downstairs to join him a little after 9 a.m.

At his invitation to put our Android TV Box to work, I led us off with a 48-minute (48:46) video uploaded yesterday to YouTube's The Myth is Canada channel: Canada the Illusion.

A film produced by Timm Stein, in collaboration with Xander La Rue, Doug Force and The Myth Is Canada. This film is entirely based on facts and not opinions! The viewer is strongly encouraged to verify each fact. The film was first released on December 11, 2024.

This film exposes the fraud that has been committed on the people of the land mass commonly referred to as “Canada”. It highlights the historic facts and showcases in detail who committed the fraud and when it was committed. It presents hard facts that show how the illusion was implemented and how the people have been deceived, trapped and enslaved. It also presents the solution for the people to free themselves from the illusion and create a new reality.

A lot of work clearly went into the video, but it was all for naught where my brother and I are concerned. The legalese documentation was too confusing and bewildering for us to fathom and follow. It proved to be heavily into Common Law, as well. Under the current corrupt political and judicial systems, it may as well be irrelevant whether Common Law is the truth or not ─ it shall never hold sway, so as far as I can see, it's not worth bothering trying to understand it. There needs to be massive organization of those who believe and are fluent in it, and that just isn't so.

Next I tuned in a 26-minute (26:18) video uploaded yesterday to YouTube's Northern Perspective channel: Jagmeet Singh gets SLAUGHTERED by Reporter That doesn't PUT UP with his NON ANSWERS!

At least this video was more interesting and entertaining.

Then came a 25-minute (25:42) video uploaded July 29, 2013, to YouTube's The Best Film Archives channel: Cuban Revolution & Fidel Castro's Communist Regime in Cuba | Documentary | 1963.

This documentary film focuses on the revolution in Cuba on 1959 with the exile of Batista, a tyrant in the eyes of many Cubans. It discusses the days leading up to the revolution, which many saw as the beginning of democracy in Cuba. Then it shows the consequences of Castro's actions after he won power, and the world's response to his communist regime.

There is far, far more to the full description, so please refer to the video link if interested.

We finished up with BBC's Ghosts ─ episode seven ("A Christmas Gift") of final season or series five. The commercial-free 29-minute (29:36) episode is presently available to watch at this OK.ru link.

My wife rose into the latter morning and mysteriously soon left well ahead of noon. It was too late for her if she had a full day's work, but hours too early if she was only scheduled for the latter afternoon.

While I was probably near the end of my early afternoon nap, she texted me at 3:12 p.m. to ask yet again if I could transfer her $300 so she could buy new tires for her car. This was to lead to a flurry of exchanges, and ultimately I complied, even though the transaction brought my account down to $529 and change with the fortnightly mortgage due next Thursday.

I don't know what's going on with my stingy two stepsons, but they are not contributing enough towards the mortgage ─ especially the older lad who earns more per hour than I ever dreamed of getting back before I retired.

I wish one of the two of them would announce he was moving out and getting an apartment or something with a girlfriend ─ then finally I would have my excuse for selling the house.

Crap! I see that I am frittering away too much time ─ I've been looking at boot advertisements because I have been considering risking the two-mile round trip hike to Surrey Place (Central City) for a new pair of boots at The Shoe Company. But I hate to lay out the money ─ I feel so damned stressed.

I may not even be able to handle the walk ─ my left foot's plantar fasciitis (or whatever is wrong) is still sore from the trauma of Tuesday evening's four-mile+ round trip hike for beer ─ trekking home 10 pounds of beer in each hand was devastating for my foot.

I'm going to close today's post and worry out what I am going to do. Regardless, it will be a late night of T.V. (via our Android TV Box) with my brother, and of course beer.
