X (formerly Twitter): Real Ben
It seems to me that I never got to bed until possibly something like 5:30 a.m. this morning. Iniquity, of course. I knew it was imminent, but the machinations had involved last evening and not the very late night; however, my younger brother's solicitation of me at 9 p.m. to put our Android TV Box into play of course required what remained of the evening.Bev chose to retire to the bedroom and watch T.V. there rather than sample whatever my brother and I were to watch.
Our entertainment included the following shows in this sequence:
- Lawmen: Bass Reeves ─ the only season's "Part IV".
- Star Trek: Discovery ─ episode one ("Brother") of season two.
- Doc Martin ─ episode one ("Sickness and Health") of season or series six.
- A Touch of Frost ─ episode three ("In the Public Interest") of season or series 14.
My brother passed out for most of Star Trek: Discovery. And as for A Touch of Frost, only now have I discovered that we had watched the third episode of season 14 ─ I had believed we were watching episode one of the season, but the Stremio streaming app evidently misfiled the third episode and I did not know when I selected the link, not having read what the episode was titled nor about. Thus, I shall have to make a note about this for next time.
My brother rather sensibly went to bed, but of course I did not; nor do the four cans of Cariboo Malt (7.9% alcohol) I had drunk merit any blame whatsoever ─ it was my fault alone.
Notwithstanding my folly, I found myself awake soon after 8 a.m., if I am recollecting correctly; and despite feeling wretchedly underslept, I rose, and took possession of the T.V. just ahead of 9 a.m.
I remembered that my brother had not retired to his bedroom, but rather to the now-vacant bed of my eldest stepson who moved out nearly two weeks ago to live with his girlfriend.
Or has it been nearly three weeks? I can't remember.
However long back it was that the lad moved out, my brother chose to sleep in the vacated bed because he was concerned of physical deterioration overnight and preferred not having Bev adding to a bad night's sleep. You see, he had taken a pitch over a Jersey barrier when he was coming home last evening through the darkened short alleyway beside our house. One of a pair of barriers had been moved a couple or so days earlier, so my brother failed to remember its new positioning. It had been parallel to the alley, but had now been adjusted so that it cut directly across the alley.
And so my brother came trudging along in the dark soon after disembarking a bus, and overtop the barrier he went onto the pavement.
He has done this at least once before, and had taken to bearing a small flashlight with him to avoid it happening again, but evidently he has lost the illuminator.
At his age of 72, he won't keep avoiding worse damage than scrapes and deep bruising if this continues.
So this morning I had tuned in a nearly 2½-hour (2:28:11) video streamed February 27 to Rumble's Vaccine Safety Research Foundation channel: VSRF Live #166: The Yale Study – A Firsthand Account.
This Thursday at 7 PM ET, we’re diving deep into now infamous Yale Study, a groundbreaking yet heavily suppressed investigation into the immune system disturbances linked to COVID-19 vaccination. This critical research exposes shifts in T cell populations, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) reactivation, autoantibody production, and persistent spike protein in the blood—findings that raise urgent questions about vaccine-related immune dysfunction.
Joining us are Dr. Bruce Patterson, MD, and Dr. Ram Yogendra, MD—the pioneers who first identified these alarming patterns in post-vaccine patients. But we’re also bringing you an exclusive firsthand perspective. Our very own nurse, Angela Wulbrecht, RN, BSN, who participated in the Yale Study herself, will share her personal experience with these immune disturbances.
Angela was among the first to witness and experience the troubling effects documented in this study. Her story brings a human face to the science, shedding light on the real impact these immune changes have on everyday lives.
Darned if it did not prove to be very interesting, even though initially I was so badly in need of further sleep that I almost returned to bed.
My brother was to join me quite early into the video.
At its conclusion he went on upstairs to his bedroom for some rest, at which point Bev had come downstairs to boil water for an instant coffee and then turn the T.V. back on (I had shut it down following the video), and she has kept the T.V. on all the day since.
I had an early afternoon nap without eating, and rose to find that my wife was home and cooking in the kitchen. She was to ensure that I had a bowl of the dish she was at work on.
My brother was gone ─ off to catch a bus to engage his social drinking.
It seems that my wife had to work the latter part of this sunny and almost warm day, so she left towards midafternoon, but without a word to me. If she said aught of a goodbye to Bev, I never heard it from here where I tend to be seated at my bedside computer upstairs.
A little later in the afternoon I made to have some exercise in my wife's bedroom, but I just could not psyche up for it. I was feeling far too poorly from inadequate sleep, and undue joint stiffness and pain. It seemed I would be risking harm of some description feeling as I did at my age of 75.
As the afternoon began to darken, I had a light meal, and then here at my computer I tuned in Cybill ─ episode 15 ("Cybill Sheridan's Day Off") of season four. During it, I drank a can of Cariboo Malt. I almost watched a longer episode of another series and broaching a bottle of Jim Beam to enhance enjoyment of the show, but somehow I held back on both counts ─ I wanted to more or less undergo a Sabbath fast, for it had already progressed well past sunset.
Incidentally, my source for the Cybill episode was this OK.ru link.
My brother has been home some while now, having shown up at 6:35 p.m. Regardless, I am determined to have an early evening so that I can rise in the wee a.m. and get some exercise at the elementary school playground about three blocks away.
I want to mention that a little earlier in the latter afternoon, I underwent the slow download for very future viewing of the 2018 movie The First Purge. My source was this GFort.ru link, but it seems that the movie can be just viewed there as well. The movie for watching there online does play in the original English despite the website being Russian, so I am hoping that my download is also going to be strictly English.
Okay, I had better close and publish this post to free me up for my early bedtime. My brother usually watches T.V. with Bev until 9 p.m. before seeking me out, but that does not rule out him doing so earlier. It is 7:23 p.m. right now, so I prefer to take no chances ─ I do not want to lose tomorrow as well as today to a late night.
