And to All

I failed to sleep well, so when my 3 a.m. alarm chimed to get me up for my ¾-mile round trip venture to the nearby elementary school playground for some exercising, I was most disinclined to get out of bed.

But I did.

There had been a dream that featured what seemed a younger me. I was in a something like a busy mall, and had just parted company with what might have been a co-worker ─ an attractive Chinese girl. We seemed to be taking leave for either a weekend, or else it was something more final.

Whatever the case, we were good-naturedly interacting, and as she was going her way, she offhandedly suggested that we should get together for a later dinner date. Well, I don't do that sort of thing ─ not even in my dreams; so I was non-committal.

But as she ascended a few steps to a slightly higher level in this place, and turned sideways to me to say something more or to even just smile back at me a final time, her skirt rode up the leg lowermost on one of the steps, and I was struck by how exceptionally shapely it was.

She pulled her skirt down somewhat, probably unconscious of the display and its effect on me; but I was snared by that vision ─ I could not bear separation from her. And so I offered that I actually was interested in having that dinner date with her.

At this point consciousness began to prevail and there was no more to the dream. I will not here speculate on whether this was a dream featuring a version of either of two such former co-workers or not, for this lass was not either of them. But they certainly did attract me.

I thought at some point in my night that I had heard some rain, and this was born out; everything was wet from some much earlier rain, for by this time the pavement was merely damp and only wet where rain had puddled.

The night was milder than I expected ─ not at all chilly.

It was necessary to wipe a bar dry enough to afford a decent grip, of course. But as said, it was mild enough that I removed my jacket for freer exercising, and it showed. I found later after I was back home that with my jacket removed, I weighed approximately 184 pounds in everything else I had worn while exercising.

Thus, two sets of pull-ups (four and two repetitions); two sets of chin-ups (three repetitions in each set); and two sets of pull-ups between a pair of half-rings (two repetitions in each set).

I only performed a dead hang for a 60-count. Then a couple or so minutes later at a nearby metal ramp, I tackled the usual 10 slow full-range decline push-ups.

I noticed during my exercising that breathing was especially difficult; I attribute this to the suffocation effect of the very humid night air.

All done, there was naught to do by make the hobble back to home.

My wife's car was absent, so she had not come home for a second night.

I always spend much time here at my bedside computer, so it was a little past 6 a.m. before I got back to bed. And I was to remain there until around 8:30 a.m. after correctly believing I had heard my younger brother go downstairs for the morning.

When I joined him a little past 9 a.m. it was still overcast outside, but slowly things began to clear up due to a strong relentless breeze that forced me in the earliest afternoon to dramatically reduce how much my bedroom window was open.

As for T.V. with my brother, when he soon enough gave his invitation to me to start operation of our Android TV Box, I led off with a five-minute (5:24) video uploaded yesterday to YouTube's AnitaK channel: The Deal Carney Should Be Making.

Then I tuned in an hour-long (1:00:01) video published two days ago to Rumble's Libertytalkcanada channel: Bombshell New MAINSTREAM Study LEAKED!! Hidden Cameras! Vaxxed WAY SICKER With Disease!

From this, we moved on to Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ─ episode eight ("Collision Course (Part I)") of season six. That one got exciting! I like what they did with character "Snowflake" ─ humanizing her by having her become emotionally involved with character "Zeke".

And we finished with some more of the black & white movie we had begun yesterday. But just like yesterday, we had to suspend it so that my brother could get further bed rest.

I fried up three eggs for breakfast; and I was still up when my brother later emerged again from his bedroom to watch a little T.V. with Bev. I was to soon near him and my wife greet one another, so she had finally come home.

I was not to forsake my nap, however. My brother left for his bus to take him social drinking before I was back in bed for my nap. By the time I finished, it was close enough to when my wife had to begin readying to leave, for evidently she had to work the latter part of the day at the Thai restaurant where she is employed part-time.

She left on her fairly long drive around 3:15 p.m.

The afternoon seemed to be all sunshine. I had delayed my nap partly because I wanted to see if my brother was going to restock on beer. Fortunately, he did not. He will probably need to do it tomorrow if he hits his supply with usual vigour this evening after he gets back home.

I would not have gone with him this afternoon because I needed my nap, and that is especially true when there is so much sunshine out there. I just wanted to know if I still had my chance for tomorrow or not, although I do have at least enough to last me to Monday.

Right now it is 4:34 p.m. and I am going to break from this post. It is a bath day, so I must get that time-consuming chore over with. I will be skipping any light exercising in my wife's vacant bedroom for want of the time.

I'm considering watching a Christmas movie, but I will report on that in the latter evening. Early tomorrow morning I may well go forth to do some shopping, but I am unsure if it will be to a pharmacy or a food store.

🞉🞉🞉🞉🞉

Things got off to a slow start ─ my youngest stepson appropriated the bathroom ahead of me, so I had to wait until he had a shower.

I gathered up more of a supper than I had intended; but by concession, when I was stripped naked for my bath, I may have been as low as 176 pounds.

I ate while watching the early portion of 2016's The Christmas Reunion. My source was uploaded November 24, 2022, to YouTube's FamilyTime channel: The Christmas Reunion | Full Movie.

Lord, that thing was sappy and with starkly amateur acting! I didn't want to waste a second can of Cariboo Malt (8% alcohol) on it, so I stalled for the first 35 minutes before opening it, and then drew it out before finally finishing the can, leaving myself a short enough stretch of time that I made do for what remained of the movie.

The only time I recognized any believable acting was when bitter character "Jessica" (played by unknown-to-me Faith Dillon) broke down towards the end as she had a major turn of heart ─ her extended crying scenes were completely realistic to me.

It definitely was not my kind of Christmas movie, and I would not knowingly choose to tune it in again.

It finished at 8:43 p.m., and as yet my brother had not yet returned to keep Bev company. However, he did show up 15 or so minutes later.

Thereafter I got so involved in various matters here on my computer that I never had time to watch or drink anything else. Even my wife came home!

Time for bed ─ it is 11:04 p.m.
