My 3 a.m. cellphone alarm roused me, but I felt unusually able to be getting up and confronting the ¾-mile round trip hobble over to the nearby elementary school playground to test out my seeming miraculous recovery from the debilitating nerve pinch in the upper right quadrant of my back that I suffered so terribly with on Monday.
I could dare no exercise whatsoever that day.
It had rained, and all was dripping wet outside, but the cloud cover was blowing north and there were tears in it revealing some black sky and occasional stars.
At the school I had to wipe dry a bar for the pull-ups and chin-ups I was intent on, but I was still rather eager. At home before leaving, my weight while dressed exactly as I would be for exercising was no worse than 185 pounds.
I had no intention of straining myself and risk a recurrence of that nasty painful near-paralysis, so if I am remembering this clearly ─ and with a 30-count between sets ─ I opened with three sets comprised of just one pull-up in each; then three sets with two chin-ups in each; and I finished with the usual two pull-ups in both of the sets performed between a pair of half-rings.
I next had a dead hang for a 70-count before making my way over to a nearby metal ramp for 10 slow full-range decline push-ups.
Overall, I felt rather good for the whole experience.
By the way, my wife had not come home last night.
I am not fully certain when I made my return to bed, but I am guessing that it was ahead of 7 a.m., and maybe no worse than 6:30 a.m.
I managed some sleep of an intermittent nature, and did not later check the time until it was already after 9 a.m. by some while.
I hastened myself up, fully expecting that my younger brother was downstairs watching T.V., but he had not yet emerged from his bedroom. Thus, I assumed its control, and I do not believe that he made appearance until after 9:30 a.m.
Whatever the case, I had two videos by Anita Krishna for us to watch ─ uploaded yesterday at YouTube's AnitaK channel ─ via our Android TV Box:
After those I tuned in a video exceeding an hour (1:07:42) published yesterday to Rumble's Libertytalkcanada channel: Shocking First Nations Fraud $$$ Scandal Exposed Just In Time For "Orange Shirt Day".
In Canada The United Nations Marxist Led "Land Back" Reconciliation Agenda takes a BIG HIT As More Financial Fraud is EXPOSED- We show clips. With guest politician Dallas Brodie. MUST SEE information.
When that was over, I resumed the final portion of a video we had broken from late yesterday morning so that my brother could return to his bedroom for further bed rest.
It was 33 minutes (33:53), and had been published January 24, 2021, to BitChute's bluedemon218 channel: Project 596 China's Nuclear Tests.
Project 596, (Miss Qiu (Chinese: 邱小姐, Qiū Xiǎojiě) as code word, Chic-1 by the US intelligence agencies) was the first nuclear weapons test conducted by the People's Republic of China, detonated on 16 October 1964, at the Lop Nur test site. It was a uranium-235 implosion fission device made from weapons-grade uranium (U-235) enriched in a gaseous diffusion plant in Lanzhou.
The atomic bomb was a part of China's "Two Bombs, One Satellite" program. It had a yield of 22 kilotons, comparable to the Soviet Union's first nuclear bomb RDS-1 in 1949 and the American Fat Man bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan in 1945. With the test, China became the fifth nuclear power in the world. This was the first of 45 successful nuclear tests China conducted between 1964 and 1996, all of which occurred at the Lop Nur test site.
We finished up with an episode of an old T.V. series, but I had to postpone it for (I hope) tomorrow so my brother could have that bed rest.
He was to fool me. I had presumed that he would not be making a beer run until tomorrow, for he seemed to have maybe around 10 cans of the brew. And so I did not seek my own nap until at least 1:30 p.m. But he went and resupplied regardless.
Now I will be down to my final half dozen cans of Cariboo Malt (7.9% alcohol) after I drink two others later this evening.
I must make the effort tomorrow to alert him to my desire to ride along on his next venture for beer, for I cannot walk the four-mile round trip with my damaged right knee.
This has been a most gloomy day. I suppose we may have had some passing rains, but I never noticed any.
I had some light exercising late this afternoon in my wife's vacant bedroom shortly after she texted me at 4:04 p.m. to ensure that I was taking advantage of food that she had previously brought home from the restaurant where she works part-time.
I have no intention on rising early in the a.m. tomorrow, so I am going to watch a couple of shows here on my bedside computer and drink those two mentioned beers while enjoying the shows.
So here I am taking a blogging break at 7:44 p.m.

Ere I had begun watching anything, my brother arrived home from his daily foray via public transit to do some social drinking.
I first watched The Handmaid's Tale.
I had resumed the series a week or two ago after maybe a half dozen years, but could not recall where it was that I had left off back then. So I resumed with episode 12 of season two, but finding it somewhat familiar.
I began watching the subsequent episode this evening, but it was too familiar. Consequently, I began checking out a few further episodes, and they were even more familiar. I finally settled upon season three's episode four ("God Bless the Child").
This one seemed less familiar, so perhaps I will carry on from here unless the next episode becomes clearer to me ─ back a half dozen years, I had often consumed a considerable amount of drink in an evening, so it is very possible memory of the episode has been blunted by that drinking.
We shall see how things proceed when next I tune the series in. My source this time was this TVids.net link, if at all interested.
As investing as that series and the episode both are, they are utterly unrealistic. Maybe in some Islamic world, this might potentially be possible, but not in anything Western and modern.
When I saw that the next show on my watching list was The Guardian, I was openly relieved. Sure, it can be very disappointing in some episodes, but at least it has real life applications. It is not fantasy.
The latest episode I watched was the first season's concluding episode 22 ("The Beginning"). My source was this GOOJARA.to link.
What a cliffhanger of a season conclusion! I have no idea how Nicholas can possibly rise from this mess. And I'm quite bummed that he was fully instrumental in killing beautiful character "Mandy" (as played by actress Jamie Anne Allman).
This show entirely erased the "aura" or atmosphere that The Handmaiden's Tale had left me with.
It's late enough. I still want to brush my teeth and begin shutting down whatever I have going here on my computer, and then getting to bed. It may be lightly raining outside. Anyway, it is 11 p.m., so that is all for today.
