😈Is It Hopeless?👹

It was 10:50 p.m. last evening before I was released from depravity's grip and I was free to get to bed.

I was to become aware overnight that it was raining; so at 3 a.m. when my cellphone alarm sounded, I cancelled it, and then reset it for 6:30 a.m. There would be no outing to exercise at the elementary school playground. Apart from the rain, I was too in need of further sleep.

I rose readily enough at 6:30 a.m., but even then my cellphone alarm had roused me from dream.

It proved wise that I had hit upon 6:30 a.m. over 7 a.m. to get me up in sufficient time for some backyard tool shed exercising once I had recovered sufficiently from being in bed, for once I was out in the shed, my younger brother emerged early from his bedroom just as he had done yesterday. Waiting that extra half hour would have scotched yet another exercise session out there.

It was nothing remarkable. I opened with a mere two pull-ups in the first of two sets; then it was a single pull-up in the next set, as well as the successive two sets of chin-ups and two sets of pull-ups between the two bars of the child's playground ladder that is all that I have to exercise on (it is spread across some roof rafters).

I did hold the dead hang of the last pull-up between the bars for a 60-count.

As always, there was a 30-count between the sets.

Then I used the two hanging ladder apparatus to assist me in forcing my damaged right knee to bear as much body weight as is possible while standing with a very bent knee. Even my 'good' leg when radically bent has some considerable strain bearing my full weight without any assistance, so I find no wonder that my bad leg cannot manage it even for a couple of seconds.

I made four such 40-count attempts before then finishing with 31 full flat-footed squats, holding the final squat in the full squat posture for a 100-count before forcing myself erect.

Back in the house I returned to my bedroom to spend time here at my bedside computer before finally joining my brother for some morning T.V. news ─ maybe around 8:15 a.m. or so. He wasn't too long in inviting me to put our Android TV Box to work.

I led us off with a 12-minute (12:50) video published November 1 to Rumble's Libertytalkcanada channel: Bill Gates Climate Laundering Operation Finally Being Investigated.

Is Bill Gates Climate Change Laundering Operation Finally At Risk?? His Foundation Is Being Investigated. A MUST SEE Short Episode.

That was followed by a 13-minute (13:38) video uploaded yesterday to YouTube's AnitaK channel: Budget Blasted but one Tory turns Liberal! Nova Scotia MP Crosses the Floor.

Every party in Ottawa ripped into Mark Carney’s new budget — Liberals, NDP, Bloc, and Greens all blasted it. But here’s the twist: the only MP who had something nice to say… was a Conservative! Chris d'Entremont

When even Trudeau’s allies turn on a Liberal budget, you know something’s seriously wrong in Ottawa. This so-called “Carney budget” might just be the final straw for Canadians watching their leaders fail again and again.
 All parties say it’s bad — except one surprise voice.

Then came a six-minute (6:16) video uploaded October 31 to YouTube's Lara Logan channel: Rogue On the Road: MOSCOW.

What does real peace in the Middle East look like?

Kirill Dmitriev, Special Envoy of the President of Russia for Investment and Economic Cooperation, tells Lara Logan that President Trump’s team achieved what few thought possible, a working peace deal that brought hostages home and united Arab nations through diplomacy, not force.

He credits Jared Kushner, Steven Witkoff, and Marco Rubio for building on the Abraham Accords and says even President Putin praised the Gaza peace plan as a historic accomplishment.

I found it of note that Kirill vouchesafed that it appeared inevitable that Europe was going to become all-Muslim because of their failure to even try to halt the ongoing Muslim invasion.

After that was a seven-minute (7:58) video published November 2 to BitChute's Banned Youtube Videos channel: Bill Gates FLIPS on Climate Change | CNBC Squawk Box - 28 October 2025.

Bill Gates on his new climate message: There's enough innovation to avoid 'super bad' outcomes

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates joins 'Squawk Box' to discuss details of his new essay ahead of the 2025 United Nations Climate Change Conference, his views on climate change, whether the Paris Climate Accords and its goals were misplaced, and more.

Something is presently amiss with the "Bill Gates Essay" link, so I am not going to activate it in my post.

Our final video was Shetland ─ episode four ("Dead Water – Part 2") of season or series two. Although the episode ended before it was yet 10:30 a.m., but brother announced that he had to return to his bedroom to "get dressed". It seems he had a barber appointment scheduled.

I had intended that we would next watch a movie, but that was that.

I fixed up a heavier 'goulash' breakfast than maybe I should have ─ or at least, a heavier quantity of black pepper than was likely wise. The black pepper was to enhance the absorption of curcumin from the quantity of turmeric that I doused my 'goulash' with. I don't just sprinkle these ─ I pour them freely; so I end up with a great deal of both spices.

Perhaps I have imagined it, but a few hours later the soles of my feet felt almost as if they were burning. This was when I was having my latter afternoon light exercise session in my wife's vacant bedroom (she had not come home last night). I was feeling oddly overheated; I even wondered what the odds might be that I might develop some spontaneous combustion because of how weird I was feeling.

Even my earlier nap did not help me recover from the heavy feed and its spicing.

But it's all good for me ─ I have no doubt. It doesn't bother my stomach or my digestion, which is very important.

Right now it is 5:25 p.m. and I am hankering for some beer along with two or three shows that I will watch here on my bedside computer. I do not plan to rise tomorrow morning any earlier than 6:30 a.m. again, so maybe I should even watch a Christmas movie?

I might. I will report back in the latter evening.

🟦🟦🟦

Confessedly I was not entirely in the mood for a Christmas movie, but I went ahead with it anyway because there was so much time for one. I chose 2018's A Christmas in Tennessee.

It had everything I most love about Christmas movies ─ I even liked the leading male character!

I am getting familiar with lead actress Rachel Boston ─ I have watched several of her Christmas movies in recent years. She presents as such a delightful young woman in absolutely every instance ─ I could fall in love with her characters each and every time.

I got over 71 minutes into the movie at this OK.ru link, and then it just crapped out. And so I finished watching it at this CineGo.tv link. However, it cut short right at the finish with no fade out to the credits, so I resorted to this uFLIX.to link just to be certain no part of the movie itself had been cut off.

Probably due to that peppery breakfast late in the morning, I drank a tallboy can (16 ounces) of Cariboo Malt (8% alcohol) during the movie a little quicker than intended, so I also had a very light supper ─ virtually a snack ─ while also watching the feature. And I even had to just watch what remained with no accompaniment at all, though I was tempted to pour a shot of some liquor.

I truly enjoyed this movie, and could easily watch it again in good company come Christmastime.

A Christmas in Tennessee was probably finished by 7:20 p.m., so there was plenty more time for another show ─ even my brother was not yet back from wherever he had bused to engage his social drinking.

So anon I was to tune in The Handmaid's Tale ─ episode six ("Household") of season three. My source was this CineGo.co link.

I managed to make a regular can (355 mls; or 12 ozs) of Cariboo Malt (7.9% alcohol) suffice. The series is certainly a downer. It's popularity rather escapes me.

I topped off my evening with most of a glass tumbler of Domaine D'Or red wine (12% alcohol) and Blue Mountain State ─ episode three ("Pocket Pussy") of the first season. My source was this RidoMovies.tv link.

I take it that the rich girl who paid the lead character for favours was played by actress Sahar Biniaz. How on Earth is it that she has not acted in anything at all since 2013?

My brother got home sometime during The Handmaid's Tale, incidentally.

I've been feeling tired all evening ─ only the shows and the drink kept me going. Even though right now it is only 10:33 p.m. and I do not intend forcing myself to rise tomorrow until 6:30 a.m., I am going to publish this post and start finishing up whatever it is that I have going on here on my computer before restarting it and getting to bed.

I've felt strangely overheated all evening ─ my veins are distended, in fact. Can two or even three heaping tablespoonfuls of ground black pepper consumed in the late morning do this?
