It was just past 7 a.m. this morning when I checked the time and rose for the morning. I had not set my cellphone alarm because it may have been as much as 1:30 a.m. by the time I got to bed last night, but at least I finally got the tax returns for my wife and me completed via the free GenuTax software; and after getting up this morning, I NETFILED them (the NETFILE system shut down last night from midnight till 3 a.m.).
I felt myself able to honourably skip the usual backyard tool shed exercising due to how late I had sat up ─ and without a drop of alcohol, too!
I sure miss my usual evening T.V. shows and the bit of drinking that goes along with them, however. I will be back to it later today!
My younger brother emerged from his bedroom before 8:30 a.m. He was still up last night when I went to bed, so I was unsure if he would be showing himself before 9 a.m.
When I joined him after that hour for some morning T.V. and soon enough got invited to begin operation of our old T95Q Android 9 TV Box, I started us off with a 1½-minute video uploaded earlier today to YouTube's Dallas Brodie channel: Dallas Brodie wonders: when are we done reconciling?
In the BC Legislature rotunda, right underneath the orange T-shirt proclaiming the 215 "dead children" whose existence has never been confirmed, there is a plaque:
"Reconciliation should be like a river, continuous and always making changes."
So according to the BC NDP government, the answer to the question "when are we done reconciling" is never.
This is not a way forward for our province. The reconciliation agenda needs to come to an end.
Next up was a 14-minute (14:34) video uploaded earlier today to YouTube's AnitaK channel: Where’d They Get That Baby? + CBC Whistleblower: My Take as an Insider.
That was followed by a 38-minute (38:18) video published yesterday to Rumble's Canadian Citizens for Charter Rights and Freedoms channel: C3RF "In Hot" interview with JCCF founder John Carpay - March 2026.
Major Russ Cooper (Ret'd) and JCCF founder, John Carpay, discuss a recent secret federal government decision to award land "title" of wide swaths of British Columbia to indigenous first nations. The move puts millions of tax paying BC citizens in a state of confusion and dislocation as they wonder on their claims to their own homes and communities. Have "diversity" and "reconciliation" actually overtaken the promise of fundamental Charter rights and freedoms in Canada? Can such race-based decrees actually be constitutional or should they be declared to be "of no force or effect"?
I next tried to play an episode of Riverdale from season five, but the Stremio app only played the episode for less than three minutes before freezing, and none of its other six or so sources played at all.
And since Google or Android has been uninstalling apps on our device ─ five thus far that I know of in less than a month ─ I now only have three other streaming apps beside Stremio, and none of them were of use. Bee TV, Cinema HD, and FilmPlus had no sources at all.
Thus, I had to pass on the episode. And the consequence of that is that very early tomorrow I am going to either try a reset of the Android TV Box to potentially undo whatever it is that has it set up to uninstall apps each time I accept an update for them, and which is also preventing any installation of any new app that I have thus far attempted since this nonsense has been happening; or I will just set up the Android 14 TV Box I bought through Amazon Canada a couple or so months ago, and straightaway turn off Google Play Protect and whatever else may be involved in these troubles.
I would do this experimentation this afternoon, but of course Bev has the T.V. occupied as she does every day from the time she gets up midday until she goes to bed at night ─ I have no access to the T.V. (and it is mine, for I bought it).
Anyway, my brother and I finished this morning with a badly downloaded ─ or else corrupted ─ documentary that I am not going to bother mentioning, and then got nicely into another which had to be suspended after something like 38 minutes so my brother could return to his bedroom for further bed rest.
He had apparently left for a bus to go social drinking by the time I rose from an early afternoon nap.
The overcast morning was to result in a somewhat sunny afternoon. And as I often do, I had some light exercising in my wife's vacant bedroom.
Now, concerning my income tax refund as calculated by the GenuTax software. Although quite substantial, it is somewhat less than last year's refund, which is a bummer. My wife is getting a larger refund than last year, though. Even so, she will see none of it because of the tax debt she incurred back in 2001 or 2002 when the damned Liberal government was issuing fortunes in COVID-related payments ─ all very great, except none of the 'free' money had income tax withheld, and she's still paying off that tax penalty.
It is presently practically 5 p.m., so I am going to break from blogging to have my day's second meal; and then I shall soon be watching some T.V. shows here on my bedside computer while I have a few drinks. I will update later this evening.
🟩🟩🟩
My first show and can of Cariboo Malt (7.9% alcohol) were done by 6:43 p.m. The show was A Gifted Man ─ episode 13 ("In Case of Complications") of the only season. My source was this MoviesJoyTV.co link.
The episode was exceptionally good for its intense drama; and seldom has an actress in anything I have ever watched looked so damned ugly to me ─ I wanted the woman she was portraying dead. But not only that, the actress's face repelled me so much that I cannot imagine ever wanting to associate with her.
My second beer was enjoyed along with Legacies ─ episode one ("I'll Never Give Up Hope") of season two. Both were done by 7:40 p.m. My source had been this 1Moviesz.to link.
I well observed that actress Kaylee Kaneshiro as Josie physically matured considerably between seasons ─ that face of hers is more womanly and less a pouty child.
It was a good episode, but so far none of the two I had watched touched my tenderer emotional side.
Following the pouring of at least 11 ounces of Three Sisters Fora red 2022 wine (14% alcohol), I tuned in Harlots ─ concluding episode eight of season two. My source was this OK.ru link.
Initially I was displeased that this series was next on my roster, but darned if early into it I was not affected with the emotion missing earlier. It did not endure throughout, but at least it had been present for a time.
And it was grand seeing the mighty falling, and the lowly finding some deserved ascension.
The episode ended by 8:50 p.m., and I still had possibly a couple of ounces of wine remaining in my glass. There could not be much more remaining in the 750-ml bottle that I oped and sampled two evenings ago, by trove!
And so I went for the works with my brother apparently newly home.
I tuned in The 100 ─ finale episode 13 ("The Blood of Sanctum") of season six. Darned exciting initially! I'm rather relieved that they officially killed off the Abby character. She was a bit too warped.
My source for the episode was this CineGo.co link.
And yeah, I drank the last of the wine. Despite two cans of strong beer on both nights of its indulgence, the bottle was gone in two visits. I am in no financial position to be affording this level of solitary alcoholic recreation each evening.
The show and wine were finished by 10:07 p.m., and maybe three minutes later I heard my wife show up.
I am going to stop here and publish this post. I will brush my teeth ere bed. Tomorrow morning I hope to do some shopping at the pharmacy about a half mile from here that opens at 8 a.m. ─ I hate commercial activity on what I perceive as the true Biblical Sabbath, but I need some assistance with my health and God never gives it.
Enough. Right now it is 10:34 p.m., and time for that toothbrush activity.
