It seems to me that I was not to bed last evening until a little past 11:30 p.m. ─ for some reason, 11:33 p.m. pops into view. Is that possible? I do remember thinking that maybe setting my cellphone alarm for 6 a.m. might be a little unkind to myself.
Whatever the case, a point arrived this morning when I was aware that it was getting light outside. I didn't then check the time ─ I merely tried for further sleep. But urinary urgency was building too much, and finally I relented and rose to visit the toilet. At returning to bed, I checked and saw that it was either 5:25 or 5:35 a.m.
I lay in bed enjoying the comfort, but ultimately when I was only passing the minutes and not seeming any nearer sleep, I checked the time once more and saw that it was 5:45 a.m. There was no way that I was going to fall into sleep within 15 minutes before my alarm; but even if I did achieve such a feat, how cruel would that be to deliberately have timed myself to be pulled from it by my alarm's chiming?
So I rose for the morning.
After putting a kettle of water on the kitchen stove to slow-boil, I went out front and watered the garden areas ─ a half hour job.
My wife's car was of course in the driveway, for it was her arrival home late last evening that spurred me to shut down and get myself to bed in order to avoid any further delay through interaction with her. She had directly gone to the kitchen area, and not yet come upstairs. By the time she did come upstairs, I was to bed in my darkened bedroom.
Anyway, after watering the front garden areas, I fixed up my mug of instant coffee with the works and brought it upstairs here to my bedside computer to wash down an aspirin and then to enjoy as I passed time.
I never went out to the backyard tool shed for my 15 minutes of exercising there until after 7:50 a.m., and even then I lost a little time because my body rebelled each time I attempted to do my first pull-up ─ my structures felt terribly over-strained.
I almost opted to forsake the six sets of pull-ups and chin-ups, but then I decided to do half of the squat work that I hope benefits my damaged knee / quadriceps region. This involves sufficient overall body straining that it did serve to rather limber up my upper torso region and I was able to endure two pull-ups on one of the thick sides of the child's slide ladder that is spread across some rafters and is my only available means for pull-ups and chin-ups. The ensuing five sets, however, only contained a single repetition in each, and I held the dead hang of the final pull-up (performed between the ladder's two sides) for a half minute or so.
Then I finished off the squat work.
By the time I was back into the house this sunny morning to gather up my day's first meal, my younger brother was already watching his T.V. news show and drinking his first cup of instant coffee.
I ate my meal here at my bedside computer, then maybe 8:55 a.m. hobbled back downstairs to join my brother, successfully gambling that by 9 a.m. he would opt to turn the T.V. over to me so that I could turn on our R69 Plus Android 14 TV Box.
I started us off with a 17½-minute (17:27) video uploaded earlier today to YouTube's Moose on the Loose channel: Something Massive Just Happened in Canadian Politics.
The video was devoted in exultant fashion to Kerry-Lynne Findlay's barely successful win of the B.C. Conservative Party leadership race, even though I think that the Moose on the Loose host lives in Ontario.
And now I take that back ─ I just researched and have discovered that he ─ David Simieritsch ─ lives in the Port Alberni area on Vancouver Island. No wonder this win meant so much to him!
I completely forgot that much earlier this morning I had two videos I wanted to watch after Moose on the Loose. Instead, I tuned in a near 1½-hour (1:28:28) video published May 28 to Rumble's Candace Owens channel: Candace Owens x Ana Kasparian.
Ana Kasparian joins me to discuss the courage it takes to publicly change your views and why more Americans on both the left and right are rejecting endless war and demanding honesty from our leaders. Follow Ana on her Substack at https://kasparian.substack.com.
I failed to realize before the video was well over half finished that I had planned on watching something else, by which point there was too little time left for something else because I also wanted to watch material I had previously downloaded onto a USB drive.
I was surprised that my brother never complained about being bored with the two gals talking, but maybe their topics were sufficiently interesting to him at times.
When the video was done and I then switched over to our R95Q Android 9 TV Box where the USB is inserted, we only got half way through a 32-minute video from YouTube's Talasbuan channel before my brother announced he was returning to his bedroom for further bed rest, so I reckon we will finish watching it tomorrow morning.
I was actually back to bed for my nap just ahead of 11:45 a.m.
My wife had another full workday today at the Thai restaurant where she is employed part-time, and she emerged from her bedroom this morning just ahead of 9:30 a.m., I believe. After she showered and otherwise readied, she had no difficulty getting away by 10 a.m.
I got in about 1½ hours of afternoon sunning, commencing just after 2:30 p.m. The sky was hazing over a little towards the end. After that, with my wife away, I took advantage of her vacant bedroom and had most of my usual light exercise session ─ so maybe 25 minutes, then?
My day's second and final meal followed that.
Right now it is 5:43 p.m., so I am going to take my blogging break to allow me some T.V. shows here on my bedside computer, along with a little drinking. I shall finish up this post well into the evening.

With a can of Cariboo Malt (7.9% alcohol) at hand, I tuned in The Crow: Stairway to Heaven ─ episode five ("Voices") of the one and only season. My source was published June 1, 2022, to BitChute's WizardChrisGaylord's channel: The CROW (Stairway to Heaven) - Ep. 05 - Voices.
The episode became unexpectedly emotional for me late into it. I rather liked the Jesse lad, played by actor Brendan Fletcher ─ who has a startlingly lengthy list of acting gigs.
Anyway, the episode was done by 6:42 p.m.
I decided next to pour a dozen or so ounces of Domaine d'Or red wine (12% alcohol) into a glass tumbler to enjoy with Ragnarok ─ episode five ("Atomic Number 48") of the first season. I am truly enjoying this series. And even though I was never touched emotionally in this episode, I still will rate it well ahead of The Crow: Stairway to Heaven.
My source was at this BiliBili.tv link ─ all of the episodes may well be at BiliBili.tv.
Wikipedia's description of the episode is off the mark. The episode ended with our young hero discovering the seeming rows of barrels of corrosive toxic waste in a glacier-covered cave, yet the Wikipedia write-up claims that somehow it is determined that there are 2,500 of these rusting barrels; and that the lad runs and reports them to the cops, the cops notify the corporation that then removes them all, and when an official police visitation is enacted, there are no barrels present. This is all bogus ─ none of that happened in the episode.
I stupidly neglected to note when the episode concluded, but it may have been around 8:08 p.m. And maybe four minutes later, my brother arrived home from wherever he had been social drinking when he left here before 2:30 p.m. to catch a bus to take him to engage that daily essential activity.
My entertainment finished up with a second and final beer while enjoying an especially good episode of FBI ─ episode five ("Falsetto") of season eight. This time my source was at M4uFree.cx.
This was thoroughly enjoyable, especially since I was nearly certain that the evil Saudi prince was going to get away with his perverse crimes. The outcome was too good to be true.
It made my second placed spot this evening ─ Ragnarok was still first, and The Crow: Stairway to Heaven last.
And the episode was done by 9:25 p.m.
I am going to cease blogging for today and publish this post, for I still have to brush my teeth and then slowly finish up a number of things I have left undone on this computer. Maybe I can be to bed before 11 p.m., since right now it is 9:54 p.m.
