Reclaiming my time 

Phrase used in congressional hearings when politicians are allotted a specific amount of time to speak and/or question those called to testify at such hearings. If during their allotted time they deem a person who is testifying to be lying, misleading, or drawing out the time by not answering the questions directly, the congressperson may reclaim their time. This is allowed within the United States House of Representatives rules and procedures. Most often attributed to Congresswoman Rep. Maxine Waters (Democrat, California) from a hearing in 2017 when she was questioning Secretary of Finance Steven Mnuchin.
"I'm reclaiming my time...Please, will you respond to the question of why I did not get a response, me and my colleagues, to the May 23rd letter?" ~ Maxine Waters

Reclaiming my time 

When people are on your time but wasting it!
Maxine: Are you familiar with the May 23rd letter that I sent
Munchkin: Thank you for having me here, you're such a beautifu-
Maxine: RECLAIMING MY TIME. -- Answer the question, hoe.
Realming is the act of doing aimless things in your hometown area. The act of realming is comforting to those who do it as it puts them in contact with all things they know. Not to be confused with roaming, realming is moving purposefully about the area where one grew up and/or is most comfortable. Realm can be many parts of speech.
On Saturday, Nigel realmed to the Vanilla Bean.

There he realmed with Brian, whereupon he proceeded to 85 Main and realmed with James.

Nigel enjoys realming northeast Connecticut.

In terms of Nigel's realm, it extends from the mighty Quinebaug in the east, through the plains of Pomfret, into the hills of Eastford and terminates at the edge of the Tolland Plateau. From North to south, Nigel can realm from the canyons of Union to the confluence of the Qunebaug and Shetucket, headwaters of the turbulent Thames.

When your feeling really introspective or high and you start saying mad philosophical nonsense.
"I got really high and watched Enter The Void and I started realming."
"Sometimes I feel like I was born backwards. God I'm so realmed."
