My younger brother not only got himself home relatively early last evening ─ perhaps no later than 8:30 p.m. ─ but he even held onto consciousness all evening, although late into it he had begun drinking hard liquor instead of beer and was becoming disruptively talkative during the episodes of the final drama (Victoria) and comedy (Cuckoo) that we watched.
My wife had come home around 11:00 p.m. after working the evening at the Thai restaurant that employs her.
When my brother retired for the night, she had occasion to talk to me, and expressed that she would like to find another job and quit the restaurant. However, I am unsure if she feels like quitting for the reason I feel she should ─ namely, that her friends have too much hold on her where soliciting her to party after hours is concerned.
Also, a casino is nearby the restaurant, and my wife has a gambling problem that can take her over if she is drinking.
She withdrew $1,500 of my monthly pension from our chequing account earlier this week and evidently blew it all, and then promised to repay it. Well, last night she gave me $400 in cash, and showed me that she had deposited $1,000 into a "growth account" at a different financial institution that allows for account holders to actually go as much as $1,000 into credit debt on the account just as if it was another credit card.
My wife has consistently done just that with it over the years, depositing a paycheque into the account to eradicate a credit deficit, and then rapidly withdrawing it all in short order.
So really, the $1,000 she deposited is not actually available money ─ it is merely the repayment to the bank that nullifies the credit debt for which they have been steadily phoning and E-mailing me concerning recompense.
In fact, it's actual true balance after the $1,000 deposit is a mere $27.30.
I never answer phone calls from anyone I do not know, and I ignore the bank's E-mails, but they drag me down. I have never used the useless account, and I wish that it did not exist.
My wife gave me the ATM card granting access to the account, so now she cannot just plunge it back into a negative balance again. However, we need the money for the monthly mortgage that will come due as early as the 22nd.
I would have preferred that she had put the money into our chequing account.
I just don't know what to do now.
I had been thinking of trying to put $100 into the "growth account" each month until the credit debt was eradicated, but of course I would have needed my wife to agree to not touch the account any longer. I suppose now that I have the ATM card, at least that status has been achieved.
I abhor credit debt! I just hate that I am going to have to rack it back up in that account so we can try and meet the mortgage payment.
Meantime, prayers and pleas to God for help with my wife and our debt go unanswered.
I am getting an early start on this post ─ right now, it is 9:35 a.m. At the top of the hour I will join my brother downstairs to watch some T.V. for three or so hours, using our T9 Android 8.1 TV Box to access episodes of a few of the T.V. series we follow.
The day is very bright and sunny at this point.
oooooooooooooo
I am going to have to bring this post to a close. With my wife not working today, I just do not have the time for it. At present here in the latter afternoon, she is out performing a few errands or chores, but she will anon be back.
I haven't even been able to have a restorative nap nor engage some exercise. I did try to nap after she had gone out, but just ere I was about to sink into sleep, she began texting me.
And that carried on for a long while. Once she even stopped, but about 15 minutes later started it up again.
It can be most aggravating not having control of one's own life.
However, I need to post quite a few photos before I close for today.
I checked yesterday at Google Photos, but it had no notifications for me. Yet today, it now has one relating to yesterday, so I will lead off with that.
It's a collage Google Photos created from some of the photos that were taken back in 2013 when my wife had gone back to her Thailand home village to visit her mother, other family, and friends:
My wife is actually only in one of those photos ─ the bottom one in the left column where she is standing with British expat (expatriate) Gary Parks.
The only other person I can identify is her old friend Daisha ─ he's at the right in both of the top photos.
Here are all five of those photos as filed in the Google Photos album for that trip:
Google Photos created another collage today from more of the photos taken on that holiday:
That is Daisha again in the bottom left image. However, I am unable to identify the shrine or temple location, apart from saying that it is probably very near Udon Thani city.
These are the five photos from the album that Google Photos used:
As well, Google Photos created this single-photo commemoration using a photo that I apparently took on March 6, 2017:
We still had snow then! Wow. Anyway, I was standing in Holland Park and facing toward Surrey Place / Central City. That location is about a mile from where I live.
Here's the original photo:
And that will do it for today.
