Holy cow! I have just checked my AdSense account and discovered that yesterday it accrued 40¢.
That won't seem like much to many people, but usually when I check my balance, there has been no activity for days at a time ─ not even a cent. So 40¢ is more than I typically earn in an earnings period covering several entire months!
But that's my only good news.
My brother continues to arrive home too late for me to care to wait up and watch T.V. with him ─ I operate our Android TV Box.
Last evening mirrored the evening before ─ he was not home until around 9:10 p.m. from wherever he had been drinking. And since I was upstairs here at my computer, upon hearing him entering the house, I quickly betook myself to bed.
But it was so hot in the bedroom! I lay uncovered, clad only in my undershorts, but sleep was far, far too difficult ─ I could not handle heat like that being my bedtime norm.
It was probably around 1:30 a.m. when I eventually checked the time and then rose to put further work into the post I have on the go at one of my six hosted websites. However, unlike the previous night, I did not get diverted into other involvements (apart from watering the flower garden in the front yard), and so I was back in bed ahead of 5 a.m.
After a little further hard-won sleep, I think I was finished with it by about 8 a.m. There was some impetus in that regard because today's scheduled exercising session was to be out in the backyard toolshed ─ it would probably be impossibly hot by the p.m. in that shed, so I needed to try and rally enough to tackle it while it was yet fairly early in the morning.
As it was to happen, my brother was accommodating in this by not emerging from his bedroom until around 10 a.m. By then, I had finished exercising and was back in the house and changed into my usual clothes.
I had gone out to the shed around 9:30 a.m.
Anyway, that cleared up my day!
Once my brother was downstairs and had the T.V. on, I joined him and put our Android TV Box into action until 1:10 p.m. or so. At that point, he was set for some more bed rest in preparation for his usual departure for the afternoon to eventually end up drinking somewhere.
I wanted to do some sunning, even though the sky was often hazed right over ─ things were a wee bit cooler than they have been through the previous three days. Unfortunately, I dallied longer than I should have.
I was to put in just over 40 minutes sunning my back as I lay prone upon a pad, and then I came into the house for my day's first small meal. I found that my brother had already gone.
It was already the mid-afternoon, yet I decided to seek a nap before sunning my front.
Once I was somewhat restored with the bit of additional sleep, I changed to have that sunning even though it was after 4:30 p.m. by that time.
Alas, I went downstairs only to discover that my eldest stepson was in the backyard 'weed-eating' as preparatory work before mowing the back and then the front lawns. There was to be no sunning of my front today.
But enough of this banal talk.
Since Saturday, my wife has been in Whistler trying to establish herself with some outfit that provides certain services for a hotel there. Exactly what it is that this outfit does, I am unclear.
A friend of hers encouraged her to go for it ─ the friend reportedly works for that outfit, and earns something like $25 an hour.
I want desperately for my wife to get herself recognized for more than just being a Thai restaurant worker ─ she is 47 years old, and has no retirement pension of her own that she is building towards as yet.
I would like to see her become self-sufficient in life, and free me up from feeling responsible for her overall welfare. To be honest, I would like to be free to put an end to myself before too many more years. I am declining rapidly ─ vision, hearing, and so many other functions, at least a couple of which that I do not wish to identify, let alone discuss.
Anyway, I have downloaded some photos from her Facebook account that she has just posted ─ I tripled them in size after downloading them.
I am guessing that she is probably stationed at whatever hotel is behind her in this photo that she took of herself and posted yesterday:
And today, she posted this:
And there is this further sequence at that pool ─ I don't know what it is in the water that has her attention:
I was able to do some research with that very first photo, and the impressive structure beyond my wife is the Fairmont Chateau Whistler. But whether that is where my wife is actually working, or staying, I cannot answer.
Are those two swimming pools part of the Fairmont Chateau Whistler as well? I do not know.
There was something that I had intended to point out, but I now have reconsidered ─ perhaps I will bring it up again once her tenure at Whistler is ended.
I only want to say that it is very unpleasant finding oneself having to live solely out of financial responsibility to a dependant. I long to be free to just...go.
