Although I never mentioned it until now, late in the afternoon / early evening two days ago (i.e., Sunday), I allowed my addiction to take hold of me. But somehow just as I was about to plunge into the full abyss, I broke its grip and re-sorted myself.
Such a close call.
Anyway, last evening I was to bed early. My younger brother was still not home from wherever he was drinking, So I was to bed by almost 9:15 p.m.
After finding sleep, I surprised myself considerably by not making a time check until around 2:40 a.m. ─ I must have been mainly asleep during that long while, which is quite an unusual thing for me.
I clearly required the sleep, as my despondent past couple or more posts have displayed. Today, I felt considerably more controlled emotionally.
I did rise at 2:40 a.m. to get to work on the post I am trying to complete at one of my six hosted websites; and it was well past 5 a.m. before I was back to bed.
I acquired a little further sleep before rising anew considerably ahead of 9 a.m., and at 10 a.m. I joined my brother at the T.V. to put our Android TV Box into operation ─ I had a rather interesting documentary for us that I tuned in via the YouTube 'app' that I have downloaded into that device.
The documentary was nearly 40 minutes in duration, but definitely interesting: The Life and Death of Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer.
I am left wondering why it was that "Alfie's" friend Jack Piott did not pursue attempted murder charges of himself against "Bud" Stiltz after that latter put a bullet into Alfalfa?
Supposedly, Bud was going to plug Jack as well, and had him begging for his life; but Bud's wife interceded and probably saved Jack's life.
So again, why did he never pipe up in the aftermath ─ nor in the years thereafter ─ it that's what really happened?
I wish I knew.
My brother sought his bed rest around 12:45 p.m. today as a prelude to taking off for the afternoon to eventually resume his drinking somewhere.
I was to get in two sessions of something over 40 minutes each in the sunning of my front and then my back ─ these were separated by my day's first smallish meal. My brother was already readying himself for his departure when I came into the house after the first sunning session.
I had been drowsy while I was watching T.V. earlier with my brother, and it seemed unlikely that I could handle any sunning without my own nap. However, somehow I got through that sleepy phase.
I did have to lie down for awhile in the latter afternoon before daring some scheduled exercising here in the house, but I never truly had a nap.
By the way, my wife ─ who has been away to Whistler since two Saturdays ago to purportedly try her hand at a new line of work ─ texted me just after 5 p.m. this afternoon to say that she would finally be home tomorrow.
I really should place an order of a few items with Amazon Canada while I still have the pension money in my banking account, or my opportunity may well be lost once she's back home. But it's already after 6:30 p.m. as I type these words, and I want to have a bath.
And I need to be all set to hightail myself to bed if my brother shows up after 8:30 p.m. ─ the unspoken deadline that I have for him. As a result, I just do not have the time right at this moment to research and decide just what products to order.
I had best call a halt to this post for today.
