It appeared last evening that I was going to be sitting up late with my younger brother, for he arrived home at 8:20 p.m. from wherever he had been drinking, and he seemed in reasonable condition.
However, not 10 minutes into the first episode of a show I tuned in for us via our Android TV Box, he followed up successive bouts of chin-dropping and eye-closing with the final straw ─ some snoring. I killed the episode and turned off the Android TV Box while I switched the T.V. over to its basic cable programming.
My brother became aware again during that process, but he said nothing ─ he knew he had been found out, I expect.
Without an exchanged word with him, I came upstairs and was into my bed by 8:48 p.m. (my wife was shut up in this small room where I kept my computer, so I was unable to spend any final moments here).
But how I was to suffer with almost excruciatingly elusive sleep! It was truly miserable. As I have observed here before, I do believe that eventually a sort of exhaustive state is achieved, and only then does some sleep descend. However, it was a long while in coming.
When thereafter I became aware enough to be curious on the time, a check revealed it to be after 1 a.m. ─ time to rise, for I tend to accomplish most of my online work in the earliest a.m. hours. Notwithstanding, my wife was still shut up in this room, so I went downstairs to dally with our Android TV Box.
She is generally very aware of my ambulations once I rise like this when she is home and still up herself, so in short order she emerged from this room and came downstairs, announcing that she was finished with the room and would be finishing up in our bedroom with the watching of a movie that she had been enjoying on her tablet.
And so my computer was mine to use once more. Anon, I could hear some rain outside betimes. A T.V. weather report I had seen early in the evening had forecast heavy rain in this part of Canada overnight and into the morning, with lighter rain to follow in the afternoon, and then some heavier rain again come the evening today.
I am slowly and steadily constructing the very first post at my new version of my old website Thai-Iceland.com. I do not anticipate finishing and publishing the post until sometime during the final week of this month, but we shall see ─ maybe I will have a few very productive days meantime.
I am unsure now exactly when it was, but I don't believe that I was back to bed until after 5 a.m. And though I was to get to sleep, by little after 8 a.m. I was awake again and checking the time. I lay in a reflective state for a while, and I then rose to again come here to my computer. My brother was apparently quite newly downstairs, for it did not seem that he as yet had turned on the T.V.
I did not join him until around 10 a.m., but he meantime came to me to proffer a cheque of the monthly reconciliation of certain home-related expenses. I leave it to him to calculate what it is that he owes me, but this time he worked it out to be $244.91. Sometimes the cheque is considerably over $300, but whatever the amount, it is always welcome. Even so, I will not be going out to deposit it before the weekend.
Around 9 a.m., I heard my wife's cellphone alarm sounding, and then get turned off. But she never rose. When she did rise around midday, she allowed that she had intended to go to (a Thai Buddhist) temple, but she was just too tired to be getting up.
When I joined my brother at 10 a.m., I had in mind an excellent near hour-long speech or presentation that was given by Lee Merritt, M.D. that I streamed from BitChute.com ─ the video of the speech is titled SARS-CoV-2 and the Rise of Medical Technocracy (various BitChute streaming sources are listed at that link, if the search link remains valid).
I was pleased that my brother sat all the way through the video. I honestly do believe that he may be coming to understand that there is more at play behind the COVID-19 pandemic than most people fathom. The machinations are in fact sinister.
I think that a couple of points she made late into the video resonated with him (I had watched the video a few weeks before, here at my computer). For one, she adeptly presented a slide showing mask-wearing people spaced six feet apart who were all each standing on an individually-designated circle. In showing the image, she poignantly remarked how obedient and unquestioning we have become to authority when there is no scientific proof that face masks nor social distancing are in any way effective at preventing viral infections. But few people research any of this for themselves ─ they blindly believe and follow what they are told by their intellectual betters.
This isn't the image, but it is reasonably similar:
She also showed a related slide of similar people ─ but this time, they were down on all fours in obedience to authority that had declared that the virus only had virulence three feet or more above the ground (again, this is not the actual image):
Most people are so blindly and gullibly stupid that they will obey whatever it is that authorities tell them is their best measure to be safe. Why research and think for themselves? If someone in authority, or who has educational superiority, says something must be so for their best interests ─ after all, "the science is sound" ─ then they will comply. It shouldn't be up to them to have to figure anything out for themselves, should it?
Oh, gosh! It is already after 7 p.m. ─ I have to bring this post to a close for today and clear my way for another likely early evening retirement. My wife had to start work this afternoon, so she left here around 3:30 p.m. for her long drive to the Thai restaurant that employs her part-time.
She won't be back until sometime tomorrow or even Thursday, she said. (Such is our sorry marriage.) But that considerably frees me up to get some work done on my website, I would hope.
If my brother is home this evening by 8:30 p.m. ─ the unspoken deadline that I have for him ─ I will be almost profoundly surprised, for I think that it has been a number of weeks since that last occurred.
