My wife left us last evening, possibly before it was yet 8:30 p.m., and saying that she would be back sometime today.
This is nothing atypical (such is our sorry marriage), so I didn't even deign to enquire where it was that she was going. There was actually a positive to this departure of hers ─ I would be able to have a latter evening nap that would be undisturbed. And when I later rose during the midnight hour to get some work done here at my computer, I would be able to return to bed ahead of dawn and similarly not have what sleep was available to me disrupted by her unintentional thrashing about.
My brother had bused away that afternoon to join one or two drinking buddies of his at a pub, so I knew he was unlikely to be back home until after 9 p.m. However, since I would be unable to see him actually arriving home if I was downstairs watching any T.V. in the living room, I ensured that I was upstairs here at my computer and able to quickly hie myself to bed as soon as I did hear him come into the house.
I no longer watch evening T.V. with him. Instead, I spend the latter half of the evening lying in bed doing my best to nap as I wait for him to retire to his own bedroom for the night. This allows me to spend the earliest a.m. hours here at my computer overnight working in peace.
In the instance of last night, I did not achieve quite as much as I could have, for I broke off shortly after 3 a.m. to begin readying for a small hike ─ a round trip venture of maybe two miles to the outdoor ATM at the Coast Capital Savings Federal Credit Union headquarters building (Google Map) over by the King George SkyTrain Station.
I may have left here at 3:30 a.m. at latest, and was back soon after 4 a.m., for some unaccustomed jogging proved of considerable benefit ─ it was colder out there than I fully anticipated. In fact, a slight breeze was so additionally frigid that I very soon began having concerns for my exposed ears, for I did not wear a head covering.
A Google Search had revealed that it was supposedly -4º C (24.8º F) here in Surrey, but it seemed much colder. I never even considered making a stop at an elementary school's playground where I have sometimes done some nocturnal sets of pull-ups on the gym-style rings that are available there. The notion of gripping those frigid rings with my relatively thinly gloved hands was far too unappealing.
When I first left the house, I had initial uneasiness about being out like that at night, for I am 71 years old and unable to run like once I could if faced with an outnumbering threat. However, with conditions as cold as they were, there was little question that any unsavoury types were not out there lurking about in the wretched freeze.
My purpose was to deposit a $270.78 cheque my brother had given me last week to reconcile monthly expenses that we have in common. I had meant to deposit it this past Sunday morning while I was on my way to do some very early grocery shopping, but I forgot about it until I had trekked maybe three-quarters or more of a block away from that ATM location.
Time was of the absolute essence where the grocery shopping was concerned, so I did not have any to waste in doing any backtracking.
And so I made amends early this a.m.
But I got the job done ─ something I would not have been able to take the time to do if my wife was here at home and in bed. I needed full assurance that when I was back home and had later returned to bed, I would not have any of her impediments to total bedtime relaxation. I do not easily fall into sleep. Consequently, her frequent nighttime antics of tossing about and making wordless exclamations ─ and even of getting up for one reason or another to fuss about ─ are anathema to a bedmate's rest and peace.
Incidentally, today it never did rise above freezing out there. And tonight, Google Search claims that a low of -8º C (17.6º F) is projected for Surrey.
I definitely chose the better night for that errand (I do not drive, so I had to walk).
Anyway, it had to have been at least 5 a.m. by the time I made my return to bed. And although I slept undisturbed, I was awake again and rose shortly before 9 a.m. My brother was already downstairs watching T.V. and drinking coffee.
I remained upstairs here at my computer until the approach of 10 a.m. before going downstairs to prepare my own instant (black and unsweetened) coffee, and then I soon had our Android TV Box in operation. I had seen last evening that Odessa Orlewicz had livestreamed yet another YouTube video ─ it was her second consecutive day of doing so; so now for the second consecutive morning, I would be tuning in that latest episode.
This one was titled Become Educated & Learn Your Rights With Stand4Thee, and can be found at Odessa's YouTube account Liberty Talk With Odessa. She is badly lagging behind in getting these videos uploaded to her BitChute account libertytalkcanada.
As she announced early into that video, she and her husband Norbert will soon ─ by the weekend, I believe ─ have a brand new website for her to use, since YouTube and her Facebook account are both vulnerable to censorship and outright banning.
Incidentally, I am a member of another website the couple are largely responsible for getting online ─ Librti.com.
Odessa claimed that she would be livestreaming yet another video today. If so, then I reckon my brother and I will be watching that one tomorrow morning. But these daily videos are hampering me from playing a number of assorted videos that I have downloaded into a flash drive for use with our Android TV Box, thus enabling my brother and I to watch them on T.V. Since I cannot expect him to be in any shape to watch anything in the evening, I am left with just the three hours of the early day beginning from 10 a.m.
And since we also watch T.V. series in common, I have no desire to use up all of that time watching nothing but videos related to the Great Reset, and the COVID-19 plandemic / scamdemic. As a result, this morning after watching Odessa's latest offering, my brother and I watched an episode each of Supergirl and The Good Karma Hospital.
So three consecutive days of Odessa's videos is getting to be a little too exclusive where our viewing of this specific subject matter is concerned. Nevertheless, I am glad to have seen that latest effort, for now I am aware of the websites Stand4Thee and the COVID-19 material at Good Food UnEarthed detailing how we can best understand where we stand legally in all of this dictatorial nonsense at the provincial and federal levels, and how we can defy these illegal measures being taken against us by the cowardly police who are in servile obedience to our Orwellian political leaders.
Oh Lord, it is already after 7 p.m., and I have some exercising to do before I have a wee bit of supper and thus clear away my evening for a fast escape to bed once my brother shows up from wherever he went to drink this afternoon.
So with that said, I must halt this post here.
