Right now it is 4 a.m., and I will be retiring again soon after I make these few notes.
In yesterday's post, I had declared that I meant to work overnight on the tax returns for my wife and I. Well, that never happened. Although I rose at 12:48 a.m. following a latter evening nap, I became embroiled in replying to an E-mail that consumed far more time than I expected.
Thereafter, I had to make a post in my private blog.
And now here I am ─ my eyes are too worn out for any tax return preparation. I think instead that I will sacrifice the time that I would normally spend when I create a post in this blog during my afternoons, and use that time to work on those tax returns.
So we shall see.
Well, although I did print out two charitable donation receipts and two Digital News Subscription Tax Credit receipts that I will need for the two tax returns ─ and I also got the various receipts and slips rounded up and in some sort of order ─ I never began any actual draft work on the two tax returns.
I looked a little into filing online for a change, and I have read that it can be done for free and is a simpler process than perhaps in previous years. As well, I read a claim that refunds can occur through this method in as little as two weeks.
Consequently, I am going to bank on that being true! And tomorrow, I hope that I can begin that draft accounting of the paper copies of the tax returns, and I will thenceforth focus on getting both tax returns finalized.
After that ─ even if it takes me a week to complete the finalization of the paper copies ─ I will then investigate accessing the essential software that are supposed to make it possible to file online. I located a list of the free software at this Canada.ca webpage: File your taxes online: Certified tax software.
I am definitely not interested in any that are in a "Mobile app" (application) format. And although I was leaning toward "Online" platforms, I might just instead take a strong look at the solitary "Desktop" platform that was listed.
Anyway, that's where things stand thus far.
As for this morning, I probably was back to bed no later than 4:30 a.m., and I slept unexpectedly well once I got to sleep. I was never awake enough to be checking the time until around 8:30 a.m., and even then I felt that I could have managed to drop back off into some further sleep.
Nevertheless, after a few minutes I fought off the inclination, and then rose and dressed.
My brother was downstairs watching T.V., but I remained upstairs here at my computer until the approach of 10 a.m., and then I went downstairs to boil water for a black instant coffee and to join my brother watching T.V.
I quickly put our Android TV Box to use and located the latest Odessa Orlewicz video that is titled Taking The Child Abuse Masks Off Our Children -Action Needed From All. It was just about an hour long; but to my delight, an unheralded guest who would be interviewed was Tanya Gaw who is prominently behind the website Action4Canada.com.
I adore this woman! And as I expressed to my brother, I was so taken with the episode that I regretted not having a school-aged child so that I could get involved in the actions being described.
Sometimes I wish that I qualified for a face mask medical exemption so that I could boldly enter stores unmasked. I most definitely would! But instead, I always don one in order to do my shopping.
Yes, I know that I could always claim that I am medically exempt; but I would be outright lying, and doing so would deprive me of an essential sense of legitimacy and weaken my ability to stand strong.
It would in effect rob me of the ability to mount an effective fight.
However, if I truly was medically exempt, I would be fearless and righteous and courageously do battle.
I hate subterfuge and dissembling ─ I would be weakened by engaging in it and trying to claim I am medically exempt when I am not.
It is 7:30 p.m. right now, and my wife has unexpectedly arrived home not 15 minutes ago, so I am going to have to bring this post to a close.
One other thing I did this day was post a YouTube video of me modelling the two sleeveless hoodies that comprised the order from AliExpress that I have been mentioning in recent posts.
The video is only a minute and 38 seconds long, so here it is ─ I included beneath it the description that I gave it at YouTube:
Amen there!
Two final things, beginning with my first talk with my eldest stepson since he began working after about a year of unemployment ─ he started his new job on Monday of last week.
To my pleasant surprise, he claimed to me to be liking the work and the working environment. My brother last week said to me that he believed this new employer was Tree Island Steel, but I never thought to confirm with my brawny stepson.
The second and final thing I wanted to mention was how sunny the afternoon was today. I could have benefitted from sitting outside in the sunshine in the backyard, but I just did not have the time.
