As a consequence of my younger brother's arrival home last evening from wherever he had been drinking, I was to bed by 8:50 p.m. at the latest, and so began a long sleepless vigil.
How much sleep did I actually achieve before he retired to his bedroom for the night at midnight and I was able to rise? It beats me. Maybe a half hour? I honestly don't know.
My wife had gotten home from work before my brother retired, but her youngest son (the 23-year-old) was home for her to socialize with. However, I don't think that she was home until around 11 p.m., so I was up from bed soon enough again.
I remained up until around 5:30 a.m. this morning before returning to bed for a little further sleep. In the while that I was up, I had worked at adding content into the post I have in draft at one of my two hosted websites, and I also created a post in my private blog. Heck, before I returned to bed I even watered the various garden plants in our front yard, for we have not had any rain for a few days, and today was projected to be a sunny one.
I still did not sleep especially well, but when I checked the time between 9:20 - 9:30 a.m., it was late enough ─ I rose to start my day.
My brother was downstairs drinking instant coffee and reading the Saturday morning edition of the Vancouver Sun that I subscribe to, so I waited here at my computer upstairs until after 10 a.m. before I went down to the kitchen to boil water for a black unsweetened instant coffee.
Then i sat quietly in the living room until I knew he was finished with the newspaper, at which point I turned on the T.V. in order to put our Android TV Box to use. I wanted us to watch the latest video by Odessa Orlewicz.
Fortunately, this one is now available at Librti.com, so I will not need to link to it at YouTube where it is in jeopardy of being censored by that latter platform: Simon's Back Part 2- Kristel Van der Elst And More Globalist Parasites After Canadian's Brains (Literallly).
"Simon" is remaining anonymous, and is being interviewed by voice alone from somewhere supposedly in the States, even though he sounds to be a Brit. However, whomever he is, he does seem to have a surprisingly deep understanding of Canadian government websites.
As I seem to recall, the video was around an hour and 20 minutes in duration. My brother and I then watched a short feature; and I followed that brief item with an episode of Supergirl.
I am only slowly working us through season 4, alternating first with an episode of The Flash and then one of Arrow before tuning in an episode of Supergirl. The reason for this is because I knew ahead of time that there was to be a 'crossover' storyline that takes place with episode nine of each series, and the story will unfold in that same sequence across the three series.
As a result, my brother and I have now watched episode eight of each series that were collectively released quite late in 2018 (yes, we are behind in keeping up with these series); and now likely sometime next week, we will start watching the three-part storyline that begins with episode nine of The Flash.
Of course, my brother has no idea that this crossover is about to be featured, so I hope he finds it of interest.
Anyway, with the conclusion of the episode of Supergirl that we watched today, it was something like 12:40 p.m., so my brother decided to break from T.V. and have some rest in his bedroom before leaving for the afternoon to ultimately resume his daily drinking somewhere.
My youngest stepson had to work today, so he left this morning ─ he works 'banking hours'. His older 26-year-old brother took off on his Harley either shortly before or shortly after my brother left us, and so it was the only my wife and I who were then home.
I have missed out on sunning for several days; and since today is projected to be the last opportunity for possibly as much as a week due to cloud prevailing tomorrow and then some rain that will be added into each of the four or so days thereafter (which is as far as the forecast went that I saw), I did not wish to waste that final chance today.
And so at 2:26 p.m. I began over an hour of sunning that finished up no earlier than 3:30 p.m. However, by that point I knew I was home alone, for barely ahead of 3 p.m. my wife drew my attention from beyond the fence that shields our yard from a blocked-off (to cars and trucks) alleyway that is a shortcut from our cul-de-sac to the main avenue nearby. She was on her way to probably catch a bus.
I did not know that she was going to be leaving when she did, so I expect that maybe she had to work again at the Thai restaurant that employs her part-time. Her usual afternoon start is 4 p.m.
Whatever the case, I do not expect that she will be back tonight (such is our sorry marriage).
Following my sunning, I came into the house to fix up my day's first meal. And while I was seated here upstairs at my computer eating, my youngest stepson arrived home.
My days' first meals tend to weigh heavily upon me, usually forcing me to seek a nap, or else I will be too weary to be able to accomplish anything.
My gosh! It is already after 8 p.m. ─ I must close this post here.
