My evening is already underway, so I will be rushing this post.
I must say first that I am most disappointed with myself for not sunning yesterday. Naturally, today was overcast ─ the first such day in a few weeks. I did see a little Sun a few times in the afternoon, but it was short-lived. And this morning towards 10 a.m., we even had a wee bit of rain ─ it seems to me that there has been no rain since perhaps May.
My wife was home overnight, but I still rose during the midnight hour before she had yet retired, and began my several hours working here at my computer. My eldest stepson was still up, and remained up until after dawn.
I now forget just when I got back to bed, but it was definitely after 6 a.m.
My wife's cellphone's alarm sounded at 9 a.m., so I slept no more. I thought that she might have to work at her friend's Thai restaurant where she is employed part-time, but I was to later learn that she instead rose to prepare some food and then herself, and left on the drive to Burnaby to pay a visit with the Thai Buddhist monks at Wat Budhapanyanantarama.
That is their Facebook account that I linked to, for I do not believe that they have a website.
I have just now noticed that they posted a few photos of whatever event it was that my wife attended, and I have downloaded three of them that include her:
My wife is the woman in the central photo 'making merit' to one of the monks by offering items such as food and other things that they can use on a daily basis.
In her absence fairly early in the afternoon, I sought a nap while my younger brother was doing the same following some T.V.-watching that we did together; he was gone for the afternoon when I emerged from my bedroom.
I am fortunate to have napped when I did, for I did not expect my wife to be showing up around the mid-afternoon. I did not gain as much of a nap as I sorely needed, but it was sufficient to later help me tackle the day's scheduled workout in the backyard toolshed.
Usually it is oppressively hot in there, but this afternoon it was actually cool ─ at least, it seemed so by comparison to the temperatures outside of the shed.
I found myself to be feeling stronger than usual. Heck, I think that I even managed to achieve one more rep in the total tally of the six sets of pull-ups and chin-ups portion of the exercises than I have managed to attain so far this year.
My wife was to leave us (both of her sons were home) quite late in the afternoon, and I do not expect her back until probably Monday ─ she spends most of her weekends somewhere in Vancouver.
A small meal that I had eaten just before her departure was oppressing me, so upon her absence I once more sought a lie-down. However, the realization soon struck me that it was nearly the evening, and I still had not had my scheduled bath (I bathe once every four days).
I knew that it would serve to revitalize me, even though at the time I wanted to have a nap. But if I napped, then there would be scant likelihood that I would manage to get to sleep after I get to bed in the latter evening. I have a very early grocery shopping expedition planned, so I need to try to sleep as well as I can overnight. I do not drive, and the hike is a round trip of 5.625 miles as the car drives (to be distinct from the phrase 'as the crow flies').
Before I put this post to bed for the day, I want to quote most of an E-mail that I received yesterday from Member of Parliament, Derek Sloane:
I’m on an Alberta road trip meeting this week meeting with and speaking to so many freedom-loving Canadians. They are coming out in huge numbers to discuss the future of Alberta and of Canada.
You may have heard that I dropped some interesting news during my stop in the Calgary area on Sunday:

It’s all true!YouTube: Calgary, Alberta Event with Derek Sloan
I am starting a new political party.
I can’t tell you too much about the specifics right now, I can’t even tell you the name of the party, because while we have applied to Elections Canada, none of it is official until Elections Canada approves it.
What I can tell you is that as I told the crowd in Calgary, we are going to light a fire.
We’ve been hearing from Canadians of all backgrounds, all walks of life, and even all political parties, who feel betrayed by Canada’s current political culture.
That’s why we’re going to build the biggest patriotic movement that Canada has ever seen! For liberty-loving Canadians who want better, and who deserve better, than they’ve been getting for themselves, for their children, and for their country.Our movement will ensure that there’s a candidate worth voting for in as many ridings as possible across Canada.
This will be a party that’s authentically of the people, and because of that we’ll need your support in every way.
You can start by sharing this email with as many of your friends and family as possible, and spreading the news
Ask them to sign up at my website www.dereksloan.ca/join.
We are living in a time of historical importance for Canada, and together we are going to make Canadian history by standing up for freedom and a future that all Canadians can be proud of.
I would be so honoured if you can join me in this new endeavour.
God Bless You and God Bless Canada!
Yes, it's a great deal of hype, but thus far he is my first choice in any federal election.
As a second choice, I can only go for Maxime Bernier at this point, but I do not at all appreciate that he backs the ridiculous COVID 'vaccines'. Consequently, he is a distant second choice.
Okay, I have a can of Cariboo Malt (8% alcohol) chilling, so I am going to go downstairs and enjoy that along with a little T.V. before having a light supper.
