Although my younger brother was not yet home when I sought some sleep yesterday in the latter evening, it was likely somewhere around 9:15 p.m., and I was feeling weary enough. However, as too often happens, sleep proved elusive for a long while. Perhaps I had some unrecognized anxiety about my wife coming home from work and disrupting my peace.
That was not to occur, and ultimately I did find some slumber. I remember once checking the time around 11 p.m., though, and finding that quite discouraging.
The next time I checked the time, I was almost shocked to find that it was something like 1:17 a.m., so I quickly rose to use the bathroom and get to work here at my computer. But I had another shock ─ my younger brother was still downstairs watching T.V. and undoubtedly drinking. Usually, when he is up this late, it is due to him having graduated from beer to hard liquor, and / or passing out earlier and thereby gaining something of a 'second wind'.
I used the bathroom, but returned to my bedroom, uncertain how to proceed. I needed to get to work at my computer, or I was facing not being able to do all that I wished to accomplish overnight in the next few hours.
As I debated with myself and was about to come here to my computer despite him still being up, I saw him rise from his favourite chair, so I retreated back into my bedroom. It was as I hoped ─ he was finally set to begin readying to call it a night and to come upstairs to his bedroom.
And after he did, I was free to emerge from my bedroom and come here to my computer which I keep in a small room next to my bedroom.
I saw, though, that my youngest stepson was still up ─ it could only be him, for his older brother has a graveyard shift this week and would not be home.
I got to work, and eventually the lad shut off the downstairs lights and obviously went to bed. Then around 4 a.m., I heard what could only be my wife finally home as she fumbled at unlocking the front door.
We didn't speak too much; and she was probably to bed a half hour or so later.
I finished the work I wanted to get done here at my computer, but I still had to water the plants in the front yard (which I do every second day in this sunny and dry weather).
By the time I returned to bed, it was perhaps 6:15 a.m.
I anticipated that the sheet I cover up with for my naps would prove inadequate with the cool night fully in force, so I retired fully clothed beneath that sheet.
I suppose that I must have slipped out of full consciousness, but soon I found myself too unpleasantly cool to easily sleep. This was perplexing, since I was clothed.
There was a heavy blanket piled next to my side of the bed, so I resorted to it, pulling it up over me. And eventually, I was comfortable enough to find further and peaceful sleep. In fact, I never checked the time again until something like 10:10 a.m. ─ I had overslept, for I normally join my younger brother around 10 a.m. to put our Android TV Box into action to watch some shows together.
I found that although he had the CBC news channel on, he was at the dining table reading the local free Surrey Now-Leader's latest edition. I boiled water for a black instant coffee, and then I used our Android TV Box to locate Odessa Orlewicz's latest video: July 21-I Interview Ted Kuntz & Tanya Gaw About The Updates & True Facts About Their Lawsuits.
The video was an hour long, and made me wish that I had some degree of wealth ─ I would love to be able to heavily donate to those lawsuits each of Odessa's guests is championing.
Tanya Gaw is with Action4Canada.com; Ted Kuntz is with VaccineChoiceCanada.com.
On a related note, I was later to look through the Surrey Leader-Now, and I came across an absolutely disgustingly ignorant editorial: Anti-vaxxer rhetoric flies in the face of modern medicine.
The nitwit authour is abysmally clueless. Most of us are not anti-vaccine. Rather, we are 'anti-COVID experimental gene therapy'. The toxic injection is NOT a 'vaccine'. If the woman would just do some research, she would learn that the 'vaccines' are killing and disabling more people than COVID could possibly harm.
Her thinking is so feebly limited and superficial that she is not even worthy speaking to. She is comfortable with her ignorance, and shields herself with it. It is doubtful that she could ever be reasoned with.
She will have to figure it out for herself, for people like her will fight to avoid having ever to admit that they are wrong.
And does she not even know how ludicrous her airplane analogy is? Hell, airline pilots are dying from mandated COVID 'vaccinations'. Sooner or later, one of these pilots is going to suffer a collapse while flying an airliner, so let's all hope that the co-pilot is alert and healthy and fully capable of flying the aircraft.
Enough! Articles like that sample of simplistic nonsense enrage me, so I must get off the topic.
One other show of note that my brother and I were to watch was Line of Duty ─ specifically, season six's finale episode. As yet, it is not known if that episode is also the series finale. I sure hope not. My brother and I have watched every episode and have grown strongly attached to the three main characters.
The afternoon proved to be another sunny one. My wife never rose until after my brother had gotten his rest upon seeking his bedroom around 1 p.m. following Line of Duty and then had left for the afternoon to resume his daily drinking somewhere.
I wanted to get in some sunning; so after some exercise, at 2:49 p.m. I began over an hour of it out in the backyard while attired in just my swimming trunks. When I came back into the house, I found that my wife had gone. I have no idea if she had another partial day of work (her partial workdays begin at 4 p.m.) at the Thai restaurant where she is employed part-time; or if she is just off somewhere socializing.
Whatever the case, I was able to have my day's first reasonably-sized meal, and then I had a very short nap.
Upon rising, I soon got to work on this blog post.
At the present, it is is just after 7 p.m., so I am going to put an end to this post right here and go and have a can of Cariboo Malt (8% alcohol) and watch some television via our Android TV Box.
