As usual I have no certain recollection of my bed time last evening, but I think it may have been after 11:30 p.m. Whatever the case, I intended a bath first thing this morning and no backyard tool shed exercising, so I set my cellphone alarm for 6:30 a.m. ─ a half hour later than usual.
I believe that the sound of one or more crows led me to realize that dawn had arrived at some earlier point this morning. I rose to use the toilet, and only at returning to my bedroom did I check the time ─ it was only something like 5:38 a.m.
I returned to bed because I felt inadequately recovered from last evening's bit of drinking and the late hour. Notwithstanding, I am unsure now if I was up again just before 6 a.m., or if it was later but still well ahead of my 6:30 a.m. alarm. I am also unsure if I succeeded in achieving another short bout of sleep.
What matters is that I did have my early bath. When I had been up earlier and used the toilet, I first turned on my computer, remembering that it had been set to run a deep registry scan and repair at startup, so I was not tempted to delay my bath by spending any time here at my bedside computer as likely otherwise would have happened.
I knew the scan would be very long, but I don't believe that I recalled that it would exceed three hours, for it did. Thus, my hour-long stay in the bathroom when I had my bath was still an insufficient passage of time for me to bide any in occupation on my computer, so I hobbled downstairs and briefly used my laptop, and then I turned on the T.V. and checked a few things on the R69 Plus Android 14 TV Box.
I also gathered together a breakfast that I indulged in.
It was a little after 8 a.m. when I hobbled back upstairs to my bedroom, but the scan was still going on, so I opted to return to bed fully clothed and bide time until I heard my younger brother emerge from his bedroom ─ which he did soon enough. By then, though, the scan was still running, and I saw no purpose in leaving my bed because I had no interest in waiting out my brother's essential early morning news shows programming as would happen if I joined him before at least 9:10 a.m.
My awareness lapsed briefly, and a time check revealed that it was around 9 a.m. and I had weak recollection of a dream, so I realized that I must have succumbed to a bit of sleep. I rose, and still the scan claimed to have another quarter hour or so to run, so I joined my brother.
Around 9:15 a.m. he turned the T.V. over to me, so I switched over to the Android TV Box that I had not turned off, for I had already lined up something for us to watch. At over 1¼ hours (1:17:45), it had been streamed yesterday to YouTube's AnitaK channel: Professor Pranked by the CBC! My stream featuring academic, Jim McMurtry.
Frances Widdowson' s harrowing experience by TV pranksters.
We were to watch just one more show ─ Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and specifically episode five ("Chapter Thirty-Three: Deus Ex Machina") of season four.
I see no sense in claiming there to be two seasons, each divided into two parts as is shown on Wikipedia. I prefer IMDB's classification.
My brother returned to his bedroom following the episode, and I was back to bed for my nap just ahead of 12:30 p.m.
The day has had a little sunshine, but mostly there have been masses of cloud, with quite a chilly strong breeze that forced me to close my bedroom window. When I had my mid-afternoon half-hour light exercise session in my wife's vacant bedroom, her open window had the room very uncomfortable for me initially.
And since I was not fully certain that she might show up like she did last Thursday, I waited until after 3 p.m. before using her bedroom.
Right now it is 5:16 p.m. Earlier I had notions of phoning Sandy, my late old friend William's ladyfriend, but doing so now would consume far too much time. Instead I am going to start watching my usual three T.V. shows here on my bedside computer and having a few drinks, and I will finish and publish this post in the latter evening.

Along with a can of Cariboo Malt (7.9% alcohol), first up was Sight Unseen ─ episode three ("Chain Reaction") of the second season. My source was at M4uFree.cx.
It was entertainingly dramatic enough, though as implausible as it often is. And it was over by 6:16 p.m.
My next can of beer was devoted to The Handmaid's Tale ─ episode nine ("Progress") of season four. I used GOOJARA.to as my source.
Yes, it was dramatically interesting enough, and quite late into the episode my eyes even burned with some emotion when June and Nick kissed long and sincerely hard ─ but that was due to transference, for I miss having that intimacy with my wife. I don't know how long this part of our marriage has been over, but it definitely exceeds 13 years. So I cannot say that The Handmaid's Tale evoked the response ─ remembrance of my own situation did. I just prefer not dwelling on it.
The show was done by 7:34 p.m., and it was evident that my brother had only recently gotten home from wherever he had bused in the early afternoon to social drink.
I have some inclination to pay a visit overnight to the elementary school playground that is maybe a round trip hobble of ¾ of a mile, but that will entail rising at 3 a.m. Thus, if I am serious about this, I cannot sit up anything like late this evening.
My third and final show was accompanied with a glass of at least a dozen ounces of Domaine d'Or red wine (12% alcohol). The show was The Guardian ─ episode 18 ("My Aim Is True") of season two. My selected source was at M4uFree.cx for the second time this evening.
I am unsure of where they are going with the brain injured Lulu ("Louise") and Nick Fallin angle ─ why is she suddenly rather distancing herself from deeper involvement with him since her awakening after the car mishap?
A lot going on in this episode! I referred to the IMDb icon photos of the cast in this episode, and no one is visually familiar. Since I do not remember the various characters' names, I cannot identify who was who in the darned episode ─ it is now 23 years later, and the cast members have aged considerably, so the guest actors playing the characters are no longer recognizable from those tiny headshots.
We need broader episode write-ups.
But whatever, the episode was done by 8:44 p.m.
I still must brush my teeth before going to bed. I am unsure earlier, but I almost thought that it might have been lightly raining when I peered through the screen of the slightly open bathroom window as I passed water. Will I have a wet time of it if I spoil my sleep by rising at 3 a.m. to visit the playground?
Enough blogging for today. It is 9:15 p.m. as I publish this post.
