Wednesday Post 174

Good afternoon! Firstly, MERRY CHRISTMAS, everyone! Secondly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's 'Nothing to Give?'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Wise Men Still Seek Him (3) and fourthly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2117 steps, which D2 proudly states also equals forty-seven kcal or 880m. XD Anyways, events for today?
-Considering the absolute cow PIG mum randomly chucked @ me last night, it really wasn't much surprise that I didn't get an awesome night's sleep. >< Nope, nature called once last night and once again around 6:50am, after which I spent the ten minutes until 7am having a mostly silent chat to percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance strength and endurance I needed to get through today with, giving all the pleasure, all the satisfaction to PIG mum and just suffering for her whenever she decided only she could be happy and/or satisfied. Actually, before I did that, I called upstairs to PIG mum, "Hey, remember you can't eat anything this morning!" See, she was going to get her blood taken and tested.
-More happy sleepings with Sunnybank followed; idiot Daddy bear had rolled outta bed last night and I couldn't reach him. XD
-After PIG mum poked me with "fifteen more minutes," I used the pot :P once more for @ least three tinkles and she got me kitted. Then PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk out to brush teeth (poor Ela), before she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk out to the gobbling :P table.
-lol, I was hoping for some 'special' breakfast, it being Christmas and all, but nope: got my usual two Weetbix with the smallest amount of honey ever. XD
-After I'd finished eating, I penned two Christmas cards; one for Lett's family; the other for Kwany and Mel Mel. Then I read My Brother Jack until dad decided 'twas time for us to leave and I let PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk to the 4WD. We didn't listen to any music today; also, PIG mum also gleefully forced poor Em to buckle her own seatbelt all day, of course.
-At church, PIG mum took me downstairs to the loo once, then left me attending the English service.
-lol, I much prefer services in A1: there's no stage for the worship team to mount, and as such, they don't ask people to stand for worship!! But I sung everything, just didn't mean anything.
-Speaker today was a guy called sth like Brian Tran? Just your usual Christmas message.
-Christy jie has returned!!! :D Lol, when Julz saw her, she ran outside and gave Christy jie a great big hug. After service, when I called out, "Hey, Christy jie!" she turned around and shot back, "I'm YOUNGER than you!" XD
-PIG mum took me once to the loo after the Canto Christmas service ended; then I took a seat at the most left table set out for our church luncheon. We were told to please bring our own plates; PIG mum had brought along my Happy Feet bowl/plate for me. After Pastor Chris said grace, I joined the queue to get food, and managed to get myself one whole plate/bowlful! :D
-I sat with some uncle who said that he'd been attending BCAC with his wife for about two years, and that he attends the same Bible study class with my dearest dad!
-Before dad drove us home, I went to the loo once more.
-Back home, I plopped online, PIG mum immediately hit pigland and dearest dad's wandering around the house doing sth.
-Some people are coming over for dinner tonight! Dr. Dr. Tai, definitely, maybe also Michael and Ivy?
-Toms: i'm super-duper excited, coz Leanne, Peggy and Esther are taking me out for lunch somewhere! Fingers crossed the parents can take me to hit what's left of the Boxing Day sales afterwards ... I need a new bookstand!
-Doubt I'll be able to return online tonight, so hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
