Monday Post 189c

Good afternoon and potentially one final greeting for Sunday!  Em’s potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ only 855; but I’ll hopefully crack 1000 before the day’s out! Righteo, potential final, final events for Sunday?

-        PIG mum announced her arrival home ten minutes early. Usually, before letting her back in, I alternate between asking her to tell me sth that only I’d know and saying something nice about me. Last time (after Kim took me out for my fortnightly shopping trip last Thursday, she’d already told me sth that only I knew so this time I asked her to say sth nice about me. However, for the 3^rd/4^th consecutive time, she demanded, “I’ve got a tummyache. Lemme in NOW. Huh, I’m suspicious: how come she only ever gets tummyaches when I ask her to say sth nice about me? She’s never had a tummyache when I’ve asked her to tell me only sth she knows …

-        Anyways, I just sat out in the car and waited for her while she did her business. When she tootled me off to church, she told me that Thomas had spoken today, but she’d left to get me when Kathy had started talking about our church finances.

-        On arrival, I used the loo once; thanks to PIG mum who waited and saw me seated (on account of my sore ankle) before running off to her very informal ‘fellowship’ with all the other aunties who can’t be bothered attending Bible study either like my dearest dad does. Not sure why she calls it ‘fellowship’ because I’m fairly certain they don’t pray/read the Bible together/anything; they just sit, drink coffee and gossip, but hey.

-        Highlight of my week: getting a Malteaster chocolate bunny from Letty! :D A bit belated, but this Easter’s been a success: I’ve had both Easter eggs and an Easter bunny; actually, I even got an Easter BEAR from Ray!

-        Yay, I got to stay seated for worship. I sang everything I knew, plus the harmony for three songs, but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*

-        Speaker today was Pastor Chris with another sermon from his Kingdom Partner series.

-        After Ray (today’s chairperson) closed service, Janice wandered over with baby Noah for a chat.

-        Then, Mid Chow gave a quick talk about our church finances! Cripes, we’re like HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of dollars in deficit; we’re not gonna haveta shut down over 8.5 years after we started, are we?? :S

-        PIG mum came back for me, I used the loo once more for two tinkles then she tootled us off to Maccas with dearest dad.

-        My ETERNAL FRUSTRATION: I’m THIRTY, for goodness sakes; you’d think I’d be big enough to eat one PISSY LITTLE HAPPY MEAL by myself, surely?? Nope, dad nabs @ least half my small chips to add to his own regular chips with his Big Mac meal. >< *sigh*

-        After he leaves to go play baddy with his mates, PIG mum and I finish eating then browse through some Woolies food magazine before I let her gleefully FORCE L me to walk back to the 4WD and she tootles us back home.

-        After turning the alarm off, I use the loo for one more tinkle then walk myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

-        Toms: well, my weekly torture session with Vincent the physio isn’t till the early afternoon; hopefully PIG mum’ll take me grocery shopping somewhere else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.

-        Kim’s coming to mind me from 4pm till 6pm. Fingers crossed she’ll lemme off shoelace tying practice, will lemme drink white tea with two sugars and gimme the chance to read for one hour but still get the chance to watch the sports report! Righteo, hopefully bbl, else hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!

Cheers,

Em. ^^
