Saturday Post 243

Good afternoon! Firstly, today I’ve only been hard @ work plodding only 770 steps (obviously, I’ve not left the house) and secondly, TWFT topic’s ‘Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego (2). Anyways, events for today?

• For my first game of Bejeweled ending @ 2:06, I lasted 5:12. Now, lemme play one more game lasting in between six and seven minutes, and I’ll willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• Woo hoo, 11^TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature tried calling twice last night, but both times I persuaded my idiot bladder to lemme fall back asleep and not call until the sun had risen enough that I could see the time my clock on the wall said, and that wasn’t till 6:50am!

I tried falling asleep before PIG mum left for her half day’s work, but sleep wouldn’t return. Doesn’t matter; when PIG mum started a-THUMPING around upstairs @ 7:20am, I used the pot :P once more then spent the ten minutes till 7:30am beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*

When PIG mum entered my room and unceremoniously poked me, I turned around and with the untmost insincerity droned, “Good morning, thank-you and please gimme some eye goo.” Then I used the pot :p once more before spending another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*

• After dearest dad had retucked the teddies and I back into bed and promised to stay quiet so we could snore in peace, we cuddled and did exactly that, me waking twice more for the pot :P before Besta arrived about seven minutes early. When she arrived, after bidding me a cheery good morning she immediately offered us fifteen more minutes, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
• Now @ 3:07pm I’ve finished another game of Bejeweled lasting 6:08. That’s today’s quotas satisfied, and now I promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD

After counting down my fifteen more minutes, I spent the around ten minutes before Besta came to help me get ready for the day finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

• When Besta comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle and tell her about my one bittersweet dream this week. She gets me kitted then we head over to the bathroom where I brush teeth. Thanks to Besta who squirts me out some toothpaste; Ela enjoys her once-weekly break.
• After one more loo trip for one tinkle, I wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast. Thanks to dearest dad who leaves me one whole ham and egg sandwich for breakfast, meaning I don’t haveta go searching for morning tea; thanks also to Besta who adds some cheese for me, cooks the bread yummy and makes me my first mug of white tea with two sugars.
• My biggest joy, however, is getting to read James Clavell’s Gai-jin for seventy minutes! This morning, I reached pg. 100 @ 11:25am. As for Besta, after making my bed she sits and very gently massages Ela for fifty-five minutes, stopping once to field a phone call from her cousin. Lol, she often gets so engrossed into watching The Morning Show she just stops massaging Ela entirely; I’m developed a habit of twitching Ela @ the end of each paragraph; she feels the movement, remembers what she’s meant to be doing and continues. XD
• Just after midday, I use the loo for one more tinkle. Back @ the gobbling :P table, I read for another quarter-hour then try ringing Aunty Lai. Not finding her, I try Aunty Nga next and leave a message on the answering machine when nobody picks up. Maybe they’ve gone out together? Oh, while I keep reading, I reach pg. 125 @ 12:25.
• Suddenly, Mickey rings me back @ 12:25pm! When he puts Aunty Nga on the line, she tells me Aunty Lai has gone flag selling with her lei mun (say that in Canto) group! We chat for about twenty minutes, only stopping when Besta says, “Okay, Emily,” meaning, “Time to use the loo.” At exactly the same time, Aunty Nga announces she wants to perform a number two. XD We hang up, saying we’ll try speak again tomorrow.
• I use the loo for one more tinkle, coming back out when I realise I feel like doing a stinky unspeakable.
• Before leaving, Besta helps me pass another level of Candy Crush!!! It’s nothing to get excited over; think I’ve only reached level 126. XD
• For lunxh, I tuck into my full bowl of yummy fried rice that Besta cooked for me, plus my third (and potentially final) mug of white tea with two sugars. I ring dearest dad and read till like 1:40pm, meaning I’ve read for two hours already~
• Before returning online, I do a stinky unspeakable.
• Only when I check my Facebook memories do I realise that today’s actually Kim’s BIRTHDAY! I ask PIG mum please to find me a birthday card (she digs up one of my prized minion cards and @ first I’m reluctant to part with one but PIG mum has promised she’ll buy me another should she see more) and she also finds a box of chocolates to give Kim!
• Unfortunately, almost no hope of PIG mum taking me out for dinner tonight coz dad’s got mens’ group happening.
• Toms: just church, nothing special. Would dearly love to share lunch with other EM people but can already forsee the parents just gleefully restricting me to a cheap lunch @ Maccas with them … *sigh*
• Braced also for a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum. I swear, that woman DELIBERATELY waits until dearest dad’s almost home from playing baddy and enjoying arvo tea with his mates before hurting downstairs, immediately booting me offline and gleefully FORCING L me to plod on the bloody treadmill for her so when dad arrives home he can see how much power she has over me and what a piece of sh*t I’ve become! >< *sigh*
• But he’d better take us out for dinner toms night coz I can’t see PIG mum doing so tonight … anyways, hopefully bbl, else hoping to see everyone @ church toms!

Cheers,

Em. ^^
