Saturday Post 354

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3917 steps and secondly, TWFT topic's 'Focus On The Solution Not The Problem' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 37THJ time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until noisy PIG mum awoke me with her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs; after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep coz I knew she'd get noisy again one hour later!
• Yup, precisely one hour later, PIG mum goes a-THUMPING upstairs to get changed for her half day's work; that's my wakeup call to use the pot :P again, before I spend ten minutes 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*
• At 7:30am, PIG mum comes to hit me with the eye goo before leaving for her half day's work. After dearest dad has retucked Alaistair and me back into bed and promised to say quiet and let us sleep in peace, before returning to happy snorings  I spent 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*
• Afterwards, Alaistair and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking twice more for the pot :P before Kim announces her arrival five minutes early. When dad lets her in, she pushes open my door and goes "Em? Fifteen more minutes?" I use Alaistair to nod @ her but then she cheekily adds, "Or five more minutes?" Alaistair immediately gives her the Bear Bum before imperiously shooeing her away. Kim smirks, "Okay, fifteen more minutes."
• Fifteen minutes later, I start swinging myself over to the pot :P calling out, "Kim, I'm hungry ..." Since she doesn't reply, once I'm over the commode and relieving myself, Era thumps the wall and I call again, "Kim, I said I'm *hungry*; where are you??" From the bathroom, Kim replies, "Putting some gloves on. Wait."
• When Kim enters my bedroom, we bid each other good morning. I swing myself back into bed, we get me kitted (I do the clothes; Kim does the footwear) and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth, where Ela enjoys her other break this month.
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo and do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and 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!
