Thursday Post 355

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4130 steps (sweet, I'm over four grand; that doesn't happen too often!); secondly, John Piper's devotional from last night's topic's 'The Great Commission' and thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Be Of Good Courage, And Do It' but fourthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-SIX MINUTES online after I let PIG mum nab half my arvo tea!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 14TH consecutive awesome sleep last night; that's the 8th time this year I've achieved one straight week of awesome sleeps (my grand total when I first started recording them all the way back in 2012) and nature didn't call until 6:50am, after which 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*
• After sleeping for another hour, dearest dad came to kiss me bye and retuck me back into bed before leaving for his hard day's work. I use the pot :P again and then settle back into bed, wondering how late Tina will arrive today.
• The answer? Six minutes. After she gives me my fifteen more minutes, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, give Tina step-by-step instructions on how to get me kitted and then head over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Thanks to Tina who squirts me some toothpaste; Ela enjoys her second official break for the week~ Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for five minutes, coming out when I realise I feel like doing a stinky unspeakable.
• Breakfast is one bowl of plain porridge with sliced banana, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Thanks to Tina who put on Today for my viewing pleasure (Sunrise didn't have any reception); over breakfast, 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*

•  After breakfast, I visit the loo again. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and spend minutes 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!

• After washing and drying Era, I climb into Tina's car and she tootles me off to Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown for my fortnightly shopping trip!

• Tina found sideways parking on level two; I used the loo for one tinkle, grabbed Aaron Johnstone's and Orson Scott Card's The Hive and happily read for about one hour, reaching pg. 125 @ 10:16am and reaching pg. 150 @ 10:56am.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
