Saturday Post 361

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1857 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Death Trap Called Covetousness' and thirdly, TWFT topic's 'How To Handle Disagreements (1)' but fourthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and FOURTEEN MINUTES online after I get back home from dinner tonight!! Anyways, events for today?

• Last night, nature called @ 12:15am. I was about to swing myself over to use the commode when I saw silly PIG mum had forgotten to put the pot :P in for me!! o_O "Dad, I screeched. "PIG mum didn't gimme the pot:P; please come downstairs and gimme the pot :P coz I'm busting!!" But dad's a heavy sleeper and obviously didn't hear me! I waited thirty seconds and tried again. After another half minute of silence, apart from calling loudly Era also thumps the wall and I call, "If you can't wake, come downstairs and gimme the pot :P I'm gonna haveta put the AFO back on and hightail it over to the loo! DAD!!" Thankfully, third time lucky, dad finally awoke and heard me. Clattering downstairs, he hurries into my bathroom, grabs the pot :P and puts it into the pot :P for me, before giving me a kiss goodnight and returning upstairs. Whata a drama! XD
• Nature called again @ 6:20am, when noisy PIG mum began her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs; after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep coz I was beyond certain she'd get noisy again one hour later!
• Sure enough, exactly one hour later, noisy 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. After this third trip, 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*
• When PIG mum comes to hit me with the eye goo before leaving for her half day's work, I gripe @ her for forgetting to gimme the pot because she just rushed off to bed. Lol, not even a 'sorry, I forgot' from her; she just said, "That's why you've gotta step up! You can't trust me to be around for you!" Lol next time she tries pulling that I'll not let her leave until she shows me the pot :P she's gonna put into my commode. After she leaves, 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*
  Cheers,
