Thursday Post 358

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3543 steps (ha, I'm just over 3.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Who Are The Descendants Of Abraham?' and thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Give God The First Moments Of Your Day'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:50am, and after one pot :P 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*

   

• Nature calls again one hour later; after another pot :P I climb back into bed and wonder how late Tina will arrive today? Amazingly, she rings the doorbell promptly @ 8am! After knocking and entering my room, she offers me fifteen more minutes after saying good morning; when she dares to come back ninety seconds too early Mum Pig sends her packing. XD

• When Tina comes back for the second time, I swing myself over to the pot :P once more before she gets me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Tina who squirts me some toothpaste; Ela enjoys her first official break this week~

• After brushing teeth, I head out to the gobbling :P table and for breakfast, eat a plain mashed avocado toastie, drink one full mug of water, pop all my usual drugs :P and drink another smaller mug of water. 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*

   

• Breakfast finished, I head down the callback back to the loo. 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, finding a side park outside level two.

• After using the loo for one tinkle, I grab Orson Scott Card's 'Children Of The Fleet' and happily read for about one hour, reaching page fifty @ 10:15am.

• After posting an update onto Facebook, I use the loo for one more tinkle, before Tina and I catch the escalator up to level four, grab a shopping trolley and start buying groceries @ Coles

• Groceries from Coles bought, we catch the elevator back down to level two, where I intended to take a seat while Tina ducked into New York Baguette to buy me one sausage bun and one custard bun. Only the bench was already fully occupied; instead I held the trolley and braced against the shopfront while Tina ducked inside and bought buns for me.

• Our last stop for groceries was Woolies; as usual, Caitlin was on lunch break. XD

• When Tina and I arrived outside Woka Warrigal; 'twas only 12:30pm!b Thirty minutes to play Candy Crush-type games, then. XD

• Pastors Chris had just arrived when Tina and I entered.

• Pastor Grace what I had last fortnight (baked fish fillet rice) and I had what she ate last fortnight (fried instant noodle)! It's AMAZING; too bad PIG mum said she'd only lemme have it once. I drank a HK-style coffee milk tea~

• The Lungs left after only fifty minutes since they had something else happening; I took my time enjoying my delicious meal.

• After Tina tootled me home, I turned the alarm off and took a nice hot shower - I washed and rinsed my hair today. I also sang 20$ of my shorter second-favourite song softly, slowly but most hatefully out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, since Tina kindly stayed and held the showerhead over my back while I showered, I was warm and actually finished after only 9%, but happily leaned fully against the side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before flipping the nice hot water off.

• After Tina came back, I got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Tina rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was helping with Elf's AFO straps and one last when she was giving Wally back to Ela.

• Back outside, I turned the computer on while Tina went to clean the bathroom. When she was done she walked with me over to the gobbling :P table, where I let PIG mum nab half my yummy sausage bun for arvo tea and she gave me one mug of green tea.

• After Tina left, before returning online I snuck my mobile into the loo and played Farm Hereos for three tinkles. XD

• Listening to Nine's 6pm news now; hopefully dad will reheat and feed me dinner by 6:45pm coz NRL coverage begins @ 7:30pm! 

• Toms: I've copped a HUGE reprieve; no physio coz silly David has got himself food poisoning!! Instead, PIG mum says she might take me to get my first COVID jab?Kim can't mind me from 4-6pm toms; CODA rang today and said Anette would. Sure hope it's Annette Kennedy!!

Should I watch Nine's Friday night football/continue blogging? Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
