Saturday Post 362

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2622 steps (ha, I'm over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'How Well Do You Know God?' and thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Being Ready'. Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 9th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until noisy PIG mum awoke me with her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs @ 6:20am; after one pot :P trip I fell back asleep straight away since I knew beyond doubt PIG mum would get noisy again one hour later!
• Like clockwork, @ 7:20am PIG mum goes a-THUMPING upstairs and gets changed for her half day's work; that's my wakeup call to use the pot :P again. After the second 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*
• After PIG mum hits me with the eye goo and leaves for her half day's work, 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 dearest dad retucks me into bed and promises to stay quiet since I wanna snore, I  have a MASSIVE sleep; nature doesn't call until 9:45am!
• Kim arrives five/ten minutes early to help me up. Finally, she remembers not to offer me just one minute after offering fifteen first. XD For some reason, dad does the same thing straight afterwards! With the door closed I can't hear clearly what's been said but there was some conversation happening between Kim and dad; when PIG mum's around, it's just her going yap yap yap and the other person going uh huh! XD
• Only about thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Got kitted, brushed teeth, did a stinky unspeakable, ate breakfast and read for thirty minutes. reaching pg. 350 @ 10:51.
• Used loo for one more tinkle and went to Calamvale Central with Kim.
• The sushi place was closed; instead we each bought a bun from Hanaromart and I also bought a box of tissues from Woolies.
• Turned alarm off and showered - sang 17% of my shorter second-favourite song softly, slowly but most hatefully out aloud.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted lunch was one yummy bowl of the fried rice Kim cooked for me while I was showering plus my third final big mug of white tea with two sugars. I had my second when we got home from Calamvale Central just before midday; Kim bought us one red bean mochi to share!
• I used the loo once more for two tinkles before Kim, left @ 2pm. She's back Tuesday and taking me to Toastmasters provided it's happening.
  
• Once I've used up my most important two hours of the day online, I'll use the loo for one more tinkle and then hopefully read for TWO hours straight coz I've only read for one!
• Toms: just church, nothing special. Perhaps expect a pissy plodding total from me since service will only be online?
• But the Broncos are playing toms arvo and hopefully dad will take us out for dinner toms night!
• Righteo, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing Sunday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
