Monday Post 328b

 Heylo again and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I get to post online before midday. XD Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2668 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Pleased To Praise'; thirdly, Joni's devotional topic's 'An Obi Of Love' and fourthly, TWFT topic's 'Strive For Excellence' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-FIVE MINUTES online after lunch!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome consecutive sleep last night! Nature didn't call until noisy PIG mum awoke me with her daily a-THUMPING around @ 6:10am; 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*
• When PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with vthe eye goo and help me with tops, I excitedly tell her about my latest dream: I'm sitting on the grass somewhere, when suddenly this huge brown bear comes looking for mother! I tell him, "Sorry, I've not seen her around here this morning," and he pads away; while PIG mum's giving me some eye goo I tell her oh no, what if he'd been looking for her coz he wanted to EAT her?! Mother replies confidently, don't worry. I'm too old and wouldn't have tasted yummy; he wouldn't have wanted to eat me. XD
• After giving myself fifteen more minutes, I get myself mostly independently kitted. PIG mum comes back to help with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth (poor Ela). Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for only one tinkle, coming out when I realise I feel like doing a stinky unspeakable.
• After getting myself a spoon, breakfast is one bowl of plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast smearedd very slightly with avocado and sprinkled with like one millisecond of salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full 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*
  Cheers,
