Wednesday Post 277

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3442 steps (meaning I'm confident I'll have cracked 3.5 grand before Wednesday finishes XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Have Mercy On Me, Oh God' and thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Make Criticism Work For Y ou'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, for the first time in five days, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:30am; 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*
• Usually nature calls every hour after that initial pot :P trip, but today I had such a happy snore with Uber that I didn't wake again until dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently down the hallway and unpopped the lock leading into the garage before I woke again!
• After dearest dad leaves for his hard day's work, I happily snore again, this time being woken by PIG mum's daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and then back out again to await Ete's arrival.
• When she got here, PIG mum gave me fifteen more minutes and then Ete helped me get kitted. When I headed over to the bathroom to brush teeth, I was about too ask Ete please to squirt me some toothpaste but PIG mum shooed her away. Doesn't matter; Ela still enjoyed her first official break this week~
• After brushing teeth, I use the loo for only one tinkle, coming out when I feel like doing a stinky unspeakable.
• After getting myself a spoon, breakfast is the last of PIG mum's yummy pork floss buns, one bowl of plain porridge, 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*
• Breakfast finished, 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!

•  Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:

• Went to Underwood Park with Ete to buy one box of tissues.

• Sat and played on phone for awhile; bumped into Yeshi!

• Got home and took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Ete who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was ... prolly a toastie? I forgot. XD

• Saw Ray for some massage and acupuncture. PIG mum was in her element, yapping ceaselessly @ him; my grateful thanks to him who always replied and kept a conversation flowing.

• Choir practice from 5:30pm till 6:30pm tonight.

• Toms: someone's supposedly helping me up[ @ 8am and taking me to GCCW. I've not heard anything that it's not happening.

• But excitement: it's book club dinner tonight! Di will drive me home afterwards; fingers crossed she'll take me to Maccas for an ice cream afterwards! She said 'twas too cold for ice cream but I told her she could have an apple pie but I wanted ice cream!! XD

• Anyways, hopefully bbl after dinner, else hope everyone's having a smashing week!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
