Saturday Post 393

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total from Saturday night's actually 5105 (sweet, I was more than half a normal person yesterday XD); secondly, today I'm logging in login that today I was hard @ work plodding 2722 steps (that's my plodding total from two Saturday's back; this morning Neisha forgot to take Wally off before giving Ela a massage; when I checked him @ midday, he'd already given me 5000+ steps! XD); thirdly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'How To Fight Anxiety'; thirdly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's 'Fences'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic from last night's 'Like A Symphony'; Our Daily Bread's devotional topic for tonight's 'From Wisdom To Joy' and fifthly, TWFT topic's 'Love Is A Verb' but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-SIX MINUTES online after dinner!! Anyways, let's start off with last night's events first!

  • After dearest dad got home from his hard day's work, I used the loo for one more tinkle, climbed into the backseat of his 4WD and dad tootled PIG mum and me over to the Cheung family residence, they live literally three streets away!
  • Aww, isn't Sam a good boy? Since he was heading off to SG, he actually took the time to say hello and sorry he couldn't stay! I waved off his apology and said enjoy tonight~
  • Aww we're always spoiled when we have dinner @ Aunty Winnie's; the only alas was that I only got a small half bowl of rice. XD I particularly like the deep fried sweet potato!
  • After dinner, I played Candy Crush-type games until the battery went flat. Then, since PIG mum wasn't using her mobile (she was chatting with Aunty Winnie; Uncle Colbert had left for his meeting @ 8pm) I logged onto Nine Now and started watching finals football! The Storm were playing the Sea Eagles last night! Once the sound started, PIG mum immediately whipped out her earphones and plugged them into my hears, so I wouldn't hinder her yapping with Aunty Winnie. XD
  • Melbourne ran out winners, even though I was cheering for the Sea Eagles, but oh well. We left right after the game finished and good timing - Sam returned home from small group in time to say bye!
  • Back home, repeat the usual nightly events, zzz~
  • Today: aww, my awesome sleep streak ended @ 12:15am last night when nature poked me awakje and demanded I use the pot. :P
  • Nature called again @ 6:20am when PIG mum began her noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs; after one pot :P trip I immediately fell bacxk asleep since I knew with certainty she'd get loud again one hour later!
  • Sure enough, noisy PIG mum a-THUMPING upstairs one hour later was 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 she hits me with the eye goo and rushes off to her morning's work, Ispent 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*
  • Returning to sleep, I wake for the pot :P twice more before Neisha arrives and offers me fifteen more minutes. When she tries coming back four minutes too early, Uber gruffly sends her away. XD

  • After the fifteen more minutes, I use the loo for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and I head over to brush teetth. Thanks to Neisha who squirted me some toothpaste; Ela enjoyed her other break.

  • Teeth brushed, I sit over 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 head out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast. Thanks to dearest dad who cooked ham and eggs and left me one (not half) a sandwich; thanks also to Neisha who cooked the bread yummy and added one slice of cheese for me. 

  • While Neisha started very gently massaging Ela, I started reading The Barefoot Surgeon for one hour first up! I reached page seventy-five @ 11:27am and pg. 100 @ 11:53am.
