Saturday Post 393

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3127 steps (ha, I'm over three grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Worship In A Storm' and thirdly, TWFT topic's "What's In A Name? Everything!" Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:20am when PIG mum noisily began her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs; after one pot :P trip I fell back asleep immediately since I knew for sure she'd be a-THUMPING back upstairs one hour later!
  • Sure enough, exactly one hour later, noisy PIG mum goes a-THUMPING upstairs and gets changed for her half-day's work; that's my wake-up call to use the pot :P again, before 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, leaves for her half day's work and dad retucks me into bed, saying he'll cook me some rice for lunch, I happily snore, waking for the pot :P twice more before Hannah arrives like ten minutes early. Still, she knows the drill: she knocks, enters, says good morning then fifteen more minutes? I nod Uber @ her and she withdraws.
  • After fifteen more minutes, I call out to Hannah that I'm hungry and use the pot :P for one more tinkle. Hannah gets me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Thanks to Hannah who squirts me some toothpaste; Ela enjoys her other break this week~
  • After drinking one mug of water, 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!  Oh, almost forgot: after dad retrucked me back into bed, 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 washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast. Thanks to dearest dad for cooking ham and eggs and thanks to Hannah who tried cooking the bread yummy and put one slice of cheese into it; just pity there wasn't any white bread!
  • After reading for thirty minutes, I used the loo for one more tinkle, climbed into Hannah's tank and she tootled us off for a hike @ Underwood Park around the lake. 
  • Like always, I joked about diving into the lake; Hannah groaned and said please don't coz I'd haveta jump in after you. XD We saw the headless goose again and also a mummy duck leading like four/five ducklings!
  • Hike over, we poked @ our smartphones for ten/twenty minutes before Hannah tootled me home.
  • After turning the alarm off, I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Hannah who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeingf Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • I had one tinkle before Hannah flipped the nice hot water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Hannah rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was doing Elf's AFO straps and one last when she was drying my glasses after washing them for me.
  • Back outside, Hannah made me another mug of white tea with two sugars before going to clean the bathroom. That finished, she reheated some lunch for me and made me one final mug of white tea with two sugars. I just happily read until 1:55pm, before using the loo once more for two tinkles and signing her off. She's back Tuesday 9-1/2.
  • Dad's brought me back a charsiu bun for arvo tea, yay! I'll munch that after using up the entirety of my most important two hours of the day~ Will hopefully read for another two hours and five minutes, because it's only ever Sundays that I get to spend a blessed three hours reading~
  • Uncle Cyras will come over this arvo and help dad install some kinda wi-fi system; apparently we're going out for dinner together after that? Wonder if that'll count for our once-weekly dinner out? Hope not!
  • Toms: just church, nothing special. Well, the special thing's that ESS eill happen @ 9am down in A7/8 (Pastor Grace's preaching) coz BCAC's having the AGM @ 11am!
  • Dunno what's happening for lunch afterwards; would love lunch out with other ESS peoples but it's not looking likely ... *sigh*
  • Also dunno what's happening toms arvo/toms night, but hopefully bbl else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^
