Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1922 steps (so pretty sure I'll have cracked 2000 steps before the day's out XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Greatest Salvation Imaginable' and thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Pray For Discernment (1)'. Anyways, events for today?
- Aww my awesome sleep streak ended around 12:35am last night; when my idiot bladder nudged me awake and ordered that I use the pot. :P Then for some strange reason, I woke like thrice more for the pot before the Sun came up, but each time with a full bladder? Don't remember drinking lots anything last night?
- Nature called again @ 6:20am, when noisy PIG mum began her noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. After another pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep again, since I knew for sure she'd get noisy again one hour later!
- Sure enough, precisely one hour later, noisy PIG mum goes a-THUMPING upstairs and get's changed for her half day's work; that's my wakeup call to use the pot :P again, after which 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 dashes out the door, and after dearest dad has retucked me back into bed, promised to stay quiet and said he'd leave me some rice leftovers for lunch, before returning to happy snorings with Uber 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*
- Before Janice arrives I wake twice more for the pot. :P She actually arrives like five/ten minutes early, but dad remembers to gimme fifteen more minutes before helping me up.
- After using the pot :P for one tinkle, we get me kitted and I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Janice who squirts me some toothpaste.
- Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against
the side rail and 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 NO
- After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast. Thanks to dearest dad who's cooked ham and eggs; thanks also to Janice who adds one slice of cheese for me and tries to cook the bread yummy. I also read for thirty minutes, finishing page 100 @ 11:08am and finishing page 111 @ 11:23am.
- After one more pot :P trip, I climb into Janice's passenger seat and she tootles me off to Underwood MarketPlace. Unfortunately, since my disabled parking permit's gone AWOL, she had to park around the side @ the very back.
- But once @ Woolies we grab a trolley. I buy one box of tissues while she gets some chips coz she's attending a Christmas party afterwards!
- After choosing one yummy chicken sushi roll for arvo tea, Janice tootles me home and I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Janice who helps me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. While I showered, Janice told me that she lives in Marsden, has two boys and one girl (twenty-seven, twenty-four and twenty-one; plumber but I forgot the other two jobs) and has two granddaughters but isn't married anymore and just lives with her pet who's twelve!
- I had one tinkle before Janice flipped the nice warm water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Janice rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was helping with Erf's sock and one last when she was giving Wally back to Ela.
- Back outside, Janice made me another mug of white tea with two sugars, reheated lunch for me and cleaned the bathroom. When dad came home, I signed her off with my thanks and byes @ 2pm. Hope she'll come back again; she's nice~
- I used the loo for two tinkles and then popped online.
- Once my most important two hours of the day are up, I'll visit the loo again, head down to the gobbling :P table, munch my sushi and hopefully read for another two hours and ten minutes, because it's only Thursdays that I can spend a blessed three hours reading~
- Toms: just church, nothing special. Actually, the special thing's that Kim's coming to help me up @ 8:30am and then staying with me till 11am when she drops me off to BCAC for ESS but in the arvo she's coming back and after I shower we're attending the WOVB Christmas concert together!
- Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
