Wednesday Post 396

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding exactly 2700 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic' from last night's "The Birth Of The Ancient Of Days' and thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Handling Your Money Wisely (2)'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:10am and 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 hourly after that initial pot :P trip but happiness today was snoring soundly until dearest dad very considerately walked silently along the hallway and unpops the lock leading into the garage before waking again for the pot. :P
• After dearest dad kisses me bye, retucks me back into bed and leaves for his hard day's work, I snore again for about another hour, waking once more for the pot :P shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum comes back to help with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO 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 pouring myself one mug of water, I sit. Breakfast is one bowl of bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD), one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast with a tiny dab of butter and strawberry jsm, 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*
• After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely to the loo, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.  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 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 climb into the backseat of PIG mum's 4WD and she tootles us off to meet Nana and Mrs. Dent for morning tea! Dunno why she picked Maccas not The Coffee Club, but hey.

• Lol @ Maccas PIG mum randomly says she's gonna share the meal I'm ordering and she'll only lemme get a small and not a medium one! >< *sigh* But I got a crispy bacon deluxe meal with a small choc shake, so hah. XD Mrs. Dent and Nana both had cappuccinos, and while PIG mum tapped her head off @ Mrs. Dent, Nana told me about what her life's like down in the Melbourne Retirement village.

• After we left, PIG mum and I bought groceries from Warrigal Square Woolies; we bumped into Frances! Luckily we saw her wearing a mask - we'd totally forgotten to wear ours! XD I sat down on some nearby bench and PIG mum whacked mine on, but when we got up and bought groceries she must've left them on the bench! She realised when she was driving me home; after letting me in she went back to try find them but nope. Already gone. ><

• Janice will mind me from 4pm till 6pm and choir's not happening again till next year so fingers crossed I can read for one hour!

• Also fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 135TH time!

• Toms: Karina's taking me to Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown and I've gotta do my Christmas present shopping for the parents plus a birthday present for PIG mum!

• Pastor Grace and Reverend Chris haven't got back to me yet on whether/not they're free toms for lunch together @ C Cafe ... 

• Don't think I've got any plans for the rest of the day ... maybe I'll get to watch the 6pm bulletin for the 136TH time!

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