Wednesday Post 398

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2474 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Hope For Imperfect Christians' and thirdly, TWFT topic's 'How To Be Fruitful (4)' but fourthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR online after I get home from physio with Jacky!! Anyways, events for today?

• Aww, my four day awesome sleep streak ended @ 2:10am, when my idiot bladder poked me awake and demanded I use the pot. XD Nature called again around 6:10am, 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*
• Usually nature calls every hour after that initial pot :P trip but today happiness was snoring soundly all the way until 7P:45am, when dearest dad silently and very considerately walked along the hallway and unpopped the lock leading into the garage before waking for the pot :P again.
• After dearest dad has kissed me bye, retucked me back into bed and left for his hard day's work, I happily snore for about another hour, waking for the pot :P once more shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her usual a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo; when I told her how my awesome sleep streak ended last night and did that mean I was gonna have an unlucky year this year because I remember last year I started the year with one straight week of awesome sleeps she poopooed the idea. XD After helping me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap, she leaves 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 E'sAFO straps 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 PIG mum summons me to eat breakfast first.
  Cheers.
