Good afternoon! Firstly, I'm unsure how many steps I've been hard @ work plodding today since neither parent is around to check his number for me (dearest dad has gone swimming and PIG mum's snoring upstairs after working a half-day this morning); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional from last night's 'The Best Form of Slavery' and thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Learning To Confront (1)' but fourthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-TWO MINUTES online if I get to watch the 6pm bulletin for the 19TH time!! Anyways, events for today?
- Aww, my four-day awesome sleep streak ended @ 12:20am last night, when nature called and demanded I use the pot :P once. Nature called again around 6am, and after another 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 PIG mum finishes her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs, I quickly fall back asleep, knowing she'll get noisy one hour later. Like clockwork, I'm awoken by her noisy a-THUMPING upstairs one hour later to get changed for work and use the pot :P once more then.
- PIG mum hits me with the eye goo and bolts off for her half day's work, giving no more than a cursory glance to Era's fingertips after I tell her the tips of Era's pointer and middle fingers are peeling. After dearest dad retucks me back into bed, says he'll cook me some lunch and promises to stay quiet so that Uber and I can happily snore in peace, before returning to our happy snorings together 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*
- I wake twice more for the pot :P before Vicki arrives; she forgets to gimme fifteen more minutes but I still get up and swing myself over to the pot :P after fifteen because if I demand fifteen more minutes when she comes back, I'll be back in bed before twelve hours have passed and I'll feel like I've wanted the whole day!
- After we get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth; thanks to Vicki who squirts me some toothpaste. After drinking one mug of water, I sit over the loo and 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 walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
- Sweet, apart from enjoying dearest dad's once weekly ham and eggs, Vicki even gets me a bowl of bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD)! Over breakfast, I happily start the new James Heriot novel and read for thirty minutes.
- While I visit the loo for one more tinkle, Vicki shuts and locks the windows. After climbing into her passenger seat, Vicki tootles me off to the Logan North to pickup next month's book club novel!
- I've not met the male librarian who loaned me the book before. Back in Vicki's car, our other stop was to Underwood MarketPlace to try and find facial tissues (no luck) and get a sushi roll for my arvo tea.
- Back home, I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Vicki who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
- I had one tinkle before Vicki flipped the nice warm water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Vicki rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was helping with Elf's AFO straps and one last when I was drying inside the ears with a tissue.
- Back outside, Vicki made me my second mug of white tea with two sugars before reheating lunch for me and then going to clean the bathroom. When she came back, I asked her to please massage Ela. She did for ten minutes, took a break for ten minutes and did it again for a final ten minutes before I used the loo once more for two tinkles @ 1:55pm and said my thanks and byes @ 2pm. She's back next Friday 9am till 1pm and her jellybean's orange-sized next week!
- Dad tootled me off to church to play ping pong with the CM folk! The moment we arrived, we heard Uncle Wallace yelling. XD
- We played three rounds together today; dad's most frequent comment to me was, "Oh, you missed!" XD
- Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle, munched my yummy veggie tempura after tea sushi and drank one mug of lemon ginger honey (can't remember which XD) infusion, used the loo once more and popped online.
- Toms: just church, nothing special. Oh, the special thing's that we're having small group via Zoom and it's my turn for testimony sharing!
- Unsure will mother take me to BCAC for ESS afterwards/just watch online? If just watch online, perhaps expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
- Also unsure are we having our weekly family dinner out tonight/toms night?
- Anyways, hopefully bbl, else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
