Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1988 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional from last night's "Lincoln's Providence"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Learning To Confront (2)'; fourthly, the final, final spam count for the week's actually seventy-one and fifthly, the spam count for the weekend's thirteen. Anyways, events for today?
- Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6am 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*
- Then I happily snore again with Uber, waking once more for the pot :P one hour later. Shortly after that, 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 with absolutely nothing but 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 to help with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, after which 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.
- Breakfast is one bowl of bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast smeared with a little avocado and perhaps sprinkled with half a millisecond's worth of salt, 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 NO
- After washing and drying Era, I walk myself slowly and safely online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. We had SG on Zoom, but somehow I managed to accidentally join the guys! XD Reverend Chris was like, "Grace is trying to videochat you," so I excused myself, made my way back to the gobbling :P table and joined the correct video chat. XD
- After praying, I headed back to the mainframe coz 'twas time for testimony sharing! I know about Zoom and Hangouts but this morning was the first time I used some new one ... Microsoft Teams? I joined partway through Reverend Chris' testimony and then 'twas my turn!
- Originally PIG mum had said we're leaving @ 9:30am but she actually ordered that we leave two minutes earlier than that ... I didn't protest, since I'd just finished my testimony.
- At church we both used the loo once then headed over to our assigned seats in the 5th row from the front, most left.
- Living Waters Alliance Church led worship! Yay that I got to stay seated; I sang everything I knew (the English songs I just Googled for the lyrics but just listened to the Chinese one XD) plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
- Speaker today was Rev. Ken Graham; his sermon was entitled 'HOPE' and Aunty Janet translated for him.
- Even before service had ended, PIG mum had hustled me outta the hall and down the stairs to use the toilets there; she was somehow certain that the one outside the main hall would already be occupied? Only the disabled toilet's loo lid was closed and horrid PIG mum wouldn't lift it for me... next, I tried the normal ladies but the first three cubicles had closed lids too ... I was thinking, dammit, will I haveta walk back and forth between the disabled loo and the normal ladies until I find one with the lid up?? Thankfully, the last one was, phew!
- Dearest dad met us walking back upstairs to the car; PIG mum said he could take me to Maccas and she was going home for lunch.
- At least dad didn't insist that we sit @ the very end again ... but like always, he only lemme have a Happy Meal, he stole one of my chips and then hungrily eyed the three left! To save them I put them on my right pant leg.
- Back home, I used the looi for one tinkle and walked myself slowly and safely back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
- Gosh I'm hungry ... after I've used up my most important two hours of the day I'll head over to the gobbling :P table and ask PIG mum for some arvo tea. Will hopefully read the new book club novel for one hour too.
- Dad had better take us out to dinner tonight and gimme ONE bowl of rice!!
- Toms: Hannah's minding me 9-2; she'll take me to the NAB for physio with Hailey before seeing me home and showered.
- PIG mum's currently watching YouTube and learning how to make pork floss so she's not sure whether I have any more appointments toms arvo but hopefully I can read the new book club novel for one hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 20TH time!
- Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
