Friday Post 302

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2512 steps (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "Prayer's Exclamation Point"; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Don't Let Your Feelings Control You" and fourthly, the spam count for the week's sixty-eight. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, third consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, 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*

•  Usually nature calls hourly after the initial pot :P trip but today happiness was snoring soundly with Uber all the way until dearest dad very considerately walked silently along the hallway and unpopped the lock into the garage before waking again for another pot :P trip.

• After dearest dad kisses me bye, retucks me into bed and heads off not to work but to paint sth @ church, I happily cuddle Uber and snore for about another hour, waking once more for the pot :P shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Peggy's arrival @ 9am.

• Uber's very pleased that Peggy remembers his name and doesn't call him Herbert anymore, but instructs I teach Peggy how to pronounce it with a French twist after I get my fifteen more minutes and am using the pot :P for a tinkle. XD Back in bed, we get me kitted and then I head over to brush teeth; Ela enjoys another break from having to hold the toothbrush~

• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for just one tinkle, coming out when I realise I feel like doing a stinky unspeakable.

• Breakfast is the yummy chocolate custard bun Karina bought for me from New York Baguette yesterday, one bowl of flaky bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD), 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 sit once more 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 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 Peggy's passenger seat and she tootles us off to Calamvale Central. Thanks to Peggy who kindly helps me with my seatbelt both ways~

• She grabbed a trolley for us; we pushed it to buy groceries @ Woolies before sitting down and tapping @ our mobiles for like thirty minutes. I tell Peggy to go buy me Korean fried chicken for my birthday; she comes back with one pack of four wings, two each! She also warns me not to tell PIG mum. "Tell her what?" I reply innocently. "Tell her that I -" I interrupt her, louder, "Tell her what?!" Peggy gets it, laughs, and replies, "Good girl." XD

• Back home, I turn the alarm off and take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who rinsed out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was my delicious crunchy BBQ pork salad roll; thanks also to PIG mum for one yummy mug of delicious vanilla chai with milk. A2 2pm she signed Peggy off with our thanks and byes; she's back again next Friday, same time~

• At 2pm, Tiff and Marissa come give Ela OT - and they bought me two drumsticks from KFC! Ela fed me one; PIG mum had better lemme have the other for arvo tea! Next week we're making choc banana muffins; the Chopping Board Of Death is still in disgrace and won't see any actions. XD

• Once I've used up my most important two hours of the day, I'll head over to the gobbling :P table for arvo tea and read for one hour.

• Looking forward to watching the 6pm bulletin for the 37TH time!

• Toms: getting my weekly sleep-in till 10am, when Hannah will help me up and then take me for walkies @ Underwood Marketplace. Will shower @ 12:30pm/when I get back coz I don't get 4-6pm support anymore.

• Haveta ask dad tonight is there any ping pong toms arvo.

• Looking forward to my three big mugs of white tea and fingers crossed for the chance to read for three hours!

• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
