Friday Post 303

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3311 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Ministry And The Fear Of Man'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Have You Sinned? God Will Forgive You!' and fourthly, the spam count for the week's ninety-three. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until the noisy garbage truck woke me when it THUNDERED down our road to start tipping bins, 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 was snoring soundly today all the way until dearest dad very thoughtfully walks 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 into bed and leaves for his hard day's work, Uber and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her usual daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room too hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting  Peggy's arrival @ 9am.
• When Peggy arrives, she bids me good morning, I wave Uber @ her and she bids Uber good morning too before giving us fifteen more minutes. When she comes back, I use the pot :P for a few more tinkles, we get me kitted and then  I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who squirts me some toothpaste. 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 the less yummy bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD), one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread with strawberry jam, 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*
• That done, I climb into Peggy's car and she tootles me off to Calamvale Central Central for walkies and grocery shopping.
• Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly: Mother wouldn't lemme buy a sushi roll for arvo tea but she did lemme buy a pork salad roll for lunch.
• Got home, turned alarm off and took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• After getting dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch is the yummy pork salad roll and one mug of vanilla chai with milk.
• Tiff and Marissa come gimme OT; we made choc chip and banana muffins together and next week's the last time I'll ever see Marissa!
• When they left, I walked them to the door, said thanks, bye, used the loo for one tinkle and plopped online.
• After I've used up my most important two hours of the day I'll head over to the gobbling :P table for my arvo tea muffin; maybe I'll even read for one hour!
• Toms: think Nisha's minding me from 10am till 2pm. Will shower @ 12:30pm since I don't get 4-6pm support anymore.
• Think there's ping pong toms arvo? Will ask dad over dinner tonight.
• Looking forward to my three big mugs of white tea and fingers crossed for the chance to read for three hours toms!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
