Saturday Post 303

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3308 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Forever Satisfied'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Heaven Is Real' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'A Life Of Intregrity' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIF MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 43RD time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 6th awesome consecutive sleep last night! Actually, nature did call once shortly before midnight but I used the pot :P really quickly and was back in bed before the new day arrived. Actually, nature may have called again while 'twas still dark but I was too sleepy to turn the light on and check the time, so I'm counting last night as another awesome night's sleep. XD Nature didn't call until 6:05am, 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*

•  One hour later, I'm awakened for another pot :P trip by PIG mum beginning her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before dashing off for her half day's work. After dearest dad retucks me back into bed, says he'll cook me sth for lunch and stay quiet so I can snore in peace, before returning to sleep 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 happily cuddle Uber and snore, waking twice more for the pot :P before Nisha announces her arrival @ 10am. Dad lets her in, she bids me good morning and asks fifteen more minutes? Uber nods @ her and she wisely disappears. XD

• After fifteen more minutes, I call out to Nisha that I'm hungry and swing myself over to the pot :P for several more tinkles. Nisha says she's coming; just getting some gloves first. We get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Thanks to Nisha who squirts me some toothpaste; Ela enjoys her final break this week. XD After drinking one cup of water, I sit 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 head out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast. Thanks to dad who cooked some ham and eggs; thanks also to Nisha who tried to cook the bread yummy with butter and added one slice of cheese for me. Over and after breakfast, I read for thirty minutes the book club novel, reaching pg. 150 @ exactly 11:15am.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
