Saturday Post 303

 Good afternoon! Firstly, my final, final plodding total from Friday's actually 3667 (ha, I'm over 3.5 grand XD); secondly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3931 steps 9so certain I'll have cracked four grand before the day's out XD); thirdly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "Don't Be Like The Mule'; fourthly, TWFT topic's "The Resurrection: God's 'Sting' Operation" and fifthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Not Do'. Anyways, let's start off with last night's events first!

• At 5:30pm, dad tootled me off to BCAC for the Good Friday service. I used the loo once and then took my preferred spot @ the back, most left. Somone (Lam, maybe?) handed me one of those lil round electric lights.
• Order of service: someone read a Bible passage, we sang a song, repeat. Near the end, Rec. Chris gave a short sermon and led communion afterward.
• Wilfred had invited everyone to head down to A1 and have some tong yuen after the service; Fi/some other female was giving me a hand down when dad suddenly rushed over and said I'm taking you home now else I'll be late for the Canto Good Friday service! But I want tong yuen! I protested. I was walking down to get a cup. Dad says he'll get me some, escorts me back to the car first, gets a cupful and drops me back off home before dashing back to Good Friday service.
• PIG mum feeds me one bowl of rice leftovers for dinner and then sits down @ the sofa to watch the Canto Good Friday service. 
• Which means I can watch the Broncos vs. Panthers match from the comfort of the computer screen, score! PIG mum says I've gotta watch from the sofa and not the computer coz staring @ the screen so closes's bad for your eyes, but I like watching from the computer coz I don't haveta strain my eyes trying to find out how many metres were gained before the 5th tackle kick. I don't even bother trying to read that number anymore; the one time I tried so hard to focus and get the number I gave myself a headache. >< just a pity that the Broncos lost. >< Meaning I've read the official nrl.com match report but won't bother reading any others; when the Broncos win, I read EVERY match report I can find and bask in their glory. XD
• Repeat the usual nightly events, zzz.
• Today: aww, I would've started an awesome sleep streak (four consecutive days) had not stupid nature called once @ 12:40am and then twice @ 1:50am!
• After a third pot :P @ 6:05am, 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* When I finish that's the same time when noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs; once that finishes, I fall back asleep right away since I'm sure she'll get noisy again one hour later!
• Like clockwork, one hour later noisy PIG mum goes a-THUMPING upstairs and gets changed for her half day's work. I awake for another pot :P trip before spending 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 dearest dad retucks me into bed, promises he'll stay quiet and also leave me some leftovers for lunch, Uber and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking twice more for the pot :P before Nisha's expected arrival @ 10am. Instead, the phone rings; I presume it's CODA on-call ringing to say Nisha's late/can't come and decide I'll count myself down fifteen more minutes before calling out to dad and asking where Nisha is.
• With thirty seconds left, Nisha arrives! Even better I'm immediately offered fifteen more minutes: thirty more minutes today, score!
• Another fifteen minutes counted down, I call out to Nisha that I'm hungry and swing myself over to the pot :P for several more tinkles. We get me kitted and then I head over to brush teeth. Thanks to Nisha who squirted me some toothpaste; Ela enjoys her last break for the week.
• After drinking one mug 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 dearest dad who cooked ham and eggs; thanks to Nisha who tried cooking the bread yummy and added one slice of cheese for me. I drank my first big mug of white tea with two sugars and happily read The Silver Brumby for thirty minutes, finishing pg. 111 @ 11:31.
• After using the loo for one more tinkle, I climbed into Nisha's passenger seat. Luckily we checked first - the library's closed over the Easter long weekend and won't reopen until Tuesday!
• Instead, we bought groceries Woolies instead; the sushi shop wasn't open either! Instead, Nisha lemme buy a Mickey Mouse head-shaped meringue from the bakery! 
• Back home, I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Nisha who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Fingers crossed I can bbl, since I'm still owed FIFTY-TWO MINUTES online!!
  Cheers,
