Saturday Post 306

 Good afternoon! Firstly, my final, final plodding total for Friday's actually 4368 (so yay for passing four thousand but boo for the Broncos losing despite holding an 8-0 lead @ half time ><) today I've been hard @ work plodding 2950 steps; thirdly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's 'Faith That Blesses'; fourthly, John Piper's daily devotional topic's 'Make Sure Satan Knows His defeat';fifthly, TWFT topic's 'A Heart Of Flesh'; sixthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic from last night's 'Permanent Address' and  seventhly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Chatty Bus' but eighthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-FIVE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm bulletin (Seven's) for the FIFTIETH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:05am, and after one pot :P trip I fell back straight back asleep xoz I was certain PIG mum would get noisy exactly one hour later!
• Like clockwork, one hour later, noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs, which wakes me again for another pot :P trip, after which 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* 
• Around 7:30am PIG mum comes to hit me with the eye goo before heading off for her morning's work; thanks to her who even wrapped Era's thumb up, even though I'd originally asked her could she please do that when she got home that arvo!
• After dearest dad retucks Pandan and me into bed, promises to leave me some rice leftovers for lunch and also to stay quiet so that Uber and I can happily snore in peace, before falling back asleep 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*
• Nature calls twice before Nisha arrives @ 10am; the first time @ 8:45am and the second time @ 9:55am. After Nisha arrives, she knocks the door, enters, says good morning, offers fifteen more minutes and then wisely leaves when Pandan nods his head @ her.
• Once my fifteen more minutes are up, I call to Nisha that I'm hungry and swing myself over to the pot :P for one tinkle, calling again and threatening I'll go back to bed and demand another fifteen more minutes should she not come. XD Nisha gets me kitted and I head over to brush teeth.
• Teeth brushed, I drink one mug of water and 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!]
• Thanks to dad who left me some ham and eggs for breakfast; thanks to Nisha who added one slice of cheese for me and tried to cook the bread yummy. I drank my first mug of white tea with two sugars and happily read The Silver Brumby for thirty minutes.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
