Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4275 steps (sweet, that doesn't happen too often!); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Truer Knowledge Brings Greater Joy' and thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Be Passionate About It! (3)' but fourthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm bulletin for the 58TH time!! Anyways, events for today?
- Nature called around 1:50am last night; somehow I managed to sleep through PIG mum's daily a-THUMPING around upstairs @ 6:20 and didn't wake for the pot :P again until 7:20am, when she went a-THUMPING upstairs and got changed for her half-day's work! After this second 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*
- At 7:30am, PIG mum lets herself into my room, quickly hits me with some eye goo and then bolt's off for her half day's work. After she's gone, 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 dearest dad retucks me back into bed, says he'll leave me sth for lunch and promises to keep quiet, I cuddle Uber and happily snore, me waking twice more for the pot :P before Nisha arrives. She gives me fifteen more minutes; after I've counted that down I swing myself over to the pot :P and call out to Nisha that I'm hungry.
- We get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Ela enjoys her last break from having to hold the toothbrush. 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 NO
- Thanks to dad who cooks ham and eggs for breakfast and thanks to Nisha who cooks the bread yummy and adds one slice of cheese for me. I drink my first big mug of white tea with two sugars and happily read Silver Brumbies Of The South happily for thirty minutes, reaching pg. 325 @ 11:02am.
Cheers,
Em. ^^
