Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2432 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'What Makes God Proud'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Keys To Answered Prayer (1)'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Confident In God' and fifthly, the spam count for the weekend's only six. Righteo, events for today?
- Aww, just like last night, nature already called once before midnight but then called again @ 2:50am! Haveta remind myself I shan't mind, coz for the past three years I've managed twenty-five weeks of one straight week of consecutive awesome sleeps, so I shan't mind what I can achieve now because @ least I know I'm *capable* of doing that~
- Nature called again around 6:35am, and after another pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep, since I knew PIG mum would get very noisy less than one hour later!
- Like clockwork, @ 7:10am PIG mum goes a-THUMPING around upstairs and wakes me 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*
- Soon, PIG mum's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me very slightly with not only the bra strap but also the tee (since dearest dad's @ home) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first. She comes back to help with absolutely nothing except Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth (poor Ela). That done, I sit over the loo for just one tinkle, coming out when PIG mum demands I eat breakfast for her first.
- Impressive: apart from having bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) two Weet-Bix with a tiny stream of honey for breakfast, PIG mum even feeds me one lil slice of cheesecake that she spent the night baking! She demanded I try a nibble first; I complied but after she went upstairs and changed I stuffed it all into my gob with one mouthful coz it was so delicious!! XD I also popped all my usual drugs :P and drank 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*

After washing and drying Era, I sit inside the house and await Fi's arrival. Once she arrives, I climb into her passenger seat. As I'm climbing in, C1 greets me brightly, "Good morning, Aunty Em!" I say good morning back and then turn around and wave good morning @ Callum, who just looks @ me sleepily; I don't think he's fully awake yet! Mummy Fi tells him off and threatens to go home but Callum whines and reluctantly groans out good morning Aunty Em. XD
At the Lung residence, Fi helps me down the steep driveway, Reverend Chris appears to make sure I mount the huge step to his place safely (once I overbalanced and would've stacked it had he not grabbed me) and Pastor Grace directed me towards some comfy armchair and then made me one mug of English breakfast tea, white and two.
Seven people attended this morning; we did another study from the '12 Apostles'. I munched three Tim Tams but avoided the banana slices. XD
SG over, Fi dropped me back off @ BCAC where dad was already waiting for me. I used the loo once and then grabbed my usual spot for service.
Yay, got to stay seated for worship today. Sang everything, plus the harmony for both songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
Speaker today was Reverend Chris with his third from five sermons of his min. series.
Dr. Lee remembered to find me and gimme the bag from his mum! I've promised Aunty Rebecca that I'll definitely remind mother that it's Dr. Lee's birthday this month and doesn't she want to give him some chocolate? XD
After I used the loo once more, dad tootled us off to the Rochedale Maccas for lunch. Another pissy little Happy Meall for me, while dad got himself a double beef and bacon bun. I remember I used to get that sometimes before brain injury!
Lunch over, dad tootled me home, I used the loo once for one tinkle and popped online. Dad's gone to play baddy and have arvo tea with his mates; presume PIG mum's hit pigland upstairs?
