Saturday Post 434

 Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total was slightly over 4.5 grand (but I'll not record what happened last night since the Broncos conceded FORTY points @ least to the Storm! >< XD); secondly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3814 steps; thirdly, john Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'What The Resurrection Means For Us'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'How 2B Blessed @ Work (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Radiant Drifters' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed  online after I get back home tonight!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Nature called once around 2:30am last night; when noisy PIG mum woke me with her daily noisy a-THUMPING around @ 6:20am I used the pot :P again and immediately fell back asleep since I knew for certain she'd get very noisy again one hour later!
  • Like clockwork, noisy PIG mum going a-THUMPING upstairs and getting changed for her half day's work was my wakeup call 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*
  • At 7:30am, PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before rushing 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*
  • Dearest dad comes into my room and retucks me into bed, promises to stay quiet so that Uber and I may snore in peace and says he'll leave me some leftovers for lunch. I happily fall back asleep, waking twice more for the pot :P before Nisha arrives @ 10am.
  • After my fifteen more minutes, I call I'm hungry to Nisha and swing myself over to the pot :P once more for three tinkles. We get me kitted and I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth; Ela enjoys her last break this week from having to hold the toothbrush.
  • Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo proper after drinking one mug of water. 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's cooked ham and eggs and thanks to Nisha who tries to cook the bread yummy and adds one slice of cheese for me. I enjoy my first mug of white tea with two sugars and happily read for thirty minutes first up, reaching pg. 175 @ 11:24am.
  • While Nisha closes and locks windows, I use the loo for one more tinkle before climbing into her passenger seat. Nisha tootles us off to Calamvale Central for facial tissue box and sushi buying, parking outside the bakery even though I don't see the owner uncle @ work.
  • Surprise, there were facial tissues available! I bought two, plus a veggie tempura sushi for arvo tea.
  • Back home, I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Thanks also to Nisha who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • After getting dried, creamed and rekitted, I headed back outside to the gobbling :P and Nisha microwaved a MASSIVE bowl of rice leftovers for my lunch! I also drank two more mugs of white tea with two sugars and kept reading till 1:45pm, before I used the loo once more for two tinkles @ 1:45pm.
  • Dad came home, signed Nisha off (she's back same time next week) and tootled me off to church to play ping pong with him.
  • We played three rounds today; the first two without break. About nine people came today.
  • Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle and then headed down to the gobbling :P table and munched my delicious veggie tempura sushi for arvo tea. Also, Sam Cheung suddenly rang the doorbell and gave me this orange envelope saying his parents told him to deliver that to dad and that the deadline's tonight? I yelled this information upstairs to mother and left the information on the gobbling :P table. Oh, and I finished the first Conversations With God book @ 4:41pm!

  • Used the loo for one more tinkle before plopping online.
  • Going out for our once-weekly family dinner out tonight instead of toms night coz dad's got sth happening Sunday night.
  • Toms: just church, nothing special. Oh, the special thing's that after service both PIG mum and I are joining the welcome back lunch for Hailey! Anyways, hopefully bbl after dinner else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
    Cheers,Em. ^^
