Monday Post 321

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2878 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Suffering That Crushes Faith'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'You Are Commanded To Love (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'In This Together' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY-SIX MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm bulletin for the 118TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:30am and after one 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* 
  • Nature usually calls hourly after that initial pot :P trip, but happiness was sleeping soundly and not waking again for the pot :P until dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently along the hallway and unpopped the lock into the garage. After dearest dad kisses me bye, retucks me back into bed and leaves for his hard day's work, Uber and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before returning outside and awaiting the new carer's arrival.
  • Fina's from Africa somewhere coz she's chocolate coloured from Azerbaijan! ! She's a single mum with two girls: the older one's seventeen and there younger one's like eleven but has autism. Meaning she's academically brilliant but socially awkward. Lol, we missed guessing each others' ages by five years; I guessed she was forty but she said nope forty-five and she guessed I was thirty but I replied nope thirty-five. XD Oh, and she lives around Wynnum.
  • After getting me kitted, I went over to the bathroom and brushed teeth. Thanks to Fina who squirted me some toothpaste; Ela enjoys starting the week with a break from having to hold the toothbrush~ Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for only one tinkle, coming out when PIG mum demanded that I eat breakfast for her first.
  • Breakfast is one bowl of Minus :P with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast with avocado smeared and salt sprinkled over the top, all my usual drugs :P and 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*
  • Breakfast finished, I sit once more 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 climbed into Fina's passenger seat and she tootled me off to Underwood MarketPlace and grocery shopping. Yay that she grabs a trolley for us after she finds a park out the front entrance.
  • Lol Woolies are outta cheap tissues! Instead, we just sit outside foodcourt until PIG mum Whatsapps me that she's driving home and that she's arrived home. After Fina buys a veggie tempura sushi roll for me, I climb back into her car and she tootles me home.
  • We arrive home the same time as dearest dad!
  • I head into the bathroom for my nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Fina who helps me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Whoops outta time so just super-briefly:
  • Saw Aunty Anna for some massage and acupuncture. PIG mum's soporific voice nearly put me to sleep again but I managed to stay awake - just. XD
  • Came home, ate my yummy sushi roll for arvo tea, drank one warm mug of sth and happily read CVonversations With God Book One for one hour, 

     

    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
