Thursday Post 443

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 5073 steps (ha, I'm just over half a normal person today XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Triumphant Shame Of The Cross'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Self-Control/Controlling?' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Warning Sounds' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TEN MINUTES online after PIG mum's high school friend pops over!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 7th consecutive awesome sleep last night; that's the 13TH time this year I've achieved one straight week of consecutive awesome sleeps! :D Nature didn't call until PIG mum awoke me with her daily a-THUMPING around this morning @ 6:20am and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since I knew she'd get very noisy again one hour later!
• Precisely one hour later, noisy PIG mum's a-THUMPING around upstairs to get changed for her half day's work's my wakeup call to use the pot :P again. 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* 
• Shortly afterwards, PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Karina's arrival. After she lets Karina inside @ 7:30am, she bolts off for her half-day's work.
• Karina knocks and pushes the door open, bids Pearl and me good morning and says "hitting the snooze button for fifteen more minutes ... Pearl nods @ her and she wisely removes herself, even though poor Pearl's the wrong body type to give the Bear Bum. XD
• When Karina returns, I use the pot :P for three more tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who squirts me some toothpaste.
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for only one tinkle before coming out to the gobbling :P table.
• Breakfast is one bowl of Minus :P, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Thanks to Karina who turns on Sunrise for my viewing pleasure; 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 breakfast, 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 climb into Karina's passenger seat (thanks muchly to her who helps me with my seatbelt all day) and she tootles me off to Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown for my fortnightly shopping trip, finding a side park along level two.
• After one loo trip, I grab the book I was reading last fortnight (Traci Harding's Black Madonna; smart Karina saw the book first), flop into a squashy armchair and happily read another fifty pages, finishing page seventy-five @ 10:14am and finishing pg. 100 @ 10:46am.
• While waiting for Karina to return from the bank (she'd texted me saying she was stuck in line) I posted hello from Facebook. When she came back, I used the loo once then we bought groceries from Woolies, went into New York Baguette for one sausage bun and one custard bun and finished buying groceries from Coles.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
