Saturday Post 447

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2278 steps; secondly, j ohn Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "God's Most Successful Setback' thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Who Advises You? (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Just Enough' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY-FIVE MINUTES online should I get to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 203RD time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature called @ 6:20am when noisy PIG mum began her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs and after one pot :P trip I fell back asleep right away, since I knew for sure she'd get very noisy one hour later!
• Only for some reason PIG mum started noisily a-THUMPING around again @ 7:05am? I used the pot :P again, before 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 7:25am (it was previously 7:30am; wonder why she leaves earlier now?) PIG mum let herself into my room and hit me with the eye goo before rushing out for her half-day's work. Once 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, pretended to suck Pearl's six pearls, laughed when Pearl bodyslammed him for the cheek, said he'd leave me some rice leftovers for lunch and promised to stay quiet so that Pearl and I could happily snore in peace, we did exactly just that, me waking twice more for the pot :P until Nisha announces her arrival @ 10am.
• After dad lets her in, she knocks, pushes open the door and goes, "Fifteen more minutes?" Pearl was rather offended that she didn't bid us good morning first, but since he's anatomically incompatible to give them Bear Bum, I just nodded him @ Nisha and she wisely left. XD
• After counting down my fifteen more minutes, I call out to Nisha that I'm hungry and swing myself to the pot :P for two more tinkles. Nisha comes; we share about our week as we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth. That done, I drink one mug of water, sit over the loo proper and 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 his weekly ham and eggs and thanks to Nisha who adds one slice of cheese for me, even though she doesn't know how to cook the bread yummy. XD I enjoy my first mug of white tea with two sugars and happily read for thirty minutes first up, reaching pg. 175 @ 11:06.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
