Tuesday Post 448

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1360 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'How To Contemplate Calamity'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'What Do You See? (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Beating As One'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 5am 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* 
  • I awake for the pot :P again around 7:45am and wonder why dad isn't leaving for work yet and then realise: today's the second make-up public holiday!
  • Around 9am I'm awakened again for the pot :P when noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs; soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with not only the bra strap but the tee (since dearest dad's still @ home) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes and using the pot :P once more first.
  • PIG mum comes back to help with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO staps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Yesterday I unwrapped a new electric toothbrush but it's not been charged yet since PIG mum's charging my new mobile first.
  • Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • Breakfast is another of the yummy pork floss and shallot buns PIG mum made for Min's and my lunch for Christmas day, 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*

  •   After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the loo, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. 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 into the garage and brace against dad's 4WD, waiting for PIG mum to unlock the door so I could climb into the backseat.
  • Today dad drove us to Raby Bay; it's thirty minutes away! When I commented to dad that the sand was nice along Surfers Paradise in the Gold Coast, dad laughed and explained that's because the sand @ Raby Bay was trucked in; the Surfer's Paradise sand's actually the shoreline!
  • PIG mum took me once to the loo and then I hiked all the way back to where had fired up the barbie.
  • As expected, lunch was sparse but yummy. I had one slice of bread with half a sausage inside, one slice of orange and one slice of pork. Before eating Erf had kicked off her shoe and Era peeled off her sock; dad took me for a wander along the waterline and PIG mum filmed it!
  • Once dad drove us home I took a nice warm shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud. Actually, I was all done after only 10% but happily leaned fully against the side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling PIG mum back.
  • After she dried my back and the back of the chair for mee, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
  • After drying the loo lid, I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, washed and dried Era and then walked myself slowly and safely back out to the gobbling :P table, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • Arvo tea was another wee slice of PIG mum's birthday cheesecake and one yummy mug of Chinese tea.
  • Before plopping online I used the loo for one tinkle.
  • Toms: seeing Ray for some acupuncture and massage @ 11am; he's back from his holidays! Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him. XD
  • Apparently Kim's minding me from 4-6? PIG mum said when Kim was here last, she said cya next Wednesday when she left. When she leaves tomorrow, I'd liked to ask her what happened to Amy coz when Michelle came for her yearly review recently she said she used to look after her?
  • Ooh hoping I can watch the 6pm bulletin for the 210TH time!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone else a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
    P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news (Seven's) for the 209TH time:
