Saturday Post 467

 Good afternoon! Firstly, my final, final plodding total from Friday's actually 5831 (ha, I was more than half a normal person yesterday XD); secondly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4025 steps (ha, I'm just over four grand; that doesn't happen too often! XD); thirdly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Seven Sources Of joy'; fourthly, TWFT topic's 'When God Sends You An Angel (1)' and fifthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Thankful Hearts'. Anyways, let's start with last night's events first!

• Once the 6pm bulletin was over, I asked dad please to reheat dinner, used the loo for one tinkle and then sat @ the gobbling :P table waiting for dinner to start!
• Unsure why microwaving rice bowls would take so long but I wolfed down dinner, skipped soup and was seated on the couch by 7:30pm, waiting for the coverage to start! Dad was annoying since he wouldn't lemme raise the footrest until kickoff, but hey.
• Great first half; we ended the first half leading 22-0! I used the loo quickly for one tinkle @ the break and then sat beside dad enjoying the halftime show.
• I was very impressed that just over FIFTY THOUSAND people attended! Was only confused that this was counted as Manly's home game; umm, isn't Suncorp Stadium the Broncos' home ground??
• Aww well @ least Manly grabbed a consolation try in the 78th minute and didn't haveta return home scoreless. XD
• Since we won, I watched Friday night knockoff too before getting myself to bed. Oh, and I rang Aunty Lai last night instead of tonight, explaining that I'm watching Charles' coronation!
• Today: odd ... you'd that not sleeping till nearly 11pm would gimme an awesome night's sleep? Unsure why nature called @ 3am? I prolly got too excited watching the Broncos play last night; my right head's throbbing. ><   Will give it till Monday night to bugger off before resorting to Panadol ...
• When PIG mum woke me for the pot :P with her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs @ 6:20am, after relieving myself I quickly fell back asleep since I knew she get very noisy again one hour later!
• Like clockwork, @ 7:20am, noisy PIG mum noisily a-THUMPS upstairs and gets changed for her her half-day's work. The noises wakes me 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 hits me with the eye goo before leaving for her morning's work. After she leaves, 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*
• Once dearest dad retucks me into bed, says he'll leave Nisha some rice leftyovers for my lunch and promises to stay quiet so that I can snore in peace, one he goes, I inch towards the wall, roll out and sleep on my right side; it's so comfortable that I don't wake again for the pot :P until dearest dad very considerately walked silently along the hallway and unlocks the front door for Nisha's impending arrival @ 10am!
• When Nisha comes in, she knocks, pushes open the door and says "Good morning; fifteen minutes?" Pijum flapa an ear @ her and she wisely leaves, even though Pijum's anatomically incompatible to give the Bear Bum. XD
• Once I've counted down my last fifteen minutes, I swing myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle and call out to Nisha that I'm hungry. 
• We get me kitted and I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Nisha who squirts the toothpaste tube for me.
• After brushing teeth, I drink one mug of water and then sit over the loo proper. 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 dad who cooked his weekly eggs for breakfast, but I'd prefer that with ham and not TUNA. XD I also drink my first mug of white tea and two sugars and ask Nisha to please massage Ela.
• After one more tinkle, I climb into Nisha's passenger seat, buckle my seatbelt and Nisha tootles us off to Calamvale Central, parking underground and grabbing a trolley for us.
• At Woolies I grab a box of cheap facial tissues and then I try buy a new inari from the new sushi shop straight out from the elevator! Today I chose the inari topped with jellyfish but I wanna try the inari with the veggie tempura next Saturday!
• Back home I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Nisha who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, I headed outside to keep playing Jewel Quest, while Nisha reheated lunch for me and cleaned the bathroom before having her own lunch - a sausage roll with chicken kebab filling! It looked so odd I took a photo of it. XD
• Before Nisha tootled me off to church I sat over the loo for two more tinkles.
• Dad hadn't arrived yet but I signed Nisha off with my thanks and byes. She's back same time next week.
• When dad arrived, we played a few games together. I needed the loo between games and unfortunately experienced a lil lbl before reaching the toilet ... >< Perhaps I need to Google how to strengthen pelvic floor muscles?
• Back home I asked PIG mum for help. After getting changed I had my jellyfish inari for arvo tea - delicious! I also drank one big mug of peppermint tea.
• After one more loo trip, I popped online.
• Listening to Charles' coronation thing right now; coverage started @ 5pm but apparently he'll not get crowned until like 9pm so hopefully I'll see that.
• Toms: just church, nothing special. Would love lunch out with other ESS people but expecting a pissy little sth with dad @ Hungry Jack's before enduring a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum. ><
• But dad had better take us ot to eat CHINESE food for dinner and gimme ONE bowl of rice!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
