Saturday Post 468

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4056 steps (yay, I'm over four grand; that doesn't happen too often!); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Why We Should Love Our Enemies; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life(1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "For Love's Sake" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and FORTY-FIVE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 78TH time!! Anyways,  events for today?

  • Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until noisy PIG mum woke me with her noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since I knew she'd get very noisy again exactly one hour later!
  • Like clockwork, noisy PIG mum a-THUMPING back upstairs and getting changed for her half-day's work's my wakeup call to use the pot :P again, 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*
  • Around 7:30am, PIG mum lets herself into her room to hit me with the eye goo. Once she's left for her half-day's work, 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, pretends to suck Pearl's SEVEN pearls, laughs his head off when Pearl body slams him for the cheek, says  he'll leave me rice leftovers for Nisha to reheat for my lunch and promises to stay quiet so that Pearl and I may snore in peace, I flip to sleep on my right side, snoring so soundly I don't wake again for the pot :P until dearest dad very thoughtfully walks silenttly along the hallway and unpops the lock for the front door for Nisha's arrival @ 10am!
  • When dad lets Nisha in, she knocks, pushes open the door and just says fifteen more minutes? Pearl's unhappy that she didn't say good morning first, but since he's anatomically incorrect for giving the Bear Bum I just nod him @ Nisha and she wisely leaves. XD
  • Actually, I fall back asleep! But just a very light sleep; once Nisha pushes open the door and asks me, ready?  I awake and use the pot :P for one more tinkle.
  • After we get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth. After drinking one full mug of water, I 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, Nisha heads out with me to the gobbling :P table.
  • Lol, since we've run outta eggs, breakfast is two small but fat slices of PIG mum's banana cake with baked beans and cheese over the top! XD I enjoy my first mug of white tea and happily read the book club novel for thirty minutes, finishing pg. seventy-five @ 10:48am and reaching pg. 100 @ 11:08am.
  • I used the loo for one more tinkle while Nisha closed and locked windows. After climbing into the passenger seat of her car, I buckled my own seatbelt (what I did all day toda) and Nisha tootled us off to Calamvale Central, parking underground and grabbing a shopping trolley for us.

    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
