Saturday Post 470

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4742 steps (sweet I'm even over 4.5 grand; that doesn't happen often! XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Strength To Wait With Patience'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Refuse To Live In Fear (1)'; fourthly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Quiet Your Heart' and fifthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Small But Great' but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and SEVENTEEN MINUTES  online after dinner tonight!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Nature called around 1:30am this morning; I used the pot again around 7:30am 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*
  • Pearl and I enjoy my once-weekly sleep-in, me waking twice more for the pot. :P After the second pot :P 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*

  • Nisha announces her arrival @ 10am. After I count down my last fifteen minutes, I call I'm hungry and swing myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle. Nisha comes, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. After drinking one 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, I head out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast. Since poor dad's unwell, he's not cooked his usual once-weekly ham and eggs, but instead PIG mum's baked a cheesecake and cheesecake for breakfast can't be wrong! XD
  • Over breakfast, I happily read Spare for thirty minutes, finishing pg. 275 @ 10:58am.
  • While Nisha closed and locked windows, I used the loo for one more tinkle and then climbed into the passenger seat of her car and buckled my own seatbelt (what I did all day).
  • At Calamvale Central, Nisha parked underground, grabbed a trolley for us and we began shopping @ the Mega Discount Fruit Market before continuing @ Woolies.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
