Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've beebn hard @ work plodding 2956 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Authentic Vs. Phony Faith'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Refuse To Live In Fear (2); fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Only What The Spirit Can Do'and fifthly, the spam count for the weekend's already nine. Anyways, events for today?
- Nature called once around 1:10am; I used the poot :P again this morning @ 6:20am when PIG mum's daily noisy a-THUMPING around woke me up; after this second pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since I knew she'd get very noisy again one hour later!
- Like clockwork, noisy PIG mum going a-THUMPING back upstairs awakes me again for the pot :P, 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 lets herself into the room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with not only the bra strap but the tee before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
- PIG mum comes back to help with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, 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.
- After getting myself a spoon (16th time this year I've had to get myself cutlery), breakfast is one bowl of plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast, 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 climb into the backseat of PIG mum's 4WD and buckle my seatbelt. She tootles us off to church and parks beneath the hall; I hike up the ramp and use the normal ladies loo's first cubicle, because the disabled loo lid's down and horrid PIG mum won't open it for me. Actually, the first cubicle's loo lid was down too and I was just gonna ask the lady who'd vacated the cubicle could she please lift it vack up for me when PIG mum suddenly baged past her and lifted it! Lol, is she trying to show the aunty what a 'good' mum she is? XD
- After washing and drying Era, I grab my usual spot for service. PIG mum bolts upstairs for CM.
- Yay, I get to stay seated for worship again today. I sing everything, plus the harmony for two songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
- Speaker today was Peter, but not our Peter! His sermon topic was Singing From The Heart'.
- After service, I used the disabled loo myself once, grabbed a packet of MSG crackers for morning tea and took a seat.
- When 'twas time for the meeting, PIG mum walked up behind me into the main hall and I took my preferred spot on the most left.
- Peter Pie chaired the meeting. First, he got Mid Chow to give a financial report before she took questions. I asked first: since we're a church and not some performing band, where does our income come from? Answer: offerings!
- Dr. Esther walked behind me down to behind the hall, where aunties had cooked lotsa noodles for our lunch! Kalos even got me a red bean lor mai chee (say that in Canto)! But the cutest was Harry's four-year-olg granddaughter; during the meeting, she'd leaned forward and whispered to me, "Why do you like the Minions so much?" and afterwards, she was handing out chopsticks to everyone! When I said sorry I can't use chopsticks can you please find me a fork she got a wooden one from somewhere for me!
- I rang PIG mum for pickup when people started clearing tables away; Dr. Esther started walking behind me and PIG mum found us when we reached the building's back. She was mean and refused to take me to Red Rooster to share the buy one get one free deal; I've blamed her for RUINING MY INTERNATIONAL BURGER DAY. >< *grr*
- Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era and then walked myself slowly and safely back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
- Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day, I'll watch the Broncos match from yesterday since they won!
- Pretty sure dad know owes us THREE dinners out coz he won't tonight since he's still got mouth ulcers, the poor thing ...
- Toms: hope PIG mum helps me up before 9:45am ... don't think Rebecca's coming until 12:15pm and taking me to the NAB for physio.
- She'll see me home and showered before leaving @ 4pm; I'm looking forward to reading Spare for one hour (think I've nearly finished it!) and watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 87TH time!
- Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
