Saturday Post 364

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2288 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from  last night's 'When Another Christian Hurts You'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Don't Get Distracted" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Free In The Spirit' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-FIVE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 105TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:15am 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*
• Shortly afterwards, dad comes to kiss me bye! I sleepily ask him where he's going since PIG mum's now retired and wasn't he gonna take her somewhere today? Dad replies yeah but first I'm going to some uncle's house first and doing sth. After dad goes, 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 dad's left, Pijum, Pearl and I enjoy a MASSIVE snore - I don't wake again for the pot :P until noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs! Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo.
• After Nisha arrives, she knocks, perhaps says good morning but definitely asks fifteen more minutes? Pearl nods @ her and she wisely removes herself, even though Pear's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum. XD
• After counting down my fifteen more minutes, I swing myself over to the pot :P for two more tinkles and loudly announce to Nisha that I'm hungry. She comes, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. 
• After drinking one glass 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. Thanks to dearest dad who's cooked his once-weekly ham and eggs and thanks to Nisha who adds one slice of cheese for me and tries to cook the bread yummy. I also enjoy one big mug of tea white and two  and happily read for thirty minutes, reaching pg. 325 @ exactly 11:11am! 
• While Nisha closed and locked windows I used the loo for one  more tinkle and climbed into her passenger seat, buckling my own seatbelt. Nisha tootled us off to Calamvale Central and got Sparkless3 out for me!
• After buying one box of facial tissues from Woolies, Nisha and I went up and down the shopping mall and I got to WINDOWSHOP! I even ducked into some shop that I'll haveta tell dad about ttonight; everything's made from bamboo! Also, @ the end of Laneway, along the side are some eateries!
• Back home, I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, I headed back outside to the gobbling :P table and Nisha reheated rice leftovers for my lunch with extra oyster sauce. I also enjoyed one more mug of white tea but unfortunately PIG mum told Nisha not to make me a third. >?< *sigh* 
• Dearest dad dropped PIG mum home from the fruit market, back inside, she immediately ordered me off to the loo. I sat over the loo for two more tinkles before Nisha tootled me off to church to play table tennis with dearest dad.
• OMG I'm allowed to use Sparkless3 AGAIN! :D Had a blissful time feeling totally safe; even went willingly to the loo once when dad sent me. Also, he lemme win our match! XD
• Back home, I used the loo for one more tinkle and then headed down to the gobbling :P table to munch my delicious vegie tempura inari and drink one mug of jasmine tea. I also read for awhile longer, taking my total reading time today to 1.25 hours.
• Before returning online, I sit over the loo 
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm bulletin (Nine's) for the 105TH time!
• Toms: just church, nothing special. Would love lunch out with other ESS people afterwards but expecting a pissy little cheeseburger and less than one bag of small chips with dad @ HJ's. *sigh*
• Also expecting a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum. >< *another sigh*
• But dad had better take us out to eat CHINESE food for dinner toms night and gimme ONE bowl of rice!!
• Anyways, hopefully  bbl after dinner, else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
