Thursday Post 368

 Good afternoon! Firstly, my final, final plodding total from Wednesday's actually 3302; secondly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4023 steps (ha, I'm just over four grand; that doesn't happen too often! XD); thirdly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Afraid Of Death No More'; fourthly, TWFT topic's 'Are You Being Sifted?' and fifthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-TWO MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 122ND time!! Anyways, just briefly, let's cover yesterday's events first!

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night; nature didn't call until 7am~
• Saw Ray for some acupuncture and massage, bought groceries @ the Warrigal Square Woolies, went to play table tennis and attended GG last night, seven people came and we did a study from  Nehemiah chapter six~
• Got home, repeat the usual nightly events and zzz~
• Today: nature called around 12:45am last night; I used the pot :P again around 6:30am before immediately falling back asleep since Karina would arrive exactly one hour later!
• Like clockwork, noisy PIG mum going a-THUMPING around @ 7:20am awakes me for another pit :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*
• PIG mum lets herself into my room and hits me with the eye goo just before Karina arrives. Once PIG mum lets her in, she knocks, pushes open the door, says good morning and hitting the snooze button for fifteen more minutes ... I flap Pijum's ear @ her and phew, she wisely removes herself. Phew because Pijum's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear  Bum. XD
• When Karina comes back, I use the loo for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and I head over to brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who's squirted some toothpaste for me. Teeth brush, I sit over the loo, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Karina, rousing @ her AGAIN for skipping breakfast; the bad woman! >< XD
• Breakfast is one bowl of plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast shredded into it, 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 sit once more over the loo. 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 Karina's passenger seat, she kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt (and does all day) then tootles me off to Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtowqn for my fortnightly shopping trip, finding the first disabled park from the library.
• I used the disabled loo for one tinkle, found Colleen MacCullough's Tidelands and happily read for one hour while Karina went to look for the groceries PIG mum was after today. 
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
