Monday Post 470

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2837 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Long-Awaited Visitation'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Finding Common Ground (3)' and thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Shadow And God's Light" but fourthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-SIX MINUTES online after I get home and Catherine minds me for two hours!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:10am 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*

   

• Nature usually calls hourly after that first daylight pot :P trip but happiness was snoring soundly with Pijum (Pear's gone AWOL! O_o) until dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently along the hallway and unpopped  the lock into the garage before waking for the pot :P again. 

• After dearest dad kisses me goodbye, tries but also can't locate Pearl, retucks me back into bed and leaves for his hard day's work, Pijum and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap 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 finish with only 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 (34TH time I've had to get myself cutlery this year  ><) breakfast was one bowl of Minus :P, 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 washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's 4WD and buckle my seatbelt. After she gets inside also, she tootles us off to Daiso to find a cookie cutter!

• Unfortunately, everyone must have come out Christmas shopping; all the disabled parks are taken! After trying all three levels, PIG mum eventually fins one @ the very end of the outdoor parking outside on level four. *sigh* I haveta cross @ least two pedestrian crossings to reach the air con.

• At Daiso we find this plastic cookie cutter sheet; I'm looking forward to making Mickey  Mouse cookies! 

• Pity PIG mum wouldn't lemme buy a sushi roll for arvo tea.  >< Oh, while catching the escalator, Michelle rang saying Catherine's minding me this arvo~

• Back home, I sat @ the gobbling :P table; suddenly dearest dad Whatsapp video called me! Dad was having lunch @ some shopping centre in Ipswich and obviously couldn't come home for dinner but he's bought me a Christmas tree to decorate! :D
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
