Sunday Post 291

 Good afternoon!  Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2014 steps (ha, I'm just over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Command That Creates'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Growing Through Criticism'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'A Gaze Fixed On God' and fifthly, the spam count for the weekend's just three. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until noisy PIG mum woke me with her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs; after one pot :P trip I immediately fall back asleep again since I'm certain she'll get very noisy again exactly one hour later!
• Yup, like clockwork, noisy PIG mum STOMPING back upstairs exactly one  hour later wakes me for another pot :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 @ 7:30am to hit me with the eye goo and help esceedingly slightly with not only the bra strap but the tee (since dearest dad's @ home; you can bet she won't help toms) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum comes back and finishes with nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry both hands and then head out to the gobbling :P table with PIG mum.
• Breakfast is one of those little chicken buns I recently helped mother make, 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 toilet, 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 car and buckle my seatbelt. She tootles me off to church, parking outside the hall and I hike up the ramp and use the normal loo for one tinkle because the disabled loo lid's closed and horrid PIG mum won't lift it for me. *sigh*

• Once I grab my usual spot for ESS PIG mum leaves for CM.

• Yay, I get to stay seated for worship today. I sing everything, plus the harmony for all four songs but like every other week mean absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*

• Speaker today's someone called Timothy Chan; his sermon topic was 2024 Reflections.

• After service, I used the loo again and then went to sit outside the hall, coz that's where Yu Lam said she'd be! Thanks to PIG mum who got me one packet of Arnott's bikkies and one warm cup of milk tea.

• Like thirteen people had lunch @ Ming Chinese Restaurant; formerly Gwong Zhou Lou! I love how instead of yuck cha you can order a plate of noodle/rice plus a cold drink for like $18.50! I chose the chicken ho fan with a milk tea~

• I had to hike up fourteen steps to reach the restaurant (thankfully there were handrails along both sides) but when I left Rosanna said she'd just drive her car round to the front. Dr. Lee kept me company while I waited and leant against the rail. I asked him was he going out with Rosanna? (Earlier he'd said he'd taken some photos of her); when he replied yes I warned him he'd better treat Rosanna good. Dr. Lee samiled and said I will and I replied yeah I know you will coz you're a gwai zai. Then we just both laughed. XD

• Back home I used the loo for one tinkle 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.

• PIG mum has said don't disturb me; I'm sleeping (on the couch); after I've used up my most important two hours of the day I'll head over and read Enid Blyton's memoirs for one hour.

• Fingers crossed dad takes us out for Chinese food tonight!

• Toms: think I'm seeing Aunty Anna for some massage? No acupuncture; I've having my monthlies right now. Will prolly just fall asleep. XD

• Hope PIG mum takes us grocery shopping before we come home for lunch with dearest dad else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.

• Rebecca's minding me from 4-6. Fingers crossed I'll get  to read Enid Blyton's memoirs for another hour~

• Then hopefully I'll get to watch the 6pm news for the 13TH time!

• Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
