Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4452 steps (nice, I don't get past 4000 steps too often); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Gain What You Cannot Lose'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Gift Of Confession' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Love Beyond Counting'. Anyways, events for today?
- Lol, last night was a rare night when nature called not once but twice, both times with a full bladder! Only I don't remember drinking more than usual last night?
- When nature called around 6:10am I used the pot :P for another tinkle before 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*
- Usually nature calls hourly after that first daylight pot :P trip, but happiness is snoring soundly with Pijum until dearest dad very thoughtfully walks silently along the hallway and unpops the lock into the garage before waking again for the pot. :P
- After dearest dad kisses me bye, retucks me back into bed, pretends to suck Pearl's SEVEN pearls (he found Pearl!!), laughs his head off when Pearl body slams him for the cheek and leaves for his hard day's work, Pijum and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly befopre PIG mum begins her usual daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor Elf a very brief rub (since she wouldn't last night) before giving me fifteen more minutes.
- When Lena arrives fifteen minutes later, I use the loo for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head outsidew to the gobbling :P table with Lena, who told me that she had some kinda healthy cereal for breakfast.
- For my own breakfast, I munched one bowl of chocolate Tiny Teddy cereal, popped all my usual drugs :P and drank 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 the passebger seat of Lena's car. She kindly helps me with my seatbelt all day and then tootles me off to Sunnybank Hills for a grocery shopping trip since GCCW resumes this Thursday and I'll not shop then!
- Lena does a clever side park along level two, grabs a trolley for us and then takes me once to the loo before we begin shopping.
- First, we buy groceries from Coles before coming back downstairs and getting groceries from Woolies. Then, while Lena puts things back into the car, I quickly post an update onto Facebook.
- At the library, I was gonna try start with a Lian Hearn book for 2024 but the fantasy sticker caught my eye, a book by someone called David HAIR! It's called Hearts Of Ice and after reading for one hour I've only reached page twelve since there was a really long prologue where the pages were lettered.
- After one more loo trip, Lena tootled me back to Pinelands Bakehouse where she said stay inside the car; I'll get you the bahn mi because you're running outta time. Only she came back and said they wouldn't open until TOMORROW! O_o I quickly Googled 'bahn mi near me'; Rice Paper Vietnamese said they sold some, I rang them to make sure.
- But when Lena went to get me some, she came back saying there were none?! "I still need lunch!" I screeched! Phew, Lena said I could get some rice paper rolls instead and I picked the cheapest chicken ones.
- Back home, I took my quickest possible shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Lena who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
- Back outside, lunch was three of the four rice paper rolls since PIG mum demanded I leave one for arvo tea. Lena went and cleaned the bathroom and then passed me one big mug of green tea from the powder Aunty Nga gave me.
- After she left @ 2pm I finished lunch, used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
- Once I've used up my most important two hours of the day online, I'll head over to the gobbling :P table for arvo tea and read Ghosts Of The Past for one hour.
- Looking forward to watching the 6pm news (Seven's) for the 9th time; Steph has given me permission not to join our Toastmasters Zoom meeting until 7pm!
- Toms: Bree's minding me 4-6pm. Wonder what PIG mum'll do with me toms? Table tennis hasn't resumed yet, see.
- Then fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 10TH time!
- Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
