Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1119 steps (phew that I'm over one grand but why couldn't I have plodded eight steps fewer? 1111 would've looked cooler! XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Truer Knowledge Brings Greater Joy'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Moving From Failure To Success (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'God-Given Gifts'. Anyways, events for today?
- Woo hoo, 8th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:35am 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*
- Pijum, Pearl and I all happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P just after 9am shortly before noisy 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 not only the bra strap but the tee (since dearest dad's still @ home) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
- PIG mum returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar 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 for breakfast, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
- Breakfast was one bowl of the yummier (flaky) bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) scattered with a very light sprinkling of Minus :P over the top, 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 gooMichelle rings back saying Verena will come @ 11:15pm; acd 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 loo, again 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 sit outside the front door and wait for Nisha's arrival.
- Only she doesn't arrive! o_O PIG mum leaves me the home phone and rushes out for her pilates class. I start ringing CODA and thanks to dearest dad who comes home and waits with me; he's doing stuff inside the garage while I'm playing the HP version of Bejeweled on my mobile; I've passed three levels today! Which prolly means I'll not pass another level for the next three days. XD
- Michelle rings back saying Verena will come @ 11:15am and she actually arrives @ 11:12am. I quickly use the bathroom for one more tinkle while dad hands stuff over (keys, shopping list, etc.) stuff to Verena.
- Thanks to Verena who helps me buckle my seatbelt before she tootles us off to Pinelands Plaza. Haven't seen her for absolutely ages and it's lovely catching up with her!
- At Pinelands Plaza she grabs a trolley for us before we buy groceries @ Coles.
- Whoops only fifteen minutes left, so just briefly:
- Bought my once-weekly crackling pork bahn mi from Pinelands Bakehouse; Verena shouted us both a Vietnamese iced coffee! :D
- Got home and showered - hairwash today. Also thanks to Verena who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
- Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was my delicious bahn mi plus one big mug of white tea with one big spoonful of honey~
- Wrote Mother's Day card for PIG mum then sat over the loo for two more tinkles before signing Verena off with my thanks and byes. She's back and taking me to GCCW Thursday!
- Once I've used up the most important two hours of the day online I'll use the loo for one tinkle and then sit to read for one hour. I've nearly finished the Kylie Chan novel but Verena found me a new book to read this arvo!
- Looking forward to watching the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 97TH time!
- Toms: PIG mum's off playing baddy with her mates; hopefully dearest dad and I can watch Kung Fu Panda 3 together!
- Nisha's taking me to table tennis toms arvo; fingers crossed for cake!
- Looking forward to watching the 6pm news for the 98TH time before I attend GG!
- Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
