Thursday Post 473

 Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday actually stands @ 1693; secondly, Joni's devotional topic's from last night's 'Be Prepared'; thirdly, today  I've been hard @ work plodding  steps; fourthly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Jesus Keeps His Sheep'; fifthly, TWFT topic's "Don't  Be Afraid Of Failing (3)' sixthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Really Live' but seventhly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the  143RD time!! Anyways, let's start off with yesterday's events first!

• After lunch, Lena took me to play table tennis! I played with Rhonda, Kim and Gary but pity there wasn't any cake. ><  XD
• Back home I showered my quickest coz Dr. Esther and  David were giving me a lift to the combined GG group social! Yay there was still time for a mug of peppermint tea, one banana and one more loo trip before they arrived~
• We'd ordered takeaway from Rice Paper Vietnamese! The stir fry chicken ho fan (no nuts)( plus a Vietnamese milk tea for me, yum yum! 
• Afterwards, someone walked behind me once to the loo and I managed fine by myself.
• David got the dinner armchair for me; I  sat outside and played the really cool word game like Scattergories! 'Twas hard to not answer when other teams were trying to guess words. XD
• Around 9pm everybody left; Peter Pie and Yu Lam tootled me home.
• Repeat the usual nightly events and zzz~
• Today: yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:10amam when PIG mum's daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs woke me up; 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*
• PIG mum let herself into my room and hit me with the eye goo when suddenly the phone rang! I bet 'twas CODA saying Karina was running late and sure enough, I was correct~ 
• Karina arrived shortly after I'd counted down fifteen more minutes. When she arrived, I immediately used the commode for three more tinkles since I'd already given myself fifteen more minutes and didn't need another fifteen!
• After we gotr me kitted, I went over to the bathroom and brushed teeth. Thanks to her who squirted me some toothpaste.
• Teeth brushed, I sat over the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era and then headed out to the gobbling :P table with Karina.
• Breakfast was one bowl of plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) multigrain toast, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Thanks to Karina who turned on Sunrise for my viewing pleasure, and 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 passenger seat of Karina's car and she tootles me  off to GCCW! I use the loo once on arrival and then find out today we're in Meeting Room Two.
• Ten attended today, and not only did Tammy help me once to the bathroom for morning tea break, she even brought donuts! fter I enjoyed a chocolate one, Daniel got me another one with banana icing! :D I'm just rather creeped out that homework for next topic's writing a eulogy! o_O
• Karina took me once more to the loo and then bought me my gyros from that Pide place; unsure why my Facebook post didn't load? 
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
