Friday Post 438

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3136 steps (ha, I'm over three grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Our Weakness Reveals His Worth'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'You Can Overcome The Temptation (1)'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "A Child's Hope" and fifthly, even though I've used this  new e-mail address for just over one month I've still not got any spam yet but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-SIX MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 147TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:05am 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*

  • Shortly after 9am, nature calls again. After another pot :P trip, sleep doesn't return before noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs and soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Mercy's arrival @ 9:30am.
  • After PIG mum lets Mercy in, Mercy knocks, opens the door and calls out goood morning. When I flop one of Pijum's ear @ her, Mercy asks fifteen more minutes? Another earflop from Pijum and Mercy leaves; phew, since  Pijum's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
  • When Mercy comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted before I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I walk out to the gobbling :P table with Mercy.
  • Breakfast is one bowl of plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) multigrain toast, 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 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 Mercy's car and she tootles us off to Underwood Park for a hike around the duck pond! Thanks to her who helps me buckle my seatbelt all day
  • At the Park, Mercy snaps photos for me @ the entrance and then we hike all the way around to the sunlounges, where I spend one happy hour Facebooking and playing the HP version of Bejeweled; I pass another two/three levels!
  • Our other stop before leaving's the Warrigal Square Woolies for groceries; Mercy grabs a trolley for us and also buys herself a container of mini croissants for her own lunch.
  • Back home I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks too Mercy who helped me rinse out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. Have I said yet? Mercy's only twenty-five, from Kenya and studying her MBA!
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted lunch is one bowl of rice leftovers and one huge mug of peppermint tea.
  • At 1:55pm I sit over the loo for two more tinkles and then say my thanks and byes to Mercy @ 2pm, who's got a sleepover shift tonight! Mercy lives in Thornlands, wherever that is~
  • Dorrie came and made chicken pie with me! PIG mum came downstairs exactly one hour later and shooed her away then finished the pie herself while I munched a banana and half a tasty rice cracker for arvo tea. I also happily read for one hour, reaching pg. 275 @ 3:52pm.
  • One loo trip and tinkle for me before I plopped online.
  • Toms: fingers crossed PIG mum helps me up before 9:45am ...
  • Wonder will dad take us to play table tennis @ church? Mostly I'm just hoping he'll take us to a proper restaurant for lunch!
  • Perhaps I can read for three hours toms? Dad's got all his badminton mates over for dinner and PIG mum's gonna try make some flan!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
