Tuesday Post 441

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2017 steps (ha, I'm just over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Shadows And Streams'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'You Are protected By God' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Look More Like Jesus' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-SEVEN MINUTES online (same as yesterday, lol) after I get home from NAB physio this arvo!!  Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature actually called once just before midnight but then I slept soundly until woken by PIG mum's noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs @ 7:10am before waking for the pot. :P again, after whichI 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*
• Around 9am the doorbell rings? Shortly afterwards, PIG mum lets 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 @ home) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first. I also asked her who rang the doorbell this morning; turns out Aunty Emily was delivering some fish fillets PIG mum had ordered off her!
• Dad comes back to finish with Elf's AFO straps and both laces before 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 walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
