Friday Post 443

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1621 steps (ha, I'm over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's '7 Reasons Not To Worry, Part 2'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "When You're Not Certain, Trust God'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's Kingdom-Shaped Workplace' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-TWO MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the  153RD time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 7th consecutive awesome sleep last night, meaning I've scored my 9th week of consecutive awesome sleeps, yay! Nature didn't call until 7:10am 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* Actually, since PIG mum’s overseas holidaying, I’m using the time to recharge my mental batteries and prepare for another year with her @ the helm! XD
• Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before dearest dad lets himself into my room to gimme some eye goo.
• Peggy arrives @ 8:45am; after dad lets her in, she knocks, pushes open the door and calls good morning. When I nod Pearl @ her she announces fifteen more minutes. Another nod from Pearl and she thankfully withdraws, saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
• When Peggy comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who's already squirted some toothpaste for me. Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then walk out to the gobbling :P table with Peggy, who told me she had her two usual hardboiled eggs for breakfast.
• For my breakfast, I had three dry (no honey) broken-up Weet-Bix with one full mug of water, one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast THICKLY spread with avocado (thanks Peggy XD) and lightly spread with salt and all my usual drugs. :P 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, Peggy accompanies me back to the bathroom. 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 Auto (pronounced Alto) and Peggy tootles us off to Calamvale Central. Thanks to her who kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt both ways. She parks underground and grabs a trolley for us.

Cheers,

• Em. ^^
