Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1585 steps (ha, I'm just over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Medicine For The Missionary'; thirdly, TWFT topic's' 'Bring Your Problems To Jesus' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Born Again?' Anyways, events for today?
- Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:05am and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since I knew PIG mum would get very noisy one hour later!
- Like clockwork, PIG mum's noisy daily a-THUMPING around upstairs precisely @ 7:05am wakes me for another pot :P trip, after which 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 lets herself into my room @ 7:15am to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap and 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.
- PIG mum comes back to finish with only Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Actually, huge thanks to her whoo'd brought my electric toothbrush back into the bathroom since I'd clean forgotten to last night! XD
- Teeth brushed, 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.
- Breakfast is one bowl of the less yummy (so sticky) bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) with one slice of dry (unbuttered) 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 walk myself slowly and safely back to the bathroom, 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 climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt. She climbs inside the car also and then tootles us off to church, parking outside the hall. I haul myself up the tamp, use the second cubicle of the normal ladies toilet for one tinkle (since both the disabled and the first cubicle in the normal ladies toilet have closed lids but mean PIG mum won't lift them for me), wash and dry both hands and then grab my useful spot for service on the most left @ the back. PIG mum bolts back upstairs for CSS.
- Yay not only do I get to stay seated for worship today, but the little kiddies also come to sing with us and we even sing Mary Did You Know! I sang everything, plus the harmony for one song, but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
- Speaker today was Pastor Peter Pie with his final sermon from his We Are EM series and he led communion afterwards. Then some missionary spoke (while her hubby spoke upstairs @ CM) hence why service actually ended LATE today!
- I use the loo for another tinkle, grab a packet of bikkies for morning tea and sit @ the end of the row of chairs outside the service hall. Aunty Cynthia comes over and says Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, since she's going down to Melbourns to visit her three grandkids (all under ten) and then flying back to HK!
- For lunch, dad and I are @ the Rochedale Hungry Jack's again. Cool I shake a fried chicken burger and get exactly ten chips from dad~
- Back home, I use the loo for one tinkle and pop online but return to the bathroom for a pad change when PIG mum gets home from her coffee and gossip social with the other church aunties.
- Dad had better take us out for dinner tonight and gimme @ least one mouthful of HK-style milk tea!
- Toms: 11am appointment to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD
- Since we've gotta eat lunch @ home with dearest dad PIG mum says we mightn't have time to buy groceries? Well, expect a super-pissy plodding total from me should that happen.
- May haveta ring CODA toms and ask who's minding me from 4-6pm; roster still says TBA ... nah, I'd better email Michelle. XD
- But can hopefully read for one hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 171ST time since I think dad says I can watch it again before we have our once weekly family dinner together out?
- Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
