Friday Post 484

 Good afternoon but grr!  Today I have walked many more steps than usual since I went Christmas present shopping for the parents and birthday present shopping for PIG mum but Wally suddenly karked it today! >< But John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Replacing The Shadows'; TWFT topic's 'Worship God With Abandon (1)' and Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Keeping Presence' but way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and SEVENTEEN MINUTES online after I get home from my once-YEARLY trip to Queen Street Mall with Minjum!! >< But just noting down that I  enjoyed my 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night (like yesterday, nature didn't call until 6:10am) and then Peggy took me to get a free photo with Santa before we went buying presents for the parents! For Christmas, Peggy found me soft towels to buy them and originally, I couldn't find a pig gift for PIG mum's birthday coz all the pig items available from KMart were all more than thirty bucks but then Peggy somehow found a Christmas tree bauble with a PIG on it! Me: BAHAHA!!! Went next to the library and borrowed next month's book (some Indian story; thanks for the large print) and then sat outside the entrance to the aquatic centre and shared a pack of 125g honey soy chicken crisps with Peggy before coming home for a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helped me rinse out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. Lunch was one tuna in tomato and onion toastie with one slice of cheese and one huge mug of green tea. Did another stinky unspeakable before Dorrie came and gave Ela one hour's worth of unfunctional hand exercises; next week's her last for 2024 and we're making some kinda orange chicken recipe! Munched a banana, half a plain cracker and drank one mug of delicious Chinese tea for arvo  while starting the new book club novel. While reading for one hour, I reached page twenty-five @ 3:52pm. Starting from last night I started getting pretty bad PMS/PMT, but horrid PIG mum still chucked some spiteful cow @ me while I was trying to enjoy my reading.  >< Not gonna let her ruin my once-yearly trip out to Queen Street Mall with Minjum! Hoping PIG mum helps me up before 9:15am toms and also looking forward to playing table tennis with dad @ church (wanna show off my engraved medals! XD) but planning to spend three hours reading even though I'm hoping to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 204TH time!  Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
