Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2339 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Messiah For The Magi'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Uncovering Satan's Schemes (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'New Life In Jesus'. Anyways, events for today?
- Woo hoo, 8th consecutive awesome sleep last night! I slept so soundly I wasn't woken until disturbed by noisy PIG mum's daily a-THUMPING around upstairs and she actually came to hit me with the eye goo while I was over the pot :P for a tinkle! After helping me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap, she left me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first. Whilst doing so, 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 comes back to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, after which I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and 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 Minus :P and Just Wrong :P with one slice of dry (unbuttered) bread spread exceedingly thinly with avocado and hopefully sprinkled with some salt, 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 hike myself upstairs to the loo, since horrid PIG mum's already closed the loo lid and won't lift it for me! >< There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also slumping against the wall (luckily, it's such a small space) 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 in my upstairs bathroom, I hug the rail back downstairs, climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum gets in and tootles us off to church, parking outside the hall. I hike up the ramp, use the third cubicle of the normal ladies' loo once (since the disabled, first and second cubicles all have lids closed but horrid PIG mum won't open them for me), wash and dry both hands and then sit outside the hall since I'm on the welcome team this morning!
- Raina gives me my nametag lanyard and I ask her may I please call her Suna, coz there's definitely not any rain today! She roars with laughter and explains it's actually her Canto name! She's only doing year nine/ten @ Mansfield State high; cripes, I'm more than two DECADES older than her!
- Raina gives me a hand into service once it starts (actually she just walks behind me) but instead of worship Peter Pie just says pray with the people beside you coz there aren't enough musicians present for singing!
- Speaker today was Uncle Colbert; his sermon topic was This Is A Difficult Thing To Say: Who Can Listen?
- Afterwards, I used the normal ladies loo again before sitting outside the service hall; we'd ended more than thirty minutes early and even morning tea hadn't been set out yet! Thanks to PIG mum who bought me over a cup of tea (she said she'd added sugar but I couldn't taste any) and a packet of bikkies.
- Aunty Happy and Bernard both wandered over for a chat; Bernard now does some kinda manual labour work for some Big W/KMart warehouse!
- Dad hauled me off for lunch with him @ Hungry Jack's but before we went I braced against the rail @ the top of the ramp while he and Aunty Yvonne chatted.
- Aunty Yvonne and Uncle Stephen joined us for lunch @ Hungry Jack's! I shook a BBQ cheeseburger and shake but had to share the shake with dad; Aunty Yvonne and Uncle Stephen each had a Whopper and she shouted us her chips!
- Back home, I used the loo for one more tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
- Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day I'll use the loo for one tinkle and then sit @ the gobbling :P to read for one hour. Hope PIG mum'll feed me some arvo tea~
- Dad had better take us for dinner somewhere tonight where I can get a mouthful of HK-style milk tea!
- Toms: Ray's already overseas and I'd asked PIG mum to please take me grocery shopping since I'll haveta get some steps in but she says we're meeting up with Mrs. Dent!! Fingers crossed for my own meal!! Presuming we'll buy groceries afterwards?
- Lena's minding me 4-6pm; hope she'll make it!
- Then fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 202ND time!
- Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
