Good afternoon and Happy NYE! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2187 steps (ha, I'm over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Outfitted And Empowered'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Your Quiet Time (4)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Hand Of God'. Anyways, events for today?
- Aww, what better way to end 2024 than with my 285TH awesome sleep?? Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 6:10am 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*
- Afterwards, Pearl and I snore so happily together that I don't wake again for the pot :P until 9:15am! When I realise the tissue box's empty, I bang the wall asking PIG mum please for a new one and also to please help me up since I wanna be outta the bedroom by 9:45am!
- Instead, it's dearest dad who brings me a new box of tissues saying wait; PIG mum's still sleeping. Usually I'd protest since if I'm not outta bed before 9:45am chances are I'll be back in bed before twelve hours have passed, which makes me feel like I've wasted the entire day but then I realise since it's NYE I'm staying up to welcome in 2025 anyway, so I happily cuddle Pearl and prepare for another sleep.
- Dad suddenly changes his mind, enters my bedroom and tosses a pair of pants onto my bed. I pull them on, he finishes with my footwear and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth, before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I 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.
- NYE breakfast was rather disappointing: one bowl of the less-yummy (so sticky) bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) with only 1.5 dry (no honey) Weet-Bix with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with some avocado and hopefully sprinkled with some salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full cup 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 happily play the HP version of Bejeweled on my mobile; I'm hoping to reach level 2500 before 2025 arrives! PIG mum comes downstairs and announces that she's sick hence will not take me grocery shopping this morning; luckily, dad will~
- 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 sit by the door and wait for dearest dad to get ready and take me to Pinelands Coles for grocery shopping. I rejoice when he says don't need to bring Green Sticky; we'll push a trolley together~
- At Pinelands Plaza, there's one disabled park left for us, woot! Dad grabs a trolley for us, I swing outta the car and we begin grocery shopping. I try to keep the trolley straight; once we've walked from one end to the other hopefully, we can go pay but dad likes wandering every single aisle and checking out the specials. XD
- While dad takes everything through the self-serve checkouts, I have a chat with Vicki! She tells me she's a grandma now and has worked @ Coles all her life. She stopped to have her three kids but after they were grown up, her hubby suggested why not go back? Oh, she says she's granny~
- Back home, I use the loo for another tinkle and then sit @ the gobbling :P table and wait for lunch, happily playing the HP version of Bejeweled~
- Lunch is my delicious crunchy pork bahn mi; thanks to PIG mum for brewing me a packet of powdered HK-style milk tea since I missed out last week!
- Lunch finished, I take the cup over to the sink, use the loo for one tinkle and then walk myself slowly and safely back online, always 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 the day, I'll start penning my 2024 reflections!
- Sharon's minding me 4-6pm today. Since I'm unsure has PIG mum put the new book I bought during the Boxing Day Sales I'm planning to play the HP version of Bejeweled; hoping to reach level 2500 before 2025 arrives!
- After watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 227TH time!
- Following dinner @ home and returning online, after visiting the loo once more @ 9pm I'm hiking upstairs and visiting my original bedroom before coming back downstairs and penning my reflections for 2024!
- Anyways, hopefully bbl else see everyone next year!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
