Thursday Post 512

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2058 steps (ha, I'm just over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic' from last night's "Jesus's Pursuit For Joy"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'How To Become Generous' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'God, Our Trustworthy Refuge'. Anyways, events for today?

• Grr, that's the 4TH time I've just started an awesome sleep streak (four days) and nature immediately ruined it! >< My idiot bladder demanded I relieve myself @ 12:20am but aside from that, 'twas a peaceful, sound sleep~ *sigh*
• After another pot :P trip following the Sun's rising, 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*
• Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking for another pot :P trip just before noisy PIG mum begins her usual noisy daily a-THUMPING around upstairs.  Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back out and waiting for Karina's arrival except she returns several minutes later saying Karina's late and fifteen more minutes! I immediately comply, reminding her to please ring CODA on-call should she have not arrived ten minutes later.
• Phew, Karina arrives shortly afterwards, and I get fifteen more minutes all over again~ <3 XD
• When she returns, I use the pot :P for three more tinkles, asking were you stuck again in traffic like you were last week? Karina replies no, just signing in.  I suggest perhaps next time knock before you announce your arrival and sign in, lest PIG mum think you're late again and gimme fifteen more minutes first?
• We get me kitted before I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Karina 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 Karina, rousing @ her for skipping breakfast AGAIN and informing her that she would buy herself breakfast after she'd gotten groceries for PIG mum.  XD
• For my breakfast I enjoy one delicious bowl of flaky Special K topped with sliced strawberries and one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with avocado and lightly sprinkled with avocado. I also pop all my usual drugs :P and drink one tall cup of water. Apart from happily watching Sunrise, 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, Karina accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing up the breakfast dishes. Over the loo proper, 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 Karina's car, she kindly helps me with my seatbelt and then tootles me off to the Garbo library for GCCW!
• On arrival, Karina takes me once to the loo and then I found out we're in Meeting Room Two today.
• Ten attended today and homework for next week's 'the grass keeps growing'. Tammy went with me once to the bathroom during morning tea break (I managed fine by myself) and told me that she'd brought belated birthday cake!  <3 After I'd sat back down, I asked Tammy please to gimme the BIGGEST slice of birthday cake, when suddenly Mary loudly announces around the room, "NO cake for Em!" I screech "WHAT?!" and Mary replies it's got nuts! Well thanks to Mary for remembering about my nut allergy but was I gonna sit through morning   tea and wail while everyone munched cake?? Luckily, no: Tammy had also brought madeira cake! <3 
• Homework for next meeting's 'the grass keeps growing' and we're supposed to use it as a metaphor? Nah, I'm just gonna write about that time two/three years back when dad was torching the side yard with a FLAMETHROWER!
• Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Tammy gave me the leftover madeira cake! I asked her to please cut it in two for me so I could share a slice with Karina!
• After one more loo trip, Karina filled up @ some petrol station along Logan Rd. and came out with two 600mL flavoured milks for us!
•  I tried both the chocolate and honeycomb (too sweet) then chose the chocolate while wolfing down my delicious slice of cake; Karina even lemme finish hers!
• Took a nice hot shower when I got home - hairwash today. Also thanks to Karina who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted I had a MASSIVE bowl of the tuna bake I'd cooked last Friday with Dorrie plus one mug of powdered HK-style milk tea coffee. At 1:30pm I signed Karina off with my thanks and byes; think she's back same time next week.
• We've been invited to dad's mates' place for dinner tonight, so I helped PIG mum make a green tea cake! Well she made the whole thing, but I sifted some flour and stirred the batter; that gives me the right to say I made it, doesn't it? XD
• Looking forward to ice cream tonight! XD
• Toms: Damaris is coming @ 8am and taking me to the NAB for my last two hours of physio with my really tall student; it's Fun Shirt Friday! 
• She'll see me home, showered and fed with lunch before leaving @ 2pm and then Syn will come give Ela one hour of unfunctional exercises @ 2:30pm.
• Looking forward to reading Five Perfect Strangers for one hour and fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 185TH time!
• Maybe bbl, else wishing  everyone a smashing end to their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
