Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2546 steps (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "The All-Satisfying Object"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Keep On Going' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Remaining Teachable In God'. Anyways, events for today?
- Woo hoo, 7th consecutive awesome sleep last night; that's the 19TH time this year I've achieved one consecutive week of awesome sleeps! :D Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 6:30am 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*
- Mini Pearl (Daddy Bear will come back next April; it's getting too hot for him to sleep over Tum Tum now), me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor Elf a very brief rub, since she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night, before going back outside and awaiting Karina's arrival, only to come back inside and say fifteen more minutes; Karina's late! I immediately start counting down from 900, saying please ring CODA should she have not arrived by 9:40am.
- But phew she arrives very shortly afterwards; when I'm using the pot :P for one more tinkle I ask was she stuck in traffic? No, just signing in; I suggest many next time she ring the doorbell before signing in?
- 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 then walk out to the gobbling :P table with Karina, grousing @ her for AGAIN skipping breakfast and informing her that she'd buy herself some (and me second breakfast XD) while we bought groceries for PIG mum from Rochedale Coles.
- Breakfast was one bowl of delicious flaky Special K with all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Apparently white bread makes me fat and now PIG mum won't even gimme a slice of toast for breakfast?? *sigh*
- After expert, Karina lathers me with sunscreen then accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing up the breakfast dishes. Over the loo, 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 Karina's car, and she tootles me off to Rochedale Coles for grocery shopping.
- Karina grabs a trolley for us on arrival; before/after buying groceries we even duck into the sushi bar and she gets herself some beef rice paper rolls and me a crispy skin chicken sushi! :D
- Back home, I take a nice warm shower - 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 sat over the loo for one tinkle while Karina cleaned the bathroom and then she tootled me off to meet Pastor Grace for our once termly lunch; on the way we even stopped @ Maccas and I got a free Big Mac to celebrate the Lions' winning the AFL GF! :D
- But My Personal Chef's CLOSED every Thursday!! o_O I immediately rang Pastor Grace who suggested Sunnybank Oriental but then Karina said I got the last table @ Vietnam Corner!
- Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
- roast duck with rice lunch special with a HK-style milk tea coffee for me; Vietnam Corner does seriously good roast duck!
- Signed Karina off along Warrigal Rd. since her shift ended @ 2pm!
- Used loo once and plopped online.
- Will use loo once, eat arvo tea, and read for one hour @ 4:51pm~
- Hoping to watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 201ST time!
- Toms: have forgotten who's minding me from 9:30am till 1pm/2pm toms; Michelle did just ring and tell PIG mum.
- Presuming Syn's better and will give Ela one hour of unfunctional exercises?
- Looking forward to reading for one hour and watching the 6pm news for the 202ND time!
- Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
