Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3307 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Happy God'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'A Life-Enriching Habit' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'What Will God Dp'. Anyways, events for today?
- Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 7:30am 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 and I happily cuddle and snore, nature calling once more around 9am just before noisy 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 before going back outside and awaiting Peggy's arrival @ 9:30am.
After PIG mum lets Peggy in, she knocks, opens the door and announces good morning. When I wave Mini Pearl @ Peggy, she squeals and goes, oh, I've not seen you before! Having no appendages to wave Peggy 'shoo' with, I just flick his body in a 'shoo' motion and Peggy laughs. "Oh, that's right. Fifteen more minutes first." Mini Pearl wiggles 'shoo' again, Peggy laughs and wisely leaves; phew, since just Pearl, Mini Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD XD
When Peggy comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who squirts me some toothpaste.
Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Peggy, who tells me that she had her two usual fried eggs for breakfast this morning.
All I get for breakfast's one bowl of healthy cereal (the sticky All-Bran and Minus :P), all my usual drugs :P and one tall cup of water. Luckily, after PIG mum leaves for her Pilates class, Peggy finds where she's sneakily hidden the syrup and makes me one massive, delicious mug of Earl Grey tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey. 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, Peggy 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 Auto (pronounced Alto). Peggy kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt) what she kindly does all day) and then she tootles me off to Pinelands Plaza to get my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from Aunty Nancy @ the Pinelands Bakehouse.
Peggy parks across the road not too far down from the bakery and grabs a trolley for us. When Aunty Nancy's heating up the crunchy pork bahn mi for me, she very excitedly tells me that I'll see her next week when I buy another bahn mi but then she's flying interstate to visit friends before flying home to visit family!
Our other stops Calamvale Central for groceries then I sit outside Woolies on the bench and wait while Peggy buys fresh produce from the Mega Discount Fruit Market.
Back home, I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was my delicious crunchy pork bahn mi (Peggy made it crunchy by putting it into the sandwich press) plus another huge mug of Earl Grey tea sweetened with one spoonful of syrup. While I enjoyed lunch, Peggy cleaned the bathroom and wrote the shift notes.
Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
Signed Peggy off with my thanks and byes when she left @ 2pm. She's back same time next week and will give Mini Pearl another pearl! <3 XD
One tinkle for me before I plopped online.
Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day I'll use the loo for one tinkle, sit to continue reading The Daily Telegraph and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea.
Toms: hope PIG mum helps me up shortly after 9am and takes me grocery shopping somewhere.
Someone new called Jane McMasters will take me to table tennis @ 1:30pm! Hope she's nice~ Also hope there's cake! XD
Once Jane leaves @ 6:45pm I've asked PIG mum to please gimme dinner since David's coming to pick me up for GG Bible study @ 7:15pm! But looking forward to watching the 6pm news for the 204TH time!
Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
