Saturday Post 513

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2487 steps (so must have passed 2.5 grand before the night's out XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Absolute, Sovereign, Almighty Love'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Understanding How God's Love Works' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'A Migrating Savior'. Anyways, events for today?

• Aww, my awesome sleep streak ended this morning around 12:45am when nature called; that's okay: hopefully I'll start another one immediately~
• When  nature called again following the Sun's rising, after another 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 cuddled and snored, me waking again for the pot :P shortly after 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 and give poor Elf's ankle a very brief rub, since she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night before going back outside and awaiting Damaris' arrival. 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*

• Since the new Damaris arrived slightly late today, PIG mum had already given me fifteen more minutes then after she arrived, told her to get me up @ 9:45am.
• I used the pot: p for one more tinkle, we got me kitted and then I headed over to the bathroom and brushed teeth. After drinking one tall cup of water, I sit over the loo proper. 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 walked 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 was my DELICIOUS once-weekly fried egg on one slice of toast (phew originally, I'd feared PIG mum would only gimme the egg since earlier this week she'd banned white bread from my diet with  a little avocado, one full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and one delicious mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey.  Happiness was reading Nine Perfect Strangers for thirty minutes first up; today I reached pg. 375 @ exactly 10:35am.
• While I used the loo for one more tinkle Damaris closed and locked windows; after washing and drying   Era I climbed into the backseat of her car and she tootled me off to Underwood MarketPlace, parking out the front and grabbing a trolley for us.
• First we buy groceries from Woolies (only the parents won't lemme sit on the self-serve checkout; all the carers do!) and then I get my honey chicken  arvo tea sushi roll.
• Back home I take a nice warm shower -   hairwash today. Also thanks to Damaris who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch is a yummy tuna with tomato and onion toastie with TWO cheese cut into two triangles and two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey.
• When Damaris leaves @ 1pm the parents have just arrived home.  When I   finish lunch, I use the loo for one more tinkle then plop online, visiting the loo again when nature suddenly calls.
• Only dad suddenly demands I play table tennis with him for thirty minutes! Because of that, I'll prolly  not get to watch the 6pm news for the 203RD time, not since I  wanna read Nine Perfect Strangers for three hours! *sigh*
• Toms: just church, nothing special. Actually, the special thing's it's the NRL GRAND FINAL; GO  THE BRONCOS!!  It's crazy:  coverage begins @ 6AM but kickoff isn't till nearly    TWELVE HOURS LATER, @ 5:30pm!! Wonder will anyone host a watch party/can I invite Uncle Colbert over to watch with me??
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else looking  forward to   seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
