Grr! Not playing table tennis with dad @ church today so can't take last Saturday's plodding total but idiot Wally has only given me 721 steps and goodness knows I've done more than that today! >< Well, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Seminary Of Suffering'; TWFT topic's 'How Your Faith Can Produce Results (1)' and Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'A Great Multitude'. Anyways, events for today?
- Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:05am 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, Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking twice more for the pot :P before noisy PIG mum begins her daily 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 again (for the 6th consecutive day, Era rubbed Elf for fifteen minutes before sleep and let her wear her sock last night though obviously peeled it off first thing this morning XD) before going back outside and awaiting Sharon's arrival @ 9:30am. While waiting for her 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*
- Only Sharon didn't arrive until 9:45am and I'd already fallen back asleep! Had she been stuck in traffic? No, her previous shift didn't end until 9:30am. Um, but your shift here STARTS @ 9:30am??
- Obviously, I skipped the fifteen more minutes. After using the pot :P for one more tinkle we got me kitted and then I went over to the bathroom and brushed teeth. After drinking one tall mug of water, I sit over the loo proper and 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 head out to the gobbling :P table with Sharon. Breakfast is my once-weekly fried egg on one piece of dry (unbuttered) toast very sparingly smeared with avocado, another tall cup of water, all my usual drugs :P and my first big mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey. Over and after breakfast, I happily read for thirty minutes first up.
- While Sharon closed and locked windows, I used the loo for one more tinkle before climbing into her car's passenger seat. She kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt then tootled us off to Underwood MarketPlace, parking around the side and grabbing a trolley for us.
- We both bought groceries from Woolies; Sharon also bought herself a bucket of teriyaki chicken rice from Sushi Creators (where I bought my honey chicken sushi roll) and promises to shout bubble tea for my birthday next year!
- Back home I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Sharon who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
- Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was one yummy tuna in tomato and onion toastie with one (the last slice) of cheese, HEAVILY buttered (on the inside XD) and two more big mugs of white tea with two sugars. Happily read for another 1.5 hours, finishing pg. 650 @ exactly 12:34pm, reaching pg. 666 @ 12:58pm, reaching pg. 675 @ exactly 1:10pm, finishing pg. 700 @ 1:31pm, FINISHING THE BOOK @ 1:46pm, finishing pg. 750 and the acknowledgements @ 1:52pm (so clean forgot about pg. 725 XD), about the author finished @ 1:53pm and EVERYTHING FINISHED @ 1:54pm! Thanks to Sharon who's kindly grabbed me some Kylie Chan novel to continue reading!
- At 1:55pm I sat over the loo for two more tinkles then signed Sharon off with my thanks and byes. She's back Saturday fortnight.
- Once I've used up the most important two hours of the day I'll use the loo for one tinkle, call upstairs and ask PIG mum please for my honey chicken sushi roll and start reading the Kylie Chan novel for one hour!
- Toms: just church, nothing special. Braced for a pissy little lunch with dad @ Hungry Jack's and a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum. *sigh* Hey, isn't she returning to HK soon?
- Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
