Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3364 steps (aww, I should've plodded thirty-one steps fewer; 3333 looks cooler! XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Plan For Prayer'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Are You Feeling The Heat?' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Pursued By God'. Anyways, events for today?
- Woo hoo, 12TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like previous days, nature didn't call until 6:10am 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*
-
Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P shortly before noisy IG mum begins her usual 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 (again) last night. That's alright, Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes and let her wear her sock to sleep last night although I'd obviously peeled the sock off first thing this morning! XD'
Once PIG mum lets Karina inside @ 8am, she knocks, pushes open the door and says "Good morning Emily; hitting the snooze button for fifteen more minutes ..." I nod Mini Pearl @ her and she thankfully withdraws; phew, since Mini Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving her the Bear Bum! XD
When Karina comes back, I sit over the loo for three more tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who's already squirted some toothpaste for me.
After sitting over the loo for one tinkle, I head out to the bathroom with Karina, rousing @ her for AGAIN skipping breakfast. For me, breakfast is one bowl of the less-yummy (so sticky) bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) with all my usual drugs :P and one full tall cup of water. 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* Also thanks to Karina who turned on The Morning Show for my viewing pleasure~
After breakfast, Karina slathers 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!
Less than fifteen minutes left, so just briefly:
Took a hike around Underwood Park with Karina! The turtle was hiding today but we saw several water dragons~
Got home and took 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, lunch is one tuna in tomato and onion with TWO slices , HEAVILY buttered (on the inside XD) and the little bottle of Vietnamese iced coffee with milk Karina bought us bottles of last Thursday; delicious! :D Fingers crossed PIG mum'll gimme the powdered HK-style milk tea for arvo tea~
Used the loo for two tinkles before signing Karina off with my thanks and byes. Must ask PIG mum why she's not coming back next Thursday: aren't we only gone for six days?
Also unsure: are we leaving tonight?
MINION LAND, HERE I COME!!
Hoping for @ least *one* proper meal out; also need to find a HK-style milk tea! Anna says they're called teh tarek?
So maybe bbl but if not, hope everyone has a lovely end to the week toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
