Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2665 steps (ha, I'm over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Possible With God'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Encourage Someone Today' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Sure Foundation In Christ'. Anyways, events for today?
- Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! 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*
- Mini Pearl and I cuddled and snored, me waking again shortly before 9am and using the pot :P again, wondering where was baba? Shortly afterwards, PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs and 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. >< Never mind, Era rubbed Elf for fifteen minutes and let her wear her sock to sleep last night, although upon waking this morning the first thing she remembered too do was take it off! XD
- When PIG mum let Peggy inside @ 9:30am, Peggy knocked, pushed open the door and announced good morning. When I nodded Mini Pearl @ her, she next stated fifteen more minutes. This time, Mini Pearl replied with the 'shoo' motion; Peggy just smirked and left. XD
- Only Peggy dares come back 120 seconds early! As she starts tugging blankets away, I point Mini Pearl @ her and screech "Two minutes left!" Phew, Peggy doesn't argue and just withdraws for two more minutes; I'm unsure how I'd have acted should she have demanded I get up because since Spring's here, I can't go full morgenmuffel@ her anymore! XD
- When Peggy returns, 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's already squirted some toothpaste for me. Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself out to the gobbling :P table with Peggy, who tells me she had her two usual hardboiled eggs for breakfast.
- For my breakfast, I have one bowl of the less-yummy (so sticky) bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran :P), all my usual drugs :P and one full mug 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* Once PIG mum leaves for her Pilates class, Peggy immediately makes me one huge mug of white tea although pity she can't find where sneaky PIG mum's hidden the sweetener! *sigh*
- After breakfast, Peggy accompanies me back to the bathroom then returns to the kitchen and washes the breakfast dishes up. 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 climb into the passenger seat of Auto (pronounced Alto) Peggy kindly helps me with my seatbelt (as she does both ways) and then she tootles us off to Pinelands Plaza to buy my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse. Only it's raining quite heavily when we arrive and since PIG mum doesn't want any groceries from Coles today, only Woolies, Peggy tells me to stay inside the car while she ducks into get my bahn mi for me. I ask her to please say hi to Aunty Lisa for me (since Aunty Nancy's gone home for the holidays); when she returns, Peggy tells me she says to tell you the whole family says hi to Emily! Aww, don't I feel like a loved customer~
- Our next stop's to Calamvale Central; this time, Peggy parks underground before grabbing a trolley for us. After buying groceries from Woolies together (we bumped into Adelfa who says bye until December; she's taking a cruise somewhere!) I waited outside Woolies while Peggy bought more fresh produce from the Mega Discount Fruit Market.
- Back home, I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helps 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 salad roll (it becomes crunchy when reheated in the sandwich press) plus another big mug of white tea still unfortunately without any sweetener.
- Yay baba arrived home for lunch with me and even shared a strand of his two-minute noodles with me~ Turns out he'd gone for work @ Uncle Kelvin Cham's place this morning!
- At 2pm I sign Peggy off with my thanks and byes; she's back same time next week.
- One tinkle for me before I plop online.
- Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day I'll use the loo for one tinkle, sit @ the gobbling :P table and instead of reading practise the speech I'm giving tonight for Toastmasters! Hope PIG mum remembers to gimme some rice for arvo tea, since I'm only getting an UnHappy Meal for dinner! Perhaps Lorraine will lemme get a milkshake with it should I give a good speech~ XD
- Toms: seeing Ray for some massage and acupuncture; bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD
- Gabby's coming @ 1/1:30pm and taking me to table tennis; I missed last week's session since we were overseas, but Kim says I won't miss out on any cake; let there be cake toms!! XD
- Gabby will see me home and showered before leaving @ 6:30pm and David's said he'll gimme a lift to Dr. Lee's for GG Bible study but he's not decided how dinner's working yet (I eat @ home before pickup/I bring a bowl of rice leftovers for dinner/David will buy us takeaway) so unsure what time he's picking me up, 6:45pm/7:15pm.
- Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
