Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2612 steps (ha, I'm over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'God Will Supply All Your Needs'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Avoid Strife'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Message Of The Prophets'; fifthly, the final, final spam count for last weekend's actually only seven and sixthly, the spam count for the week's eleven but seventhly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-THREE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news (Nine's)for the 146TH time!! Anyways, events for today?
- Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 5:50am (my favourite thing about the warmer month's how early the Sun rises now!) 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*
- Around 7:45am I instinctively awoke again for another pot :P trip but since I couldn't hear dad getting ready to leave for his day's work presumed he was taking a day off today and just happily went back to sleep with Pearl.
- The next time I'm woken's @ 8:50am when 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 before shes goes back outside and awaits Peggy's arrival.
- After PIG mum lets Peggy in, Peggy knocks, pushes open the door and calls melodiously, "Good morning~" When I nod Pearl back @ her she laughs and announces, "Fifteen more minutes." Pearl nods again and she thankfully removes herself; phew, since Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
- When Peggy comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who squirts some toothpaste for me~
- 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.
- Breakfast is some Weet-Bix porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast, 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*
- After breakfast I sit once more over the loo. 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 Ulrich. Thanks to Peggy who kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt both ways; she tootles us off to Calamvale Central and parks around the middle before grabbing a shopping trolley for us.
- First we buy broccoli and carrots from the Mega Discount Fruit Mart.
- Then we pop into Woolies for pasta sauce; there's actually one for tuna bake!
- While I happily played Jewel Quest, Peggy did more shopping for herself.
- Back home I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Thanks also to Peggy who rinses out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
- Dried, creamed and rekitted, Peggy makes me a yummy tuna in tomato and onion with TWO cheese and HEAVILY buttered on the INSIDE (so PIG mum can't see XD) and I drink that packet of chai Alison gave me! BTW, it definitely tastes better with sugar. XD
- While I used the loo for one more tinkle PIG mum immediately shooed Peggy away. Not seeing her next week since we'll be down in Sydney!
- Today I made a pasta bake with Tiff and the student. Won't see her again coz today was her last day and she said we can't be Facebook friends.
- The parents and I all munched the pasta bake for arvo tea; I also started reading the book club novel for one hour! Today I reached - bbl!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
