Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1667 steps (ha, I'm over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'A Dangerous Motive'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'It Came To Pass - Not Stay' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Life And Death'. Anyways, events for today?
- Nature called once fractionally past midnight. After the first daylight 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*
- Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P when dearest dad comes and kisses me goodbye before heading to the airport and picking up 4th uncle, Uncle Cheesecake and his wife!
- More happy cuddling and snoring for Daddy Bear and me, nature calling once more around 9am shortly before 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 before returning outside and awaiting Peggy's arrival @ 9:30am.
- Once PIG mum lets Peggy in, she knocks, opens the door and announces good morning. When Daddy Bear gives her a paw nod, she next states "Fifteen more minutes." Daddy Bear gives one more paw nod then imperiously flicks his paw @ her miming 'shoo'! Peggy snorts with laughter and wisely withdraws. XD
- Actually, I fall asleep before she returns and think I've still got like 2.5 minutes left but there isn't any point going full morgenmuffel on her since it's not colds yet. XD 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 squirts me some toothpaste.
- Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo once more for two tinkles, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table with Peggy, who says she had her usual two fried eggs for breakfast.
- Me, I get one dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P and Milo cereal with 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*
- Breakfast finished, Peggy smothered my face and both hands with sunscreen then accompanied me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast things up. 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!
- After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Auto (pronounced Alto) and Peggy tootles us off to Pinelands Plaza. Thanks to her who helped me buckle my seatbelt all day.
- Peggy parks, grabs a trolley for us and our first stop's buying groceries @ Coles. Vicki's manning the self-serve checkouts and I tell her to get her free ice cream from Ben And Jerry's once her shift ends @ 4pm! XD
- Our other stop's @ the Pinelands Bakehouse to buy my crunchy pork bahn mi from Aunty Nancy and then it's off to Sunnybank Plaza for Free Cone Day!
- Peggy parks around the Coles end but I don't comment since PIG mum's letting me use Sparkless3 because this arvo I'm seeing Peter for more boot adjustments!
- Lol we're so early, I'm FIRST IN LINE! Being thirty/fifty minutes early, I happily play match three games until midday arrives. XD
- And since I'm first, I get an extra big scoop! :D I chose half baked; Peggy chose strawberry cheesecake then we sat just before you enter the cinemas and wolfed them down! :D
- Arriving home I had to shower my quickest and only got half of lunch since my AFO appointment's like @ 2:15pm! But 'twas AWESOME to see Uncle Cheesecake, his wife and 4th uncle for the first time in nearly 1.5 DECADES: fourteen years! I asked Aunty Siu Hong where she's from since she speaks Canto with an accent; Uncle Cheesecake ttold me Wunam!
- Dad tootled PIG mum and me off to APO for more adjustments to my AFO. Pity, Gina wasn't present meaning I didn't get offered a cup of white tea with two sugars. XD
- But cripes, Peter's going on holidays soon; when he comes back, he's making a new AFO for me! PIG mum IMMEDIATELY screeched she's not paying for another; phew it's covered~
- Back home I finished my 2nd half of bahn mi(whoops Aunty Nancy forgot to gimme a crunchy pork bahn mi today >< XD), used the loo for one tinkle then plopped online.
- Once I've used up the most important two hours of the day I'll pop over to the gobbling :P table for some arvo tea, use the loo for one tinkle then come back and watch the 6pm news Seven's) for the 83RD time
- Toms: perhaps expect a super-pissy plodding total from me? Think Jane's taking me to table tennis @ 1:30pm but I can't attend GG toms night and unsure will dad take me to church to play badminton with him/whether PIG mum will take me out for walkies toms morning.
- Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
Cheers,
Em. @^^
