Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday's actually 4019 (ha, I'm over four grand; that doesn't happen very often!); secondly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's 'Give Thanks Loudly'; thirdly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 5903 steps (so should pass 6000 before Thursday ends; sweet!); fourthly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Forever Satisfied' fifthly, TWFT topic's 'The Sixth Beatitude' and sixthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Defined By Christ' but seventhly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY-SIX MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 56TH time!! Anyways, let's start with yesterday's events first, just very briefly!
- Jane took me to table tennis and gave me a HILARIOUS birthday card! The newest version of the Happy Birthday song: "Happy Birthday to you... Squashed tomatoes
and stew.... Bread
and butter
in the gutter ...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! XD - Peter Pie picked me up for our group social: potluck dinner! My favourite was the Spam bake~
- Today: yay, 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:35am 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*
- Incredibly, I fall asleep again before PIG mum comes and hits me with the eye goo since Louiza's arriving @ 8am! She also gives poor Elf a very brief rub because she's ignored my poor foot for the whole week. That's okay; Era rubbed Elf's ankle for fifteen minutes last night and let her wear her sock to sleep though obviously pulled it off first thing this morning! XD
- After PIG mum lets Louiza inside @ 8am, Louiza knocks, opens the door and says good morning. When Daddy Bear flops his paw @ her, Louiza then says, "I'll come back fifteen minutes later, okay?" Daddy Bear just goes 'shoo' with his paw. XD
- When Louiza comes back, I use the pot :P once more for three tinkles, we get me kitted and then I go brush teeth before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Louiza, who tells me that she had two boiled eggs for breakfast this morning.
- For my breakfast I only get like one dry (no honey) Weet-Bix and hopefully one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast exceedingly slightly spread with avocado and hopefully sprinkled with some salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full cup of water. Lol, over breakfast, I happily watched The Morning Show; I'd asked Louiza to please turn it on for me when I went and brushed teeth, but she couldn't figure out the remote control and asked PIG mum for help! XD Over
breakfast also, 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*
Cheers,
Em. ^^
