Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3502 steps (ha, I'm literally a couple of steps over 3.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Arm Yourselves With Promises'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Learn To Delegate' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Undeniable Power". Anyways, events for today?
- Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night; I've started another awesome sleep streak! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 6:20am 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 happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P again around 7:45am and once more just after 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 inside @ 9:30am, Peggy knocks, pushes open the door and announces, "Good morning." When I nod Mini Pearl back @ her in greeting, Peggy next announces "Fifteen more minutes." Mini Pearl nods once back to Peggy then flicks his body 'shoo' @ her, which Peggy complies with giving a smirk of laughter.
- After I've counted down 900 seconds, I swing myself over to the pot :P for one tinkle, calling out to Peggy that I'm hungry. Since she doesn't appear, once I'm sitting over the pot :P and tinkling away Era thumps the wall once and I call "Peggy, where are you; I said I'm HUNGRY!" Peggy laughs and calls back from the bathroom, "Coming. Just washing your glasses for you."
- We get me kitted then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who's 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, who tells me that she had her usual two fried eggs for breakfast this morning.Me, for breakfast I get one/two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P, all my usual drugs :P and one full 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*
- After breakfast, Peggy slathers my face and arms with sunscreen then accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast stuff 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 backseat oof Auto (pronounced Alto) and Peggy tootles us off to Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown. Thanks to her who kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt both ways.
- Peggy does a side park along level two and grabs a trolley for us. First, we buy groceries from Woolies and then I curl up in a single-seater armchair sofa with the Feist book I've been currently reading and happily continue for like another forty minutes while Peggy continues her own grocery shopping from ALDI.
- Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
- Got home and took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helped 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 bahn mi plus one huge mug of delicious vanilla chai; just pity Peggy couldn't find where the sneaky parents had hidden the sweetener! *sigh*
- Signed Peggy off with my thanks and byes @ 2pm. She's back same time next week~
- Used loo for one tinkle, did my daily Bible readings then popped online.
- Once I've used up the most important two hours of the day I'll use the loo for one tinkle, sit and read for a while before watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 47TH time!
- Toms: presume PIG mum'll help me up then take me for grocery shopping somewhere before Jane takes me to play table tennis?
- Yay that I get to attend GG toms night!
- Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
