Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2899 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Most Liberating Discovery'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Take Time For Rest And Restoration' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Gentle Answers With God's Help" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY-FOUR MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 188TH time!! Oh, and last night I was actually still owed TWENTY-SIX MINUTTES online after PIG mum ordered me off to bed! *sigh* Anyways, events for today?
- Woo hoo, 14TH consecutive awesome sleep last night; that's the 15TH time this year I've scored one straight week of consecutive awesome sleeps! Nature didn't call until 7am (like the past two days) 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*
- Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore until PIG mum wakes me for another pot :P trip around 9am with her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before returning outside and awaiting Louiza's arrival @ 9:30am.
- After PIG mum lets Louiza inside, Louiza knocks, pushes the door open and says "Good morning Em; I'll help you up in fifteen more minutes, okay?" Daddy Bear gives one paw nod then imperiously flicks his paw 'shoo!' @ her. Louiza smirks but wisely does as bid, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
- When Louiza returns and taps me, I sit up, say good morning and use the pot :P for one more tinkle. After we get me kitted I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. That done, I wash and dry Era then head our to the gobbling :P table with Louiza.
- Breakfast is one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt, 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 summon Louiza back to please gimme (both hands, face, neck and throat) some sunscreen then she walks behind me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast dishes 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 Louiza's housemate's green car and she tootles me off to Underwood Park for my 10TH hike around the lake this year!
- Lol we only lay on the sunlounges for like ten minutes before Louiza decidex we're leaving; since she's Kenyan, she's chocolate-coloured and already melting! XD We sit longer on the bench with a backrest.
- Back home I take a nice warm (my first for Spring) shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Louiza who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
- Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was one yummy tuna in tomato and onion toastie - bbl!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
