118TH Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 1828 (and GLOORY; the Mighty Maroons were SUBPERB last night!); secondly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2669 steps (ha, I'm over 2.5 grand XD); thirdly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'What Kinda Prayer Pleases God?'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Stay Positive' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Taking Refuge In God' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY-ONE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 118TH time!!Anyways, just briefly let's start with yesterday's events first!
- Jane took me to table tennis and not only was their CAKE; I even got SECONDS! :D
- Got home, showered, wolfed down arvo tea, started watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) and asked dad to please gimme dinner when Jane left @ 6:30pm coz Origin coverage started @ 7pm but dad dawdled and didn't gimme dinner till 6:50pm then ordered I wait five more minutes since 'twas still hot meaning I missed the beginning of Origin coverage! >< *sigh*
- But the mighty Maroons levelled the series! ::D
- Watched the post match then got myself to bed around 11:30pm!
- Today: yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Since I hit the sack later than usual I didn't wake and relieve myself until 8:05am, after which 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 for the pot :P once more when awoken by noisy PIG mum's daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor Elf a very brief rub, since she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night. That's alright; Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes and let her wear her sock to sleep last night but obviously peeled it off first thing this morning! XD
- Once PIG mum lets Louiza inside @ 9:30am, Louiza knocks, opens the door and says "Good morning Em; I'll get you up in fifteen more minutes, okay?" Daddy Bear doesn't even bother giving a paw nod but just imperiously flicks his paw @ her 'shoo'!; Louiza just smirks but wisely withdraws, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
- When Louiza taps me up fifteen minutes later, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and 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 enjoyed two fried eggs for breakfast this morning, the lucky thing!
- I wasn't lucky enough to get two fried eggs for breakfast (I only get one every Saturday) but I was lucky enough to get a slice of toast lightly spread with avocado and very lightly sprinkled with salt since PIG mum went out bushwalking! I alsoo pop all my usual drugs :P and drink 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 ask Louiza please gimme some sunscreen (face and both hands) before she walks behind me back to the bathroom then returns to the kitchen and washes the breakfast stuff up. Over the loo proper, , 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 of Louiza's car and she tootles me off to Underwood Park for my 6th hike around Underwood Lake; we encountered this lady carrying her sausage dog that was wearing a puffer vest himself since they're like hairless and would feel the cold too!
- Our other stop was Warrigal Square Woolies for groceries before getting home for my fastest shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Louiza who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
- Dried, creamed and rekitted, dad made me a tuna in tomato and onion toastie with only one slice of cheese for lunch and I enjoyed a packet of powdered HK-style milk tea.
- After signing Louiza off with my thanks and byes (she's taking me to the NAB toms and coming @ 8am) PIG mum tootled me off to Top Health Doctors since I needed a referral for my upcoming appointment with the eye doctor D. Vu; turns out dad was there too so the young Asian doctor just saw us all together!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
