Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2024 steps (ha, I'm just over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Glorify God In Your Body'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Practice God-Confidence Rather Than Self-Confidence' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Glory And Majesty'. Anyways, events for today?
- Yay, 7th consecutive awesome sleep last night; that's already the 9th time I've achieved one straight week of awesome sleeps, and I've already exceeded the eight it took me the entire year back in 2009 when I first started counting them!
- Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 6:35am 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*
- Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am, shortly before noisy 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, only to reenter the room @ 9:46am and snap "Peggy's late. Fifteen more minutes." I immediately comply but tell PIG mum that Peggy's prolly just stuck in traffic; when she arrives tell her to help me up @ 9:45am. Sure enough, that's what happens!
- Once I've counted down 900 seconds, I swing myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle and announce "Peggy, I'm hungry ..." She's inside the bathroom and immediately enters my room; we bid each other good morning before getting me kitted.
- I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth (thanks to Peggy who's squirted me some toothpaste), sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast with Peggy, who tells me that she had her two usual fried eggs for breakfast.
- Me, it's just another bowl of plain porridge. Still no toast. *sigh* I also pop all my usual drugs :P and drain 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, I ask Peggy please to gimme some sunscreen (my face and both hands) then she walks behind me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast stuff up. Over the loo There, 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 Auto (pronounced Alto) and Peggy tootles us off to Pinelands Plaza. Thanks to her who kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt all day.
- Peggy parks, grabs a trolley for us and then we both buy groceries @ Coles. Seeing Vicki behind the checkout we head her way and have a nice chat together while she's scanning our items~
- our other stop's the Pinelands Bakehouse for my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi. Uncle serves me today; when I ask him where's Aunty Nancy? Uncle replies Vietnam! Holidays! I next ask when you holiday and Uncle just laughs. Last, I ask him where's Aunty Lisa; Uncle just jerks his thumb behind him and I take that to mean she's inside the kitchen working.
- Our other stop's Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown! Unfortunately, Peggy refuses to do side parks but not coz she's incompetent like PIG mum but since she's scared someone will hit and damage her car if she parked there! Instead, she parks two from the very end and when I wishfully say couldn't you have found a closer park she's petty and parks @ the absolute end. *sigh* Never mind; apparently walking more's good for me~
- After one toilet trip I grabbed Feist's Master Of Furies and happily read that for about one hour, starting @ 11:31 from page twenty-five and reaching page fifty @ 12: 41pm.When Peggy returned from grocery shopping, I noted that I stopped @ pg. fifty-six.
- Whoops only twenty minutes left, so super-briefly:
- Got home and showered - 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 yummy toasted crunchy pork bahn mi with one huge mug of yummy earl grey tea sweetened with one spoonful of molasses. Jacinta texted me back telling where she'd found the honey then Peggy found it too; next time! XD
- Signed Peggy off with my thanks and byes @ 2pm~ She's back same time next week~
- Lucy's taking me to Toastmasters tonight!
- Toms: may buy groceries with PIG mum before Liam comes and gives Ela one hour of unfunctional exercises.
- Think Jane's taking me to table tennis toms arvo?
- Hoping to watch the 6pm bulletin for the 113TH time and will remind PIG mum to please gimme dinner when Jane leaves since Angie's picking me up for GG around 7:10pm!
- Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
