Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2264 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'My Soul Thirsts For God'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Evaluate Your Expectations'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Jesus' Witness" and fifthly Joni's devotional topic's "A Heart Of Flesh but sixthly and way most importantly, I've not been online for two hours until 10:01pm; meaning should PIG mum boot me off to bed @ 9:45pm I'm really still owed SIXTEEN MINUTES online!! *sigh* Anyways, events for today?
- Grr, nature ruined the awesome sleep streak I'd just started! >< Never mind, I was prolly too excited about my first proper meal out in one MONTH tonight. *sigh*
- Following the first daylight 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 again for the pot :P when PIG mum wakes me with her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor Elf's ankle a very brief rub since she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night. That's fine; Era rubbed Elf for fifteen minutes and let her wear her sock to sleep last night but obviously peeled the sock off first thing this morning! XD
- When Louiza doesn't arrive @ 8am PIG mum immediately opens the door saying fifteen more minutes; I immediately comply but tell her bet Louiza's just stuck in traffic; just tell her to help me up @ 8:15pm after she arrives. Sure enough, that's exactly what happens! XD
- When Louiza taps me up @ 8:15am, I sit up, say good morning then used the pot :P for three more tinkles. Sure enough; Louiza was delayed in traffic: stuck along the Ipswich motorway, actually!
- We get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth and then sit over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Louiza, telling her off for not eating breakfast this morning and informing her that she would buy herself some breakfast after she bought groceries for PIG mum while I was attending GCCW. XD
- Breakfast was prolly one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly smeared with avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Thanks to Louiza who turns Sunrise on for my viewing pleasure and 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, Louiza covers my face and both hands with sunscreen then follows me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast stuff up. 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 passenger seat of Louiza's car and she tootles me off to GCCW! Thanks to her who kindly helped me with my seatbelt both ways and since we were really stuck along Logan Rd., we didn't arrive till like 9:29am hence why I skipped the arrival toilet trip and just headed straight into Meeting Room One.
- Ten attended: Alison was here! Tammy went with me once to the toilet @ morning tea and Nancy got morning tea for me: there was cake and she not only gave me seconds but left me the last slice! Only the meeting ended ten minutes early, everyone cleared out really fast and then someone switched off the light and I was left in the dark! >< XD
- Less than fifteen minutes left, so super-briefly:
- Got home, showered and had a tuna in tomato and onion with cheese toastie for lunch.
- Rebecca took me to Wong's for our book club dinner! Thirteen attended and I had that set that came with two spring rolls, some sweet and sour pork and some braised chicken with two prawns; I picked that and the celery out. XD I also finished eating last but that was to be expected. XD Next month we're reading A Fortunate Life? Maybe that's by A.B. Facey and about Peekay the boxer?
- Rebecca tootled me home; she's back toms @ 8am till 2pm~
- Yup toms I've got NAB physio for two hours but don't have OT since Ari already cooked with me this arvo! Will eat what we cooked this arvo for lunch toms~
- Looking forward to reading the new book club novel for one hour and watching the 6pm news for the 181ST time.
- Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing end to the week toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
