Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2498 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic 'The Faith That Magnifies Grace'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Believe God For Abundance' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Our Part, God's Part". Anyways, events for today?
- Grr, I was hoping for an awesome night's sleep, since I'd endured physio yesterday, but idiot nature called @ 12:30pm! >< Don't worry, 'twas still an otherwise sound sleep~ *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 once more for the pot :P around 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 and give poor Elf an exceedingly brief rub since she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night. That's alright, Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes last night and let her wear her sock to sleep last night although obviously removed the sock first thing this morning! XD
- After PIG mum lets Peggy inside @ 9:30am, Peggy knocks, opens the door and announces, "Good morning." When Daddy Bear flops his paw @ her saying hello back, she next states "Fifteen more minutes." Daddy Bear gives another paw nod then flicks his paw @ her shoo! Peggy smirks and wisely leaves us be, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD Actually, she comes back thirty-five seconds too early! When she sits on my bed and says, "Good morning," I crossly mumble back, "Thirty-five more seconds!" Thankfully, Peggy obediently sits there silently for thirty-five more seconds, then come the thirty-sixth second, I sit up, say good morning then use the pot :P for one more tinkle. XD
- We get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth (thanks to Peggy who squirted me some toothpaste), sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table with Peggy, who tells me she enjoyed her two fried eggs for breakfast this morning.
- Me, I get to dry (no honey) Weet-Bix with 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, Peggy covers my face and both hands with sunscreen and accompanies me nack too the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing 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 Auto (pronounced Alto) who's been fixed with a new windscreen!) Peggy kindly helps me with my seatbelt (as she kindly does all day) then tootles us off to Pinelands Plaza parking outside Coles and grabbing a trolley for us.
- First, we both buy groceries from Coles. Vicki's manning the checkouts today, hence why Peggy steers our trolley over to her. When she sees me, Vicki exclaims "Are you alright??" Peggy, alarmed, immediately glances @ me; Vicki laughs and explains "Emily HATES the cold and Winter officially arrived yesterday!" We all have a good laugh, and Vicki scans our items for us, saying she's working till 1pm today.
- Our other stop's the Pinelands Bakehouse, where I get my once weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from Aunty Nancy.
- Back home I take a nice hot 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's my delicious toasted crunchy pork bahn mi plus one yummy mug of Earl grey tea; the only pity's that Peggy couldn't find where the sneaky parents had hidden the sweetener. *sigh*
- At 2pm I signed Peggy off with my thanks and byes; she's back same time next week.
- Lunch finished, I take the cup over to the sink, use the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely online, rising above
the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him
push me over.
- Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day I'll use the loo for one tinkle, sit and read for one hour then watch the 6pm news (Seven's) for the 108TH time!
- Toms: PIG mum says she'll help me up and take me for walkies somewhere before coming home for lunch since Jane's not taking me to table tennis until 1:30pm.
- But Jane will see me home and showered before leaving @ 6:30pm and then Peter Pie's gonna gimme a lift to GG!
- Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
