Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2316 steps today; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Where Our Comfort Comes From'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Importance Of Fellowship' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Jesus - Our Place Of Rest' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-ONE MINUTES online after I watch the NRL season kickoff for 2025 in Las Vegas!! Anyways, events for today?
- Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:50am, and after one pot :P trip I immediately tried falling back asleep, since I knew that PIG mum would get very noisy @ 7:05am!
- Unfortunately, sleep didn't return before PIG mum began her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs; when that started I gave up trying to fall back asleep and instead 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*
- At 7:15am, PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
- PIG mum returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for two tinkles, wash and dry Era and then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
- Breakfast was one yummy bowl of flaky Special K very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P with one slice of toast very thinly spread with avocado and for some reason the PLATE (but not the toast itself) very 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 walk myself slowly and safely back to the loo, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 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 PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles us off to church, parking under the service hall. I haul myself up the ramp, use the first cubicle of the normal ladies' loo (since the disabled loo has lid closed but mean mother won't lift it), wash and dry both hands and then grab my usual spot @ service. PIG mum bolts back upstairs for CSS. It's 8:45am.
- Suddenly Yu Lam appears and says you're doing welcome today! She walks behind me back outside and ensures I've got a chair before popping back inside.
- Today I'm welcoming with Ella; aww, she wasn't even BORN when the 9/11 attacks happened!
- She walks behind me back inside when service starts.
- Yay, I get to stay seated for worship today. I sing everything, plus the harmony for four songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
- Speaker today's Tyvus; today his sermon's from the Hero/Zero sermon series with today's character in focus being Ruth.
- After service ended sixteen minutes early, I used the disabled loo for one tinkle, grabbed a mini packet of three Jatz crackers (the chip packets were already all gone ><) and grabbed my usual spot outside the hall.
- Met some new aunty with a shy little ball; Aunty Cynthia also sat down and demanded Ela play that fingers game with her but showed me some flower painting she did and says she'll paint me a sunflower for my birthday next week!
- Everyone enjoyed lunch together @ Mia Casa Cafe but dad made me eat Hungry Jack's with him @ Rochedale Springwood. *sigh* Just a cheeseburger, ten chips and we shared an orange juice for me; dad only lemme have two small spoonfuls of the chocolate sundae and ate the rest himself. But Aunty Yvonne and Uncle Stephen had lunch with us; Aunty Yvonne got her free birthday Whopper since her birthday was only two/three days ago! Wonder how I can get mine ...
- Back home, I used the loo for one more tinkle, washed and dried Era and then walked myself slowly and safely back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
- At 3pm I'm gonna watch the NRL season opener in Las Vegas! Don't think the Broncos are playing until Saturday ...
- Toms: hope PIG mum helps me up before 9:45am and takes me for walkies somewhere since Sharon's not coming until 4-6pm else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me ... but hope I can read for one hour and watch the 6pm news for the 32ND time!
- Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
