Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4437 steps (ooh, should crack 4.5 grand before Tuesday ends; that's rare!); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Models For Combating Discouragement'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Being Energised By The Work Of God' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Persisting In Prayer'. Anyways, events for today?
- Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:00am and after one pot :P trip, I fall back asleep immediately in case dearest dad leaves for work @ 7:45am!
- Instead, Daddy Bear and I cuddle and happily snore until I'm woken by noisy PIG mum going a-THUMPING around upstairs @ 9am for another pot :P trip? After relieving myself again, 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*
- Soon, PIG mum's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor Elf a very brief rub, since she totally ignored my poor foot last night.
- When Angelica announces her arrival @ 9:30am, PIG mum lets her in. Angelica knocks, opens the door and enthusiastically cries, "Good morning, Em!" When I flop Daddy Bear's paw @ her she next cries, "Oh, hi, bear!" Daddy Bear's paw gives a 'shoo' motion and Angelica remembers, "Oh, Daddy Bear, that's your name! Do you want fifteen more minutes, Daddy Bear?" Daddy Bear nods and Angelica wisely removes herself, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
- When Angelica returns, 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 bathroom with Angelica, rousing @ her for not eating any breakfast this morning and informing her that she'd buy some brunch when I got my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse. XD
- For my breakfast, I slurp one bowl of plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread with avocado and sprinkled with salt, one full mug of water :P all my usual drugs :P and thanks to Angelica for one big mug of Ceylon tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey! 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, Angelica accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing up my breakfast stuff. Over the loo, 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 Angelica's car, and she tootles us off to Underwood Park for a hike around the lake! Thanks to her who kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt all day~
- The skies werevgrey but luckily the rain held off! We hiked around the lake, I lay down in the sunlounge for a photo and we left! We bumped into this couple with a BEAUTIFUL tan-coloured husky who were walking around the lake four times; when they paused to say hi, Ela gave the beautiful husky a pat!
- Our other stop was Pinelands Plaza to buy groceries @ Coles and get our lunch from the Pinelands Bakehouse! One crunchy pork bahn mi for me and three pork ball sticks for Angelica~
- Back home, I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Angelica who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
- Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was my delicious crunchy pork bahn mi with one big mug of Angelica's yummy Ceylon tea, sweetened with one spoonful of honey and topped with milk.
- At 1:55pm I sat once more over the loo for two tinkles and then signed Angelica off with my thanks and byes; she's back same time next Tuesday.
- Suddenly Ping Yee comes with some wontons for PIG mum! I open the door for her~
- Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day, I'll use the looo for one tinkle and then sit to read for one hour and munch arvo tea. Hope PIG mum remembers to gimme some rice!!
- At 5:30pm Lorraine's taking me to Toastmasters! I'm timekeeper and warm-up master; theme's 'weird laws'.
- Toms: hope PIG mum helps me up not too late and takes me grocery shopping somewhere before coming home for lunch since Holly's rostered down to take me to table tennis. Only she hasn't appeared for awhile ...?
- Mostly I'm looking forward to CAKE for Justin's birthday toms :D
- Unsure why the font suddenly went MASSIVE?! I've tried making it smaller! XD
- Presuming David will come pick me up for BYO dinner and GG Bible study @ 6:45pm? Will confirm when I'm going to table tennis toms~
- Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
