Friday Post 565

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4678 steps (sweet, already over   4.5 grand; that's uncommon!); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Christmas Model For Missions'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Your New Resurrection Body (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Resting  In God' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-THREE MINUTES online after I watch  the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 236TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until  7:45am, 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*

•  Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking   again for the pot :P around 9am, shortly   before noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor Elf a very brief rub since she'd totally ignored her last night (and all the other weekdays beforehand). That's alright, Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes last night and let her wear her sock to sleep, although obviously peeled the sock off Elf first thing this morning! XD
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^
