Saturday Post 565

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3437 steps (so will definitely have cracked 3.5 grand before the day's out XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'No Detour From Calvary'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Be Careful What You Watch' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'God Sees Me' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm  really  still owed FIFTY-SEVEN MINUTES  online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin  (Nine's) for the 229TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like the past three days, nature didn't call until 6:10am 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*
• Not only that, I woke with a remembered dream! For 15th remembered dream this year, I'm taking some bus ride, only there's some power outage and every where's blacked out! Luckily, the bus's own lights still work; everyone breaks into a round of applause for the driver once he safely steers us to our destination in the dark. XD
• Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore; when nature calls again after another pot :P trip 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*

•  Shortly before Jane arrives @ 9:30am, PIG mum lets her into my room to hit me with the eye goo, and I immediately tell her my dream and ask her to please help me remember it!
  

• Once Jane arrives, she knocks, opens the door and bids me good morning. When I wave Mini Pearl, she says fifteen more minutes okay? After another nod from Mini Pearl, she wisely removes herself; phew, since Mini Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD

• When Jane comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle and then we get me kitted, before I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. After drinking one mug of water, I sit over the loo proper and 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!

  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
