Friday Post 639

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 5201 steps (sweet I'm more than half a normal person today; that's rare! XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Caused To Return'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'This Experience Is Preparing You' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "In God's Presence" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THREE MINUTES after I watch the 6pm news (Seven's) for the 19TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 6th 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*
• Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me not waking again for the pot :P until around 9am, just before noisy 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 before heading back outside and awaiting Jane's arrival @ 9:30am.
• After PIG mum lets Jane inside, Jane knocks, opens the door and just calls "Em, fifteen more minutes." Mini Pearl just flicks his body @ her going shoo; he's rather miffed that she didn't bid us good morning first! XD
• But when Jane reenters my room fifteen minutes later, she says this time "Good morning, Em; time to get up" and Mini Pearl immediately forgives her. XD
• I use the pot :P for one tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table with Jane,  who tells me that she had her usual smoothie for breakfast today.

  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
