Good afternoon again! Take two: firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2516 steps (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Remedy for Pride'; thirdly, TWFT's "Salvation's A Gift" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's daily devotional topic's 'From Every Nation." Anyways, events for today?
- I'm not surprised nature called last night; after videochatting with Aunty Nga for like twenty minutes she suddenly told me that she was running a temperature and I'm like eep, go rest!" ><
- After the first daylight 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 @ 7:45am and once more 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 and give poor Elf a very brief rub since she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night. That's alright; Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes and let her wear her sock to sleep last night although obviously peeled the sock off first thing this morning! XD
- PIG mum hits me with the eye goo, helps exceedingly slightly with nothing bar the bra strap and the tee (and only since I protested dad was still @ home) and then left 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 sat over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era 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 is one bowl of healthy cereal with 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*
- Breakfast finished, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the bathroom, 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, PIG mum tootles me off to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Obviously, she gleefully forced me to buckle my own seatbelt all day; we also had to listen to her Spotify playlist all day too, since she wouldn't lemme listen to the radio.
- At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle then huge thanks to him who treated my sore back with a quick massage before I lay down for more massage and some acupuncture. PIG mum was in her element, yapping ceaselessly @ him with multiple repeated syllables; my grateful thanks to Ray who always replied and kept a conversation flowing.
- After another loo trip, PIG mum tootles us back to Warrigal Woolies to buy groceries. It's only after she's grabbed the soup beef and we're walking down the length of the store does PIG mum suddenly realise her wallet's not inside her bag! o_O She puts the groceries back and we leave immediately~
- Dearest dad's home when we arrive home and phew, PIG mum immediately finds her wallet!
- I finish reading today's Bible passages and plop online briefly for (literally) a few minutes before being summoned over for lunch, which is just leftovers from last night's dinner. Unsure why we can't just enjoy one proper meal out without taking leftovers for lunch the next day?
- Lunch's spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I use the loo for one tinkle then walk 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.
- Lorraine's minding me from 4-6pm today; she'd better arrive promptly!
- Hoping to read The Horse Whisperer for one hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 14TH time.
- Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm; fingers crossed PIG mum'll FINALLY lemme grab lunch with her @ Lucky Cafe! But if not, I suppose it's buying groceries from Pinelands Coles and grabbing a crunchy pork bahn mi for lunch afterwards. Perhaps I can try asking for a Vietnamese iced coffee? It's like the middle of Summer now!
- Originally Christy jie was gonna pop over with bubs but PIG mum said don't since that's when Renee's cleaning but 4pm's already too late for Christy jie? Well I'm hoping for my most important two hours of the day, reading The Horse Whisperer for one hour and watching the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 15TH time!
- Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
