Saturday Post 566

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2899 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'What Jesus Did To Death'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Bible Reading: The Key To Spiritual Growth (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Friendship Bench but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 3rd time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 6:35am 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*

• When nature called again about one hour later, following 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*

• Mushroom, Mini Pearl and I happily snore, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. @ 9:30am, she lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and gimme fifteen more minutes before returning outside and awaiting Sharon's arrival @ 9:45am.

• Once she arrives, I immediately use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. After drinking one tall cup of water, I sit over the loo proper. 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!

  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Sharon, who tells me she had two fried eggs for breakfast.

• But I only get one! That was on one slice of toast very lightly smeared with avocado. I also pop all my usual drugs :P and drink another tall mug of water. Over and after breakfast, I happily read Ghost Boy for thirty minutes

• After Sharon slathers my face and both arms with sunscreen, she accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning  too the kitchen to close and lock windows. I use the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then climb into the passenger seat of Sharon's car.

• Sharon tootles us off to Underwood Marketplace, parking around the side and grabbing a trolley for us.

• First, we buy groceries from Woolies (the African checkout dude that's really nice scans our items for us) and that @ Sushi Creations I buy my honey chicken sushi roll for arvo tea and Sharon buys herself two teriyaki chicken sushi rolls for lunch.
