Tuesday Post 669

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3734 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Giver Gets The Glory' (seems familiar?); thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Be Sure To Praise The Lord' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Hope In Faith'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't  call until 6:30am, 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*
• Afterwards, Mini Pearl and I had a MASSIVE snore; nature didn't call again until like 9am! Shortly afterwards, PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs and soon she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor Elf's ankle a very brief rub since she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night. Doesn't matter; Era rubbed Elf for fifteen minutes last night and let her wear her sock to sleep last night but obviously peeled it off first thing this morning! XD
• After PIG mum lets Peggy inside @ 9:30am, Peggy knocks, pushes open the door and announces, "Good morning." When I nod Mini Pearl @ her, she next states "Fifteen more minutes." Mini Pearl nods again, then flicks his body 'shoo' @ Peggy, who smirks and wisely withdraws. XD
• When Peggy comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth.  Thanks to Peggy who's already squirted some toothpaste for me.
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle and wash and dry Era before heading out to the gobbling :P table with Peggy, who tells me that she had her usual two fried eggs for breakfast.
• For my breakfast, I get one bowl of healthy cereal with all my usual drugs :P and one tall cup 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*
• Since Peggy had already smothered my face and both hands with sunscreen before giving me breakfast, when I was finished, she accompanied me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing up the breakfast dishes.  Over the loo proper 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, I climb into the backseat of Auto (pronounced Alto) and Peggy tootles me off to Pinelands Plaza to buy a bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse. Thanks to Peggy who gets a trolley for us on arrival, even though PIG mum didn't need any groceries from Coles today.
• Aunty Nancy served me today; when I asked her how are you she just waved a hand in front of her face and grunted, "No goof. Too hot." Aww, ovens in bakeries, understandably she's boiling!
• After saying cya next week, our other stop's Woolies @ Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown  to buy groceries from Woolies but good grief, like ALL the parking was gone and Peggy didn't find parking until the middle of nowhere! ><
• Not only that, what mother wanted from Woolies (tuna) wasn't available! But @ least we got some toilet rolls. XD
• Then I happily read Sibling Assassins @ the library while Peggy went grocery shopping @ ALDI.
• Back home, I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing   Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was my delicious crunchy pork bahn mi plus one huge mug of delicious vanilla chai; also thanks to Peggy who managed to one packet of sugar for me! Usually, I prefer my tea with two teaspoonfuls but hey, one's better than none!
• At 1:55pm I went to the loo for two more tinkles; @ 2pm Peggy left. I'll see her again same time next Tuesday.  Unsure why she said I was 'sensitive' today?
• Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day I'll use the loo for one tinkle then sit and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea; hope she remembers that I need RICE!!
• Lorraine's taking me to Toastmasters but it's  gonna be a small meeting: four members, unless guests come!
• Pity I'm only getting an UnHappy Meal with an orange juice for dinner *sigh*
• Toms: hopefully PIG mum'll help me up not too late and take me grocery shopping and aisle walking somewhere before we come home for lunch since Jane's not taking me to table tennis until 1:30pm and apparently, I'm playing table tennis @ church with dad again toms night!
• But fingers crossed I can watch  the 6pm news bulletin for the 18th time!
• Doubt I'll  post  again tonight; hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
