Saturday Post 616

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3645 steps (ha, I'm over 3.5 grand but doubt I'll reach four grand before the night ends, sorry XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic   from last night's "Jesus Is God's Amen"; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Keep Calm And Carry On" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional  topic's "God's Timing" but  fifthly   and way most importantly,  I'm  really   still  owed  ONE HOUR and TWENTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after I  watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 48TH time!!  Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, what better way than to start the weekend with my second consecutive awesome sleep last night?  Likje yesterday, nature didn't call until  6:25am 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*
• Daddy Bear and I happily cuddled and snored; when nature called again around 7:45am I used the pot :P again before 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*
• PIG mum's daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs shortly after 9am wakes me for one more pot :P trip; soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before returning outside and awaiting Jane's arrival @ 9:45am.
• Once PIG mum let JUane inside Jane knocked, pushed open the door and called "Good morning, Em; fifteen more minutes." I only had time to nod Daddy Bear @ her before Jane immediately shut the door; Daddy Bear missed out his chance to flop his paw 'shoo' @ her! XD
• Once I'd counted down the fifteen more minutes, I swung myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle  and announced "Jane, I'm hungry."
• Jane immediately came inside, we got me kitted and then I headed over to  the bathroom and brushed teeth. After drinking one 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.  ^^
