Saturday Post 325

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2540 steps (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily   devotional topic from last night's 'Embracing Jesus'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'God Forgives And Forgets (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The  Ends Of The Earth' but  fifthly and way most importantly, I'm  really still owed ONE HOUR and NINETEEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for  the 69TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! 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*
• Can't remember did nature call again @ 7:45am but it definitely did just before PIG mum began her daily noisy a-THUMPING around 9am. Soon, she's let herself into my room @ 9:30am to hit me with the eye goo and gimme fifteen more minutes since Jacinta's not arriving till 9:45am coz she's got a shift before me. After counting down the first five minutes, 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*

• After PIG mum lets Jacinta inside @ 9:45am, Jacinta knocks, opens the door, says good morning and taps me. I sit up, return the greetings then use the pot :P for one more tinkle before we get me kitted.
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^
