Thursday Post 327

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1295 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's "Seek Your City's Good"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Healing For Anxiety' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Staying In Step' but  fifthly last night  I was really still owed TWENTY-FOUR MINUTES online after PIG mum gleefully booted me off to bed; what a dreadful way to end an   awesome night where I enjoyed a KBBQ with all the other EM folks!! >< *sigh* Anyways, events for today?

• Aww, I'd been hoping for another consecutive awesome sleep considering I'd hit the sack later than usual; but nature randomly   called around 2:45am!! >< Never mind, I was prolly just too excited from the KBBQ last night. *sigh*
• Following the first morning 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*
• Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P around 7:45am when PIG mum begins her    daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Shortly, 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
• When Louiza doesn't arrive EXACTLY @ 8am PIG mum gives me fifteen more minutes, but Louiza arrives like ninety seconds later! XD After the fifteen more minutes and using the pot :P for one more tinkle, when Louiza's getting me kitted, she says she's found some new place to rent near Ipswich!
• ad over to the bathroom and brush teeth before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, when I'm heading out to the gobbling :P table with Louiza, she tells me that she had two fried eggs, toast and bacon for breakfast.
• Me, I get none of that for breakfast; just one dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P for me. Oh, I also pop all my usual drugs :P and drink one full mug of water. Thanks to Louiza who turned Sunrise on for my viewing pleasure; she also made me one big mug of Earl grey tea with milk once PIG mum left to go visit her friend although sadly, she couldn't find where the sneaky parents had hidden the sweetener. 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 ask Louiza to please   gimme (face and both hands) some sunscreen then she accompanies me back to thew bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing up the breakfast dishes. Over the loo, 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 climbed into the passenger seat of Louiza's car and she tootles me off to the library for GCCW! Thanks to her who helped me buckle my seatbelt both ways~
• At the library I  use the loo for one tinkle then discover today our meeting's in Meeting Room Two today. 
• Nine attended; thanks to Tammy who went with me to the bathroom during the break and Mary got us mini hot dogs for morning tea!
• Meeting ended nine minutes early today, there's a three-week break before our next meeting (since April has five Thursdays) and Tammy gave me the leftover ANZAC bikkies to take home! Louiza and I both munched one in her car, I wolfed down three more while she refueled her car @ some petrol station and the parents and I call all   have one each for arvo tea~
• After one more loo trip Louiza tootled me home and I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Louiza who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was one bowl of rice leftovers (thanks to Louiza who added a little oyster sauce for me and made it tasty) plus one huge mug of powdered HK-style milk tea.
• At 1:25pm I sat over the loo for two tinkles while PIG mum signed Louiza off and shooed her away. She's back same time next week; hopefully not late! XD
• Me, once I've used up the most important two hours of the day, I'll use the loo   for one tinkle then sit and read the Feist novel for one hour while waiting for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea.
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 73RD time.
• Tonight's ice cream night, yay! Like I say every single week, a very little's better than none @ all~
• Toms:  since I've got the MRI follow-up happening   @ the P.A, I get to skip two hours of physio, woot!
•  Wonder can I get lunch from the hospital cafeteria then buy groceries for my arvo cooking session with Ari/whoever?
• Will prolly haveta skip the reading for my most important two hours of the day online, the 6pm news, dinner then watching the Broncos from 7:30pm!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
