Sunday Post 326

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1872 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'What It Means To Love God'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "You're An Agent Of Reconciliation" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Jesus Revealed In Us'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, for the first time in three days, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:50am and after one pot :P trip I immediately tried falling back asleep again, since I knew PIG mum would get noisy upstairs very soon!
  • Unfortunately, sleep didn't return; around 114 breaths into counting myself back to sleep PIG mum went THUMP upstairs and I knew regaining sleep wasn't possible anymore. Instead, 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*
  • Around 7am, PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and laying out the tee before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into the tee and giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
  • PIG mum returns and finishes with   absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Breakfast is one bowl of healthy cereal with all my usual   drugs :P and one full 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*
  • After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the bathroom, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 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!
  • After washing and drying Era I climb into the backseat of Chery and buckle my own seatbelt (what I   do all day). PIG mum tootles us off to church, parking outside the ESS service hall. I hike up  the ramp, use the 1st cubicle of the regular female toilets (the disabled's unoccupied but  the lid's down  and horrid PIG mum won't lift it for me), wash  and dry both hands then head into the service hall but  before taking my usual spot Yu Lam intercepts me, saying you're on the welcome team this morning!
  • I sit and greet everyone until Pastor Peter Pie announces that service will begin shortly, then take my usual seat @ the back on the most left.
  • Yay, I get to stay seated for worship today. I sing everything, plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week, mean absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
  • Speaker today was Jordan; his sermon topic was What Would Give You Satisfaction? and service ended seventeen minutes early today.
  • After PIG mum came for me, I used the disabled loo for one more tinkle myself then just sat outside the service hall and had some morning tea. Aggie's mum came and gave me a Mother's Day present she had made herself! I said um, but I'm not a mother? She roars with laughter, tells me that she's Aggie's mum and says don't worry, they were leftovers! Her instructions: take home and refrigerate then steam for three minutes before eating.
  • When PIG mum was about to rock off for her weekly gossip and coffee social, I asked her to please come with me once more to the bathroom and when I came outside, Dr.  Esther was already there!
  • I followed David and she followed me, down the ramp and into her car's backseat. I pulled my seatbelt on, then David tootled us off to Mum's Wok for lunch! 
  • Lol, our table: Charlie, Peter Pie, Yu Lam, Rosanna and me: we ALL ordered the fried chicken bento!! XD I was good and ate nearly all my vegies; I only picked out one disgusting black bean after eating another. XD The Winter melon tea was delicious since it was sweetened! XD
  • Afterwards, Peter Pie and Yu Lam dropped me back home; I used the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era then walked myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Once I've used up the most important two hours of the day online, I'll use the loo for one tinkle then sit and wait for PIG mum to steam me the Mother's Day bun Aggie's mum gave me! Wonder will she demand any?
  • Also   wonder where dad will take us all for Mother's Day dinner?
  • Toms: PIG mum'll help me up since I'm seeing Ray for some late morning massage and acupuncture. Bet she's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him.   XD
  • Will doubtless come home for lunch, then Jane's minding me from   1:30pm till 6:30pm and taking me to Breathe for physio @ 2:30pm. Presume we're buying groceries afterwards then coming home for personal care.
  • Hoping I can watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) tonight for the 88TH time and toms for the 89TH time!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a  smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
