Thursday Post 331

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4448 steps (aww, how come I couldn't have plodded four steps fewer?? 4444 would've looked cooler! But yay that I'm over four grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional  topic from last night's 'We Work By Grace'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Acquire A Taste For God's Word"  and fourthly, Our Daily  Bread's devotional topic's 'Who Do You Need?' Anyways, events for today?

  • Aww, nature prevented me from starting an awesome sleep streak last night! >< Never mind, I was prolly just too excited that I was meeting Reverend Chris and Pastor Grace for our once-termly lunch today.  *sigh*
  • Following the first 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 again for the pot :P when dearest dad comes to kiss me bye and retuck me back into bed,  saying he's getting his eyes checked today!
  • More happy cuddling and snoring from Daddy Bear and me, nature calling once more around 9am just before PIG mum begins her noisy daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself  into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor Elf a very brief rub, since she totally ignored my poor foot last night.  That's alright, Era rubbed Elf for fifteen minutes and let her wear her sock to sleep though obviously peeled the sock off first thing this morning! XD
  • After PIG mum lets Louiza inside @ 9:30am, she knocks, opens the door and says "Hi Em;  I'll help you up in fifteen, okay?" Daddy Bear gives one paw nod that imperiously flicks his paw 'shoo!' @ her;  Louiza smirks and wisely closes the door, leaving us be and thus saving  her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
  • Once I've counted down from 900 I announce to Louiza that I'm hungry and swing myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle. She immediately  comes, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth before sitting over the loo  for one tinkle.  After washing and drying Era I head out to the gobbling :P table with Louiza, rousing @ her for  skipping breakfast this morning and informing her that she'd buy herself some breakfast while I was enjoying lunch with Pastor Grace and Reverend Chris today. XD
  • For breakfast I  had one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and for some reason the PLATE (not the bread) very lightly sprinkled with salt (hence why I licked the plate clean afterwards XD), all my usual drugs :P and one full mug 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,  Louiza walks behind me back  to the bathroom then returns to the kitchen and washes the breakfast dishes up. 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! 
  • Then I take a sizzling hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Louiza who  helped me rinse out my  hair, thus freeing Era to hold my  stupid right eye tight shut. Apparently, hot showers aren't  good for you but cold ones are? I don't care; it's like the middle of Winter now; I'm freezing my socks and I need a HOT shower! Promise I'll return to warm showers once Spring  arrives.  XD
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted I return to the gobbling :P table and wait while Louiza cleans the bathroom. After one more tinkle, I wash and dry  Era before climbing into the backseat of Louiza's car and she tootles me off to Calamvale Central to enjoy my once termly lunch with Reverend Chris and Pastor Grace @ Lucky Cafe!
  • Unfortunately all the disabled parks are gone meaning I've gotta cross the road before catching the lift up  to where Lucky Cafe is. I hike to the back where the comfy sofa seats are then note with dismay that neither set meal (A's some curry with rice dish and B's some XO sauce dish) sets me, but luckily PIG mum left me twenty-five bucks in case and so I picked this baked fish rice  in cream sauce with a cold HK-style milk tea (Lucky Cafe doesn't offer mocha!) and three curry fish ball set for $24.70! I'm not a fan of curry but the fish balls were so  delicious I  had two; when Pastor Grace asked could she please try one of course I said yes! I offered the third to Reverend Chris but he replied no thanks.
  • Grace told me to ring Louiza for pickup after I'd finished and they left exactly one hour after arriving. After Louiza came I asked her are we going back down to your car and you'll drive around to the other end of Calamvale Central before we buy groceries for mother but she replied no, your mum orders you walk all the way there and back. No biggie, but huge thanks to Louiza who got us a trolley first and during that trip I  sang 47% of my shorter second-favourite song  softly, slowly but most hatefully out aloud, closing the left eye for all the important numbers.
  • Back home I quickly used the  loo for one more tinkle and asked Louiza to please help me remove the bra before signing her off with my thanks and byes.  She's back 8am next Thursday for GCCW!
  • Once  I've used up the most important two hours of my day I'll use the loo   for one tinkle then sit and eat the arvo tea PIG mum kindly left me before returning online and watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 162ND time!
  • Have reminded  both parents to please gimme dinner @ 7pm since coverage of the Broncos vs.  Panthers game begins @ 7:30pm! But good grief: the Broncos have already lost the past  SIX and are playing the PANTHERS tonight ... *cringe*
  • Best of all, it's ice cream night tonight;  like I  always say, a very little's better than none @ all!
  • Toms: can't  remember who's coming @ 8am, helping me up and taking me to  the NAB for my final  NAB session with  Sarah but it's Fun Shirt Friday!
  • Also can't remember what I'm cooking with the OT but   pretty sure it's  cooking week ... well,  PIG mum'll decide.
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^
