Friday Post 332

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4389 steps (ooh I'm already over four  grand; that doesn't happen too often!); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Jesus Bought Your Endurance'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'How To Make Anger Work For You (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Greater" but fifthly  and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTEEN MINUTES after I watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 178TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Grr, I'd just started an awesome sleep streak (four nights) last night when nature randomly called around 12:45am and ended it! >< Never mind;  'twas a sound sleep apart from  that~ *sigh*
  • After the first daylight pot :P trip, I immediately did the exercises Winnie taught me to prevent further back pain then 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 when noisy PIG mum begins her 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 okay;  Era rubbed Elf for fifteen minutes last night and let her wear her sock to sleep last night though obviously tugged the sock off first thing this morning! XD
  • After PIG mum les the new carer she instructs her to gimme fifteen more minutes. When Rebecca returns and taps me,  I sit up, introduce myself and sit over  the loo for three more tinkles before we get me kitted. I've got dreadful facial recognition but think I'll remember her since she's got a very prominent mole on her chin and that she's Hongkie like me!
  • I head over to the bathroom to  brush teeth  before sitting over  the loo   for one tinkle then washing and drying Era before heading out to the gobbling :P table with Rebecca, who tells me that she had steak for breakfast this morning!
  • Me, I  get one slice of  dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and for some  reason the PLATE (not the toast) very lightly sprinkled with salt (no problem; I just licked the plate clean afterwards XD), all my usual drugs :P  and one full mug of  water. Thanks also to Rebecca who turned Sunrise on for my viewing pleasure~ 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 ask Rebecca to please gimme some sunscreen and then she walks behind me back to the loo before returning to the kitchen and washing 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! 
  • After washing and drying Era, I climb into  the passenger seat of Rebecca's car and she kindly  helps me buckle my seatbelt before driving us out to the NAB.
  • Getting a smooth run, we've more than ten minutes to poke @ our smartphones before heading upstairs @ 9:50.
  • Today Vincente wasn't with me but Ami! It's pronounced hammer without the 'h'!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
