Saturday Post 323

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard  @ work plodding 1506 steps (ha, I'm just over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'God Forgives, And Is Still Just'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Money: How You Get It, And Give It' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Living Out God's Love". Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, what better way to start the weekend then with my second consecutive awesome sleep last night? Nature didn't call until 6:45am 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*
• Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore; the next time nature calls again  following another pot :P trip 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*
• More cuddling and snoring from Daddy Bear and me; PIG mum's daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs my wakeup call to use the pot :P once more. Soon, she's let herself  into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor Elf's ankle 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 but obviously peeled the sock off first thing this morning! XD
• Since Louiza didn't arrive @ 9:45am, PIG mum immediately gave me fifteen more minutes. I immediately comply telling mother I'm sure Louiza's just stuck in traffic so tell her to get me up @ 9:45am after she comes. Sure enough, that's exactly what happens!  XD
• Once I've counted down from 900 I announce that I'm hungry to Louiza and swing myself over to  the pot :P for one more tinkle. She's inside the bathroom and immediately comes; we get me kitted and yup, she confirms that she was late since she was stuck in traffic along the Ipswich motorway.
• I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth, before drinking one tall cup of water then sitting over  the loo proper. 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  head out to the gobbling :P table with Louiza. Breakfast's my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado, another full mug of water, all  my usual drugs :P  and my  first big mug of white tea sweetened with two  teaspoonfuls of sugar. Over and after breakfast I happily read A Fortunate Life for thirty minutes first up!
• Reading finished, I ask Louiza please to gimme (face and both hands) some sunscreen then she  walks behind me back to the loo before going and washing the breakfast dishes up.
• After sitting over the loo for one tinkle, I climb into the passenger seat of Louiza's car and she tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace, parking  around the side and grabbing a trolley for us.
• First we buy groceries from Woolies. Like I've said, I don't mind  shopping with carers since they lemme sit on the self-serve checkout  machine.  Wonder why the parents won't?
• We're walking towards Sushi  Creators when the guy  behind the counter looks up, sees me  coming and raises a finger in the air? I  reply with a thumbs up; by the  time we reach the  counter he's already packaged my  sushi and hands it  to Louiza, going "Four dollars." Louiza looks @ me, asking have you ordered yet? I mime our little conversation;   she laughs and pays the guy.    XD
• Back home, I take 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. At 12:25pm I asked Louiza to please massage Ela but she dithered around washing dishes before very gently massaging he for like ten minutes.
• At 12:55pm I sat over the loo once more for two tinkles then signed Louiza off with my thanks and byes. She's back next Thursday 9:30am till 1pm/thereabouts.
• Instead of reading all  arvo to reach three hours I'm gonna pen a long letter to  Dr. Dr. Tai; she turned FIFTY like eight days ago hence why I bought her a proper '50' card today!
• Have reminded the parents to gimme dinner @ 6pm while I'm watching the news coz the Broncos are playing @ 7!
• Toms: just church, nothing special. Resigned to a bite of lunch with dad @ Hungry Jack's then a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum. *sigh*But should  the Broncos win tonight; I'm definitely reading match report  after match  report toms  arvo   and basking in their glory! XD
• Anyways, hopefully bbl,   else looking forward to seeing everyone  @ church  toms!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^
