Saturday Post 324

 Good afternoon!  Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2308 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "Forgiven For Jesus's Sake";  thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Jesus Is In Your  Corner (2)' and thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Breath Of Life". Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 5th consecutive  awesome sleep  last night! Nature didn't call until 7:45am, and after one pot :P trip  I immediately did those exercises Winnie  taught me  to prevent further back pain before 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 around 9am just before PIG mum begins her daily noisy  a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let  herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and gives Elf's ankle a very  brief rub, since she'd totally ignored my poor  foot   last night. That's alright; Era rubbed Elf for fifteen minutes last night and let  her wear her sock to sleep but obviously tugged it off first thing this morning! XD Before she did that,  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*

  • Once PIG mum lets Jane in,  she knocks, says good morning and I'll come back  and help you  up  in fifteen more minutes, okay? Daddy  Bear gives a paw nod and imperiously flicks his paw 'shoo' @ her  and she wisely leaves but when she comes back two minutes early I protest; luckily, she goes and washes my glasses for me first.  XD
  • 900 seconds later I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, asking had she taken holidays? Eeep, no, she'd  caught appendicitis! o_O
  • We get me kitted, I head over to he 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  for breakfast with Jane. 
  • Aside from munching my weekly  fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very thinly  spread with some avocado, I also enjoy my first big mug of white tea with one spoonful of  honey, pop all my usual drugs :P and drain another tall mug of water. Over and after breakfast I happily  read A Fortunate Life for thirty minutes.
  • Reading done, I ask Jane please to gimme (my  face  and both  hands) some sunscreen  before I use the loo  for one more tinkle then climb into the passenger seat of Sally the Stonic.
  • Jane tootles us off to Underwood Marketplace, parks underground and grabs a trolley  for  us.
  • First, I buy groceries from Woolies; that nice Africa man's manning the checkout today! I thought his name was Hambo  but it's actually like Ilyambo?
  • Groceries bought, we head next to Sushi  Creators to   get my honey   chicken sushi   roll. Sweet, Jane just  gets me to lean  against the countter while she orders it. When the girl hands her the receipt, Jane's surprised she knew Jane wanted one but  the girl nods @ me and laughs, explaining "She's a regular." XD
  • Back home I take a nice hot shower -  hairwash  today. Also  thanks to Jane who helps me rinse out my  hair, thus freeing Era to  hold my  stupid  right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch is one bowl of the yummy pasta I helped PIG mum cook  yesterday plus TWO more big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey. We'd worked it out beforehand: since mother may  be around, I'd just pass her my empty cup   and she'd know what to do.  XD
  • At 12:55pm I  sat once more over the loo for two  tinkles then signed Jane off with my thanks and byes.  She's back toms and we're having lunch   @ Ho Lin Wah, woot!
  • Once I've used up   the most important  two hours of my day I'll use the loo for one tinkle then  sitt, munch my  arvo  tea sushi roll  and read A Fortunate Life for anotther two  hours and five/ten minutes, since it's only Wednesdays that I get   to   spend a blessed three hours reading~
  • Toms: just  church, nothing special. Actually, the special thing's that Jane's taking me for lunch to Ho Lin  Wah while PIG mum's enjoying her coffee and gossip session with her auntty friends! Phew that  Jane eats Chinese and isn't  vegetarian.
  • Jane will see me homw annd showered before leaving  @ 4pm. No plans for the rest  of the day.
  • Anyways, hopoefully bbl,  else looking forward to  seeing  everyone @ church toms!Cheers,Em. ^^
