Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1944 steps (so trust I'll have reached two grand before the day's out XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's '7 Reasons Not To Worry Part 1'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Pray Boldly (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Persevering Into Joy'. Anyways, events for today?
- Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7am 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* Not only that, for the first time in three months I woke remembering a DREAM: Bree was driving me to Underwood Lake! I've not seen her for years I don't think; presume she's graduated nursing and stopped doing support work for a nursey job? She was only twenty-eight when I first met her and spoke cool phrases like "Sure thing, chicken wing"! XD
- Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore; after nature calls again (shortly before 8am) and 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*
- PIG mum a-THUMPING around upstairs around 9am wakes me for one more pot :P trip; 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 last night and let Elf wear her sock to sleep last night but obviously tugged the sock off first thing this morning! XD
- After PIG mum lets Jane inside, Jane knocks, pushes open the door and says "Good morning Em; I'll come back in fifteen more minutes and help you up, okay?" Daddy Bear gives a single paw nod and just like that she's gone; he doesn't even get the chance to imperiously wag his paw 'shoo' @ her!
- 900 seconds later I swing myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle and announce "Jane I'm hungry." She's inside the bathroom and comes immediately. We get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth then drink one tall cup of water before 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 Jane, who tells me that she drank some kinda protein shake for breakfast. Me, I get my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with some avocado, drink my first big mug of white tea sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar, pop all my usual drugs :P and drink another tall cup of water. Over and after breakfast I happily read for thirty minutes first up. reaching page fifty @ exactly 10:30!
- Once the alarm goes off, Jane covers my face, neck, throat and both hands with sunscreen then washes the breakfast stuff up while I use the loo for one more tinkle.
- Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
- Bought groceries from Coles from Woolies Underwood MarketPlace plus my once-weekly honey chicken sushi roll from The Sushi Creators.
- Got homeUsed loo once more for two tinkles @ 12:55pm then signed Jane off with my thanks and byes; she's doing the Bridge To Brisbane toms with her partner too - the 10km one! and showered - hairwash today. Also thanks to Jane who rinses out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
- Lunch is one yummy tuna in tomato and onion with TWO slices of cheese plus two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar. I happily read for another fifty-five minutes, reaching page seventy-five @ 12:38pm.
- Used the loo for two more tinkles @ 12:55pm then signed Jane off with my thanks and byes; she's back for table tennis next Wednesday and will do the10km B2B event with her partner toms!
- Me, once I've used up the most important two hours of my day I'll use the loo for one tinkle then sit @ the gobbling :P table and munch my arvo tea honey chicken sushi roll. Also, Jane found the teabag Singular Bee Gee gave me yesterday inside Sally yesterday and returned it; I'm drinking it this arvo!
- Toms: instead of attending ESS toms, I'm doing the Bridge To Brisbane 5km event with Louiza and the NAB gang! The plan's walk the 1st km, use Sparkless3 for the 2nd km, walk the 3rd km, use Sparkless3 for thee 4th km and then walk the 5th km. I've got till midday to cross the finish line; should I still not have finished come 11:45am/11:55am, I'll just sit into Sparkless3 and Louiza'll push me really fast the rest of the way but obviously I'll get up and walk across the finish line myself! Mostly I'm looking forward to the freebies: a copy of the Sunday Mail, my medal and I even vaguely recall that someone handed out free chocolate energy drinks @ the end!
- Louiza's with me till 4pm so we'll have lunch @ Ho Lin Wah again before heading home for a shower.
- Anyways, hopefully bbl else hope everyone has a smashing Sunday ahead!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
