Saturday Post 327

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1510 steps (ha, I'm just  over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily  devotional topic from last night's 'Life Hangs On The World Of God'; thirdly,  TWFT topic's 'Get Ready For Change (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Gifts Repurposed By God' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-ONE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 184TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 16TH consecutive awesome sleep last night!~ Nature  didn't call until 7am and after one pot :P ttrip, 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*
• Afterwards, Daddy Bear and I happily  cuddled and snored, nature not calling again until nearly 9am! Shortly after another pot :P trip, noisy  PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs and 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 totally ignored my poor foot last night  - like she's done for the past ONE MONTTH and two days! >< Never mind, Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes last night and let her war her sock to sleep last night but obviously tugged the sock off first thing this morning! XD Once she hits  me with the eye goo and returns out into the house awaiting Jane's arrival,   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 opens the door for Jane @ 9:30am, Jane knocks my closed door, sticks her head in, says "Good morning Em" and "Fifteen more minutes, okay?" Daddy Bear responds with  a single paw flop and just like that she's gone, thus denying him the chance to imperiously wave his paw 'shoo'  @ her. XD
• Jane actually comes back half a minute  early; when she opens the door (without knocking this time) I screech "thirty more seconds!" and phew, she instead uses those thirty seconds to open the windows. XD
• The thirty seconds up, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to  the bathroom to brush teeth. After drinking one tall cup of water, I sit 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! 

  
  

  Cheers,
