Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2532 steps (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "Live Confident In God's Sovereign Power"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Study. Work. Hope. Perseverance.' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Pray For Them'. Anyways, events for today?
- Woo hoo, 17TH 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*
- PIG mum does her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs before letting herself into my room and hitting me with the eye goo. After she helps me with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap she lays the tops out for me then leaves me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into the tops then giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
- PIG mum returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry both hands then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
- Breakfast is one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with some avocado and hopefully very lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. 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 walk myself slowly and safely back to the bathroom, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 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 climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). She tootles us off to church and parks outside the service hall. I hike up the ramp, use the disabled loo (yay, someone had left the lid up and seat down) myself, wash and dry Era then grab my usual spot for service on the most left.
- Yay I stayed seated for worship today. I sang everything plus the harmony for all four songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
- Pastor Aaron spoke today; his sermon topic was Presence, Prayer And Wise Speech. Since Pastor Aaron spoke Chinese, Susannah translated for him!
- Service ended twenty-nine minutes early! By the time PIG mum came for me, everyone had already cleared out but she told me the Canto sermon hadn't even finished yet!
- I used the loo for another tinkle myself then sat around the back, munching one packet of Arnott's bikkies and drinking one plastic cup of unsweetened (seemingly) milk tea.
- Bernard moved his car up to where dad usually parks and dad walked with me over to his car then Bernard tootled me off to lunch with other EM folk!
- Susannah had chosen Ippindon @ Runcorn Plaza. I'd really wanted tto try the BBQ duck me but PIG mum denied me that, screeching 'twas too expensive so instead I went with a little saucer of fried chicken and one bowl of plain rice; afterwards, Bernard even went with me next door to Goncha and I got myself a LARGE chocolate cookie milk tea with pearl; half ice normal sugar! I quickly chugged it all before getting home lest PIG mum nab some again. XD
- Lol, nobody was home when I arrived! I rang PIG mum and Bernard just accompanied ne over to the bench before he left. Great timing: just as he pulled out the driveway, dearest dad arrived home~
- Back inside I used the loo for one more tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
- Won't eat dinner out tonight since poor dad's already fasting for his procedure toms! Dulp ... and I've got Toastmasters Tuesday night but hopefully Wednesday night!
- Apparently someone's minding me toms and taking me to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture before Louiza takes me to Breathe for physio @ 2:30pm?
- Hoping to read The Rose Code for another hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 186TH time, provided that I can watch it for the 185TH time tonight!
- Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
Cheers,Em. ^^
