Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2399 steps (just taking last Friday's total coz idiot Wally reset himself! ><); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Battle To Remind'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Don't 'Fly Off The Handle'" and fourthly, the spam count for the week's eighty. Anyways, events for today?
-
Usually nature calls hourly but today happiness was snoring all the way until dearest dad very considerately walked silently along the hallway and unpopped the lock into the garage before waking for another pot :P trip.
After dearest dad kisses me bye, retucks me back into bed and leaves for her hard day's work, I happily snore for about another hour, waking once more for the pot :P shortly before PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside to await Verena's arrival.
When she arrives, she remembers to knock, say good morning and fifteen more minutes, but she comes back 2.5 minutes too early! Lucky, she goes away after Uber grouses @ her how much time I've still got left, else he'd have given her the Bear Bum. XD
When Verena comes back a second time, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Verena who squirts me some toothpaste; since PIG mum was otherwise preoccupied and wasn't around to gleefully force poor Ela to hold the toothbrush, that's the third consecutive break she's enjoyed!
Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for only one tinkle, coming out when I realise I feel like doing a stinky unspeakable.
Breakfast is the yummy vanilla custard bun Verena bought for me yesterday from New York Baguette, one bowl of bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD), all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. This box of flakey All-Bran's yummier then the sticks type; PIG mum says it's coz the latter has like half the fibre content of the former! 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, Verena accompanies me to the loo. While she closes and locks windows, 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 I wash and dry Era, I climb into Verena's backseat and she tootles me off to Calamvale Central. Thanks to her who helped me with my seatbelt both ways.
Parking outside, Verena grabs us a trolley and we first head into Woolies and buy groceries.
Next stop's the Mega Discount Fruit Market for a nashi pear!
We then get thgirty minutes to sit and play with our smartphones; Verena teaches me how to dunk the cookies and I've passed several more levels today!
Our last stop before going home's the bakery for my BBQ pork salad roll; this time, I wave Era signalling 'no' when I added "NO chilli, please!" The bakery lady just laughed. XD
Back home, I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Verena who helps me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
I have one tinkle before Verena flips the nice warm water off, get dried, get creamed and have another tinkle. When Verena rekits me, I have one more tinkle when she's helping with Erf's sock and one last when she's giving Wally back to Ela.
Back outside, lunch's the delicious BBQ pork salad roll and one mug of delicious vanilla chai with milk. After Karina leaves @ 2pm, I play Candy Crush Friends Saga and pass more levels; PIG mum didn't know coz she was sitting @ the sofa watching YouTube and I kept the phone muted. XD
Tiff came and cooked chicken fettuccine with white sauce with me! I'm eating some for arvo tea soon~
Looking forward to watching the news for the 13TH time!
Toms: enjoying my weekly sleep-in till 10:15am, although I can't remember who's coming to mind me: Hannah?
Also dunno if there's any table tennis toms arvo, but looking forward to my three big mugs of white tea and fingers crossed for the chance to read for three hours!
Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
