Tuesday Post 193

Good afternoon! Firstly, today I’ve been hard @ work plodding 2271 steps and secondly, TWFT topic’s ‘Misconceptions About Success (2)’ but thirdly and way most importantly, I’m still owed THIRTY-SIX MINUTES online after I get home from Toastmasters tonight!!! Anyways, events for today?
- Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn’t call until 7:15am and after one pot :P trip, I spend the ten minutes until 7:25am starting 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*
- There isn’t any point trying to fall back asleep coz PIG mum’s coming into my bedroom @ 7:45am to help me up; instead, I silently, slowly but most hatefully sing 25% of my newest second-favourite song inside my head, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
- When PIG mum does come and hit me with the eye goo, she not only helps me very slightly with a bra but a tee also, coz dearest dad hasn’t left for work yet.
- After giving myself fifteen more minutes, I get myself mostly independently kitted. PIG mum comes back to help with Elf’s AFO and both shoelaces; I rejoice, coz that means today I should get a break from practising tying shoelaces~
- I let PIG mum gleefully FORCE L me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth (poor Ela). Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for two tinkles, also leaning fully against the side rail and continue 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 washing and drying Era, I 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 plain (without honey) Weet-bix, several Weet-bix bites and a scattering of bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Brab XD); three different cereals! I also drink one full mug of water, take all my usual drugs :P and spend about ten minutes 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 breakfast, I let PIG mum gleefully FORCE L me to walk out to the 4WD and she tootles me off to UQ for physio. Of course, she gleefully forces me to buckle my own seatbelt all day, we start off listening to 97.3FM and today, Era helps Ela stretch for forty minutes, before Ela opens and closes her palm 250x, holding each for a count of five.
- Physio today: around thirteen sit-to-stands, four laps walking along hallway and mat work, four point kneeling to two point kneeling to pushing upright fifteen times.
- When we leave, we bump into Andrew and learn he’s got his driver’s license back! I’ve already asked him to gimme a lifr to the Warrigal Square Maccas when he’s free. XD
- PIG mum tootles us off to Garbo; she says I’ve got like sixty bucks worth of QBD book gift vouchers to spend. The year before, I’d accidentally let one expire (forty bucks worth; but huge thanks to the lady who winked conspiratorially, leaned forward and murmured quietly, “If you quickly go now and choose some books I’ll still let you use them!” XD) and I wasn’t stupid enough to let that happen again!
- I got the newest Harry Potter book, a Feist, a Picoult and another random author I’ve never read before!
- Afterwards, we hiked all the way back to the upstairs food court and PIG mum bought us Hanaichi for lunch. While she was queueing, I started reading the newest Harry Potter, only to find out ‘twas some special script edition! When PIG mum ame back, she agreed to walk all the way back to QBD with me and see could I please switch it for the real novel.
- Only when I got there and asked the lady, did I learn that J.K Rowling had actually published the book in script format; that there actually wasn’t a real version! Lol, I felt like the stupidest person on the planet for not knowing; seeing my embarrassed look, the lady behind the counter laughed and reassured me, “Oh, don’t worry, lotsa people came back after buying the book with the same question; you’re nowhere the first!” Phew, I didn’t feel so dumb after that. XD
- PIG mum tootled me home; I used the loo once then popped online.
- Carol’s coming to mind me @ 4pm then taking me to Toastmasters tonight! We’re in some new room, D-304 and I’m Warm-up Master! Theme for tonight’s ‘Birthdays’.
- Fingers crossed that PIG mum’ll lemme buy some dinner back home from Maccas; never mind that Happy Meals were what I had @ LEAST two DECADES ago!
- Toms: Presuming I’m going grocery shopping with PIG mum somewhere toms, else I doubt I’ll pass 1000 steps.
- Aunty Deana’s coming to mind me from 12:30pm till 3:30pm and excitement: we’re going for the first of our three lunches out this year! Originally, I was thinking about lunch @ Springwood Tower Hotel but Aunty Deana says the food photos don’t look fresh; instead, she’s recommending some place where she lives. Only she’s not entirely sure if that place is still open. XD
- Then PIG mum guesses it’s Carol coming back to mind me from 4pm till 6pm.
- Best of all, tomorrow night’s ice cream night; like I always say, a verry little’s better than none @ all!
- Anyways, hopefully bbl, else hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
P.S. At 4:17pm I played one game of Bejeweled lasting 6:07. Will willingly hit the sack tonight when I play one more lasting in between five and six minutes. XD

P.P.S. Yup, it’s 4:26pm now and I’ve just played another game lasting 5:15. Will willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
