Monday Post 198

Good afternoon! Firstly, today I’ve been hard @ work plodding 2671 steps and secondly, TWFT topic’s ‘Keys To Spiritual Growth’ but thirdly and way most importantly, I’m still owed FIFTY-TWO MINUTES online after Kim comes and minds me for two hours!! Anyways, events for today?

-        Yay, 2^nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn’t call until 6:50am, and after one pot :P trip I cuddled the teddies and immediately tried falling back asleep, coz I hoped to use the pot :P once more when dearest dad came to kiss me bye before leaving for work one hour later!

Success~ After dearest dad had left for work, it wasn’t long until PIG mum started A-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she’d let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me very slightly with a bra before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I complied with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first. Whilst getting myself mostly independently kitted, I also spent 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 came back to help with Elf’s AFO and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE L me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth (poor Ela). Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for two tinkles, also leaning fully against the side rail and 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 roughly one bowl of plain porridge with one piece of dry (unbuttered) toast ripped into it, one full huge (PIG mum DELIBERATELY picks out the LARGEST mug we’ve got *sigh*) mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and barely one small half-mouthful of milk. Over breakfast, I also spend 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!

-        When PIG mum comes downstairs, I let her gleefully FORCE L me to walk out to the 4WD and she tootles me off to Market Square Dental for my half-yearly teeth clean. Of course, she gleefully forces me to buckle my own seatbelt all day; we listen to Jacky Cheung all day too and today, Era helps Ela stretch for thirty-five minutes before Ela opens and closes her palm @ least 150 times, holding each for a count of five.

-        Phew, there’s a parking spot right outside the entrance waiting for us~ Inside, I start reading this month’s New Weekly; when the dental assistant (Milly?) comes for me, PIG mum comes with.

-        I bid my teeth man (Kelvin) greetings; after I lie down on the dental chair and he asks me how things are, I immediately tell him about that scary incident that happened two nights ago. I also apologise in advance in case my stupid nose started exploding and asked to check that he still had all ten fingers (I’m always nervous that some patient will accidentally bite his fingers off XD)

-        During the clean, Kelvin explains to me that the bleeding was probably caused by tartar build-up in the gums which made them very sensitive; once I brushed that area, bleeding could occur. But he also reassured me that it was nothing to worry about, so phew.

-        The dental assistant walked back outside with me, then I stood up and braced against the counter while PIG mum paid Kelly. Kelvin’s awesome; he actually left me several of last month’s gossip mags to take home! When I saw him standing by his room door, I called out thanks and flashed him a thumbs up; Kelvin laughed and waved bye in return.

-        Since Kelvin had applied fluoride into my mouth, I wasn’t allowed to eat/drink anything for twenty/thirty minutes. To pass the time, PIG mum and I went to Yuen’s Market and bought grocies. Wow, that heavily maked-up checkout chic’s still there; she’s definitely part of the furniture because even Aunty Winnie remembers her from back when they were still in Brisbane! XD

-        Then PIG mum and I went to have half a lunch @ Coffee Square! Just my luck: neither set meal was suitable for me. >< I ended up ordering a delicious baked rice (of course, PIG mum nabbed away half for arvo tea) and we both shared the HK-style cold milk tea. PIG mum ordered herself the A set meal.

-        Afterwards, PIG mum tootled us to the Algester Star Shopping Centre and we bought groceries from the Algester Asiamart. It’s really cute: they have these tiny lil shopping carts that fit inside their little aisles! Thankfully, PIG mum let Era push it by herself.

-        We also visited the bathroom once there although it didn’t have any disabled toilets.

-        Shopping done, PIG mum tootled me off to see Vincent the bloody physio for my weekly torture session with him. Physio today: Two attempts before sitting, then stood most session. Bent multiple times to retrieve object and return to  Vincent, then bimanual task holding book. Personally, I felt loved coz when we left Kayla gave me two lil Happy Meal-sized toys!

Cheers,

Em. ^^
