Monday Post 270c

Good afternoon and potentially one final greeting for Monday! Hopefully I’ll have a plodding total to report after hydro; anyways, events for today?

Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn’t call until 6:20am, and after one pot :p trip, I spent the ten minutes till 6:30am 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*

• Usually nature calls every hour following that first wakeup call, but today the teddies and I had an incredible snore and I didn’t wake again for the pot :P until dearest dad walked silently down the hallway and unpopped the lock leading into the garage!
• After dearest dad had retucked the teddies and I back before leaving for his hard day’s work, the teddies and I cuddle and snore, me waking again once more for the pot :P when PIG mum’s infernal alarm sounds it’s first ‘doot’.
• Shortly afterwards, PIG mum’s let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with a bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with once after giving myself fifteen more minutes and using the pot :p once more first.
• Sweet, PIG mum’s still allowing me to use Sparkless2! I’ve not enjoyed brushing teeth, resting against the chair back for more than ten years! :D

After washing and drying Era, I wheel myself out to the gobbling :P table. Breakfast is two plain (no honey) Weet-Bix, one full mug of water and all my usual drugs :P over breakfast, I I also spend 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*

Breakfast finished, I wheel myself to the loo, awkwardly transfer myself over the bowl and do a stinky unspeakable, also fully leaning 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!

• That done, I wheel myself back to the gobbling :P table and read Kylie Chan’s novel while awaiting Alyssa’s arrival.
• When she comes, she gives Ela a session of OT. Thankfully, PIG mum must’ve already told her about Elf, coz she didn’t demand I stand for her today. She won’t be back for awhile now, coz she’s off to Japan for a holiday! I asked her did she know how to say “where’s the toilet” and she replied, ‘what’s the toilet?” Also, her surname’s Wong; I had to tell her that sumting wong joke right away! XD
• When she left, I awkwardly used the loo once more than plopped briefly online before watching Nine’s morning news.
• Dearest dad came home for lunch and immediately starting Facetiming 4^th aunty.
• When PIG mum summoned me over for lunch, I wheeled myself over to the gobbling :P table. Lunch was one can of Campbell’s Cream of chicken soup with like one chunk of PIG mum’s banana bread dunked into it and one mug of Chinese tea. Thanks also to dad who shouted  me one thin sliver of pizza; dunno where he got that from?

• After lunch, I wheeled myself back online. Nature called around 2:30; thanks to PIG mum who put my AFO back on for me. Not sure why she refused to do that until after I’d awkwardly transferred onto the toilet bowl, but hey. You
• know it’s always whatever suits her. *sigh*
• doom awaits: going to hydro in like one hour. I’m not convinced: should I not see significant improvement quickly, may I cease going?
• Carol’s coming with! She’s staying till 6pm; will hopefully get the time to read for one blessed hour before she leaves.
• Toms: late morning UQ physio with Kimbly. Have already told Sonia that PIG mum hasn’t cleared me for hallway/treadmill walking, but she hasn’t got that message yet.
• Don’t think Aunty Ann’s back from Hong Kong yet so obviously can’t see her for a massage, but still hoping PIG mum takes me for half a lunch somewhere! Yes, half a lunch sucks, but I need my HK style milk tea! XD
• Hopefully PIG mum hasn’t booked me in for anything toms and I can enjoy my most important two hours of the day in peace.
• Carol’s taking me to Toastmasters toms night! Fingers crossed PIG mum’ll lemme buy some dinner home from Maccas; never mind that Happy Meals were what I had surely MORE THAN TWO DECADES AGO!! *sigh*
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else hope everyone has a smashing day toms!

Cheers,

Em. ^^
