Thursday Post 268b

Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for Thursday! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2372. Righteo, potential final, final events for Thursday?

• The teddies and I cuddle and snore for another hour, me waking to use the pot :P once more when dearest dad thoughtfully walks silently down the hallway and unpops the lock opening into the garage.
• Today Kim announces her arrival about three minutes early. She stands @ the door and calls "Good morning Em; fifteen more minutes" but comes back too early! When she pats the covers signifying 'get up', I mutter @ her "Half a minute more" but she's like "huh?" Daddy Bear enters the conversation, simplifying it for Kim, "Thirty more seconds!" Luckily for Kim, she doesn't argue and goes instead to empty the pot :P, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
• When Kim comes back, we get me kitted, then I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Ela enjoys her first break this morning~
• 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*
• Now @ 5;15pm, I've finished one more game of Bejeweled lasting 6:57. That's today's quotas satisfied, and I now promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD Actually, I further promise not to play again until toms, coz I've actually also played two more memorable games, one lasting 7:49 and the other 7:56!
• After washing and drying Era, I walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, 
  rising above His near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Thanks to Kim who got a spoon for me and turned Sunrise on for my viewing pleasure~ Over breakfast (two plain - no honey - Weetbix), 
  I spent another 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! As for Kim, after she'd made my bed for me, she sat and very gently and very sporadically massaged Ela for about fifteen minutes.
• Come 9am, we set out! At the Garbo library, I used the loo once then entered the room. Only Ken had arrived; he was in the process of setting up the meeting tables. Once they were all in position, I simply skooted over to my preferred spot. XD Phew then Ken didn't mind; in fact, he commended me on my chair driving skills! XD
• Another big meeting today, like, seventeen people! My story provoked lotsa laughs but mostly I'm super-relieved! See, Denise attended today, even though she left early. She showed me her shirt, which was a hydrotherapist physio blouse! I wailed about pee-filled pools and she was like, "Don't you know? Little kids now wear waterproof nappies to catch any pee they might pass." phew; that means now I only haveta fret about chlorine!
• Crystal helped me once to the loo @ breaktime; the disabled bathroom was occupied but luckily the ambulant one was free; I used that instead. Just pity there weren't any bikkies today! Still, a cuppa, white and two, was nice~
• After GCCW; Kim tootled me off to lunch with Pastors Chris and Grace. The Canto-speaking waitress recognised me; once I sat down she immediately bought me over a bowl of creamy corn soup!
• Once Pastors Chris and Grace arrived, we ordered. The waitress who took our orders also remembers me; once I ordered I started my clumsy Chinese saying "I don't want …" She interrupts me, saying, "I know! No cashews, right?!"
• While waiting for our mals to arrive, I asked Pastor Chris to please clarify what he meant about my brain injury being collateral damage. I think he explained that my brain injury wasn't the direct result of anything I did/didn't do that deserved what befell me, but rather because we humans have chosen to turn away from God, people will suffer. Hopefully he means God didn't specifically choose me to smite down.
• Today the Lungs left exactly @ 2:30pm. Ppresumably Kim was just sitting outside waiting for me; once they'd left she came inside and paid for me.
• Back home, I turned off the alarm and did a stinky unspeakable before taking a nice, very warm shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was done after 13%, but sang for another tinkle before ending the shower. XD
• After I flipped the nice very warm water off, I mostly dried myself (thanks to Kim who kindly helped me dry my back, both legs and Era), mostly creamed myself (again, thanks to Kim who kindly helped me cream my back, both calves and Era) then mostly rekitted myself (thanks to Kim who kindly helped with Erf's sock, Elf's AFO and both laces). Then I used the loo for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, washed and dried Era then walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above His near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• I tootled online for awhile. Kim cleaned the bathroom, then sat and very gently and very sporadically massaged Ela for awhile before leaving precisely @ 3:30pm.
• When PIG mum returned home from work, I did the pear eating part of my HEP and the walking part with her then smuggled my mobile into the loo and played Candy Crush until the battery ran flat. XD
• PIG mum left for the Glen Hotel to hear some talk. Dad returned home; I immediately asked could he please microwave me dinner coz the Broncos match starts 2 6:50om but he says he's doing stuff in the garage and don't come till 6:20pm. *sigh*
• Guess I'm doing the fifty sit-to-stands with PIG mum after she comes home.
• Toms: perhaps expect a pissy plodding total from me? Fingers crossed I can watch Seven's morning news, and bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap her head off @ Ray when I see him for some massage and acupuncture mid-arvo. XD
• kim's coming to mind me from 4pm till 6pm, coz she's not coming Saturday.
• Anyways, hopefully bbl after the match tonight, otherwise wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!
  
  Cheers,
  
  Em. ^^
