Tuesday Post 303

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2564 steps (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'When Everyone Deserts You' and thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Be A Restorer (2)'. Anyways, events for today?

• Aww, my awesome sleep streak ended @ 12:15am this morning when my idiot bladder nudged me awake and demanded I use the pot :P @ 12:15am; nature called again @ 6am and after another pot :P trip I spend 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* 
• Usually nature calls hourly after that initial pot :P trip, but happiness was snoring soundly today all the way until dearest dad very considerately walks silently down the hallway and unpops 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 his hard day's work, Uber and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo, before going back outside and awaiting Hannah's arrival @ 9am.
• When Hannah arrives, PIG mum lets her in. Hannah knocks, says good morning fifteen more minutes and obediently leaves when Uber nods @ her. Actually I think I fell back asleep accidentally coz when Hannah came back the first time I thought I still had thirty seconds left; she was a sport and lemme have thirty more seconds. The second time she came back I apologised, saying sorry I think I fell back asleep and Hannah said yeah you must've but I let you have the extra thirty seconds you wanted coz you don't have any physio today. XD
• After I used the pot :P for three more tinkles, we got me kitted and then I headed over to brush teeth while Hannah went and prepared breakfast for me. Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for only one tinkle, coming out when I realise I feel like doing a stinky unspeakable.
• Breakfast was one bowl of sticky bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD), one full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast with strawberry jam. 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, I sit once more over the loo. There, 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 washing and drying Era, I climb into Hannah's tank and she tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace for walkies and grocery shopping. Pity she wouldn't lemme grab a trolley to walk with, but hey.

• That all done, happiness was getting to sit and play with mobiles for a good long while! I'd originally downloaded some Bejeweled game to play but only went through fifty levels before installing it, coz the gems are really small and I'm using up too much concentration playing it. Found another with much bigger gems; played so happily I went through like the first thirty-seven levels before finally losing a life! XD While I played, Hannah went briefly and bought sth from KMart and we didn't see Yeshi today.

• Back home, I turned the alarm off and took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Hannah who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. I sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song softly, slowly but most hatefully out aloud. Actually, I was already all done after 7% but happily leaned fully against the side rail before calling Hannah back. 

• I had one tinkle before I flipped the nice warm water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Hannah rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was helping with Erf's sock and one last one when I was drying inside both ears with two tissues (one each) and Hannah was drying my glasses after washing them for me.

• Back outside, she reheated some rice leftovers for me, made me one mug of yummy vanilla chai with milk and cleaned the bathroom before I signed her off with my thanks and byes. She's back again @ 5:30pm and taking me to Toastmasters!

• Only less than five minutes after she left, the doorbell rang! I walked myself to the front door and, not even bothering to ask who's there, called through the glass pane, "Whaddya forget, Hannah?" She sheepishly calls back, "My mobile, sorry!" I open the door for her; she grabs her mobile and kindly walks behind me back to the gobbling :P table before leaving again.

• PIG mum arrived home soon afterwards and headed upstairs to make a phone call for dad.

• Once I've used up my most important two hours of the day, I'll head over to the gobbling :P table, ask PIG mum to gimme my sushi roll for arvo tea and perhaps read for awhile.

• Hannah's coming back @ 5:30pm and taking me to Toastmasters! But since Lino can't make it tonight, there'll prolly only be like four attending! XD

• Toms: the second last day of my official birthday month! Vicki's minding me 9-1; wonder where PIG mum'll send us?

• Seeing Ray in the arvo for some acupuncture and massage; bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD

• Should have online choir rehearsal from 5:30pm till like 6:45pm.

• Prolly won't bbl after Toastmasters tonight so wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
