Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2671 steps (ha, I'm over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Serve God With Your Thirst'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Godly Art Of Letting Go'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Planted In God'; fifthly, the final, final spam count for the weekend's actually thirty and fifthly, the spam count for the week's nineteen. Anyways, events for today?
- Sometimes I can't help but wonder if there's any point praying to the cruel and unfaithful God. Last night, while praying before bed, I asked Him please don't send the noisy garbage truck THUNDERING down the road until AFTER the Sun has risen sufficiently for me to see the time my clock says on the wall, and what does God do? Maliciously and deliberately send that garbage truck THUNDERING down the road BEFORE the Sun has risen! Well, two can play @ that game: since He's gonna ignore me, I'm gonna ignore Him right back. Yup, I fell back asleep without having an accident and didn't wake until 6:40am. I'm not trying to win God; it's impossible to win God! I'm just saying I'm not going to let him win! Case in point, the last three Fridays.
- After one 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*
- About one hour later, I wake once more for the pot :P when dearest dad very thoughtfully and silently walks along the hallway and unpops the lock into the garage.
- After dearest dad has kissed me bye, retucked me back into bed and left for his hard day's work, Uber and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before 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.
- After Hannah arrived, she knocked, entered, said good morning and fifteen more minutes? When she comes back I use the pot :P for three more tinkles, we get me kitted and I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth while Hannah's emptying the commode for me. Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for only one tinkle, coming out when PIG mum demands I eat breakfast for her first.
- Breakfast is three yummy Weet-Bix with one thin stream of honey each, one slice of toast spread thinly with avocado and sprinkled lightly with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water, because I only remember now while I'm typing this that I forgot my custard bun!! >< XD 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 washing and drying Era, I clamber into Hannah's tank and she tootles me off to the NAB for physio.
My new student's called Bianca and she doesn't turn twenty-one until August/October! Physio today was a session for Ela: cone work, reaching, supination and pronation and playing that piano iPad game. Denis examined Elf and says he may write PIG mum an e-mail asking can I move my appointment to see Dr. O'Sullivan for more clonus earlier because I had one more bounce of clonus this morning.
After using the loo for two/three more tinkles, Hannah tootled me home, I turned off the alarm and took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Hannah who helped me rinse out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
I had one tinkle before Hannah flipped the nice hot water off, got dried, had another tinkle and got creamed. When Hannah rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was doing Elf's AFO straps and one last one when she was giving Wally back to Ela.
Back outside, lunch was one tuna with tomato and onion toastie with one slice of cheese cut into four triangles and one mug of yummy peppermint tea.
At 2pm, I signed Hannah off with my thanks and byes. She's back again next Tuesday.
Tiff and David arrived to give Ela one hour of impractical hand exercises. Next week, we're cooking not another chicken stir-fry but PORK stir-fry!
Used loo once and then munched one yummy banana, two/three yummy chocolate Hello Panda bikkies and drank one mug of some infusion for arvo tea.
Used loo once more before returning online and used it once more just then.
Looking forward to watching the 6pm bulletin (Seven's) for the 78TH time!
Once that ends I'll use the loo once, quickly wolf dinner down and be seated on the couch for 7:30pm to watch the Broncos play the Panthers!
Toms: Nisha's minding me from 10am till 2pm. Usually we'd go for walkies and sushi buying @ Calamvale Central but PIG mum says maybe I shouldn't because of Elf's ankle? If that's the case, expect a super-pissy plodding total from me, even though I think dad will take me to play ping pong with him toms arvo.
Doubt I'll bbl toms night so wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
