Good afternoon! Firstly, my final, final plodding total from last night's actually 3450 (aww, nearly 3.5 grand XD); secondly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's 'The Exchange'; thirdly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2378 steps; fourthly, John Piper's devotional topic's 'How Much God Wants To Bless You' and fifthly, TWFT topic's 'Unconditional Joy' but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after Kim minds me for two hours!! Anyways, let's start off with last night's events first!
- Once I'd used up the two most important hours of my day, I headed over to the gobbling :P table and munched the arvo tea PIG mum had left me before she rushed out to go play badminton with Ping Yee.
- The new carer's Kiwi and like forty-one! She drives a large car too; thankfully smaller than Hannah's tank and I was able to haul myself into her car without help.
- The Toastmasters election wasn't actually an election coz there were only like seven people present and one was like still a schoolboy! Neil just read each role out and asked someone would they take that role on. Apparently I'm secretary!
- Afterwards I munched my pissy little Happy Meal for dinner. Lei got herself chips too! I think we get along well; she thinks I'm funny and I learnt that she's actually a disability employment consultant and have asked her please to help me find paid, seated work!
- Back home, repeat the usual nightly events, zzz~
- Today: yay, first awesome sleep for three days and my best so far for 2022! I was @ that stage where I was awake but not awakje enough to know that I'm awake? Didn't come to full consciousness until dearest dad came to kiss me goodbye before leaving for his hard day's work @ 8:10am!
- After dearest dad kissed me bye, retucked me back into bed and left for his hard day's work, I happily cuddle Uber and snore for about another hour, 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 and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing except the bra strap and the tee before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
- PIG mum comes back to help with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces; after that, I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth (poor Ela). Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for only one tinkle, coming out when PIG mum orders I eat breakfast first.
- Breakfast is one bowl of mushed-up bird food (what Dr. Ku calls bird food XD), one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread very lightly with avocado and perhaps sprinkled even more lightly with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. 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 NO
- After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's 4WD and she tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Of course, she gleefully forces me to buckle my own seatbelt all day, we listen to 97.3FM all day and today, Era helps Ela stretch for thirty-five minutes before Ela opens and closes her palm 250 times, holding each for a count of five.
- Ray greets us when we enter and immediately asks after Elf; I'd messaged him after breakfast this morning and explained the situation to him, telling him he'd prolly better not stick needles into my left leg.
- After using the loo for one tinkle, I lay down and got some treatment for Ray. Like usual, I lay back down but kept both knees bent coz I can't straighten Elf without pain. Ray gave Elf and Ela massage but only Ela acupuncture. PIG mum was in her element, yapping unceasingly @ Ray; my grateful thanks to him who always replied and kept a conversation flowing.
- After using the loo for one more tinkle PIG mum tootled me off to Calamvale Central to get my weekly pork salad roll. We'd decided if there was parking out front I'd walk inside and buy the pork roll myself but if there wasn't any parking available, PIG mum would park downstairs and get the pork roll herself. Unfortunately, all the disabled parks outside were taken; PIG mum parked outside, left me inside the car and got the pork salad roll for me.
- Our last stop before returning home was Top Health Doctors to get my report. After the doctor called me in and we'd sat down, the first thing she said was, "Well, you've really done a number on your ankle, haven't you?" I'm thinking oh sh*t what have I done to the ankle?? But with her next breath my fears are allayed when she goes don't worry; nothing's broken and you've just got a really bad sprain. Then she reeled off this really long name and I'm like, um, are you naming a dinosaur? Think I got the first six syllables but the rest just went over my head completely. The doctor roared with laughter, grabbed a highlighter and marked about three lines in the one-page report for me. Her diagnosis: just stay off the foot when possible, eat Nurofen and ice it.
- Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle and then popped online.
Cheers,
Em. ^^
