Tuesday Post 319

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3385 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's "God's Grace In Spiritual Gifts'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Getting Older, And Better' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'A Humble Snack' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and ONE MINUTE online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 107TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Woo hoo, 8th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 6:40am and after one pot :P trip I fell back asleep immediately because I knew dearest dad would leave for his hard day's work in like the next hour!
  • Sure enough, when dearest dad very thoughtfully walks along the hallway and unpops the lock into the garage around 7:45am, I wake for another pot :P trip, before 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* 
  • 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 for about another hour, me waking for one more pot :P trip when the home phone suddenly rings @ 8:45am. Shortly afterwards, PIG  mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and say that CODA just rang; Hannah will be late coz she's stuck in traffic, but she is coming.
  • When Hannah arrived, she gave me fifteen more minutes, I used the pot :P for a few more tinkles, we got me kitted, I headed river to the bathroom and brushed teeth (yay, another morning's break for Ela from having to hold the toothbrush and sat over the loo for five minutes before coming out to the gobbling :P table when I realised I felt like doing a stinky unspeakable.
  • Breakfast was one yummy bowl of Minus :P with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly smeared with avocado and lightly sprinkled 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 walk myself slowly and safely to the loo,  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 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 me off to Calamvale Central. When I was over the loo, PIG mum had opened the door and harangued me about walking despite my sore ankle; Hannah and I discussed this while she was driving and decided I'd walk to Woolies after getting my hair cut before sitting back down to buy groceries.
  • My hairdresser was a Chinese speaking girl; I actually mimed cut fringe and shave the back because I've zero idea how to say that in Chinese! XD She laughed and replied, "I know, I cut your hair before." XD Also, there's been a price rise; it's now fifteen bucks.
  • Hair cut, I pushed Sparkless3 and started walking to Woolies. Around Surabing+ Hannah suddenly told me to sit. I'm like, um, why? Mother demanded I walk to Woolies before sitting to buy groceries with you but Hannah replies, no, your right shoelace has come undone. Sit down and I'll tie it back up for you. That done I thought she was gonna have me back upright and walking the rest of the way to Woolies but she said nah don't bother you're almost there anyway. Sweet!
  • Groceries from Woolies bought, our next stop's the Calamvale Mega Discount Fruit Market where Hannah selects three nashis for me.
  • Our last stop before going home's the Vietnamese bakery for my crunchy pork salad roll. The aunty takes my order; when I ask her where's uncle she just gestures vaguely @ the entrance and replies, "Out." I'm guessing he's not present but while I'm waiting, the aunty suddenly goes hey! Being used to getting addressed like that, I automatically look in her direction. "Uncle here now." She tells me, and I say thanks before waving and going hey, uncle! He's only short and I can't see too much of him, but when I call him uncle and wave he waves back and gets up on his tiptoes so he can see me too. XD
  • Groceries bought, Hannah tootles me home and I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Hannah who helped me rinse out my hair, 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, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Hannah rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was helping with Elf's sock and one last when she was giving Wally back to Ela.
  • Back outside, lunch was my delicious pork salad roll and one warm mug of some infusion.
  • Lunch over, I turned on the light, booted up the computer and asked Hannah please to massage Ela for ten minutes before I used the loo once more @ 1:55pm on PIG mum's orders.
  • After washing and drying Era, PIG mum tootled me off to Breathe to see Andrew for physio. Obviously she gleefully forced me to buckle my own seatbelt both ways, we listened to 97.3FM both ways and today, Era helped Ela stretch for twenty-five minutes before Ela opened and closed her palm 100 times, holding each for a count of five.
  • Physio today: lat rowa and lat pull downs for Ela, lay down and Andrew assessed Elf and two wall push-ups.
  • Back home, I ate one normal-sized banana, one little sweet sugar banana, drank one warm mug of something and munched two little milk chocolate Hello Panda bikkies for arvo tea. Since PIG mum was watching YouTube, I happily played mobile games and randomly passed like TEN levels on Jewel Quest! XD
  • One loo trip for me before I happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 107TH time.
  • Toms: PIG mum says she may take me to get a blood test, if she can get outta bed. XD Will haveta fast but - bbl!

    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
