Friday Post 437

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2936 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's "Prayer's First Priority"; thirdly, TWFT topic's "George Muller's Thoughts On Meditation'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Choosing Compassion'; fifthly, the final, final spam count for the weekend's actually five and sixthly, the spam count for the week's seventeen. Anyways, events for today?

• Nature called once around 2:45am last night; I used the pot :P again around 6:20am 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*

•  Usually nature calls hourly after that first morning pot :P trip, but happiness was sleeping soundly until dearest dad very thoughtfully and silently walked along the hallway and unpopped the lock into the garage before waking again for another pot :P trip.

• After dearest dad kiss - actually, no! I sleep soundly until like 8:45am, when I'm reawoken by PIG mum's noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs! Doesn't dad work Fridays anymore?

• PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before letting Peggy inside @ 9am. Peggy knocks, opens the door and says fifteen more minutes? Pearl's rather miffed that she didn't say good morning first, but I just nod him @ Peggy and she wisely removes herself. XD

• When she comes back, I use the pot :P for three more tinkles and we get me kitted before I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who squirts some toothpaste for me~Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for only one tinkle, coming out to the gobbling :P table when I realise I feel like doing a stinky unspeakable.

• Luckily the ants only attacked the custard bun yesterday; my sausage bun was safe! I munched that for breakfast, along with three yummy Weet-Bix, 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 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 Peggy's passenger seat, she kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt and then tootles me off to the NAB for physio. Letizia meets me just before the entrance to the NAB.

• Physio today: Twelve times descending and ascending stars (ten steps) left weight-shifting, forward weight-shifting, seven rounds clock yourself with colour and thirty sit-to-stands with left weight-shifting.

• After another pot :P trip, Peggy tootled me home and made me a buttered toasted tuna in tomato and onion sandwich with TWO slices of cheese, cut into two rectangles and one mug of tea, white and two. Actually, I mean I showered first - hairwash today. Thanks to Peggy who also helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

• Dried, creamed and rekitted I head out to the gobbling :P table and the previous point happened. XD

• PIG mum returns home in time to sign Peggy off. I say my thanks and byes; she's back again same time next week.

• After Peggy leaves Tiff arrives and I make a pasta bake with her! Will put photos onto Facebook later~ I'd just finished standing @ the stove scooping everything out into a baking tray. When I sit back down, dad arrives and immediately shooes Tiff away? Hence why I pop online.

• Hoping I can watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 170TH time!

• Toms: Nisha's minding me from 10am till 2pm. Presuming dad will send us to Calamvale Central for walkies. Will shower when I get home since I don't get 4-6pm support anymore.

• Looking forward to my three big mugs of white tea and fingers crossed for the chance to read for two/three hours!

• Presuming dad'll take me to church to play ping pong with him toms arvo?

• Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
