Tuesday Post 441

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1671 steps (ha, I'm over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's .'No Detour from Calvary'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Never Forget Those Who Helped You' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Great Expectations. Anyways, events for today?

•  Woo hoo, 12TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:05am, and 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*

•  Usually nature calls hourly after that initial morning pot :P trip, but happiness today's snoring all the way until 7:45am, when dearest dad silently and very thoughtfully walked along the hallway and unpopped the lock into the garage before waking again for the pot. :P

• After dearest dad kisses me bye, retucks me back into bed, pretends to suck Pearl's six pearls, laughs when outraged Pearl bodyslams him for it and leaves for his hard day's work, Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P about one hour later, 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.

• OInce Hannah rings the bell, PIG mum lets her in. Hannah knocks, pushes the door open, says good morning and fifteen more minutes ... Pearl nods @ her and she wisely removes herself, even though Pearl's anatomically incorrect for giving the Bear Bum. XD

• When she comes back, I use the pot :P once more for three tinkles while we share with each other what we've been up to the past week, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.

• Breakfast is three yummy Weet-Bix drizzled with a lil honey, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. I also munched one small slice of some fluffy sponge cake some church aunty made for us! 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, again 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 Tank, buckle my seatbelt and Hannah tootles me off to Breathe for physio. Since my appointment isn't till 11am, I get like thirty minutes to play on my mobile before we haveta head inside - and I pass two more levels of Jewel Hereos! XD

• Physio today: 2.515km bike ride, bicep curls (36 per hand, Era with 3kg dumbbell and Ela with 2kg dumbbell), shoulder press (36 per hand), leg pulls (36 per leg), 36 sit-to-stands and boxing! Turns out 'twas naughty Connor who'd chewed holes into the boxing gloves! Era's knuckles weren't as red as last week's after I'd vented out all my frustrations pummelling those boxing pads. XD Best of all, Breathe gave me a MINION advent calendar; <3 the Minions! :D

• Our other stop before heading home was to Calamvale Central: first to buy nashi pears from the Mega Discount Fruit Market and then to get my weekly pork salad roll from the Vietnamese bakery. I  give my order to the girl behind the counter; when the owner uncle appears from the side and sees me, he immediately raises his hand and goes hey! I wave back, hi, uncle! When he wanders over we exchange pleasantries and I point to the freshly baked buns just standing on the counter, mime grabbing one and eating it; he laughs and mimcs my action but uses BOTH hands! XD

• Back home, I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Hannah who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. While showering, I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sing 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud. Actually, I'm all done after only 5%, but happily lean fully against the right side rail and water myself for another tinkle before calling Hannah back.

• I have one tinkle before I flip the nice warm water off, get dried, get creamed and have another tinkle. When Hannah rekits me, I have one more tinkle when she's helping with Elf's AFO straps and one last when she's giving Wally back to Ela.

• Back outside, lunch is the delicious crackling pork salad roll plus one mug of yummy Chinese tea. At 2pm precisely, I sign Hannah off with my thanks and byes; she's back again 6-9pm this Saturday coz the parents are gonna attend some Christmas party with their badminton mates! 

• Woo hoo! Tonight Kim's taking me out to see the massive Christmas tree AGAIN! PIG mum's bitched that I'm not allowed to buy anything this time (but I'm cool with window shopping) while dad said I'm only allowed another pissy little Happy Meal but I've asked PIG mum for permission to get a bowl of chicken katsudon from Hanaichi instead since I need rice for dinner! Will start Christmas shopping for dearest dad, too~

• Toms:  seeing Ray for some massage and acupuncture toms morning; bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD

• Hopefully she'll take me grocery shopping and aisle walking afterwards else I don't see how I'll crack 1000 steps toms.

• Just rang CODA; apparently Hannah's coming back to mind me from 4-6? Will text her tonight to ask.

• Fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 196TH time!

• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
