Tuesday Post 455

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1841 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Perfect City'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Respond The Right Way' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Rejoicing Love'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, for the first time in five days, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:20am, 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* Actually, I had to let PIG mum gleefully boot me off that early that I'd already fallen asleep and been woken with a full bladder, but since I used the pot :P quickly and was back under the covers before the new day arrived, awesome sleep last night. XD
  • Nature usually calls hourly after that first daylight pot :P trip, but happiness was sleeping soundly with Pijum and Pearl all the way until 7:45am, when dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently along the hallway and unpopped the lock into the garage before waking again to relieve myself.
  • After dearest dad kisses me bye, retucks me back into bed and leaves for his hard day's work, Pearl, Pijum and I all 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.
  • Instead, shortly after 9am, CODA rings and say Hannah can't make it! Luckily, someone called Martha will but she won't arrive till 9:30am.
  • For some reason, after Martha arrived @ 9:30am, PIG mum wouldn't gimme my fifteen more minutes? No biggie: I got kitted, headed over to the bathroom and brushed teeth, used the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era and walked myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • Breakfast was three yummy Weet-Bix with a spot :P of honey all my usual drugs :P and one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly smeared with avocado and perhaps even more lightly sprinkled with salt. PIG mum forgot the mug of water and I very quickly took each pill with a sip of milk from the Weet-Bix bowl before she could remember. 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 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 Martha's passenger seat, she kindly helps me with my seatbelt and then she tootles me off to Breathe for physio.
  • Whoops I forgot to bring him back a souvenir from Sydney! XD Physio today: 2.041 km bike ride,  36 bicep curls per hand,  36 shoulder press per hand,  36 leg curls per leg,  36 step up with incorrect foot and left weight shift,  36 step down with incorrect foot and left weight shift and boxing!
  • The rain started pouring down partway through the session; luckily clever PIG mum had given us the umbrella to take along. Once exiting the building Martha asked me to lean against the building's side while she went to get the car (parked down the end today) and I quickly agreed because I really don't like walking along slippery surfaces!
  • Once back into her car, our other stop was Calamvale Central for my once weekly bahn mi. Since 'twas still bucketing down, I asked Martha to please park underground and get a trolley for us.
  • Alas mean PIG mum didn't leave me enough cash to buy Rebecca a 50th birthday card. :o( Just headed to the other end where I bought my crackling pork salad roll from Uncle Michael. 
  • Back home, I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Martha who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was my delicious crackling pork salad roll plus one mug of beautiful  Taiwanese tea.
  • At 2pm, PIG mum hurriedly signed Martha off and shooed her away; she's actually from somewhere faraway like Congo!
  • After finishing my pork salad roll I used the loo for one tinkle and plopped online.
  • Michelle just rang, saying Rebecca's asking will Toastmasters still happen tonight through the storm? I replied I've not heard about any cancellations.
  • Rebecca's taking me to Toastmasters tonight and she's also coming back and minding me 4-6pm toms!
  • Toms I've got an 11am appointment to see Ray for acupuncture and massage. Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD 
  • Hopefully she'll take me grocery shopping before the treatment/after we've returned home for lunch otherwise expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
  • Fingers crossed that I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 26TH time!
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
