Tuesday Post 456

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3201 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Amazed @ The Resurrection'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Let God Lead You' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Protect Your Heart'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Aww, you'd think plodding 4000+ steps yesterday would entitle me to an awesome night's sleep, wouldn't you? Blame my naughty bladder, who poked me awake @ 12:05am and demanded I use the pot :P once for her. >< XD
  • Nature called again around 6:20am, after that second 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 first daylight pot :P trip but happiness was snoring soundly until dearest dad very thoughtfully walks silently along the hallway and unpops the lock into the garage door before waking again to use the pot. :P
  • After dearest dad kisses me bye, pretends to suck Pearl's SEVEN pearls, laughs when Pearl bodyslams him for the cheek, 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 about one hour later 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 give poor Elf a very brief rub since she didn't last night.
  • When Hannah arrives @ 9am, PIG mum lets her in. Hannah knocks, pushes open the door, says good morning, fifteen more minutes and wisely retreats when I flap one of Pijum's ears @ her. When she comes back, I use the pot :P for two more tinkles (usually I stay for three but got off after two since I already felt like doing a stinky unspeakable), we get me kitted and I head over to brush teeth. After sitting briefly over the loo, I 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 was three yummy Weet-Bix with a thin streak of honey over each, 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 back 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!While I was over the loo Mr. Jig-Air from the NAB rang; PIG mum answered and apparently I'm booked down for the first block on Friday from 2-4pm. Doesn't start till March, though.

  • After washing and drying Era I climb into Tank and Hannah tootles me off to Breathe for physio with Eric. Arriving early, we both happily poke away @ our smartphones until it's time to head in; yay that Hannah found the fourth park free after the first three reserved ones and didn't haveta park in the disabled bay right @ the very end.
  • Physio today:1.841km bike ride, 36 bicep curls per hand, 36 shoulder press per hand, 36 rows per leg, 36 more for Elf going left and 36 sit-to-stands with left weight shift. I remembered to return those leg strap things immediately; luckily Eric says they weren't missed. XD
  • Physio over, Hannah tootles us off to Calamvale Central, parking underground since there's a 70% chance of rain.
  • After grabbing a trolley @ Woolies we both buy groceries before I order our bahn mis @ the bakery. I ask the girl who took my order where's Uncle Michael? Shes goes and takes a look, comes back and mimes sleeping! We both have a giggle. XD
  • Back home, I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Hannah who helps me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • I have one tinkle before I tap 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 Erf's sock and one last when she's giving Wally back to Ela.
  • All set, I walk myself slowly and safely back out to the gobbling :P table, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • Lunch is my delicious crackling pork salad roll plus one big mug of delicious Taiwanese tea. Hannah eats hers too but with chilli, while PIG mum sits on the couch and watches YouTube while having her lunch - didn't see what she ate.
  • At 2pm, I sign Hannah off with my thanks and byes. She's back same time next week.
  • After I've finished lunch, I use the loo for one tinkle and then plop online.
  • Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day, I'll head over to the gobbling :P table and read for one hour. Hopefully PIG mum'll feed me some arvo tea.
    Toms: seeing Ray for some massage and acupuncture; bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him. XD
  • Hopefully PIG mum'll remember to take me grocery shopping and aisle walking, else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
  • Excitement: someone's taking me to try play para table tennis! Can't believe PIG mum agreed, considering how much she DETESTS my use of Sparkless3. 
  • The carer will see me home and showered before leaving @ 6:30pm. I'll be wolfing dinner coz I've got gospel groups @ Dr. Lee's @ 7:30pm! Everyone's invited to bring dinner and eat together @ 7pm before Bible study starts @ 7:30pm, but you know how the parents are with demanding how I always just eat home food ... hence why PIG mum was mean and didn't lemme buy a roll of sushi for arvo tea... *sigh*
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
