Friday Post 359

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2166 steps (ha, I'm over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'God Cares For You'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "How's Your Giving?"; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Comfort On Doorframes' and fifthly, the spam count for the week's sixteen. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:10am, when the noisy garbage truck THUNDERED down the road to begin tipping bins; 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* 
  • Nature called next around 7:45am; when dad didn't unpop the lock leading into the garage I figured he wasn't working today again.
  • PIG mum's noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs around 8:50am awakens me for a third pot :P trip; shortly after she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Peggy's arrival @ 9am.
  • Once PIG mum has let Peggy inside, Peggy knocks, opens the door, says good morning and fifteen more minutes? Pijum flaps his ear @ her and she leaves; I actually fall back asleep again but wake when Peggy pulls shut the bathroom door.
  • After I use the pot :P for three more tinkles, we get me kitted and I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who squirts me some toothpaste. Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table.
  • Breakfast is three yummy Weet-Bix with a wee strip of honey along each, one slice of toast lightly spread with avocado and even more 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 sit over the loo once more. 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 and she tootles me off to the NAB for physio. Thanks to her who helped me with my seatbelt both ways.
  • All the parking was taken @ the Therapies building but luckily Peggy found one @ the back. I used the loo for one tinkle before entering the NAB.
  • Physio today: Lay down for Denny and Dakota to check Elf again, fifty single leg push-ups on tower of power, eight laps short hallway walking, twenty laps ascending and descending NAB small stair (foursteps), eight laps short hallway walking and twelve laps ascending and descending floor stairs (eight steps). Elf's hypersensitive and found the Tower Of Power painful; afterwards, Peggy said that I was all sweaty!
  • After Peggy tootled me home I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who kindly helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted she made me a delicious tuna in tomato and onion toastie with TWO slices of cheese with one side buttered and one big mug of white tea and two sugars!
  • At 1:55pm I went to the loo intending to sit for two more tinkles but came out after one coz PIG mum for some reason signed Peggy off one minute early. She's back again same time next week.
  • Looking forward to start reading the book club novel for one hour this arvo!
  • Have asked PIG mum to please feed me dinner @ 6pm because kickoff for the local derby between the Broncos and the Cowboys starts @ 7pm!
  • Toms: Nisha's minding me from 10am till 2pm. Dad will presumably send us to Calamvale Central to buy one box of cheap facial tissues and one sushi roll for arvo tea.
  • Must remember to ask dad tonight is there any ping pong @ church toms.
  • Righteo, maybe bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
