Tuesday Post 470

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2530 steps (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic's from last night's 'When God Goes Against His Will'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Refuse To Live In Fear (4)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The God Who Restores'. Anyways, events for today?

• For the first time in four days, yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:25am and after one pot :P trip I fell back asleep immediately because usually dad leaves for work @ 7:25am?
• Only for some reason, he didn't leave until 8:25am! After he's kissed me bye, retucked me back into bed, pretended to suck Pearl's SEVEN pearls, laughed when pearl body slammed him for the cheek and left for his hard day's work, Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before PIG mum begins her daily noisy 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 Lena's arrival @ 9am.When that happens, 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*

• Once PIG mum lets Lena inside, Lena knocks, pushes open the door and bids me good morning. When I nod Pearl @ her, she laughs and bids Pearl good morning too before asking fifteen more minutes? Pearl nods again and she wisely removes herself - but comes back two minutes too early! When she taps the blankets I'm under, I thrust Pearl @ her and screech, "Two more minutes!" Lena just laughs and does as she's ordered. XD
• The next time Lena comes back, I use the pot :P once more for three tinkles, we get me kitted and I head over to brush teeth while Lena empties the pot :P for me. 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 one bowl of porridge with one slice of toast covered 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!
• After washing and drying Era, I sit outside the bathroom and Lena dabs sunscreen on me before I climb into the passenger seat of her car and Lena tootles me off to Breathe for physio. Thanks to Lena who kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt all day~
• Physio today: 1.284km bike, standing practice with left weight shift, 30 shoulder press with long bar and 36 foot taps on dumbbell for both feet. The most exciting news: Eric got engaged! And how fancy: since his fiancee's parents live in Taiwan, I asked him did he just ring her dad and ask for his permission over the phone and Eric replied no, I organised a FaceTime meeting with him!
• After physio, Lena tootled me off tto Pinelands Plaza and got a trolley for us before we bought groceries from Coles.
• Groceries bought through the self-serve checkout, our other stop before Lena drove me home was the Pinelands Bakehouse for my obnce weekly bahn mi.
• Oh, one final stop before going home! Since today's McCafe's 30th birthday, we stopped @ the Warrigal Maccas drivethru and I got a free mocha! Lena had already gotten her free cappuccino~
• Took a nice hot shower when I got home - hairwash today. Also thanks to Lena who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• I had one tinkle before Lena turned the nice hot water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Lena rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was helping with Erf's sock and  one last tinkle when she was giving Wally back to Ela.
• Back outside, lunch was my yummy BBQ pork salad roll and my delicious mocha. Strange, I thought asking for a BBQ roll gave you a crackling pork one but this one came without crackle? Doesn't matter~
• PIG mum came downstairs (she went swimming this morning before coming home and napping, maybe?) and yapped @ Lena who patiently waited two minutes overtime before asking PIG mum please to sign her off since she needed to get home.
• Before popping online I used the loo once for two tinkles.
• CODA just rang; Rebecca can't take me to Toastmasters tonight but Amy will. Pity, I was looking forward to hearing Rebecca's ice breaker!
• Looking forward to getting some dinner back from Maccas tonight, never mind that UnHappy Meals were what I had surely THREE DECADES ago!! *sigh*
• Toms: don't think Ray's back yet? Hope PIG mum'll help me up and take me for walkies somewhere else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
• Jacinta's coming to take me to para table tennis @ 2:30, then seeing me home and showered before leaving @ 6:30pm.
• Most importantly: tom night's the ORIGIN OPENER; QUEENSLANDER!! 
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
