Friday Post 473

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2835 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Powerful Root Of Practical Life'; thirdly, TWFT topic's Getting Real; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Parting Words'; fifthly, the actual spam count for the weekend's actually just nine and sixthly, the spam count for the weekend's eleven. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like the past two days, nature called @ 6:40am 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*
• When dad doesn't come kiss me bye before leaving for work @ 7:45am, I use the pot :P once again, remember he's only working Monday till Thursday now and return to happy snorings with Pearl.
• The next time I use the pot :P, it's 8:55am and I've been woken by noisy PIG mum's 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 Peggy's arrival @ 9am.
• After Peggy arrives, she knocks the door, pushes open the door and calls out melodically, "Good morning ..." When I nod Pearl @ her, Peggy laughs and asks us fifteen more minutes? Another nod from Pearl and she wisely removes herself, even though Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum. XD
• When Peggy comes back, I use the pot :P once more for @ least three tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who's squirted some toothpaste for me.
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Peggy.
• Breakfast is one bowl of plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with avocado and equally 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 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 Peggy's passenger seat. Thanks muchly to her who kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt all day, before she tootles me off to UQ for physio.
• At the therapies building I hike the length of the floor and use the other disabled toilet located @ the end since the first one's already occupied.
• Physio today: Eighty sit-to-stands with left and forward weightshift,  bending to floor ten times to place items into basket,  stepping for Erf and several laps walking around the clinic.
• After sitting over the loo for two more tinkles, Peggy tootles me home  and I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helps me rinse outt my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• I had one tinkle before Peggy flipped thee nice hot water off, goot dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Peggy rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was helping with Erf's sock and one last when I was drying inside the ears with a tissue.
• Back outside, Peggy makes me a yummy tuna in tomato and onion with TWO slices of cheese and HEAVILY buttered on one side plus one big mug of Chinese tea.
• At 1:55pm I sit over the loo for two more tinkles and then sign her off with my thanks and byes. She's back same time next Friday.
• After I've used up the most important two hours of my day, I'll use the loo for one tinkle and then head down to the gobbling :P table to read for one hour. Hopefully PIG mum'll feed me some arvo tea~
• Fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 99TH time!
• Toms: Nisha's minding me from 10-2. Looking forward to my once-weekly sleep-in, my three big mugs of white tea with two sugars and the chance to read for three blessed hours!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
