Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1566 steps (ha, I'm just over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Death Trap Called Covetousness; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Integrity (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Easy Money'. Anyways, events for today?
- Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:45am 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*Then I wondered how come dad hadn't come to kiss me bye before leaving for work yet; since PIG mum's home his holiday was over, wasn't it?
- Actually dad didn't come to kiss me bye, pretend to suck Pearl's SEVEN pearls, laugh when Pearl body slammed him for the cheek, retucked me back into bed and leave for his hard day's work until 8am. After he'd gone, Pearl, Pijum and I happily cuddled and snored, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's come to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Rebecca's arrival @ 9am.
- Once PIG mum lets Rebecca inside, she knocks, pushes open the door and says good morning? When I nod Pearl in greeting to her, Rebecca laughs and adds fifteen more minutes? Another nod and she thankfully leaves; phew, since Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum. XD
- When Rebecca caqme back, I used the pot :P once more for three tinkles, we got me kitted and then I headed over to the bathroom to brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and head out to the gobbling :P table.
- *sigh* Last night, I immediately got far less help with the shower and this morning, I immediately got far less breakfast: no slice of toast spread with avocado and sprinkled with salt and no mug of Milo. Just some plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) bread ripped into the bowl, 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 Rebecca's big car, she kindly helps me with my seatbelt both ways and then tootles me off to Unique Physio to see Aunty Anna for some massage and acupuncture. We arrive so early (dad's orders) that I have like twenty minutes to play Jewel Quest while Rebecca goes inside first and finds the bathroom.
- Today Aunty Anna not only gave me acupuncture and massage but cupping; thanks to Rebecca who took a photo for me since PIG mum NEVER would!
- Back home, I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Rebecca who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
- I had one tinkle before Rebecca flipped the nice hot water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When she rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was helping with Erf's sock and one last when she was giving Wally back to Ela.
- Back outside, Rebecca made a yummy tuna toastie with one slice of cheese and one mug of delicious Chinese tea that PIG mum said was from Iris jie jie! I immediately thanked her through Messenger about it but she replied uh I didn't give you any tea ... I asked PIG mum again and she goes oops maybe it was cousin Karry?? Just in case it's not, I haven't thanked her yet. XD
- Once Rebecca finished her pasta lunch she very gently (so gently that Ela didn't feel anything) massaged Ela while I kept munching the toastie.
- At 1:55pm I used the loo once more for two tinkles and signed Rebecca off with my thanks and byes. She's back toms night and taking me to Toastmasters!
- Me, I'm just excited that Yu Lam's taking me somewhere for arvo tea @ 4:30pm; she's found a place that apparently sells HK-style milk tea with PEARL!! If she's fair dinkum, tthat'll prolly be the 2nd story for my XMas Greetings this year!
- Fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 98TH time!
- Toms: Lena's minding me from 9am till 2pm and taking me to Breathe for physio with Jacky before hopefully Pinelands Plaza to buy groceries from Coles and my once-weekly bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehoouse.
- Looking forward to spending my most important two hours of the day online and then reading for one hour before Rebecca takes me to Toastmasters toms night! Also looking forward to getting some dinner back from Maccas; never mind that UnHappy Meals were what I ate surely MORE THAN THREE DECADES ago!! *sigh*
- Anyways, hoopefully bbl tonight else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
