Tuesday Post 471

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2911 steps; secondly, john Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Help My Unbelief'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "You're Christ's Ambassador (2)" and thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "It's Empty Now". Anyways, events for today?

• Has it really been three days since I last enjoyed an awesome night's sleep? Nature didn't call until 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*
• Usually nature calls hourly after that first daylight pot :P trip, but happiness was snoring soundly with Pearl all the way until 8:55am when dearest dad very thoughtfully walks silently along the hallway and unpops the lock into the front dooir for Lena's arrival @ 9am before waking for the pot :P once more.
• Once dad lets Lena inside  @ 9am, she knocks, pushes the door open and bids me good morning. When I nod Pearl back @ her, Lena's a sweetheart who bids Pearl good morning too before offering us fifteen more minutes? One more nod from Pearl and Lena wisely leaves us be, even though Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum. XD
• When Lena comes back, I use the pot :P for @  least three more tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table.
• Breakfast is one bowl of plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt, one full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and half a mug of watery Milo. 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 Lena's passenger seat, she kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt (what she does all day) and then she tootles me off to Breathe for physio. Arriving early (dad's preference), she parks @ the end and we both play with our respective smartphones  until it's time to head into the physio gym.
• There are two UQ students there today! One says he recognised me from the NAB;  I tell him while I've got awful memory I've yet to forget a  past student but I'm sure you've never given me physio before? The student laughed and said, oh, I was @ the NAB but I wasn't your student. Phew! XD
• Physio today: 1.862km bike ride,  36 leg curls per foot. 36 shoulder press per arm, 36 standing rows. 36 foot taps on smartbell and boxing!
• Afterwards, Lena tootled us off to Pinelands Plaza and parked @ the disabled parking spot outside Coles before grabbing a trolley for us.
• First we head into Coles and buy groceries. Dad wanted Tim Tams; he'd better gimme one/two!
• Our  other stop was to the Pinelands Bakehouse  where I bought a crunchy  pork salad  roll from Aunty Nancy~
• Back home, I took a nice hot shower  - 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 flipped 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 when she was giving Wally back to Ela.
• Back outside, lunch was my delicious crunchy pork salad roll plus one mug of white tea. Too bad Lena couldn't find any sweetener, but white tea without sweetener still tastes better than  peppermint tea. XD
• Before Lena left @ 2pm, I used the loo once more for two tinkles before signing her off with my thanks and byes. She's back same time next Tuesday.
• Dad's mates (three uncles and one aunty) have just popped by.
• Rebecca's taking me to Toastmasters tonight - and she's doing her ice breaker! Hopefully she'll have dinner with me from Maccas afterwards to celebrate her first speech~
• Toms: Dunno who's helping me up toms but she'll take me to  see Aunty Anna for some massage and acupuncture, taking me to the NAB for physio and seeing me home and showered before leaving.
• I vaguely recall  small group's not happening tonight; will confirm via our Whatsapp group after I get mobile access.
• Anyway, I'll haveta concoct my GCCW homework!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day ttoms!
  Cheers,Em. ^^
