Tuesday Post 472

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2854 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Offense Of Fearing Man'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'How To Develop Patience (2)' and thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'True Religion'. Anyways, events for today?

• Nature called around 2:30am; I used the pot:P again around 6:45am before 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 usually calls hourly after that first daylight pot :P trip, but happinness is snooring soundly with Pearl all the way until 8:50am when dearest dad silently and very thoughtfully walks down the hallway and unlocks the door for Lena's arrival @ 9am.
• Once dad lets Lena in, Lena knocks, opens the door and bids me good morning. When I nod Pearl @ her, she laughs, bids Pearl good morning too and offers us fifteen more minutes, wisely leaving when I nod Pearl @ her again. Phew, since Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum. XD
• When Lena returns, I use the pot :P once more for three tinkles, we get me kitted and I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I head outside to the gobbling :P table.
• Breakfast is one bowl of Weet-Bix porridge with one slice of toast lightly spread 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 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 the backseat of Lena's car. She kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt all day and tootles me off to Breathe Physio and Pilates for my physio session with Eric.
• Physio today: 2.509km bike ride,  three sets of standing rowing for both arms, three sets of stepping for both legs,  knees boxing raises legs and normal boxing! Only one student was present today; the other was @ some rowing competition!
• Our other stop was Pinelands Plaza.  Unfortunately all the disabled parking spots were taken and Lena didn't find another park until the other end, but hey.
• Lena grabbed a trolley for us and we first bought groceries froom Coles before I ordered my crunchy pork salad roll from Aunty Nancy @ Pinelands Bakehouse.
• Back home I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Lena who helped me rinse out my hair out; thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye fully 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 Elf's AFO straps and one last when she was giving Wally back to Ela.
• Back outside, lunch was my yummy pork salad roll - silly Aunty Nancy grabbed the wrong one for me; it wasn't crunchy but Lena pointed out there was LOTSA meat inside - and one mug of white tea with one spoonful of honey because like I told Lena, dad's gone out swimming and you don't haveta gimme peppermint tea anymore! XD
• Lol we both had so much fun playing with our mobiles that we didn't notice the time! I stuffed my last morsel of pork salad roll into my mouth, asked Lena to please wash my lunch dish and cup for me, and quickly used the loo for one tinkle. Actually I signed Lena off while I was still over the loo. XD
• Toms: a super-early start  for me since I've gotta see Kelvin Leung for my new mouth splint! Will ask PIG mum tonight: can she get baba to take me for breakfast @ Maccas afterwards?
• Unsure who's taking me to see Aunty  Anna for some massage and acupuncture @ 10am?
• Also unsure who's taking me to the NAB in the arvo and then seeing me showered afterwards but I've gotta e-mail Kim and explain my absence for the next month!\
• Most excitingly: it's ORIGIN TWO toms night; GO  THE MIGHTY MAROONS!!! Only Dr. Lee has taken up my offer to watch the match @ my place and he's only staying for the first half since his cats have given him a curfew but hopefully others will come!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
