Tuesday Post 365

 Good afternoon!  Firstly, today I've  been hard @ work plodding 2102 steps (ha, I'm over two grand XD); secondly, John Pipere's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Power To Profess Christ; thirdly, TWFT topic's "You're 'Called ... By His Marvellous Grace'" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Doing Something Right'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Nature called once @ 2:45am; I used the pot :P again when dad very thoughtfully walked silently along the hallway and pulled the bathroom door shut, which woke me; after another pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since I knew he'd leave for work one hour later!
  • Sure enough, one hour later, dearest dad again very thoughtfully walks silently along the hallway and unpops the lock into the garage, which awakes me for another pot :P trip. After this second 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*
  • After dearest dad kisses me bye, retucks me back into bed and leaves for his hard day's work, Pijum and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking about one hour later for one more pot :P trip shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her  daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my bedroom too hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Lena's arrival @ 9am.
  • After PIG mum lets Lena in, Lena knocks, opens the door and bids me good morning. When I flap Pijum's ear @ her, she asks fifteen more minutes? Another earflap and Lina smartly removes herself; phew, since Pijum's too long to give the Bear Bum! XD
  • When Lena comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and I head  over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and 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 was one bowl of plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread lightly with avocado and sprinkled equally lightly with salt,  one mug of coffee 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 Lena's passenger seat. She kindly helps me with my seatbelt and then tootles me off to Breathe for physio with Eric.
  • Physio today:3 TUG rests, thirty sit-to-stands,  stepping for both feet,  independent standing with eyes closed, three sets of ten hip abduction for Elf and three sets of bridging (ten per set).Eric has new UQ physio students; Val was the one helping out today and he's twenty-eight andfrom the Philippines!
  • Afterwards, Lena tootles us off to Pinelands Plaza and grabs a trolley for us.
  • We start first with buying groceries from Woolies before ending with buying my once-weekly pork salad roll from Aunty Nancy @ the Pinelands Bakehouse.
  • Back home, some guys @ our electricity meter ... umm, will there be any hot water for my shower??
  • Phew - yes! So a nice hot shower for me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Lena who helped me rinse my hair out, 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 Lena was doing Elf's AFO straps and one last when she was giving Wally back to Ela.
  • Back outside, lunch was my delicious bahn mi plus one scrumptious mug of Chinese tea.
  • After lunch, I sat once more  over the loo and then walked myself slowly and safely online, again  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • PIG mum's gone upstairs for her daily arvo nap; she says she'll come  gimme arvo tea @ 5pm so once I've used up my most important two hours of the day I'll use the loo for one tinkle and then head down to the gobbling :P table to read the book club novel for the 7th hour!
  • Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 110TH time!
  • Toms: seeing Ray for  some massage and acupuncture; bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD Unless he's still taking holidays?  Then hopefully PIG mum'll take me grocery shopping and aisle walking, else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
  • Don't think I've got NAB physio toms but isn't Jacinta taking me to play table tennis? Hope there's cake; there wasn't any last week! XD
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing Wednesday ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
