Tuesday Post 366

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2460 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Jesus Keeps His Ship'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'They Will Come Back To It' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Every Grief'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 6:35am and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep again since I knew dearest dad would get ready to leave for his hard day's work one hour later!
  • Like clockwork, one hour later @ 7:35am dearest dad walks very thoughtfully silently down the hallway and unpops the lock into the garage, which wakes me for another pot :P trip. After it, 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*
  • At 7:45am, dearest dad comes and kisses me goodbye, pretends to suck Pearl's SEVEN pearls, laughs when Pearl body slams him for the cheek, retucks me back into bed and leaves for his hard day's work.
  • After dad goes, Pearl and I cuddle and snore for about another hour, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her 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 Lena's arrival @ 9am.
  • Once PIG mum lets Lena in, Lena knocks, opens the door and bids me good morning. When I nod Pearl back @ her, she laughs, bids Pearl good morning too and offers us fifteen more minutes? Luckily, she removes herself after I nod Pearl @ her again, 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 then I heard over to the bathroom and brush teeth before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Lena, showing her along the way where Karina had found Pearl last Thursday!
  • Breakfast is less than one bowl of Weet-Bix porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast beautifully decorated (by Lena) with sliced avocado and hopefully sprinkled with some 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* Lena only brought hot water; I told her to use our instant coffee and made a cup for me too and she did! Pity PIG mum came downstairs and immediately banned her from doing that again ... *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 in the passenger seat of Rix (Lena's car), she kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt (as she does all day) and then tootles me off to physio @ Breathe.
  • Physio today: 1.333km bike ride,  forty (four sets of ten)  leg raises,  two sets of modified bird dog (one set leaning against raised plinth and the other lying face down on floor) and boxing!
  • Afterwards, Lena tootled us off to Pinelands Coles and grabbed a shopping trolley for us. First we bought groceries from Coles and that I bought my once-weekly bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse. Aunty Nancy was @ the back of the store and I didn't see her but when I called hi she yelled back Hello Emily! Hello Lena! to us. XD
  • 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 doing Elf's AFO straps and one last when she was giving Wally back to Ela.
  • Back outside, lunch was my delicious crackling pork salad roll plus one delicious mug of Chinese tea. Lena helped me dry my hair before returning  to clean the bathroom before joining me for lunch; while we were @ Coles she bought th from the bakery.
  • At 2pm Lena got PIG mum to sign her off but PIG mum kept yapping @ her and wouldn't let her leave for another two minutes. XD
  • After I finish my lunch I use the loo for one tinkle and then walk myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • Once I've used up my most important two hours of the day,  I'll use the loo again then head down to the gobbling :P table and read for one hour; fingers crossed PIG mum'll feed me some arvo tea~
  • Excitement: tonight Rebecca's taking me to the Brewhouse Bakery pub for our belated changeover function! I'm looking forward to a pub dinner. XD
  • Toms: think I'm seeing Ray for some acupuncture and massage before Bree takes me to play table tennis @ midday. Her shift ends @ 6pm but  Yu Lam and Peter Pie are picking me up @ 5:30pm since toms night we're having our SG social: after eating dinner together we're gonna watch the Barbie movie! Will haveta ask PIG mum what time I need to leave table tennis.
  • Anyways, prolly won't bbl so wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
