Tuesday Post 373

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2707 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic's "Good News: God's Happy"; thirdly, TWFT topic's "When You're Under Attack"; and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Unchanging God'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Woo hoo, 7th consecutive awesome sleep last night! I've finally achieved the 8th time this year that I've achieved one straight week of awesome sleeps; when I first started recording these back in 2008 that first year I got eight and now I've already achieved eight only July's just started! Nature didn't call until 6:40am (just like yesterday) and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since I knew dearest dad would get ready to leave for work in less than one hour!
  • Sure enough, @ 6:35am dearest dad very thoughtfully walks silently along the hallway and unpops the lock into the garage, which wakes 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 has kissed me bye and left for his hard day's work, Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, 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 she goes back outside and awaits Lena's arrival @ 9am.
  • Once PIG mum lets Lena inside, Lena knocks, opens the door and calls good morning! When I nod Pearl @ her she laughs and bids Pearl good morning too before offering me fifteen more minutes? Another nod from her and she wisely removes herself, even though Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving 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. Thanks to Lena who squirts some toothpaste for me.
  • Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Lena.
  • Breakfast is one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with avocado and equally lightly sprinkled with salt, one full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and half a mug of that black sesame-flavoured soya bean milk PIG mum made last night. As expecxted, the drink lacked any sweetness whatsoever but 'twas nice~ 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 passenger seat of Lena's car. She kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt all day and then tootles me off to Breathe for physio with Eric.
  • Hmph the student I clocked on the chin last week didn't buy me the Twix bar like he promised! >< XD He defended himself saying he was a poor uni student who couldn't afford one; I told Eric to FAIL him for this rotation. XD
  • Physio today: 2.468km bike ride,  thirty shoulder press per hand with 4kg dumbbell,  36 steps for Erf', 48 steps for Elf, eight sit-to-stands for boxing ball uppercuts and boxing! I feel loved coz when I left, 'twas bucketing down so Lena told me to lean against the wall while she brought the car back over; while waiting, Jacky came and waited with me~
  • Our next stop was Pinelands Plaza. Thanks to Lena who drove around four times before she got the disabled park thus saving me from a longer walk; bet PIG mum wouldn't have cared and just parked really fae away. >,< XD
  • Lol PIG mum only asked for a loaf of bread from Coles! Our other stop was the Pinelands Bakehouse where I bought a crunchy pork salad roll from Aunty Nancy for lunch. Only the price has increased by fifty cents now ... hope PIG mum'll still lemme buy one every Tuesday!
  • 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.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, back out @ the gobbling :P table Lena immediately made me one big mug of white tea sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar before PIG mum could restrict me to just peppermint tea. XD
  • Lunch was my yummy crackling pork salad roll; Aunty Nancy stuffs CHUNKS of pork into her bahn mi; also, the carrot's not sliced but shaved round!
  • After lunch I used the loo for one more tinkle before plopping online and signing Lena off with my thanks and byes.
  • Don't have anymore plans for the rest of the day. After I've used up the most important two hours of my day, I'll head over to the gobbling :P table and read for one hour before watching the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 101ST time!
  • Toms: pray for sunshine! Can't remember who's taking me to the NAB for physio, but Denny PROMISED he'd shout a hot drink when I did my once-weekly hike of the Great Court else I could amputate his pinkie ... XD
  • Will Jacinta take me to play table tennis toms arvo and see me home and showered before leaving?
  • Pretty sure GG's still sem breaking and nothing's happening toms night ...
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing Wednesday toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
