Friday Post 470

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3071 steps (ha, I'm just over three grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'What It Means To Bless The Lord'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Overcoming Temptation'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Festivals Of Worship' and fifthly, the spam count for the week's just seven. Anyways, events for   today?

  • Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't caall until 7am and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since I knew PIG mum would get VERY noisy less than one hour later!
  • Like clockwork, PIG mum noisily going a-THUMPING around upstairs @ 7:50am wakes me for another pot :P trip, after which 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 PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo, she goes back outside and awaits Catherine's arrival. Once she lets Catherine in, she opens my room door and says fifteen more minutes. I flap Pijum's ear @ her and they both leave me in peace. Oh, BTW, my monthlies arrived this morning.
  • When Catherine comes back, I use the pot :P for oone more tinkle before I head  over to the bathroom and brush teeth. After sitting over the loo for one tinkle, I wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Catherine, who's five years younger than me.
  • Breakfast is one bowl of Weet-Bix porridge, my yummy custard bun (PIG mum originally 'forgot' it; luckily I didn't!) all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Thanks to Catherine who turns on Sunrise for my viewing pleasure; 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 Catherine's car, she kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt and then tootles me off to UQ for physio, stopping @ the petrol station on Logan Rd. and refueling her car first.
  • Only the traffic suddenly slows and stops? Unsure what the problem was, but @ five to I ring the NAB and ask reception to please let someone know that I'm coming but will arrive late.
  • Phew I only arrive about five minutes late. My last session with Monika: Reaching for Era with barefoot Elf weight bearing, seventy sit-to-stands with left weight shift, reaching for Ela and hiked one lap around the Great Court!
  • After I sit over the loo for two more tinkles, Catherine tootles me home and I take a nice  hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Catherine who helps me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, I head  out to the gobbling :P and Cqatherine makes me a canned tuna with tomato and onion toastie with TWO cheese and a mug of white tea. Unfortunately she can't find the sweetener and forgets the butter, but hey. XD
  • When the parents get home, I sign Catherine off with my thanks and byes. Unsure when she's back next.
  • Once I've used up the most important two hours of the day I'll use the loo for one tinkle and then head over to the gobbling :P table and read for one   hour.
  • Fingers crossed that I can watch the 6pm news for the 130TH and dad will take us out for dinner somewhere tonight!
  • Will ring CODA after I get offline and ask Michelle who's minding me 10-2 toms.
  • Looking  forward to playing table tennis with dearest dad @ church~
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead! 
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
