Thursday Post 469

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2403 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from  last night's 'The End Of The Gospel'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "'Fix' Your Mind And Change Your Life' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's  'The God Of All Our Days' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-ONE MINUTES online after I get home from book club tonight!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Wait I just forgot to note down that my final, final plodding total for Wednesday was 3650 (ha, I'm over 3.5 grand XD) and @ GG,nine attended, Peter Pie  led a Bible study from Nehemiah chapter seven.
• But yeah, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! PIG mum woke me with her noisy a-THUMPING around @ 6:25am and after one  pot :P trip I immediately fell right back asleep  since I knew she'd get very noisy again less than one hour later!
• Like clockwork, noisy PIG mum a-THUMPING upstairs @ 7:20am awakes 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*
• PIG mum enters my room and hits me with the eye goo before returning outside and awaiting Karina's arrival. Once she's let Karina in, Karina knocks, pushes open the door and bids me good morning. When I flap one of Pijum's ears @ her, she says hitting the snooze button for fifteen more minutes ... Pijum gives another earflap and thankfully she leaves us in peace. Phew, coz Pijum's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum. XD
• After Karina comes back, I use the pot :P for three more tinkles, we get me kitted and I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who's already squirted some toothpaste for me. Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then walk out to the gobbling :P table with Karina.
• Breakfast is one bowl of Weet-Bix porridge (two Weet-Bix) with one slice of dry (unbuttered) bread ripped into it, all my usual drugs :P and one full cup 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* Oh, and I also get to watch Sunrise while munching breakfast! Only I'm unsure did already turn Sunrise on/did Karina put it on for me while I was in the bathroom. XD
• 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 Karina's car passenger seat. Thanks to her who helps me buckle my seatbelt (as she does all day) before she tootles me off to the Garbo library for GCCW!
• After using the disabled loo once, I head into Meeting Room One and grab my preferred spot. Karina leaves to buy groceries for PIG mum.
• Eight attended today; thanks to Mary who helped me once to the disabled loo during morning tea and Alistair not only bought Tim Tams (I munched two) for morning tea, but he also even made mini strawberry cheesecakes that tasted INCREDIBLE! Our next  homework topic's 'Leak'.
• After one more toilet trip, Karina tootled me somewhere to get my gyro! Only they tried to cheat us: the first one came WITHOUT chips! Luckily we spotted it, Karina took it back inside and demanded a proper one. Mm... delish!
• Physio today: Barefoot Elf weight bearing while Era did reaching, 43 sit-to-stands with left weight shift and four/five TUG tests. Lol I nearly stole the walkbelt home! Luckily Karina saw it when I was climbing back into her car; she took it back upstairs for me while I sheepishly e-mailed Sonia confessing my crime. XD
• Took a nice hot shower when I got home - hairwash today. Also thanks to Karina who rinsed out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, I headed out to the gobbling :P table for arvo tea. Dad had left me half a cup of water and a tiny banana; Karina found my new packet of HK-style milk tea (it tastes AMAZING!) and fed me one pack of sweet hospital bikkies (one choc chip cookie and one Scotch Finger).
• I used the loo for one more tinkle and popped online.
• CODA can't find anyone to take me to book club @ 5:30pm but Jacinta's coming @ 6!
• Toms: someone new's taking me to the NAB for two hours; fingers crossed I can do my once-weekly Great Court hike~
• Tiff's coming toms arvo but I've already what we're cooking! Sth with chicken; presume mother will buy ingredients toms while I'm out.
• Planning to watch the 6pm news for the 125TH, wolf down dinner quickly @ 7pm and be seated on the couch for 7:30pm coz the Broncos are playing the Eels toms night!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
