Monday Post 463

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2263 steps today; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'We All Need Help'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Being Friends With God (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Priceless Results'. Anyways, events for today?

• Nature called once around 1:50am last night, I woke again for the pot :P when dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently along the hallway and pulled the bathroom door shut @  6:35am, after which I immediately fell back asleep since I knew ge'd get ready to leave for his hard day's work one hour later!
• Sure enough, exactly one hour later, dearest dad again walks very thoughtfully silently down the hallway and unpops the lock into the garage, which wakes me again for another pot :P trip. After this second 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, pretends to suck Pearls's SEVEN pearls, laughs his head off when Pearl body slams him for the cheek, I happily snore so throughly that I miss PIG mum's usual daily a-THUMPING around upstairs and don't wake until she comes to hit me with the eye goo!
• I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, she surprisingly helps me exceedingly slightly with not only the bra strap but the tee and  then she  leaves me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum comes back to finish with only Elf's AFO straps and  both shoelaces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then 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.
• After getting myself a spoon (33RD time I've had to get  myself cutlery this year ><) breakfast was two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix sprinkled with some  Minus :P over the top, 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 walk myself slowly and safely back to the loo, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. 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 backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my seatbelt. PIG mum gets in too and then tootles me off to Calamvale to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage.
• I use the loo once on arrival, then lie down and get some treatment from Ray. Lol, poor Elf really has sh*tty sensation; when I told Ray what he was doing to my left foot hurt and I wanted to kick him in the face with my right foot, he laughed, did exactly the same to my right foot and asked  how does  that feel? Really comfy! I answered, surprised. You mean you're doing the same for both feet??
• Afterwards, PIG mum and I leave a script @ the Warrigal Square pharmacy. I sit while she queues; this Indian man's holding his little girl and I play peekaboo with her! When she giggles I stick my tongue out @ her; she laughs and pokes her tongue right back out @ me! Her dad notices and we exchange greetings; I turn to the little girl and ask how old are you, two? Three? She proudly sticks up her thumb, poointer and middle finger and chants back, three!
• While waiting for dad's prescription, mother and I head over to Woolies and buy groceries. Aww, too bad: when we return to the pharmacy to collect and pay for (it's REALLY EXPENSIVE!! O_o) they'd already left~
• Back home, I used the  loo for another tinkle and then sat down to Whatsapp baba, saying we've got your medicine but you already left! Dad immediately Whatsapp videocalled me~
• PIG mum asked did I want a toastie/rice leftovers for lunch; obviously I said toastie since I didn't feel like getting myself another spoon for lunch! Like I told her, I only need rice for dinner~
• That was washed down with one delicious big mug of green tea; after sitting over the loo for one tinkle I walked myself slowly and safely back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• When CODA just rang, I nearly had a heart attack, thinking that Rebecca couldn't make it AGAIN! o_O Thankfully, she was ringing for another matter~
• Rebecca's minding me from 4-6pm today. Fingers crossed for the chance to read for another hour!
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 172ND time.
• Toms: Lena's minding me 9:15am-2:15pm. PIG mum's already said she'll gimme fifteen more minutes @ 9am and I can get up right away once Lena arrives.
• She's taking me to Breathe for physio with Eric for 1.5 hours. I'm just grumpy cooz that session will mark the ONE HUNDREDTH HOUR of blasted physio I've endured this year. >< *sigh*
• Presuming we'll buy groceries @ Coles Pinelands and get my once-weekly crackling pork bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse before coming home and showering.
• After Lena leaves @ 2:15pm I'll spend my most important two hours of the day online and hopefully read for an hour.
• Suddenly there's a special Zoom meeting for Toastmasters from 6:30pm till 7:30pm! Will remember not to watch the 6pm bulletin~
• Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
