Tuesday Post 387

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1883 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Christmas Model For Missions'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Character (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's  'Learning From Scars'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Luckily, I achieved my 12TH instance of seven consecutive awesome sleeps the night befgore, because last night my bladder suddenly wanted attention and poked me awake @ 12:45am to use the pot! :P Other than that, 'twas still a solid sleep~ 
  • Nature called again around 6:20am and after another 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*
  • Nature usually calls hourly after that first daylight pot :P trip, but happiness is snoring soundly with Pearl and Pijum all the way until dearest dad very thoughtfully walks silently along the hallway and unpops the lock into the garage before waking again to relieve myself.
  • After dearest dad kisses me bye, pretends to suck Pearl's SEVEN pearls, laughs his head off when Pearl body slams him for the cheek, retucks me back into bed and leaves for his hard day's work, we all happily cuddle and snore, me waking foor the pot :P once more shortly before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around. Soon, she's let herself into  my room to hit me with the eye goo and gimme fifteen more minutes since Lena won't arrive till 9:30am today because she's got someone over fixing her door?
  • When Lina arrives, I immediately swing outta bed, use the pot :P for one more tinkle before we get me kitted and I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth before sitting over the loo for one tinkle, washing and drying Era and then heading out to the gobbling :P table with Lena, who tells me that she also had two Weet-Bix for breakfast!
  • For my breakfast, I also get two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix scattered very thinly with a layer of Minus and all my usual drugs. :P PIG mum forgets to gimme one huge mug of water and I quickly swallow eavh pill with a spoonful of milk before she can come downstairs, see and pour me one  giant mug. XD 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 backseat of RIX and Lena tootles me off to Breathe for my FINAL session of physio for 2023, HALLELUJAH!! :D We arrive like ten minutes early but head inside straightaway to enjoy the air con. XD Oh, and thanks to Lena who helped me buckle my seatbelt all day, too.
  • Physio today: 1.462km bike ride, thirty shoulder press per hand with 4kg dumbbell, 24 smith machine chest press, 36 assisted pull up, 36 rows per hand and boxing! 
  • Once it's  over, I walk back outside, sit down and BELLOW "I'VE FINISHED PHYSIO FOR 2023, WOOT! HOLIDAYS!!" Winnie and Shirley both just crack up. XD Then I tell them they don't exist anymore and pretend I can't see them; they just both roar with laughter again. XD
  • Our other stop is Pinelands Plaza; Lena finds a disabled park, grabs a trolley for us and we buy groceries from Coles  before I head down slightly and buy my once-weekly crackling pork salad roll from the Pinelands Bakehouse. Aunty Lisa's behind the till so I give her the Christmas card that I've written for her and Aunty Nancy; she's so touched that she pays for my bahn mi herself!
  • Back home, I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Lena whoo helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye fully shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was my delicious crackling pork salad roll and one big mug of white tea - just pity Lena couldn't find where PIG mum had hidden the sweetener!
  • At 1:55pm  I sat over the loo for two more tinkles and then signed Lena off with my thanks, vyes, and cya next year!
  • Toms: Toms: seeing Aunty Anna for some massage and acupuncture; bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ her. XD
  • Will hopefully go grocery shopping and aisle walking with PIG mum afterwards else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
  • Jess will come for her annual visit @ 2pm! Presume Aunty Carol and her  bubs are coming too?
  • Bree's minding me 4-6pm.
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
