Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1471 steps (so will have definitely passed 1.5 grand before the day's out XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Every Calvary Step Was Love'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Prepare Yourself'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Loving Like Jesus' and fifthly, the spam count for the week's eleven. Anyways, events for today?
- Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until the noisy garbage truck THUNDERED our road to tip bins and wokje me; after one 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*
- Outta habit I wake again for the pot :p around 7:45am but know poor dad's still sick. ><
- Nature calls once more around 9am 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.
- When the new carer arrives, I hear her introduce herself as SALMONELLA?! Surely I must've heard that wrong! XD
- After the new carer comes back, I swing myself over to the pot :P for one tinkle and introduce myself. Turns out her name's Sanella, she's like thirty-eight/forty-eight and from Yugoslavia! Her daught's doing accounting @ uni and her son's turning twenty-one sometime this year and is a tradie.
- Once we got me kitted, I went and brushed teeth, sat over the loo, washed and dried Era and then headed out to the gobbling :P table with Sanella.
- Breakfast was two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix with a very light scattering of chocolate Tiny Teddy cereal, 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 sit back over the loo proper. 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 Sanella's car, she kindly helps me with my seatbelt (as she kindly does all day) and then tootles me off to Breathe for physio, dropping me off first before going to repark the car.
- Physio today: 1.452km bike ride, thirty sit-to-stands, thirty steps for Erf and boxing! Winnie checked Ela's sore arm for me and guesses I've somehow slightly sprained it. Just rest her~
- Sanella takes me once more to the bathroom (the lock code's sth like 87XYZ and then we head back to the Warrigal Square Woolies to buy groceries. Unfortunately, all the disabled parks outside Woolies are taken but luckily there's one outside the Japanese grocery shop.
- After buying groceries, Sanella toootles me home and I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Sanella who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
- Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was one yummy toasted tuna in tomato and onion sandwich with one slice of cheese and one delicious mug of Chinese tea.
- At 1:55pm I sit over the lo once more for two tinkles before signing her with my thanks and byes. She's nice; I hope she comes back soon~
- Once I've used up my most important two hours online I'll head over to the gobbling :P table where PIG mum has left me some arvo tea and hopefully finish reading The Dressmaker!
- Unfortunately I'll not get to watch the 6pm news bulletin tonight because Grace's coming to give Ela one hour's worth of unfunctional exercises @ 5:30pm ... unless I can persuade her to leave early?? XD
- Toms: still don't get Saturday support yet; hope PIG mum helps me up before 9:45am and I get my fried egg for breakfast! Dunno where we're going for walkies but fingers crossed I'll get to buy my once-weekjly sushi roll for arvo tea then I'm hopefully going to play ping pong with dearest dad @ church but must ask tonight.
- Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
