Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2692 steps (ha, I'm over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "Lincoln's Providence"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Tackle Your Giant Head-On' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's Jesus' Blood". Anyways, events for today?
- Lol, December 31st 2022 I'd awoken @ 4:50am to find that the Sun had already risen but this morning, us being halfway through the last month of Summer, 'twas still pitch black when nature called and I flipped on the light to check the time!
- Outta habit, nature called again @ 7:35am; usually that's the time dearest dad gets ready to leave for his hard day's work but since he doesn't appear., I presume he's still not well enough to work. >< I use the pot :P again and 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*
- Around 9am I'm woken for one final pot :P trip when 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 and help me exceedingly slightly with not only the bra strap but the tee (since dearest dad's still @ home) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
- PG mum sends dearest dad to finish out helping with my footwear before I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth, sit for one tinkle over the loo, 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.
- Breakfast is one bowl of poor drowned :P Tiny Teddy fake chocolate cereal with two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix, 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!
- Lena arrives to take me out to the NAB. While she drives, I happily played the HP version of Bejeweled - I've passed two/three levels tooday!
- At UQ, I use the loo for one tinkle and then we sit and wait outside in the waiting area since we're about ten minutes early. When one student calls his client, Lena says we'll start heading along the hallway too.
- We meet Liz partway down the hallway but she says she's not with me today; instead, today I work with an Asian student who understands/speaks Cantonese! Like me, though, she can't read/write much Canto, since she did her schooling in Singapore.
- Physio today: Seven/eight transfers from double red mat toplinth, one- and two-point kneeling lunging and fourteen laps short hallway walking. Elaine slipped me a Coke lolly before the session started and the student gave me one mini Freddo frog when I left~ ^^
- After sitting over the loo for two more tinkles, Lena tootled us back to Pinelands Plaza. She grabbed a trolley for us before we bought groceries from Coles.
- Our final stop before returning home was to the Pinelands Bakehouse for my crackling pork salad roll. Aunty Lisa told me that yes, Vietnamese celebrate CNY too, so I bai leen to her. XDS
- Back home I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Lena who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
- Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was my delicious crackling pork bahn mi plus one mug of green tea. After lunch I went and booted the computer up while Lena washed my lunch dishes for me.
- At 1:55pm I sat once more over the loo for two tinkles while dad signed Lena off and shooed her away. Thankfully I returned online without incident but I'm unsure when I'll see Lena again since next week's a new block of students. Ruth/Elaine said they'd contact mum about new appointments.
- Bree's taking me to Toastmasters tonight! I've said I'll really give a speech about alcohol provided Viktor really DOES bring me a bottle of vodka chocolate mudslide!! XD
- Looking forward to bringing dinner back home from Maccas - never mind that UnHappy Meals were what I ate like three DECADES ago!! *sigh*
- Toms: think I'm seeing Aunty Anna for some massage and acupuncture; wonder is PIG mum well enough to take me yet?
- Bree's rostered down again to take me to table tennis toms arvo; it's gonna be a special one because Kim's already said there's gonna be cake for Jo's 40TH birthday!
- She'll see me home and showered before leaving @ 6:30pm; I'm finish watching the 6pm news for the 39TH time then presumably head out to Peter Pie's place for GG!
- Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
