Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2649 steps (ha, I'm over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The KJing Of Cold That Kills'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "What's The 'Most Important' Thing To You?' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Wise Purposes". Anyways, events for today?
- Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 7:35am and 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*
- Pijum, Pearl and I happily cuddled and snored, PIG mum's daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs waking me for another pot :P trip. 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.
- PIG mum comes back to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFOO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, 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.
- Breakfast is two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix with a very light scattering of Tiny Teddy cereal (honey flavoured) sprinkled 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* But the most amazing thing: PIG mum turned on Sunrise for my watching pleasure!! :D In the past she'd always snap do it yourself but I would never coz it's always safety first for me: sure I wouldn't get to watch Sunrise but @ least I was safely seated~
- After breakfast, I walked myself slowly and safely back to the toilet, 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!
- When Lena arrives, I wash and dry Era and exit the bathroom but PIG mum's yapping @ Lena (her favourite thing to doo XD) so I just lean against the wall and wait for her to finish so we can leave.
- Thanks to Lena who helps me with my seatbelt (as she kindly does all day) before she tootles me off to the NAB for physio. Along the highway we get stuck in traffic but after passing three tow trucks everything's cleared and we make good time to UQ.
- At the therapies building, I use the loo for one tinkle and then enter the NAB.
- Since my student left last week, I'm doing my final two sessions with Rachel, who's Singaporean but speaks both Canto and Mandarin!
- Physio today: Ten transfers from double red mats to plinth, two point and one point kneeling, standing, left weightshift and reaching for Era and eighteen laps short hallway walking. While waiting for Lena to come back, I found out that Ruth's returning to Ireland coz her visa didn't get extended but she's not being forcibly deported. XD The Scottish lady also told me that she also works @ some rehab hospital in Brighton!
- After one more loo trip, Lena tootled us back to Pinelands Coles and grabbed a trolley for us.
- After buying groceries from Coles, we head down to the Pinelands Bakehouse and I buy my once-weekly crackling pork bahn mi from Aunty Lisa. Looking @ the sign above the bakery, which says sth like BAHN MI TIET I ask Aunty Lisa what's tiet but she doesn't seem to understand my question. When Aunty Nancy appears and says hi, I try asking her and learn it actually means meat! That's right, I remember Uncle Michael @ the Calamvale Central Bakery used to sell vegetarian and vegan bahn mis!
- Everything bought, Lena tootles me home and I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Lena who rinses out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
- Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch is my delicious crackling pork bahn mi plus one mug of plain green tea. Lena cleans the bathroom and then sits down to eat lunch with me: her mum made vegetarian wraps for her!
- Lunch finished I ask Lena to wash up my lunch plate and cup for me while I plop online and record down what I did for physio today. Originally, I thought Lena would come massage Ela after washing up the lunch stuff but instead she engages dad in conversation, asking him about what kinda home maintenance jobs he's still doing.
- At 1:55pm I went to sit over the loo for two more tinkles getting myself out and online since Lena got dad to sign her off and left precisely @ 2pm.
- Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day I'll head over to the gobbling :P table, read for one hour (thanks to Lena who found the current Feist book that I'm reading) and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea. Presume she's upstairs arvo napping right now.
- Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 44TH time @ 6pm!
- Toms: PIG mum'll help me up, since she's taking me to see Aunty Anna for some massage and acupuncture. Bet she's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ her, especially since she didn't get to yap @ Ray yesterday. XD
- Hopefully she'll take me grocery shopping and aisle walking afterwards, else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
- Bree's taking me to table tennis and seeing me home and showered before leaving @ 6:30pm; hopefully I'll get to watch the 6pm news for the 45TH time and wolf down dinner before dad drives me to GG! I already missed last week's study, so fingers crossed I can attend this weeks!
- Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
