Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1695 steps - ha, I'm over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'When God Becomes 100% For Us'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Hope For The Future' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'When Jesus Stops'. Anyways, events for today?
- Yay, second consecutive awesome sleep last night! Just like yesterday, nature didn't call until 6:20am 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*
- Outta habit, nature calls again around 7:35am (usually the time when dearest dad gets ready to leave for work) but after another pot :P trip, I snore happily with Pijum until woken by PIG mum's noisy daily a-THUMPING around upstairs for one more 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 only Elf's AFO 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 poor drowned :P honey Tint 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 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 sit outside my bedroom and wait for Lena's arrival. Once she gets here I climb into RIX and she kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt (what she does all day) before tootling me off to the NAB for physio.
- Since the normal disabled loo's occupied, I hike past the NAB to the end of the building and use the other disabled loo there. When I exit, there's some Asian guy waiting for me! "Are you Emily?" I'm asked and after I nod, he introduces himself as Pang. I thought Pang was Chinese for fat and fair enough, he was on the tubby side but surely his parents wouldn't give him such an awful name?? XD
- Physio today: Ten sit-to-stands with left and forward weightshift, about ten transfers from double red mats to plinth, one- and two-point kneeling, left weightshift and four laps long hallway walking.Before Pang left, I asked him um, doesn't pang mean fat? Surely your mum didn't call you that?? He roars with laughter and replies "My name is PEng." I screech, ahh, dui bu qi!!!" XD
- After one more loo trip where I sit for two tinkles and rest against the right side-rail since I'm really tired from physio, Lena tootles us back to Pinelands Plaza, grabs a trolley for us and we buy a carton of milk (2L) from Coles before heading down slightly to Pinelands Bakehouse and getting my once-weekly crackling pork bahn mi from Aunty Lisa.
- Back home, I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Alsoo 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 and Lena even made me one mug of French earl grey tea with milk! Pity she didn't add any sweetener, but hey. XD
- Lena left five minutes early (since she arrived five minutes early today; I've asked her to try come on-time next week); after I'd finished lunch, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
- Kelly's taking me to Toastmasters tonight. Looking forward to getting some dinner back from Maccas; never mind that UnHappy meals were what I te like three DECADES ago!! Actually, have I met Kelly before?
- Toms: PIG mum'll help me up coz she's taking me to see Aunty Anna for some acupuncture and massage. I'll prolly manage to stay awake since it's still morning but I bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ her. XD
- Hopefully she'll take me grocery shopping and aisle walking afterwards else expect a super-pissy plodding total for me.
- Excitement: it's Nisha taking me to table tennis toms arvo!
- Looking forward to watching the 6pm news for the 51ST time!
- For GG we're having a social @ Peter Pie's house!
- Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
