Tuesday Post 346

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1123 steps (ha, I'm over one grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Forever Satisfied'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Walking With God' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Missing The Basics'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6am 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*
• Nature calls again around 7:45am; after another pot :P and happier snorings  with Pijum, I'm awoken for the pot :P once more shortly before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with not only the bra strap but the tee (since dearest dad's @ 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 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/three yummy but dry (no honey) Weet-Bix with a very light sprinkling of Minus :P over the top, all my usual drugs :P and one full cup of water. Oh, I also enjoyed the lactose-free yoghurt that Jacinta left behind and said I could eat; that tasted great! Originally I was nervous it'd taste disgusting like the vegan Whopper but perhaps I've just got inferior tastebuds. 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 walked myseelf 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!

• When Sanella arrives, PIG mum immediately orders me out, despite me protesting I'm not done yet. Her justification's 'if you don't leave NOW you're gonna be late'.

• But traffic was bad and I ended up late anyway! Usually I'd ring reception @ 9:55am but said Senella said ring @ 9:53am. I was super-busting by the time I reached the loo and told Sanella don't bother wiping the seat; I've gotta pee NOW! XD

• Peng meets us near the entrance @ the NAB and waves away my profuse apologies about being late.

• Physio today: Forty-five sit-to-stands with left and forward weightshift,  seated reaching cone work for both hands and Peng checked and measured Elf with Elaine. Elaine says they received the e-mail I sent last night and that Mrs. Hoppie will check Elf on Thursday~

• After one more toilet trip, Sanella tootled me off to Pinelands Plaza and left me inside the car while she got groceries from Coles and bought me a pork salad roll from the Pinelands Bakehouse. Usually, I go with, but was excused today on account of Elf's sore ankle and the rainy weather.

• Back home I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Senella who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

• I had one tinkle before Sanella flipped the nice warm water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Senella rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was doing Elf's AFO straps and one last when I was drying inside both ears.

• Back @ the gobbling :P table, lunch was my yummy pork salad roll (not crackling; unsure did Sanella forget to order crackling/did Aunty Nancy (Sanella told me the taller lady served her, not the shouter, rounder one XD) with one mug of green/peppermint tea.

• After I finished lunch, I plopped online and booted the computer up. Sanella washed my lunch cup then sat and gave Ela a very light massage for exactly ten minutes; apparently, Michelle says that's how long the massage should be?

• At 1:45pm I signed her off with my thanks and byes. She's back toms and taking me to table tennis!

• Once I've used up the most important two hours of the day I'll visit the loo for one tinkle and then sit @ the gobbling :P table, read for one hour and wait for PIG mum to come down from her arvo nap before asking for some arvo tea.

• The old lady's taking me to Toastmasters tonight ... what's her name, Sandra?

• Looking forward to bring some dinner back home from Maccas; never mind that Unhappy Meals were what I ate surely THREE DECADES ago!! *sigh*

• Toms: think I'm seeing Aunty Anna for some massage and acupuncture? Bet PIG mum's simply  DYING to yap ceaselessly @ her.

• Fingers crossed PIG mum'll take me grocery shopping and aisle walking afterwards, else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.

• Sanella's coming back and taking me to table tennis toms arvo!

• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news for the 72ND time!

• Anyways, maybe bbl otherwise hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
