Good afternoon! Today I've been hard @ work plodding only 992 steps today (so certain I'll have cracked one grand before the day's out XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'How To Hate Your Life'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Stand On God's Word (2)" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Extending Christ's Kindness." Anyways, events for today?
- Nature called once around 1:50am last night; I used the pot :P again around 7:35am before 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, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before 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 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 returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO and both shoelaces - correction, she did Erf's shoelaces and then dearest dad took over and did the rest before I headed over to the bathroom and brushed teeth and sat over the loo for one tinkle.
- After washing and drying Era I slid open the door and was just about to walk down the hallway into the dining room when ding dong, Mercy arrived! She walked behind me to the gobbling :P table.
- Breakfast was some healthy cereal, all my usual drugs :P and oone large cup 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*
- Breakfast finished, Mercy plasters my face with sunscreen and then walks ehind me back to the loo. 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 Mercy's blue Honda and she tootles me off to Breathe for physio.
- Physio today: 1.877km bike ride, 36 assisted, 36 leg curls for Elf, 36 rows for Ela, 36 step ups for Erf with left weight shift and boxing!
- Next Mercy tootles us off to Pinelands Plaza for grocery shopping. Pity all the disabled parking spots were taken, meaning she had to park further away, but hey.
- Mercy grabbed a trolley for us and we bought groceries from Coles (three things) before I bought my once-weekly crackling pork bahn mi from Pinelands Bakehouse. Aunty Nancy served me and when she asked me, where (sic) Lena I stuck out my lower lip and replied "Sick."
- Got home and took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Mercy who helped me rinse out my hair for me, 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 huge mug of some Japanese tea.
- At 2pm I signed Mercy off with my thanks and byes. Unsure when I'll see her again, but I've said Merry Christmas and Happy 2025 in case it's not until next year. XD
- Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day, I'll use the loo for one tinkle and then sit and read for one hour while waiting for PIG mum to wake from her arvo nap, come downstairs and feed me arvo tea.
- Will hopefully watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 107TH time!
- Also planning to restart composing my GCCW competition entry - and will remember to SAVE it this time!! XD
- Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing day toms! The person who minded me Monday will take me to play table tennis and then we're got GG hotpot happening @ 6:30pm; hoping to attend!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
