Tuesday Post 472

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1632 steps (ha, I'm over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'We Work By Grace'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Always Ask 'What Does The Bible Say?'" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'News Worth Celebrating'. Anyways, events for today?

• Nature called once around 12:45am but thankfully not again until the Sun had risen, unlike Sunday night/Monday morning, when she went berserk and called three/four times, each time with a full bladder! XD
• When nature called again around 7:35am I used the pot :P again 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 cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P just before 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 exceedingly slightly with just the bra strap and 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.
• After I've got myself mostly independently kitted, I call PIG mum back to please finish with Elf's AFO straps and both shoelaces, but she doesn't reappear until 9:50am; by the time I leave the room it's nearly 10am; indeed, Lena arrives while I'm brushing teeth!
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Lena.
• Breakfast is two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix with one full mug of water, all my usual drugs: P and one slice of that beef pancake thing I helped PIG mum make last night; it's delicious! 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 Lena smears sunscreen over my face with a tissue (all my other carers just use their fingers) I sit once more over 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 EraI climbed into RIX and Lena tootled me off to Breathe for physio. Thanks to her who helped me buckle my seatbelt all day.
• Physio today: 1.988km bike ride, 36 assisted pull-ups with left weight shift, 36 hamstring curls for Elf, 36 step ups for Erf, 36 rows for Ela and boxing!
• Our other stop before heading home was Pinelands PlAZA; first to Coles to buy groceries and then to Pinelands Bakehouse to get my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from Aunty Nancy. When she asked me how are you I wailed back so cold; she nodded and replied yes a little bit cold but I screeched back, no, a BIG bit cold! That made her roar with laughter. XD
• Took a nice hot shower - hairwash tooday. Also thanks to Lena who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was my delicious crunchy pork bahn mi plus one delicious mug of vanilla chai with milk.
• PIG mum signed Lena off @ 2pm but kept yapping @ her for a couple more minutes before letting her escape. XD She's back toms @ 2pm and taking me to table tennis!
• After she left, Aunty Cynthia came with her husband (Uncle Albert? Alred? XD) and taught me how to knit with her dishrack and this really huge thick ball  of pink yarn!
• When they leave I use the loo for one tinkle and then plop online.
• Mr. Hall just rang: he's not been well and hasn't been cleared to drive; dunno when I'll ever get my belated birthday lunch with him? XD
• Once I've used up the most important two hours of the day I'll use the loo for one tinkle and then read for one hour before watching the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 138TH time!
• Toms: hope PIG mum helps me up by 9:45am and we can go grocery shopping else expect a super pissy plodding total from me, since Lena's taking me to table tennis @ 2pm and seeing me home and showered before leaving @ 6:30pm. Hopefully the parents will feed me dinner by then @ the latest (if not earlier coz once I've watched the 6pm news for the 139TH time it's the Origin decider! GO THE MIGHTY MAROONS!!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
