Tuesday Post 473

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2588 steps (ha, I'm literally just over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Preach Too Yourself'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Don't Be Afraid Of Failing (1) and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Time To Party'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:45am, 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*
• Around 9am I'm woken for  another pot :P trip when 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 me 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 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 one bowl of plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) multigrain toast, 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, Lena smothers my face in sunscreen with a tissue and then walks with me back to the bathroom. 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 RIX, remembering that he's navy blue and not black! XD Thanks to Lena who helps me buckle my seatbelt (as she kindly does all day) and then she tootles me off to Breathe for physio. Funnily enough, all the parking spots are taken today, and she parks sideways just beyond the driveway; better for me, since it's closer to Breathe! XD
• Physio today: 2.348km bike ride, 36 assisted pull-ups, 36 step up for Erf, 36 cable rows for Ela, 36 calf pulls for Elf and boxing!
• Afterwards, Lena tootles us off to Pinelands Plaza but even though we're buying groceries from Coles parks nearly halfway along the row of shops since PIG mum didn't gimme the parking permit today. >< *sigh*
• Lena grabbed a trolley for us, and after we'd bought groceries I stopped @ Pinelands Bakehouse and grabbed myself a crunchy pork bahn mi from Aunty Nancy.
• Back home, I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Lena who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Whoops, only fifteen minutes left, so just briefly:
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was my yummy crunchy  pork bahn mi and one delicious mug of vanilla chai.
• I signed  Lena off with my thanks and byes @ 2pm; she's back exactly twenty-four hours later and taking me too play table tennis!
• Once I've used up the most   important two hours  of my day I'll go read for one hour and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea.
• Nisha's taking me to Toastmasters tonight; for once I'm actually looking forward to the UnHappy Meal because hopefully it's still Minion-themed!
• Toms: hope PIG mum helps me up toms morning and takes me grocery shopping somewhere else expect a supper-pissy plodding total from me.
• Lena's taking me to table tennis @ 2pm and I hear there's gonna be 40TH birthday cake!
• Will get home and shower quickest coz David and Dr. Esther are giving me a lift to Winston's and Tracy's place for the combined GG social (BYO takeaway dinner) then Peter  Pie and Yu Lam are dropping me back home afterwards!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
