Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1337 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Radical Recompense'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Make God The Sense Of Your Self-worth and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Pause To Pray'. Anyways, events for today?
- Woo hoo, 8th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 7:05am 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*
- Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am just 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 only the bra strap and 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 and call good morning to Bree who arrives while I', pulling my pants back up.
- For breakfast, I enjoy one bowl of flaky Just Wrong :P/Special K with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread with avocado and sprinkled with salt, 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 washing and drying Era, I climbed into the passenger seat of Bree's car. Thanks to her who kindly helped me with my seatbelt (as she did all day) and then she tootled me off to Breathe for physio.
First Shirley had me sign sth and then physio with Winnie was 1.789 km bike riding, standing balance test with stepping and reaching for both arms, turning two 360s, three sets rowing with v-bar and boxing!
After one loo trip, Bree tootled us off to Pinelands Plaza and grabbed a trolley for us before we bought groceries from Coles.
Then I bought my once-weekly crunchy pork salad roll from Aunty Lisa; when I asked her where Aunty Lisa was, I was told "On holiday!"
Back home I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Bree 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 crunchy pork bahn mi; yay also that Bree found the honey and made me one MASSIVE mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey!
At 2pm I signed her off with my thanks and byes. She's eight years younger than me~
After lunch I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
