Tuesday Post 495

Good afternoon and Merry Christmas Eve! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2118 steps (ha, I'm over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "God's Indescribable Gift"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Lessons From The Life Of Joseph (2) and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Light Of Christ.' Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 7th awesome consecutive awesome sleep last night; that's the 17TH time this year I've scored one straight week of consecutive awesome sleeps! :D Like the past three days, nature didn't call until 6:10am, 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 the pot :P once more shortly before 9am, just 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 me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap 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 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 dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly smeared with some avocado and hopefully sprinkled with some 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*

• Monika arrives two minutes late today but smothers me with sunscreen before walking behind me back to the bathroom, where I sit over the loo proper. 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 Monicah's car and she tootles me off to Breathe for my final physio session for the year! Thanks to her who helps me with my seatbelt all day.

• At Breathe, I tell Winnie about my wry neck problem immediately and she spent almost the entire session treating me for it. First I just sat on the chair then she had me lie tummy up on the plinth and finally she had me flip and lie tummy down on the plinth. I asked her am I somehow sleeping with incorrect posture and Winnie just laughed, saying no, it's not your fault. You're probably just too excited for Christmas. XD

• Then I finished with boxing before I was fed three/four slices of pizza with two/three slices of garlic bread! Isn't Shirley sweet: originally she said no pizza for your carer but then she went and brought Monicah over a plate too!

• After using the ambulant cubicle, Monicah tootles me off to Pinelands Plaza and I buy my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from Aunty Lisa and give her a Christmas card too~

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

• Dried, creamed and rekitted, I head out to the gobbling :P table to read for one hour. At 2pm, I sign Monicah off with my thanks and byes.

• When PIG mum and dearest dad get home I ask her can I eat my bahn mi for arvo tea but when she snaps no I plop online instead.

• No plans for the rest of the day but it's CHRISTMASD toms! :D We'll attend service @ Redeemer/apparently BCAC's holding a Christmas service this year?

• Don't have any plans for the rest of the day ... think we've been invited to the Slams?

• Anyways, hopefully bbl else MERRY CHRISTMAS for the 25th toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
