Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3641 steps (ha, I'm over 3.5 grand XD); secondly, John piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Grace For The New Year'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Importance Of Being Alone With God' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Promise Beyond The Ruins'. Anyways, events for today?
- Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Even better than yesterday, nature didn't call until 7:50am, 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 again for the pot :P about one hour later, just before noisy 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 absolutely nothing but 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 to brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then walk myself slowly and safely out too the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
- Breakfast was one bowl of the less-yummy 9so sticky) bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD), with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with 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*
- After breakfast I walk myself slowly and safely back to the bathroom, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 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 backseat of dad's car and buckle my own seatbelt. PIG mum's already left for swimming, but dearest dad and I are going to Garbo to get my glasses fixed and buy groceries from Woolies~
- Unfortunately all the disabled parks were taken @ Garbo and dad couldn't be bothered trying the other two levels for free spaces and just parked further away but I felt relieved when he immediately got a trolley for us, not just when we bought groceries from Coles.
- Rico was @ work today! I bid him happy 2025 then sat down and gave him my glasses, explaining that one screw was loose and somehow they'd become crooked? Rico took them away for fixing while dad and I sat and waited.
- When Ricoo came back with my fixed specs, I asked him how old's his daughter now; Rico told me, grade five. Wow, that's high school next year! I also asked him how come his name badge said Store Leader; last year, his badge read Team Leader and the year before that, Manager! Rico roared with laughter, saying the names keep getting changed but the role's the same.
- After getting my specs fixed, dad and I bought groceries from Coles. I'll always be more loyal to Woolies since Woolies was my first job before IU suffered the brain injury, but Coles now has the self-serve checkout with a conveyor belt; Woolies doesn't have that yet!
- Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle and then sat @ the gobbling :P table to wait for lunch and happily play the HP version of Bejeweled, since 'twas already past midday.
- For lunch today we had tasteless (the flavour packet was chilli) with lotsa veggies and a little meat.
- Lunch was washed down with some yucky mug of ginger tea/infusion; after taking the cup to the sink, I used the loo for one more 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.
- Karina's minding me from 4-6pm today. Should I ask her to please get the new Matthew Reilly novel I bought for me/just play the HP version of Bejeweled?
- Deb's minding me 9:30am till 2pm; we're just buying groceries from Warrigal Square Woolies and then I'm coming home for a shower since Fiona and bubs are coming with takeaway for lunch @ midday! It's only a quick lunch though; they've gotta leave @ 2pm since Fiona's got a Chinese herbalist doctor appointment for acupuncture and cupping @ 3pm. Still, I'm excited for Korean fried chicken and bubble tea. XD
- Planning to spend my most important two hours online for the day, read for one hour and then watch the 6pm news for the 2nd time tonight! Oh, that's provided I can watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 1st time this year tonight~
- Anyways, hopefully bbl after Karina leaves, else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
