Thursday Post 610

 Good afternoon! Firstly, I'm logging in today's plodding total @ 3526 (ha, I'm just over 3.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'How To Fight Anxiety'; thirdly, Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday's actually 5134 (ooh, 2nd consecutive day I'm more than half a normal person; that's rare!); fourthly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's 'Fences'; fifthly, TWFT topic's 'The Bible Helps Us To Overcome Temptation (1) and sixthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Lamenting To God'. Anyways, let's start with yesterday's events first, just briefly!

•  Bought groceries with PIG mum @ the Warrigal Square Woolies (hiked every aisle), came home for lunch then played table tennis; apparently there's cake next week! :D
• Peter Pie and Yu Lam came @ 6:45pm and gave me a lift to church for our combined GG social! Arrived early so just sat outside and waited for Dr. Lee's arrival since he's got the keys.
• Eden brought me Momo's (honey soy-flavoured) Korean fried chicken for dinner! Luckily PIG mum cooked fried rice for lunch else I'd be fretting right now. XED
• Vivian accompanied me once to the loo then helped me make my keyring! I Googled for a Stuart picture, she traced it, outline where needed colouring, I did the colouring then Dr. Lee took it to the kitchen oven to bake, threaded a keychain to the top and even attached it to my bag for me!
• When people started packing up, I scooted my chair over to the windowsill and was ready to get going when Peter Pie asked me, are you ready to head?
• Yu Lam accompanied me back to the car and patiently waited while I fumbled around with the seatbelt (done by feel and hearing since I've got crappy night vision) and then Peter Pie dropped me home.
• Repeat the usual nightly events and zzz~
• Today's events: yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:50am and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since I knew PIG mum would get very noisy one hour later!
• Like clockwork, noisy PIG mum beginning her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs wakes me for another pot :P trip, after which 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*
• PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Karina's arrival @ 8am.
• After she lets Karina inside, Karina knocks, pushes open the door and goes good morning, Emily. When I flop Daddy Bear's paw @ her, she next announces "Hitting the snooze button for fifteen more minutes ..." Another paw flop from Daddy Bear and she thankfully removes herself, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum.  XD
• When Karina returns, I use the pot :P for three more tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who's already squirted some toothpaste for me.
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table with Karina, rousing @ her for AGAIN skipping breakfast and ordering her to buy sth to eat after buying groceries for PIG mum while I'm attending GCCW.
• For my breakfast, I slurp one warmed bowl of healthy cereal (but told mother from toms normal's fine since it's getting hot again) with one slice of toast lightly spread with butter/margarine and strawberry jam, since the avocadoes still haven't ripened/softened yet. I also pop all my usual drugs :P and drain one tall cup of water. Thanks to Karina who's turned on Sunrise for my viewing pleasure. 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, Karina accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing up the breakfast things. Over the loo proper, 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!
• Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Attended GCCW, which was held in Meeting Room Two today. 
• Eight were present (one new), Tammy helped me once to the bathroom @ morning tea break and Mary brought pikelets (buttered and jammed; I got three!)  and salty popcorn for morning tea!
• Got home and took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Karina who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was one bowl of rice leftovers; thanks to PIG mum who remembered to gimme a cup of powdered instant HK-milk tea.
• Signed Karina off with my thanks and byes @ 1:30pm.
• Used loo for one tinkle then plopped online.
• Less than ten minutes left, so super-briefly: Benadine's taking me to book club tonight!
• Tonight's also ice cream night!
• Toms: will ring Michelle after I get offline and ask her who's helping me up @ 8am toms, taking me to the NAB for physio with Lachlan for two hours before seeing me home and showered.
• Syn's giving Ela one  hour of unfunctional exercises toms arvo.
• Anyways, hopefully bbl  tonight, else wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
