Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4200 steps (sweet; 2nd consecutive day I'm over four grand! ^^); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'How To Repay God'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Don't 'Assume' Your Children Are Okay" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Unashamed For Jesus'. Anyways, events for today?
- Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night!
Nature didn't call until 6:35am, 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* - Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before 9am, 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 give poor Elf a very brief rub since for the 2ND CONSECUTIVE DAY she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night.
- After PIG mum helps exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the tops (and by 'help' she only spreads it out for me) she leaves me alone to get myself mostly independently kited, 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 was one bowl of warmed healthy cereal with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with avocado and lightly 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 breakfast, Peggy slathers me with sunscreen and accompanies me back to the toilet before returning to the kitchen and washing up the breakfast dishes. Over the loo, 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 Auto (pronounced Alto) and Peggy tootles me off to Breathe for physio. Thanks to her who kindly helps me with my seatbelt all day.
- Since we arrive early (10:40am for an 11am appointment), we both play on our mobiles before heading inside @ 10:50am. I pass the hard level of Royal Match that Lorraine said I would!
- Physio today: 2.187km bike ride, 40! bar-assisted pushups. 40 steps for Erf, 40.v-bar cable rows for both hands. 40 leg extensions for Elf, 40 leg curls for Elf, eighteen crunches on floor and boxing!
- After one loo trip (CZ258 unlocks the female bathroom, and the second stall has an ambulant rail) Peggy tootles me off to Pinelands Plaza to get my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi. Unfortunately, all the disabled parks outside are Coles were taken and Peggy doesn't find a park until nearly Ho Lin Wah! But she got a trolley for us~
- Bahn mi bought and greetings exchanged with Aunty Nancy, I hike back to Auto and Peggy tootles us home.
- At home, I ring dad (he's shopping @
Bunnings) then take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. - Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
- Dried, creamed and rekitted lunch was my delicious crunchy pork bahn mi plus one yummy mug of white earl grey tea; pity Peggy couldn't find where sneaky PIG mum hid the sweetener. *sigh*
- Signed Peggy off with my thanks and byes @ 2pm; she's back same time next week~
- Used loo for one tinkle then popped online.
- Lorraine's taking me to Toastmasters tonight! I'm doing not only warm-up but table topics mater!
- Toms: presuming PIG mum will help me up, take me for walkies somewhere and come home for lunch before Tracey takes me to table tennis @ 2pm?
- She'll see me home and showered before leaving @
6:30pm; will haveta confirm with him toms but think Pastor Peter Pie will come pick me up for our GG group social @ church and Eden's gonna get me some Korean fried chicken with chips and even a bubble tea, maybe!!
<3 - Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
