Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 5474 steps (am more than half a normal person today and will have cracked 5500 before today ends meaning I can record the number in my Larger Totals file, cool! XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Do Not Harden Your Heart'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Speak 'Life (1)'" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Waiting For God'. Anyways, events for today?
- Nature called once around 12:30am (I prolly had too much fun yesterday XD); after another pot :P trip following the Sun's rising 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*
- Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P around 9am. Around 9:25am, dearest dad lets himself into my room to kiss me good morning and gimme some eye goo.
- After dearest dad lets Jane in, Jane knocks, pushes the door open and calls good morning. When I nod Mini Pearl @ her, she says I'll come help you up in fifteen minutes, okay?" Mini Pearl nods again and she thankfully removes herself; phew, since Mini Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
- When Jane returns, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth, before sitting over the loo for one tinkle, washing and drying Era and then heading out to the gobbling :P table with Jane, who tells me that she had a breakfast smoothie for her morning meal today.
- Huh, how come dad didn't tell Jane I get Weet-Bix for breakfast when I've got physio and not just bird food? But Jane made me one big mug of white tea too; the only pity was that dad hadn't told her where she'd hidden the sugar/honey! >< *sigh* 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, Jane smothers my face and both hands with sunscreen, accompanies me back to the bathroom then returns to the kitchen and washed up the breakfast stuff. 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!

After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Jane's car, and she tootles me off to see Winnie for physio. Thanks to Jane who kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt all day/
Physio today: Twenty laps room walking, 2.864km bike ride, 40 bar-assisted pushups, 40 steps for Erf with left weight shift ,36 v-cable rows for both hands, 40 leg curls for Elf, 40 leg extensions for Elf, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing! Plus nine minutes of massage with the theragun. I'm just getting stressed since I'm already @ 95.5hrs of physio today and willm prolly exceed 100 hours before the year finishes! >< *sigh*
After we both used the bathroom (CZ258 unlocks the ladies' bathroom and the second cubicle's an ambulant one; I used that while Jane used the normal one besides me), Jane tootled us off to the Rochedale Coles, grabbed us a trolley then we bought groceries before heading home.
Took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Jane 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 yummy bowl of fried rice leftovers (thanks to Jane who added some oyster sauce for me) plus another big mug of white tea without sweetener.
Before I used the loo once more for two tinkles @ 1:55pm, dad suddenly rang and said Dorrie can't come since she's sick! o_O Hence why Jane helped me remove the bra when I sat once more over the loo before I signed her off with my thanks and byes @ 2pm. She's back next Wednesday, morning and afternoon!
Once she left, some guy rang from My Rehab Team saying Dorrie will rebook a session after she's better. I've already told PIG mum and dearest dad's home~
Once I've used up the most important two hours of the day I'll use the loo for one tinkle, sit @ the gobbling :P table and start reading the new book club novel for one hour! Jane already helped me find the book this arvo~
Toms: Sharon's minding me from 7:30am till 5pm; she's taking me to attend and compete in some Toastmasters conference! Obviously, I'll not win; I've only gotta speak for 1-2 minutes! Mostly I'm just looking forward to lunch @ the Story Bridge Hotel; the last time I enjoyed a proper meal out was Wednesday! (Not two days ago but one WEEK and two days ago)
But expect a super-pissy plodding total from me, since I'm expecting I'll be using Sparkless3 and obviously won't have time to play table tennis @ church with dearest dad~
Ooh, but since Sharon leaves @ 5pm, hopefully I can watch the 6pm news for the 225TH time!
Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
