Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1056 steps (ha, I'm just over one grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Suffering That Crushes Faith"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'What, Whose, Why, When?' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Better Country". Anyways, events for today?
- Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature had already called once fractionally before midnight but after one pot :P trip I snored happily until 7:45am before waking and relieving myself again.
- Following the first daylight pot :P trip I immediately did the exercises Winne taught me to prevent further back pain before 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 cuddled and snored; the next time nature called after another pot :P trip 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*
- Actually, Daddy Bear wasn't in bed with me last night! o_O I couldn't call upstairs for PIG mum to please find and give him back coz then she'd see Elf was still wearing her sock but Era tugged the sock off Elf first thing this morning. XD
- Around 9am PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs, which wakes me for one final pot :P trip. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo. When Louiza hasn't arrived by 9:45pm sharp she enters my room and snaps "Fifteen more minutes"; I immediately comply but reply I'm sure Louiza's just stuck in traffic; when she arrives tell her to help me up @ 9:45am.
- Sure enough, that's exactly what happens! Once I've counted down from 900, I swing myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle and announce that I'm hungry to Louiza. She's inside the bathroom @ that time and comes immediately; we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. After drinking one full mug of water, 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 head out to the gobbling :P table with Louiza. Breakfast's my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado, another full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and my first big mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey. After the parents leave for koala-viewing, I ask Louiza to please add a slice of cheese to the toast but obviously don't take another photo. XD Over and after breakfast I happily read for thirty minutes first up, reaching pg. 150 @ 10:16pm.
- While Louiza closes and locks windows, I use the loo for one more tinkle. After climbing into the passenger seat of her car she tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace and parks around the side before grabbing a trolley for us.
- We buy groceries from Coles and then my honey chicken sushi roll from The Sushi Creators. As we're nearing the store, the dude behind the counter looks up, sees and recognises me and just holds up one finger? I reply with a thumbs up; once I reach the counter he's already handing the packaged sushi to Louiza saying "$4.60." Louiza asks me, when did you order? I grin and mime back to her our silent conversation and she laughs. XD
- Back home I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Louiza who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
- Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey and the delicious air fryer tofu I cooked yesterday with Ari plus rice and lotsa vegetables!
- At 12:55pm I sat over the loo for two more tinkles then signed Louiza off with my thanks and byes; she's back next Thursday 9:30am till like 1:30pm and heading down to the Gold Coast tonight!
- Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day I'll use the loo then sit and read for a good long while; it's only Saturdays that I can spend a blessed three hours reading~
- Toms: just church, nothing special. Oh, the special thing's we're holding our own FIFA World Cup! Obviously I'm too disabled to play but will join the picnic lunch and Pastor Peter will gimme a lift there and drop me home afterwards~
- Righteo, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing Sunday ahead!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
