Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1369 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Who Killed Jesus?'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Pray For A Revelation Of God's Love (3)" and thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Serving Side By Side'. Anyways, events for today?
- Nature called once last night around 1:30am; following another pot :P trip around 6:45am I immediately fell back asleep since I knew PIG mum would get very noisy shortly around 7am!
- Actually I fell back asleep that deeply that I didn't wake until PIG mum let herself into my room and hit me with the eye goo! She then helped exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and laying out the tee before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted; I comply with that after immediately struggling into the tee plus jumper, giving myself fifteen more minutes and using the pot :P for one more tinkle first. Whilst complying, 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 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 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 is one bowl of plain porridge, 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 PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I've done all day). PIG mum tootles us off to church and parks near the end. I hike up the ramp, use the disabled loo once myself for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then grab my usual spot for service on the most left.
- Yay, I get to stay seated for service today. I sing everything, plus the harmony for four songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
- Speaker today was Tyvus with another sermon from the Apostles' Creed series, This I Believe. Huge thanks to Pastor Peter Pie who Whatsapped me a copy so I can remain seated to read it whilst everyone else stands.
- Service ended sixteen minutes early; after PIG mum collected me, I used the 2bd/3rd cubicle of the normal female toilet (since the disabled's lid was closed and the first cubicle like occupied), washed and dried both hands then hiked around to the back for morning tea, where dad already had a packet of Arnott's biscuits and one soft plastic cup of sugarless white tea for me.
- Uncle Simon wandered over for a chat! Turns out he's getting coached by this female Chinese player who's actually some high-ranking fancy coach where I play every Wednesday @ Brisbane Table Tennis!
- Everyone else had lunch @ MuiG @ Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown but dad made me eat Hungry Jack's with him @ Hungry Jack's while PIG mum was enjoying her coffee and gossip social with all her aunty friends. Alas it's been FIVE WEEKS since I last enjoyed a proper lunch out. *sigh* Today I munched one beef cheeseburger (but the Hungry Jack's ones are yucky since they contain mustard) ten/eleven short chips, like half the orange juice, several sips of the disgusting free coffee and two/three chomps of the mini Drumstick dad shook with his Hungry Jack's app!
- Back home, I used the loo for one more tinkle, washed and dried Era 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.
- Unsure where dinner's tonight but it'll prolly mark ONE whole WEEK since I've enjoyed a proper dinner out. *sigh*
- Toms: PIG mum'll help me up, since I've got a late morning appointment to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Bet she's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him. XD
- We'll come straight home for lunch with dearest dad afterwards; PIG mum says I'll buy groceries with Jacinta after she takes me to Breathe for physio. Ugh, last session was my 50TH hour of physio; also hope Winnie can help my sore back ... *sigh*
- Jacinta will see me home and showered before leaving @ 6pm; I'm hoping to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 117TH time, provided I can watch it for the 116TH time tonight!
- Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
