But I had an awesome sleep last night (bid Daddy Bear sweet dreams, fell asleep and didn't wake until 7:35am then saw Peter for the first fitting for my new AFO! Came home and had two minute noodles for lunch then Jane's taking me to table tennis; fingers crossed for leftover cake! Main excitement: tonight's ORIGIN TWO; the might Maroons MUST win to keep the series alive!! Toms pending good weather Jacinta will take me for a hike around Underwood Park and then we'll buy groceries before coming home for personal care and lunch. Best of all it's ice cream night toms night; like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all! Anyways, hope everyone's having a smashing week!

Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2544 steps (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD); steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Honeymoon That Never Ends'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'You Can Outgrow The Problem!'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Way Of Holiness' and fourthly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Keep Your Grip On The Truth'. Anyways, events for today?
- Grr after enduring physio I thought I deserved an awesome sleep last night, but nature randomly called @ 12:45am! >< Never mind, 'twas still a sound sleep apart from that. *sigh* Mostly I'm just grateful Winnie treated my sore back and I'm feeling much better today~
- After the first daylight 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 again for the pot :P when dearest dad comes and kisses me bye before going to get his shingles vaccine! I told him to be careful~
- More happy snoring for Daddy Bear and I, nature calling when PIG mum wakes me once more for the pot :P around 9am with her daily noisy a-THUMPING around. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before returning outside and awaiting Peggy's arrival @ 9:30am.
- After PIG mum lets Peggy inside, Peggy knocks, opens the door and announces "Good morning." When Daddy Bear flops his paw good morning back @ her, she next states "Fifteen more minutes." Daddy Bear gives one more paw nod then imperiously flicks his paw 'shoo!' @ her! Peggy smirks but wisely withdraws, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
- Once I've counted down from 900 I swing myself over to the pot :P and announce "POeggy, I'm hungry." She's inside the bathroom and comes over immediately; we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy for squirting some toothpaste for me.
- After sitting over the loo for one tinkle then washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Peggy, who says that she had her two usual eggs for breakfast.
- Me, I'm FINALLY expecting a slice of toast since I've got physio for two hours but it's STILL one bowl of plain porridge, argh! >< I also pop all my usual drugs :P and drain 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*
- Breakfast finished, Peggy covers my face and both hands with sunscreen before accompanying me back to the bathroom then returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast stuff up. 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, Peggy tootles us off to Coles Pinelands and grabs a trolley for us. We both buy groceries and visit Vicki @ the checkout~
- Back home I used the loo for one tinkle then sat down and enjoyed my delicious crunchy pork salad roll for lunch. Also yay that Peggy found where sneaky PIG mum hid the sugar and made me one big mug of Earl grey tea with two teaspoonfuls of sugar!
- At 12:15pm I climbed back into the car and Peggy tootled me off to the NAB.
- Sarah's from Persia and only twenty-six; plus, Mrs. Hoppie's working today and showed me this ADORABLE photo of her new grandbaby!
- Physio today:Barefoot exercises moving ankle,, stepping for both feet with lots of left weight shift eight laps long hallway walking and four laps around the clinic stepping over flat cones doing an obstacle course.
Cheers,
Em. ^^

- Bought groceries with Jacinta @ the Sunny Park Woolies; stopped for a soft serve, three nuggets and a few chips from Maccas then got home for a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Jacinta who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for tonight now stands @ 3311 but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, events for today?
- Yay, awesome sleep last night! Sure, dad woke me when he opened the garage door slightly before sunrise and left to get a blood test but I asked my bladder can you please fall back asleep? I wanna start the week with an awesome sleep last night. The bladder goes okay and I happily resume happy snorings with Daddy Bear until 7:45am~
- After the first daylight 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 around 9am, just before 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 help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra shirt and spreading out the tee before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into the tee and jumper first before giving myself fifteen more minutes.
- PIG mum comes back and finishes 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. Since I had physio later I'd expected one slice of toast too, but horrid PIG mum refused saying I didn't have physio until the afternoon! Huh, then she'd better gimme toast toms!~ *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 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. She tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage.
- At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then lie down for some acupuncture. PIG mum's in her element yapping ceaselessly @ Ray (today she was so excited @ her yapping opportunity she repeated one syllable seven/eight times before continuing XD); my grateful thanks to Ray who always kept a conversation (mostly PIG mum one-sided XD) going~
Cheers,
Em. ^^
