Good evening again! Take two: firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3198 steps (ha, I'm over three grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's '7 Reasons Not To Worry Part 3'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Pray Boldly (4)'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The God Who Helps' and fifthly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Secret Of Strong Faith' butt fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY MINUTES online after I use the loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm!! Anyways, events for today?
- Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! I'm not too surprised: I was totally KNACKERED after hiking 3km of the 5km Bridge To Brisbane event yesterday! Nature didn't call until 8am 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* Actually, after getting up, I went OW coz EEP, I hurt EVERYWHERE!! >< Luckily nothing to worry about; just DOMS~
- The next time nature called was just before PIG mum began her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs, shortly after she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and laying out the tops before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into the tops then giving myself fifteen more minutes before getting myself mostly independently kitted. QThat done, I bang the wall and ask PIG mum to please help finish with Elf's AFO straps and both laces; it's nearly 9:45am and if I'm already back in bed before twelve hours have passed I'll feel that I've wasted the entire day! >< Still, PIG mum deliberate takes her time meaning it's like just after 9:50am before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. *sigh*
- Teeth brushed, 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 was one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully very 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 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 she tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Obviously, I buckle my seatbelt both ways and we also listen to the radio (97.3FM) after PIG mum's Spotify lets her listen to two Chinese songs before quitting work for the day. XD
- At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle then lie down for some acupuncture and massage. When I share with Ray that yesterday I hiked 3km of the 5km Bridge To Brisbane event, Ray replied, oh, that's why your calf's really tight this morning! PIG mum was obviously in her element yapping unceasingly @ Ray; my grateful thanks to him who always replied and kept a conversation flowing. Mostly I'm grateful coz PIG mum rang the NAB and cancelled Tuesday's physio session for me! Luckily I've not injured myself but DOMS really sucks; sitting here I'm just gently throbbing away! ><"
- After one more tinkle, PIG mum tootles me home and I sit @ the gobbling :P table browsing for a movie that Peggy and I can watch after bahn mi buying toms since she's with me till 4pm but I'm not attending the NAB.
- For lunch, PIG mum cooked surprisingly tasty fried rice! Since she was already tired enough to sit by herself on the TV and watch YouTube, I left Ela in my lap, happily propped both feet up and ate big full happy mouthfuls!
- Lunch was washed down with one huge mug of delicious Chinese and then I started reading today's Bible passages before sitting over the loo once more for two tinkles @ 1:55pm then sitting by the door waiting for the new carer.
Cheers,
Em. ^^
