Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1879 steps (so hopefully will've reached 2000 before Sunday ends XD); secondly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's "The Goal Of Christ's Love"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Dad, Bless Your Children!' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Contending For The Faith'. Anyways, events for today?
- Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Actually nature had already called once shortly before midnight but after one pot :P trip I'd slept soundly until 6:20am before waking again to relieve myself.
- After the morning pot :P trip I'd immediately tried falling back asleep before PIG mum started a-THUMPING around upstairs but fifty-odd breaths in, PIG mum went STOMP and I realised sleep wasn't gonna return this morning. Instead, 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*
- At 7am, PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and laying my tops out before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into the tops first then giving myself fifteen more minutes.
- 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's one small slice of the delicious cake I helped mother make last night; my current life motto: CAKE for BREAKFAST CAN'T BE WRONG!! :D XD I also pop all my usual drugs :P and drain one tall cup 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 sit first by the door, then second in the garage and then third on the bench outside the garage while waiting for PIG mu to move the car back up the driveway. But OMG, today she helped me buckle my seatbelt both ways! *faints* XD
At church, I hiked up the ramp, used the disabled loo once myself (the seat was up but so was the lid), wash and dry Era then grab my usual spot for service on the most left.
Score I get to stay seated for worship today! I sing everything, plus the harmony for four songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
Speaker today's Pastor Peter Pie with his second sermon from the series he started last week.
After service ended early, I use the normal female toilets (somehow, the disabled loo went outtta order after I used it this morning!) for one tinkle, washed and dried Era (since PIG mum was waiting outside) then hiked round the back and took a seat for morning tea, one packet of Arnott's bikkies and one plastic cup of milky (seemingly unsweetened even though PIG mum insists she added sugar) tea.
Since Chelsea was due @ 11am PIG mum hurried me home after I'd swallowed my final gulp of tea butt Chelsea was stuck on the highway and didn't arrive till 11:08~
She used her GPS to get us to Pinelands Plaza then I gave her directions to where Ho Lin Wah was. Amazingly, just when we rounded the corner, a car left the spot right outside the restaurant! Chelsea immediately indicated for the spot butt then got frustrated with the driver who wasn't good @ revering and repeated the action several times. Finally, she gave up, instead taking another spot across the corner. I didn't complain since 'twas still quite close but amazingly, after the parked car FINALLY left the spot just outside the restaurant, the car behind Chelsea gestured for her to take the spot, sweet!
Once inside I glanced @ the menu and recognised several words but asked the usual waitress for the menu anyway. XD The 'A' meal was curry chicken rice (must remember that the the word for 'plus' with 'mouth' to the left is the 'gar' (say that in Canto) for curry) but the 'B' was meat sauce (i.e. mincemeat) with fried egg; that's for me! I enjoyed that with a cold HK-style milk tea while Chelsea got a icy lychee drink but said 'twas too sweet. Since she was listening to her smartphone (Chelsea had brought along headphones) I enjoyed taking big full mouthfuls! I've asked Bing and dad's INCORRECT: it's FINE to eat with large full mouthfuls, just make sure you sit straight and don't choke
After Chelsea paid we left, she tootled me home and I took a nice hot (even though PIG mum already switched off the heat lamp) shower - hairwash today.
Dried, creamed and rekitted I plopped online then started reading today's Bible passages while Chelsea (her dad named her, thinking Chelsea a pretty name) blew dry my hair then cleaned the bathroom before saying bye and leaving like ten minutes early.
PIG mum's already nagged me about getting offline; @ 4:54pm I'll use the loo for one tinkle then sit @ the gobbling :P table, munch arvo tea and read Mr. Einstein's Secretary for one hour while munching the arvo tea PIG mum kindly left me before heading upstairs to pigland.
Hoping to watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 170TH time tonight!
Toms: PIG mum's helping me up, since I've a late morning appointment to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Wonder will she take me somewhere for lunch before Jacinta takes me to Breathe for physio @ 2pm? Presuming we'll buy groceries afterwards~
But hoping Jacinta will find where PIG mum's stashed the sweetener and make me TWO big mugs of white tea before she leaves @ 6pm and I watch the 6pm news for the 171ST time?
Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
