Saturday Post 330

 Good  evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2370 steps;  secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Fear That  Draws Us In'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Spiritual Pathways (2)'; fourthly, Our Daily  Bread's devotional topic's 'One Sure Thing' but  fifthly and way  most importantly, I'm   really still owed TWENTY-TWO MINUTES online when I  ring  Aunty Lai @ 9pm!! Meaning I'll mute the Westlife concert that I'm listening to  now  and keep surfing the net while we're talking. Anyways, events for today?

• Firstly, my final, final plodding total  for Friday's actually 2198 (ha, I'm over two grand XD) but I'm hardly gonna  blog about last night since the  silly Broncos just lost their SEVENTH STRAIGHT game! *cringe*
• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 8:00am 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*
• Daddy Bear  and I returned to happy  snorings, nature calling again  about one hour later. Afterwards, 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*
   Shortly  after  the 2nd pot :P trip 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 give poor Elf a very brief rub since she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night. That's alright; Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes last night and let her wear her sock to sleep last night but obviously peeled it off first thing this morning! XD
• Once PIG mum lets Jacinta inside @ 9:30am, Jacinta knocks, pushes opens the door and calls good morning.  When Daddy Bear nods a paw @ her she replies  I'll help you up in fifteen more minutes, okay?" Daddy Bear gives one more paw flop then imperiously flicks his paw @ Jacinta shoo! Jacinta snorts with amusement but wisely closes  the door and leaves us be, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
• After I've counted down 900 seconds I swing myself over to  the pot :P for one tinkle and announce "Jacinta,  I'm hungry ..." She comes, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth.  After drinking one tall 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 Jacinta, who tells me she had Cornflakes for breakfast this morning. Me, I get my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered)  toast with a thin coating of avocado and thanks to Jacinta who squeezed in a slice of cheese for me! I also drink  another tall cup of water, pop all  my usual drugs :P and enjoy my  first big mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey. Over and after breakfast I happily read for thirty minutes first up, finding the book title on page ninety-six, reaching pg. 100 @ 10:22am and finding the book title again on pg. 104. This book takes me two minutes to read through one page, BTW.
• After reading  for thirty minutes, I ask Jacinta to please gimme (face and both hands) some sunscreen then she walks behind me back to the bathroom before returning to the dining room to close and lock windows. After one tinkle I wash and dry Era then  climb into the passenger seat of Jacinta's car. She kindly helps me with my seatbelt (as she does all day) then she tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace and parks beside the ramp before grabbing  a trolley for us.
• First we  both buy groceries (PIG mum wants milk  and Jacinta grabs energy drinks (I like shopping with   carers since they lemme sit on the self-serve checkout machine) then I buy my arvo  tea honey  chicken  sushi  while she buys a kaarage bun for lunch from Sushi  Creators;  I teach her it's pronounced kaaraGE not kaaraGI. XD
• Back home I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also  thanks to Jacinta who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried,  creamed and rekitted, lunch is another bowl of that pasta  PIG mum recently boiled with a few slices of  delicious pork  and lotsa vegetables. Thanks to Jacinta who makes me two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 330

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've  been hard @ work plodding 1720 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Death Trap Called Covetousness'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Spiritual Pathways (1) and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Who's My Neighbour?' Anyways, events for today?

• Grr  idiot nature called around 12:45am  and denied me the chance to  start an awesome sleep streak! ><  Don't worry, 'twas a sound sleep apart from that. *sigh*
• Following 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 until PIG mum wakes me for another pot :P trip with her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside to await Fay's arrival. 
• When Fay hasn't arrived by 8:01am she immediately reenters my room and says fifteen more minutes. I comply, reminding her to please ring CODA on-call should she not have arrived by 8:10am.
• But phew, Fay arrives like eight minutes later; when PIG mum opens  the door for her she immediately apologies for being late; even toll roads get congestion!
• At 8:15am, Fay helps me up. I use the pot :P for three more tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to  the gobbling :P  table and brush teeth before sitting over the loo  for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I walk out to  the gobbling :P  table with Fay.
• Breakfast is  one bowl of plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and foor some  reason the PLATE (not the toast) very lightly sprinkled with salt (so I licked the plate clean afterwards XD), all my usual drugs :P  and 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* I also happily watched Sunrise; I'd asked Fay to please turn channel seven on for me, only for PIG mum to immediately chirp, "I'll do it!" Unsure why she only ever does it when there's a carer present; she's ALWAYS REFUSED when it's just us two @ home! Perhaps she's just trying to show the carer what a 'good' mother she is? XD
• Breakfast finished, I asked  Faye to please gimme (my face and both hands) some sunscreen before she walked behind me back to  the loo then returned to the kitchen and washed the breakfast dishes. 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 I climb into the backseat of Fay's car and she tootles me off to the  NAB for physio. We have a smooth run along the highway but then get stuck along Coronation Drive? Arrival time @ UQ was 9:58am but I needed to use  the loo before heading inside hence why I didn't sit inside the waiting room but hiked straight into  the NAB. Along the hallway a male forty-one year old student met me and was followed by Sarah. 
• Physio today: Thirty barefoot Elf sit-to-stands with left  and forward weightshift, fifty steps for  Erf onto first stair block with three second hold and more left and forward weightshift, lying on right side on plinth and kicking Elf towards wall, two laps short hallway walking and ten laps long hallway walking.
• Lol when Fay doesn't pick me up @ 12:10pm I ring CODA; turns out she's down near the lifts! I immediately ring back and reassure someone that I've been collected; lol, I'm using the toilet when Staffing Options rings Fay to ask where she is! XD
• After sitting once more over the loo for two tinkles Fay tootles me home and I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Fay who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. While I  shower, Fay tells me that she's  twenty-eight, from Sudan and already has a son doing prep! She's a single mum and her parents look after the boy when she's working.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, PIG mum's cooked some delicious pork for lunch! With the rice there's also lotsa lettuce and lotsa soup carrot. Lunch gets washed down  with one huge mug of herbal tea; @ 2pm I say my thanks and byes to Fay and sit over the loo for two tinkles.
• When I  come out, Ari's already arrived and Ela does one hour of unfunctional exercises with her. We end with playing two/three rounds of Spot It!
• After sitting over the loo for one tinkle I have some fruit, one plain cracker and drink another huge mug of herbal  tea.
• Arvo tea finished, I use the loo for one tinkle, read the day's Bible passages then plop online for myself.
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for  the ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTIETH time!
• Wolfing dinner down immediately afterwards and skipping soup; plan to sit on the sofa come 7:30pm and watching the Broncos play the Roosters!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^
