Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1506 steps (ha, I'm just over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'God Forgives, And Is Still Just'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Money: How You Get It, And Give It' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Living Out God's Love". Anyways, events for today?
- Yay, what better way to start the weekend then with my second consecutive awesome sleep last night? Nature didn't call until 6:45am 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 happily cuddle and snore; the next time nature calls again following another pot :P trip 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*
- More cuddling and snoring from Daddy Bear and me; PIG mum's daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs my wakeup call to use the pot :P once more. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor Elf's ankle a very brief rub since she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night. That's alright, Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes and let her wear her sock to sleep last night but obviously peeled the sock off first thing this morning! XD
- Since Louiza didn't arrive @ 9:45am, PIG mum immediately gave me fifteen more minutes. I immediately comply telling mother I'm sure Louiza's just stuck in traffic so tell her to get me up @ 9:45am after she comes. Sure enough, that's exactly what happens! XD
- Once I've counted down from 900 I announce that I'm hungry to Louiza and swing myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle. She's inside the bathroom and immediately comes; we get me kitted and yup, she confirms that she was late since she was stuck in traffic along the Ipswich motorway.
- I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth, before drinking one tall cup of water then sitting 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 Louiza. Breakfast's my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado, another full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and my first big mug of white tea sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar. Over and after breakfast I happily read A Fortunate Life for thirty minutes first up!
- Reading finished, I ask Louiza please to gimme (face and both hands) some sunscreen then she walks behind me back to the loo before going and washing the breakfast dishes up.
- After sitting over the loo for one tinkle, I climb into the passenger seat of Louiza's car and she tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace, parking around the side and grabbing a trolley for us.
- First we buy groceries from Woolies. Like I've said, I don't mind shopping with carers since they lemme sit on the self-serve checkout machine. Wonder why the parents won't?
- We're walking towards Sushi Creators when the guy behind the counter looks up, sees me coming and raises a finger in the air? I reply with a thumbs up; by the time we reach the counter he's already packaged my sushi and hands it to Louiza, going "Four dollars." Louiza looks @ me, asking have you ordered yet? I mime our little conversation; she laughs and pays the guy. XD
- Back home, I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Louiza who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. At 12:25pm I asked Louiza to please massage Ela but she dithered around washing dishes before very gently massaging he for like ten minutes.
- At 12:55pm I sat over the loo once more for two tinkles then signed Louiza off with my thanks and byes. She's back next Thursday 9:30am till 1pm/thereabouts.
- Instead of reading all arvo to reach three hours I'm gonna pen a long letter to Dr. Dr. Tai; she turned FIFTY like eight days ago hence why I bought her a proper '50' card today!
- Have reminded the parents to gimme dinner @ 6pm while I'm watching the news coz the Broncos are playing @ 7!
- Toms: just church, nothing special. Resigned to a bite of lunch with dad @ Hungry Jack's then a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum. *sigh*But should the Broncos win tonight; I'm definitely reading match report after match report toms arvo and basking in their glory! XD
- Anyways, hopefully bbl, else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
