Tuesday Post 445

 Good afternoon!  Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2423 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'We Wait, He Works'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Your Daily Bread' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Running For Jesus'. Anyways, events for today?

  •  Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:20am 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* 
  • Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P once again around 7:45am and once more just after 9am, shortly before PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
  • PIG mum comes back 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 and 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 two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix with 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*
  • When Bree announces her arrival @ 10am, PIG mum lets her in. She walks down the hallway calling out good morning out to me but since I've just stuffed my mouth full of Weet-Bix and can only reply with unintelligible sounds! Bree just laughs, replying, I know, you're eating breakfast. Swallow first." XD
  • After breakfast, Bree walks behind me back to the bathroom. 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 passenger seat of Bree's car. She kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt (as she does all day) and tootles me off to Breathe for physio. Since we're early, we both play with our mobiles until 10:40am before going in.
  • Physio today: 1.802 km bike ride, 36 assisted pull-ups, 36 rows for Ela, 36 hamstring curls for Elf and boxing!
  • After physio, Bree tootled me off to Pinelands Plaza and grabbed a trolley for us. We bought groceries from Coles and then we both bought a crunchy pork bahn mi for lunch from Aunty Nancy~
  • Back home, I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Bree who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was my delicious crunchy pork bahn mi with one cup of white tea. Pity that Bree still can't find any sugar/honey. XD Once Aunty Sally , PIG mum and some other aunty popped in briefly to say hi before waltzing out to the city, Bree asked me, anything else you want?  I tried asking for a spoonful of ice cream?  Bree actually went to the freezer and dug me out a spoonful of chocolate fudge ice cream!! :D
  • Lunch finished, I quickly used the loo  for one more tinkle before signing Bree off with my thanks and byes. She's back Thursday and taking me to book club!
  • Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day I'll use the loo once then sit @ the gobbling :P table and read for one hour. I've nearly finished The Golden Fool so thanks to Bree who found me a Phillipa Gregory book to continue reading with although book club's this Thursday!
  • Nisha's taking me to Toastmasters tonight! I won't be able to take many notes since I'm timekeeping~
  • Looking forward to bringing some dinner back from Maccas, never mind that Unhappy Meals were what I ate surely THREE DECADES ago!! *sigh*
  • Toms: Hope PIG mum helps me up and takes me out somewhere before Lena takes me to play table tennis @ 2:30pm~
  • She'll see me home and showered before leaving @ 6:30pm; I'm gonna watch the 6pm news for the 158TH time and wolf down dinner before dearest dad takes me to Peter Pie's place for GG Bible study.
  • Anyways, maybe bbl but if not, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
