Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1868 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'When God Becomes 100% For Us'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Be Biblical; Be Bold!' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'A Path Forward'. Anyways, events for today?
- Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7am 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*
- At 8:05am PIG mum's daily noisy A-THUMPING around upstairs wakes me for another pot :P trip; soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Karina's arrival @ 8:15am.
- Suddenly, CODA calls! Michelle tells PIG mum that Karina's still coming but she's stuck in traffic.
- When Karina eventually arrives, I immediately use the pot :P for one more tinkle (Karina says there was a big crash around the Logan Rd. exit), we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who's already squirted some toothpaste for me.
- Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table, rousing @! Karina AGAIN for skipping breakfast! ><"
- For my breakfast I get one bowl of the yummier (so flaky) bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly smeared with some avocado and lightly sprinkled with some salt. 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* Also thanks to dearest dad/Karina who turns on Sunrise for my viewing pleasure~
- After breakfast, Karina accompanies 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 Karina's car and she tootles me off to the Garbo library for GCCW! Thanks to her who helps me buckle my seatbelt both ways~
- At the library, I use the disabled loo for one tinkle and then enter Meeting Room One. Karina sees me with everything before leaving to buy groceries for PIG mum.
- Nine attended today; Ku didn't arrive until the break! I told her she'd timed her entrance well; made it for morning tea! XD Thanks to Tammy who helped me to the bathroom (I managed fine by myself), thanks to Mary who got me some morning tea and thanks to Tammy who got me an extra bikkie when I saw she had one on her plate that I didn't have! Also, I was very impressed with Mary for remembering my nut allergy; today Stan made some kinda slice/biscuit for everyone to try during morning tea and Mary said, "Em, I've already asked Stan are there any nuts in his thing and he says no, so you're safe to eat this."
- But today Ken waffled until 11:55am when I raised my hand, politely interrupted and said um, there's only five minutes left; may I please share my homework yet? Ken said sure only while I was reading my piece out, he and Mary had already gotten up to clear away everyone's morning tea things! Hence why the meeting ended two minutes early. Oh, and homework for next meeting's 'write sth without the letter 'e'; I'm trying to think which symbol I could use to substitute 'e'? Before I left, Stan even gave me a stash of unripe green bananas!
- Karina took me once more to the loo and then tootled me home for my nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to her who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
- Dried, creamed and rekitted, I had some fried rice for lunch! It tasted too yummy to have been home-cooked ... yup, dad ate lunch earlier out and bought a serve for me!
- Lunch was washed down with one mug of powdered HK-style milk tea; thanks to PIG mum for remembering since I'd clean forgot! XD
- At 12:15pm I signed Karina off with my thanks and byes; she's not back again until next writers' group; must remember to check who's coming 4-6 next Thursday.
- Before plopping online, I used the loo for one tinkle. Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day, I'll use the loo for one tinkle then sit @ the gobbling :P table to read for one hour and wait for PIG mum to finish her long arvo nap, come downstairs and feed me some arvo tea.
- Hoping to watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 29TH time.
- Best of all, it's ice cream night tonight; like I say every week, a very little's better than none @ all!
- Toms: Peggy's minding me 9:30am till 2pm. Will remember to transfer back into bed after just one tinkle @ 9:45am since I don't like having to hit the sack again before twelve hours have passed since it makes me feel like I've wasted the day
- Wonder where PIG mum'll send us?
- Peggy will see me home and showered before leaving @ 2pm but I don't think Dorrie's coming to gimme OT toms arvo since isn't she finally becoming an Australian citizen after eighteen YEARS??
- WOW: usually I endure blasted physio multiple times weekly from the very first week of the year until the week of Christmas, but I didn't have UQ physio on Monday since they'd somehow overbooked me and then Tuesday, I was unavailable for physio since I was @ the P.A. for my MRI! Dare I hope for one blessed week WITHOUT any therapies??
- Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
