Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3685 steps (ha, I'm over 3.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "Saving Faith Isn't Easily Satisfied"; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Blessing's Progressive" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'God Runs After Us'. Anyways, events for today?
- Yay, for the first time in three days, 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* Also woke with pretty bad DOMS this morning, but that's expected after doing eighty lunges yesterday @ physio! XD
- Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before noisy 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 help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the brastrap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
- 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 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 very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P with one slice of toast spread with avocado and sprinkled with salt, 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 Olivia arrives @ 10am, PIG mum gives her the shopping list, cash and keys before leaving for her Pilates class. While I finish breakfast, Olivia sits beside me and we just catchup. She's turning twenty-one this year and starting sonography @ uni but her partner's heaps older than her: he's thirty-eight!
- After breakfast, Olivia slathers me with sunscreen and then 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 Olivia's car and she tootles me off to Breathe for physio. Thanks to Olivia who kindly helps me with my seatbelt all day.
- We arrive @ least twenty minutes early but head inside and enjoy the air con~ Winnie summons me precisely @ 11am.
- Physio today: 2.159km bike ride, 36 leg-assisted pull-ups, 36 v-cable rows with both hands, 36 leg extensions for, 36 leg pulls for Elf, tennis ball throwing and catching for Era and boxing!
- After one more toilet trip (CZ258 gets you into the female toilets; the last stall's an ambulant cubicle) Olivia tootles me over to Pinelands Plaza. Unfortunately, there wasn't any disabled parking available; indeed, she couldn't find any park until about midway down the line of shops! >< *sigh* But she grabbed a trolley for us and first we bought groceries for PIG mum and then we both got a crunchy pork bahn mi from Aunty Nancy @ Pinelands Bakehouse. 'Twas Olivia's first time to try a pork salad roll and she's a convert! ;)
- Back home I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Olivia who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
- After getting dried, creamed and rekitted lunch was my delicious bahn mi plus one small cup of yummy vanilla chai. Olivia cleaned the bathroom and then I signed her off with my thanks and byes @ 2pm. She's back in twenty-four hours' time and taking me to table tennis!
- Once I finished lunch I took the cup over to the sink, used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
- Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day, I'll use the loo for one tinkle and then sit @ the gobbling :P table to read for one hour before Nisha takes me to Toastmasters @ 5:30pm! Which reminds me: I'm Table Topics Master tonight; better get my questions ready!
- Toms: exciting day! Olivia's taking me to table tennis @ 2pm (there's gonna be CAKE! :D <3) and then toms night we're having our opening GG social; not only will I get Korean fried chicken with rice for dinner, but Dr. Lee has also found somewhere that serves shaved ice!! :D
- Hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
