Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3936 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Sweet Designs Of God'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Everybody Has A Thorn (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'No Fake Ratings'. Anyways, events for today?
- Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, 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* I also noted that my monthlies had arrived and reminded myself to tell PIG mum immediately when she let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo around 9am; the only time I'd called out before dad had appeared and that had been really embarrassing! XD
- Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am, just before PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. When she lets herself into my room I remember to tell her immediately that my monthlies have arrived, but I've forgotten did she check the pot :P before going to get a pad for me.
- After hitting me with the eye goo and helping me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap, PIG mum leaves me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
- PIG mum returns to help 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 then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling: P table for breakfast, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
- Breakfast is one bowl of the yummier (so flaky) bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very thinly spread with avocado and for some reason, the PLATE (not the toast?) 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*
- PIG mum lets Olivia inside when she announces her arrival; Olivia proudly showed me her new handbag that she got from her partner for her birthday; it's worth THOUSANDS of dollars!
- Breakfast finished, Olivia smears my face with sunscreen and then walks behind me back to the bathroom before going back to the kitchen and washing up my breakfast dishes. 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. Thanks to her who helps me buckle my seatbelt (as she kindly does all day) and then she tootles me off to Breathe for physio.
- Physio today: 2.015km bike ride, 36 assisted pull-ups, 36 v-bar rows, 36 leg curls for Elf, 36 leg extensions for Elf, tennis ball throwing and catching for Era and boxing!
- Afterone loo trip (Olivia used the cubicle beside me), she tootled us off to Pinelands Plaza and grabbed a trolley for us.
- After buying groceries from Coles we both bought a crunchy pork bahn mi from Aunty Nancy for lunch, but Olivia was hungry and wolfed hers down while we were still in the car! Also, I bumped into Clara! Her parents were for some reason walking ahead but I waved @ their backs. XD
- 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.
- DFried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was my delicious crunchy pork salad roll plus one delicious mug of vanilla chai, although unfortunately Olivia couldn't find where sneaky PIG mum had hidden the sweetener. *sigh*
- At 2pm I signed her off with my thanks and byes; she's not back until next Tuesday so wonder who's taking me to ping pong toms arvo?
- After 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 two most important hours of the day I'll use the loo for one tinkle, sit @ the gobbling :P table and read Grass For His Pillow for one hour and then hopefully watch the 6pm news (Seven's) for the 32ND time!
- Toms: hope PIG mum helps me up latest shortly after 9am and takes me grocery shopping somewhere, Mel's not coming till 2pm and taking me to play table tennis.
- But apparently there's gonna be CAKE; Olivia gave me her mobile so I can gloat @ her should I get cake toms. XD
- Mel will see me home and showered before leaving @ 6:30pm; hopefully I'll get to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 33RD time and wolf down dinner after Mel leaves since Kwany's taking me to Dr. Lee's for our first GG Bible study for 2025!
- Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
