Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4458 steps (sweet I'm over four grand already; that doesn't happen too often! XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Jesus Died For This Moment'; thirdly, TWFT topic's last night's 'How To Build Your Self-Esteem' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Own" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-FIVE MINUTES online after I watch the Broncos play tonight!! Anyways, events for today?
- Woo hoo, 18TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:30am 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*
- Um, why have my bullet points become invisible? o_O XD
- Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, noisy PIG mum's daily a-THUMPING around upstairs my wakeup call to use the pot :P again. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before returning outside and waiting for Peggy's arrival.
- Once PIG mum lets Peggy inside @ 9:30am, Peggy knocks, pushes the door open and announces, "Good morning." When I wave Pearl @ her, she next states "Fifteen more minutes. Luckily, she wisely removes herself after another nod from Pearl; phew, since Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
- When Peggy returns, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle and then we get me kitted, before I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who's squirted me some toothpaste.
- Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Peggy, who told me that she had her two usual fried eggs for breakfast.
- For my breakfast, I had two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast amazingly THICKLY spread with avocado and sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. When I asked PIG mum please for another slice of birthday cake she replied it's already all gone! Then she/dad must've stolen some: I only had three small slices and she cut one slice for one carer once! >< *sigh* 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*
- After breakfast, Peggy accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning to wash up dishes, close and lock windows, etc. 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 backseat of Auto (pronounced Alto) and Peggy tootles me off to Breathe for physio. Thanks to her who helped me buckle my seatbelt all day.
- Physio today: 1.875km bike ride, 36 leg-assisted pull-ups, 36 steps for Erf, 36 v-cable rows for both hands, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing!
- After one loo trip (CZ258 unlocks the female toilets and the second cubicle has rails), Peggy tootles me back to Warrigal Square and grabs a trolley for us. Unfortunately, all the parking spots were taken, and she didn't find a free one until the *end*! >< *sigh*
- Not only that, but they also didn't have any BBQ chooks available! A note said there was a problem with supply; instead, they had like boxes of sweet and sour drumsticks!
- Back home, I showered my quickest - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
- Dried, creamed and rekitted, for lunch Peggy made me a salmon with tomato and onion toastie with TWO cheese, HEAVILY buttered on the inside and one huge mug of delicious vanilla chai sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar, yum! The poor salmon was so terrified of being eaten it tried leaping from the sandwich, but since I remembered to lean forward while eating, all the salmon pieces only fell onto the plate and I Peggy to please gimme a spoon and scooped up all the runaway fish. XD
- At 2pm, I signed Peggy off with my thanks and byes. She's not back next Friday even though the roster says it's her; will email Michelle and find out who's coming.
Cheers,
Em. ^^
