Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4334 steps (sweet I'm already over four grand; that doesn't happen too often! XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic's "When The Potter's For Us"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'See Yourself As Valuable (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'A New Heart In Christ'. Anyways, events for today?
- Woo hoo, 10TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! (But where have my dot points gone??) Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 7:20am, 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 for one more pot :P trip around 9am, just before noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before returning back outside and awaiting Olivia's arrival.
- After PIG mum lets Olivia in, she teaches Olivia to knock, open the door and gimme fifteen more minutes. When Olivia does so, I wave Cowpig @ her and Olivia recognises her as a Squishmallow but only sees the cow part; when she comes back inside fifteen minutes later, I point @ the snout and make sure Olivia sees the pig part too. XD
- I use the pot :P for three more tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over and brush teeth before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and head out to the gobbling :P table with Olivia.
- CAKE FOR BREAKFAST can't be wrong!! :D Rosanna made three chunks of cheesecake and apparently told mum that there was one for me, one for her and one for dearest dad? 'Twas delicious! I also drank one full mug of water, ate one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt, popped all my usual drugs :P and slurped one bowl of yummy special K very lightly sprinkled with some Minus. :P 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, Olivia 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, Olivia tootles me off to Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown for my first shopping trip in AGES! See, my fortnightly shopping trips have been cancelled but GCCW's been cancelled today since the library/somewhere nearby's been flooded! o_O
- Clever Olivia does a side park along level two near the library and grabs a trolley for us. I've forgotten did we buy anything from ALDI but we definitely bought groceries from both Woolies and Coles.
- My first official birthday lunch out: the B meal (fried chicken drumstick with rice) and a cold HK-style milk tea coffee from Ho Lin Wah while Olivia had a sweet and sour pork with rice! :D
- Back home, I rang dad and then 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.
- Dried, creamed and rekitted, Olivia made me a toasted salmon with tomato and onion toastir with TWO cheese buttered on the inside plus one huge mug of English breakfast tea although she unfortunately couldn't find any sweetener.
- At 1:10pm, I sat over the loo once more for two tinkles before signing Olivia off with my thanks and byes @ 1:15pm. She's back this Saturday and taking me to the Toastmasters thing; apparently, I'm speaking?!
- 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 and wait for arvo tea.
- Excitement: official birthday celebrations begin tonight: someone's taking me to the Springwood Tower hotel Chinese restaurant for book club and dinner with all the other ladies to kickoff my birthday celebrations!! :D
- Toms: Peggy's minding me 9:30am till 2pm. Alas I believe I'm resuming physio. *sigh*
- Prolly have OT toms arvo, too. *another sigh*
- But looking forward to start reading the new book club novel for one hour!
- Anyways, hopefully bbl, else hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
