Good afternoon! Why I'm peeved: did lotsa walking today, firstly for Free Cone Day and then long hallway walking @ the NAB, but stupid Wally's only given me 598 steps! >< But John Piper's' devotional topic's What It Means To Pray For Your Enemy'; TWFT topic's "Let's Respect Our Differences" and our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Bearing With One Another" but way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after I get home from Toastmasters tonight!! Anyways, events for today?
- Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:30am, 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*
- Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P around 9am, shortly 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 and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap 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 only 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 was three yummy dry (no honey) Weet-Bix sprinkled very lightly with some Cornflakes with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toiast very lightly spread with some avocado and hopefully sprinkled with some 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 Asha inside @ 9:30am and sets down the day's tasks for her. Once I've finished breakfast, Asha covers me with sunscreen and then walks behind me back to the bathing before returning to the kitchen and washing up the breakfast stuff for me. 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 Asha's car. Asha helps me with my seatbelt (as she kindly does all day) before tootling us off to Pinelands Plaza, where she grabs a trolley for us.
- Today we don't buy groceries @ Coles but only grab my lunch crunchy pork bahn mi from Aunty Nancy since we're next off to Sunnybank Plaza for Free Cone Day!
- Just our luck: the last disabled park upstair's available, phew! Although going down the escalator I notice that the ascending one's outta order. >< *sigh*
- Free Cone Day doesn't start until midday, so I sit just outside the entrance and wolf down my bahn mi before joining the queue that's already formed waiting for midday! Asha checks for me: it's 11:39am.
- Huge thanks to Asha who holds hands gently with Era while we're lining up. After we've hiked up the ramp and entered the winding line, I'm trying to place the very familiar woman waving enthusiastically @ me? Then I look beyond her and recognise Kwany! Oh, it's Aunty Peggy; they've brought Daniel and Hannah to experience Free Cone Day! I try and offer Hannah a high five but the little darling's shy, aww~
- I ask for a big scoop of cookies and cream while Asha gets salted caramel! Back seated in the car, she takes a proper photo for me and then we happily slurp away while she tootles me off to the NAB.
- After one loo trip, I hike into the NAB. Mrs. Hoppie's there! She directs me to sit and wait in the dizzy room while she finalises things with the student.
- Phillip's twenty-seven, from China and a GEM since he did exercise physiology first.
- Physio today: Eight laps long hallway walking, stepping for Erf, left weight shift and four mini squats with forward weight shift and leaning. Mrs. Hoppie'll be here the next two/three Mondays since Elaine the Scottish lady's busy.
- After one more loo trip Asha tootled me home for a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Asha who rinsed out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
Cheers,
Em. ^^^
