Friday Post 490

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3789 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'When God Goes Against His Will'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Much More/'Much Less (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'In The Depths' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-ONE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 62ND time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Aww, what better way to end the week than with my first awesome sleep in three days? 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*
• Cowpig and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P when 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 giving poor Elf's ankle a brief rub since she ignored her last night.
• Once PIG mum lets Peggy inside @ 9:30am, Peggy stands @ the door and announces, "Good morning." When I wave Cowpig @ her she next states, "Fifteen more minutes." I wave Cowpig @! her again and she thankfully removes herself, thus saving herself from the wrath of the Bear Bum but she's a terrible cheat and comes back like four minutes too early! When I protest how long I've still got left, instead of leaving she just sits on my bed and every thirty seconds demands, "Now?" I just ignore her until I've counted down my remaining time. XD
• After using the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who's already squirted some toothpaste for me.
• 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 tells me that she had her two usual fried eggs for breakfast.
• For my breakfast, I slurp one bowl of plain porridge mixed with some Minus :P one full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread with avocado and sprinkled with salt. 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 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 kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt all day.

• At Breathe, I tell Winnie how I've hurt Elf and mother said stay off Elf this session. Physio today: Sat down for Winnie to assess Elf and then plinth session: 36 leg raises for Erf, 36 arm press for Era and Ela each with 2kg dumbbell, 36 arm raises for Era with 2kg dumbbell, 36 bridges, tennis ball catching and boxing! As usual, Connor ignored me but he was all over Peggy this morning since she'd been playing with Ellie and Rex and he could smell   all the dog treats on her!

• After one loo trip (CX258 opens the female bathroom and the second cubicle's ambulant) Peggy tootled us off to Rochedale   Coles to buy groceries for my afternoon cooking session with Dorrie. When we were leaving, we bumped into Uncle Wallace, also out buying his groceries!

• Back home I showered my quickest -  hairwash  today. Thanks also to Peggy who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
