Friday Post 498

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3355 steps; secondly, Jon Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Dependable In The Mundane'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Your Life's A Letter (1) and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'No Wasted Pain' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FOURTEEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 98TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Aww, what better way to end the week than with my third consecutive awesome sleep? Nature didn't call until 7:20am am 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*
• Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am, shortly before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give Elf a very brief rub since she hadn't last night.
• PIG mum opens the door for Peggy when she announces her arrival @ 9:30am. Peggy knocks, pushes open the door and announces, "Good morning." When I wave Daddy Bear's paw back @ her she next states, "Fifteen more minutes." When I wave Daddy Bear's paw @ her again, she wisely removes herself, thus saving her from   the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
• When Peggy returns, I use 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 told me that she had her two usual fried eggs for breakfast.
• For my breakfast, I had one bowl of plain porridge mixed with Fruity Bites, one slice of toast spread with avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Also thanks to Peggy who kindly made me one big mug of hot white tea, even though she couldn't find where sneaky mother had hidden the sweetener. *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 and then returns to wash 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 Auto (pronounced Alto). Thanks to Peggy who helps me with my seatbelt (as she kindly does all day) before she tootles me off to physio. 

• Physio today: 2.456km bike ride, 36 leg assisted pull-ups, 36 v-cable rows for both hands, 36 leg extensions for Elf, 36 leg curls for Elf, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing! Usually, Winnie gimmes a wee break in between sets but today I told her I'd smash out thirty-six consecutive since afterwards I was going to get my donut for national donut day! 

• After one loo trip (CZ258 unlocks the female bathroom and the end cubicle's an ambulant one) Peggy tootled me off to Underwood MarketPlace to buy my donut!

• Peggy parked round the side of the shopping centre  and got a shopping centre for us. Lucky I remembered that the donut shop was in the corner @ food court!

• PIG mum had left me five bucks for the donut; sweet, the donuts were $4.50 each. There were three shelves; I started reading each one but Peggy pointed me towards the third shelf and suggested I choose a donut from there coz they were fattest. XD

• In the end, I chose a caramel Biscoff cheesecake donut; after buying it, Peggy and I sat down @ food court, and I scoffed it immediately. XD

• Back home, I took my quickest possible nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing me to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

• Back out @ the gobbling :P table, Peggy makes me a yummy tuna in tomato and onion toastie with TWO cheese, HEAVILY buttered and one more huge mug of white tea! Still without sweetener, though. *sigh*

• At 1:55pm I sat over the loo for two more tinkles before signing Peggy off with my thanks and byes. She's got her usual weekend shifts and is back next Friday.

• Syn came and Ela did a set of FitMi exercises with her.

• When she left, I headed over to the gobbling :P table to read The Great Zoo Of China for one hour and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea.

• She gave me some fruit, about one plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea. When I read, I reached pg. 222 @ exactly 3pm, reached pg. 225 @ 3:03pm, reached pg. 250 @ exactly 3:25pm and finished pg. 275 @ 3:46pm.

• Reading finished, I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
