Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4479 steps (sweet I'm already over four grand; that doesn't happen too often!); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'What Makes God Proud?'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Don't Get Ahead Of God' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Gift Of Giving'. Anyways, events for today?
- Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 6:35am 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 when dearest dad comes and kisses me bye and retucks me back into bed before heading off to Aunty Yvonne's place for some work.
- More happy snoring for Daddy Bear and I, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am shortly before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Karina's arrival.
- Only it's not Karina who arrives? PIG mum instructs the new carer to gimme fifteen more minutes and Daddy Bear waves his paw @ her and she goes, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
- When she comes back, I sit up, look and recognise the carer but can't recall her name! >< ^^" XD Sheepishly, I say sorry I'm sure I've met you before, but I've forgotten your name ... The carer laughs and replies I'm Narelle; I've not looked after you since last year!
- After one tinkle in the pot, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth before sitting over the loo for one tinkle, washing and drying Era then heading out to the gobbling :P table with Narelle.
- Breakfast is one bowl of plain porridge with some Minus :P plus one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and for some odd reason the PLATE sprinkled with 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*
- Breakfast finished, Narelle walks behind me back to the loo before going back to wash up the 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 Narelle's car, and she tootles me off to Underwood Park for a hike! Phew, she knows the way since she's taken her grandkids there before~
- Wow, today we bump into not one, not two but THREE school excursions! I take a brief lie down in one of the sunlounges, Narelle spots a turtle in the lake and today we also pass two/three dogs, but the water dragon doesn't come say hi? Prolly hibernating. XD
- Turns out I was the one who introduced Narelle to bubble tea, she's keen for a cup too (and will shout!) so after our hike we grab a Biscoff milk tea with pearl (half ice normal sugar) each from the bubble tea shop around the side of Underwood MarketPlace! :D Originally we tried Tea Station @ Warrigal Square but they hadn't opened yet!
- Back home, I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Narelle who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
- Dried, creamed and rekitted, I sat outside the gobbling :P table and watched PIG mum cook lunch for us while Narelle went and cleaned the bathroom. Then she asked to clock off early since her next shift was @ the PA where her client had scheduled a Facetime meeting with his sister in Canada: the poor bloke, he has epilepsy, suffered a seizure while over the loo, fell off and broke his back, becoming a quadraplegic! o_O He's gonna get a PEG tube inserted soon coz he's got difficulty swallowing, the poor bloke ... obviously PIG mum and I said yes, go!
- Lunch was one bowl of the vermicelli PIG mum had cooked plus one huge mug of green tea.
- After taking the bowl to the sink, I used the loo for one tinkle and 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.
- Toms: it's national donut day; fingers crossed I can get myself a donut (or three! XD)
- Peggy's minding me 9:30pm till 2pm and taking me to Breathe for physio before Syn comes and gives Ela one hour of unfunctional exercises.
- Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
