Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3154 steps (ha, I'm over three grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Suffering That Crushes Faith'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'How Do You Handle Fear?' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "When Life's Unfair". Anyways, events for today?
- Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 8:00am and after one pot :P trip I fell back asleep immediately, since PIG mum would get very noisy one hour later!
- Sure enough, noisy PIG mum starting her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs @ 9amwakes me for another pot :P trip, after which 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*

Breakfast finished, Gabby slathers my face and hands with sunscreen before walking behind me back to the bathroom then returning to the kitchen and washing up my breakfast dishes. Over the loo, 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 Gabby's car and she tootles me off to Breathe for physio. Thanks to her who kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt both ways.
Physio today: 2.058km bike ride, 36 leg-assisted push-ups, 36 steps for Erf, 36 v-cable rows for both hands, 36 leg curls for Elf, 48 leg extensions for Elf, 36 banded shoulder extensions for Ela, tennis ball catching and throwing and boxing!
After another loo trip (CZ258 unlocks the female toilets but someone had already left them unlocked this morning) Gabby tootled me home for a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Gabby who helped me rinse out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was a tuna in tomato and onion toastie with TWO cheese and HEAVILY buttered - just pity that there's no raisin toast since dad's overseas! XD Gabby also made me one delicious big mug of Ceylon tea, but unfortunately sneaky PIG mum had hidden all the sweetener. *sigh*
A 1:55pm I sat over the loo once more for two tinkles then @ 2pm signed Gabby off with my thanks and byes. Unsure when she's back~
Syn came and gave Ela one hour of unfunctional exercises. Found three new chicken recipes for PIG mum to choose from for my cooking session with Dorrie next Friday; the last two have been rather bland so this time I chose recipes with sauce!
When Syn left, I sat down @ the gobbling :P table to read for one hour (huge thanks to Gabby who found me a new book to read since I've already finished The Red Queen). Arvo tea was one yummy pear *(still slightly dry), about one plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea.
After reading for one hour, I walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
But will hopefully get to watch the 6pm news for the 166TH time!
