Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3800 steps (so will have hopefully reached 4000 steps before Friday ends); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'An/The Unshakably Happy God'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Don't Be Afraid Of Getting Old" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Seeing With God's Heart" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-TWO MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 165TH time!! Anyways, events for today?
- Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7am when the noisy garbage truck THUNDERED down the road and woke me on the way to tip bins; 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 cuddled and snored, me waking once again for the pot :P around 9am shortly before noisy 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 Asha's arrival only to return shortly after and gimme fifteen more minutes, saying Asha's late! I immediately comply, asking her to please ring CODA should Asha have not arrived by 9:40am.
- But phew, Asha arrives like two minutes later and I'm given fifteen more minutes again. When Asha returns, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle and ask Asha was she late coz she was stuck in traffic? No, she replies. Turns out she'd already had a shift before me!
- Breakfast was one bowl of plain porridge mixed with warm healthy cereal and one slice of toast lightly spread with avocado and for some reason the PLATE sprinkled with salt (so I licked the plate clean after eating XD), 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*
- After breakfast, Asha walks behind me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing up the breakfast dishes for me. 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 Asha's passenger seat, she kindly helps me with my seatbelt then she tootles me off to Breathe for physio.
- Physio today: 2.112km bike ride, 36 bar-assisted pushups, 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! I told Winnie about how I'd stacked it last Saturday and about my impressive bruise before asking did she wanna see but I added I hope not since it's nearly healed and it's Winter, I'm cold and don't really want to pull down my pants to you! Winnie roared with laughter and said since you've said it's almost all better, that's fine. Phew! XD
- After a bathroom trip (CZ258 opens the female toilets, and the 2nd cubicle has an ambulant rail) Asha tootled me home and I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Asha who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
- Dried, creamed and rekitted, for lunch Asha made me one tuna in tomato and onion with TWO cheese, HEAVILY buttered on the inside and one big mug of white tea sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar, yay~
- Cheers,
Em. ^^
