Thursday Post 608

 Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday's actually 3835 (on Wednesday I enjoyed my 2nd consecutive awesome sleep, bought groceries with PIG mum, played table tennis in the  arvo  and had a GG Bible study @ night); secondly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2222 steps (nice number, eh? Actually, 'twas 2221 but I stood up, took one step forward and then sat back down XD); thirdly, John Piper's daily devotional topic's from last night's "Jesus Is Who You're Looking For"; fourthly, TWFT topic's 'Show Kindness' and fifthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Feed The Need'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like the past three days, nature didn't call until 6:50am 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 happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am, just before 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 returning outside and waiting for Karina's arrival, only returning and telling me fifteen more minutes. Karin's late.
  • But Karina arrives like two minutes later and gives me fifteen more minutes?  After, when I was using the pot :P for one tinkle before we got me kitted, I asked her was she late since she'd been stuck in traffic? Only Karina replied I wasn't late! Must remember to   ask    PIG mum about that~
  • I  went next door to the bathroom   and brushed teeth (thanks to  Karina who  squirted me  some toothpaste), sat  over  the loo for one tinkle,  washed and dried Era then walked out  to  the gobbling :P table with Karina,  rousing  @ her for not eating  any  breakfast and informing  her that she'd  buy  food for herself while we were out grocery shopping for PIG mum.  XD
  • For my breakfast I munch one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and for some reason the PLATE sprinkled with salt (hence why I lick the plate clean afterwards 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, Karina accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing up breakfast dishes  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 backseat of Karina's car. Thanks to her who kindly helps me buckle my seat both ways and she tootles us off to  Rochedale Coles for grocery shopping.

  • Aww, isn't Karina sweet? Since I was grumpy @ horrid PIG mum for not letting us grab lunch from Ho Lin Wah before coming home, Karina grabbed a trolley for us and then we walked past the Coles to   some sushi place and she shouted me a kaarage chicken sushi roll for morning tea while she got herself two rice paper rolls!'

  • Our main stop before returning home was buying groceries from Coles.  Huge thanks to Karina who  lemme sit while she took our items through the self-serve checkout; wonder why dad won't?

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

  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was one yummy salmon in onion and tomato  toastie with TWO cheese cut into two rectangles; thanks also to Karina who found where PIG mum keeps the powdered HK-style milk tea and poured one cup for me.

  • After I finished lunch, I asked Karina please to massage Ela. Karina's daughter has some kinda unique name like Shaianne? 

  • At 1:55pm I sat over the loo once more for two tinkles before plopping online then signing Karina off with my thanks and byes.  She's back next Thursday and taking me to GCCW!

  • Best of  all, it's ice cream  night tonight; like I  say every week,  a very little's better than none @ all!

  • Toms: Asha's minding me from 98:30am till 2pm and taking me to physio @ Breathe with Winnie.  Hopefully we can buy groceries afterwards before coming home for a shower and lunch else I don't see how I'll pass two grand.

  • After she leaves Dorrie's coming and we're cooking some chicken dish!

  • Looking forward to eating it, reading for one hour and watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 165TH time; that's provided I get to watch the news (Nine's) for the 164TH time tonight!

  • Anyways, hopefully bbl tonight else wishing  everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
