Friday Post 511

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4076 steps (sweet I'm just over four grand; that doesn't happen very often!); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Only True Freedom'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Don't Be Double Minded' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Change Christ Brings' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTEEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 181ST time!! Anyways, events for today?

•  Nature  called once @ 12:45am;  following the Sun's rising and another 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, nature calling again once more around 9am just before PIG mum begins her usual daily a-THUMPING around upstairs.  Soon, she's let herself into my room before going back outside and awaiting Asha's arrival.
• After PIG mum lets Asha inside, Asha knocks, opens the door and softly calls good morning. When Daddy Bear flops a paw @ her, she asks "Fifteen more minutes?" Another paw flop from Daddy Bear and she wisely removes herself, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
• Asha actually returns twenty seconds too early but luckily doesn't try get me up until after I've counted down the twenty more seconds.  XD I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then head over to the bathroom and brush teeth, while Asha empties the pot :P for me.
• After sitting over the loo for one tinkle, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Asha, who tells me that she had Weet-Bix for breakfast.
• I had two Weetbix - dry (without honey) - for breakfast too! I also munched one slice of toast lightly spread with avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt (Asha initially forgot but I said don't worry, we're even; my Friday-itis is that I thought her name was Sharon XD), popped all my usual drugs :P and drink 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* Also thanks to PIG mum who turned Sunrise on for my viewing pleasure.
• After breakfast, Asha covers my face and hands with sunscreen before walking behind me back to the bathroom then returning to the kitchen and washing up the 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 Asha's car and she tootles me off to the NAB for physio with Lachlan. We arrive so early I've twenty-five minutes to happily play mobile games before heading up @ 9:50am!
• After using the normal loo (the disabled was occupied) for one tinkle, I head into the gym.
• Physio today with Lachlan for two hours:  Two 10m walk tests, five TUG tests, both legs push against som-ometer, stepping for both legs at parallel bars, ten laps long hallway walking and Two laps uneven surface walking.
• After sitting over the loo for two tinkles, Asha tootles me home. Dad didn't pick up when I rang but PIG mum did, saying we're just on Alan  Cresc.!
• Took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Asha 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 two more of the DELICIOUS dumplings Aunty Jenny (David's mum) made for dad one pork bun from dad's mate and maybe some rice with lotsa vegetables. At 1:30pm I signed Asha off with my thanks and byes; we also said Merry Christmas since I'm unsure when she'll look after me again. XD
• At 2/2pm Dorrie came and cooked a tuna pasta bake with me! See Facebook for photos~
• After she left, I enjoyed one bowl for arvo tea and happily read Ender's Game for one hour; today I reached pg. 250 @ 4:29pm.
• After one more tinkle, I plopped online.
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 181ST time!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
