Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4037 steps (sweet I'm already just over four grand; that doesn't happen very often! XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Ammunition Against Anxiety' thirdly, TWFT topic's "God's Pushing You Outta Your Comfort Zone' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Recognizing Jesus'. Anyways, events for today?
- Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:45 and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep, since dad would leave for sth one hour later!
- Sure enough, @ 7:45am dearest dad comes to kiss me goodbye and leave for a morning's work @ Uncle Eddy's place. I use the pot :P again and then 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, me waking once more for the pot :P just before noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my bedroom to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and the tee (i.e. she just lays the tee out for me, but doesn't give any help whatsoever afterwards) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
- PIG mum returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
- Breakfast is one bowl of delicious Special K with sliced strawberries over the top and one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast that I cut and spread the avocado over myself before PIG mum oddly very lightly sprinkled the PLATE (not the toast) with salt (no problems, I'll just 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 washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage but since he's not arrived yet, unlocks the gate wanders inside and asks his wife Jennifer for permission for us to enter first. After I use the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and come out, Ray's just arrived: good timing!
- I lie down to receive some massage and acupuncture from Ray. PIG mum's in her element yapping unceasingly @ Ray; my grateful thanks to him who always replied and kept a conversation flowing.
- After one more tinkle, PIG mum tootled us back to Warrigal Square and I hiked every aisle @ Woolies while buying a few items. Like dad, mother won't lemme sit on the self-serve checkout machine like the carer will rest the legs. *sigh*
- Back home, I bid Bettina hello and then sat down to a lunch of rice leftovers with mostly boiled vegetables and like one strip of meat, plus two/three chunks of salmon.
- Lunch was washed down with one cup of delicious iron goddess Chinese tea; after taking the cup over to the sink, I used the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era then walked myself slowly and safely online, always
- Lorraine's minding me from 4-6pm; will haveta open the door for her since PIG mum's already in pigland upstairs while dad's asleep on the sofa.
- Surely I'll FINALLY finish reading Ender's Game!
- Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 183RD time!
- Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm and taking me to Breathe for physio. Presume we'll buy groceries afterwards and get my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from Pinelands Bakehouse.
- Looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online but must remember to PIG mum to gimme some RICE for arvo tea before Lorraine takes me to Toastmasters! It'll be another tiny attendance; Caitlin's already said he can't come. XD
- Not really looking forward to getting an UnHappy Meal for dinner but will let Lorraine get her plain sundae if she's been watching her food intake since I saw her last~
- Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
Cheers,Em. ^^rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
