Thursday Post 627

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4868 steps (so will hopefully reach half a normal person before the day's out XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'We All Need Help'; thirdly, TWFT topic's '7 Worry-Conquering Scriptures' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Imposter Syndrome'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Unsurprising I didn't have an awesome night's sleep last night; I couldn't reach PIG mum!! >< Nature called once around 12:30am; after another pot :P trip following  the Sun's rising, 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*
  • Nature calls again around 9am, shortly before dearest dad comes into my room and gives me some eye goo.
  • After Karina arrives @ 7:30am, she knocks, pushes open the door and says, "Good morning, Emily, hitting the snooze button for fifteen more minutes ..." Mini Pearl nods @ her and she wisely removes herself; phew, since he's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
  • When Karina comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who's squirted some toothpaste for me. Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Karina, grousing @ her for AGAIN skipping breakfast. >< XD
  • Breakfast is one bowl of healthy cereal (Weet-Bix and Minus :P) with one slice of thick-cut toast spread with avocado and sprinkled with salt, one full cup of water, all my usual drugs :P and one cup of white tea with two teaspoonfuls of sugar. 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 the breakfast stuff. 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 Karina's car and she tootles me off to Breathe. Thanks to her who kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt both ways.
  • Aww, I feel loved: Connor came out and greeted me when I entered the business! Usually, Connor ignores me unless I've got my monthlies and then he comes sniffing since he smells the blood. XD
  • Physio   today: twenty-eight lap walsking, 3.542km bike ride, forty step-ups for Erf with left weight shift, forty v-bar cable rows with both hands, forty leg extensions for Elf, forty leg curls for Elf and boxing! Plus seven minutes Elf popliteal fossa massage and three minutes theragun!
  • After one loo trip (I think CZ258 unlocks the female toilet and I use the ambulant cubicle) Karina tootled me home and I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Karina who 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 tuna in tomato and onion toasted sandwich with TWO cheese and one massive mug of white tea sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar.
  • At 1:15pm I signed Karina off with my thanks and byes; she's back next Thursday but I'll see her @ the CODA Christmas party toms!
  • Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day I'll use the loo for one tinkle then head over to the gobbling :P table to munch  arvo tea and read for one hour.
  • Tonight's ice cream night, yay! Dad gives slightly more than mother does. XD
  • Toms: Jane's down to mind me from 9:30am till 4pm but Michelle emailed yesterday saying  Sylvia's taking me to the CODA Christmas party! Unsure why Christmas parties are starting in November, but fingers crossed for a proper meal @ the sports club and that I'll win a prize hamper! Also hope Jane/Sylvia will see me showered before leaving and hopefully I'll skip OT?  XD 
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl  else wishing everyone a smashing end to  the week  toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
