Thursday Post 329

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1728 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Truer Knowledge Brings Greater Joy' (seems familiar?); thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Free From Guilt And Condemnation' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Faithful In Prayer'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature already called once @ 11:58pm but then I happily snored all the way until 6:50am before waking and relieving myself again~
  • After the  first daylight  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*
  • Can't remember did I wake for the pot :P again around 7:45am butt I definitely did around 9am, just before 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 returning outside and awaiting Louiza's arrival @ 9:30am.
  • Third time lucky: Louiza FINALLY arrives promptly! XD She knocks, opens the door and says she'll get me up in fifteen minutes; when she comes back and taps me, I sit up then use the pot :P for one more tinkle. After we get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth before heading over to the bathroom and brushing teeth. After sitting over the loo for one tinkle, I wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table with Louiza, rousing   @ her for not eating any breakfast and informing her that she'd get some while I was doing physio with Winnie. XD
  • Breakfast was two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P and Milo cereal, 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*
  • Breakfast finished, I call Louiza back to please gimme some sunscreen, before she walks behind me to the bathroom then returns tto the kitchen and washes the breakfast stuff up. 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 climbed into the backseat of Louiza's car and she tootles me off to Breathe for physio.  After arriving twenty minutes early, I get nearly fifteen minutes to happily play match three games but after entering the house with five minutes left, I'm asked to sit in the waiting room since I'm still too early! That's cool; I just happily continue playing match three games~ 
  • Physio today: 1.861km bike ride, forty v-bar cable rows, forty bar-assisted push-ups, forty steps for Erf with left weight shift, forty steps for Elf, forty leg extensions for Elf, forty leg curls for Elf, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing!
  • Since PIG mum hadn't any groceries she wanted buying, after physio Louiza tootled me home and I took a nice hot shower - hairwash  today. Also thanks to Louiza who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, Louiza walked behind me back out to the gobbling :P table, blew dry my hair then returned to clean the bathroom before I signed her off with my thanks and byes @ 2pm. She's back same time next week and taking me to GCCW!
  • Lunch finished, I take the cup over to the sink, use the loo for one tinkle, do my daily Bible readings then tootle online for myself.
  • Once I've used up the most important two hours of the day, I'll use the loo for one tinkle then sit and read The Last Druid for one hour while waiting for PIG mum to come downstairs from her long arvo nap and gimme some arvo tea.
  • Tonight's ice cream night; yay! Like I say every week, a very little's better than none @ all!
  • Toms: Jane's helping me up @ like 8am and taking me to two hours' of physio @ the NAB. It's my final session with the student (can't remember his name but it's the   same name as Jane's  partner - oh, Nathan!) so yay for Fun Shirt Friday! :D
  • She'll see me home and showered before leaving @ 2pm then I think Christina's coming to give Ela one hour of unfunctional OT. Hope she remembers to bring bubble tea!! :D
  • Also hoping to watch the 6pm news (Seven's) for 85TH time tonight and the 86TH time toms night!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl,  else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em.
