Monday Post 329

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been  hard @ work plodding only 852 steps (but going to physio next and promise to  have cracked one grand before Monday's out XD);  secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Satisfaction That Defeats Sin'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Raise The Bar' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Ready To Be Generous' but fifthly    and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE  HOUR and THIRTY MINUTES online after I get home from physio and watch the 6pm news for  the 122ND  time!! Anyways,  events for today?

• When nature called around 1am, I used the pot :P once  ands bet that   PIG mum had forgotten  to  change the clock's battery like she'd told me she would  when I informed  her  yesterday that the battery  was running  flat. XD
• Sure enough, after the first pot :P trip following the  Sun's rising, I  noticed that the clock only read  4am. XD Back under the covers, 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 not calling again until  nearly 9am. Shortly after this third pot :P  trip, PIG mum begins her  daily  a-THUMPING around upstairs and shortly afterwards she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye  goo and help exceedingly  slightly with absolutely nothing bar   the bra strap   and laying out  the tee before leaving me to get  myself mostly independently kitted,  which I  comply with after immediately struggling into the tops and then giving myself  fifteen more minutes first.
  
• After mostly  rekitting myself I  call PIG  mum to please come and finish with Elf's AFO straps and both laces;  it's  already almost 9:45am! Still,  she takes her time  about it and  it's not till  just after 9:50am when I let her gleefully FORCE  :( me  to walk over to  the bathroom   and brush  teeth.
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^
