Friday post 480d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 3051. Ha, I'm just over three grand. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I finished reading and sharing Facebook memories. Then I had five/ten minutes to play the HP version of Bejeweled - and I passed two more levels!
• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: fingers crossed PIG mum helps me up latest by 9:15am ...
• Planning to read for three hours toms; will skip watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 8th time for that!
• Looking forward to playing table tennis @ church with dearest dad~
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good evening again! Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 2908. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• When PIG mum came downstairs and started yapping @ Eileen, Eileen wisely decided to make her escape after using the loo once. Obviously, I walked her out and introduced her to my dearest dad, who was doing sth in the garage!
• After using the loo for one tinkle, I returned online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 7th time. All the things I like reading are in the previous post.
• When PIG mum summoned me for dinner @ 7:19pm, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely over to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa little tong vegetable, lotsa soup tomato, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup carrot, 1/4 chunk of crumbed fish with one little dab of mayo and one delicious chunk of pork chop, which I obviously saved for last.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the cup over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Anyways, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 2650 (ha, I'm over 2.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'A Sacrifice Of Praise'. Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• Eileen said she'd come from 3:30pm, @ 3:45pm I messaged her saying looking forward to seeing you soon and she finally arrived @ 3:50pm; I noted down the time and then immediately went and opened the door for her! 
• Mother came downstairs for introductions but after seeing us seated and placing tea plus digestive bikkies (little round ones) on the gobbling :P she retired upstairs and let us chat~
• Maybe Eileen lives in Logan Reserve/Duggan? She lives by herself and only has one son but already has kids and great grandkids! She's seventy-five, BTW and leads a busy life; like me, she joins a book club and sings in a dementia choir (but hasn't got dementia) - bbl!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 480

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2223 steps (aww, how come I couldn't have plodded one fewer step?? 2222 would've looked cooler! XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Only A Little While'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Show Compassion To Everyone (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'What Scripture Reveals' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-ONE MINUTES online after Eileen pops over for a visit!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! I'd let PIG mum gleefully boot me off to bed so early that I'd already fallen asleep and woken with a full bladder just before midnight but after using the pot :P once Pearl and I happily snored all the way until 6:10am before nature called again~
• Following the morning 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*
• Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P once more around 9am, just before PIG mum begins her noisy daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let her into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum comes back to finish with just 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 and 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 the less-yummy (so sticky) bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P, one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with some avocado and hopefully sprinkled with some salt (I couldn't taste any on the slice of toast  iyself but found some on the plate? 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 breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the loo, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, 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 Peggy's car and she tootles us off to watch Mufasa! Thanks to her who kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt both ways.

   

• Peggy did a side park underground (it was the one remaining one, phew) and I hiked upstairs to buy our tickets before using the disabled bathrooms once.

• OOPS! The movie ticket seller must've heard just the 'M' because he sold us tickets to Moana2 and not Mufasa! XD I happily watched it again~ Since she took the free ticket with my companion card, Peggy bought me one packet of sweet and salty popcorn! Sounds disgusting, I know, but tastes delicious!

• Once the movie ended, we both used the toilet (I went to wash and dry Era while Peggy went herself) before Peggy tootled me home for a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

• Dried, creamed and rekitted, Peggy was gonna make me a tuna in tomato and onion toastie with TWO cheese but the cheese was moldy! >< Never mind, the huge mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of golden syrup was awesome~

• At 1:55pm, I sat over the loo for two more tinkles before signing Peggy off with my thanks and byes. She's back same time next week. Actually, it's PIG mum who signs her off and shoos her away, but I get the last laugh; suddenly My Rehab Team texts PIG mum and says session's cancelled! XD

• But Eileen's popping over for a visit @ 3:30pm! Hope I can read for one hour after she leaves and then watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 7th time!

• Anyways, hopefully  bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Thursday Post 480f

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3590. Ha, I'm just over 3.5 grand. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• When 5:30pm arrived, I climbed into the passenger seat of Deb's car and she tootled me off too the first book club for 2025! Unsurprisingly, I arrived first but the next arrival came only one minute after me~
• Nine ladies attended tonight; ten if you count Deb. She sat beside me for the meeting and even fed me one Twix stick! Our book title for next month contains the word chemistry but luckily has nothing related with chemistry; phew, coz I was too dumb to study chemistry back in high school! XD
• Used the loo for one tinkle before Deb tootled me home. She's back again next Tuesday and taking me to the first physio for 2025 ... *sigh*
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa lettuce, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup tomato, three tiny slices of black fungus and one tiny chunk of delicious, thick and soft pork chop. Since the parents had both already moved to the couch, I enjoyed putting both legs onto the footrest and leaving Ela resting in my lap. XD
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after drinking that I played the HP version of Bejeweled; I've passed several levels today and my achievement for this week's level 2600. XD
• After taking the bowl back to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Tonight's ice cream night, yay! Like I say every week, a very little's better than none @ all~
• Toms:  Peggy's coming @ 9:30pm to help me up; should I ask PIG mum to gimme fifteen more minutes @ 9:15pm and get up immediately when Peggy arrives? Since we're going to see Mufasa together! Hope she'll buy a BUCKET of popcorn!! XD
• Peggy will  see me home and showered before leaving @ 2pm; the OT's coming for one hour @ 2:15pm and giving Ela one hour of unfunctional hand exercises before Eileen's coming for a visit! 
• Hoping to start reading the book club novel for one hour and watching the 6pm news for the 7th time!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a lovely end to the weekend toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Tee hee, I've managed SIX posts tonight; that's even   rarer than five! XD

Thursday Post 480e

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3459 (so should have hit 3.5 grand before tonight ends) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Sorry, Devil'! Anyways, continuing today's events?

• Deb suddenly arrived five minutes early! PIG mum kindly let her in and I headed into the bathroom for my nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Deb who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was one yummy banana, one of those little crunchy Pikachu chocolate snacks and one small cup of green tea. Dunno why PIG mum keeps putting the green tea teabag into the white teacup; I just tell the carer to switch cups.
• Happiness was reading for exactly one hour; today I reached pg. 250 @ 4:52 and reached pg. 275 @ exactly 5:15pm!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. I've already managed FIVE posts tonight; that doesn't usually happen Thursdays! XD

Thursday Post 480d

 Good afternoon! Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2307. Righteo, continuing events for today?

• When I was summoned over for lunch, I headed over to the gobbling :P table and introduced myself to Aunty Elsa but she says we've met before?
• For lunch I munched two yummy slices of pizza that had added pineapple and cheese but also one thick slice of tomato over each slice.
• Lunch was washed down with one huge mug of green tea, after which I played the HP version of Bejeweled while PIG mum yapped @ Aunty Elsa and dad went outside and tended to the backyard.
• When PIG mum took Aunty Ela for walkies I used the loo for one tinkle before returning online.
• Waiting for Deb to come @ 4pm; after I shower, PIG mum had better remember to gimme the packet of powdered instant HK-style milk tea!
• Looking forward to hitting book club with Deb @ 5:30pm!
• Looking more forward to ice cream night tonight; like I say, a very liuttle's always better than none @ all!
• And looking most forward to toms: Peggy's taking me to see Mufasa!
• Although not looking forward to resuming therapy for 2025 ... think Dorrie's coming @ 2pm and giving Ela one hour of unfunctional exercises.
• But planning to get started on the new book club novel for one hour after she leaves and perhaps even watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 7th time!
• Righteo, hopefully bbl tonight, else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
