Saturday Post 145

Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's been hard @ work plodding 1750 steps today (keeping in mind that 1241 of those steps were plodded last night; D2 proudly reports that 1750 steps also equals forty-two kcal or 690m XD) and secondly, TWFT topic's 'A Notable Woman, Or Man'. Righteo, let's start off with last night's events first!
-After I finished getting my Naruto fix, PIG mum tumbled downstairs from pigland, gleefully and immediately booted me offline.
-So followed ages of stupid balloon exercises, followed by PIG mum gleefully FORCING :( poor Em on four laps of side ways walking, followed by PIG mum gleefully forcing poor Em on lotsa stupid exercises for mostly poor Ela, culminating with PIG mum gleefully forcing poor Elf to endure a painful fifteen minute standing calf stretch.
-After the usual dinner and one toilet trip, dad tootled me off to church. I was gonna to over on the most left, but for some reason dad ordered that I sit in the middle. Oh well, no biggie.
-Last night, there was some lady called Carolyn who was talking about Un-busyness. She likened un-busyness to a treadmill, a trout, a TARDIS and a truck. It was nice for once not to need to sing any worship songs.
-Fiona sat beside me! We hugged, coz we hadn't seen each other for ages; I told her my story about Vincent the bloody physio, while she told me about how her pet bird had had some kidney problems and had just gone for a blood test that morning.
-After Pastor Chris prayed to finish the night, he invited everyone downstairs for supper and ice cream!
-Alas, that's when my EPIC FAILURE happened. ><  Fiona gave me hand down the first step, but I still managed to lose my balance and fall flat on my butt! >< Luckily, Julz was nearby and kindly hauled me right back up, but I'm still . So. PISSED. With Myself!!! ><
-Anyways, after I'd visited the loo once, I sat down, and Fiona not only brought me over one little mini sausage roll with tomato sauce, but even an ice cream cone! :D
-I also met a new friend! She's only twenty-three/twenty-four, has an architecture degree but works in some pharmacy, and was born in Australia but can speak a little Canto. She told me, "You seem very accepting of what's happened to you." Laughing bitterly, I could only reply, "How can I not accept it? I can't just decide I don't like what God's given me, just get up and leave!"
-When dad came to get me (like he ordered, I rang him the moment we finished; dunno why he didn't pick up?), I grabbed one more mini sausage roll before leaving, and that was reason enough for him to chuck some almighty cow @ me. Sheesh...
-Anyways, repeat the usual nightly routine @ home, then zzz...
-Today: woohoo, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:20am and after one pot :P trip, I spent the ten minutes till 6:30am having a mostly silent chat to percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance strength and endurance I needed to get through today with, giving all the pleasure, all the satisfaction to PIG mum and just suffering for her whenever she decided only she could be happy and/or satisfied. Actually, before I even did that, the very first thing was tell the cruel and unfaithful God that I can do ALL things WITHOUT Him who only seeks to hurt, harm and hinder me, and also that while He can break my body (like He's already done; I'm physically disabled beyond words ><) and He can bend my mind (like He's also done; my parents always jeer @ me that I don't think properly anymore ><) but my SOUL was NOT FOR HIM to possess. Afterwards, Daddy bear and I happily cuddled and snored, me waking briefly to kiss PIG mum goodbye when she left for work and use the pot :P once more. :P After she left, I continued my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel for another ten minutes, asking him please to help me get through today okay, before Daddy bear and I resumed our happy snorings together, me waking up and using the pot :P thrice more before Barb arrived.
-After she gave me fifteen more minutes, I used the pot :P once more, she got me kitted for today then she Forced me to walk to the bathroom where I brushed my teeth. Thanks to Barb who squirted me some toothpaste, and Ela also enjoyed her once weekly reprieve.
-After drinking one mug of water holding it 'incorrectly', I went and did a stinky unspeakable, also leaning briefly against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel.
-When that was done, I went over to wash and dry Era, before Barb Forced me to walk out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast.
-Thanks to dearest dad who'd left me half a slice of ham and egg each, and thanks to Barb who cooked the bread yummy and added me one slice of cheese. My weekly mug of white tea, sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar, was my second mug for today that I could hold 'incorrectly'.
-After I finished eating, I practised the story I was telling to the lil kiddies toms while Barb massaged Ela for about thirty minutes.
-Ding dong! Today, Aunty Winnie and Aunty Ming came to teach me translation. First, I translated a small devotion, then practised dialogue. Barb took me once to the loo just after midday then made me one mug of warm milo, my third for today to hold 'incorrectly'.
-After they left, I rang Aunty Lai and talked with her for about eight minutes.
-no time to ring Aunty Nga afterwards, coz 'twas almost time for Barb to leave!
-Lunch was roughly half a bowl of Barb's yummy fried rice; I'd remembered to inform Barb about my ABHORRENCE of celery, and she'd kindly not added any. XD
-Lunch was washed down with one thick slice of seedy watermelon (not that I ate the seeds; I'll never forget the watermelon story that dad tricked me with when I was like five! XD) then I went once more to the loo before I plopped online.
-Carol Lockwood should come to supervise my shower soon.
-Toms: just church, nothing special. Oh, the special thing's that we're having our church baptism in the afternoon (Melody Cheung's getting baptised!) and to celebrate, SHINE and JUST fellowships are having dinner @ Ching and Sylvia's place that night!
-So hopefully bbl, else hope to see everyone @ church toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
