Thursday post 197

Good morning! From now on, I suspect any posting I do will be from Tim, my smartphone. XD Anyways, today I have been hard at work plodding 598 steps today and right now I am at writers group! I accidentally printed four large copies of my homework last night, which was a waste of ink, oops! XD I still haven't decided which cheap lunch to buy from hog's breath cafe: the BLT or the beef wrap? Alas, mother saw the photo I took of my lunch I had there last time and has already decreed that I'm only allowed half this time, but I get the other half for arvo tea, so no biggie ~ anyway, dunno when I can post from here again, maybe next Friday? Anyway, until then!
Cheers,
Em.^^

P.S. si gong, Boyd said my writing was excellent! :D

Wednesday Post 197

Woohoo, PIG mum's out, meaning I can blog! Firstly, I've been hard @ work plodding 1575 steps today (remembering that like 721 of those steps were done @ Toastmasters last night) and secondly, TWFT topic's "You're Protected From Evil (2)". Anyways, let's start off with last night's events first!
-When Annette announced her arrival one minute late, Roxana let her inside then left to take her daughter to see the doctor.
-So a nice hot shower for me - I washed my hair today, but thanks to Annette who rinsed it out for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
-I had one tinkle before Annette flipped the nice hot water off, mostly dried myself (Annette helped only with my back and Era), mostly creamed myself (Annette kindly helped with Era, my back and both calves) then mostly rekitted myself (Annette helped only with Elf's AFO and both shoelaces). Then I went over to the loo for two tinkles, also leaning fully against the side rail and asking Percy the saint/angel please to help me get through the rest of Tuesday okay.
-Anyways, it's almost lunchtime, so just noting down that I had an awesome time @ Toastmasters last night (Stef brought muffins and I was picked for Table Topics); even better, I drank a milkshake with my Happy Meal last night! :D That led to an awesome sleep last night 9nature didn't call until like 6:40am) and I had UQ physio this morning. Aunty Deana's minding me now, then Carol's coming to supervise my shower @ 4pm. Tonight's ice cream night, yay, then toms I've got writers group! Aunty Carly's picking me up, PIG mum says we can have that ten dollar lunch @ Hog's Breath, although she's only letting me enjoy half; as usual, the other half's for arvo tea. Perhaps I'll get to blog toms @ the library, too! Anyways, hope everyone's having a smashing week!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Sunday Post 165d

Good evening again, and one definite final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3240, remembering that like 1631 of those steps were plodded last night attending FX. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?
-When Aunty A arrived, PIG mum immediately and gleefully forced me offline, and I had to let the parents gleefully FORCE :( me to plod 800 steps on the bloody cross trainer for them.
-After one loo trip and a quick tee change, dinner was the yummy rice, lotsa yummy wombok and/or spinach and a little chicken. Dinner was spooned down with one bowlful of soup, then I sat for ten minutes before asking PIG mum to please pass me the book I was reading, only she refused, saying she had to clear the table first.
-Only after the table was cl

Good evening, and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2049, remembering that like 1631 of those steps were plodded last night @ FX. Anyways, potential final, final events for Saturday?
-When Annette announced her arrival five minutes late (she claimed she was only two minutes late; I'll set my computer clock back three minutes) I walked myself slowly and safely to the front door and let her in, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
-So a nice hot shower for me today - I washed and rinsed my own hair.
-I had one tinkle before I flipped the nice hot water off, mostly dried myself (Annette helped only with my back and Era), mostly creamed myself (Annette kindly helped with my back, Era and both calves), then mostly rekitted myself (Annette helped only with Elf's AFO). Then I headed over to the loo for two tinkles, also leaning fully against the side rail and asking Percy the saint/angel please to help me get through tonight okay.
-After washing and drying Era, I went to wash and dry Era before letting Annette Force me to walk out to the gobbling :P table.
-Arvo tea was the second half of the yummy naan bread I'd bought with Roxana two days earlier, plus my third mug of white tea (thanks Annette!), sweetened with one heaped teaspoonful of sugar, my fifth, final and official mug for today to hold 'incorrectly'.
-While I munched away, Annette cleaned the bathroom then watched Everybody Loves Raymond, bursting into laughter quite frequently. Once I finished, I started reading our new book club novel; it's non-fiction, about how America's hunt for Osama bin Laden.
-Just before 6pm, Annette took me once more to the loo for one tinkle. She's back on Tuesday and taking me out to Toastmasters~
-Aunty A says she'll come for dinner tonight @ 6:45pm; let's see what time she actually arrives ... XD
-Toms: again, just church, definitely nothing special. Fingers crossed I can get lotsa sponsors for Walk the Wall, and can organise lunch with peoples afterwards! Righteo, hope to see everyone @ church toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Saturday Post 165b

Heylo again from the mainframe! Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 1742, remembering that like 1631 of those steps were plodded @ FX last night. Righteo, let's start with last night's events first!
~After letting PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela on ages of stupid exercises for her, letting the parents gleefully FORCE :( me to plod 700 steps on the bloody cross trainer for them, dinner and one more loo trip, dad tootled me off to FX!
-Thanks to Jeff who gave me his seat when I got inside; I started finding sponsors for Walk the Wall right away.
-Last night, the BST students led the program! First, we went around introducing ourselves and what we did during our spare time. I sat out the next game coz it involved standing, but then we all sat in groups and made collages from old magazines, answering a question displayed on the projector! I answered the question, "What has your spiritual walk with God been like?"; cutting out a boxing glove then a woman with her teeth gritted, I answered and explained the question\ like, "God knocked me down and out 7.5 years ago. That's why I've got gritted teeth and a pained expression."
-We ended with prayer. Afterwards, Julz walked behind me once to the loo (where I managed fine by myself) then I joined everyone else for supper. Thanksa to karson who got a chair for me to sit on, and someone who passed me one little cup of apple crumble with custard! Julz also walked behind me so I could get myself one lamington.
-Then I chatted with Esther before dad came to drive me home. How creepy, the UQ nutrition students use cadavers for prac! Apparently, you can note in your will that you're donating your body to UQ for research; Esther tells me they're treated with respect.
-Dad drove me home, repeat the usual nightly events, zzz~
-Today: I use the pot :P once last night and once this morning, before spending ten minutes having 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.
-A brief sleep recommences before PIG mum hits me with some eye goo and leaves for work. I use the pot :P once more and spend another ten minutes after she's gone continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay.
-More sleeping and two more pot :P trips for me, before Rhi arrives. Wow, she lets me snuggle in bed for THIRTY more minutes! :D When I ask why, she's like, "Oh, coz today's officially my last shift with you." Only the other carer didn't turn up! Must remember to e-mail Jacinta and ask what happened.
-So Rhi gets me kitted, and I go to brush teeth. After draining one full mug of water - my first to hold 'incorrectly', I go and do a stinky unspeakable, also fully leaning against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel.
-After I wash and dry Era, I let Rhi Force me to walk out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast. Thanks to dad who's made some eggs and ham; thanks also to Rhi who cooked the bread yummy and added one slice of cheese for me. My yummy mug of white tea, sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar, is my second for today to hold 'incorrectly'.
-While Rhi goes and cleans my room, I finish breakfast and start reading our new book club novel; it's non-fiction, about Osamabin Laden!
-At midday, Rhi takes me once to the loo for three tinkles then makes us both mugs of mint drinking cocolate; my third for today to hold 'incorrectly'.
-I ring Aunty Lai and chat with her for about eight minutes; next I try ringing Aunty Nga, only for Annie jie jie to tell me she's gone out grocery shopping.
-Rhi makes me fried rice for lunch, plus another mug of white tea sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar, my fourth for today to hold 'incorrectly'.
--Aunty Jo comes and teaches me translation! today we discussed going through customs @ the airport. We also made a cupcake, that was literally made with a cup and cooked inside the microwave!
-When Aunty Jo left, I took myself once slowly and safely to the toilet before plopping online, both times rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
-Annette's coming to mind me from 4pm till 6pm, then Aunty A's coming over for dinner @ 6:45pm. I'm planning to watch the Broncos' do or die game against Benny's Knights tonight!
-Toms: just church, nothing special. Hopefully I'll find lots more sponsors for Walk the Wall, and can have lunch with peoples somewhere yummy afterwards! Anyways, fingers crossed I can bbl one more time after Annette leaves @ 6pm, else hope to see everyone @ church toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Good afternoon from my smartphone, Tim! XD Omron says I've only been hard at work plodding 111 steps today; will add last night's total when I get onto the mainframe. Anyway, just noting down that I had an awesome time at FX last night! The BST students got us all to introduce ourselves, we played one game (which I sat out) then we spent the rest of the night cutting out magazine  -actually, lunch time, so hopefully bbl, else hope to see everyone at church tomorrow!

Friday Post 197

Today I've been hard @ work plodding 1622 steps. Had my last UQ physio session with Jake today, went grocery shopping with mother @ the Warrigal Square Woolies then had lunch @ Pho with Aunty Carly and Aunty Joanne. Tonight I'm attending FX! Am looking for sponsors for Walk the Wall~ I was originally planning to wheel the wall, but I've already had two sponsors who say they'll only sponsor me for the time I've walked. Meaning I'm just aiming to walk as long as I'm physically able, then just keel over and perish. XD That's okay, coz Julia says that once I've keeled over and perished, she put me back into my manual wheelchair and push me the rest of the way. XD Toms it's my sleep-in day! Rhi's coming to dig me outta bed @ 10am, but it's her last shift with me coz she's an ambo student and has to go somewhere for prac. Tomorrow we will also finalise the present I bought on Thursday~ Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing weekend! :o)
Cheers,
Em. ^^
P.S. I just copied that straight out of the Facebook post that I just wrote~

Monday Post 164

Good evening! Firstly, Em's been hard @ work plodding 3656 steps today (which Omron very proudly reports as also equaling ninety-two kcal or 1.46km XD) and secondly, TWFT topic's - 'Love Your Church - Jesus Does! (8)' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm still owed some time online after dinner because I didn't get online until 6:05pm!! Anyways, events for today?
~Yay, second consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:35am, and after one pot :P trip I had 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.
-One more hour of happy snoring with Daddy Bear before dearest dad comes to kiss me bye before leaving for work. I use the pot :P once more, then cuddle and snore with Daddy Bear for just over one more hour, also waking to use the pot :P once more, before PIG mum comes into my room, dumps all my clothes onto the bed, demands I get dressed without assistance (correction, she does help with my bra, because I'm honestly physically incapable of doing that myself) and leaves. I comply, after first giving myself fifteen more minutes. And I manage great today! That reinforces my motto of 'By my own power'. Like, I understand PIG mum gives praise to God for anything she does, but I can honestly say I get myself dressed through my own hard work, and I don't feel God providing me with any support whatsoever.
-PIG mum finishes with Elf's AFO and shoelaces, then I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk out to the bathroom and brush my teeth. I use the loo once more for two tinkles afterwards, also leaning fully against the side rail and continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay.
-Afterwards, I 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. Thanks to PIG mum who made yummy chocolate porridge for breakfast! I enjoyed that with one slice of toast, though zero thanks to PIG mum who (1) wouldn't lemme butter it; (2) gleefully forced poor Ela to hold the bread before ordering Era to rip the toast and (3) wouldn't gimme a mouthful of milk to wash that down with but that's okay, because Era kept her promise to Ela and combined with the spoon to tear the bread into bite-sized, more manageable pieces and (2) I walked myself slowly and safely to the fridge then kitchen bench top, pouring myself ONE FULL MUG of FULL CREAM milk, not letting the cruel and unfaithful God push me over!
-Breakfast over, I let PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk out to the 4WD, and she tootled me off to UQ for physio.Of course, she gleefully forced poor Em to buckle her own seatbelt all day; she also decided to listen to 96.5FM first, but I spent most of the drive finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel with both eyes closed. Opening the eyes somewhere along Coronation Drive, Era helped Ela stretch for five minutes, before Ela opened and closed her palm fifty times, holding each for a count of five.
-Catching the lift up, I bid PIG mum bye and walked myself slowly and safely to the disabled toilets. Drat, 'twas occupied. >< Era rapped against the door and I asked whoever was inside to please come out soon, then I just turned and braced my back to the wall. The guy who came out limps and wears leg braces, but was a gentleman who held the door open for me to sidle into then lock the bathroom.
-After using the loo once, I walked myself slowly and safely into the gym, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
-Physio today with Jake: weight bearing for Ela and Elf, reaching for Era, twenty laps walking along hallway, cone and pincer work for Ela.
-Afterwards, Kate came again and taped Ela; I think she's presenting @ some international conference! While she took pictures of Ela, Jake logged into the UQ database and I read some news article from news.com.au. XD Actually, I forgot today, but starting from toms, Kate wants Ela to hold the book stand for twenty minutes while I read. That'll slow down my reading significantly, but oh wells.
-It turns out that this week's Jake's last @ the NAB! He's off to Cairns Base Hospital after this rotation.
-My physio for the day over, I used the loo once more then PIG mum tootled us off to Garbo. While she drove, Era helped Ela stretch for fifteen minutes, before Ela opened and closed her palm 100 times, holding each for a count of five.
-At Garbo, I let PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk into the downstairs food court. She came back with a regular-sized chicken katsudon for me (which would also double as my arvo tea) but only lemme drink water. She didn't eat anything herself, coz she'd eaten @ Genies while I was @ the NAB. She's SNEAKY: after refusing to lemme eat lunch with Mr. Jennings, she asked him was he free for a bite together when she got my showbag! But he wasn't, and that's why she had a bite by herself while I was doing physio.
-After lunch, I let PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk all the way to Coles and back to buy chocolate, something and something else. XD 
-Argh, fingers crossed I can bbl, because I'm still owed ONE HOUR online!!! ><
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Sunday Post 164c

Good evening again, and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2381. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?
-At 9pm, I took myself once more slowly and safely to the toilet and back, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
-Toms: late morning UQ physio with Jake. Afterwards, that Kate person (or whatever her name was XD) will be doing more taping of Ela! Wonder if there'll be anymore cake involved... XD
-I was hoping to meet Mr. Jennings afterwards for lunch @ Genies and pay him back for my minion showbag, but horrid PIG mum's not letting me out for lunch, saying she'll meet him herself. ><
-In that case, fingers crossed I can have some yummy lunch @ the Garbo downstairs food court before I see Lei shifu for my comfy massage!
-Carol's coming to supervise my shower around 4pm; I'm planning to watch half of the double episode of Chicago Fire that PIG mum taped for me back on Tuesday; I'll watch the other half toms arvo when Annette's here.
-Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Sunday Post 164b

Heylo again and good evening! Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2372, but Omron has bowed out for tonight, because for some reason he doesn't count steps while I'm using the cross trainer... anyways, continuing tonight's events?
-PIG mum tumbles down from pigland not long after I finish Sunday post 164b, immediately boots me offline and demands I shower.
-So obviously, I wash and dry my own hair today, dry and rekit myself. PIG mum seriously helped with NOTHING bar Elf's AFO. Well, she handed me items of clothing also, if you count that.
-After heading over to the loo for two tinkles, I wash both hands then let PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk out to the gobbling :P table, where I let her gleefully force poor Ela on 25+ minutes of stupid exercises for her.
-That culminated with me having to let the parents gleefully FORCE :( me to plod 800 steps on the bloody cross trainer.
-Following one more loo trip, dinner was the yucky rice, lotsa spinach, about 1.5 squid balls and a few small, thin and tasteless slices of soup pork.
-Dinner was washed down with one mug of yummy lavender and Chinese tea, which I was very careful to hold 'correctly', before 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.
-Anyways, I'd better go back and keep playing Lumosity for PIG mum now; fingers crossed I can bbl after one final loo trip shortly after 9pm with my final, final plodding total for tonight, the final, final evbents for Sunday, the final, final spam count for the weekend plus what's happening toms, else hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!

Sunday Post 164

Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's been hard @ work plodding 1361 steps today (which D2 very proudly reports as also equaling twenty-nine kcal or 540m XD); secondly, TWFT topic's 'Love Your Church - Jesus Does! (7) and thirdly, the spam count for the weekend's six. Righteo, events for today?
~Woo hoo, awesome sleep last night! That prolly had sth to do with the fact that we were out celebrating Kwany's and Meow Meow's wedding and reception until quite late that night, but I'll try to write a special blog post about that, okay? Anyways, nature didn't call until 6:25am, and after one pot :P trip, I spent the ten minutes until 6:35am 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.
-One more happy hour of snoring with Daddy Bear plus one more pot :P trip, before PIG mum enters my room, dumps my clothes onto the bed, demands I get dressed without assistance and storms out. I comply, after first giving myself fifteen more minutes.
-PIG mum finishes with Elf's AFO and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. After one quick tinkle, I 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 slice of bread with the merest dab of butter and yummy strawberry jam ever, one mug of yummy mint drinking chocolate, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water, which I'll admit to holding 'incorrectly' and draining for PIG mum while she's upstairs changing. I also continue my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him to please help me get through today okay.
-After breakfast, I let PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk out to the 4WD and she tootled us off to church. Of course, she gleefully forced poor Em to buckle her own seatbelt and nor would she lemme listen to any music, but I spent this short trip with both eyes closed and finished off my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel.
-At church, I used the loo once myself then let PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk into the classroom.
-Uncle William led Bible study today, about Stephen, the first Christian martyr. 
-Afterwards, I used the loo once more by myself, grabbed some morning tea (two mini quiches and one slice of sushi) and sat down. Thanks to Aunty Joanne who randomly passed me another slice of sushi. :o)
-When the bell was rung, I let PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk upstairs into the main hall. Actually, before that, I went to the loo once more, before walking myself slowly and safely to my usual seat, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
-Yay, I got to stay seated again for worship. :o) I sang everything today, plus the harmony for one song, but like every other week, meant absolutely nothing.
-Speaker today was some guy from BST! His sermon topic was something like 'Hard For Man; Easy For God'.
-Afterwards, I asked Julz was she free for lunch together, and she was! Destination: Springwood Fasta Pasta~
-Phew! I haveta thank Julz from saving me from my first this year! I hadn't noticed that Erf's shoelace was unties, tripped over it and almost fell backwards to hit the ground, had it not been for Julz who was there to catch me! ><"
-Vinnie (two lunch specials), Lisa, Joey, Tony, Dr. Banana, Julz and I met for lunch. Julz and I both had fettucine cabonara (I got lotsa parmesan cheese over mine, yay!); I also drank an iced chocolate and enjoyed two slices of cheesy garlic bread. Over eating, Vinnie and Julz talked about methods of suicide! o_O Vinnie also told me that he was still @ uni, and taught little kids how to swim, and that he could teach from babies but preferred kids who were @ least five coz by that age, they were more understanding. Lisa told me her surname was actually just Li, but that she changed it to Lisanthus on her Facebook account, to prevent potential employers from stalking her; how clever!
-After lunch, Julz tootled me home. I went and did a stinky unspeakable, but letting PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk outside, where I let her gleefully force poor Ela to bring down all the day's washing.
-After that was done, 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.
-Nature's called twice more since then; both times, I took myself again slowly and safely to the loo and back, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
-Doubt I can return online tonight, me almost reaching the PISSY two hours of net time PIG mum so gleefully restricts me to, so toms:
-late morning UQ physio with Jake. Afterwards, I'm staying behind about one extra hour for Kate to do some more filming of Ela!
-Dunno if Mr. Jennings will be free for lunch so late; if not, PIG mum will go get my showbag from him, then hopefully take me to somewhere yummy for lunch~
-Doubtless I've got a massage appointment with Lei shifu toms arvo.
-Then Carol's coming to supervise my shower around 4pm.
-Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Saturday Post 165

Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's been hard @ work plodding 1653 steps today (remembering that like 656 of those steps were plodded last night @ Pole's place for small group; Omron very proudly reports that 1627 steps also equals thirty-two kcal or 640m XD) and secondly, TWFT topic's 'Love Your Church - Jesus Does! (6)' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm still owed ONE HOUR and ONE MINUTE online after I get back home from the wedding reception tonight!! But just notind down that Ray led Bible study for small group @ Pole's place last night, then this morning, we went and attended Kwany's and Meow Meow's wedding!!! My only gripe was that the Pastor officiating the ceremony didn't say "You may kiss the bride". XD Arvo tea doubled as lunch; originally, I'd gotten myself two yummy platefuls of awesome food, only for dad to snatch away 2/3 of the second plateful! >< Meaning I can only say I had 1 and 1/3 platefuls ... hmph. Roxana will come supervise my shower @ 4pm (she's just added me on Facebook; she uses this really strange name?) then tonight, we're going to the wedding reception; I can't wait to hear all the speeches!! As for toms, it's just church, nothing special. Hopefully Pastor Grace can take me and someone else (maybe Janice?) to this cafe for lunch that serves mint green tea frappes!! Righteo, hope to see everyone @ church toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
P.S. Roxana arrived four minutes early today, when she rang the doorbell I walked myself slowly and safely to the front door and let her in, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
P.P.S. After Meow Meow :P and Kwany's wedding reception, my final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4107, remembering that like 656 of those steps were done Friday night @ Pole's place for small group. One great thing about Omron's that he's got a seven day memory and I can check back! Hence why I wasn't pissed the parents wouldn't lemme back online to record my final, final plodding total for Saturday; besides, I poured myself ONE WHOLE MUG of FULL CREAM MILK before hitting the sack. XD

One find good evening! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands at 3060. Am at small group right now, so hope everyone has a smashing wweekend!

Cheers
Em. ^^

Friday Post 197c

Good evening, and probably one final greeting for tonight! Em's probable final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 1162. Like I've said in Friday Post 197b, I'll try figure out how to find where Omron keeps the figure for the distance I've plodded and the kilocalories I've burned toms. XD Anyways, probable final, final events for tonight?
-After playing Lumosity for PIG mum, I took myself once more slowly and safely to the loo and back, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
-Off to Pole's again for small group tonight. Not sure why; thought we alternated weeks between Pole's and Ray's place, but I'm not questioning, coz there aren't stairs @ Pole's place! We're just doing Bible study~
-Toms: hoping for good weather, coz I'm attending Kwany's and Meow Meow's WEDDING! :D It doesn't start until midday, but PIG mum says we're to eat lunch beforehand, as a sumptuous arvo tea will be provided. So just hoping for a good sleep-in toms; also hoping that PIG mum'll help me get kitted properly, coz I seriously don't wanna attend such an important event looking all topsy-turvy! ><
-Roxana's coming to supervise my shower @ 4pm. Must remember to tell her how Amee failed to find me a carer on Thursday. ><
-Then @ night, we're attending the wedding reception; can't wait for the speeches! Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing weekend!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Friday Post 197b

Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for Friday! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 1138. Toms, if I find the time, I really should fiddle with Omron and see if I can find where he stores the distance I've plodded and the kilocalories I've burnt. XD Anyways, potential final, final events for Friday?
-Luckily, PIG mum was around when Aunty Lucia announced her arrival @ 3:57pm. I stayed online till 4pm before heading into the bathroom for my nice hot shower - I washed my hair today, but thanks to Aunty Lucia who rinsed it out for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
-I had one tinkle before I flipped the nice hot water off, got dried, very lightly creamed creamed and rekitted. Then I went over to the loo for one quick tinkle, go to wash and dry Era, then let Aunty Lucia Force me to walk out to the gobbling :P table.
-Arvo tea is the yummy sushi I bought during lunch, plus one mug of mint green tea, my official mug for today to hold 'incorrectly'.
-Before Aunty Lucia leaves, I use the loo once more.
-Anyways, fingers crossed I can bbl once more tonight with my final, final plodding total for Friday, the final, final events for today, the final, final spam count for the week plus what's happening toms, else hope everyone has a smashing weekend!
Cheers,

Friday Post 197

Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's been hard @ work plodding 1011 steps today; secondly, TWFT topic's 'Love Your Church - Jesus Does! (5) and thirdly, the spam count for the week's thirteen, but fourthly and way most importantly, I'm still owed THIRTY MINUTES online after Aunty Lucia leaves!!! Anyways, events for today?
~I used the pot :P once last night and once more around 6:35am, before spending the ten minutes till 6:45am having 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.
-Happy snorings with Daddy Bear continue for one more hour, me waking briefly to kiss dearest dad goodbye when he leaves for work and use the pot :P once more.
-Another hour of happy snorings, plus one more pot :P trip for me around 9am, before PIG mum enters my room, dumps all my clothes on the bed, demand I get dressed without assistance and flounces back out. I manage well today! "By my own strength," is the motto I'm currently living by; I understand PIG mum's only into praising God for anything I can accomplish, but I'm giving credit where it's due, and I haven't seen God helping me since He so wantonly destroyed my life with the disabling brain tumour.
-PIG mum returns ages later (I've sung all ninety-nine bottles of beer on the wall, plus that never ending song almost ten times) and finishes with my footwear, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. PIG mum found some new electric toothbrush to use! After draining one mug of water holding the cup 'incorrectly', I go and do a stinky unspeakable, also fully leaning against the side rail, continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel and asking him to please help me have a good day today.
-Finished, I walk over to wash and dry both hands before I let PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk out to the gobbling :P table. Breakfast is one slice of toast with the merest dab of butter and yummy strawberry jam ever, one mug of yummy mint drinking chocolate, all my usual drugs :P and another mug of water.
-After breakfast, I let PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk out to the 4WD and she tootles me off to UQ for physio. We listen to Westlife's 'Love Album' all day, and of course, she gleefully forces poor Em to buckle her own seatbelt all day. While she drives, I keep both eyes closed and finish my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, then, opening both eyes somewhere along Coronation Drive, Era helps Ela stretch for five minutes before Ela opens and closes her palm fifty times, holding each for a count of five.
-At UQ, I make my own way along the hallway, when suddenly I bump into Alan! He practises walking while holding Ela, but I bid him farewell @ the loo. After one quick trip, I make my way slowly and safely into the gym, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
-Physio today: weight bearing for Elf and Ela, reaching for Era, 102 sit-to-stands! Pincer and piano work for Ela.
-Afterwards, I use the loo once more then PIG mum drives us back to Warrigal Square. While she drives, Era helps Ela stretch for fifteen minutes, before Ela opens and closes her palm 100 times, holding each for a count of five.
-Before having lunch @ the Sushi Train, first I haveta let PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk through Woolies and buy lamb, broccoli and milk.
-There's a short wait before we get booth seats; I order my usual kaarage udon and PIG mum gets the mini wagyu beef mini udon after learning they've already run outta the ginger pork mini udon.
-Afterwards, PIG mum tootles us home. I use the loo once more (of course, she gleefully forces me to do everything myself), before I walk myself slowly and safely online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
-Well, Aunty Lucia should come supervise my shower in like thirty minutes.
-Fingers crossed I can bbl after she leaves, else:
-Off to Pole's for small group tonight~
-Toms: hopefully the weather will wake awesome, coz toms we're attending Meow Meow's and Kwany's WEDDING! It's not till midday, so hopefully I can sleep-in like I usually get to every Saturday! I'm also hoping PIG mum will help me get properly kitted for the event, coz I'd hate to attend the wedding all back-to-front! >< Actually, if the wedding doesn't start till midday; I'm presuming we eat lunch before going ... well, fingers crossed for some yummy lunch, then!
-Roxana will come supervise my shower around 4pm.
-Then @ night, we're off to the reception!
-So fingers crossed I can bbl after Aunty Lucia leaves, else hope everyone has a smashing weekend!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Thursday Post 197c

Good evening! Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 1552. See, tolda you I'd pass one grand. XD Anyways, continuing tonight's events?
-Just before 6pm, dad tootled me off to the Garbo library for book launch! PIG mum got me kitted in slightly more formal wear first, though.
-Dad found a parking spot underground, we caught the lift up into the library then I grabbed a seat to the most left, only I had to move one seat in when dad refused to sit to my right. "Coz I'm tall-ish, and I'll block the view of the people behind me; it's better that I sit on the edge." Fair enough.
-Boyd introduced the Councillor, who gave a short speech, read out Nancy's contribution about learning to drive in her sixties, then got Bob to read out his story. Actually, Bob only read part of it; he left the rest as a cliffhanger so we'd all read it after getting home!
-There was even supper afterwards! Mrs. Mole kindly got me some, after asking was I a sweet or a savoury person." I told her sweet, please, and she came back with a lil bunch of green seedless grapes, some muffin-ish thing and one little chunk of chocolate brownie. Dad popped over with one plastic mug of apple juice for me, which I drained even though 'twas yucky (I prefer orange juice XD) then he went, sat slightly behind me and started browsing the anthology! I sat and chatted with Bob (who used to teach ancient history @ Cvendish Road State High) and Warren, who regaled us both with tales of when he was younger.
-Afterwards, dad tootled us home and cooked dinner for us while I read Elantris.
-Dinner tonight: the yummy rice, lotsa lettuce and some egg and thinly sliced Spam ham. PIG mum came home around 8:25pm and said she got fish from the Glen Hotel, lucky thing. Dinner was washed down with one mug of yummy vanillla tea, which I held 'incorrectly', before 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.
-Well, PIG mum's ordering me off to shower, but won't lemme return to post my final entry! >< So, toms:
-Late morning UQ physio with Jake.
-Fingers crossed PIG mum'll take me somewhere yummy for lunch like Sunnybank Oriental!
-Aunty Lucia will come supervise my shower around 4pm.
-And it's off to Pole's for small group toms night. Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Thursday Post 197b

Heylo again! Well, PIG mum reckons I really did only plod 658 steps today, but now I can state I've plodded 947, so hopefully by the time I return home from the anthology launch tonight it'll be over 1000! Anyways, continuing today's events?
-At 4:30pm, I took myself once slowly and safely to the loo and back, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
-Gonna watch the newest episode of Naruto now, then read the manga, then log outta everything and play Lumosity, coz I've exceeded the PISSY two hours of internet time that PIG mum so gleefully restricts me to, sigh.
-So again, fingers crossed I can bbl once more tonight, else hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Thursday Post 197

Good afternoon! Firstly, I reckon Omron's as stupid as D2, because he's only given me 658 steps today! >< TWFT topic's 'Love Your Church - Jesus Does! (4) but way most importantly, I'm still owed EIGHT MINUTES online when I get back from our anthology launch tonight!!! Anyways, events for today?
~Woohoo, another great night's sleep means I've enjoyed one straight WEEK of awesome sleeps @ night! :D Nature didn't call until 6:35am, and after one pot :P trip I spent the ten minutes till 6:45am having having 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.
-Happy snorings with Daddy Bear continue for one more hour, when I used the pot :P once more. PIG mum entered my room shortly after that, dumped my clothes onto the bed, demanded I get dressed, then stalked out. I complied, first giving myself fifteen more minutes. PIG mum came back to finish with Elf's AFO and my laces, then I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk out to the bathroom, where I brush teeth then do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail, continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel and asking him please to help me get through today.
-Afterwards, I wash and dry both hands, before letting PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk out to the gobbling :P table, where breakfast's one slice of toast with the merest dab of butter and yummy strawberry jam ever, one full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and one yummy mug of mint drinking chocolate, which I'll admit to holding 'incorrectly' and draining 'incorrectly' while PIG mum's upstairs changing. Over breakfast, I finish my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel.
-Once breakfast was finished, I let PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk out to the 4WD and she tootled me off to witers group! Of course, she gleefully forced me to buckle my own seatbelt, but I asked to listen to Westlife's Love Album first because PIG mum would drive away afterwards. While she drove, Era helped Ela stretch for ten minutes, before Ela opened and closed her palm @ least fifty times, holding each for a count of five.
-At the library, PIG mum took me once to the loo then left for work. About eleven ppl attended this morning; Carol and Pat were back! Even better, someone brought turkish delight! It's ridiculously sweet, though ...
-Afterwards, I used the loo once more, then Gabby and I linked arms and walked outside to the meeting room, where Aunty Carly was already waiting for me!
-So we linked arms and walked together to the Pancake Manor; phew, we got the last booth seat!
-I ordered the breakfast special (you can have that for lunch; it's just one dollar extra) while Aunty Carly just sipped water, saying she'd had a huge breakfast. While I ate, we both acted anti-social and just typed away on our smartphones. :P
-Afterwards, we linked arms and walked back to Aunty Carly's car together. Thanks to her who helped me buckle my seatbelt; as for me, I was so stupid that I didn't realise I wasn't wearing my sunnies until Aunty Carly turned into Gaskell St.! XD
-Back home, I turned off the alarm then went to the loo for three tinkles, also leaning fully against the rail and asking Percy again please to help me get through the rest of Thursday okay.
-Crummy news when PIG mum arrived home: Aimee said she couldn't find anyone to come supervise my shower this arvo!! >< That's especially dreadful coz I'm attending our writers group anthology launch tonight and I've gotta look decent! ><
-Anyways, will need the loo once more around 4pm; hopefully PIG mum'll lemme return online when I get back tonight, otherwise toms:
-late morning UQ physio with Jake. Must remember to ask PIG mum to please tell Jess that I really do place Ela up onto the table when there's not too much stuff lying there for her to crash into and knock over.
-Fingers crossed I can get some yummy lunch somewhere afterwards!
-Aunty Lucia will come supervise my shower around 4pm.
-And small group's @ Pole's place tonight~
-Well, will need the loo once more around 4pm, then I plan on getting my Naruto fix. XD So fingers crossed I can bbl, else hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
-PIG mum's made herself two minute noodles for lunch, taken them

Wednesday Post 197b

Heylo again, good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 5726. Personally, I thought I hiked heaps more today, but Omron's idiotic in that he doesn't work when i'm not walking along level ground! >< Anyways, final, final events for tonight?
-At 9pm, I took myself once more slowly and safely to the loo and back, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
-Toms: writers group! Aunty Carly's picking me up afterwards, and PIG mum's said we can have lunch together @ the Pancake Manor, yay!
-Hopefully, Roxana remembered to ring CODA today, and a carer will come from like 3:45pm till 5:45pm, because then I've got book club, yay!
-Well, I've almost reached the PISSY two hour time limit that PIG mum so gleefully restricts me to, so will go play Lumosity for her afterwards. And don't worry, I haven't forgotten that it's ice cream night tonight! Anyways, hope everyone's having a smashing week!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 197

Good evening! Firstly, Em's been hard @ work plodding 5564 steps today and secondly, TWFT topic's 'Love Your Church - Jesus Does! (3). Anyways, events for today?
-Woo hoo, sixth consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:35am, and after one pot :P trip, I had a having 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.
-Happy snorings with Daddy Bear continue for one more hour, when I used the pot :P once more. PIG mum entered my room shortly after that, dumped my clothes onto the bed, demanded I get dressed, then stalked out. I complied, first giving myself fifteen more minutes. PIG mum came back to finish with Elf's AFO and my laces, then I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk out to the bathroom, where I brush teeth then do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail, continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel and asking him please to help me get through today.
-Afterwards, I wash and dry both hands, before letting PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk out to the gobbling :P table, where breakfast's one slice of toast with the merest dab of butter and yummy strawberry jam ever, one full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and one yummy mug of mint drinking chocolate, which I'll admit to holding 'incorrectly' and draining 'incorrectly' while PIG mum's upstairs changing.
-Dad drives Uncle Calvin over to join us on our trip today. Uncle Calvin looks like some mafia; he strips off his jumper to reveal a tight fitting black tee with a croc printed near one shoulder and a shark near the other. XD
-Dad suggests I use the loo once first before we head out, so I walk myself slowly and safely out to the loo, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I stay for three tinkles, again fully leaning against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel.
-I climb into the backseat of the Camry and listen as all the uncles discuss our trip. Uncle Alan and family (minus Sharon) have joined us, also Uncle Tommy (Uncle Alan's friend) and his family. Afterwards, PIG mum climbs in beside me, Uncle Calvin takes the death seat, then dearest dad drives us off to the Glass House mountains! Only nature calls desperately; thankfully, we're near that huge BP place, so dad parks there and I race (well obviously, I can barely manage a walk ><) for the loo. You can imagine my consternation when I find it's actually closed for cleaning! >< Dad takes me all the way to the other side, where strangely enough there aren't any disabled toilets, but I manage okay in the normal ones.
-Unfortunately, horrid PIG mum won't lemme have second breakfast @ Maccas, so it's back into the car we get.
-At the Glass House mountains, I sat awhile inside the car, waiting for dad to set up my picnic chair so I could go sit. You can imagine my dismay when I realised he wanted to drag me up to some lookout! ><
-But there was nothing to be done but to comply. So I hiked. And hiked. And HIKED! Poor idiot Elf inverted with every step, the AFO preventing her from twisting all the way, but you can bet by the time I reached the lookout, I was in a fair amount of pain! >< But thanks to dearest dad who walked with me held Era and prevented me from falling, and Uncle Tommy, who went and attacked a tree for me when I saw that he'd taken some tree branch for a walking stick and told him I wanted one too! Dearest dad and I also managed to take several selfies together; also thanks to some random old guy who saw us and offered to take a snap for us!
-After the tremendously long hike, we went and had a BBQ! And not just any normal BBQ, but one where I tried KANGAROO meat for the first time! Thankfully, it's not gamey, just incredibly chewy! I also ate some lettuce, one chicken wing, one slice of toast with some fried egg and tuna, one slice of pork and half a Coco Pop LCM.
-And that was the day! I used the loo once more, then dad drove us back home. Lol, I was understandably buggered, coz I fell asleep and awoke thrice along the trip! The first time, PIG mum's yapping who awoke me, the second, either dearest dad/Uncle Calvin and the third time, PIG mum again. Lol, she says I always falsely accuse her, but this time, I'm justified: obviously, she yaps the most! XD
-Back home, I went once to the loo (obviously, PIG mum gleefully forced me to do everything myself), then I walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
-I did my writers group homework on 'purple'.
-PIG mum ordered I shower even before I'd finished; luckily, she was patient and waited for me to finish writing before demanding I enter the bathroom.
-So a nice hot shower for me - I washed and rinsed my hair today, dried and rekitted myself. PIG mum seriously helped with NOTHING bar Elf's AFO.
-After one more loo trip and two tinkles, I wash and dry both hands then let PIG mum gleefully FORCE :(me to walk out to the gobbling :P table, where dinner's the yummy rice plus lotsa BBQ leftovers! I eat more kangaroo. XD
-Dinner is washed down with one mug of black tea, which I'm very careful to hold 'correctly', before I let PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk back online.
-Anyways, fingers crossed I can bbl shortly after 9pm following one more loo trip with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms, else hope everyone's having a smashing week!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 164b

Heylo again, good afternoon and probably one final greeting for Tuesday! Em's probable final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 1609; D2's probable final, final report for Tuesday: 1609 steps also equals thirty-two kcal or 730m. XD Anyways, probable final, final events for Tuesday?
-Joey came and taught me pilates/random exercises for just over thirty minutes.
-After the session, I used the loo once more, walked Joey to the door then returned slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
-Roxana should come supervise my shower soon; she's taking me out to Toastmasters tonight!
-And even better, a public holiday toms means no physio!! XD Dad's taking PIG mum and I to the same mountain he went hiking with the brothers' fellowship; we're having a BBQ there with @ least our neighbours Uncle Alan (and I'm presuming, his family!)
-Must remember to do my writers group homework toms! Think the homework's 'purple'.
-And best of all, it's ice cream night toms night! like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all! Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 164

Good morning! Firstly, Em's been hard @ work plodding 1381 steps today (which Omron very proudly reports as also equaling twenty-seven kcal or 540m XD) and secondly, TWFT topic's 'Love Your Church - Jesus Does! (2)' but thirdly and most importantly, I'm gonna be owed lotsa time online after lunch coz I didn't come online till 11:40am!! Actually, it's rare that I can post in the morning! XD Anyways, events for today?
~Woohoo, fifth consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:05am, and after one pot :P trip, I spent the ten minutes till 6:15am having a having 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.
-Happy snorings with Daddy Bear continue for one more hour, until dearest dad comes and kisses me goodbye before leaving for work. I use the pot :P once more then immediately start counting down my fifteen more minutes, knowing that PIG mum would come very soon.
-Sure enough, with 12.5 minutes remaining, PIG mum comes in, dumps my clothes onto my bed, demands I get dressed without assistance for her and exits. I comply; after enjoying my remaining 12.5 minutes snuggled with Daddy Bear first.
-PIG mum returns to put on Elf's AFO and tie my shoelaces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk out to the bathroom to brush teeth.While I'm there, I also use the loo once for two tinkles. It's normal, right, to use the toilet after you get up from bed? Coz while I was sitting over the loo doing my business, PIG mum suddenly yanks open the door and threatens, "If you don't come out right now, I'm leaving without you." Which only made me laugh inside, coz I was thinking, did she plan on driving to Dr. Vu's private clinic @ Cooparoo and then explaining to him, "Oh, I left my daughter on the toilet, but you can check my eyes for me!" XD
-Anyways, my business over the loo done, I go to wash and dry Era before making my way slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
-Breakfast was one slice of toast with the merest dab of butter and yummy strawberry jam ever, one full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and one yummy mug of mint drinking chocolate. Over breakfast, while PIG mum was upstairs changing, I continued and finished my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay.
-Afterwards, I let PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk out to the 4WD, and she tootled me off to see Dr. Vu. Of course, she gleefully forced poor Em to buckle her own seatbelt all day; we also listened to radio's 97.3FM all day, too. While PIG mum drove, Era helped Ela stretch for fifteen minutes, before Ela opened and closed her palm 100 times, holding each for a count of five.
-Dr. Vu's private clinic isn't very assessable - there are stairs! But @ least there were railings on both sides, meaning I managed them fine. The bigger problem was when the receptionist told PIG mum that some guy was currently repairing the toilet, and there weren't any others around!! >< I sat down, determined to sit tight and not let the cruel and unfaithful God make me piss myself. Luckily, I was saved with the revelation that there was a toilet available, up two steps and no rail, but hey. I got to empty my bladder, phew!
-Lol, PIG mum's observed that Dr. Vu's always very cool, very reserved ... but he seem lots more relaxed today? Guess 'twas coz he was @ his private practice. Anyways, he quickly checked my reading ability (stare @ letters on chart) then looked through my right eye with his fancy equipment. While he did so, I regaled him with my story of how I discovered where the second head of the Tasmanian's went. XD I also asked would there be any way for me to close my right eye but he explained that outside of hanging a weight on it to pull it down, no. :o( Then he said to come back and see him one year later.
-Afterwards, PIG mum tootled us to Maccas for second breakfast! Lol, I feel like a hobbit. XD We shared one breakkie wrap with egg, bacon and tomato, one small hash brown and one small orange juice. Much thanks to the guy sitting beside me who left me his copy of today's Australian that he was reading; also thanks to PIG mum who then got me today's copy of the Courier Mail to browse.
-Did I use the loo once more before leaving for Vincent the bloody physio's? Don't think so, but can't honestly remember ... anyways, while PIG mum drove, Era again helped Ela stretch for fifteen minutes, before Ela again opened and closed her palm 100 times, holding each for a count of five.
-Physio today: sat first go, then stood entire session. Walked around room, bent to floor for Ela to pick up objects and place them elsewhere. Ela also opened loo door and held onto rail @ end.
-Afterwards, PIG mum tootled us home then rushed inside, saying her tummy was sore. I made my way slowly and safely to the computer, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. PIG mum demanded I go turn the light switch on; I honestly thought drawing the curtains open let enough sunlight in! But I did that slowly and safely a second time, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
-Hmm, it's already past 1pm now ... wonder when PIG mum'll come down and feed me lunch? Coz she's already said that Joey's coming around 3pm to teach me pilates for thirty minutes; must speak to her and ask her not to come on the 2nd, 4th and 5th Tuesdays of every month, coz I'm @ Toastmasters then and 2pm-4pm's strictly my internet time!!
-Roxana's taking me out to Toastmasters tonight! Must find out which room we're in, and also fingers crossed that PIG mum'll lemme bring back something for dinner from Maccas!
-Toms: Ekka public holiday means no UQ physio for me!! :D Dad's gonna take PIG mum and I to the mountain he trekked with our church's brothers' fellowship for a BBQ! Our neighbour Uncle Alan's going; I wonder will anyone else come also?
-Almost forgot! Checking for whether Chicago Fire's airing tonight~
-And best of all, it's ice cream night toms night! Like I keep saying, a very little's better than none @ all!
-Ooh, and I may be in tomorrow's Southern Star; check it out! But will papers get delivered during public holidays? Dunno; anyways, hope everyone has a smashing week toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Monday Post 164c

One final good evening! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 7445. I'll try figure out does Omron provide distanced walked and kilocalories burned like D2 did toms. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?
-Sudden mind blank: what was arvo tea?? XD Oh, the second half of the yummy chicken katsudon I'd had for lunch, plus one mug of mint green tea, my official mug for today to hold 'incorrectly'.
-Carol cleaned the bathroom then sat and gently massaged Ela for only just over ten minutes coz we arrived home late today. If PIG mum rubs Elf tonight, Era will massage Ela back the twenty minutes she's owed.
-Before leaving, Carol took me once more to the loo for two tinkles. I won't see her again till next Monday, coz Wednesday's the Ekka public holiday!
-I returned happily but unfortunately briefly online. PIG mum spoiled the show by tumbling downstairs from pigland, gleefully and immediately booting me offline. I tried using the bathroom once first because nature was calling, but instead, she randomly chucked some spiteful cow and wouldn't let me! >< Never mind, I told myself theres no way I'd let the cruel and unfaithful God make me piss myself.
-So first I let her gleefully force poor Ela on 30+ minutes of stupid activities for her, all the while letting the parents endlessly bitch @ me. ><
-Then I had to let both parents combine and gleefully FORCE :( me to plod 800 steps on the bloody cross trainer for them.
-After one more loo trip, dinner was the yummy rice, lotsa dearest dad's home-grown crunchy beans and home-grown bok choy, some yummy tomato and egg, but no meat! When I asked PIG mum had she forgotten to cook any, she just bitched @ me some more. Add to that the fact that dad ate dinner on the sofa by himself (another fact that PIG mum also blames me for, but hey, I understand: EVERYTHING'S ALWAYS MY FAULT) means that for the second consecutive night, I'm gonna sing myself to sleep tonight, SCREW counting! ><
-Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of beef, goji berry and sth soup, before I walked myself slowly and safely back online, rsing above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
-At 9pm, I went once more slowly and safely to the loo and back, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
-Toms: instead of going to the PA's eye clinic, I've got some appointment @ Dr. Vu's private clinic! The appointment's early, alas, meaning I don't get to sleep in toms. :o( But if the appointment finishes early, maybe PIG mum'll take me for breakfast @ Maccas, or maybe if the appointment runs really late, I'll skip my torture session with Vincent the bloody physio! So, that won't happen, but a girl can dream, right?? XD
-Fingers crossed that I can get some yummy lunch @the Calamvale BBQ and Chinese restaurant afterwards!
-Also fingers crossed Joey won't come teach me pilates toms arvo, coz Roxana's taking me out to Toastmasters toms night and I need my most important two hours online!!!
-Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Monday Post 164b

Heylo and good evening again! Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 6434; ha, Omron reckons I'm more than half a normal person today. XD Anyways, continuing today's events?
-I wake once more for the pot :P before mother comes in, dumps all my clothes onto the bed and demand I get dressed. I protest: last night she had agreed to help me get dressed this morning, because after my physio I was getting filmed/pictured for some physio going overseas presenting @ some conference! Huh, awful PIG mum denied ever saying that, and left me to struggle with getting dressed. Well, it took three attempts to get my tee the right way on, but I've learnt to say, "by my own power, by my own strength" to remind myself that I can indeed do all these things by myself and that the cruel and unfaithful God seriously doesn't help me whatsoever!
-PIG mum came back and finished with Elf's AFO and both shoelaces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk out to the bathroom to brush teeth. After using the loo once, I walked 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.
-Was breakfast thinly sliced banana on bread with the merest drizzle of yummy maple syrup ever? Maybe; I also drank one yummy mug of mint drinking chocolate, popped all my usual drugs :P with one full mug of water, and continued my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking Him please to help me get through today okay.
-After breakfast, I let PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk out to the 4WD, and she tootled me off to UQ for physio. Of course, she gleefully forced poor Em to buckle her own seatbelt all day; she also chose to listen to radio's 97.3FM first, too, not that I really noticed, coz I spent most of this trip with both eyes closed and finishing off my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Then, opening both eyes somewhere along Coronation Drive, Era helps Ela stretch for five minutes before Ela opens and closes her palm fifty times, holding each for a count of five.
-PIG mum's overjoyed to find a parking spot; she catches the lift up with me into level two then I bid her bye and make my way slowly and safely into the NAB, using the loo once first, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
-Physio today: sixteen laps walking along hallway, weight shifting, stepping for both feet and cone work for Ela. Then more assessment for Ela. Why I'm suspicious Omron doesn't really work: I walked SIXTEEN laps today but he'd only given me like 1800 steps!
-Afterwards, PIG mum took me once to the loo then tootled me back to Garbo. While she drove, Era helped Ela stretch for fifteen minutes, before Ela opened and closed her palm 100 times, holding each for a count of five.
-At Garbo, I let PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk into the downstairs food court, where she returned with one regular sized bowl of yummy chicken katsudon for me that would also double as my arvo tea. She herself ate takoyaki balls, like, eww!
-After lunch, I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk through Coles to buy some tuna; I presume that's my lunch on Wednesday coz I think I've finished all the dumplings I made with Aunty Deana ages ago.
-Before entering Chi-Link, I visited the loo once. Today PIG mum had a massage from Ian while I was getting one from Lei shifu. Lol, she sure loves to yak; @ one point during my massage, Lei shifu leaned in close and whispered "I can hear your mum blah blah blah!" XD
-One more loo trip for me before PIG mum tootled us home. While she drove, Era helped Ela stretch for five/ten minutes, before Ela opened and closed her palm fifty/seventy-five times, holding each for a count of five.
-Back home, Carol was already waiting (it was about 4:18pm). I headed into the bathroom for my nice hot shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today.
-I had one tinkle before I flipped the nice hot water off, mostly dried myself (Carol helped with only my back and Era), mostly creamed myself (again, Carol helped with only my back and Era) then mostly rekitted myself (Carol only helped with Elf's AFO). Then I headed over to the loo and leaning fully against the side rail, sang like forty percent of my shorter second-favourite song slowly, silently but most hatefully to the cruel and unfaithful God. Carol came back, finished with my laces, then I let her Force me to walk out to the kitchen to prepare arvo tea.
-Hey, brb!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Monday Post 164

Good evening! Firstly, Em's been hard @ work plodding 3224 steps today (I'm not really convinced Omron - my new step counter - is accurate, because you can't clip him anywhere and today I did crazy amounts of walking) and secondly, TWFT topic's 'Love Your Church - Jesus Does! (1)' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'll definitely be owed some time online after dinner tonight, coz I didn't get on until like 6:05pm!! Anyways, events for today?
~Woohoo, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:35am, and after one pot :P trip, I spend the ten minutes till 6:45am having a having 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.
-Happy snorings with Daddy Bear continue for one more hour, until dearest dad comes and kisses me goodbye before leaving for work. I resume happy snor - argh, fingers crossed I can bbl, because I'm still owed ONE HOUR and NINETEEN MINUTES online!!! ><
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Sunday Post 164c

Good evening and one final greeting for tonight, but ARGH, idiot D2 randomly reset himself; I'm supposed to have 900+ more steps since Sunday Post 164b, but he's only given me eighty-three!! >< PIG mum's fed up with him also; right now, she's trying to figure out some new one she randomly got from her Asia miles points thing. Hopefully I'll get more accurate totals toms! Goodnite all; hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Sunday Post 164b

Heylo again! Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2118, which D2 very proudly reports as also equaling still forty-seven kcal but 920m. XD Anyways, continuing events for today?
-After breakfast, I walked myself slowly and safely out to the 4WD, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. PIG mum gleefully forced me to buckle my own seatbelt then tootled us off to church; while she did so, I kept both eyes closed and finished off my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel.
-At church, I used the loo once, then let PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk into the classroom.
-Uncle Eddy taught from Acts chapters four and five today; huge thanks to Izzy who passed me one little wad of chewing gum! Lol, I wasn't sure was it a mint or some chewing gum, so I scrawled the question on my sheet and was about to slide it over to izzy, when Huldah (who was sitting beside me), glanced over, saw the question and tapped 'chewing gum'. XD
-Afterwards, I went again to the loo, grabbed some morning tea then sat near the stairs. Actually, I'd just walked out, but not seeing PIG mum anywhere, just braced against the wall. Luckily, June just happened to wander past and she gave me a hand to some seat. Originally, I was gonna grab some morning tea, but June was like, "You sit; I'll duck into the kitchen and grab you some." She returned with one packet of Arnott's Nice bikkies and I munched two.

-When the bell was rung I hiked upstairs and sat in my usual seat @ the back, most left.
-Yay, I got to stay seated for worship again~ I sang everything, plus the harmony for two/three songs, but like every week, meant absolutely nothing.
-Speaker today was Pastor Chris; his sermon was from Haggai.
-Following Kwany's advice, I took the initiative and asked Esther was she free for lunch together, and she was! So I went myself to the loo once more then sat just inside the hall waiting for Esther. Kwany wandered over for a chat and said for his bucks party he'd had to do some high ropes course; apparently, he's not the best with heights? Well, I can sympathise: I'm TERRIFIED of heights! XD
-Esther walked me outside then went to get her car, while I braced against a pole. Dr. Lee wandered over and said I was being a koala. XD
-We went to Cafe Mi! Phew, there was a disabled parking spot available and Esther decided we'd sit inside.
-Yay, the Asian meal was my favourite: fish fillet with creamy corn sauce in rice! I was impressed coz it came with several peas! I drank a cold milk tea with that; Esther got herself one plateful of fried dumplings. We traded one dumpling and one chunk of fish~
-I was careful not to talk much; PIG mum's always @ me to listen. Only it kinda seemed like Esther was evangelising/giving me another sermon ... Aunty Susan also wandered over to say hi~
-Afterwards, Esther tootled me home and while I used the downstairs bathroom, I used the upstairs one, before walking myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
-Alas, PIG mum tumbled downstairs, gleefully and immediately forcing me offline and gleefully FORCED :( me to walk outside, where she gleefully forced poor Ela to bring down all the day's washing.
-Back inside, I returned online, and the parents have taken a walk together. Dad's left me with the home phone.
-At 5:35pm, I took myself once more slowly and safely to the loo and back, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
-Doubt I can return online later, coz I've almost reached the PISSY two hours online that PIG mum so gleefully restricts me to, so toms:
-Late morning UQ physio with Jake. *sigh* I can't trust him anymore, not with Jess forbidding him to walk behind me ... ><
-Only I'm staying back for another thirty minutes coz Jess wants to tape how Ela functions now to show some kinda conference!
-Meaning PIG mum's already rung Chi-Link and pushed back my massage appointment with Lei shifu. Hopefully I can get some yummy lunch from Hanaichi first, though.
-And Carol's coming to supervise my shower around 4pm. Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Sunday Post 164

Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's been hard @ work plodding 1894 steps today (which D2 very proudly reports as also equaling forty-three kcal or 830m XD); secondly, TWFT topic's 'Believe in Yourself - God Does!' and thirdly, the spam count for the weekend's seven. Righteo, events for today?
~Woohoo, awesome sleep last night! nature didn't call until 6:40am, and after one pot :P trip, I spent the ten minutes till 6:50am having a having 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.
-Happy snorings with Daddy Bear continue, plus one more pot :P trip for me around 7:20am, before PIG mum pokes me awake, dumps my clothes on the bed, tells me to get dressed and stalks back out.
-Awesome, today I manage to get myself kitted the right way up. ;) PIG mum finishes with Elf's AFO and laces, and I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk out to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I use the loo once afterwards, 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 was half a chunk of dad's big crusty bread (PIG mum had the other half), one full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and one yummy mug of mint drinking chocolate, which I'll admit to holding 'incorrectly' and draining while PIG mum was upstairs changing.
-Argh, fingers crossed I can bbl, coz I'm still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-TWO MINUTES online!!! ><
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Saturday Post 164d

One final good evening! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2160, remembering that like 656 of those steps were plodded @ Pole's house last night; D2's final, final report for tonight: 2160 steps also equals twenty-four kcal or 630m. XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?
-At 9pm, I went and did all the dishes. (1) Standing's the hardest for me (post brain injury, I even shower sitting in a showerchair) and (2) the parents always gleefully force poor Ela to do all the scrubbing! ><
-After I finished that, I went once more to the loo before walking myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
-Toms: again, just church, definitely nothing special. Fingers crossed I can find someone to lunch with afterwards, because I'm pretty sure it's just a lonely arvo staring @ the computer screen for me ... hey, maybe I can find someone to watch a movie with together ... :o) Anyways, hope to see everyone @ church toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Saturday Post 164c

Good evening again! Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 1837 (which D2 very proudly reports as also equaling still eighteen kcal but 490m. XD) but much more importantly, I'm still owed FORTY MINUTES online after I wash tonight's dishes! >< Anyways, continuing tonight's events?
-Arvo tea was the second half of the yummy bun i'd bought from Breadtop with Roxana two days ago, plus one mug of some kinda green tea, my official mug for today to hold 'incorrectly'.
-Annette cleaned the bathroom, then sat and masaged Ela for thirty minutes, painting her black with red spots today.
-Before leaving two hours exactly after she'd arrived, Annette took me once more to the loo for two tinkles. She's back next Saturday; I presume that means Roxana's coming both Tuesday and Thursday.
-I returned happily online. After both parents came downstairs and dad called dinner, I took myself once more slowly and safely to the loo before joining them @ the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
-8sigh* Dunno what was with PIG mum, but she randomly chucked some awful spiteful cow @ me tonight. >< I refuse to get mad with her though; I know it's just the cruel and unfaithful God trying to ruin my great day. I'll just rise above his hatred and totally ignore Him.
-Dinner tonight: the yummy rice, lotsa yummy wombok, some fish, some beef brisket and some 'fun si' (say that in Canto). for some reason, horrid PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk over to the kitchen and pour myself one mug of water; for that, I VERY DELIBERATELY held the mug 'incorrectly'.
-Then 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.
-Argh, dad demands I wash the dishes @ 8pm; it's like the parents refuse to understand how hard standing's for me now! ><
-So fingers crossed I can bbl after doing that and using the loo once more with my final, final plodding total for Saturday, the final, final events for tonight but what's happening on Sunday, else hope to see everyone @ church toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Saturday Post 164b

Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, TWFT topic's 'Living for the Right Reasons' and secondly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 1766, remembering that like 656 of those steps were plodded @ Pole's last night for small group. D2 very proudly reports that 1766 steps also equals eighteen kcal or 460m. XD Anyways, continuing today's events?
-Cass came just after 1pm; we went instead to the Underwood Coffee Club instead of the Pancake Manor, coz Cass said it'd be uber crowded over the weekend.
-Instead of getting my favourite eggs benedict, I chose a chicken club burger! I wanted a thickshake, was aghast to see that PIG mum hadn't even left me enough money to afford an orange juice, but giant thanks to Cass who said, "No probs, i'll get that for you." She herself got some healthy breakfast and drank an iced lemon tea.
-Over lunch, we just chatted. I told Cass about my funny conversations with shifu Lei, and she told me that she does lotsa house sitting and her family's planning to get a new female labrador called Bella!
-After lunch, Cass dropped me back off home and I went once more to the loo (of course, PIG mum gleefully forced me to do everything myself) before walking myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
-When Annette announced her arrival five minutes late, I walked myself slowly and safely to the front door and let her in, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
-So a nice hot shower for me today - I washed and rinsed my own hair.
-I had one tinkle before I flipped the nice hot water off, mostly dried myself (Annette helped only with my back and Era), mostly creamed myself (Annette kindly helped with my back, Era and both calves) then mostly rekitted myself (Annette helped only with Elf's AFO and my shoelaces. Then I went over to the loo, and after asking Annette please for one mug of water - my fourth for today to hold 'incorrectly', - I did another stinky unspeakable, also leaning - hey, fingers crossed I can bbl, coz I'm still owed ONE HOUR and FIVE MINUTES online!!! ><
Cheers,

Friday Post 196d

Good evening, and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 3188; D2's final, final report for Friday: 3188 steps also equals sixty-nine kcal or 1.39km. XD Oh, and the final, final spam count for the week's twenty. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?
-At 6pm, right after finishing Friday Post 196c, I took myself once more slowly and safely to the loo and back, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
-Off to Pole's house tonight for small group tonight. We're farewelling Ben, who's off to Korea for @ least six months! Pole Whatssapped me, telling me to bring some Aussie snacks; yesterday I went to Garbo with Roxana and bought two packets of Tim Tams.
-Toms: It'll be my last shift together with Rhi! I've written her a thank-you card, and PIG mum's got her a small girly gift.
-Must remember to text Annette tonight and ask her to please come earlier to supervise my shower, coz we're attending Kwany's and Mel Mel's wedding toms before attending their reception @ night!
-Unfortunately, must now let PIG mum gleefully force me on goodness knows how long of stupid exercises for her. ><
-Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing weekend!
Cheers,
Em. ^^


Friday Post 196c

A third greeting! Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 3072, which D2 very proudly announces also equals sixty-seven kcal or 1.34m. XD Again, continuing events for today?
-At UQ, I caught the lift up onto level two myself, then went once to the loo. Lol, there was this guy who I've seen several times there also, seeing that I was obviously disabled, he asked me did I need any help. Dunno was he planning to get me a wheelchair or what, but I said no thanks, I'd manage fine and ducked into the loo. After that, I walked myself slowly and safely into the NAB, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God and not letting Him push me over.
-I remembered not to lean against the wall, only having Era lightly trailing it, but Jess still made me return to the entrance and walk it again. I asked Jake to stay behind me and he said he would, so I repeated the walk into the gym. Only when I'd made it inside, did Jess get me to turn around and see that Jake was still over by the entrance! "Guess that means I can't trust you anymore," I told Jake sadly. "You said you'd stay behind me, but you didn't." Jess replied, "Oh, it's not his fault. Jake was gonna follow you back in, but I motioned for him not to. But he's fast and would definitely have caught you if you'd started to fall." But still ... :o(
-Physio today: eight bearing for Elf and Ela, reaching for Era, pincer work and cone work for Ela. 'Twas only a forty minute session today, coz I'd come late from the photoshoot.
-Afterwards, PIG mum tootled us off to Sunnybank Oriental for lunch, although before that, I had to let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk through Coles and buy groceries. Alas, neither set meal suited my tastes today; instead, I chose the Peking pork spare ribs with rice and shared PIG mum's cold milk tea with her.
-When PIG mum tootled us home, Era helped Ela stretch for ten minutes before Ela opened and closed her palm @ least fifty times, holding each for a count of five. Back home, I went once to the loo (of course, PIG mum gleefully forced me to do everything myself) before I walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
-Alas, horrid PIG mum decided to gleefully FORCE :( me to walk outside and gleefully force poor Ela to take down all the washing. It's like she refuses to understand how hard standing's for me. ><
-Aunty Ling came almost ten minutes early today, but I stayed online till precisely 4pm before heading into the bathroom for my nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Aunty Ling who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. While I washed, she told me that's she's got a thirteen/fourteen year old girl who studies @ Mansfield State High, a little boy in grade one @ Mackenzie State Primary, while her husband does IT/accounting stuff from home.
-I had one tinkle before Aunty Ling flipped the nice hot water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Aunty Ling rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was doing Elf's AFO straps and one last one when she was washing my glasses for me.
-I let Aunty Ling Force me to walk out to the gobbling :P table, where arvo tea was half of the yummy teriyaki bacon bun I'd bought yesterday with Roxana @ Garbo plus one mug of mint green tea, my official mug for today to hold 'incorrectly'. Then I wrote out a thank-you card for Rhi.
-After Aunty Ling left, I walked myself slowly and safely back to the computer, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
-Anyways, nature's calling now, so fingers crossed I can brb after one final loo trip with my final, final plodding total for Friday, the final, final spam count for the week, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms, else hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Friday Post 196b

Heylo again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 2855 (which D2 very proudly also reports as also equaling as still sixty-one kcal but 1.25km XD) but secondly and way more importantly, I'm still owed THIRTY-THREE MINUTES online after Aunty Ling leaves @ 5pm!!! Anyways, continuing today's events?
-When Rob arrives, I let PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk to his car. Rob's a gentleman and even opens the door for me! To show rob the power she's got over me, PIG mum gleefully forced me to buckle my own seatbelt, but I didn't really mind, coz 'twas daytime and I could see just fine.
-So Rob tootled us off to Boyd's house somewhere in Wishart, telling me about his trip to Singapore with his wife back in the seventies. He was a handyman by trade and still is, actually, he'd just finished some painting work for the eaves of his house.
-At Boyd's place, Boyd gave me a hand in. At first, I noted that he had a house like Ray's, with stairs going up into the main living area but the stairs went up the left hand side and my  heart plummeted, but thankfully Boyd directed me straight into the living room, where I crashed onto a couch and chatted with Eileen until the newspaper lady arrived.
-She briefly interviewed each of us; why we'd joined the group, etc. I told her how I'd done NaNoWri Mo back in 2012 and she gave me her business card, asking me to e-mail her a copy coz she wanted a read.
-After the reporter left, nature suddenly called and thanks to Boyd who helped me once to the loo, where I managed fine by myself.
-Back outside, the photographer arrived! She was considering how to position us, when diplomatic Eileen said, "Um, Em has some mobility issues ..." I was more forthright, saying, "Sorry, I'm disabled."
-Anyways, the photographer positioned me first, then had Eileen stand beside me and help keep me steady. After she'd positioned Rob and boyd also, we were each given a copy of the anthology and told to smile! For the first shot, a 'trial run' (so said the photographer) I poked my tongue out and pulled an awful silly face, but then composed myself and grinned properly for all the other shots. XD
-And that was that! The photographer left, and Eileen left also, saying to Boyd, "I'll cya soon." I asked Boyd, "Did she mean our writers group next Thursday?" and Bob replied, "No, we'll see each other tonight @ an art appreciation group in the library that my wife runs."
-Boyd kindly gave me a hand back to the car, and Rob dropped me back off home. I checked Tim; yikes, I was gonna be late getting to the NAB!
-In the 4WD, PIG mum told me to ring dearest dad, coz he'd told her to after she'd picked me back up. Then I rang the NAB, apologising and explaining that I'd be late.
-Anyways, while PIG mum tootled me off to UQ , I finished both eyes and finished my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, then, opening both eyes along Coronation Drive, Era helped Ela stretch for five minutes, before Ela opened and closed her palm fifty times, holding each for a count of five.
-Hey, Aunty Ling's here now, so fingers crossed I can bbl, else hope everyone has a smashing weekend!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Friday Post 196

Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's been hard @ work plodding 2807 steps today (which D2 very proudly reports as also equaling sixty-three kcal or 1.23km XD); secondly, TWFT topic's "You Mustn't Quit' and thirdly, the spam count for the week's nineteen but fourthly and way most importantly, I'm still owed EIGHTEEN MINUTES online after Aunty Ling leaves around 5pm!!! Anyways, events for today?
~Woohoo, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:50am, and after one pot :P trip I spend the ten minutes until 7am having 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.
-Happy snorings with Daddy Bear resume, until dearest dad comes to kiss me goodbye before leaving for work. I use the pot :P once more.
-Mum's inside immediately once dearest dad leaves, but I don't argue for fifteen more minutes coz today she'll help me get dressed before I head out for our photo shoot! 
-So I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk out to the go the bathroom and brush teeth. I use the loo once afterwards 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 slice of toast with the merest dab of butter and yummy strawberry jam ever, one full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and one yummy mug of mint drinking chocolate. Over breakfast, while PIG mum's upstairs changing, I also continue my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay.
-Afterwards, I head to the bathroom where PIG mum gets me kitted for the photoshoot; I also do a stinky unspeakable.
-Afterwards, I head outside to await Rob's arrival; thanks to PIG mum who brings me out that rice cooker book to read while waiting.
-When Rob arrives, I let PIG- argh, fingers crossed I can bbl, coz I'm now owed FIFTY-EIGHT MINUTES online!!! ><
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Thursday Post 196c

ARGH! Idiot D2 has randomly reset himself again! >< That's it; I'm definitely asking Santa for a new one this Christmas!! >< Guess I'll just note down that I let PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela on 25+ minutes of stupid exercises for her, before I let the parents gleefully FORCE :( me to plod 700 steps on the bloody cross trainer for them. Even worse, I had to let PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela to wash all the dishes afterwards. I seriously don't get that woman; how could the cruel and unfaithful God make her so selfish and so self-centered that she thinks only she struggles, only she suffers, that she suffers the most, that she struggles the most and that my life's just too piss easy coz I've got carers to do everything for me?? >< Whatever, but I'm so definitely singing myself to sleep tonight and SCREW counting! >< So just noting down that my final, final plodding total for tonight stands roughly @ sth like 4773, and that everyone has a smashing end to their week toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Thursday Post 196b

Heylo again! Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2833; D2's new report: 2741 steps also equals seventy-two kcal or 1.23km. XD Anyways, events for today?
~I used the pot :P once last night and once more this morning around 6:25am, before 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.
-One more hour of happy snoring for Daddy Bear and I, before dearest dad comes to kiss me goodbye before leaving for work. I use the pot :P once more andonce he's gone, count down my fifteen minutes, coz I know PIG mum will come into my room with my clothes, dump them on the bed, demand I get dressed for her all without help and leave.
-Sure enough, that's exactly what happens. PIG mum returns to help me with Elf's AFO and laces, then I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk out to the bathroom where I brush teeth.
-After one tinkle over the loo, I 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 slice of toast with the merest dab of butter and yummy strawberry jam ever, one yummy mug of mint drinking chocolate, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, while PIG mum's upstairs changing for work, I continue my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay.
-Before Roxana arrived to take me to Toastmasters, I walked myself slowly and safely to the loo for two more tinkles, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. I also lent fully against the side rail and finished my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel.
-When Roxana arrived, I let PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk out to her car and we hit Garbo together!
-After parking, Roxana and I held hands and I walked well up to the library with her. Today, I found a new book, the third in the trilogy/series by Aaron Johnstone and Orson Scott Card! it's called 'Earth Awakens'.
-So I grabbed that, headed to where the kids fiction books are kept (that's where the sofa's gone) and crashed there, reading happily for one hour.
-Afterwards, I returned to Sparkless2, Roxana and I both visited the bathroom once more, then we went and bought bread from Breadtop. Lol, I was choosing my two buns, when Roxana was like, "I want a BBQ pork puff for morning tea; would you like one too?" I sure would, yum!
-Then we went downstairs to Dick Smiths, where I updated from an IPad Air and Roxana relaxed in some massage chair.
-Next stop, Jay Jays! All those minion tees are still there~
-Oh, sorry, forgot to note that before Jay Jays, we ducked into QBD and I browsed all the fantasy books. Apart from me despising the cruel and unfaithful God after He so wantonly took away all my physical abilities, what I hate Him for the most is that he's also cruelly taken away my reading speed! Before God destroyed my life, I'd rip through like twenty-four books each month, now, I stuggle to finish even one! >< Browsing the fantasy books today, I came across all the authors i'd love to read again, like David Gemmell, Traci Harding, etc ... ><
-Anyways, afterwards we went over to the Reject Shop, where I picked out a thank-you card for Rhi and a wedding card for Kwany and Mel Mel!
-'Twas time to head back upstairs after one more loo trip, to meet Anna for lunch!
-I had my usual, a two piece box with a mint choc krusher, Roxana bought a burrito from Salsa's and Anna got a steak sub and garlic bread from Bucking Bull. Over lunch, I listened to Roxana and Anna chat together; they get along so well~ :o) Anna told me that Kathleen's returning from Vanuvatu this Saturday.
-After lunch, both Anna and I enjoyed an ice cream from Maccas. I tried some new Mexico McFlurry, which came with oreo cookies coffee topping! I think it tasted great because I've had a majorly blocked nose all day and haven't really been able to taste much. XD
-After taking me once more to the loo, our last stop before home was Toys'R'Us, where Roxana randomly told me, "I love balls." I replied I hoped she meant she loved those round bouncy toys, not peoples' butts. XD
-Then Roxana tootled me home, I rang dad, turned off the alarm then went into the bathroom for my nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Roxana who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
-I had one tinkle before Roxana flipped the nice hot water off, got dried, had another tinkle and got creamed. When Roxana rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was doing Elf's AFO straps and one last one when she was washing my glasses for me.
-Holding hands with Roxana, I walked well back outside to the computer and Roxana went to clean the bathroom. Before leaving, she took me once more to the loo and will be back next Tuesday for Toastmasters.
-When PIG mum came home, I walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table to have arvo tea with her, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
-We shared half each of the new bun I bought today; it's got cheese and onion. My mug of mint green tea was my official mug for today to hold 'incorrectly'.
-After having arvo tea together, I had to let PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk out and let her gleefully force poor Ela take down all the day's washing, @ the same time enduring her ceaseless threats that she wouldn't take me out for lunch unless I let her have everything her way. Well, I already do!
-Coming back inside, I went once more to the loo (of course, PIG mum gleefully forced me to do everything myself), before walking myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over, before returning online.
-At 5:25pm, I visited the loo myself again, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
-Another fifteen more minutes online for me, then I'll haveta go do Lumosity for PIG mum.
-But if there's time after that, I can go searching for showbags!!
-Also fingers crossed that dearest dad'll take us out for dinner tonight, hey~
-Toms: apparently, garden City Creative Writers will get some kinda photo shoot toms and Bob's picking me up! However, Boyd e-mailed me this arvo, saying that the photographer isn't available until 9:30 and what time was my physio? I answered him 11am.
-Fingers crossed we can have lunch @ Sunnybank Oriental/Dong Fong afterwards!
-That Aunty Ling will come supervise my shower around 4pm; I'll try telling PIG mum please to lemme sign her off myself @ 5pm so she won't run away five minutes early like she did last fortnight.
-Then I'm off to Pole's house, we're giving Ben his farewell party before he goes over to South Korea for like six months!
-Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms~
Cheers,
Em. ^^
