Friday Post 208

Good afternoon! Firstly, today I’ve been hard @ work plodding 1129 steps; secondly, TWFT topic’s ‘Knowing What Not to Say’ and thirdly, the spam count for the week’s sixty-three but fourthly and way most importantly, I’m still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after Aunty Lucia leaves @ 4pm!! Alas, I won’t get any of that time back because (1) Leanne’s coming for a visit and (2) I’m watching the Broncos match tonight! But just noting down that awful mother chucked some huge cow @ me last night; despite that, I still managed an awesome sleep, with nature not calling until 6:50am. Had UQ physio with Zev but was late to see Aunty Ann for a massage coz we were stuck all along Coronation Drive and the freeway! Turns out there was a multi vehicle smash near Greenslopes … back home, I had to let PIG mum gleefully FORCE L me to walk out onto dad’s deck and let her gleefully force mostly poor Ela to take down the day’s washing; argh, I HATES standing practice! >< Toms Besta’s coming to mind me from 10am till 1pm; after she leaves, we’ll haveta go vote! Then it’s Kim coming to mind me from 4pm till 6pm. Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Thursday Post 208

Good evening! Firstly, today I’ve been hard @ work plodding 3713 steps and secondly, TWFT topic’s “Overcoming the ‘ I Can’t’ Mentality”. Anyways, events for today?

- I used the pot :P once last night around 3am and once more around 6:35am, 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 need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*

- today, PIG mum helped me slightly with both a bra and a tee coz dearest dad hadn’t come to kiss me bye yet~

- Breakfast was one slice of unbuttered toast with the thinnest spread of yummy black  sesame paste either, all my usual drugs, one full mug of water and one warm mug of Milo.

- I went and did a stinky unspeakable before Kim tootled us off to Plaza!

Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

-        Luckily, our cinema’s the first outside the loo! Even better, we get front row seats, meaning I don’t haveta climb any stairs~ Reclining armchairs; ahh, luxury!

-        The movie’s great, but sad. I catch Kim crying, and it’s not a happy ending: the male lead dies. :o( Watching the credits after the movie ends, though, I realise there aren’t any big names in the cast.

-        Back outside, Kim and I both use the loo then I hike all the way down to The Reject Shop, where I buy one pair of fuzzy socks! ^^

-        PIG mum had also wanted us to buy tuna from Coles (it was on special), but Kim checked the time and said ‘twas already 12:30! So we went back to food court and met Pastor Chris, Pastor Grace, Naomi and Aunty Florry for lunch!

-        Kim and I both had rice from Sushi Paradise, chicken kaarage rice for me, chicken curry rice for her. Pastors Chris and Grace had sushi with Naomi; afterwards, Pastor Chris also got himself a large pearl milk tea and Pastor Grace a hot grass jelly. Aunty Florry had sth from Lili’s, I think.

-        Over lunch, Pastor Chris told me that he was leaving for the Thailand mission trip this Saturday! He’ll be gone for three weeks; Pastor Chong will be speaking for two of them and Liam, BCAC’s favourite Irishman, the third!

-        I can’t seem to kick my bad habit of stuffing a huge mouthful into my gob just as someone asks me a question! XD Today, it happened both with Pastor Grace and Aunty Florry; all I can do’s gesture frantically @ my mouth and hope they understand (which they did. XD)

-        Pastor Chris left for a haircut; Kim tootled me home and I showered double time – I washed and rinsed my hair today, also singing 21% of my shorter second-favourite song softly, slowly but most hatefully out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. I realise I won’t be able to sing during tomorrow’s shower but that’s fine; I’ll resume come Saturday arvo.

-        I had one tinkle before I flipped the nice hot water off, mostly dried myself (thanks to Kim who helped with my back, Era and both legs), mostly creamed myself (again, thanks to Kim who helped with my back, Era and both calves) then mostly rekitted myself (thanks to Kim who helped with Erf’s sock, Elf’s AFO and both laces, after I’d practised tying the left one with her).

-        After using the loo for two tinkles, I washed and dried Era then said my thanks and byes to Kim. She’s back Saturday arvo.

-        When PIG mum announced her safe arrival home, I walked myself slowly and safely to the front door and let her in, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

-        Once she was back inside, 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. I also told PIG mum to please call Amee back; she’d rung while I was getting dressed after showering.

-        Arvo tea was half the yummy chicken puff I’d bought from Bread Top with Kim earlier this morning (obviously, PIG mum nicked the other half) and one mug of Chinese tea. Over arvo tea, PIG mum said that the fuzzy socks I’d bought were too short for Elf and that Kim had bought the wrong tuna! She didn’t get tomato and onion, but sth like tomato and basil! XD After eating, I sat over the loo awhile and played Candy Crush. XD

-        I was ready to return online afterwards; alas, PIG mum demanded I resume online study until 5pm. That’s 1.25 hours, but hey.

-        Study finished, I used the loo once more then popped online for myself.

-         

-        When dearest dad returned home, I used the loo once again. Alas, the moment he came home he was saying that I had to use the bloody cross trainer for him. >< if that’s the case, I’m definitely singing myself to sleep tonight, SCREW counting! ><

-        But hopefully dad will take PIG mum and I out to somewhere for dinner. I’m used to getting only a miniscule amount for dinner … alas, ‘twas not to be. Instead, I had to let dad gleefully FORCE me to plod 800 steps on the bloody cross trainer for him (the stupid thing’s inaccurate counter meant I actually went 835 ><) then when I went out to the 4WD, dad randomly chucked a cow @ me and wouldn’t take us out for dinner! >< Instead, he made me vacuum the entire house instead; I was okay with that coz it meant Era was holding onto sth that touched the ground.

-        Dinner tonight: the yummy rice, lotsa dad’s home-grown hairy melon, lotsa soup carrot and potato, one kinda yucky white mushroom and one delicious chunk of BBQ chicken that had a lil piece of skin attached! :D

-        Dinner was washed down with one bowl of soup. Usually, it’s spooned down, but horrid PIG mum was chucking some randow spiteful cow @ me about how I sat while drinking; I ended up just picking up the bowl and draining it, before walking myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

-        At 9pm, I took myself once more slowly and safely to the loo and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

-        Toms: late morning UQ physio with … Zev! Lol, it’s the end of his third week but I’m still only belatedly remembering his name! XD

-        Will doubtless munch half a toastie while PIG mum tootles me off to see Aunty Ann for a comfy massage. Lol, wonder if Aunty Ann and I get any chance to share about our respective weeks or will sneaky PIG mum bring her half of the toastie/burger into the massage room and yap incessantly the whole hour, hogging the entire conversation?? XD

-        Should be Aunty Lucia coming to mind me for one hour around 4pm. She’s always late because before me, she takes a car of elderlies shopping.

-        And when she leaves around 5pm, Madam Hippo will be dropping by for a visit! :D

-        Then after dinner tonight, I’m planning to watch the Broncos game! Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms~

-        Cheers,

-        Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 208

Good afternoon! Firstly, today I’ve been hard @ work plodding 1026 steps (ha, just over 1000 XD) and secondly, TWFT topic’s ‘Prayer Gives You Access to God’ but thirdly and way most importantly, I’m still owed FIFTY-ONE MINUTES online after someone leaves tonight!! Anyways, let’s start off with yesterday’s events first!

~ Oh, my final, final plodding total for Tuesday’s actually 1352.

-        When someone arrived, I stayed online till 4:45pm then took the quickest possible shower – I washed and rinsed my hair today. I also sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song slowly, softly but most hatefully out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.

-        I had one tinkle before I flipped the nice hot water off, mostly dried myself (someone only helped with my back and Era), mostly creamed myself (again, someone only helped with my back and Era) then mostly rekitted myself (someone only helped with Elf’s AFO and both shoelaces, coz ‘twas already late). Then I went over to the loo for one tinkle, hung up the towel, washed and dried Era then went outside for arvo tea, which was one mug of green tea and a piece of fruit.

-        After PIG mum hit me with the eye goo and helped very slightly with a jacket, we left for Toastmasters!

-        I was warm-up master last night! Neil was Toastmaster; his theme was ‘Early Retirement’. My warm-up went well; best of all, Leonard just returned from the US and he brought M ‘n’ Ms for everybody that aren’t available here! I avoided the peanut and dark chocolate ones, but pigged out on the pretzel ones. XD

-        Back home, I gobbled up my Happy Meal as quickly as possible, thus preventing dad from nabbing any (it helped that he was already fast asleep XD), did the Lumosity games then hit the sack. Zzz~

Today: Woo hoo, really awesome sleep last night! Nature didn’t call until 7:50am, when dearest dad came and kissed me bye before he left for work! After he left, I spent the ten minutes till 8am having a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*

-        After that, Daddy Bear and I cuddled and snored, me waking up once more for the pot :P shortly around 9am. Hearing PIG mum already noisily thumping around upstairs, I knew ‘twas pointless to try fall back asleep again so instead spent the short time until she came downstairs to help me slightly with a bra letting Ela practise picking my nose. XD Hey, Uncle Tom taught me to do that! XD

-        So PIG mum came, hit me with the eye goo, helped me slightly with a bra, then left me to get the rest of myself kitted, which I did so after first giving myself fifteen more minutes.

-        PIG mum came back, helped with Elf’s AFO, then set me on shoelace tying practice. I don’t really mind, coz I’m seated and can fully concentrate, but I can’t help but suspect sometimes that she does that just so she can prattle on about what I’m doing wrong, etc. *sigh*

That finally done, I let her gleefully FORCE L me to walk out to the bathroom to brush teeth (poor Ela). Afterwards, I sat over the loo for two tinkles, also fully leaning 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. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He conned the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*

After washing and drying Era, 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. After letting PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela to do all these stressful things for her (stressful because she wouldn’t lemme sit), breakfast was one bowl of plain porridge with one slice of unbuttered toast. Zero thanks to horrid PIG mum who gleefully forced poor Ela to hold the toast before letting Era tear it, but I didn’t really mind too much coz (1) I was seated and could fully concentrate and (2) Era kept her promise to Ela afterwards and combined with the spoon to tear the chunks into bite-sized, more manageable pieces. Over breakfast, I also finished my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

-        After breakfast, I let PIG mum gleefully FORCE L me to walk out to the 4WD, and she tootled us off to the Rochedale fruit market to buy fruits and vegies. Of course, she gleefully forced poor me to buckle my own seatbelt all day; we also listened to 97.3FM all day, too. Oh, and today Era helped Ela stretch for fifteen minutes, before Ela opened and closed her palm 150x, holding each for a count of five.

-        Our other stop before returning home was Runcorn Plaza. First I bought myself a yummy pork salad roll from Aunty Lien, who told PIG mum she ought to get a hot water bottle for me! PIG mum responded by telling Aunty Lien that I hadn’t any sensation down my left side, which made me rather cross; I have DECREASED sensation, not ZERO sensation! ><

-        Back home, I was gonna tootle online, but PIG mum ordered that I resume online study. Aunty Deana came to mind me for three hours. For lunch, she fried me six yummy dumplings, while she herself had bought a chicken kaarage rice from Sushi Chef @ Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown earlier that morning! I also drank one mug yummy chocolate Nesquik.

-        After lunch, Aunty Deana gave me half a mug of water, after which I went and did a stinky unspeakable. I was ready to sit and happily read my Star Trek novel afterwards but no, PIG mum ordered that I continue my online study. *sigh*

-        When someone announced her arrival exactly @ 4pm, I walked myself slowly and safely to the front door and let her in, again 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 hair. I also sang 22% of my shorter second-favourite song softly, slowly but most hatefully out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.

-        I had one tinkle before I flipped the nice hot water off, mostly dried myself (someone only ever helps with my back and Era), mostly creamed myself (again, someone only ever helps with my back and Era) then mostly rekitted myself (someone only ever helps with Elf’s AFO). After hanging my towel up, I sat for one tinkle over the loo, washed and dried Era, then let someone Force me to walk out to the gobbling :P table for arvo tea, which was my yummy pork salad roll. Someone also lemme have a cup of white tea with two sugars! That’s prolly coz PIG mum went out to buy dad some lamb and get a haircut/sth like that. XD

-        Thanks to someone who showed me her e-reader! She said the brand was Kobo, I think. Now I want one for Christmas!

-        After finishing arvo tea, I happily read my Star Trek novel for about twenty minutes. Someone cleaned the bathroom then came back and massaged Ela for about forty minutes, although I’ve forgotten what colours, sorry.

-        After watching the sports report, I went once more to the loo for two tinkles. Someone will come back next Wednesday.

-        I tootled briefly online; alas that PIG mum had to tumble downstairs, gleefully and immediately force me offline.

-        After letting her gleefully force me on a few minutes of posture exercises for her, I then had to let her gleefully force poor Ela on 60+ (yes, MORE THAN one HOUR! ><) of stupid exercises for her. But again, @ least I was seated and could fully concentrate.

-        Dinner tonight: the yummy rice, lotsa little tong vegetable, a little delicious BBQ chicken and one small chunk of Ling fish (me: BAHAHAHA!! XD)

-        Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup, then I walked myself slowly and safely back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

-        At 9pm, I took myself 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.

-        Tonight’s ice cream night, so yay for that! Like I always say, a very little’s better than none @ all!

-        Toms was meant to be my fortnightly Garbo shopping trip, but my AWFUL PIG mum’s still not letting me go! >< Kim and I will watch another movie together @ Sunnybank Plaza instead.

-        Luckily, the Lungs can meet me for lunch @ Plaza, even though PIG mum’s already stipulated what I’m to eat. *sigh*

-        Then hopefully dad will take PIG mum and I out to somewhere yummy for dinner tonight!

-        Anyways, hoping everyone has a smashing week!

-        Cheers,

-        Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 167

Good afternoon! Firstly, today I’ve only been hard @ work plodding 757 steps (but I’m fairly confident that I’ll have cracked 1000 before the day’s out) and secondly, TWFT topic’s ‘Start Now’ but thirdly and way most importantly, I’m still owed  ONE HOUR and EIGHT MINUTES online after I get back from physio @ UQ!!! But just noting down that this morning after doing a stinky unspeakable, I went and saw Dr. Ku so he could fill out some form saying I needed some help @ uni, before some 4^th year uni student from Mauritius called sth like Cam asked me several questions about my brain injury. Back home, PIG mum cooked some fried rice for our lunch, then she tootled me off to UQ for physio, the 1.5hr one for Ela. With Zev today (he’s Canadian and thinks the weather’s lovely and balmy right now! O_o XD), physio was  wrist pronation and extension, shrugging trying to not raise Ela, bimanual task carrying small basketball around, weight-bearing and keeping Ela open. Kat also walked two laps along the hallway so she could show Zev how she walked with Ela. Darani’s here right now, and will take me to Toastmasters tonight, so fingers crossed I can bring back some dinner from Maccas, never mind that Happy
Meals were what I ate @ LEAST two DECADES ago! Toms … think PIG mum said sth about a haircut? Will prolly buy groceries with her; fingers crossed she’ll lemme buy a pork salad roll with Aunty Lien before coming home, where Aunty Deana’s coming to mind me from 12:30pm till 3:30pm. Then Darani will come mind me from 4pm till 6pm again. Best of all, it’s ice cream night tonight; like I always say, a very little’s better than none @ all! Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms~

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Monday Post 167

Good evening! Firstly, today I’ve been hard @ work plodding 2386 steps and secondly, TWFT topic’s ‘Building Real Relationships’ but thirdly and way most importantly, I’m really still owed ONE HOUR and FIVE MINUTES online for some other time!1! >< Not that I’ll ever get it back … *sigh* Anyways, just noting down that I enjoyed a great sleep last night (bid my teddy sweet dreams, fell asleep and didn’t wake till 7:15am) and after enduring horrid mother chuck a completely spiteful cow @ me, went out to the Warrigal Square Woolies and bought groceries. Came home for lunch then survived my weekly torture session with Vincent the physio. Kim came to mind me from 4pm till 6pm (I got to read for another whole hour, yay!) but after she left, I had to let PIG mum gleefully FORCE L me to stand and use the Wii fit for forty minutes; argh, I HATES standing practice! >< Had dinner with the parents then resumed studying; that’s why I’m not gonna get my most important two hours online for awhile (if ever again), coz I’m trying to resume tertiary studies! Toms morning I’ve got an appointment to see Dr. Ku; I haven’t any new illness, fortunately; he’s my medical practitioner and I need him to fill out some form for me so I can apply for disability support while studying. Come the arvo I’ve got a 1.5hr session @ UQ with Zev for Ela and then Darani’s taking me out to Toastmasters toms night! I could’ve sworn that she initially promised I could have a milkshake twice a year with my Happy Meal; once @ the end of June and the other @ the end of December, but no, she’s gone back on her word and said she only ever said the end of the year! *sigh* Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Sunday Post 167

Good evening! Firstly, today I’ve been hard @ work plodding 3495 steps today; secondly, TWFT topic’s ‘Beauty Is, As Beauty Does’ and thirdly, the spam count for the weekend’s twenty-two. Anyways, events for today?

~ I used the pot :P twice last night and once more around 6:30am, before immediately cuddling Juice and trying to fall back asleep straight away coz I wanted to be able to use the loo once more before PIG mum came into my room!

-        Success; even better, PIG mum helped me a tee coz dearest dad hadn’t left yet! But you can bet your bottom dollar she won’t do that toms, since dearest dad will already have left for work. XD

-While I got myself mostly independently kitted, I also began a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*

-        PIG mum comes back and helps me with Elf’s AFO and laces (again, I’m certain I’ll tie them myself when I shower tonight; she’s just helping now coz she doesn’t wanna be late for church), before I let her gleefully FORCE L me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth (poor Ela). Afterwards, I use the loo for two tinkles, wash and dry Era, 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 one slice of toast with yummy black sesame spread, a small half-bowl of porridge, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of milk. PIG mum had originally poured me a mouthful of milk, but then she chucked some awful cow @ me and tipped it out. >< never mind, I ate my wee breakfast in silence while a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He conned the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*

After breakfast, I let PIG mum gleefully FORCE L me to walk to the 4WD, and she tootled us off to church. Of course, she gleefully forced me to buckle my own seatbelt and neither would she lemme turn the radio on (coz she ‘wants to prepare her heart to worship God’, whatever that means) but I spent the trip finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

-        At church, I let PIG mum gleefully FORCE L me to walk all the way down to A1, where I used the loo once myself then sat in my preferred spot to the most left.

-        Today, EM had a consultative meeting! Pastor Chris and Evan spoke and there were questions @ the end. Seems like our church may get some extensions/expansions someday ..,.

-        After the meeting, I used the loo once, grabbed a lil morning tea and took a seat. PIG mum sped off to yap @ other church peoples, while granny Wan came over for a short chat.

-        Time for service, I let PIG mum gleefully FORCE L me to walk up to the main hall. Once I sat, she dashed off for her very informal ‘fellowship’ with the other church aunties. They don’t actually do anything Biblical; they just have drinks and gossip!

-        Yay, I remained seated for worship today~ I sang everything I knew, plus the harmony for three songs, but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh8

-        Speaker today was Uncle Roger; he’s SEVENTY now!

-        After service, I headed downstairs for our monthly EM lunch! I was so incredibly happy to get one whole PLATEFUL of sushi; you know how the parents usually only gleefully restrict me to like three SLICES?? Thanks to Tina who kindly made me one mug of green tea, and I also had two/three small slices of this really tough flatbread.

-        I began asking around to see if anyone could take me to Sunday sports; Uncle William said yes! He also made pumpkin soup for our lunch; I liked it coz he added sweet potato. XD

-        So after lunch, Uncle William walked behind me to his black car and tootled us off to Rochedale SHS for Sunday sports!

-        When we arrive there, Julz kindly walks behind me down to the playing hall, and also sees me to the loo, where I manage just fine by myself.

-        Alas, the table tennis board can’t be found! >< So huge thanks to Enoch/some other guy who finds me a basketball from somewhere and Era bounces that for awhile. Originally, I aim for fifty consecutive bounces; by the time we leave, I’ve managed like 265 in a row! Also, some third year physio guy comes and talks to me; apologies I’ve already forgotten his name! >< XD

-        So nadia tootles me home, where I use the loo once then sit down @ the gobbling :P table, where I let PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela to feed me a yummy pear. I don’t really mind, coz I’m seated and can concentrate.

-        She wants to gleefully force me to play Wii for her next, but I beg out, asking to shower first coz the sun’s set and it’s steadily getting colder! Luckily, she agrees, and so I head into the bathroom for my nice hot shower – I wash and rinse my hair today. I also sing 28% of my shorter second-favourite song slowly, softly but most hatefully out aloud out aloud (just like yesterday), opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
- I have one tinkle before I flip the nice hot water off, dry and rekit myself. PIG mum only helps with Elf’s AFO and my laces, after I’ve practised tying them with her.

-        I use the loo once more for two tinkles, wash and dry Era then head outside, ready to plop online. Alas that I haveta let PIG mum gleefully FORCE L me to stand for @ least thirty minutes and use the Wii for her first; argh, I HATES standing practice! >< After thirty minutes, she lets me sit and then I haveta let her gleefully force poor Ela to use the Wii for another thirty minutes but again, I’m sitting and I can fully concentrate; I just haveta pretend that I can’t hear the cruel and unfaithful God jeering @ me, and hey, I’ve gotten pretty good @ that now!

-        When Aunty A arrives for dinner, I’ve just finished using the Wii for her and think I can FINALLY pop online but no, PIG mum instead orders I pop online and e-mail the two universities she’s enrolled me into to ask about what disability support they can provide me.

-        Before dinner, I walk myself once slowly and safely to the loo once and back, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

-        Dinner tonight: the yummy rice, lotsa hairy melon, lotsa soup potato, carrot and tomato, several wee slices of beef, maybe one wee chunk of pork and also one tiny piece of yummy chicken. Dinner’s spooned down with one bowl of soup before I walk myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

-        At 9pm, I take myself once more slowly and safely to the loo and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

-        Toms: late morning appointment to see Uncle Tom the Chinese herbalist for some acupuncture and massage. PIG mum will doubtless have a happy time yapping @ him. XD

-        Doubtless we’ll come home to have lunch with dearest dad, then in the early arvo I’ve got a torture session with Vincent the bloody physio. ><

-        Kim’s coming to mind me from 4pm till 6pm; fingers crossed I will get to read for one hour again! Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!

-        Cheers,

-        Em. ^^

Saturday Post 167

Good afternoon! Firstly, today I’ve been hard @ work plodding only 779 steps (obviously, I haven’t left the house!) and secondly, TWFT topic’s ‘God Wants to Bless You Financially’. Anyways, events for today?

~ Woo hoo, 3^rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn’t call until 7:05am, 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 need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*

- When PIG mum leaves for work @ 7:30am, she hits me with the eye goo before leaving. After she’s gone, my dearest dad comes to tuck me back into bed even more snugly, before leaving me to continue my happy snorings, which Daddy Bear and I continue with after I spend another ten minutes continuing a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He conned the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*

- Then Daddy Bear enjoy an amazingly good snore together, me not waking again till like 9:45am to use the pot :P once more! When Besta arrives, she kindly gives me fifteen more minutes before helping me get up and kitted. She’s on semester break now, lucky thing!

- I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Thanks to Besta who squirts me some toothpaste, meaning Ela can enjoy her once weekly break. After brushing teeth, I use the loo once more for two tinkles, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

- After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast. Dad’s left me half a slice of egg and ham; thanks to Besta who cooks the bread yummy and adds half a slice of cheese for me. I also enjoy my first mug of white tea, sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar, and suck the teabag once. :P

- Happiness is getting to read my Star Trek novel for sixty-five/seventy minutes today! While I read, Besta gently massages Ela and watches television.

- At midday, she takes me once to the loo and makes a mug of warm Milo for me before cooking lunch. I try ringing both aunties but for some reason, get connected to strangers? Dunno… Instead, I happily read for another forty-five minutes.

- Before Besta leaves, she takes me once more to the loo for two tinkles.

- After she’s gone, I enjoy my bowl of yummy fried rice and my other mug of white tea, sweetened with two sugars. Over lunch, I watch You Tube clips of the boyband Blue.

- After lunch, I walk myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

- When the parents return home, PIG mum immediately screeches that Besta didn’t gimme enough layers to wear and whacks another jumper on me, while I head to the loo and do a stinky unspeakable. While I’m doing so, she heads upstairs to shower, meaning I haveta wait for her to finish before coming to help me out. That’s fine; while waiting, I just sing like 1/5 of my newest second-favourite song slowly, soft but most hatefully out aloud, closing my left eye for all the important numbers.

When Kim announced her arrival @ 3:58pm, I walked myself slowly and safely to the front door and let her in, again 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 – I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also sang 28% of my shorter second-favourite song slowly, softly but most hatefully out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.

- I had one tinkle before I flipped the nice hot water off, mostly dried myself (thanks to Kim who helped me dry my back, Era and both calves), mostly rekitted myself (again, thanks to Kim who helped me dry my back, Era and both calves) then mostly rekitted myself (thanks to Kim who helped with Erf’s sock, Elf’s shoe and both shoelaces, after I’d practised tying the left one with her). After heading over to the loo for one tinkle, I washed and dried Era then headed out to the gobbling :P table.

- Arvo tea was one yummy passionfruit, one yummy banana and one mug of green tea, but my real happiness was getting to read my current Star Trek novel for like seventy minutes! :D Tonight I reached page 150 @ 5:20pm, BTW. While I read, Kim cleaned the bathroom then massaged Ela gently for fifty-five minutes, painting her dark green with pink spots today.

- At 5:55pm, Kim took me once more to the loo for two tinkles. She’s back come Monday.

- After she left, I finished watching the newest episode of NRL Rookie!

- At 7:10pm, I took myself once slowly and safely to the loo and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

- When dad came home, his first thought was to try and gleefully FORCE L me to plod on the bloody cross trainer for him, but I refused, coz somehow I’d hurt Era! I didn’t notice until I was getting some shampoo while showering, then was like, “Cripes, why does that motion hurt incredibly??” ><

- When PIG mum tumbled downstairs, I pleaded my case to her and she decided I must’ve overworked Era when using the Wii for her last night. So instead of letting the parents gleefully FORCE L me to plod on the bloody cross trainer for them, I instead let them gleefully force me to do thirty sit ups on the Ab Trainer for them.

- After one loo trip, dinner tonight was the yummy rice, lotsa yummy cauliflower, lotsa soup potato, carrot and tomato, the last of the Ling fish (me: BAHAHAHA!!) some soup beef (meaning tasteless) and one chunk of yummy BBQ chicken.

- Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup before I walked myself slowly and safely online, again rising above the cruel and 7unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

-Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. Actually, correction, three special things: (1) There’s some consultative meeting @ 9am down in A1, (2) We’re having EM lunch together afterwards (sushi! I was hoping for warm food, but hey and (3) monthly sports! Wonder will anyone take me… I can just play table tennis all afternoon~

- Anyways, hoping to see everyone @ church toms!

Cheers,

Em. ^^

P.S. From memory, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday posts are all the same number 9like 207), while Saturday through till Tuesday are also, only the first three are already up to like 207 while the other four are only around 167 … alas that awful PIG mum deleted months of my previous posts and threw the counting outta whack. >< *sigh*

Friday Post 207

Good evening! Firstly, today I’ve been hard @ work plodding 2439 steps; secondly, TWFT topic’s ‘How to Become a Good Leader’ and thirdly, the spam count for the week’s sixty-four. Anyways, events for today?

~ Woo hoo, second consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn’t call until 7:15am, and after one pot :P trip, I cuddled Daddy Bear and went straight back into happy snorings with him, knowing that dearest dad would probably come kiss me bye before leaving for work after thirty more minutes.

-        only for some reason, dearest dad didn’t leave for work till 8:15am! Great timing; I used the pot :P once more when he left, then returned for more happy snorings with Daddy Bear.

-        Nature called once more before PIG mum came into my room, hit me with the eye goo, helped me slightly with a bra, then left me to get myself mostly kitted, which I dod after first giving myself fifteen more minutes snoozing time with Daddy Bear first. Whilst dressing, I also sang like 20% of my shorter second-favourite song slowly, softly but most hatefully out aloud, closing my left eye for all the important numbers, coz I knew I wouldn’t have the chance for singing this arvo while Aunty Kitty was here.

PIG mum came back, helped with Elf’s AFO and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE L me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth (poor Ela). Afterwards, I sat over the loo and, fully leaning against the side rail, had a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*

I washed and dried Era then walked myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast, although I’ll admit I can’t quite remember what I ate. XD Prolly one slice of unbuttered toast with a dab of yummy black sesame spread? Over breakfast, I also continued a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He conned the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*

-        After breakfast, I went and did a stinky unspeakable! PIG mum was relieved; recently I’ve randomly suffered from constipation and haven’t pooped for several days!

-        Once in the car, PIG mum tootled me off to UQ for physio. She decided to listen to that nasally Andy Hui first; she also gleefully forced poor Em to buckle her own seatbelt all day. Also, today Era helped Ela stretch for forty-five minutes and Ela also opened and closed her palm 250x, holding each for a count of five.

-        Physio today: just over thirty-five minutes mat work knee-crawling @ least six circuits around mats then twenty-five sit-to-stands with weight-shifting.

-        After one more loo trip, PIG mum tootled me off to see Aunty Ann for a comfy massage. While she drove, I munched my half a toasted chicken sandwich and she told me what she’d read in the paper while she was having a drink from Genies when I was doing physio. Apparently, the Maroons are still bragging about their victory two nights ago. XD

-        At Aunty Ann’s place, I used the loo once before lying down and enjoying a nice comfy massage from her. PIG mum was sneaky: usually she wolfs down her half of the toasted sandwich so she can rush back inside and totally commandeer the conversation (I’m silent, Aunty Ann makes affirming sounds that just set PIG mum off again XD) but this arvo she actually brought her lunch into the massage room so that she could keep yapping while eating! XD

-         Massage over, PIG mum tootles us home. I wanna plop online before Aunty Kitty arrives but alas, instead I haveta let PIG mum gleefully FORCE L me to walk outside and let her gleefully force mostly poor Ela to take down the day’s washing; argh, I HATES standing practice! ><

-        luckily, I finish before Aunty Kitty arrives. When she does signal her arrival, I walk myself slowly and safely to the front door, 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 – I wash my hair today, but thanks to Aunty Kitty who rinses it out for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

-        I have one tinkle before Aunty Kitty flips the nice hot water off, get dried, get creamed and have another tinkle. Aunty Kitty rekits me, and I have one final tinkle when she’s doing Elf’s AFO straps.

-        Aunty Kitty walks behind me back out to the gobbling :P table then goes back to clean the bathroom. PIG mum’s already waiting with a banana she gleefully forces poor Ela to feed me with, but (1) I’m seated and can fully concentrate and (2) Ela does well and I’m finished before Aunty Kitty comes back out and sees all the power that PIG mum has over me.

-        When Aunty Kitty leaves, I use the loo once more for two tinkles then walk myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

-        I tootle online happily for awhile, and when nature suddenly calls around 4:45pm, take myself slowly and safely to the loo and back, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

-        Alas, with only two minutes left of the PISSY two hours of net time PIG mum so gleefully restricts me to left, she tumbles downstairs from pigland, immediately and gleefully forces me offline. I haveta use the Wii for her for another hour; MORE standing practice: I HATES it! >< Thankfully, after standing and doing the balance games and yoga moves for about forty minutes, PIG mum finally allows me to sit. However, her next step’s to gleefully force poor Ela to play three bouts of swordfighting. She resoundly loses all three, of course, but Era plays three herself and gets revenge for Ela. XD

-        Dinner, after one loo trip: the yummy rice, I’ve forgotten lotsa which green vegetable but there was also lotsa soup potato and carrot, several tasty slices of chicken, one small chunk of Ling fish (me: BAHAHAHA!! XD) and one tiny piece of charsiu, which I save for last, of course.

-        Dinner is spooned down with one bowl of soup, 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.

-        At 9pm, I take myself 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: expect a super-pissy plodding total from me, coz I’m not going out. Besta’s coming to mind me from 10am till 1pm, then Kim’s doing the same from 4pm till 6pm. Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!

-        Cheers,

-        Em. ^^

Thursday Post 207b

Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1975 steps (oh, I’m sure I’ll pass 2000 steps someday! XD) and secondly, TWFT topic's 'Mountain-Moving Prayers'. Anyways, events for today?

~ Woo hoo, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn’t call until 7:20am, and after one pot :P trip I spent the ten minutes till 7:30am having a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*

-        Daddy Bear and I dozed until PIG mum entered my room and helped me very slightly with a bra and tee, coz dearest dad hadn’t come kiss me goodbye before leaving for work yet. I gave myself fifteen more minutes then got myself mostly independently kitted, also softly, slowly but most hatefully singing about ¼ of my newest second-favourite song softly, slowly but most hatefully out aloud, closing my left eye for all the important numbers.

PIG mum came back to help with Elf’s AFO and my laces (she only helped today coz she didn’t wanna be late for work, then I let her gleefully FORCE L me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth (poor Ela). That done, I sat over the loo for two tinkles also leaning fully against the side rail and continuing a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He conned the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*

-        After washing and drying Era, 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.

Breakfast was one slice of unbuttered toast with a wee speck of yummy black sesame paste. Zero thanks to horrid PIG mum who gleefully forced poor Ela to do the spreading, but I wasn’t really that upset coz I was seated and could fully concentrate. In times like those, IU’ve only gotta pretend that I can’t hear the cruel and unfaithful God jeering @ me, and what can I say? I’ve gotten pretty good @ pretending I can’t hear his hurtful taunting by now. *sigh* Over breakfast, I also finished my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

-        After PIG mum finished changing for work, I let her gleefully FORCE L me to walk to the 4WD, and she tootled me off to Garbo for Writers’ Group! She got pissed, though, coz Logan Rd. traffic was awful and it took more than fifteen minutes to arrive~ But she was nice enough to walk behind me all the way to the library; I waited until she had dashed off to work before asking Eileen please to gimme a hand to the loo~

-        Writers group was great fun, as always. :o) Next meeting’s homework topic’s ‘suitcase’. But there’ll be a break of three weeks before our next meeting; we usually meet on the 2^nd and 4^th Thursdays of each month, but this time around, there’s five Thursdays!

-        Aunty Jo picked me up afterwards; we were walking to her car when a girl holding a sign outside Gloria Jeans caught our attention: buy one drink get the second for two dollars! I had a Tim Tam iced chocolate, Aunty jo had a coffee, and she just bought us cheeseburgers for lunch outside Oporto. Not only that, she bought us medium chips to share and she also bought me a chocolate pie for this arvo! :D I asked her how long should I reheat that inside the microwave for and she replied offhandedly, “Oh, thirty minutes will do.”

“Thirty MINUTES?!” I screeched @ her.

“Oh, no, sorry! I meant thirty seconds.” XD

-        Back home, I used the loo again for like three tinkles and played Candy Crush. XD Aunty Jo said she had to go, and therefore left five minutes early, but PIG mum’s said not to be that exact about times, so her.

-        When PIG mum announced her safe arrival home, 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. Then I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

-        When Kim announced her arrival @ 3:58pm, I walked myself slowly and safely to the front door and let her in, always 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 also sang 21% of my shorter second-favourite song slowly, softly but most hatefully out aloud, opening both eyes for all the most important numbers.

-        I had one tinkle before I flipped the nice hot water off, mostly dried myself (thanks to Kim who helped dry my back, Era and both calves), mostly creamed myself (again, thanks to Kim who helped me dry my back, Era and both calves) then mostly rekitted myself (thanks to Kim who helped with Erf’s sock, Elf’s AFO and both laces after I’d practised tying the left one with her). Then I went over to the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era then headed out to the gobbling :P table for arvo tea.

-        Huge thanks to Aunty Jo who bought me that chocolate pie! :D I drank one warm mug of green tea with that, then happily read the Courier Mail that I bought today for one good hour. Kim cleaned the bathroom then massaged Ela for one hour, painting her pink with black spots today.

-        Even before the sport’s report had ended, Kim said ‘twas time to go to the loo! I asked Kim could I please finish watching the sports report first but she said no, coz she’d arrived two minutes early and was therefore leaving two minutes early. Oh, I wish she’d just come @ 4pm!

-        I returned happily online and was just noting down how today had unfolded for me (because I’d already used the PISSY two hours of net time that PIG mum so gleefully restricts me to0 when dad got home. Immediately, he ordered me offline and I had to let him gleefully FORCE L me to plod 800 steps on the bloody cross trainer for him. The stupid machine’s inaccurate counter meant I actually went 816 steps. >< so SCREW counting tonight; I’m definitely singing myself to sleep! ><

-        PIG mum’s upstairs showering now, then hopefully dearest dad will take us out for dinner together somewhere~ I understand that I will not get anywhere even near a full meal, but hey.

-        Yup! Like last week, dearest dad tootled us off to Dong Gei/Vietnam Corner for dinner~ As expected, I got very little (less than one bowl of rice, two wee slices of yummy pork, one small chunk of soya sauce chicken and one thin ever smaller slice of charsiu. Again, we shared that really cute little dessert! ^^

-        Back home, I used the loo once then walked myself slowly and safely back online, always and again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

-        Toms: late morning UQ physio with Zev. Fingers crossed I won’t haveta do any mat work … it’s my second least-favourite thing, after the tilt table!

-        Will undoubtedly munch half a toasted sandwich for lunch while PIG mum tootles me off to see Aunty Ann for a comfy massage~ Hopefully she’ll eat hers slowly and Aunty Ann can chat with me for a couple of minutes before PIG mum comes back and takes over all the talking! XD

-        Maybe it’s Aunty Lucia coming to mind me for one hour @ 4pm? Lol, I can never remember if it’s here or Aunty Kitty!

-        Fingers crossed that toms night I can get my Naruto fix and watch the latest episode of NRL Rookie!

-        Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms!

-        Cheers,

-        Em. ^^

 P.S. Will try this for awhile: typing my most into a Word document then copying and pasting it onto Blogger when PIG mum isn't watching. XD
