Tuesday Post 165

Good afternoon! Apologies for not posting yesterday; I didn’t get home from the hospital until like 6:15pm and then I had to dash off to Toastmasters! But just noting down that I only plodded 865 steps (spent half the day flat on my back, waiting for the neurosurgeon to reset my shunt’s pressure settings so I could get up and leave) then I went to Toastmasters! 

cheers,

Em. ^^

Monday post 165d

Good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Hopefully, Wally 2 will behave toms and I can report a proper plodding total but from like 7:30pm tonight I was hard @ work plodding … oh, just forget it. >< Anyways, final, final events for tonight?\

-        When the parents came home, dad said to get ready for dinner! I went and gave them their present first~

-        Dad took us to Woka Woka for dinner tonight; we had Peking Duck! I also had just under half a bowl of fried noodles (the second course of the Peking duck), just under half a bowl of rice, one wee chunk of taro, one thin slice of pork and lotsa yummy kalian. Oh, and I drank three lil cups of chinese tea; I prefer bol lei but dad likes heung peen.

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

-        Toms: it’s my yearly MRI, but my appointment isn’t till midday! PIG mum says I can ring Curtin University and ask about my login details; I could’ve started study today but still don’t have my login details yet.

-        I rang CODA this arvo, and told Maree to tell Darani that she’d better wait for me if I’m not home yet! Maybe I won’t be in time for Toastmasters but hey, I still want my Happy Meal (never mind that they were what I ate @ LEAST two DECADES ago! *sigh*)!

-        Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Monday Post 165c

Heylo again! Firstly, Em’s new plodding total for Monday now stands @ … WTF? Wally 2 has only given me twenty-one steps, yet I’ve not only had physio with Vincent, I’ve also walked all around Woolies with PIG mum buying groceries! >< Whatever … anyways, let’s continue with last night’s events first!

-        Argh, I had to let PIG mum gleefully FORCE L mew to walk outside and let her gleefully force mostly poor Ela to take down the day’s washing; argh, I HATES standing practice! ><

-        Next, when I could finally sit, I had to let her gleefully force Ela to feed me some strawberries and one banana. I didn’t really mind, coz I was seated and could fully concentrate; PIG mum was just annoying coz she kept giving me orders and not letting me talk! Indeed, she bossed me around like SEVENTY-FIVE TIMES over like twenty minutes! *sigh* Don’t worry, I’m used to her …

-        When I showered (obviously I washed and rinsed my hair today, dried and rekitted myself; PIG mum only ever helps with my bra and Elf’s AFO)), I also slowly, softly but most hatefully sang like 21% of my shorter second-favourite song slowly, softly but most hatefully out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.

-        After one more loo trip, dad tootles me to Pole’s place again, but this time for our small group breakup party!

-        Last night, Mel Mel went with me to get dinner. I got some chicken wings, some risotto (made by Pole), some vegetables (made by dad) and two slices of pizza (brought by Evan and Janice!)

-        After dinner, we had waffles for dessert! Huge thanks to Janice who cut up mine for me~

-        Then we played this really confusing game called sth like Codewords. You had to get your team guess the secret word (there were like sixteen laid out) with only one clue word! Mel went first for our team; she wasa too excited: when we guessed wrongly she got too stressed and sat not facing us! XD

-        Amazingly, josh picked me to try next! I did okay for a few rounds, but then got stuck, so Janice came to help me out. In the final go, we beat Kwany and the boys! XD

-        ‘twas like 10pm by then, so everyone had to go! I used their bathroom once first, then thanks to Evan and Janice who dropped me back home. Turns out they live practically beside the Zees!

-        Back home, the parents wouldn’t even lemme ring Aunty Nga. >< Zzz~

-        Today: yay, 7^th consecutive awesome sleep last night! That’s like the 6^th time this year I’ve enjoyed one straight week of awesome sleeps! Nature didn’t call until 7:20am, and after one pot :P trip, Daddy Bear and I cuddled and snored, coz I wanted to fall back asleep before dearest dad left for work one hour later!

-        Success~ I could already hear PIG mum a-STOMPING around upstairs before dad left, so I knew she’d be inside to hit me with the eye goo and help me slightly with a bra very soon.

Sure enough, I was spot on! I used the pot :P once more and gave myself fifteen more minutes before getting myself kitted, though. Whilst doing so, I also start 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 came back to help 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). That done, 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 was almost (but never quite *sigh*) one bowl of plain porridge with one chunk of unbuttered bread torn into it, one full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and one small half-mouthful of milk. Over breakfast, I also continue 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 breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely to the loo, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

-        For MSG today we go through another study of that Unrealistic Expectations of God book.

-        When they left, I used the loo once then PIG mum tootled me off to see Uncle Tom the Chinese herbalist for some left limb massage and acupuncture. While I lay there, mother yapped endlessly to Uncle Tom; today she related the tale of how we were meeting someone for lunch there was a break-in right before midday.

-        After that, we came home for lunch, pasta of some sort.

-         Before leaving to see Vincent the physio for my weekly torture session, I used the loo once more for one tinkle.

-        Physio today; sat first go, then stood entire session. Erf stood on wobble board for five minutes, then both legs for four minutes while hands held onto handles. Ela also picked up object from table; bent to left floor for Era to retrieve one also.

-        Afterwards, PIG mum and I went shopping @ the Warrigal Square Woolies for porridge and milk.

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

-        When Kim announced her arrival two minutes early, 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 lettinhg Him push me over.

-        So a nice hot shower for me – washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also sang like 22% 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 kindly helped with my back, Era and both calves), 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 my bra, Erf’s sock, Elf’s AFO and both laces). Afterwards, I went to the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era then headed outside for arvo tea: some yummy strawberries and one mug of green tea.

-        The main happiness was getting to read our awful book club novel (it’s really bad, meaning all the ladies will probably love it! XD) for one whole hour! I reached page  250 @ 5:30, BTW. I also rang CODA to cancel Saturday’s shift and to let someone know that I may be late toms arvo but to tell Darani just to wait for me.

-        Kim cleaned the bathroom then came back and very gently massaged Ela for like forty minutes, painting her white with pink spots today.

-        After watching the sports report together, Kim took me once more to the loo for two tinkles before I signed her off with my thanks and byes. She’s back Thursday.

-        Fingers crossed we’ll eat out tonight to celebrate my parents 32^ND wedding anniversary!

-        Toms: lol … me very nervous; I’m going for my yearly MRI! Fingers crossed for a nurse that’ll get the cannula in with one go; also fingers crossed that there’ll be no emergencies and the neurosurgeon will come quickly and reset my shunt’s pressure settings so that I can leave! I’ve got Toastmasters toms night and I don’t wanna miss out! Besides, I need my fortnightly Happy Meal. XD

-        Anyways, fingers crossed I can bbl, else hope everyone has a smashing day toms!

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Monday Post 165b

Good afternoon! Firstly, my final, final plodding total for Sunday actually stands @ 1887; secondly, today I’ve been hard @ work plodding 644 steps (but hopefully I’ll pass 1000 before the night’s out) and thirdly, TWFT topic’s ‘Overcoming Temptation (3)’ but fourthly and way most importantly, I’m still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after I get back home from my weekly torture session with Vincent the physio!! Anyways, let’s start off with yesterday’s events first!

-        I’d just enjoyed my most important two hours online and was starting the Lumosity brain games when PIG mum tumbled downstairs from pigland, gleefully and immediately boot me offline. Pity, she ruined my eight/nine day streak!

Cheers,

Em. ^^

P.S. Excuse the first post; I was just excited that I could post before midday coz I'm hardly ever home until the afternoon. XD

Monday Post 165

Good morning!

Sunday Post 165

Good afternoon! Firstly, today I’ve been hard @ work plodding  steps; secondly, TWFT topic’s ‘Overcoming Temptation (2)’ and thirdly, the spam count for the weekend’s twenty-two. Anyways, events for today?

~ Yay, 6^th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn’t call until 6:30am, and after one pot :P trip, Daddy Bear and I immediately cuddled and tried to fall back asleep, coz PIG mum would come into my room @ 7:30am and I wanted to use the pot :P once more before she came!

-        Well, I wasn’t successful this morning, but that’s alright. No biggie~ After PIG mum hit me with the eye goo and helped me very slightly with a bra and tee (only because dearest dad hadn’t been in to kiss me bye before leaving for church first), I gave myself fifteen more minutes then got myself mostly independently kitted.

After PIG mum came back and helped me with Elf’s AFO and both laces, I let her gleefully FORCE L me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth (poor Ela). That done, I used the loo for two tinkles, also fully leaning against the side rail and starting 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*

-        That done, I wash and dry Era before walking myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

Breakfast is almost (but never quite *sigh*) one bowl of porridge with one small chunk of unbuttered bread torn into it, one full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and one small half mouthful of milk. Over breakfast, I also continue 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 PIG mum’s finished preparing herself, I let her gleefully FORCE L me to walk to the 4WD and she tootles us off to church. As always, of course she gleefully forces me to buckle my own seatbelt; she also won’t lemme listen to any music because she ‘wants to prepare her heart to worship God’, whatever that means. No biggie, I’m already occupied. I spend the car trip until the Logan Rd. intersection repeatedly telling the cruel and unfaithful God to just stay the eff outta my life if He won’t completely heal me, then I spend the rest of 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 use the loo once first, then PIG mum leaves me inside the otherwise empty classroom and bolts off to join the Cantonese service.

-        Today, we study First Kings 15.

-        Afterwards, I use the loo once more then let PIG mum gleefully FORCE L me to walk all the way to the main hall for service. Just like with Bible study, the moment I’m seated she bolts away, this time toher very informal fellowship with the other aunties, where they just drink coffee and gossip; they don’t actually study anything biblical.

-        Yay, I get to stay seated for worship today. It helps when nobody’s sitting beside you! XD Today I sang everything, plus the harmony for two songs, but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*

-        Speaker today was Pastor Chris, who gave another sermon from his Daniel series, ‘In the Lions’ Den’.

-        Afterwards, I headed down to A7/8 for our EM luncheon!

-        I sat @ a table with Jo, Alex, Charles and Leo, Ray’s brother! He’s only twenty-seven and works in accounting, just like Ray~

-        Alex walked behind me to grab two three inch chunks of subway; one ham and the other beef.

-        Over lunch, I tried to find somebody who could take me to Sunday sports, but to no avail. *sigh* Another lonely arvo of staring @ the computer for me, then …

-        I rang PIG mum to please come pick me up afterwards I’d finished eating and had chats with Esther and Becca. Alas, horrid PIG mum was immediately @ me for some kinda bad posture while I was letting her gleefully FORCE L me to walk back up to the 4WD but hey, she’s always like that. *sigh*

-        Back home, I used the loo once then 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.

-        Tonight I’m back @ Pole’s place for our farewell small group dinner! Doubtless dad will be @ me again to eat only one plate and NO MORE, but hey. I’ll just make it a heaped plate. XD

-        Toms: think I’ve got MSG! Whoops, will haveta quickly do the next study over breakfast; I haven’t done it yet!

-        Seeing Uncle Tom the Chinese herbalist for some massage and acupuncture afterwards.

-        Will doubtless come home for lunch with dearest dad afterwards~

-        Early afternoon torture session with Vincent the physio …

-        Kim’s coming to mind me from 4pm till 6pm. Fingers crossed I’ll get to read for one hour again!

-        Also fingers crossed that we’ll go out for dinner toms night; August the 29^th’s my parents WEDDING ANNIVERSARY! Thirty-two years this year`

-        So hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Saturday Post 165c

One final good evening! Em’s final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2421. anyways, final, final events for tonight?

- 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: just church, definitely nothing special. Actually, the special thing can be that we’ve got EM lunch together afterwards and tonight I’m going back to Pole’s house for our small group break up dinner coz Sisi and Pole are about to pop babies out! Anyways, hope to see everyone @ church toms!

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Saturday Post 165c

Good evening again! Em’s new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2312. righteo, continuing today’s events?

-        I took a nice hot shower – I washed and rinsed my hair today. I also sang 25% 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 (thanks to Kim who helped me dry my back, Era and both legs), 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). Then I used the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era then headed out to the gobbling :P table for arvo tea.

-        I drank one mug of green tea and munched some strawberries/one banana while Kim cleaned the bathroom then sat down to gently massage Ela for awhile.

-        When dad came home, I used the loo once more, said my thanks and byes to Kim and got into the 4WD. Dad tootled me to Pole’s place for her baby shower!

-        Arrived, dad gave me a hand down the stairs (the rail’s on the left) before leaving. Joey came over and gave me a sheet of paper; the instructions were to write a happy thought for a bad day. I wrote, “Poke your hubby; he’s wildly ticklish and will laugh, then you’ll feel better.” XD

-        We played games like guess how big Pole’s tummy is (I just got Julz to wrap the string around me twice; I was wildly off, obviously XD) and name one person that fits that category and another game were we had to guess whether products were real or invented. Hey, our team won a jar of M ‘n’ m’s; I must ask Julz did she save me any!

-        Arvo tea was great; thanks to Mel Mel who walked behind me and lemme get one of everything. Best of all was the waffle maker; I’m now a fan of chocolate syrup plus chocolate topping! :D

-        Afterwards, thanks to Julz who walked behind me to the loo once and back; I managed fine by myself.

-        Back seated, I had a lovely chat with Jess; did you know, she’s pregnant too! Her baby’s coming next February, her hubby’s a teacher just like her and they’re moving to Shailer Park really soon!

-        When Mel Mel said Kwany had arrived to pick us up; I took a Polaroid photo with Pole then Mel Mel walked behind me back to their car and Kwany tootled me home.

-        Back home, I used the loo once then 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’d been online just over one hour when dad randomly booted me offline; I had to let him gleefully FORCE L me to plod 800 steps on the bloody cross trainer for him. I actually did 825 and for the second consecutive night will most definitely be singing myself to sleep, SCREW counting! ><

-        Dinner tonight: the yummy rice, lotsa yummy wombok, lotsa sweet carrot and lotsa some other vegetable. Oh, and one thin sliver of Spam ham.

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

-        Anyways, fingers crossed I can bbl shortly after 9pm following one last loo trip with my final, final plodding total for Saturday, then final, final events for tonight plus what’s happening toms, else hope to see everyone @ church toms!

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Saturday Post 165b

Heylo again, and good evening! Em’s new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ … PIG mum still hasn’t tumbled downstairs from pigland yet. XD Righteo, continuing events for today?

-        Besta cooked me fried rice for lunch first, coz I told her Kim would come supervise my shower @ 1pm when she left. Lunch was almost (but never quite *sigh*) one bowl of yummy fried rice with one yummy mug of chai latte, coz we’re outta black tea bags!

-        When Kim arrived, Besta kindly let her inside then left. I followed, heading straight into – bbl!

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Saturday Post 165

Good evening! Firstly, today I’ve been hard @ work plodding steps (I daren’t press Wally 2 without PIG mum here, lest I inadvertently reset him! >< XD) and secondly, TWFT topic’s ‘Overcoming Temptation (1)’ but thirdly and way most importantly, I’m still owed FIFTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after dinner tonight!! Anyways, events for today?

~ Yay, 5^th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn’t call until like 7:20am again, and after one pot :P trip, I spent the ten minutes till 7:30am starting 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*

-        right after I’d finished, PIG mum came to hit me with eye goo before leaving for work. After she’d left, dearest dad tucked me back into bed then Daddy Bear and I happily snored together all the way until like 9:45am before nature called again!

-        Besta actually arrived slightly late today, but I didn’t mention it coz she often leaves slightly late, too. Juice waved @ her (both she and dearest dad call him Juicy XD) and she left Daddy Bear and I to snore for fifteen more minutes (hence why she didn’t suffer Bear Bum today XD)

-        When she came back, I swung myself over to the pot :P once more for three tinkles. When I was managing the turn, Besta asks me, “What news?” see, I think she likes me to share with her how I’ve spent this past week; today I told her about the difficulties I went through before I got my blood test.

After Besta got me kitted, I went over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Thanks to Besta who squirted me some toothpaste; Ela enjoyed her once weekly reprieve~ I drank one mug of water afterwards then went and did a stinky unspeakable, also fully leaning 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!

-        That done, I wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast. Thanks to dad who’s left me half a slice of yummy egg and (literally) paper-thin Spam ham; also 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 with two sugars and suck the teabag once. :P

-        After breakfast, while Besta gently massages Ela, we continue watching the equestrian events from the Olympics that mother kindly taped for me. You get four fault if the horse knocks down a rail and disqualified if the rider tumbles off the horse, BTW.

-        At midday, Besta takes me to the loo for one tinkle then makes me one mug of warm Milo. I try without success to ring Aunty Lai but don’t reach her. When I try for Aunty Nga, Mickey answers and tells me she’s still sleeping, so I ask him to tell her please to gimme a call when she wakes up then immediately hang up on him. Hah, serves him right for always hanging up on me! XD

-        While Besta cooks somew fried rice for my lunch, I enjoy watching more of the showjumping. Aunty Nga rings back, and we chat for like ten minutes; I wonder did Mickey wake her up?

Friday Post 215b

Heylo again and good evening! Em’s new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 1268. Anyways, events for today?

-        Yay, 4^th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn’t call until 7:20am, and after one pot :P trip, Daddy Bear and I cuddled and went straight back to sleep, coz during Winter dearest dad doesn’t leave for work until like 8:20am!

-        Actually, dearest dad left for work @ 8:15am; after he left, Daddy Bear and I immediately resumed our hapy snorings together, because PIG mum usually comes into my room around 9:15am; I didn’t really want her to find me peeing when she entered! XD

For some reason, nature called early, @ 8:55am. After one pot :P trip, I spent the ten minutes till 9:05am 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*

-        When she does come downstairs, PIG mum hits me with the eye goo, helps me slightly with a bra then leaves me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I do after giving myself fifteen more minutes. While getting dressed, I also sing about ¼ of my shorter second-favourite song slowly, softly but most hatefully out aloud, closing my left eye for all the important numbers coz I know I won’t have the chance to when Aunty Lucia’s minding me this arvo.

PIG mum comes back to help with Elf’s AFO and both laces (nice, I get one day of shoelace tying practice today) and then I let her gleefully FORCE L me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth (poor Ela). Afterwards, I sit over the loo for two tinkles, 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. 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*

-        That done, I 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 is almost (but never quite! ><’ XD) one bowl of plain porridge with one slice of unbuttered bread torn into it, one full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and one small half-mouthful of milk. Over breakfast, I also 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 to the 4WD and she tootles me off to UQ for physio. We listen to 97.3FM all day, of course, she gleefully forces me to buckle my own seatbelt all day and today, Era helps Ela stretch for forty minutes before Ela opens and closes her palm 250 times, holding each for a count of five. Only the traffic’s terrible this morning; @ 10:55pm I ring the NAB and tell them I’m still coming, but just late!

-        Physio today: ten minutes tilt table with mini squats, forty-five minutes mat work with four, two and one (Elf) point kneeling, walking around gym and walking two laps along hallway. Today I also had a new student, Megan! Turns out sam’s my student for Tuesday but I get Megan on Fridays. Also turns out that this Saturday’s Megan’s 21^st birthday!

-        After physio, I use the loo once more then munch half a yummy toasted chicken and mayo sandwich while PIG mum tootles me off to see Aunty Ann for a comfy massage.

Cheers,

Em. ^^
P.S. Apologies this post comes one day late~

Thursday Post 215e

One final good evening! Em’s final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @1492. lol, I’m sure I’ll pass 1500 some day, just not today. XD Anyways, final, final events for Thursday?

-        Dad bought us Chinese takeaway for dinner! Not sure why he couldn’t just take mother and I out to dinner … it’s just not quite the same. *sigh* But I had some fried rice, lotsa broccoli, some fish, and one yummy little chunk of fried chicken.

-        Dinner was washed down with one bowl of soup before 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.

-        Only no sooner had I sat down did the parents order me to come back and watch the NRL with them! I didn’t mind who won tonight’s game, though: the Cowboys are Queenslanders, and I attended Canterbury College!

-        So I watched till half time with dearest dad, Ela holding hands with him, Era cuddling my dearest Bear Bear.

-        Once half time arrived, I used the loo once more then 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.

-        Toms: late morning UQ physio with Sam.

-        Will doubtless munch half a toasted sandwich while PIG mum tootles me off to see Aunty Ann for a comfy massage; fingers crossed I’ll get the chance to chat with her some before PIG mum scoffs down her half of the toastie, barges inside and dominates all conversation. XD

-        This arvo, Good Health rang and said my blood test results were ready; wonder will PIG mum make an appointment for me to see Dr. Ku for the results toms?

-        Aunty Lucia’s coming to mind me for one hour @ 4pm; must remember to sing my shorter second-favourite song toms while I’m getting myself mostly independently kitted, coz I won’t get the chance to toms arvo. Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms!

Cheers,

Em. ^^

P.S. Tee hee, I managed five posts today~ XD

Thursday Post 215d

A third good evening! Well, from 6pm I can note down that I was hard @ work plodding 1312 steps. Anyways, continuing tonight’s events?

- When dad called dinner, I used the loo once first then walked myself slowly and safely to join him @ the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

- Argh, I’m still owed FOUR MINUTES online! ><

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Thursday Post 215c

Good evening again! Em’s bnew plodding total for Thursday now stands @ … sorry, I daren’t press Wally 2 lest he reset himself of me again! XD So, just continuing events for Thursday?

-        After I flip the nice hot water off, I mostly dry myself (thanks to Kim who helps me dry my back, Era and both legs), mostly cream myself (again, thanks to Kim who helps me cream my back, Era and both legs, then mostly rekit myself (thanks to Kim who kindly helps with Erf’s sock, Elf’s AFO and both laces). After using the loo for one tinkle, I wash and dry Era then walk out to the gobbling :P table for arvo tea.

-        Too bad, Kim won’t lemme enjoy one more mug of white tea with two sugars, but peppermint tea tastes nicer than green tea~ The second half of lunch, however, doesn’t taste anywhere near as fresh. *sigh* I happily read my book club novel for forty-five minutes, reaching page 250 @ 5:25pm thereabouts. Kim cleans the bathroom then sits and gently massages Ela for fifty-five minutes, although I’ve forgotten which colours, sorry.

-        Before leaving, Kim takes me to the loo once more, where I do my second stinky unspeakable for today. I suspect that lunch was too oily …

-        Alas, the moment dad gets home, I haveta let him gleefully FORCE L me plod 800 steps on the bloody cross trainer for him, meaning that I’m definitely singing myself to sleep tonight, SCREW counting! ><

-        Looks like dad’s refusing to take us out for dinner again … *sigh*

-        Toms: late morning UQ physio with Sam.

-        Will doubtless munch half a toasted sandwich for lunch while PIG mum tootles me – fingers crossed I can bbl!

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Thursday Post 215b

Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em’s potential final, final plodding total, from 4pm, now stands @ . Anyways, potential final, final events for tonight?

-        Writers  group was awesome, as always~ About fourteen people attended, and homework for next fortnight’s ‘A Twist in The Tail/Tale’. For morning tea, I got a Tim Tam! ^^

-        Afterwards, I used the loo once more and Eileen walked me out, where Aunty Jo was already waiting for me~

-        Like always, we went to Woka Woka for half a lunch. Aunty Jo bets that I can’t eat one whole meal myself but I bet I can; hopefully PIG mum’ll lemme try next time I’m with her coz Aunty Jo says if I can, she’ll shout me lunch!

-        When we get home, I sit over the loo and play Candy Crush. XD Aunty Jo randomly passes me one mug of water and I randomly do a stinky unspeakable.

-        After washing and drying Era, I say my thanks and byes to Aunty Jo, lock the door after the garage door goes down then 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.

-        Around 3pm, nature suddenly calls, so I walk myself slowly and safely to the loo, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I sit over the loo and play Candy Crush while awaiting PIG mum’s safe return home. XD

-        When Kim announced her arrival two minutes early, 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 wash and rinse my own hair. I also sing 40% of my shorter second-favourite song slowly, softly but most hatefully out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.

-        After I flip the nice hot water off, I mostly dry myself (thanks to Kim who helps me dry my back, Era and both legs), mostly cream myself (again, thanks to Kim who – argh, fingers crossed I can bbl, coz I’m still owed TWENTY-TWO MINUTES online!!!

Cheers,

Em. ^

Thursday Post 215

Good afternoon! Firstly, I’ve been hard @ work plodding … I still dunno how to use Wally 2 yet! XD Secondly, TWFT topic’s ‘Instead of Judging People, Let’s Love Them’ but thirdly and way most importantly, I’m still owed THIRTY MINUTES online after Kim leaves tonight!! Anyways, events for today?

~ Yay, 3^rd awesome consecutive last night! Nature didn’t call until 6:30am, and after one pot :P trip, I immediately tried to fall back asleep, coz I knew PIG mum would be entering my room after one hour. I wasn’t successful this time; instead, I used the pot :P once more just before 7:30am.

-        Lol, today almost 1.5 minutes elapsed between dearest dad opening the garage door to leave for work and PIG mum entering my room. Record, sometimes she’s come within thirty seconds! XD

So after she hits me with the eye goo and helps me slightly with a bra, I give myself fifteen more minutes then get myself mostly independently kitted. I also spend ten minutes starting 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 to help me with Elf’s AFO and my laces (only coz she doesn’t wanna be late for work; I’m sure I’ll be tying Elf’s laces with Kim this arvo) before I let her gleefully FORCE L me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth (poor Ela. At least last night she was spared this, coz PIG mum’d already gone upstairs). 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 walk myself 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 is almost (but never quite *sigh*) one bowl of plain porridge with one slice of unbuttered toast torn into it; one full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I also finish 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 me off to the Garbo library. Of course, she gleefully forced me to buckle my own seatbelt all day, we listened to 97.3FM for the trip and Era helped Ela stretch for ten minutes, before Ela opened and closed her palm fifty times, holding each for a count of five.

-        At the library, PIG mum drops two bucks for my morning tea and races off to work.

-        Anyways, Kim should arrive soon, so fingers crossed I can bbl after she leaves, else hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms!

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 215d

One final good evening! Em’s final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 1294. righteo, final, final events for Wednesday?

-        I was playing Bejeweled (my addiction of choice XD) until 9pm, when I walked myself slowly and safely once 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. It’s a dreadful shame, I think: that PIG mum considers watching If You Are The One more importantly that making sure her disabled daughter gets safely to the bathroom and back. >< *sigh*

-        Anyways, tonight’s ice cream night, yeah! Like I say every week, a very little’s better than none @ all!

-        Toms: writers group! Hopefully PIG mum’ll remember to print out my homework for me tonight~

-        Aunty jo’s picking me up afterwards and taking me for half a lunch afterwards @ doubtless Woka Woka. Fingers crossed PIG mum’ll gimme enough cash to have a cold Milo with ice cream for my meal. XD

-        Kim’s coming to mind me from 4pm till 6pm; fingers crossed I’ll get to read for one hour again!

-        And I’m not gonna ask dad to take PIG mum and I out to dinner toms night, unless he can manage an early one, coz I’m planning to watch the Broncos vs. Storm match toms night! I wanted to read the match preview, but have just exceeded the PISSY two hours of net time PIG mum so gleefully restricts me to, and better not. *sigh* Never mind, toms then.

-        Righteo, hope everyone’s having a smashing week!

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Wednesday post 215c

Good evening again! Em’s new plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 1211. anyways, continuing events for tonight?

-        Argh, when PIG mum tumbled downstairs from pigland, she immediately booted me offline and I had to let her gleefully FORCE L me to stand for forty minutes and use the Wii Fit for her; argh, I HATES standing practice! >< Still, I suppose I should be thankful that I had one night off from this pointless standing yesterday; I can only hope that PIG mum’s too tired from working half a day toms and won’t again force me to endure of this hated standing practice thing for her toms … *sigh*

-        I’d just finished using the Wii Fit for PIG mum; I was sitting on the sofa and cuddling my dearest Bear Bear, waiting for PIG mum to gleefully force poor Ela to use Wii Sports Resort for her, when dad called dinner. After getting a spoon, I used the loo once first, walking myself there and back slowly and safely, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

-        Dinner tonight: the yummy rice, lotsa yummy broccoli, some cod and two small chunks of pretty tasteless soup pork. Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of fishy soup before I walked myself slowly and safely online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

-        Anyways, hopefully 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. ^^

Wednesday Post 215b

Heylo and good afternoon again! Firstly, Em’s new plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 967 (hopefully I’ll pass 1000 before the night’s out) but secondly and way more importantly, I’m still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-FIVE MINUTES online after someone leaves tonight!! Righteo, lemme briefly recount yesterday’s events first!

-        When someone arrived, I stayed online till 4:45pm then had my quickest possible shower, washing and rinsing my own hair.

-        After getting dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was some strawberries and one mug of green tea.

-        Someone tootled me out to Toastmasters! We got to listen tosome of Seven’s 6pm news simulcast on 96.5FM~

-        Toastmasters was great fun, as always! My warm-up session went well, Bruce was the Toastmaster and his theme was ‘Achieve Like An Olympian’; he’d also passed everyone a little gold medal, which was really a little chocolate! ^^

-        For some reason, nature called halfway and someone took me to the loo @ the interval; she suggested I didn’t go again when we left. No probs.

-        I got my Happy Meal with an orange juice; the only problem was that they forgot to gimme a toy!!! >< darani refused to go back and get one for me; I’ve told her she now owes me a toy. XD

-        I quickly did the Lumosity games for mother and only got ten points, of course. I’m curious, though: how are the points for Penguin Pursuit calculated? Coz ireached level ten last night and thought for sure I’d make my Top 5, but I didn’t?

-        Today: woo hoo, second awesome consecutive sleep last night! Nature didn’t call until like 7:15am, and after one pot :P trip, I went straight back to sleep with Daddy Bear, so that I could use the pot :P once more when dearest dad left for work one hour later.

Success~ After he’d gone, I spent ten minutes starting 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 returned to our happy snorings together. Usually, I sleep till around 9am before waking again, but today I stayed comatose until like 9:40am!

-        Hey, fingers crossed I can bbl, else hope everyone’s having a smashing week!

Cheers,

Em. ^^

-        Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn’t call until 6:30am~

-        Saw Dr. Ku to get my bladder scan report; all fine.

-        Went next door and a blood lady tried to take my blood, which failed. She said to drink lotsa water first and try come back later.

-        Came home and had watery cabonara pasta for lunch with lotsa yummy wombok and yummy black fungus. Drank one mug of Chinese tea.

-        Headed out to UQ for Ela’s 1.5hr session. My next student for the next five week’s a young man called Samuel who’s twenty-two (he took a gap year before doing physio)

-        Someone’s here now to mind me and taking me out to Toastmasters tonight; we’re in P-419 and I’m the Warm-up Master! Fingers crossed PIG mum’ll lemme bring some dinner back home from Maccas, never mind that Happy Meals were what I ate @ LEAST two DECADES ago!!

-        Toms: will presumably go grocery shopping with PIG mum, unless she wants to take me to Logan for the blood test?

-        Aunty Deana’s coming to mind me from 12:30pm till 3:30pm.

-        Someone’s coming back to mind me from 4pm till 6pm.
