Friday Post 293b

Heylo again and probably one final greeting for Friday! Em’s probable final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 2207. not sure what time dad’s taking us down to Surfers, so just briefly;

• Aww, my awesome sleep streak ended @ 2:30am this morning when nature called. Never mind, hopefully I can begin a new one right away!
• Saw Vincent the physio for my once-weekly torture session. Physio today: stood entire session, bent eleven times to ground for Ela to touch object, reaching for both hands, weightshifting, leaning forwards, turned two 360s and standing only on Erf's tippytoes for thirty seconds
• Went out and had lunch with Fiona @ Rice paper Vietnamese Cuisine! Highlight of my week: having TWO HK-style cold milk tea in one week! :D
• Saw Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Elf seems like she’s getting more sensitive: the whole foot/leg jerked when ray poked a needle into her!
• Kim came and minded me from 3om till 5pm.
• A nice warm shower for me – I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
• Arvo tea was the yummy custard bun I’d bought with Kim yesterday plus one mug of green tea. Happiness was reading for eighty-five minutes! Today I reached pg. 100 @ 4;17 then pg. 125 @ 4:52
• Dad’s taking us down to the Surfers paradise markets tonight!
• Expect a super-pissy plodding total from me toms coz I’m not going out. Besta’s minding me from 10am till 2pm; will remember to shower @ 12:30pm coz Kim’s not coming from 4pm till 6pm.
• Instead, think Tina’s coming @ 2pm to chat and bake!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Friday Post 293

Good afternoon! Firstly, today I’ve been hard @ work plodding 1520 steps (ha, I’m just over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, TWFT topic’s “If I Could Only Know For Sure’ and thirdly, the spam count for the week’s thirteen but fourthly and way most importantly, I’m still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-SIX MINUTES online after I see Ray for some acupuncture and massage!! So fingers crossed I can bbl with today’s events, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!

Cheers,

Em. ^^
P.S. Mightn't have enough time to enjoy my most important two hours online tonight because dad's taking PIG mum and I down to Surfers Paradise, but just noting down that I endured a torture session with Vin - bbl!

Thursday Post 293d

Good evening again and one final greeting for Thursday! Em’s final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2280. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

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

• Toms: early morning torture session with Vincent the bloody physio. WTF, I thought a public holiday means I get to skip one session with him! I mean, when I have a NAB session scheduled over a public holiday, I don’t get rescheduled for a makeup one, why does PIG mum make me endure a makeup one with him?
• Huh, if she won’t pay the forty bucks for me to study that cert in office admin, I’m refusing to see Vincent the bloody physio for a torture session toms and using that money to pay for the course myself! ><
• But looking forward to catching up with Fiona and having an early lunch with her @ the Rice Paper Vietnamese cuisine place!
• PIG mum has stressed I’ve gotta be home by 1:30pm, coz I’ve got an appointment to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage @ 2pm. Lol, bet she’s just dying to yap @ him. XD
• Then Kim’s coming to mind me between 4pm till 6pm coz she’s not coming Saturday. Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms!

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Thursday Post 293c

Good evening! Firstly, Em’s new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2227 (aw, why couldn’t I have walked five less steps? 2222 would’ve sounded cooler! XD) and secondly, Joni’s devotional topic’s ‘Just Do The Next Thing’. Anyways, continuing tonight’s events?

• The moment I’ve used the entirety of my most important two hours online, I start doing the Lumosity brain games for PIG mum.
• When dad calls dinner, I use the loo for one tinkle then walk myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Now @ 8:31pm, I’ve finished one more game of Bejeweled lasting 8:37. Right, promise I’ll not play again until toms. XD
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa dearest dad’s home-grown hairy melon, (I begged outta having any icky bitter vegetable XD), one bony chunk of charsiu, one tasteless chunk of charsiu and some yummy scrambled egg and charsiu.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup, after which I took my bowl over to the sink then walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Anyways, fingers crossed I can bbl shortly after 9pm following one last loo trip with my final, final plodding total for Thursday, the final, final events for tonight plus what’s happening Friday, else wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Thursday Post 293b

Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em’s potential final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2112a, I’m just over two grand. XD Righteo, potential final, final events for Thursday?

• After, nature calls roughly every hour until Kim announces her arrival five minutes early. Sweet, today she sticks her head in and announces fifteen more minutes before heading back down the hallway to let PIG mum yap @ her. XD
• My fifteen minutes up, I feign sleep when Kim comes calling. Today, instead of shaking the blankets, she taps Daddy Bear! “Ted, tell Emily to wake up,” she orders.
• We get me kitted (I do the tee, my pants and Elf’s socks; Kim does the rest) then I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for only one tinkle, coming out when I realise I feel like doing a stinky unspeakable.
• Thanks to Kim who got a spoon for me~ Breakfast was two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Whilst happily watching Sunrise (thanks Kim for turning the television on), I also spend ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*

Breakfast finished, I walk myself slowly and safely to the loo, 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!

• That done, Kim tootles me out to Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown for my fortnightly shopping trip! We find parking outside the library, and after using the loo for one tinkle, I grab Kylie Chan’s ‘Demon Child’, sit and happily read for about one hour, reaching pg. 100 @ 9:50am, pg. 111 @ 10;09am and pg. 125 @ 10;29am.
• After posting an update to Facebook and using the loo for one more tinkle, Kim and I begin shopping!
• First, we grab a trolley and start shopping @ Woolies. Caitlin’s back! When I groused @ her how could she go on a cruise and not come back any fatter she sheepishly answered, “I had trouble doing up my work tee buttons this morning!” XD
• Next, Kim buys me one sausage bun and one custard bun from New Your Baguette (I wait outside, hanging onto the trolley coz the shop’s too narrow and the trolley wouldn’t fit inside) before we head upstairs and finish our shopping @ Coles.
• Wow, it’s only 11:30am by the time our shopping’s finished! We just sit outside the lift and poke away @ our smartphones before Kim tootles me off to Woka Woka Underwood to meet Pastor Grace for lunch~
• What good timing! We arrive simultaneously~
• Today I order the teriyaki stir fry udon with a cold milk tea and Pastor Grace orders the baked spag bol with a cold Ovaltine.
• Over lunch, she tells me all about Naomi’s first few days of school plus how she’s making some program about second generation Christian evangelism.
• She left @ 1:15pm; hence why I didn’t bother ringing Kim.
• Yay, dad was already home when we arrived home, meaning I didn’t need to turn off the alarm!
• So a nice warm shower for me – I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
• I had one tinkle before I flipped the nice warm water off, mostly dried myself (thanks to Kim who kindly helped me dry my back, both legs and Era), mostly cream myself (again, thanks to Kim who kindly helped me cream my back, both calves and Era) then mostly rekit myself (thanks to Kim who kindly helps me with Erf’s sock, my bra strap, Elf’s AFO and both laces). Then I use the loo for one tinkle, dry inside both ears, wash and dry Era then 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.
• Kim cleans the bathroom before sitting down to very gently and very sporadically massage Ela for about thirty minutes while using her smartphone. Her hubby’s surname’s Do, BTW.
• When PIG mum gets home, I let her nab half my yummy sausage bun for arvo tea, before sneaking my mobile into the loo and playing Candy Crush; I randomly pass another two levels! Oh, and I do another stinky unspeakable. Unsure why PIG mum starts bitching @ me after I return online, but hey.
• Toms: mid-morning torture session with Vincent the bloody physio. >< But should I survive that, Fi’s taking me for lunch @ Rice Paper Vietnamese Cuisine!
• Then I’m seeing Ray for some acupuncture and massage; bet PIG mum’s simply dying to yap unceasingly @ him. XD
• Kim’s coming to mind me from 4pm till 6pm, coz she’s not coming Saturday.
• Anyways, hopefully bbl after dinner, else hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms!

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Thursday Post 293

Good afternoon! Firstly, today I’ve been hard @ work plodding 1932 steps (and I’m fairly certain I’ll have smashed 2000 before the day’s out) and secondly, TWFT topic’s ‘Reduce Your Debt’ but thirdly and way most importantly, I’m still owed  ONE HOUR and TEN MINUTESm nab @ least half my arvo tea!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 3rdnsecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn’t call until 5:50am, and after one pot :P trip, I spend the ten minutes till 6am beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• At 3:11pm, I finished one game of Bejeweled lasting 5:14. Now, lemme play one more game lasting in between six and seven minutes, and I promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• Now @ 3:24pm, I’ve finished another game of Bejeweled lasting 6:17. That’s today’s quotas satisfied, and I promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 293c

Good evening again and one final greeting for Wednesday! Em’s final, final plodding total for tonight now stands @ 1715. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• For the 4^th time ever, today Era helped Ela stretch for one HOUR! Ela also opened and closed her palm 400 times, holding each for a count of five and Era helped rub Ela’s fingers for five minutes.
• Phew, the parents lemme use Sparkless2!!
• After we all visited the bathroom, we begin browsing. Lol, I come across a stall selling vegan donuts; since nobody’s buying, I wheel myself over and ask the guy, “Do you vegans just eat lotsa beans? I mean, they eat even less than vegetarians!” The guy laughs then responds, “I’m not vegan. I just run a vegan shop. XD” After a quick chat, I bid him a good day and have turned myself around when he goes, “Wait!” I turn back to face him, and he’s holding a donut out! “Try that,” the guy grins but I’m like, “Sorry, I don’t have any cash on me…” but he replies, “No, please. Just try.” I take a chomp and reply, “Yum! Wow, thanks, I’m a convert.” I wheel myself back to the main path, intending to finish the donut when I reached the road, but then suddenly dad appears! “Where’d you get that?” He demands. When I point out the stall I’ve just left to him, his next demand is, “Gimme a bite.” I’ve more/less resigned myself to losing like 2/3 of the delicious donut when suddenly dad’s mobile rings! He turns to answer it, and I quickly stuff the rest of my donut down my gob before he finishes talking on the phone. XD
• For lunch, we share a hot dog and a German pretzel; just a big soft pastry pretzel! Dad chose savory; wonder how sweet ones taste?
• Today’s pickings: dad bought a belt, mother a really ugly top and I got a leather bookmark the man personally immediately engraved into the leather for me! Dad was so impressed he immediately bought a bookmark himself and got the guy to engrave his name with pretty calligraphy writing, too~ XD
• And that was the day! Eumundi’s so far up north that there wasn’t any reception for neither 97.3FM nor 4KQ, BTW.
• After dad tootles us home, I head straight into the bathroom for my nice warm shower – I wash and rinse my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sing 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
• I have one tinkle before I flip the nice warm water off, dry and rekit myself. PIG mum helps only with drying my back, doing Elf’s AFO straps and tying both shoelaces for me.
• After lifting the toilet lid (Kim kindly does that for me, after showering but PIG mum obviously won’t), I sit for one tinkle, dry inside both ears, wash and dry Era then 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.
• The parents call dinner just over one hour later. Before joining them @ the gobbling :P table, 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.
• Dinner tonight’s the usual boiled tasteless affair: rice, lotsa dearest dad’s home-grown hairy melon (I have LOTSA melon in exchange for not having any icky bitter vegetable), some silver perch, some tasteless soup meat and one yummy lil Chinese mushroom.
• Dinner’s spooned down with one bowl of soup before I take my bowl back over to the sink 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.
• At 9pm, I walk myself slowly and safely to the loo for onbe more tinkle and back, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Tonight’s ice cream night; yay for that! Like I say every week, a very little’s better than none @ all!
• Toms: yay Kim’s taking me out shopping! Looking forward also to meeting Pastor Grace for lunch @ Woka Woka underwood!
• Then fingers crossed dad will take mother and I out for ldinner toms night! Righteo, hope everyone’s having a smashing week~

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 293b

Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em’s new plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 1656 and secondly, Joni’s devotional topic’s ‘What Matters Most’ but thirdly and way most importantly, I’m still owed TEN MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, continuing last night’s events?

• After one more loo trip, Carol tootled me back to the Warrigal Square Maccas for my Happy Meal with an orange juice. She brought cold lasagna for her own dinner.
• Back home, thanks to PIG mum who lemme quickly do each Lumosity brain game once before booting me off to bed. Zzz~
• Today: yay, 2^nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn’t call until PIG mum started a-THUMPING around upstairs @ 7:05; either she flew downstairs else I was just lethargic; when she let herself into my room I was still over the pot! :P
• After PIG mum hit me with the eye goo and helped me exceedingly slightly with not only the bra strap but the tee 9coz dearest dad’s @ home) she left me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first. I also use ten minutes and begin 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 with Elf’s AFO and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE L me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Amazingly, though, she doesn’t gleefully force poor Ela to hold the toothbrush and just leaves to set out breakfast for me, score!
• Teeth brushed, 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 created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After washing and drying Era, I walked 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.
• After grabbing myself a spoon, breakfast was two plain (no honey) Weet-Bix, all my usual drugs :P and our largest mug of water. Over breakfast, I also spend ten minutes 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!
• Breakfast finished, I’m considering should I head out to the 4WD/wait in the garage for the parents, but dad suddenly appears and orders me to use the loo once before getting into the car. Fair enough, ‘twas gonna be a long drive to the Eumundi Markets!

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 293

Good afternoon! Firstly, my final, final plodding total for Tuesday’s actually 2061 (ha, I’m just over two grand XD); secondly,  today I’ve been hard @ work plodding 1559 steps (ha, I’m just over 1,5 grand XD) and thirdly, TWFT topic’s ‘How It All Ends’. Anyways, let’s start off with yesterday’s events first!

• Thanks to PIG mum who let Carol inside when she announced her arrival @ 4pm, thus saving me from a potentially dangerous trip to the front door.
• At 4:40pm, I went and took my quickest possible shower – I washed and rinsed my own hair today. Because I was showering my quickest, I only had time to slowly, softly but most hatefully sing my shorter second-favourite song out aloud five times.
• At 7:11pm, I’ve finished one game of Bejeweled lasting 5:45. Now, lemme play one more lasting in between six and seven minutes, and I promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• I had one tinkle before I flipped the nice warm water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Carol rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was doing Elf’s AFO straps and one final tinkle when she was giving Wally back to Ela.
• Back outside, arvo tea was another slice of that taro birthday cake PIG mum had made for dearest dad; thanks also to Carol who lemme drink one white tea with two sugars.
• Now @ 7:33pm I’ve finished another game of Bejeweled lasting 6:02. That’s today’s quotas satisfied, and I now promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD Actually, I further promise not to play again until toms, coz for my first game I already lasted 7:30!
• Shortly after 5:30pm, PIG mum came downstairs and sent us packing. Yay for peak-hour traffic, I got to listen to nearly fifteen minutes’ worth of Seven’s news simulcast on 96.5FM! XD
• The moment I arrived, Ying was like, Em, can you do Timekeeper tonight? After I replied yes and picked a spot to settle down, I checked the agenda and saw that I was already down for Timekeeper! When I asked Ying how come she asked me when I was already down for it, she replied, “I knew you wouldn’t say no.” XD
• Jack gave a speech; did you know, he’s going for his black belt in like jiujitsu soon! Also, he wasn’t born till 1996! We chatted over the break, see~
• Table topics after the break was interesting! We had to pretend we had to introduce things from our era to people from like the 15^th century! I did one for Sparkless2, saying that if you had someone who had trouble walking, you’d throw them over a cow and get the cow to carry them, but in the future there’s these really cool inventions called wheelchairs! Evaluator Elsa said I was a good storyteller~

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 281c

Good afternoon and probably one final greeting for Tuesday! Em’s probable final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 1465. Never fear, I’m pretty sure I’ll have passed 1.5 grand before the night’s out. XD Righteo, probable final, finalevents for Tuesday?

• Now @ 3:30pm I’ve finished one more game of Bejeweled lasting 6:35. That’s today’s quotas satisfied, and I now promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD Actually, I further promise not to play again until toms, coz I’ve also played one more memorable game lasting 7:24!
• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn’t call until 7:30am, and after one pot :P trip I spend the ten minutes till 7:40am beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• The teddies and I cuddle and snore, me waking around about hourly to use the pot :p again until PIG mum comes and hits me with the eye goo and only the bra strap, before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• Suddenly, she won’t help me put Elf’s AFO on? Never mind, I’m slow, but I manage. Bonus is that when I head over to brush teeth Ela doesn’t haveta hold the toothbrush, score!
• Teeth brushed, 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 created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*

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

After getting myself a spoon, breakfast is two plain 9no honey) Weet-Bix, all my usual drugs :P and one large mug of water. Over breakfast, I also spend ten minutes 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!

• Breakfast finished, I walk myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• After happily watching Nine’s morning news, I walk myself slowly and safely over to the gobbling :P table, always rising above the cruel unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Can’t remember what lunch was. XD Just that I had to eat quickly coz PIG mum was like, “You have physio @ 2pm and we’ve gotta leave @ 1:40pm.”
• After turning the alarm on, I climbed into the Camry and PIG mum tootled me off to the NAB. Of course, she gleefully forced me to buckle my own seatbelt all day, we listened to 97.3FM all day too and today, Era helped Ela stretch for thirty minutes, before Ela opened and closed her palm 200 times, holding each for a count of five. Era also helped rub Ela’s fingers for ten minutes.
• Physio today: 105 single leg pushups for Elf, eight laps walking along hallway, seated and standing reaching for Ela. Bonus was Kat just sitting inside the NAB munching a plastic cup of chips; when I mimed chewing, she handed me two! I then sat contentedly and waited for Sonia when she suddenly passed me the little paper cup (there were two left inside) and said, “Here. You finish them.”
• Got stuck in dreadful traffic along Coronation Drive coming home; the flashing billboard reported there were emergency works happening somewhere? Saw some traffic cones and some RACQ-type cars with flashing orange lights, but not any traffic incident.
• Lucky PIG mum got off having to turn the alarm off coz dad was home! But thanks to her who let Carol inside, thus saving me from a potentially dangerous trip to the front door.
• Carol’s taking me to Toastmasters tonight, so fingers crossed PIG mum’ll lemme buy some dinner home from Maccas; never mind that Happy Meals were what I had surely MORE THAN TWO DECADES ago!! *sigh*
• Toms: cripes, PIG mum’s already cancelled the support hours for toms coz dad’s taking us somewhere! >< I mean, going out with dad will be cool, but not having any help re. showering and getting dressed not so. ><
• Best of all, though: toms night’s ice cream night! Like I say every week, a very little’s better than none! Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!

Cheers,

Em. ^^

XD Firstly, today I’ve been hard @ work plodding only 461 steps (obviously, I’ve not left the house yet) and secondly, TWFT topic’s ‘How Well Do You Listen?’ but thirdly and way most importantly, I’m still owed ONE HOUR and TWELVE MINUTES online after I get home from physio this arvo!! Anyways, events for today?

• For my first game of Bejeweled ending @ 11:16am, I lasted 5:28. Now, lemme play one more game lasting in between six and seven minutes, and I promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD

Monday Post 281e

Good evening! Firstly, Em’s new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 1506 (ha, I’m just over 1.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni’s devotional topic’s ‘Your Greatest Temptation’. Anyways, continuing tonight’s events?

• When dinner was called, I walked myself slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle before joining the parents and Aunty A @ the gobbling :P table, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• Dad’s birthday dinner was slightly disappointing for me: firstly I’m not a fan of ong choi, secondly, I only got one lil slice of charsiu, one lil chunk of BBQ pork and two bits of duck! Dad thought he was being generous and added lotsa soup potato, tomato and carrot.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowlful of soup, after which 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.
• Anyways, hopefully bbl shortly after 9pm following one last loo trip with my final, final plodding total for Monday, the final, final events for tonight plus what’s happening toms, else hope everyone has a smashing Tuesday ahead!

Cheers,

Em. ^^

P.S. Tee hee, I've already managed FIVE posts tonight! That doesn't usually happen Mondays! XD

Monday Post 281d

Potentially one final greeting for Monday! Em’s potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 1388. anyways, potential final, final events for Monday?

• Suddenly dearest dad gets home and orders me to the loo – he’s taking us out!
• Turns out he’d planned to take PIG mum to the Good Guys @ where Dr. Lin works;they need to buy a new television to replace the one PIG mum killed, see. Well, possibly she didn’t kill it, but in Australian culture, if you’re the last one to use sth before it dies, you killed it, see? Dad was out attending some meeting and I was online; PIG mum was watching the tennis but went upstairs to shower, but when she came back downstairs, the television had perished! Therefore she killed it. XD
• Originally I’d opened the window a crack, intending to stay inside the car while dearest dad went television hunting because dad had parked the car somewhere shady, but for some reason, dad ordered me inside? I didn’t protest coz he lemme hold his hand; I’m therefore certain Erf passed Elf with every step.
• Inside, I was hoping to find a seat with a backrest but there were none! Instead, dad came up with an ingenious plan: he just stacked up some rectangular electronic device against another and lemme sit on that. Perfect, I sat and patiently waited while the parents checked out new TVs.
• After they’d picked one, dad went with the salesguy to settle the purchase while PIG mum dragged me over to check out the new television.
• That done, dad tootled us back to Market Square. Just inside Malaya Corner, more parking space has been opened up while the renovations are going on! He left PIG mum and I inside the car while he went to buy groceries for tonight’s dinner.
• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle before walking myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• I’d just turned the computer back on when PIG mum summoned me over to shower!
• So a nice warm shower for me – I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
• I had one tinkle before I flipped the nice warm water off, dried and rekitted myself. PIG mum helped with nothing bar drying my back and doing Elf’s AFO straps.
• I used the loo for one more tinkle, dried inside both ears, washed and dried Era then 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.
• Aunty A’s over for dearest dad’s birthday dinner and the Slams will come over for supper later!
• Toms: UQ physio resumes. Wonder if I’ll see Sonia/Ethan?
• Fingers crossed I can get half a lunch from somewhere yummy!
• Has Aunty Ann come back from the cruise yet? If so, looking forward to seeing her for a comfy massage~
• Carol’s coming to mind me from 4pm. If small group’s restarted, I’ll attend that; if there’s Toastmasters toms night, I’ll attend that.
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Monday Post 281c

Heylo again and good afternoon! Em’s new plodding total for Monday now stands @ only 513 coz I’ve not left the house yet but hopefully will later! Righteo, continuing today’s events?

• At 1:07pm, I’ve finished one game of Bejeweled lasting 5:07. Now, lemme play another lasting in between six and seven minutes, and I promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• The teddies and I cuddle and snore, me waking for another pot :P trip shortly before PIG mum begins her a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon afterwards, she’s let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with just the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum comes back to 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). Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for justone tinkle, coming out to the gobbling :P table when I realize I feel like doing a stinky unspeakable.
• Breakfast is two plain (no honey) Weet-Bix, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I also spend ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*

Breakfast finished, I walk myself slowly and safely to the loo, 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 fully leaning against the side rail and minutes 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 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 11;30am, I happily watch Nine’s morning news. Once that’s over, I tootle online for myself about thirty minutes before PIG mum summons me over for lunch.
• Last night, I signed dearest dad up for Mosburger; you get a free burger for your birthday! Dad got his burger, but coz he ate his free noodles from Hakataya for his birthday today, he left that burger for PIG mum and I to share for our lunch! Half a burger each; but my inferior tastebuds thought I was munching a very tasty pork rice burger! XD
• Now @ 2:26pm, I’ve played another game of Bejeweled lasting 6:26. That’s today’s quotas satisfied, and I now promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD Actually, I further promise not to play again until toms, coz I’ve actually played two more memorable games, one lasting 7:42 and the other, 8:51!
• Lunch was washed down with one cup of strong green tea (from Aunty Ann0 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.
• PIG mum’s busy making a birthday cake for dearest dad, who’s gone out doing … sth? Fingers crossed he’ll come home and take us out soon, else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
• Toms: think I resume NAB physio for the year. *sigh*
• Fingers crossed PIG mum’ll take me for half a lunch somewhere afterwards!
• Hoping to see Aunty Ann for a comfy massage … PIG mum gleefully forcing me on blasted sitting has left me with a sore back … *sigh*
• Carol’s minding me from 4pm … not sure if there’s Toastmasters toms night/has small group resumed yet?
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Monday Post 281b

Heylo again and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I get the chance to post before midday. XD Firstly, today I’ve only been hard @ work plodding 369 steps (coz obviously, I’ve not left the house yet) and secondly, TWFT topic’s ‘Grace Produces Godliness’ but thirdly and way most importantly, I’m still owed FIFTY-TWO MINUTES online this arvo!! Anyways, events for today?

• Aww, I was only one more night sleep short of recording another week’s worth of awesome sleeps! However, I chose not to be pissed with PIG mum for waking me during sleep last night (well, this morning @ 1:30am) because she was baking a birthday cake for dearest dad!
• Nature called again around 6:20am, and after one pot :P trip I spent the ten minutes till 6:30am beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• That finished and knowing dearest dad would be having breakfast around this time, I try calling out, “Dad? Can you come here, please?’ Sure enough, dad comes into my bedroom and sits down on my bed where I’ve cleared a space for him. Then I give him a huge hug, wish him happy birthday and hand him Daddy Bear, mock-grousing, “Only coz it’s your birthday, you know!” Dad immediately understands! Eagerly reaching out for Daddy Bear, he turns him into what he likes calling ‘bear ball’, where he tucks all Daddy Bear’s appendages up. XD I also tell him that PIG mum and I have a card and present ready for him, but he’ll get them later today.
• Once dad goes back outside to finish his breakfast, Daddy Bear and I cuddle and snore, me waking to kiss him bye and use the pot :P once more when he leaves for like Uncle Peter’s place.

Cheers,

Em. ^^

P.S. Nine's morning news was read aloud by Sophie Walsh. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching Nine's morning news: Leembruggen, Banks, Kearsley (heard), Djokovic, Nadal, Sheldon, Zali 9first name), Steggle, Scullion (heard), Croucher, Bale (heard), Stoinis, Visolo (heard) and Preg. Sam Squires read the sport. Weather forecast for Brisbane: 23-32 toms.

Good morning! :P

Sunday Post 281d

Good evening and probably one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, I’m just gonna take last Sunday’s plodding total and log that in as my final, final plodding total for Sunday (on account that Wally reset himself while I was @ the Lifeline Bookfest with Julz; 2234); secondly, Joni’s devotional topic’s ‘A Witness In Heaven’ and thirdly, the probable final, final spam count for the weekend’s just three. Righteo, probable final, final events for tonight?

• After communion and service ending, I was waiting for PIG mum to come pick me up when suddenly Julz appeared and said she’d take me to the Lifeline Bookfest!!!!! :D ;D :D
• We met @ Maccas for a cheap lunch, then she followed us back to my place to stuff Sparkless2 into her boot. I quickly used the loo once.
• At the Convention Centre, Julz got out Sparkless2 for me and we went to find the books! Eight from the $2.50 section for me; I was hoping for one fantasy/sci fi, one memoir and six hardcover – and that’s exactly what I got! :D
• Julz bought CDs for Josh and some kinda wing chun DVD for herself.
• Back home, we took selfies before she left with my hugest thanks and byes.
• Immediately, awful PIG mum made the afternoon difficult for me, firstly gleefully forcing poor Ela to feed me a pear then gleefully forcing me to sit with ‘good’ posture for like thirty minutes, i.e. not allowing me to lean against the backrest. *sigh* Luckily, that finished before dearest dad got home, meaning she couldn’t show off to him the power she has over me.
• Took a shower – obviously, I washed and rinsed my own hair today, dried and rekitted myself. PIG mum helped only with my bra strap, Elf’s AFO and both laces. Oh, I sang 25% of my shorter second-favourite song softly, slowly but most hatefully out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
• Tonight dad took us to dinner @ Ho Lin Wah; he wanted to ask the restaurant had anyone handed my parking permit in, but just when I was opening the door to enter, PIG mum received a text from Kim: she’d found it in her car; phew! Kim says she’ll bring it back toms~
• Two meals between three people means I got less than one bowl of rice for dinner. *sigh* lol, I didn’t even like one of the set meals! But I drank one mouthful of Horlicks, one mouthful of HK-style hot milk tea and one cup of free hot Chinese tea.
• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely online, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: dearest dad’s birthday!!! :D Not only that, coz it’s the makeup public holiday for Australia Day, I (1) don’t haveta see Vincent the bloody physio for a torture session and (2) don’t haveta endure hydro!! :D
• Unfortunately, that also means Tina mightn’t come mind me, but since she’s so scatter-brained, I hope she will! XD
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!

Cheers,

Em. ^^

P.S. Don't ask me how the bullet points have become right-aligned, not left. XD

Sunday Post 281c

Argh, I had so much fun with Julz @ the Lifeline Bookfest idiot Wally reset himself! >< Nah, prolly stupid ela got squashed under all the books I shortlisted one of the buttons on Wally got nudged. XD

• At ESS, I sang everything, plus the harmony for all four songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Peter Pie spoke today; it’s his last week @ BCAC – fingers crossed I can bbl, coz I’m still owed FIFTY-TWO MINUTES online!!!

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Sunday Post 281b

Heylo again and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I get to post online before midday. XD Firstly, today I’ve only been hard @ work plodding 322 steps (obviously, I’ve not left the house yet); secondly, TWFT topic’s ‘Be Decisive’ and thirdly, the spam count for the weekend’s just two but fourthly and way most importantly, I’m still owed ONE HOUR and FIVE MINUTES online after I get home from church this arvo!! Anyways, events for today?

• For my first game of Bejeweled ending @ 9:50am, I lasted 5:07. Now, lemme finish one more lasting in between six and seven minutes, and I promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• Now @ 10:09am I’ve finished one more game of Bejeweled lasting 6:02. That’s today’s quotas satisfied, and I now promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• Yay, 6^th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature did try calling once partway through the night and again when the sky had lightened but the sun hadn’t fully risen so I could see the time on the clock mounted onto the wall but both times I persuaded my idiot bladder please to lemme fall asleep meaning I didn’t haveta use the pot :P until 6am!
• Nature calls hourly until Kim announces her arrival ten minutes early. I give myself fifteen more minutes, then we get me kitted (I do the tee, pants Elf’s sock and shoe, she does my bra strap, tee, Erf’s sock, Elf’s AFO and both laces) before I head over to brush teeth (Ela enjoys an extra break~)

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Saturday Post 281c

Good evening again and one final greeting for Sunday! Em’s final, final plodding total for tonight now stands @ 2127. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• I’m unsuccessful in reaching Aunty Lai, but I find uncle Fung and I chat with him, Aunty Nga and Mickey for sixteen minutes until the phone suddenly cuts our connection!
• Instead, I head into the bathroom for my nice hot shower – I wash and rinse my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sing 21% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
• I have one tinkle before I flip the nice warm water off, get dried, get creamed and have another tinkle. When Besta rekits me, I have one more tinkle when she’s doing Elf’s AFO straps and one last when she’s giving Wally back to Ela.
• Back outside, Besta feeds me one big bowl of fried rice for lunch and my final (third) mug of white tea with two sugars. Since she’s playing with her smartphone over lunch, I continue reading.
• Before she leaves, I use the loo for two more tinkles. I’ve just sat down and booted up the computer when PIG mum orders me up, saying dad’s taking us out. I’m super-excited, thinking he’s FINALLY taking me to the Lifeline Bookfest but no, dad takes us to Harbour Town instead! I’m like WTF, I wanna buy books, not shoes! >< Even worse, idiot me forgets about my disability parking sticker until dad’s just entered the highway. >< *sigh*
• At Harbour Town, dad finds me a seat with a backrest. I sit and happily continue reading, because it’s only Saturdays I get to read for three hours; actually, I probably read for like 3.25 hours today, coz the parents were wandering the shops! :D
• For arvo tea, dad visits donut King; he feeds me two tiny nips of donut.
• The parents continue shopping; I continue reading. Before I leave, I even buy a tee from JayJays!
• Dad tootles us home, I use the loo for one tinkle 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.
• When the parents call dinner, I walk myself slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle before joining them @ the gobbling :P table, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Dinner tonight; rice tonight, lotsa not-very-yummy bean sprouts, lotsa dearest dad’s home-grown melon and several strips of yummy BBQ chicken.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowlful of soup after which 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. I got off having to take my bowl over to the sink coz both parents were too absorbed watching Osaka play Kvitova in the Australian Open women’s finals! XD
• At 9pm, I walk myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• CONGRATS to Naomi Osaka, Australian Open grand final winner! She’s only twenty-one!!!
• Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. Kim’s coming to help me up @ 8:30am then dropping me off @ church for ESS. Her shift ends @ 11am, but since she insists we leave for church @ 10:30am and she leaves the moment I’m safely seated and only uses paper sign-off sheets; guess she’ll get more pay than what she’s worked for.
• Doubt the parents will lemme out for lunch with other ESS peers; dad had better take us out for an early dinner toms coz PIG mum says the men’s gramnd final match begins @ 6:30pm!
• Righteo, hoping to see everyone @ church toms!

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Saturday Post 281b

Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em’s new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2070 9see? Told you I’d pass two grand! XD) and secondly, Joni’s devotional topic’s ‘You Are Never Overlooked’ but thirdly and way most importantly, I’m still owed TWENTY MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, continuing tonight’s events?

·        After that, the teddies and I cuddle and snore, me waking hourly for the pot :P until PIG mum comes and hits me with the eye goo before heading off for her morning’s work. Once dearest dad’s retucked the teddies and I back into bed and promised to stay quiet so we can sleep in peace, we cuddle and snore, me waking hourly for the pot :P until the phone rings @ 9:50am. Turns out it’s Besta, telling dad that she’s running late but that she’s coming.

·        From 9:50am till 10am I spend ten minutes 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!

·        Then @ 10am I start counting down my fifteen more minutes. Besta arrives when I have 2.5 minutes left and still offers me fifteen more minutes; I’m like, “Just 2.5, please. I’ll call you when I’m up.”

·        After counting down that last 2.5 minutes, I call out to Besta but presumably she’s in the kitchen preparing breakfast coz she oesn’t hear me. I use the pot :P for one more tinkle and call again. This time she hears, enters my room and gets me kitted; I excitedly her that I had another dream this morning: I was playing some numbers game with my fingers!

·        So Besta gets me kitted and we head over to the bathroom, where I brush teeth. Thanks to Besta who squirts me out some toothpaste; Ela enjoys her weekly break~

·        Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast.

·        Eh? Not sure why dad didn’t cook any breakfast? Never mind, I started reading while Besta quickly whipped up one fried ham, egg and cheese sandwich for me, along with one mug of tea.

·        Happiness is then reading for 1.25 hours, while Besta massages Ela for one hour. I reached pg. 250 @ 11:04am and reached pg. 275 @ 11:43am.i like this book coz there’s lotsa space between each line but the vocab’s pretty tough and there are heaps of words I don’t understand!

·        After Besta has massaged Ela for one hour, I use the loo for one more tinkle and she makes me another mug of white tea with two sugars.

Cheers,

Em. ^^
