Monday Post 290b

Heylo again and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I get the chance to post online before midday. XD Firstly, today I've only been hard @ work plodding 626 steps (obviously, I've not left the house yet) and secondly, TWFT topic's "He's Working Out All Things For Your Good" but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-TWO MINUTES online after I watch Seven's morning news!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 7th consecutive awesome sleep last night; that's the 7th time this year already where I've managed one straight week of consecutive awesome sleeps! :D Nature didn't call until 6:40am, and after one pot :P trip I spent the ten minutes till 6:50am 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 for one more hour, me waking to use the pot :P when considerate dad walks silently along the hallway and unpops the latch leading into the garage door.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Seven's morning news was read out by Ann Sanders. All the interesting surnames I saw: Curnow, Leeming (heard), Dalton, Cardozo, Corboy, Skip (first name), Holbrook, Zelenskiy, Dew, Finch, Kohli (heard), Sharouf and Dolling (heard). Bill Evans read the finance report (71.08USc = $1AUD), Matt Carmichael read the sports report and David Brown read the weather forecast. Brisbane toms: 18-27, showers.

Sunday Post 290c

Good evening again and probably one final greeting for tonight! firstly, Em's probable final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands 2 3314 and secondly, the probable final, final spam count for the weekend's now eighteen. Righteo, probable final, final events for tonight?

• Another hour of cuddling and snoring for the teddies and I, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before PIG mum starts her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me very slightly with not only the bra strap - because dearest dad hasn't left for church yet - and a nice blouse - coz today was our combined 10th year anniversary church service; someone in our small group chat had reminded everyone to wear sth nice because that photo would be used for the next ten years! 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 straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth (poor Ela). 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 out to the gobbling :P table, 
  rising above His near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• I had breakfast with the beautiful birthday cup Besta bought me yesterday! 
  I spent another 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!
• Before leaving for church, I do a stinky unspeakable.
• 9;30pm now, so keeping things brief~
• Great ten year anniversary church service, especially because PIG mum lemme stay seated for worship! Only I didn't really understand Rev. Lam's message coz I can't understand enough Mandarin Chinese to save my life! XD
• We all headed outside and Uncle Norm climbed up this big ladder and took a group shot for everyone! I was okay coz I'd headed out first with PIG mum and found myself some pole to rest my right hip on~
• Had a cheap meal with the parents for lunch 2 the Warrigal Square Maccas~
• Went to the Warrigal Square Woolies and bought groceries with PIG mum.
• Came home and tootled briefly online before I let PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk outside and let her gleefully force mostly poor Ela to take down the day's washing; argh, I HATES standing practice! ><
• Continued the HEP with Ela feeding me pear for arvo tea; also did the OT exercises Alyssa left me.
• Did the fifty sit-to-stands before taking a nice, very warm shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% ofmy shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
• Had dinner out with the parents tonight @ the Sunnybank Sports and Community Club.
• Toms: Alyssa's giving Ela a session of OT around 10am.
• Fingers crossed I can watch Seven's morning news!
• Also fingers crossed I can get outta hydro toms; I'm still wearing a pad and have a lil period left! When Tina minds me from like 12:30pm till 1:30pm we can go aisle walking @ Woolies, Warrigal Square!
• Fingers crossed I can read Clinton's memoirs for one hour then watch the whole of Seven's 6pm bulletin!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week aheadf!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 290b

heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2707 and secondly, the potential final, final spam count for the weekend's now thirteen. Righteo, potential final, final events for Sunday?

• Oh, Joni's devotional topic's 'Little Acts of faithfulness'.
• Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:20am, and after one pot :P trip I spent the ten minutes till 6:30am 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 cuddled and snored, me waking to use the pot :P when dearest dad came and kissed me goodbye before leaving for church. Service didn't start till 10am, but I'm presuming he had sth else on.
• Another hour of cuddling and snoring for the teddies and I, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before PIG mum starts her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me very slightly - fingers crossed I can bbl, coz I'm still owed TWENTY-SIX MINUTES online!!

Saturday Post 290c

Good evening and probably one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 1846 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'With Singing And Praise'. Righteo, probable final, final events for tonight?

• When mother arrived home fairly late ('twas already like 3:50pm), I politely asked her would she please wait ten more minutes and let Kim inside before heading upstairs but she was super-bitchy and refused, muttering against me stuff like I was already being waited on hand and foot. I mean, what the?? If I really was waited on hand and foot, @ the very least I'd have used my manual wheelchair to the engagement party this morning!! >< Grr.. *sigh*
• When Kim announced her arrival precisely @ 4pm, I walked myself slowly and safely to the front door and let her in, again rising above His near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.  
• So a nice very warm shower for me today - I washed and rinsed my own hair. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 22% 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 very water off, mostly dried myself (thanks to Kim who kindly helped me dry my back, both legs and Era), mostly creamed myself (again, thanks to Kim who kindly helped me cream my back, both calves and Era) then mostly rekitted myself (thanks to Kim who kindly helped with Erf's sock, Elf's AFO and both laces). Then I used the loo for one more tinkle, dried inside both ears, washed and dried Era and walked myself slowly and safely back out to the gobbling :P table, always rising above His near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.  
• For arvo tea Ela did the cup practice with Kim and Era forked out pear. Thanks to Kim who kindly made me some honey lemon water instead of green tea, coz while I was attending the engagement party today, my idiot nose went berserk and I didn't stop sneezing and blowing nose till after Kim left! >< Today she very gently and very sporadically massaged Ela for about fifty minutes after cleaning the bathroom while watching YouTube clips.
• Before she left @ 6pm, I did a stinky unspeakable. She's not back till next Wednesday; wonder who's coming Tuesday then, now that Carol has gone?
• After 9:15pm now, so just keeping things brief:
• PIG mum eventually tumbled downstairs and I let her gleefully force me on parts two and three of my HEP before we had dinner: rice, lotsa lettuce, lotsa soup carrot, some silver perch and a few wee slices of tasty chicken. Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup.
• T oms: just church, definitely nothing special. Oh, the special thing can be that it's our special TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY SERVICE! Hard to believe that we've been @ BCAC for one whole DECADE!
• Would love to take part in the dinner banquet being held toms night to celebrate that; Dr. lee's going but the parents aren't interested. Instead, I'll prolyl haveta have a cheap lunch @ Maccas with the parents then endure a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum in the arvo before hopefully eating dinner out with the parents, where you can guess I'll get to eat piss little. *sigh*
• So it's not looking like a very nice Sunday for me... can't be helped; hope to see everyone @ church toms!
  
  Cheers,
  
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 290b

Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 1190. Ha, I'm over 1000. XD Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• Besta actually arrived a few minutes late today, and even had the audacity to ask me, "Get up now?" instant Bear Bum for her! She laughed, corrected "I mean, fifteen more minutes," and withdrew. XD
• Just over fifteen minutes later, Besta came back and helped me get kitted for today, saying she'd help me get changed just before Joey came to pick me up. That done, we headed over to the bathroom and I brushed teeth; Ela enjoyed her other break this week.
• After using the loo for one more tinkle, I headed out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast. Strange, wonder why dad only cooked scrambled eggs for breakfast; were we outta ham? Still, thanks to Besta who cooked the bread yummy, added cheese and made me one mug of white tea with two sugars.
• I happily read Clinton's memoirs for like one hour, Besta even made me another mug of white tea with two sugars~ Not only that, she got me a belated birthday present! This really wrapped encased in a soft cardbox handbag with a caramel and sth muffin! She lemme have it rightaway for morning tea, too~
• Before Joey came to pick me up, I used the loo for two/three more tinkles and Besta helped me changed into smarter casual clothes, more appropriate for the event I was attending! 
• Alas, after Besta had turned the alarm on, she closed the door then forgot, reopened the door and went back inside! I shot up, told Joey "Stay behind me, please!' then staggered quickly to the alarm and turned the warning tone off, probably like five seconds before the alarm EXPLODED throughout our neighbourhood. XD Just pity, because usually Saturday's the ONLY day during the week when I don't haveta turn the alarm on... *sigh*
• Joey tootled me off to Ray's and Mel's new place for their engagement party! She parked several streets away and then walked behind me to their house. Thanks to Jase who came with and carried my picnic chair for me.
• I sat down just inside the garage @ the table set up, on the most left. When Mel approached, I immediately passed her the card I'd written for her and Leo, adding my congratulations! In return, she went and poured me a cup of cordial. Leo came over and passed me two slices of pizza.
• Over the party, I moved positions once, when more people arrived and Mel relocated me to the other side of the table. Today I chatted mostly with Nat and Alex.
• When Joey decided she wanted to leave, I headed back out. Only when I reached the end of the ground cover, 'twas raining! "Uh..." I started, unsure how I was gonna tell Joey I didn't really feel safe with her walking behind me through the rain. Luckily, Joey was of the same mind, coz she asked Mel to stay with me while she went to get the car. Mel offered me a seat, but I declined, coz 'twas just a high stool without a backrest; instead, I braced my right hip against the locked side fence and waited.
• When Joey returned, I climbed into her car and she tootled me home, telling me she's going to play baddy this arvo! Not only that, she's attending the banquet dinner celebrating ten years @ BCAC toms, the lucky thing!
• Dad arrived home shortly after we did. I said my thanks and byes to Joey, used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above His near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.  
• When mother arrived home fairly late ('twas already like 3:50pm), I politely asked her would she please wait ten more minutes and let Kim inside before heading upstairs - bbl!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 290

Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding only 950 steps (but hopefully I'll have cracked one grand before the day's out) and secondly, TWFT topic's "Don't Yield To Fear' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm still owed FIFTEEN MINUTES online after Kim minds me for two hours!! Anyways, events for today?

• For my first game of Bejeweled ending @ 2;36pm, I lasted 5;16. Now, lemme play one more lasting in between six and seven minutes, and I promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• Now @ 2:52pm I've finished one more game of Bejeweled lasting 6:20. That's today's quotas satisfied, and I now promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• Yay, 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:20am, and after one pot :P trip I immediately try and fall back asleep again, coz PIG mum begins her a-THUMPING around @ 7:20am!
• Sure enough, that's exactly what happens! I wake and use the pot :P once more when that happens then spend the ten minutes until 7:30am 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*
• once PIG mum hits me with the eye goo and leaves for her half day's work, I 
  spend another 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*
• After dearest dad retucks the teddies and I back into bed and promises to stay quiet so we can cuddle and snore in peace, we do just exactly that, with me not waking again for the pot :P until like 9:30! No point falling back asleep afterwards; I spent another 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!

Friday Post 268f

One final good evening and greeting for Friday! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 3312 and secondly, the final, final spam count for the weekend's now seventeen. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• Afterwards, PIG mum tootles us over to Sunnybank Hills. I complete my six minute hike @ Coles, we buy milk then have lunch @ food court. Can't remember what we ate. XD But PIG mum bought us a pearl milk tea from Chatime, even though she spoiled the drink my only choosing 30% sugar.
• Next she tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. When Ray greets me, thanks to PIG mum who lets me greet him back first. I then burble excitedly to him that I can hear now. XD
• After using the loo for one tinkle, I lie down and get some acupuncture and massage. PIG mum's in her element, yapping unceasingly @ Ray; my grateful thanks to him for always replying and keeping a conversation going.
• Actually, one of his needles drew blood when Ray was removing it! I give a mock-dramatic gasp and Ray laughs. "Don't worry, I've got ice cream for you!" After I use the loo for one more tinkle he passes me the delicious choc-coated cookies and cream ice cream bar; I thank him and laugh that if he doesn't wanna keep giving me ice cream, stop drawing blood! XD
• PIG mum tootles us home and I walk myself slowly and safely online, again rising above His near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.  
• Thanks to PIG mum who lets Kim inside when she announces her arrival precisely @ 4pm, thus saving me from a potentially dangerous trip to the front door myself.
• So a nice very warm shower for me today - I wash and rinse my own hair. Like yesterday, 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 very warm water off, mostly dry myself (thanks to Kim who kindly helps me dry my back, both legs and Era), mostly cream myself (again, thanks to Kim who kindly helps me cream my back, both calves and Era) then mostly rekit myself (thanks to Kim who kindly helps me with Erf's sock, Elf's AFO and both laces).  Then I use the loo for one tinkle, dry inside both ears, wash and dry Era and walk myself slowly and safely back out to the gobbling :P table, always 
  rising above His near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• I eat pear with Ela for arvo tea; thanks also to Kim who lets me drink one mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of sugar. Happiness is reading Clinton's memoirs for one hour and getting to watch almst the entire sports report; today I reached pg. 600 @ 5:35pm.
• Only ten minutes left, so just briefly:
• After Kim left, I did the fifty sit-to-stands with PIG mum.
• Dinner tonight; rice, lotsa yummy cauliflower, lotsa some other vegetable I've since forgotten, one/two/three slices of yummy black fungi and two/three wee chunks of delicious chicken.
•  Toms: Besta's coming to mind me 8:00/8:30am till 10:30am, coz Joey's coming to take me to Mel and Leo's engagement party!
• Then kim's minding me from 4pm till 6pm.
• Righteo, hope everuyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Tee hee, tonight I've managed SIX posts; that's even rarer than five! XD

Friday Post 268e

Good evening again! Em's new plodding total for today now stands @ 3233. Anyways, continuing today's events?

• PIG mum comes back to help with Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth (poor Ela). Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, coming out to the gobbling :P table when I realise 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 spent another 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 His 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, I headed back outside and with perfect timing, Ji  Young arrived to gimme a session of rehab therapy!
• Once she left, I used the loo for one more tinkle, turned the alarm on then climbed into the 4WD.
• PIG mum tootled me off to Salisbury medical centre to get my ears unblocked! Of course, she gleefully forced me to buckle my own seatbelt all day, we listened to 97.3FM all day (and since PIG mum has relegated me to the backseat she now wields complete control over the music, meaning she smugly keeps it that soft I can barely hear it) and today, Era helped Ela stretch for forty-five minutes, before Ela opened and closed her palm 250 times, holding each for a count of five. Era also helped rub Ela's fingers for about eight minutes.
• At Salisbury medical centre, PIG mum unloaded me inside then went to repark the car. Then she had me sit just outside the nurse's station while she signed me in because she said sitting there was closest to Dr. Mor's room. Whilst waiting, I read a sign saying that Dr. Mor was retiring like May the 8th/August the 5th!! Then my ears picked a very good time to sprout me some earwax coz I'll prolly never see Dr. Mor again after today!
• I was soon called in. Dr. Mor peered inside my ears; he also told me once he retires he'll spend time looking after his grandkids; he's got like six now, ranging from fourteen to like six months!
• I also got the flu jab! Lemme say, I've heard that doctors are apparently crap @ giving needles but the one he gave me today was seriously the least painful one I've ever experienced; Ela goes phew! Still, I asked him for a lolly afterwards because needles hurt and Dr. Mor replies sure, ask the nurse after she cleans your ears.
• PIG mum and I head into the treatment room and I sit on some chair that's so high my feet don't reach the floor; thanks to PIG mum who brings over a stool for me to place both feet on.
• Jiang wields the ear gun/syringe on me! I'm very impressed: last time I went the machine was still manual but now it's become like electronic! PIG mum laughs and replies no, now it's operated by foot pedal, not hand pump. 
• I CAN HEAR AGAIN! :D Afterwards, Dr. Mor peers into both ears, checking to see that all the wax has been cleared away. I check with him is it okay that the inside of my left ear feels very tender and Dr. Mor replies it's all good~
• I also meet another of PIG mum's workmates,  Taylor! She's a recent graduate and only twenty-three! When I asked her to guess my age, she laughs and immediately retorts, "Sixty-seven." I hunch and feign old age, then tell her, thirty-two. She's like, "No way! My next guess would've been twenty-four!" I laugh and tell her Asians look younger." XD
  
  Cheers,
  
  Em. ^^
  
  P.S. Tee hee, tonight I've already managed FIVE posts, but Wednesday was two days ago! XD
  
  

Friday Post 268d

good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 2856 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'A positive, Faith-Filled Outlook'. Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• For my first game of Bejeweled ending 2 6:12pm, I lasted 6:12. Now, lemme finish one more game of Bejeweled lasting between five and six minutes, and I promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until the noisy garbage truck screeched it's brakes coming down Alan Cres. and after one pot :P trip, I spent the ten minutes till 6:15am 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*
• Now @ 7;13pm I've finished one more game of Bejeweled lasting 5:19. 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 7:03pm and the other 7:39!
• The teddies and I cuddle and have an incredible snore, coz I don't wake again for the pot :P until dearest dad walks silently down the hallway and unpops the latch to the garage! After he's retucked the teddies and I back into bed and left for his hard day's work, we happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more to use the pot :P shortly before PIG mum begins her a-THUMPING around upstairs. Shortly afterwards, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with only the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• 
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

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*

Thursday Post 268c

Good evening and definitely one final greeting for Thursday! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2102. Err... not sure how this total's LESS than my previous one?? Dunno, it's past 9pm and I'm too sleepy to figure things out! XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• Lol, I'm too disappointed to note down tonight's events. Tipped to win tonight, the Broncos lost by ONE MEASELY POINT! ><  At least I can blame the loss on Uncle Colbert, who was too wimpy to watch the game live and show his support. XD
• Then I quickly did the fifty sit-to-stands for PIG mum; will remember to do the weight shifting one after I brush teeth and floss. 
• Suppose I'd better go do the Lumosity brain games for PIG mum now … or should I continue study?
• Toms: hopefully the noisy garbage truck won't come THUNDERING down before sunrise; also hopefully PIG mum'll lemme watch Seven's morning news and hopefully Kim will lemme drink one mug of white tea with one spoonful of honey! She's minding me toms 4pm till 6pm after I see Ray for some massage and acupuncture; bet PIG mum can't wait to yap ceaselessly @ him. XD
• Planning to watch Friday night football toms night; think the Eels are playing but can't remember against who. XD
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms!
  
  Cheers,
  
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 268b

Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for Thursday! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2372. Righteo, potential final, final events for Thursday?

• The teddies and I cuddle and snore for another hour, me waking to use the pot :P once more when dearest dad thoughtfully walks silently down the hallway and unpops the lock opening into the garage.
• Today Kim announces her arrival about three minutes early. She stands @ the door and calls "Good morning Em; fifteen more minutes" but comes back too early! When she pats the covers signifying 'get up', I mutter @ her "Half a minute more" but she's like "huh?" Daddy Bear enters the conversation, simplifying it for Kim, "Thirty more seconds!" Luckily for Kim, she doesn't argue and goes instead to empty the pot :P, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
• When Kim comes back, we get me kitted, then I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Ela enjoys her first break this morning~
• 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*
• Now @ 5;15pm, I've finished one more game of Bejeweled lasting 6:57. 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 also played two more memorable games, one lasting 7:49 and the other 7:56!
• After washing and drying Era, I walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, 
  rising above His near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Thanks to Kim who got a spoon for me and turned Sunrise on for my viewing pleasure~ Over breakfast (two plain - no honey - Weetbix), 
  I spent another 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! As for Kim, after she'd made my bed for me, she sat and very gently and very sporadically massaged Ela for about fifteen minutes.
• Come 9am, we set out! At the Garbo library, I used the loo once then entered the room. Only Ken had arrived; he was in the process of setting up the meeting tables. Once they were all in position, I simply skooted over to my preferred spot. XD Phew then Ken didn't mind; in fact, he commended me on my chair driving skills! XD
• Another big meeting today, like, seventeen people! My story provoked lotsa laughs but mostly I'm super-relieved! See, Denise attended today, even though she left early. She showed me her shirt, which was a hydrotherapist physio blouse! I wailed about pee-filled pools and she was like, "Don't you know? Little kids now wear waterproof nappies to catch any pee they might pass." phew; that means now I only haveta fret about chlorine!
• Crystal helped me once to the loo @ breaktime; the disabled bathroom was occupied but luckily the ambulant one was free; I used that instead. Just pity there weren't any bikkies today! Still, a cuppa, white and two, was nice~
• After GCCW; Kim tootled me off to lunch with Pastors Chris and Grace. The Canto-speaking waitress recognised me; once I sat down she immediately bought me over a bowl of creamy corn soup!
• Once Pastors Chris and Grace arrived, we ordered. The waitress who took our orders also remembers me; once I ordered I started my clumsy Chinese saying "I don't want …" She interrupts me, saying, "I know! No cashews, right?!"
• While waiting for our mals to arrive, I asked Pastor Chris to please clarify what he meant about my brain injury being collateral damage. I think he explained that my brain injury wasn't the direct result of anything I did/didn't do that deserved what befell me, but rather because we humans have chosen to turn away from God, people will suffer. Hopefully he means God didn't specifically choose me to smite down.
• Today the Lungs left exactly @ 2:30pm. Ppresumably Kim was just sitting outside waiting for me; once they'd left she came inside and paid for me.
• Back home, I turned off the alarm and did a stinky unspeakable before taking a nice, very warm shower - 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. Actually, I was done after 13%, but sang for another tinkle before ending the shower. XD
• After I flipped the nice very warm water off, I mostly dried myself (thanks to Kim who kindly helped me dry my back, both legs and Era), mostly creamed myself (again, thanks to Kim who kindly helped me cream my back, both calves and Era) then mostly rekitted myself (thanks to Kim who kindly helped with Erf's sock, Elf's AFO and both laces). Then I used the loo for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, washed and dried Era then walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above His near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• I tootled online for awhile. Kim cleaned the bathroom, then sat and very gently and very sporadically massaged Ela for awhile before leaving precisely @ 3:30pm.
• When PIG mum returned home from work, I did the pear eating part of my HEP and the walking part with her then smuggled my mobile into the loo and played Candy Crush until the battery ran flat. XD
• PIG mum left for the Glen Hotel to hear some talk. Dad returned home; I immediately asked could he please microwave me dinner coz the Broncos match starts 2 6:50om but he says he's doing stuff in the garage and don't come till 6:20pm. *sigh*
• Guess I'm doing the fifty sit-to-stands with PIG mum after she comes home.
• Toms: perhaps expect a pissy plodding total from me? Fingers crossed I can watch Seven's morning news, and bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap her head off @ Ray when I see him for some massage and acupuncture mid-arvo. XD
• kim's coming to mind me from 4pm till 6pm, coz she's not coming Saturday.
• Anyways, hopefully bbl after the match tonight, otherwise wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!
  
  Cheers,
  
  Em. ^^
  
  P.S. Joni's devotional topic's 'Be Aware Of His Grace'.

Thursday Post 268

Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1229 steps and secondly, TWFT topic's "Show God's Love (2)" but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY MINUTES online after PIG mum and I have arvo tea together!! Anyways, events for today?

• For my first game of Bejeweled ending 2 3:20pm, I lasted 5:05. Now, lemme finish one more game lasting in between six and seven minutes, and I promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:45am, and after one pot :P trip I spent the ten minutes till 6:55am 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*
  
  Cheers,

Monday post 289g

Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands 2 2912. Righteo, final, final events for Monday?

• Lunch was presumably last night's leftovers and was washed down with one mug of the Chinese tea Aunty Ann had given us.
• lunch finished, I walked myself slowly and safely back online briefly, rising above His near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Time for blasted hydrotherapy, I got into the Camry's backseat and PIG mum tootled us off to Runcorn Pool. Tina met us there and kindly lemme hold her hand to walk in.
• Hydrotherapy itself was awful. Wet, wading through pee-filled chlorine then having to marinate in pee-filled chlorine whilst being driven home to shower coz public bathrooms are really dirty and don't shower there where possible. *sigh* I guess the only plus side was that I didn't haveta turn the alarm on/off today!
• Back home, I took a nice, very warm shower - 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 very warm water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When  Tina rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was doing Elf's AFO straps and one last when she was giving Wally back to Ela.
• Back outside, arvo tea was one lil slice dad had left me from all the birthday cake I'd brought back home from last Wednesday! Huh, seeing that it was MY birthday, you'd think he'd have left me more, huh?? Coz dad ate all the birthday cake PIG mum bought me, too! *sigh*
• I te that then read Clinton's memoirs for one hour - woah, just briefly now, coz it's already 9:30pm!
• Watched Seven's 6pm news, yay~
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa dearest dad's home-grown beans, lotsa dearest dad's home-grown hairy melon and like two lil thin slices of delicious chicken.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup, after that which I rerurned online before using the loo once more @ 9pm.
•  Toms: late morning torture session with Vincent the bloody physio. ><
• Fingers crossed PIG mum'll take me somewhere yummy for lunch~
• looking forward to seeing Aunty Ann for a comfy massage. Bet PIG mum's looking forward to yapping endlessly @ her, too. XD
• Someone new's taking me to Toastmasters; I'm just pissed that dad won't lemme attend our small group social coz I'm missing out on KFC and pizza! *sigh*
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Tee hee, tonight I've managed SEEN posts! That's only happened like seven times before! XD

Monday Post 289f

Good evening! Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2758. Anyways, conyinuing events for today?

• I wake again for the pot :P about one hour later, shortly before PIG mum starts a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me with the crop top (argh, blasted hydrotherapy ><) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum returns to help with Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth (poor Ela). 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 out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast,  rising above His near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.  
• After getting myself a spoon, breakfast is two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix and all my usual drugs. :P Over breakfast, I spent another 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, again  rising above His near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.  
• Thanks to PIG mum who let Alyssa inside when she announced her arrival shortly after 10am, thus saving me from a potentially dangerous trip to the front door.
• So the first session I had was OT. Ela did some impractical exercises, then practised typing and finished with some piano playing.
• Happiness was then getting to watch Seven's morning news~ All the readers, interesting surnames I found and the weather forecast are in some previous post for today/
• News finished, when PIG mum summoned me over for lunch I walked myself slowly and safely online, always  rising above His near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Tee hee, tonight I've already managed SIX posts; that's even rarer than five! XD
  

Monday Post 289e

Potentially one final greeting for Monday! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 1922. Never fear, I'm certain I'll have passed 2000 before the night's out! XD Righteo, potential final, final events for Monday?

• Oh, I've played another game of Bejeweled lasting 5:29. That's today's quotas satisfied, and I now willingly promise to hit the sack tonight. XD
• Afterwards, the teddies and I cuddle and snore, me waking to kiss dearest dad bye and use the pot :P once more
  
  Cheers,
  
  Em. ^^
  
  P.S. Seven's 6pm news was read by Kay McGrath and Max Futcher.

• Nature called again around 6:30am, after which I spent the ten minutes till 6:40am 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*

• Then the Lions won! Everyone started belting out the victory; Anna dug up the lyrics on her smartphone for me so I could join in, too~
• I used the loo once more myself, we met back up with Tim, Larissa and Anna's mates and then we all bid each other good night~
• Before dropping me back home, Anna tootled me off to the Mt Gravatt Maccas and I bought myself a soft serve cone with a flake!
• Cripes, 'twas just after 10pm when we arrived back home! Instant bedtime for me, zz~
• Today (very briefly, coz I've only got ten minutes!):
• Yay, 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7;15am~
• lol, only pastor Chris and I were @ Bible study. We just chatted~
• Stayed seated for worship, sang everything I knew plus the harmony for like three songs but like every other week meant absolute NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Pastor Grace talking about another 'M'; Mission, I think.
• There was communion and I had a cheap lunch @ Maccas with the parents.
• Suffered the usual stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum. ><
• Had dinner @ Sunnybank Oriental tonight. Phew, rice!

Righteo, continuing last night's events?

Sunday Post 289

Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total from Saturday's actually 2137; secondly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1956 steps (and I'm certain I'll have passed two grand before the day's out XD); thirdly, TWFT topic's 'You Are Special' and fourthly, the spam count for the weekend's just eight. Righteo, let's start off with last night's events first!

• At 4:25pm, I used the loo once more for two tinkles, and by 4:30pm was sitting in the garage waiting for Anna to come pick me up!
• When they arrived, dad measured Anna's boot and unfortunately, Sparkless2 wouldn't fit … Solution? Dad offered Anna the drove of our Camry and Anna said sure, coz she learnt how to drive with her father's old Camry! Phew, crisis averted!!
• For my first game of Bejeweled ending @ 3:55pm, I lasted 5:37. Now, lemme finish one more game lasting in between six and seven minutes, and I promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• I thought Anna would drive us to the busway station but no, she drove us straight to the Gabba!
• She found street parking somewhere, got out Sparkless2 for me and we wheeled me to the place she'd chosen for dinner, some little restaurant called Gabi Café. Why I highly approved of the place: they had ten dollar dinner specials with rice; the rice bucket in me was overjoyed. I chose a fried chicken one and slurped a chocolate smoothie, while Anna had some kinda beef burger with chips.
• Anna and I left dinner early coz we had - argh, fingers crossed I can bbl, coz I'm still owed TWENTY-EIGHT MINUTES online!! >< *sigh*
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 289

Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1218 steps (not bad for someone who hasn't left the house yet XD) and secondly, TWFT topic's 'Overcoming Failure'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! like yesterday, nature didn't call until 6:20am, and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep, coz didn't PIG mum start being noisy @ 7:20am?
• Yup, like clockwork, PIG mum starts a-THUMPING around @ 7:20am. That's my wakeup call to use the pot :P again, after which I spend the ten minutes till 7:30am 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*
• After PIG mum hits me with the eye goo, she leaves for her morning's work. While waiting for dearest dad to come and retuck the teddies and I back into bed, I spent another 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*
• At 4;59pm, I've finished one game of Bejeweled lasting 5:44. Now, lemme finish one more game lasting between six and seven minutes, and I promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• Now I've finished one more game of Bejeweled lasting 6:18. 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, because for my first game I already lasted 7:17! But just quickly now, coz Anna'll be here in ten:
• Besta minded me frpm 10am till 2pm. I showered @ 12:30 and did a stinky unspeakable before she left.
• Anna's taking me to watch the AFL tonight!
• Toms: just church, nothing special. Actually, the special thing can be that it's the final bible study for term one! Anyways, hope to see everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 267e

Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 2023 (ha, I'm just over two grand XD) but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-SIX MINUTES online if I've gotta let PIG mum gleefully boot me off to bed @ 9:45pm!! Argh, that's the SECOND CONSECUTIVE NIGHT where I've been able to use the entirety of my MOST IMPORTANT two hours of the day online; what a crummy way to finish my birthday!! >< Righteo, just briefly final, final events for Wednesday?

• First therapy session for the day: OT with Alyssa. Yay that she lemme remain seated and yay that she bought me a Twix bar!
• Aunty Erica and Aunty Harmony took me out for my $1 steak meal! I'd bought my passport along as photo ID but the guy didn't even ask to see it and told me to pick what I wanted! I chose chicken steak, gravy, chips and a cold HK style milk tea! Aunty Erica and Aunty Harmony chose another steak set but with pork and beef; wow, turns out that meal's usually like twenty-seven bucks! Bargain one dollar for me!
• Oops we had so much fun I got home late; PIG mum bit my head off and Nicole tootled me straight to the NAB for physio. Aeeived like twenty-five minutes late, oops! >< XD
• physio today: twenty sit-to-stands, standing practice weightshifting and Ela practising wrist extensions holding birthday cup. Ethan immediately bid me happy birthday and Sonia sang me the birthday song, so I felt loved~
• Went to Hakataya Ramen for my free birthday noodles! Asked right away for extra noodles; it came in a separate bowl!
• Got home, turned the alarm off and took a nice very warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Natalie (not Nicole XD) who rinsed my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. Why I enjoy these showers with Natalie: PIG mum hasn't banned her from being in the bathroom while I waash yet, meaning she can hold the showerhead over my back and keep me warm~
• Of course, PIG mum wasn't gonna feed me second arvo tea; instead, I just tootled online until kim came and tootled me off to choir.
• We sang Unbreakable from Westlife1 Then choir practice proper; I kept my word and didn't use my mobile. But Cathy lemme set an alarm for 6:22pm; we reached that when we were singing the final two lines of the chorus from "My Island Home" then I held up my mobile and said, "Hey, I'm born!" Mr. Jay immediately struck the opening chords of the Happy Birthday song on his guitar and everyone broke into a rendition of the Birthday song for me! Not only that, I got a gift basket and birthday card too! Will open that toms over breakfast~
• Still not all; afterwards Madonna bought me a HUGE birthday cake! Everyone sang me happy birthday again and some lady asked me was I what, seventeen? Nineteen? "Try thirty-two!" I replied and she was like, "You lie!" I laughed and reassured her that Asians look younger. XD
• For once, Kim got me home like five minutes late. Fair enough, usually she can leave like fifteen minutes early!
• Dinner tonight; rice, lotsa not-very-yummy pumpkin, one chunk of avocado and one slice of chicken.
• I skipped soup/tea and just took my bowl over to the sink coz I wanted as much online time as possible!
• At 9pm I used the loo once more and returned online but was summoned back to the gobbling :P table coz PIG mum really did buy a birthday cake for me!
• Actually I had to return again coz after we took photos I forgot to cut it! XD
• Toms: kim's taking me for my fortnightly shopping trip! Since I had lunch with Pastors Chris and Grace last week and lunch with Aunty Erica today, kim will haveta have lunch with me toms. That's okay; we'll go to Ho Lin Wah; there must be less MSG in their food coz she doesn't run to the toilet afterwards. lol, if the male waiter who recognises me comes and tells me the set meals I'll try an instant translation for Kiom. XD
• Then Mr. Hall's coming for arvo tea1
• Righteo, hope everyone's having a smashing week!
  Cheers,
  
  Em. ^^
  
  P.S. Tee hee, tonight I've managed FIVE posts1 XD Yup, I can usually manage that Wednesdays~

Only I'll not have time to play Bejeweled tonight, nor detail today's events in detail, so just briefly, events for today?

• Awesome start to my birthday; nature didn't call till 6:20am. Actually, I did wake partway through the night with a semi-full bladder; I knew if I learned over and flipped my bedside light on my bladder would demand I use the pot :P so I just closed both eyes again and quickly willed myself back to sleep. XD
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
