Tuesday Post 312b

 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 been hard @ work plodding only 649 steps (since I've obviously not left the house yet) and secondly, TWFT topic's 'Your Dream House (2)' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and FIFTEEN MINUTES online when I get home this arvo!! Anyways, events for today?

• I used the pot :P once last night around 12:30am and again this morning around 7am, before quickly falling back asleep; with Spring's arrival, dearest dad may start leaving for work earlier (usually 7:45am) again!
• One hour later, dearest dad considerately walking silently along the hallway to unpop the lock leading into the garage was my wakeup call to use the pot :P again, after which I spent the ten minutes till 8:10am 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 312f

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! With a final, final plodding total of 1695, lemme just cover final, final events for Monday?

• After publishing the previous post, I went and watched YouTube videos.
• 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: fingers crossed PIG mum helps me up...
• Wonder will PIG mum be spiteful again and deliberately close the toilet lid while I'm eating breakfast? *sigh* Wouldn't put it past her ...
• Will presumably have lunch @ 11:30pm coz Izzy's coming @ midday and taking me to the NAB!
• She'll see me home and showered before leaving @ ... 3pm, maybe?
• Meaning I'll prolly haveta let PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela to feed me some fruit for arvo tea ... *sigh*
• But I'm hoping to spend my most important two hours of the day online toms arvo, use the loo for one tinkle @ 5:45pm and be seated ready for Nine's 6pm news! That'll be the 108TH time I've watched the 6pm bulletin this year, woot!
• Will shovel dinner down @ 7pm and have small group Bible study from Acts 15.
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Tee hee, tonight I've managed SIX posts; that's even rarer than five! XD

Monday Post 312e

 Good evening! Firstly, I've already logged in Monday's plodding total @ 1695; secondly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Servant Hears' and thirdly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Guard The Storehouse'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• Sweet, I got to watch the entire Nine news 6pm bulletin from the computer; that's the 107TH time I've watched the 6pm bulletin this year! :D All the interesting surnames I saw: Palaszczuk, Rice, Coatsworth, Uhlmann, Chalmers, Hume, Colbeck, Fabris, Sharmond (heard), Balwin, Marx, Frecklington, Wheeler, Meadows, Gyte, Kala, Clift, Cochrane, Hirst, Rapley, Coburn, Beitz, Haas, Rich, Ricciardo, Baxter, O’Shea, Longland, Willett and Dobbin. 1AUD = 77USc. Brisbane was 11-27 today. Mt. Gravatt toms 10-25.
• When the parents returned home walkies and summoned me over for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Sweet, the best way to end the month: August has been met TWENTY-SIX times!!! :D :D :D
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa icky bitter vegetable, a few slices of tasty pork and a smidge of egg white.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup, after which I took my bowl over to the sink and then walked myself slowly and safely online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Anyways, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for toms 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! Yeah, I can manage that most Mondays now ... suppose Monday's the new Wednesday. XD

Monday Post 312d

 Good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Actually, I'm logging in Monday's potential final, final plodding total for Monday @ 1695 and noting down potential final, final events for tonight?

• Now @ 5:15pm I've finished one more game of Bejeweled lasting 5:34. That's today's quotas satisfied, and now I promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD Actually, I further promise not to play again until toms, because I've actually already played one more memorable game lasting 7:30 and a fourth lasting 9:33!
• After washing and drying Era, I walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Breakfast is one of those lil custard buns PIG mum spent last night baking! I also drink one full mug of water, pop all my usual drugs :P and drink another mug of warm Milo. 
• Breakfast finished, 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. 
• After reading my daily Bible passages, I lift the loo lid and do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully 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!
• Only about fifteen minutes left till the news, so just briefly:
• PIG mum made fried rice for lunch!
• Grr, I thought my NDIS funding beginning to run out meant I could FINALLY endure less physio and have more time left for myself, but no, PIG mum gets David to write me exercises and Tina does them with me: treadmill plodding for twenty minutes, 100 sit-to-stands and 100 reaches for Ela.
• Showered, had a yummy juicy pear for arvo tea and read for one hour
• Phew, CODA rang and said Izzy can take me to the NAB toms!
• I've forgotten which day do I see Ray for acupuncture ... toms/Wed? XD
• Fingers crossed I can watch Nine's 6pm news, wolf down dinner than have Zoom small group meeting! We're doing Bible study from Acts chapter fifteen.
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner, else hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 312c

 Good afternoon! Since I've already logged in today's plodding total @ only 750, just lemme continue events for Monday?

• Nature called again around 6:50am; after another pot :P trip, I spent the ten minutes till 7am 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*
• Happily snoring for another hour, I awoke to use the pot :P again when dearest dad came to kiss me bye and retuck me into bed before leaving for his hard day's work. While waiting for his departure, I softly, slowly but most hatefully sing 13% of my newest second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
• Snoring for about another hour, I awake to use the pot :P once more shortly before PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and dump all my day's clothes on the bed for me 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 both laces and Elf's AFO straps, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth (poor Ela). Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for two tinkles, also fully leaning against the side rail and continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He 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*
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 312b

 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, for the third consecutive day I'm logging in a pissy plodding total of only 750 (staying @ home all day) and secondly, TWFT topic's 'Your Dream House (1) but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-FIVE MINUTES online after lunch!!! Anyways, events for today?

• For my first game of Bejeweled ending @ 11:28am, I lasted 6:38. Now, lemme play one more game of Bejeweled lasting between five and six minutes, and I'll promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• Aww, I'd hoped getting an awesome night's sleep two nights ago was a good omen to achieving another week of awesome night's sleeps, but just after midnight my idiot bladder poked me awake and demanded I use the pot! >< XD
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good morning! :P

Sunday Post 312f

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday has already been logged in @ 800 and secondly, the final, final spam count for the weekend's now seventeen, which seems big for the weekend ... who knows! XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I continued writing my birthday celebrations special blog post.
• 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: fingers crossed PIG mum helps me up...
• Hopefully David won't come gimme physio ... I swear him and that older assistant came last week!
• Tina's minding me from like 2pm till 5pm ... PIG mum had better not get Tina to do physio with me! >< But if she does, I'm so recording it down as a session. *sigh* Too bad Tina won't play along and just say I've done it. XD
• Hoping for the chance to read for one hour and fingers crossed I can watch the entire Nine's news 6pm bulletin; the 107TH time I'll have watched it!!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Tee hee, tonight I've managed SIX posts! That's even rarer than five! XD
  P.P.S. Joni's devotional topic's 'Balm In Gilead'; it finally arrived. XD

Sunday Post 312e

 Good evening! Firstly, I'm actually gonna log Sunday's plodding total @ only 800 and not 750 (will explain why later) and secondly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Self-Checking'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• Once the first half of the Storm vs. Sea Eagles game was over, I asked PIG mum could she please feed me some arvo tea? Yes, but before that I had to let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk out to dad's deck and let her gleefully force mostly poor Ela to take down the clothes; argh, I HATES standing practice! >< *sigh* She'd even timed it just so that dad returned from playing baddy with his mates and enjoyed arvo tea with them, meaning he can see what a piece of sh*t I've become and she can flaunt to him exactly how much power she has over me. >< She's hateful like that. *sigh*
• And if that wasn't bad enough, next I had to let her gleefully force poor Ela to feed me a banana! First, I had to let her gleefully force poor Ela to hold the banana, second, she happily ordered Era around demanding I hold the knife 'correctly' (i.e. her way; I've never heard that one could hold knives 'incorrectly' and thirdly I had to let her gleefully force poor Ela to feed me the banana. Unsurprisingly, like I'm sure she hoped, dad came inside while Ela was struggling with the banana, meaning that again he could see what a piece of sh*t I've become and how much power PIG mum enjoys over me. *sigh*
• After washing the banana down with one mug of tea, I walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Phew, I'd only missed fifty seconds of the second half. Worth watching the rest, then. I enjoy watching from the computer because I can easily make out how many meters were made each set when changeover time arrives; from the television, it's too small for me to make out.
• Since the parents had gone walkies, I even started watching Nine's 6pm news bulletin! I'd watched twenty-eight minutes when dad summoned me over for dinner; lol, two more minutes and I'd been halfway through and therefore refused to join! Here are all the interesting surnames I found for the first twenty-eight minutes: Heinke, Comisky, Uhlmann, Frydenberg (heard), Albanese, Gyte, Fitzgibbon, Khazal, Arvier, Biden (hearrd), Willan, Temple, Hillman and Baxter.
• Before dinner, I walked myself slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Score, the parents lemme use the spoon Pao handed me this morning; August has been satisfied TWENTY-FIVE times!! :D
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy wombok, lotsa sweet soup carrot, two thin strips of delicious BBQ chook and one tiny chunk of the roast pork dearest dad recently bought from ALDI.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking my bowl over to the fridge I walked myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Only suddenly all the soup rushed down and I needed the bathroom! >< XD
• Well, better get back to penning (well, typing XD) my birthday celebrations for this year; fingers crossed I can bbl shortly after 9pm following one last loo trip with the final, final spam count for the weekend, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms, else hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Tee hee, I've already managed FIVE posts tonight! Less next week though; ESS will resume in-person!

Sunday Post 312d

 Good afternoon again and potentially one final greeting for Sunday! Since I've already logged in today's plodding total @ only 750, lemme just note down that the potential final, final spam count for the weekend's now twelve and cover potential final, final events for Sunday?

• Since Pao was arriving in five minutes to help me up, I spent that short time 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 2:43pm I've played one game of Bejeweled lasting 5:34. Now, lemme finish one more game lasting in between six and seven minutes, and I'll promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• When Pao announced her arrival promptly @ 8:30am, PIG mum let her in, before giving me fifteen more minutes. After I counted that time down, I could hear PIG mum doing her favourite thing: yapping. XD Don't worry PIG mum, I couldn't hear what you were saying because you lemme turn the heater on last night but I heard the incessant murmur of your voice. XD While waiting for PIG mum to finally release Pao so she could come help me up, 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*
• Whoops I've just used up all my time! Don't worry, will still willingly hit the sack tonight because I've actually played one more memorable game of Bejeweled lasting more than seven minutes and a fourth lasting more than eight! But super-quickly:
• Pao helped me up, kindly squirted me some toothpaste and then even fried me an egg for breakfast!
• Read for fifty minutes, reaching pg. 435 @ 9:33am and reaching pg. 450 @ 9:57am.
• Showered @ 10am - hairwash today. Also thanks to Pao who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, I headed out to the living room and booted the computer up. Pao fed me one tiny mug of white tea with two sugars and dad fed me like four/five tasty MSG bikkies.
• Watched ESS. Sang everything for worship, plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Pastor Grace spoke today. Her sermon was the final one from the Essential Services series.
• Best of all, we've got in-person service next Sunday! I've already registered~
• Lunch was three tiny slices of the pizza dad had picked up from Dominoes. Turns out when you buy the cheap one, the sizes are much smaller but the boxes are still the same!
• Lunch was washed down with one mug of Chinese tea, after which I went and did a stinky unspeakable.
• Since dearest dad's gone out to play baddy with his mates and PIG mum's upstairs having her arvo nap, fingers crossed I'll get to watch the Sunday arvo footy in peace ...
• Toms: fingers crossed PIG mum helps me up toms ...
• Also fingers crossed David WON'T come gimme physio afterwards ... surely he already came last week! But with my luck; PIG mum'll get Tina to complete goodness knows how many sets of stupid exercises for her ... *sigh* 
• But fingers crossed I'll get to watch the entire 6pm Nine news bulletin - the 107TH time I'll have watched the news this year!
• Righteo, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 312c

 Good afternoon! Righteo, events for today?

• Yay, not only second consecutive awesome sleep last night, but my equal best for the year! Nature didn't call until 8:25am, when dearest dad came into my room to replace the battery for my clock on the wall and awoke me! 
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 312b

 Heylo again and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I get to post online. XD Firstly, I'm logging Sunday's plodding total @ only 750 (coz I doubt I'm leaving the house); secondly, TWFT topic's 'How To Negotiate Well (2)' and thirdly, the spam count for the weekend's ten (it reached double digits, ha XD) but fourthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and FIFTY-FIVE MINUTES online after I finish watching ESS!! So hopefully bbl with today's events, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!

Saturday Post 312d

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! With a final, final plodding total of only 800, just lemme cover final, final events for tonight?

• At 9pm, I walked myself slowly and safely once more 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: presumably my second consecutive day stuck @ home; if so, expect a pissy plodding total of only 750.
• Pao's coming to help me up @ 8:30am and the parents will dash off to church for 9am!
• Planning to read for one hour and then shower @ 10am before watching ESS Livestream @ 11am. Unless I can somehow persuade Pao to shout me out for breakfast @ Maccas... I know, wishful thinking. XD But planning to ask Pao to hand me cutlery/skooting my chair over to get myself cutlery because I sure wouldn't mind one last day this month not having to get myself cutlery for all three meals! XD
• Braced for a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum ... *sigh*
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^ 

Saturday Post 312c

 Good evening! Since I've already logged in Saturday's plodding total @ only 800, lemme just note down Joni's devotional topic's 'The Great Amen'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• When dad got home, he immediately demanded I head over to the television and watch the news from the sofa. I refused to comply until the next advertisement break came.
• Woo hoo, that's the 106TH time I've watched the 6pm news this year!!
• Once the news was over, I used the loo for one more tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• For the parents' anniversary dinner, dad went to Dominoes and picked up two pizzas, as well as one little box of cheese and garlic scrolls! I had four little slices of pizza and one scroll for dinner~
• Dinner was washed down with one mug of Chinese tea, after which PIG mum kindly fetched the presents I'd bought for them! I told them to eat one chocolate eclair each but dearest dad said no, told PIG mum to get a knife and he cut up the eclairs; in the end, we divvied two things between three like how we always do: dad gets one while PIG mum and I share half each~
• Dinner over, 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. 
• CODA just rang: poor Hannah somehow hurt her back and can't come toms! >< Luckily, Pao can come instead~
• Anyways, hopefully bbl shortly after one last loo trip @ 9pm with the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms else hope everyone has a smashing Sunday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 312b

 Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for Saturday! Actually, think I'll login today's plodding total @ only 800 because before Izzy left I went and found where Tina had hidden the chocolate eclairs I'd bought for the parents two days ago; I may also haveta get them myself. Righteo, potential final, final events for Saturday?

• Precisely two hours after I'd started online, I logged outta everything, and after using the loo for one tinkle, walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Thanks to PIG mum who'd left me one yummy banana; I also went and poured myself one full mug of milk for arvo tea. Thankfully, PIG mum hadn't moved the milk into the laundry fridge. XD
• Hey, the Our Daily Bread devotion arrived @ 5:17! The topic's 'The Ultimate Wave'.
• Happiness was reading for forty more minutes; it's only Saturdays I get to spend a blessed three hours reading~ This arvo, I reached pg. 400 @ 4:53pm~
• Before returning online, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• PIG mum's napping upstairs ... dearest dad's working in the garage ... perhaps I'll go watch Nine's 6pm news. XD Hopefully bbl after dinner, else hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,.
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 312

 Good afternoon! Firstly, my final, final plodding total for Friday actually stands @ 8676 (my best for 2020!); secondly, today I've been hard @ work plodding only 760 steps (haven't left the house, obviously) and thirdly, TWFT topic's 'How To Negotiate Well (1)'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:20am (when PIG mum started a-THUMPING around upstairs) and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep again coz I knew she'd do more THUMPING around one hour later!
• At 3:13pm I've played one game of Bejeweled lasting 5:20. Now, lemme finish one more game lasting between six and seven minutes, and I'll promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• Now @ 3:25pm I've played one more game of Bejeweled lasting 6:09. That's today's quotas satisfied, and now I promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• Exactly one hour later, PIG mum's second round of a-THUMPING (this time upstairs to get changed for work) awakens me for another pot :P trip, before 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 she hits me with the eye goo and leaves for her morning's work, 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*

• After dearest dad retucks me into bed and promises to stay quiet and lemme sleep in peace, I have an INCREDIBLE snore because I don't wake again until Isabelle comes to help me up @ 10am!
• Now @ 4:02pm, I've played one more game of Bejeweled lasting 7:02. Right, promise I'll not play again until toms. But I've used too much time playing, so just super-briefly:
• Got kitted, brushed teeth, used loo, had breakfast and happily read for eighty-five minutes first up, finishing pg. 275 @ 10:47, reaching pg. 300 @ 11:17, @ finishing pg. 325 @ 11:47 and reaching pg. 333 @ 11:57. As for Izzy, after she tidies my room she sits and gently massages Ela for awhile, painting her white with baby purple spots today.
• Used loo @ midday, enjoyed my second big mug of white tea with two sugars, munched two Tim Tams and rang Aunty Lai, chatting with her for 8:47.
• Showered @ midday - hairwash today. Also thanks to Izzy who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was one yummy bowl of fried rice dearest dad had cooked for me this morning while I was sleeping plus my third and final mug of white tea with two sugars.
• One more loo trip and two tinkles for me before I signed Izzy off, saying my thanks and byes.
• After I've finished my most important two hours of the day online, I'll use the loo for another tinkle and then read for another forty minutes, because it's only Saturdays I can spend a blessed three hours reading~
• Fingers crossed PIG mum will really tell dad to buy pizza to celebrate their wedding anniversary today!
• Toms: just church, nothing special. Must ask PIG mum who's coming to help me up @ 8:30 ...
• Oh, probably my second consecutive day @ home; will login a plodding total of only 750/760 again.
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing Sunday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 312

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 8075 steps (my best for the year, woot!); secondly, TWFT topic's 'Stop!' and thirdly, the spam count for the week's twenty but fourthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and FIVE MINUTES online tonight after the Broncos play the Roosters should the parents demand I watch the news tonight but if not, just FIVE minutes!!!  (Or FIFTEEN, should I decide to watch the sports report. XDDAnyways, just briefly, events for today?

• For my first game of Bejeweled ending @ 5:22, I lasted 5:06. Now, lemme finish one more game lasting between six and seven minutes, and I'll promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• After PIG mum helped me up this morning, I brushed teeth, had breakfast and did a stinky unspeakable before Hannah drove me to the NAB. 'Twas funny, I pushed open the disabled toilet door, only to find a man using his electric wheelchair already inside! "Eep, sorry!" I squeaked, pulling the door shut, before sitting in the armchair outside the loo and awaiting his exit. When the guy came out, I reminded him, "Sir, you've gotta remember to lock the door next time!" The guy, who's heavily tattooed down both legs, just laughed sheepishly, saying, "Sorry, I forgot." XD
• Physio today: Forty minutes treadmill walking reaching speed 3km/hr. Saw Sonia and asked her what appointment had she taken her daughter two days ago? Aiya, poor Kathryn has been having tummy troubles! ><
• At 6pm exactly, I've finished one game of Bejeweled lasting 6:55. Now, lemme play one more game lasting between five and six minutes, and I'll promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• Now @ 6:29pm I've played another game of Bejeweled lasting 5:12. That's today's quotas satisfied, and now I willingly promise to hit the sack tonight. XD Actually, I further promise not to play again until toms, because I've actually played one more memorable game lasting 8:02!
• Physio today: Forty minutes treadmill walking reaching speed 3km/hr. Wonder how come last week I managed ten more minutes? Oh, prolly coz I had to wait for that guy in the electric wheelchair to vacate the disabled bathroom; PIG mum has already bit my head off for not walking to the absolute very other end and using the new bathroom there and says she'll tell Hannah to take me there next time. *sigh*
• Back home, I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Hannah who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• I had one tinkle before Hannah flipped the nice hot water off, got dried, had another tinkle and got creamed. When Hannah got me rekitted, I had one more tinkle when she was helping with Erf's laces and one last when I was drying inside both ears with a tissue and she was washing my glasses for me.
• Back outside, I got myself a fork and had about one bowl of angel hair spaghetti with lotsa carrot and like three tiny slices of that German sausage Ray recommended us. 
• After turning the alarm on, I went with PIG mum to the local IGA and bought milk before seeing Aunty Ann for a comfy massage. Lol, PIG mum demanded I shut up (I was counting softly out aloud how long Era was helping Ela stretch); when we got to Aunty Ann's place I asked her any chance she could reduce her incessant yapping because I thought she took me to see Aunty Ann for a comfy massage for relaxation but how's that possible when she yaps unceasingly like that? XD Unsurprisingly, she bit my head off. XD
• Got home and had my delicious custard bun for arvo tea; also drank one mug of Chinese tea before using the loo for one more tinkle and then popping online.
• Cripes the weather forecast will be read next and dad still hasn't gotten home yet to reheat dinner for me! >< *sigh*
• Broncos are playing premiers Roosters tonight ... we're predicted to lose. BIG. XD
• Toms: it's the parents' 36th wedding anniversary!! I've got presents and cards all ready for them~
• But if dad won't take us out to dinner to celebrate, expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
• Can't remember who's coming to help me up @ 10am but fingers crossed I can read for a blessed three hours and looking forward to my three white teas!
• Anyways, maybe bbl (prolly bbl, should the Broncos lose big as per prediction) else hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em.^^

Thursday Post 312c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 3675. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• At 9pm, I walk 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. 
• Tonight's ice cream night, yay! Like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all~
• Toms: NAB physio appointment from 11am till midday. Hannah's coming @ 10am, meaning PIG mum will help me up toms morning for sure, yay~
• Will get home and shower before having lunch before seeing Aunty Ann for a comfy massage. I'm looking forward to her firm ministrations; bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ her.
• Unfortunately that means nobody's coming to mind me from 4pm till 6pm, which means I'll prolly haveta let PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela to feed me some fruit for arvo tea ... unless I can persuade her to just gimme toast for breakfast and then the custard bun for arvo tea? Worth trying to ask, anyhow. XD Otherwise I can just pretend to forget my custard bun for breakfast and then say oops  I forgit it! Never mind, I'll eat the custard bun for arvo tea instead. Nah, I'm not THAT lucky; PIG mum just has some weird NEED to constantly show her power over me by forcing poor Ela into doing stuff she normally wouldn't do, because even pre-brain injury, I'm RIGHT-HANDED!! >< XD
• Wonder if I've got time to watch Nine's 6pm news - the 106TH time I'll have watched it! - wolf down dinner, quickly use the loo once then crash the couch with Carnival and watch the Broncos play the Roosters toms night? Even though everyone predicts we'll get flogged by the current premiers ... >< XD
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 312b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3591 (ha, I'm just over 3.5 grand XD); secondly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Rescue The Weak' and thirdly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Reasoning With God'. Righteo, super-briefly, continuing tonight's events?

• The moment I had finished my most important two hours of the day, I continued composing my special blog post.
• When dearest dad summoned me for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Woo hoo, that's the TWENTY-THIRD time this month I've been exempt from getting myself cutlery for all three meals this month!! :D :D :D
• After dinner and soup, dad ordered I join him on the couch and watch the first half of the Bunnies vs. the Eels
• Lol, 8:55pm and PIG mum's just finished sleeping and tumbled downstairs ... XD
• Righteo, hopefully brb after one final loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for Thursday, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening Friday else hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 312

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3321 steps and secondly, TWFT topic's "Praying According To God's Will." Anyways, events for today?

• Lol, you'd reckon after I'd exhausted myself with the two-hour physio session @ the NAB yesterday I'd be entitled to an awesome night's sleep, right? Only my stupid bladder nudged me awake around 2am and again around 3:30am to use the pot! :P
• At 5:18pm I've played one game of ZBejeweled lasting 5:22. Now, lemme finish one more game lasting between six and seven minutes, and I promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• Nature called again the third time around 7am; after a third pot :P trip I spent the ten minutes till 7am 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* 

• Sleeping happily for one more hour, I used the pot :P again when dearest dad considerately walked silently along the hallway and unpopped the lock leading into the garage. Shortly afterwards, he came to kiss me bye and retuck me into bed before leaving for his hard day's work.
• Now @ 6:05pm I've played one more game of Bejeweled lasting 6:55. That's today's quotas satisfied, and now I willingly hit the sack tonight. XD Actually, I further promise not to play again until toms, because I've also played one more memorable game lasting 7:33! But just briefly now:
• Tina arrived ten minutes late today (traffic).
• During and after breakfast, I happily read for one hour, reaching pg. 225 @ 8:50am and finishing pg. 250 @ 9:22am.
• After doing a stinky unspeakable, Tina tootled me off to Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown for my shopping trip!
• After using the loo for one tinkle first, we bought sth from The Reject Shop. Amazingly, it wasn't @ the end wall! I also chose an adorable anniversary card for the parents~
• Next, we bought groceries from Woolies. As we were walking towards Woolies, someone goes, "Hey, Emily!" I turn my head left towards the sound and there's Caitlin, manning the self-serve checkouts! Era waves back and I call, "Please don't go on lunchbreak yet; we'll come through once we've picked up some groceries!" She replies, "I'll be here!"
• After grabbing groceries Tina scanned them through the self-serve checkout while I took a quick rest sitting on the counter thing beside the self-serve checkout and had a quick chat to Caitlin~
• Next, we catch the lift onto level four and buy more groceries from Coles before finally checking out the new place PIG mum had suggested I buy her and dearest dad a small cake from? Unfortunately, that attempt was met with failure: firstly, everything was just left out in the open and there weren't any cakes! Rather, there was like apple danishes, croissants, etc.
• Hence we headed back downstairs to New York Baguette. I sat on the bench outside the bakery while Tina first went to put the groceries into her car and then went inside to ask where the cakes were.
• Turns out they're @ the very back, inside some glass cabinet! All the cakes were way too expensive but Tina saw chocolate eclairs that were $7.50 each and I bought one each for the parents.
• Shopping down, Tina tootled us back to Woka Warrigal. After she'd visited the bathroom and eaten two small packets of plain crisps, she walked with me inside Woka Woka. Leaning against the counter I thought I ordered the teriyaki chicken ried rice lunch special.
• Taking a seat, suddenly Thomas, Daph and their male friend enter too! Daph comes over for a hug, also asking how am I after that scary traffic incident that befell Hannah and I like two months ago? I sheepishly confessed that I'd honestly thought oh sh*t I'm gonna die. XD
• This time Nick didn't say "Miss?" to get Tina's attention; he actually walked past our table and told Tina, "You're food's ready,"!
• Back home, the Lungs had arrived! By the time I'd used the loo for one tinkle and headed out to the gobbling :P table, Pastor Chris had already rearranged the table to easily fit all four of us! (One @ each side)
• Lol, I must've accidentally ordered the teriyaki chicken with rice, not the teriyaki chicken fried rice. XD Didn't matter~ Since mother wasn't around, I didn't eat the icky capsicums nor the unpleasant mushrooms. XD Over lunch, Pastor Chris told me that his small group will do Bible study from Ezra again tonight and Pastor Grace shared about how she's doing a podcast soon!
• They left around 2pm; I walked them out, elbow bumped them both and then returned to the gobbling :P table to finish my lunch. XD
• After writing the anniversary card, I took a nice hot 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, since Tina kindly stayed and held the showerhead over my back to keep me warm after I called her back to please gimme some facewash, I was actually all done after 10% but happily leaned fully against the side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling Tina back.
• After I flipped the nice hot water off, I got dried, had another tinkle while Tina went to find me some clothes; dunno what she was doing when I was washing my hair XD and then got creamed. When Tina rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was helping with Erf's sock and one last one when I was drying inside both ears with a tissue.
• Back outside, I turned the computer on and asked Tina to please go clean the bathroom.
• After she left I let PIG mum nab half my arvo tea, the yummy sausage bun.
• Arvo tea was washed down with one mug of Chinese tea, after which I smuggled my mobile into the loo and played Farm Heroes for the full five tinkles. XD
• Toms: presuming PIG mum'll help me up; can't remember what time's my NAB physio session? Mr. Jig-Air has said I'll be plodding the treadmill toms.
• Will come home, shower and have lunch before seeing Aunty Ann for a comfy massage. I'm looking forward to her firm ministrations; bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ her.
• Will prolly haveta let her gleefully force poor Ela to feed me some fruit for arvo tea, but hey.
• Can I watch Nine's 6pm news toms night before wolfing down dinner, using the loo for one tinkle and then crashing onto the couch to watch the Broncos play? May haveta skip dinner for that ... *siggh*
• Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^ 

Wednesday Post 312b

Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 3499 (meaning I'm certain I'll have cracked 3.5 grand before the night's out XD); secondly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Spiritual Driving' and thirdly, Joni's devotional topic's "What's Fair?" Anyways, just briefly, let's start with last night's events first!

• At 5:30pm, this new carer called Isabella from Staffing Options came to take me to Toastmasters! Can you believe it: she's only twenty; won't turn twenty-one till the end of December!
• Had great fun last night; was picked for Table Topics! Steph asked me did I prefer ketchup/mustard with chips. She called me the foodie of the club before giving me this question. Also well done to Isabella, who participated in the warm-up!
• Oh, doesn't matter I've not played my two usual games of Bejeweled; I'll still willingly hit the sack tonight coz I've just played one memorable one lasting 8:40!
• Toastmasters over, Isabella tootled me back to the Warrigal Square Maccas for my Happy Meal. She bought dinner from Maccas too!
• Got home, repeat the usual nightly events, zzz~
  
• Today: yay, for the first time in four days, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:50am~
• Hannah drove me out to the NAB for my two-hour session: five single leg push-upsfor Erf on Tower Of Power and then 100 for Elf, forty-eight sit-to-stands with left reaching and reaching with cone work for Era.
• Got home and showered - hairwash today. Also thanks to Hannah who rinsed out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Got myself a spoon for lunch and had half a bowl of tasteless rice leftovers. Disappointing, considering how hard I worked @ the NAB this morning.
• Turned alarm on, got into car and saw Ray for some massage and acupuncture.
• Had some fruit for arvo tea, did GCCW homework, read daily Bible passages and tootled online for myself.
• Watched Nine's 6pm news - the 105TH time I've watched it! :D All the things I usually note down: Seibold, Webcke, Palaszczuk, Whop, Chappell, Frydenberg, Chalmers, Tarant (heard), Nabi, Qasem, Woiwod, Crump, Widma, Lion, Ravabar, Palaszczuk, Abate, Wheeler, Mullany, Pompeo, Eggleton, Longeran, Whitfeld, Nwanoku, Acton, McNair, Plawecki, Holbrook, Starcevich, Azhar, Barbar, Tropp and Seibold.  71c Telstra $2.96 down ten cents and Brisbane was 9-22 today. Mt. Gravatt toms: 8-22. 6:06am sunrise 5:33pm sunset
• Had the usual dinner, returned online and used loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm.
• Toms: Tina's taking me shopping! Wonder how late she'll come toms ... XD
• PIG mum suggests maybe read @ home before hitting Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown?
• Must buy parents a wedding anniversary present and card for toms!! Pastor Grace suggested cake; Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown suggests Mister Minit?
• Will buy takeaway from Woka Warrigal then come home and have lunch with Pastors Chris and Grace~
• Eels are playing the Bunnies toms night ... will prolly watch that.
• Righteo, hope everyone's having a smashing week!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 311c

 Good afternoon and probably one final greeting for Tuesday! Em's probable final, final plodding total for today now stands @ 2878. Righteo, just briefly, probable final, final events for Tuesday?

• Now @ 4:16pm I've finished one more game of Bejeweled lasting 6:13. That's today's quotas satisfied, and now I promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• I used the pot :P twice last night, once before dearest dad came and kissed me bye before leaving for his hard day's work and once more when PIG mum began her daily a-THUMPING around.
• Had another lil slice of PIG mum's unpleasant chocolate cake for breakfast, did a stinky unspeakable, read my daily Bible passages and then tootled online for myself before going to prepare myself lunch @ 11:45am.
• Made myself a tuna sandwich with one slice of cheese and let PIG mum gleefully order me around demanding I cut the toastie holding the knife 'her' way but was saved from pouring myself one mug of Chinese tea coz Hannah arrived!
• Now @ 4:34pm I've finished one more game of Bejeweled lasting 7:02. Right, promise I'll not play again until toms. XD
• My new student for the next five wee's Hongkie, like me! Haley grew up in Canada and did a science degree first, hence why he's twenty-six~
• Physio today: twenty laps hallway walking with step-through gait, descended and ascended stairs (nine steps) seven/eight times.
• After another loo trip, Hannah tootled me home, I turned the alarm off and then I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Hannah who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• I had one tinkle before Hannah flipped the nice hot water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Hannah rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was doing Elf's AFO straps and one last when I was drying inside the ears with a tissue.
• Back outside, arvo tea was another small block of PIG mum's unpleasant chocolate cake and one mug of jasmine green tea.
• Before Hannah left, I used the loo once more for two tinkles. She's back 8:15am tomorrow morning and taking me to my big two hour physio session @ the NAB!
• The parents have just gone for walkies together, saying they'll be back for this new carer to take me to Toastmasters tonight.
• Maybe when I get home I'll join our small group Zoom meeting for fifteen minutes while munching my Happy Meal?
• Toms: a bright and early start for me! PIG mum will help me up and then Hannah will come take me for my two hour session @ the NAB with Haley!
• Will get home, shower and have lunch before seeing Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Bet PIG mum's simplyt DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him. XD
• Will prolly also haveta let PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela to feed me some fruit for arvo tea, but hey.

• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good morning! :P

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Monday Post 311e

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! With a final, final plodding total of 1695, lemme just cover final, final events for Monday?

• Before Tina leaves, I use the loo for two more tinkles. She's back taking me shopping this Thursday; I need to go wedding anniversary present shopping for the parents!!
• I happily tootle online, before signing outta everything @ 5:45pm, using the loo for one more tinkle @ 5:50pm and then crashing the couch ready to watch Nine's 6pm news with Carnival!
• Woo hoo, that's the 104TH time I've watched the 6pm news bulletin! All the interesting surnames I saw: Palaszczuk, Cowles, Upcroft, Gollschewski, Uhlmann, Marles, Colbeck, Frydenberg, Salama, Alayan, Ezat, Fouda, Hawes, Alnobani, Boswell, Tarrant, Boscaino (heard), Dyball, Heinke, Seibold (heard), Monfries, Biden (heard), Conway, Harsley, Burrows, Popov (heard), Kohler, Prasad, Mortimer, Baxter, Rafferty Dawes, Coatsworth, Dobbin, Boyd, Tszyu, Rushton and Seibold. 71.62 =1AUD. Brisbane was 9-23. Mt. Gravatt tomorrow: 6-21. 6:08am sunrise 5:42pm sunset
• Dad said dinner wasn't ready yet so after the news ended 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. 
• When I was summoned for dinner I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely over to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy cauliflower, lotsa little tong vegetable, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup tomato, two/three small slices of fish and one lil chunk of chicken. The food pyramid seems slightly skewed ... even though PIG mum says it's like five vegetables to two meat, just the sheer amount of vegetables heaped onto my bowl seemed disproportional! XD
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of yucky soup; after I took the bowl over to the sink 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. 
• At 9pm, I walked 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. 
• Toms: fingers crossed PIG mum helps me up...
• Will try do a stinky unspeakable after breakfast before reading my daily Bible passages and then popping online for myself.
• Can't remember what time Hannah's taking me to the NAB but it's a new block of students! Hope I get a nice one~
• Hannah will see me home and showered before leaving @ like 4pm/4:30.
• Hopefully Davina will find someone to drive me to Toastmasters toms 5:30pm!! Coz I'm looking forward to my Happy Meal ... even though they were what I had surely MORE THAN TWO DECADES ago, I can't remember when I last had chips!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Tee hee, I've managed FIVE posts tonight! XD

Monday Post 311d

 Good evening! Firstly, have plodded treadmill and can now officially login plodding total @ 1695; secondly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'How Did I Get Here?' and thirdly, Joni's devotional topic's 'A Letter From Christopher Reeve'. Anyways, continuing events for Monday?

• After PIG mum hits me with the eye goo and helps me exceedingly slightly with nothing but the bra strap, I immediately get the rest of myself kitted, before calling her back to please help with Elf's AFO straps and both laces.
• That done, I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth (poor Ela). Teeth brushed, I walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Breakfast is one tiny chunk of that chocolate cake PIG mum spent last night baking. No offence, but it tasted pretty awful. XD Think PIG mum said she added too much baking soda? I had a good laugh when dearest dad rang her to specifically tell her how awful it was. XD
• Breakfast finished, I walk myself slowly and safely to the loo, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I walk myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• First I read my daily Bible passages and then secondly I tootle online for myself until 12:30pm.
• When PIG mum summons me over for lunch, I walk myself slowly and safely over to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 

• After getting myself a spoon, lunch was one bowl of tasteless rice leftovers; I also poured myself one mug of some Taiwanese tea Aunty Ann gave us~
• After taking my bowl over to the sink, 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. 
• When David and the therapy assistant arrived (I keep forgetting her name >< XD), they were both good and went to wash their hands first.
• Physio today: twenty minutes treadmill walking 0.8km/hr, 100 sit-to-stands with left bias, 100 reaches for Era and 100 reaches for Ela.
• Took a nice hot shower afterwards - 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, since Tina kindly stayed and held the water over my back and kept me warm after I called her back to please gimme some facewash, I was actually all done after 13% but happily leaned fully against the right side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling Tina back.
• After Tina came back, I got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Tina rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was helping with Erf's sock and one last one when I was drying inside the ears with a tissue.
• Back outside, arvo tea was like four strawberries cut into half and one small mug of yummy jasmine green tea. Happiness was reading the book club novel for one hour; today I reached pg. 200 @ 4:09pm.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 311d

 Potentially one final greeting for tonight! Have plodded treadmill with David and can officially login Monday's plodding total @ 1695. Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• PIG mum hits me with the eye goo and helps me exceedingly slightly with nothing but the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes and using the pot :P once more first.
• She comes back to help with only 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 walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Now @ 5:43pm I've played one more game of Bejeweled lasting 8:02. Right, promise I'll not play again until toms. XD
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 311c

 Good afternoon! Still haven't plodded treadmill for David yet, so just continuing events for today?

• Hopefully bbl, coz I'm still owed SIXTEEN MINUTES online!!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 311b

 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, I'm not gonna login any plodding total until after I've plodded the treadmill with David and secondly, TWFT topic's "Stay Out Of Harm's Way" but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-THREE MINUTES online after lunch!! Anyways, events for today?

• For my first game of Bejeweled ending @ 11:29am, I lasted 6:15. Now, lemme play one more game lasting between five and six minutes, and I'll promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• I used the pot :P once around 1am last night and again around 6:50am this morning, before spending the ten minutes till 7:00am 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 @ 11:57am I've finished one more game of Bejeweled lasting 5:53. That's today's quotas satisfied, and now I promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• Nature called again one hour later; after another pot :P trip  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*
• After dearest dad retucked me back into bed and left for his hard day's work, I happily snore for another hour and more, waking again for the pot another hour later. Strange that PIG mum still doesn't begin her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs? I give myself fifteen more minutes and then bang the wall for her; yup, she overslept. XD
  Cheers,

Sunday Post 311d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! With a final, final plodding total of only 760, just lemme cover final, final events for Sunday?

• 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: fingers crossed PIG mum helps me up... probably my 3rd consecutive day stuck @ home. PIG mum did offer to take me out but I'd rather not coz that means I'll haveta turn the alarm on.
• Wonder if she'll lemme finish breakfast and read my daily Bible passages before trying to do a stinky unspeakable (coz I've not done one today)/should I try do a stinky unspeakable for her right after breakfast?
• Looking forward to having lunch with dearest dad @ home; hopefully we'll Whatsapp video chat 4th Aunty and Yau Hin!
• David's coming to gimme a session of physio @ like 1:15pm/1:45pm. Presuming I'll plod the treadmill with him, so will login a plodding total of either 1231 (ten minutes treadmill walking), 1695 (twenty minutes treadmill walking) or 2152 (thirty minutes treadmill walking provided David keeps the speed @ 0.8km/hr.
• Tina's minding me from 2pm till 5pm ... wonder how late she'll arrive toms? XD
• Fingers crossed I'll watch Nine's 6pm bulletin again; the 104TH time I'll have watched it!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead~
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Joni's devotional finally arrived! The topic: Of Deadlines, Deadbeats And Dead Ends'.

Sunday Post 311c

 Good evening again! Joni's devotional still hasn't arrived yet, so with a plodding total of again only 760, lemme continue tonight's events?

• When the parents summoned me over for dinner I used the loo for one tinkle before walking myself slowly and safely over to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Score; the parents lemme use the spoon Pao kindly got for me this morning for dinner; August has been met twenty-one times!! :D :D
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa little tong vegetable, some steamed fish, several wee chunks of delicious chicken and even one lil chunk of roast pork that dearest dad bought from ALDI; the crackling's really good! 
• Dinner was washed down with one mug of water and after taking my bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Anyways, fingers crossed I can bbl after one last loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, I've already logged in Sunday's plodding total @ only 760; secondly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'No Fishing Allowed' and thirdly, the potential final, final spam count for the weekend's now only nine. Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• After visiting the loo for one more tinkle, I watched Sunday NRL! Cowboys vs. the Knights; dunno why the Knights away jersey was orange coz aren't they usually red and blue?
• When PIG mum tumbled downstairs from her long arvo nap I offered to watch the game from the sofa if she'd gimme some arvo tea? I prefer watching from the computer coz I can easily see the metres gained stat @ the end of each set. PIG mum said yes, so after visiting the loo for one tinkle I walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Arvo tea was one juicy pear; surprisingly, PIG mum didn't gleefully force poor Ela to feed me it! Era wolfed it down before she could change her mind and then I walked obediently to the sofa and watched the game's second half.
• Oh, for shame ... for the first time since like 2012, the Cowboys were held to nil! >< *cringe*
• After that, I happily watched Nine's 6pm news - the 103RD time I've seen it! But brr ... Mt. Gravatt's minimum's only six tonight!!
• News finished, I used the loo for one more tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely online, again 

  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 

• Toms: fingers crossed PIG mum helps me up...

• Will haveta ask her to please not empty the pot :P until after I've had breakfast and tried to do a stinky unspeakable ... haven't done one today.

• Looking forward to having lunch with dearest dad; hopefully we can have Whatsapp videochat with 4th Aunty and Yau Hin!

• David's coming to gimme a session of physio ... will plod treadmill with him most prolly but not sure for how long yet so won't login a plodding total.

• Tina's minding me from 2pm till 5pm ... wonder how late she'll arrive toms? XD

• Then fingers crossed I can watch Nine's 6pm news again ... the 104TH time I'll have watched it!

• Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,

 Good afternoon! Firstly, I'm logging in today's plodding total @ only 760 (2nd consecutive day staying @ home); secondly, TWFT topic's 'Be Content With Your Calling (2)' and thirdly, the spam count for the weekend's only seven. Anyways, events for today?

• For my first game of Bejeweled ending @ 1:13, I lasted 6:37. Now, lemme play one more game lasting in between five and six minutes, and I'll promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• Aww, my twenty-two-day awesome sleep streak ended this morning around 1am when my idiot bladder nudged me awake @ 1am and demanded I use the pot :P for her, otherwise she'd wet the bed. >< XD
• Nature called again around 7am and after another pot :P trip I spent the ten minutes till 7:10am 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 another hour's happy snoring, I used the pot :P again before spending 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*
• When Pao announced her arrival precisely @ 8:30am, PIG mum let her in, before offering me fifteen more minutes. Pao obviously can't count, though; first she came back four minutes too early, then one minute too early, then thirty seconds too early, then ten seconds too early! But I just imperiously waved her away until my fifteen more minutes were really up. XD
• Now @ 2:26pm I've played one more game of Bejeweled lasting 5:31. That's today's quotas satisfied and now I promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD Actually, I further promise not to play again until toms because I've also played one more memorable game lasting 7:21 and a fourth lasting 9:25! But super-quickly now coz I've only got like fifteen minutes left:
• Had toast for breakfast and happily read for fifty minutes.
• Showered @ 10am - hairwash today. Also thanks to Pao who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeinfg Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted; I turned the computer on. Pao made me one mug of white tea with two sugars and fed me two of this Vita-sth bikkies for morning tea.
• Watched ESS @ 11am.
• Sang everything for worship plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Pastor Chris with another sermon from his Essential Services series.
• Had like half a small pie for lunch; amazing: PIG mum made a cuppa white tea for me with a lil honey!
• Used the loo for one more tinkle and then returned online.
• Toms: probably my 3rd consecutive day @ home~
• Fingers crossed PIG mum helps me up~
• Looking forward to having lunch with dearest dad @ home~
• Also fingers crossed David won't come gimme physio!
• Tina's minding me from like 2pm till 5pm; wonder how late she'll come this time? XD
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 311c

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! With a final, final plodding total of only 750, lemme cover final, final events for Saturday?

• After publishing the previous post, I kept watching Ninja Warrior! USA leads right now, but I'm hoping I'll finish watching tonight and Australia can win, because USA already won last year!
• Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. Alas, after only one week of in-person service new coronavirus cases have sprouted in Queensland again, meaning we're back to live streaming toms. 
• Kim was meant to come help me up toms morning @ 8:30am but apparently she's sick! >< Pao's coming instead and I'll take a morning shower @ 10am before watching ESS @ 11am.
• Doubt dad will take us out for a meal ... then toms will be my 2nd consecutive day @ home and I'll login my plodding total of only 750.
• Oh, I might watch Sunday arvo NRL; for once, I'm hoping the Warriors will beat the Bulldogs because if Canterbury wins, the Broncos will be wooden spooners! ><
• Right, back to watching Ninja Warrior now: hope everyone has a smashing Sunday toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good evening again! With a plodding total of only 750, just lemme note down Joni's devotional topic's 'Anthropomorphism' and continue tonight's events?

• When PIG mum tumbled down from her very long afternoon nap (which had stretched well into evening XD) dinner was reheated and I was summoned.
• After using the loo for one tinkle, I walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Score, the parents lemme use the spoon I skooted my chair over to get before lunch before dinner; August has been met TWENTY times!!! :D :D :D
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa lettuce, lotsa cauliflower, two small slices of BBQ chicken and two small pieces of scrambled egg.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup, after which I took my bowl over to the sink and then walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Going back and watching Ninja Warrior: Australia Vs. The World! Fingers crossed I can bbl following one last loo trip @ 9pm with the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms else wishing everyone a smashing Sunday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Since I've already logged in today's plodding total @ only 750, just lemme note down Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Faithful Until The Harvest' and cover potential final, final events for Saturday?

• Now @ 5:57 I've played one more game of Bejeweled lasting 6:19. That's today's quotas satisfied, and now I promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD Actually, I further promise not to play again until toms, because I've actually played one more memorable game lasting 7:51!
• Precisely two hours after I'd started online, I'd closed everything and, after using the loo for one more tinkle, sat and read for fifty more minutes because it's only Saturdays I get to spend a blessed three hours reading~ I reached pg. 150 @ 4:38pm and finished pg. 175 @ 5:06.
• Thanks to PIG mum who sliced some strawberries for me; they were really sweet!
• One more tinkle for me before I returned online. Suddenly I thought I heard dad's mobile ring and called out to him; dad was in the garden.
• Turns out First Aunty was trying to Facetime dearest dad! They're still talking now~
• At 6:15pm I visited the loo once more.
• Toms: alas, with ESS in-person meeting cancelled; we're back to Livestream. Pao's helping me up @ 8:30am; wonder if I can read for one hour before showering @ 10am and then watching ESS @ 11am?
• Also wonder will dearest take us out for lunch/dinner toms? If not, will login only 750 for plodding total again.
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner, else hope everyone has a smashing Sunday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 311

 Good afternoon! Firstly, my final, final plodding total for Friday's actually 7401 (but since the poor Broncos lost by two I'm hardly gonna blog about Friday night even though Friday's plodding total was actually my best for this year so far XD); secondly, today I've been hard @ work plodding only 750 steps (because obviously, I've not left the house today) and thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Be Content With Your Calling (1)'. Anyways, just briefly events for today?

• For my first game of Bejeweled ending @ 2:48, I lasted 5:47. Now, lemme play one more game lasting in between six and seven minutes, and I'll promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• Woo hoo, 22ND consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 6:50am~
• Hannah helped me up @ 10am. After brushing teeth (thanks to Hannah who squirted me some toothpaste), doing a stinky unspeakable and munching breakfast, I happily started my new book and happily read for seventy minutes first up, reaching page twenty-five @ 11:36am and then finishing page thirty-three @ 11:42am. 
• Used loo for one tinkle @ midday, enjoyed my second mug of white tea with two sugars and munched three of those Vita-sth bikkies, those healthy ones with fruit? Also chatted on the phone with Aunty Lai for 10:15~
• Showered @ 12:30pm - hairwash today. Also thanks to Hannah who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was one bowl of the fried rice dad had cooked for me this morning. Thanks to Hannah who tossed the rice through with like oyster sauce for me~
• Read until 1:55pm, used loo for two more tinkles, signed Hannah off and said my thanks and byes to her. She's back on Tuesday and taking me to the NAB~
• Toms: Kim's sick, the poor thing; Pao's helping me up @ 8:30am and staying with me till 11am. Will shower after breakfast because ESS has been cancelled again since there was more coronavirus cases! Perhaps expect another 750 step pissy plodding total?
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing Sunday!
