Saturday Post 318d

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

• After publishing the previous post, I continue preparing my competition entry for submission.
• 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. 
• Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. Would dearly love lunch out with other ESS people afterwards but prepared for just a Happy Meal with the parents. *sigh* But then dad had better take us out for dinner afterwards and gimme ONE bowl of rice! 
• Prepared also for a stressful arvo @ the hands of mother ... I seriously hate how she always times her nap so that when dearest dad gets back from badminton with his mates and arvo tea she's gleefully forcing me to do some stupid exercise for her, meaning she can show off to him how much power she's got over me and what a piece of sh*t I've become post disabling brain injury ... >< *sigh*
• Gotta go finish and submit my GCCW comp entry now; it's due by midnight tonight but PIG mum wants me to have it done by 9:45pm coz she wants to gleefully force poor Ela to do stupid exercises for her ... *sigh*
• Righteo, hope to see everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good evening! Firstly, I've already logged in Saturday's plodding total @ only 750; secondly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Lost In A Haunted Wood' and thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Sticks, Bricks And God'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• When the parents summoned me 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. 
• Score, the parents lemme use the spoon I had the foresight to skoot my chair over to get before lunch for dinner; what a perfect end to October: it's been satisfied TWENTY-TWO times!!! :D :D :D
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa some not very yummy Asian vegetable our neighbour gave mother, three thin slices of beef and one tiny chunk of chicken that dad demanded I eat first.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowlful of soup before I walk myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Back to preparing my GCCW entry for submission now! Fingers crossed I can bbl after one more loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening Sunday, else hope to see everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 318b

 Hey, where did this post go?? Grr. >< Just briefly

• Used loo once more after my most important two hours were up, and then sat and munched the yummy strawberries PIG mum had kindly sliced me for arvo tea.
• Read for another fifty minutes; it's only Saturdays I can spend a blessed three hours reading~ I reached pg. 400 @ 4:52pm! Also thanks to PIG mum who left me one yummy mug of peppermint tea to drink~
• Used loo once more, returned online and continued checking my GCCW competition entry.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 318

 Good afternoon! Firstly, I'm logging in today's plodding total @ only 750 (since I'm not leaving the house today) and secondly, TWFT topic's 'Hard Work - The Price Of Success". Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 7th consecutive awesome sleep last night! That's the 28TH time this year I've achieved one consecutive week of awesome sleeps!! :D :D Nature didn't call until 6:15am, and after one pot :P trip I spent the ten minutes till 6:25am beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• At 3:20pm 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 @ 3:30pm I've finished another game of Bejeweled lasting 6:58. 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 already played one more memorable game lasting 7:25! But I've only got just over thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Hannah came to help me up @ 10am. Pity dad wouldn't let her cook the bread yummy in the saucepan with butter for breakfast, but hey.
• Read for seventy-five minutes first up; reaching pg. 350 @ 10:48 and then finishing pg. 375 @ 12:02.
• Did a stinky unspeakable @ midday then rang and chatted with Aunty Lai for 11:45. Also munched three lemon crisp bikkies and drank my second mug of white tea~
• Showered @ 12:30pm - hairwash today. Also thanks to Hannah who rinsed out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted I headed outside, got myself a spoon for dinner and asked Hannah to please reheat my lunch for me. Only she couldn't find the keys for outside and then hailing started! o_O
• I used the loo once more for two tinkles before signing Hannah off with my thanks and byes; she's back next Tuesday.
• Read my Bible verses and then tootled online for myself.
• Once I've enjoyed my most important two hours of the day online I'll use the loo for one more tinkle, eat the yummy strawberries PIG mum has kindly sliced for me and read for another fifty minutes because it's only Saturdays I can spend a blessed three hours reading~
• Toms: just church, nothing special. Would love lunch out with other ESS people afterwards but that's not looking likely ... so maybe expect a super-pissy plodding total from me?
• Anyways, hopefully bbl else hopefully see everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 318c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for Friday! Em's final, final plodding total for tonight now stands @ 3845. Righteo, final, final events for Friday?

• After publishing the previous post I continue editing my GCCW competition entry. It's due toms night! Unsure why dad says I should submit by toms arvo @ the latest?
• At 9pm, I walk 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: expect a super-pissy plodding total from me, just 750 coz I'm staying @ home all day. Hannah's minding me from 10am till 2pm; will shower @ 12:30 because the Saturday arvo 4-6pm shift doesn't happen anymore.
• GCCW competition entry's due by toms midnight! Dad wants me to submit in the arvo; personally I'm more planning to submit it after dinner. XD But we'll see~
• Looking forward to my three big mugs of white tea with two sugars and fingers crossed for the chance to read Caesar for three hours! 
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 318b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 3763 (See? Told you I'd pass 3.5 grand! XD); secondly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Everyone Needs A Mentor' and thirdly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Reward And Punishment'. Righteo, just briefly, continuing tonight's events?

• At 7:30pm, I used the loo once, stuck a pad into my knickers (coz I'm hoping to achieve the 28TH time this year I've achieved one straight week of awesome sleeps!) and headed over to the gobbling :P table.
• Score, the parents lemme use the spoon I had the foresight to skoot my chair over to get when they took walkies together for dinner; October has been satisfied TWENTY-ONE times!!! :D :D :D
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy kailan, lotsa soup tomato, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup carrot and several yummy chunks of pork.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; I took my bowl over to the sink and returned online.
• Fingers crossed I can bbl shortly after 9pm following one last loo trip with my final, final plodding total for Friday, the final, final spam count for the week, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening Saturday, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 318

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3449 steps (meaning I'm certain I'll have cracked 3.5 grand before the night's out); secondly, TWFT topic's 'Saying The Right Thing' and thirdly, the spam count for the week's forty-nine. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 5:45am and after one pot :P trip I spent the ten minutes till 5:55am 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* Around the same time, the noisy garbage truck THUNDERED down our road and started tipping bins.
• At 5:46pm I've played one game of Bejeweled lasting 6:47. Now, lemme play one more lasting in between five and six minutes, and I'll promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• Now @ 6:13pm I've finished one more game of Bejeweled lasting 5:35. 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 7:05!
• Then I had an incredible snore and didn't wake for the pot :P again until dearest dad very considerately walked down the hallway silently and unpopped the lock leading into the hallway! Another pot :P trip for me then~
• After dearest dad retucked me back into bed and left for his hard day's work, I happily continue snoring, waking once more for the pot :P when 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 help me exceedingly slightly with nothing bar the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum comes back to help with nothing bar 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 when I realise I feel like doing a stinky unspeakable.
• Breakfast is one full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and the yummy custard bun Tina bought yesterday when she took me shopping yesterday. 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 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 climb into Kim's car and she tootles me off to the NAB for my final physio session for the year!
• Physio today: I hiked one more time around the Great Court! About 75% through, Mr. Jig-Air said sit down, I wanna check your ankle.
• NAB physio done for 2020, I use the loo once more for two tinkles and Kim tootles me home.
• So a nice warm shower for me - I wash and rinse my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most heavily sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was all done only after 10% but happily leaned fully against the right side rail and watered myself for anoth tinkle before calling Kim back.
• After I flipped the nice 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) and then mostly rekitted myself (thanks to Kim who kindly helped me with my bra strap, Erf's socks, Elf's AFO straps and both laces). Then I used the loo for one more tinkle, dried inside both ears, washed and dried Era and then walked myself slowly and safely back outside, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Lunch was one yummy tuna with tomato and onion toastie with one slice of cheese, washed down with one mug of green tea. PIG mum only cut the toastie into two rectangles and poured tea for me coz Kim was around to see her do it; whenever there's only her and me I'm always the one to do it. XD
• Lunch finished, I walk myself slowly and safely online and noted down what I did for physio today, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• After PIG mum signed Kim off (she's not back till next Friday 4-6pm), I climbed into the 4WD and she tootled me off to see Aunty Ann for a comfy massage.
• I enjoyed Aunty Ann's firm ministrations and PIG mum enjoyed the chance to yap unceasingly @ Aunty Ann. Seriously, for someone who's always 'claiming' that she's a 'quiet' person, I've never seen someone yap as much as PIG mum does; she's so eager that sometimes she repeats the same word three, four or even five times! XD
• For some reason, PIG mum refused to lift the toilet lid for me, hence why I skipped the mug of water and said my thanks and byes to Aunty Ann.
• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walk myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• For arvo tea, I had to let PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela to feed me one plate of sliced strawberries. I didn't really mind, since I was seated and could concentrate. Besides, Ela finished before dearest dad got home and went walkies with PIG mum, meaning she didn't get to show off how much power she's got over me, ha.
• Before popping online, I used the loo for one more tinkle.
• Toms: will prolly login plodding total @ only 750 since I'll prolly stay @ home all day. Hannah's minding me from 10am till 2pm; will shower @ 12:30pm since nobody does the 4-6pm shift anymore. Looking forward to my three big mugs of white tea and fingers crossed for the chance to read for three hours toms! Oh, and GCCW competition entry's due toms night!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl after dinner, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 318

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3440 steps and secondly, TWFT topic's 'The Higher Things!' Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 5th 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*
• At 5:30pm I've played one game of Bejeweled lasting 5:07. Now, lemme play one more game lasting between six and seven minutes, and I'll promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• Nature calls again one hour later; after another pot :P trip I'm about to continue my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel when amazingly, Tina arrives five minutes early!! 
• Only she doesn't seem to know how to count fifteen more minutes; today she came back early again! I waved her away with Spotty; luckily she left since Spotty's not a teddy and you can't possibly give anyone the Bear Bum with a pyjama top! XD
• When Tina came back, I gave her step-by-step instructions on how to get me kitted. That done, I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Thanks to Tina who squirts me some toothpaste; Ela enjoys her first break this week~
• Right, will let myself off from playing one more game of Bejeweled lasting between six and seven minutes, promise not to play again until toms and still willingly hit the sack tonight but I've somehow managed to have already played one game of Bejeweled lasting more than seven minutes and THREE lasting more than eight! But just super-quickly, coz I've almost exceeded the PISSY two hours of net time that PIG mum so gleefully restricts me to:
• Had breakfast (Weet-Bix), did a stinky unspeakable and hit Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown with Tina!
• Read Lian Hearn's Lord Of The Darkwood for about one hour, reaching pg. twenty-five @ 10:32am.
• Bought raisin toast from ALDI for dearest dad, went upstairs and bought groceries from Coles, came back downstairs and waited with the trolley while Tina ducked into New York Baguette and bought me one sausage bun and one custard bun then finished with shopping @ Woolies. We'd just entered when the older Woolies female staff member that recognises me saw us and screeched, "She's JUST gone on lunch break!" I laugh and reply hopefully she'll have returned by the time we go through the self-serve checkout and I was right. XD While Tina scans my items, Caitlin and I chat~
• Met the Lungs for lunch @ Woka Warrigal~
• Came home and showered - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sing 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, since Tina stays after I call her back to please gimme some facewash and holds the showerhead over my back, I'm actually all done after 10%, but happily lean fully against the right side rail and water myself for another tinkle before flipping the nice warm water off and calling for Tina.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted I head outside and turn the computer on, while Tina goes back to clean the bathroom.
• Let PIG mum nab half my yummy sausage bun for arvo tea~
• Read daily Bible passages and then tootle online.
• Tonight's ice cream night; yay for that! Like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Toms: Hannah's driving me for my final UQ physio session for the year, hurrah! It's also Fun Shirt Friday; have asked PIG mum to please find my Hawaiian shirt for me.
• She'll see me home, showered and fed with lunch before she leaves @ 2pm.
• Seeing Aunty Ann for a comfy massage around 2pm; bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ her. XD
• Will prolly haveta let PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela feed me some fruit for arvo tea. *sigh*
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner, else wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 318c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 3177. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy broccoli, lotsa lettuce and a bit of yummy tomato mince.
• Dinner's spooned down with one bowl of soup; finished drinking, I take my bowl over to the sink and walk myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• At 9pm, I walk myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Toms: Tina's coming @ 8am to help me up and take me shopping! Wonder how late she'll arrive toms? XD
• Looking forward to sharing lunch with Pastors Chris and Grace @ Woka Warrigal around 1pm~
• Then best of all, it's ice cream night toms night! Like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Righteo, hope everyone's having a smashing week!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 318b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 3094 (ha, I'm over three grand XD); secondly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Who's It For?" and thirdly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Intentional God'. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• I had one tinkle before Hannah flipped the nice warm water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Hannah rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was helping with Erf's sock and one last one when she was giving Wally back to Ela.
• Back outside, PIG mum fed me one BBQ chicken toastie with sweetcorn and mayo for lunch. Alas she was mean and wouldn't gimme one slice of cheese with it, but hey.
• Lunch was washed down with one mug of Chinese tea, after which I popped online and recorded down what I did for physio today. Originally I was pissed, because today marked the 100TH session of blasted physio I'd endured since starting @ the very beginning of the first week of the year. Only isn't Monique sweet? She noticed I wasn't my usual cheery self and asked me what was wrong. When I told her, she next asked me what would make me feel better? When I laughed, said chocolate but reminded her I had a nut allergy, she actually went somewhere, found and fed me a mini Freddo frog! Should e-mail her and say thanks~
• About ten minutes after I signed Hannah off with my thanks and byes (she's back Saturday 10am till 2pm) PIG mum tootled me off to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Of course, she gleefully forced me to buckle my own seatbelt both trips and she also lemme listen to 97.3FM both ways. Era helped Ela stretch for fifteen minutes before Ela opened and closed her palm 100 times, holding each for a count of five. Era also helped rub Ela's fingers for about three minutes.
• At Ray's, I used the loo for one tinkle and then lay down for some acupuncture and massage. PIG mum was in her element, yapping ceaselessly @ Ray; my grateful thanks to him who always replied and kept a conversation flowing. I think it's hilarious; PIG mum continually insists that she's a 'quiet' person but whenever she gets the chance to yap she takes the chance so happily she'll even repeat the same word three, Four and even FIVE times! XD
• Now @ 8:50pm I've played one more game of Bejeweled lasting 5:21. 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, coz I've actually already played two more memorable games, one lasting 7:20 and the other 7:26!
• After visiting the bathroom, PIG mum tootles us home. She rushes out to save all the day's washing before the storm hits, and then I haveta let her gleefully force poor Ela to feed me some sliced banana, before I drink one mug of green tea, use the loo for one tinkle, read my daily Bible passages and then tootle online for myself.
• From 5:30pm till 6:30pm I join online choir rehearsal. Once that's over, I use the loo for one tinkle and then sit @ the gobbling :P table to await the parents reheating dinner. Whilst doing so, I read Caesar for awhile and reach pg. 350 @ like 7:22pm!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 318

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2841 steps and secondly, TWFT topic's 'Pray Your Alphabet'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until PIG mum awoke me with her usual a-THUMPING around upstairs; she actually came to hit me with the eye goo while I was still over the pot. PIG mum then helped me exceedingly slightly with not only the bra strap but the tee since dearest dad was still @ home before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first. Whilst doing so, I spend ten minutes 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*
• PIG mum comes back to help with nothing bar Elf's AFO 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 to 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*
• At 4:52pm I've played one game of Bejeweled lasting 6:29. Now, lemme finish one more lasting in between five and six minutes, and I'll promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• After getting myself a spoon, breakfast was three dry (no honey) Weet-Bix with lotsa sliced strawberries, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. 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!

• Hannah arrived and drove me to the NAB for physio. I was pissed today coz today was my 100TH session. >< 
• Physio today: 100 single leg pushups for Elf on Tower of Power, forty sit-to-stands with weightshifting and three rounds standing using the blaze pods. Monique was a sweetheart; when I groused @ her I was grumpy coz today was my 100TH session of physio, she asked what would make me feel better? I joked "Chocolate?" Monique laughed with me; and then she went somewhere and really found me this mini Freddo frog that she even fed me since I was standing doing the blaze pods exercise!
• After using the loo for one tinkle, Hannah tootled me home and I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Hannah who rinsed my hair out for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 317b

 Heylo again, good evening and probably one final greeting for Tuesday! Firstly, Em's probable final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 3352; secondly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Choosing Hope' and thirdly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Marking Off The Miles'. Righteo, probable final, final events for tonight?

• After I'd enjoyed my most important two hours of the day online I asked PIG mum could I please eat my sushi roll for afternoon tea? She answers yes, so I head over to the gobbling :P table and munch it. I also happily read Caesar for about one before playing Farm Heroes. 
• Suddenly Elsa rings! How come our Toastmasters president's ringing me, a pleb? Turns out the meeting has been cancelled because of incoming bad weather!
• But Kim's already arrived ... PIG mum gets her inside and eventually decides we can go to Sunnybank Plaza to buy a box of tissues from Coles and then to have dinner @ Cafe Cafe (formerly Cafe Mi!) I'm like score because that means I'm gonna get two HK-style milk teas this week! XD
• At Sunnybank Plaza, Kim parks underneath, we take the escalator, Kim checks ... and Cafe Cafe has already closed! o_O Luckily I'm pretty sure Sunnybank Oriental's open; I tell Kim hopefully Sunnybank Oriental's open; let's check after we buy the box of tissues from Coles first?
• Kim says okay; we head down to Coles and buy the bokes of tissues first. For future reference, tissue boxes are located in the second last aisle of the store.
• Tissues bought, we head outside to Sunnybank Oriental next and sweet it's open.
• I have the A meal (beef an vegies with rice) with a cold HK-style milk tea and Kim has the B meal (soupy ho fan with chicken) with a hot HK-style milk tea, which she adds like two sugars in.
• Sunnybank Oriental closes very early now? Kim paid, I hiked all the way back to the car and she tootles me home.
• I turn off the alarm, use the loo for one more tinkle and return online. Kim massages Ela until 9:25pm and then gets dad to sign her off. She's back Friday and taking me to physio.
• Toms: PIG mum'll help me up coz Hannah's coming @ 8:15am and driving me to the NAB for my big two hour physio session. I'll prolly be grumpy coz it's the 100TH session of physio I've endured for the year. >< *sigh*
• She'll see me home and showered before leaving @ 1pm/2pm; PIG mum will take me to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage afterwards. Bet she's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him. XD
• Will prolly haveta let PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela to feed me some fruit for arvo tea. *sigh*
• Then I'm joining choir rehearsal from 5:30pm till 6:30pm~
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 317

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1856 steps and secondly, TWFT topic's 'Learning From Moses (4)'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:35am, and after one pot :P trip I fell back asleep right away coz I knew dearest dad would leave for work @ 7:45am!
• Success; one hour later, dearest dad considerately walked silently along the hallway to unpop the lock leading into the garage. That was my wakeup call to use the pot :P again, after which I spend ten minutes 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 2:18pm I've played one game of Bejeweled lasting 6:59. Now, lemme finish one more game lasting between five and six minutes, and I'll promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• After dearest dad kissed me bye, retucked me into bed and left for his hard day's work, I fall back asleep for about another hour, waking once more for the pot :P shortly before mother begins her daily A-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo, saying that Hannah should arrive @ 9am. Whilst waiting for her arrival,  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*
• When Hannah arrived, PIG mum let her in. Hannah's smart, she knocked on the door, stuck her head in, bid me good morning and offered me, "Fifteen more minutes?" I waved Spotty @ her; she understood that meant 'yes, shoo' and left. XD
• Now @ 3:16pm I've finished one more game of Bejeweled lasting 5:37. 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, coz I've actually already played one more memorable game lasting 7:29!
• When Hannah came back, she got me kitted and then I headed over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Thanks to Hannah who squirted some toothpaste out for me; Ela enjoyed her first break this week~
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for two more tinkles before heading out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast, which was three plain (no honey) Weet-Bix with sliced strawberries, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water.
• After breakfast, I visited the loo again. This time, I 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!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into Hannah's tank and she tootles us off to Underwood Marketplace. Lol, she didn't know I was meant to walk for forty minutes until I asked her had she set the timer?
• Forty minutes plodded, I stop to buy myself a sushi roll for arvo tea and then take a seat coz Hannah decides she wants a chicken kebab for lunch.
• Back home, I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Hannah who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing me to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• I had one tinkle before Hannah flips the nice hot water off, get dried and have another tinkle when Hannah realises silly PIG mum forgot to gimme any socks and returns to my room to find me a pair. After getting creamed, Hannah rekits me; I have one more tinkle when I realise the sock she got for Elf's too short to cover the AFO and one last tinkle when Hannah's washing my glasses for me.
• Back outside, Hannah reheated me some rice leftovers for lunch while I rang dearest dad, since I'd forgotten to ring him when I arrived home before showering. Thanks also to Hannah who lemme drink one big mug of white tea with two sugars~
• After Hannah washed up my lunch bowl, spoon and cup, she walked behind me back to the computer. By the time I'd booted the thing up, 'twas time to sign her off with my thanks and byes. She's back bright and early toms @ 8:15am!
• Kim's coming @ 5:30pm and taking me to Toastmasters; it's competition night and while I'm not competing this year, I'm the warm-up master!
• Looking forward to buying my Happy Meal for dinner afterwards; never mind that Happy Meals were what I ate surely MORE THAN two DECADES ago ... *sigh*
• Toms: super-early start coz it's my big two-hour session @ the NAB! PIG mum will help me up because Hannah's coming @ 8:15am and driving me to the NAB for 9am~
• She'll see me home and showered. Presuming she'll have lunch with me also before leaving @ 1/2pm.
• Seeing Ray for some acupuncture/massage @ 2pm; bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap @ him. XD
• Then I've got choir rehearsal from 5:30pm till 6:30pm.
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 317g

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

• After publishing the previous post, I spent the next twenty minutes reading through/editing my GCCW competition entry. Alison's just sent everyone all the documents for formatting before submission and the entry forms; must remember to save them onto this computer after I publish this post.
• 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. 
• Toms: hope PIG mum helps me up...
• Can't remember what time Hannah's coming to take me for my forty minute plod around Underwood Marketplace.
• Will get home, shower, have lunch, read my daily Bible verses and then tootle online for myself coz Davina's found Kim to take me to Toastmasters toms night!
• Fingers crossed PIG mum will lemme buy some Maccas home for dinner, never mind that Happy Meals were what I ate surely MORE THAN TWO DECADES ago!! *sigh*
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Tee hee tonight I've managed SEVEN posts! That's what ... maybe the 38TH time it's ever happened! XD

Monday Post 317f

 Good evening again! Since I've already noted down everything I usually down for a day's post, lemme just continue with tonight's events?

• When the parents summoned me for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely to the gpobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Phew, the parents lemme use the spoon I had the foresight to skoot my armchair over to get before arvo tea for dinner, sweet~ Rice tonight, with lotsa yummy broccoli, lotsa sweet carrot, lotsa lettuce, a bit of PIG mum's yummy tomato and onion beef mince and three tiny lil dips of the tasty smoky cheese I'd chosen from our recent trip.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup after which I read for another thirty minutes, coz I like spending one hour reading everyday where possible. Tonight I rfinishhed pg. 325 @ 8:10!
• Reading done, 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. 
• Back to preparing my GCCW competition entry for submission. Fingers crossed I can bbl following one last loo trip with my final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms, else wishing everyone a smashing Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Tee hee, tonight I've already managed SIX posts! That's even rarer than five! XD

 Good evening! Firstly, I've already logged in Monday's plodding total @ 1695; secondly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Prayers On La Playa' and thirdly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Hardship That Hangs On'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• At 5:50pm I'd tuned into Nine Now to await Nine's 6pm news bulletin only @ 5:55pm connection cut! I called upstairs to PIG mum; thanks to her who came downstairs and turned the television on for me.
• Yay, tonight was the 120.5TH time I've watched the news! :D All the things I usually record (interesting surnames, etc.): 
• After the news, 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. 
• Dearest dad's just arrived home. He's reheating dinner for us now, so fingers crossed I can bbl afterwards, else hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. I've not even had dinner yet but already managed FIVE posts, tee hee! XD

Monday Post 317d

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

• After washing and drying both hands, I head out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast, where I butter and jam myself a toasted sandwich. I also pop all my usual drugs :P and drink one full mug of water.
• Breakfast finished, I walk myself slowly and safely to the loo, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I walk myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. I read my daily Bible passages and then tootle online for myself.
• Today, dearest dad arrives home and has lunch early before leaving again. Come 12:30pm, I ask PIG mum lunchtime yet? When she says yes, I grab myself a spoon before tucking into a bowl of Campbell's Cream Of Chicken soup with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast for lunch.
• I vaguely recall drinking one mug of green tea with lunch ... anyways, lunch finished I take my bowl over to the sink and then walk myself slowly and safely back online,again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Tina arrives precisely on time, soon followed by David. Physio today: ten minutes treadmill walking 0.8km/hr, 100 reaches for Ela, fifty squats, opening Ela touching fingerpads with thumb.(Finger opposition for index and middle fingers)
• Took a nice warm shower after David left - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song softly, slowly but most hatefully out aloud. Actually, just like yesterday, I was all done after only 12%, because Tina kindly held the showerhead over my back after I called her back to please gimme some facewash but I happily leaned fully against the right side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling Tina back.
• After I flipped the nice hot water off, I 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, Tina sliced me one big bowlful of strawberries for arvo tea; I also drank one little mug of Chinese tea. Only had time to read for thirty minutes though; will hopefully read for another thirty after dinner.
• Before Tina left I used the loo once more for two tinkles. Tina's back Thursday and taking me shopping!
• Think Hannah's taking me back to Underwood Marketplace for another forty-minute walk? She'll see me showered and fed with lunch before leaving, and then @ 5:30pm Kim's coming back and taking me to Toastmasters! She's been on holidays for ages; hope Mr. Do's dad's all better now!
• Fingers crossed PIG mum will lemme buy some dinner back from Maccas; never mind that Happy Meals were what I ate surelky MORE THAN TWO DECADES ago!! *sigh*
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner, else hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 317c

 Good afternoon! Haven't plodded the treadmill with David yet, so just continuing events for Monday?

• Sleep wouldn't return, hence when dearest dad came to kiss me bye before leaving for his hard day's work I used the pot again for one tinkle and then I spend ten minutes 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 @ 1:32pm I've played one more game of Bejeweled lasting 6:54. 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, coz I've already also played one more memorable game lasting 8:47!
• After dearest dad returned to work (today was his first day back after taking his annual leave) sleep again eluded me, but I used the pot :P once more around 9am.
• After PIG mum a-THUMPED around upstairs, she stomped downstairs to hit me with the eye goo and help 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. Whilst doing so,  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*
• PIG mum comes back to help with nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk to the bathroom to brush teeth (poor Ela). Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for two tinkles and call out for PIG mum to please rip off the pull-up pants for me.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 317b

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, I'll not login any plodding total yet coz I've not plodded the treadmill for David yet and secondly, TWFT topic's 'Learning From Moses (3)' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-SIX MINUTES online after lunch!! Anyways, events for today?

• For my first game of Bejeweled ending @ 11:57am I lasted 5:43. Now, lemme play one more game lasting in between six and seven minutes, and I'll promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• Yay, 2nd consecxutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:55am, and after one pot :P trip I tried falling back asleep right away, because now that's it's not Winter anymore, the days are longer and dearest dad would prolly leave for work @ like 7:45am again!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 317b

 Heylo again, good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 4173 (nice, I'm over four grand; that doesn't happen too often!); secondly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Strong And Courageous' ; thirdly, Joni's devotional topic's 'A Message From Michaelangelo' and fourthly, the final, final spam count for the weekend's now thirteen. But just quickly noting down that I suffered a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum, showered, missed the grand final kickoff by five minutes, wolfed down dinner @ halftime and then cheered Melbourne onto victory! Toms I'm prolly just staying @ home all day unless PIG mum promises she'll be @ home when Tina and I get back from grocery shopping @ Woolies coz I don't feel like turning the alarm off. David's prolly coming to gimme a session of physio too; will ask him and then e-mail Jo and ask can she send the OT instead of him for the rest of the year. Hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Sunday Post 317

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3389 steps; secondly, TWFT topic's 'Learning From Moses (2)' and thirdly, the spam count for the weekend's twelve. Anyways, events for today?

• For my first game of Bejeweled ending @ 4:15pm, I lasted 5:33. Now, lemme play one more game lasting in between six and seven minutes, and I promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• Now @ 4:28pm I've finished another game lasting 6:18. That's today's quotas satisfied, and now I promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 5:55am and after one pot :P trip I I spend ten minutes 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*
• I happily snore until PIG mum's daily a-THUMPING around upstairs wakes me for another pot :P trip. Shortly afterwards she lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first. 
• PIG mum comes back to help with nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces; after that's done I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth (poor Ela).

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 the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• After getting myself a spoon, breakfast is two/three plain (no honey) Weet-Bix with one full mug of water and all my usual drugs. :P
• 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 minutes finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel.

See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I head outta the bathroom, calling to mother should I get into the 4WD yet? Since she doesn't reply and I sit on my bed instead and wait.
• When PIG mum's finally ready, dearest dad walks with me to the 4WD and PIG mum tootles us to church. I use the normal ladies loo once on arrival because the disabled loo has a closed toilet seat lid and PIG mum refused to lift it for me; luckily, the second toilet loo lid in the normal ladies loo was lifted up!
• For Bible Study today, we studied Mark 14:26-52. Three students were present and another three joined through videolink.
• Once that finished, I used the loo for another tinkle and then hauled myself upstairs for service, grabbing my usual seat.
• Sweet, I stayed seated for worship today. I sang everything, plus the harmony for two songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Pastor Chris; he started a new sermon series entitled The Salvation Project.
• After communion, Fiona helped me downstairs, I used the loo once and then sat outside behind -bbl!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 317c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 1186. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post I continued editing my GCCW competition entry. Exactly one week until it's due!
• 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: just church, definitely nothing special. Actually, the special thing's that we're having community lunch afterwards! I've already placed my order with Fiona Mok; please include me for the buy several meals from the same store get some discount!
• Not looking forward to a stressful arvo @ the hands of mother ... *sigh*
• Oh, and it's the NRL grand final toms! I thought kickoff was in the late arvo sometime but apparently it's not till the evening? Personally I'm hoping the Storm wins; that way, Cameron Smith can retire immediately and end his career on the highest note possible!
• Righteo, hope to see everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 317b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 1173 (See? Told you I'd pass one grand! XD); secondly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Surviving Drought' and thirdly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Hope And A Future'. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• Precisely two hours after I'd happily gone online for myself, I'd logged outta everything and, after using the loo for one more tinkle, sat @ the gobbling :P table and enjoyed the seven strawberries dearest dad had kindly washed for me. Thanks also to PIG mum who left me one mug of yummy peppermint tea.
• Then I stayed seated @ the table and read all the way until dinnertime! Saturday's the only chance I get to sped a blessed three hours reading but because today I had lunch with all the other book club ladies I'd only read for one hour and five minutes! By the time the parents called dinner, I  was still fifteen minutes shy of the three hour mark, but decided to read for fifteen more minutes after dinner.
• Sweet; the parents lemme use the spoon I had the foresight to skoot my chair over to get after taking a shower; October's been satisfied SEVENTEEN times!! :D Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa little tong vegetable, lotsa some other vegetable (maybe lettuce?) some coral trout and a few slices of yummy if tasteless soup chicken.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup, after which I read for fifteen more minutes. Yay, reading for three hours today achieved~ Think I've just reached the climax: the elephant has just killed the ringmaster and the owner has just committed suicide!!
• After using the loo for one tinkle (I'd not used it before dinner, remember), I walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Righteo, fingers crossed I can bbl after one more loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for Saturday, the final, final events for Saturday plus what's happening Sunday, else hope to see everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 317

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding only 958 steps (so hopefully I'll have cracked 1000 before the night's out) and secondly, TWFT topic's 'Learning From Moses (1)'. Anyways, events for today?

• I used the pot :P once last night @ 12:25am and again around 6:30am, before spending ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• At 3:47pm I've played one game of Bejeweled lasting 5:15. Now, lemme finish one more game lasting between six and seven minutes, and I'll promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• Mother got Nikkie to come mind me from 8am today, coz she was dropping me off @ the Rose cafe for Anna's birthday lunch @ midday! Before she arrived, 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*

•  Now @ 3:58pm I've played one more game of Bejeweled lasting 6:51. That's today's quotas satisfied, and now I promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD

• When Anna arrived, I enjoyed my fifteen more minutes, told Nikkie how to get me kitted for the day and then we went over to the bathroom where I brushed teeth. Thanks to Nikki who squirted me out some toothpaste; Ela enjoyed her only break this week.
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo and 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 headed out to the gobbling :P table; Nikkie has cooked some yummy ham and eggs for me! I also enjoy my first mug of white tea with two sugars, and happily read for one hour and five minutes, reaching page 375 and 10:28am and finishing page 400 @ 11:23am!
• Actually, today I showered early because I was going out for lunch with all the other book club ladies! Hairwash today; also thanks to Nikkie who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. I just don't like how after I've finished showering she moves the showerchair before helping me get dried, creamed and rekitted; I've told her before to find a good spot before I take my footwear off!
• That all done, I head back outside, where I persuade Nikkie to make me *two* more big mugs of white tea with two sugars and she also finds me two Tim Tams to munch, sweet~ Unfortunately, she refuses to very gently massage Ela for any longer, preferring instead to poke @ her smartphone; in that case, I let Ela down from the table and back into my lap~
• Happily I read Water For Elephants before it's time to leave. I use the loo once more for two tinkles and then sit on my bed since Nikkie still isn't ready to leave yet. XD Actually, the garage door suddenly malfunctions and won't open! I ring dearest dad and tell him about this problem; dad says just leave through the front door.
• Now @ 4:52pm I've played one more game of Bejeweled lasting 8:53; right, promise I'll not play again until toms. XD But I've only got about twenty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Nikkie tootled me off to the Rose Cafe for Anna's birthday lunch! Aren't the ladies thoughtful: they left me the most left seat~
• I had the ham, cheese and shallot crepe with a small bowl of chips because PIG mum was stingy and found out that chips was cheaper than no chips with thichshake. XD Thanks to Delia who ordered and cut up my meal for me~
• Personally I thought the cake was delicious but some reckoned it too creamy?
• Only when people started leaving, BANG the heavens opened!! We laughed, stayed seated and chatted while waiting for the rain to abate.
• Alas it didn't really; in the end, Dianne equipped with umbrella opened the passenger car door for me and Erika helped me to the car.
• Back home I used the loo for one tinkle and then plopped online.
• Will go eat strawberries for arvo tea once I've finished my most important two hours of the day. Think PIG mum said she left me one mug of peppermint tea also?
• Toms: just church, nothing special. Actually, the special thing's that we're having community lunch afterwards; I've already placed my order with Fiona Mok!
• Oh, the other exciting thing: toms arvo/ night's the NRL grand final! I'm cheering for the Storm; hopefully Melbourne can win and Cameron Smith can retire a champion!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl else hoping to see everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 317c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 3610 and secondly, the final, final spam count for the week's now twenty. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• At 9pm, I walk myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Toms: expect a super-pissy plodding total from me, because although I'm going out, I'm not going far! Nikky's coming to help me up @ 8am; will shower after having breakfast coz Nikki's taking me to the iRose Cafe to meet all the other book club ladies for lunch; we're celebrating Anna's 80TH! I've already bought her a cheeky birthday card; originally I was planning to write inside it for Anna toms morning but PIG mum just brought it over and demanded I write it now; no biggie. Have already complied. Just peeved because even though I've chosen basically the cheapest lunch there is (PIG mum ordered I choose a lunch special) she was mean and wouldn't lemme buy any chips. When I groused that she'd better lemme buy a drink she surprisingly agrees; she'd better have left me with enough money for a chocolate thickshake then, huh! >< *sigh*
• Perhaps I'll get some reading done toms arvo?
• Oh! Will try to remember ice cream tonight coz I forgot last night and PIG mum says I can make up for it tonight instead, phew.
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 317b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 3532 (ha, I'm just over 3.6 grand XD); secondly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Nice Shot?' and thirdly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Long-Suffering'. Righteo, just briefly, continuing events for Friday?

• PIG mum helped me up, I had breakfast and then Pao drove me to UQ for NAB physio with  Tylor:
• Physio today: Sonia assessed my neck and back, then I lay down for her, Tylor and Mr. Jig-Air to assess Elf. One 10m walk test. Sonia seems confident I've not seriously injured myself from the tumble I took two days ago, while Mr. Jig-Air said the DOMS should feel better after this weekend.
• Saw Aunty Ann for a massage. In light of the fall I suffered two days ago, my back HURT! ><
• Got home, munched a yummy banana for arvo tea, used loo for one tinkle, read my daily Bible passages and then tootled online.
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa lettuce, lotsa little tong vegetable, a few slices of chicken and one Chinese mushroom.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Fingers crossed I can bbl after one more 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. ^^

Friday Post 317

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3236 steps; secondly, TWFT topic's 'Leave Judging To The Judge (2)' and thirdly, the spam count for the week's sixteen. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 5:45am (my favourite thing about the warmer month's probably that the Sun rises much earlier!) and after one pot :P trip I spend the ten minutes till 5:55am 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* Oh, the noisy garbage truck also THUNDERS down our road and starts tipping bins~
• At 5:59pm I've played one game of Bejeweled lasting 6:25. Now, lemme play one more lasting between five and six minutes, and I'll promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• Now @ 7:09pm 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 for my very first game I already lasted 7:29!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• After publishing the previous post I continued editing my GCCW competition entry.
• At 9pm, I walk myself slowly and safely once 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 say every week, a very little's better than none @ all!

Thursday Post 317b

 Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for Thursday! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 1762 (see? Told you I'd pass 1.5 grand!) and secondly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Laundry Day'. Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• Unfortunately, that means I miss out on help with the help I get for getting kitted and poor Ela also misses out on her first break of not having to let PIG mum gleefully force her to hold the toothbrush, but hey. Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for only one tinkle, coming out when I realise I feel like doing a stinky unspeakable.
• Oh, Joni's devotional topic's 'This Is Why He Came'.
• Now @ 6:45pm I've played one more game of Bejeweled lasting 7:22. Right, promise I'll not play again until toms. XD But have used up all my time, so just super-briefly:
• Got myself a spoon for breakfast, did a stinky unspeakable and dad tootled me off to Stan's place for our monthly get-together! 
• Only five gathered today; we had a great morning together munching nibblies and sharing stories~ Thanks also to Jane (Stan's wife) who helped me once to the loo @ 12:30pm; I managed fine by myself. Did I say last month? Jan explained the rail was installed for her mother back when she was staying with her and Stan.
• Lol, dad found Uncle Alan to take me to Woka Warrigal to meet the Lungs for lunch! During the drive, I learnt that Uncle Alan's a consultant of some sort and Michelle's studying physio @ Griffith!
• Another lol: before leaving me seated @ Woka Warrigal, Uncle Alan snapped a photo of me to Whatsapp to dearest dad; proof that he'd deposited me safely @ Woka Warrigal.
• Third lol: Pastors Chris and Grace stayed with me for lunch from 1:10pm till 2:06pm; guess I'm not interesting company enough for one hour. XD The restaurant closes @ 2pm; when the parents finally arrived to take me home I apologised to Nick (the head waiter dude) for preventing him from shutting shop; he waved his arm airily and replied sth like, "No biggie; we're friends!" XD
• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle, read my daily Bible passages and then popped online for myself.
• Hannah minded me from 4:30pm till 6pm; I thought her shift was two hours but she begged off saying she needed to walk Rusty.
• Parents both came home; PIG mum fed me a Telfast tablet because my idiot nose started going off @ lunch but still hadn't stopped.
• Tonight's ice cream night, yay! Like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Toms: not sure who's taking me to the NAB for physio and seeing me home and showered before leaving @ 1pm/2pm?
• I'm looking forward to seeing Aunty Ann for a comfy massage; bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap @ her. XD
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner, else wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 317

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1447 steps (meaning I'm certain I'll have cracked 1.5 frand before the day's out XD) and secondly, TWFT topic's 'Leave Judging To The Judge (1)' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm still owed FORTY MINUTES online after Hannah minds me for two hours!! Anyways, events for today?

• For my first game of Bejeweled ending @ 3:44pm, I lasted 5:32. Now, lemme play one more game lasting between six and seven minutes, and I'll promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• Now @ 4:07pm I've played one more game of Bejeweled lasting 6:02. That's today's quotas satisfied, and now I promise to willingly hit the sack tonight.
• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:45am and after one pot :P trip I spent the ten minutes until 7:45am 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*
• I happily snore for about another hour; the ringing phone waking me for another pot :P trip. While I'm still relieving myself, PIG mum lets herself into my room to inform me that Tina's called in sick, that CODA can't find anyone to take me to Stan's but will keep looking and that she's got dearest dad to drive me to Stan's place instead.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
