Tuesday Post 357b

 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 352 ateps (because obviously, I've not left the house yet); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Gain Of Serving God' and thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Always Be Honest' but fourthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owedFIFTY-EIGHT MINUTES online when I get home from physio this arvo!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Natuew didn't call until 6:20am, and after one pot :P trip 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, not fully waking until dearest dad comes to kiss me bye and retuck me back into bed before leaving for his hard day's work. Before he's left, I use the pot :P once more.
• Another hour of snoring follows; noisy PIG mum's daily a-THUMPING around upstairs my wakeup call to use the pot :P once more. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with the tops before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 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 1574 steps (ha, I'm just over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Something To Boast About' and thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Keep Persevering'  but fourthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and FIFTY MINUTES online after Alyssa comes and makes dumplings with me!!

Sunday Post 357b

 Heylo again, good evening and probably one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's probable final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3755; secondly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Worth It, Or Worthy?'; thirdly, Joni's devotional topic's '

memories' and fourthly, the final, final spam count for the weekend's now twelve. Righteo, probable final, final events for tonight?

- Precisely two hours after I started online, I got off the computer and headed to the gobbling :P table, asking PIG mum could she please gimme some arvo tea? I was planning to read for one hour, see. Thanks to her who came downstairs, passed me one yummy banana, one gloopy mouthful of passionfruit and one lil mug of green tea.

I happily read for almost one hour, reaching page seventy-five @ exactly 4pm!

- Unfortunately, with seven minutes left to read, PIG mum tumbled downstairs from pigland; I had to let her immediately and gleefully FORCE :( me to walk outside and let her gleefully force mostly poor Ela to take down the day's washing; argh, I HATES standing practice! >< Even worse, clumsy Ela dropped two pegs and I had to let PIG mum gleefully force me to bend to the ground twice to pick them up. *sigh*

-Back inside, before showering, I sat down; PIG mum fed me four lil MSG crackers and one mouthful of water/

-Then I took a nice hot shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 24% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.

- After I flipped the nice hot water off and PIG mum dried my back and the back of the chair, I did everything else. PIG mum helped only with the bra strap, Elf's AFO straps and both laces.

- After drying the loo seat, I sat for one tinkle, drying inside both ears and washing and drying Era, I returned online.

- Sweet I got to watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 75TH time! All the interesting surnames I saw: Heinke, Gyte, Cryer, Fernandez, Weimar, Kramer, Palaszczuk, Greer, Genovese, Alphonse (first name), Bellegarde, Trudeau (heard), Baumgart, Schrinner, Dobbin, Holbrook (heard), Brimson (heard), Grteen (heard), Gifita (heard), Saifiti (heard), Croucher, ,Thorn (heard), Rankine, Hayes and Ponga. Garry Youngberry read the weather report. Brisbane was 12-21 today. Mt. Gravatt toms: 9-22. Sunrise 6:29am sunset 5:03pm

-Used the loo for one more tinkle and then had dinner with the parents out @ Dong Fong/Sunnybank Oriental. Had about one bowl of rice, 1.25 bowls of congee, half the set soup, one cup of Chinese tea and half the warm Horlicks.

- Dad tootled us home, I used the loo for one more tinkle and then returned online.

Toms: PIG mum should help me up since Alyssa's coming over to make dumplings with me!

- May haveta get a blood test toms arvo ... my poor wimpy veins are already wailing with fear ... ><" XD

Tina's minding me from 4pm till 6pm; if she doesn't come on time I'm still gonna try watch the 6pm news for the 76TH time!

- Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!

Cheers,

Em. ^

Sunday Post 357

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been  hard @ work plodding 2096 steps (ha, I'm just over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'When God Goes Against His Will'; thirdly, TTWFT topic's "Don't Worry, God Is Faithful and fourthly, the spam count for the weekend's only eight. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:05am, when boisy PIG mum started her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs, ; she actually came to hit me with the eye goo and help me with tops while I was still over the pot :P 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 absolutely 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 only one tinkle (usually I sit for two), coming out when PIG mum ordered me out to eat breakfast first.
• 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 was a toasted sandwich with mashed avocado and some salt, not that my inferior tastebuds could taste any! XD I also drank one full mug of water, popped all my usual drugs :P and 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 bathroom, 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 spend 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 the backseat of the 4WD and PIG mum tootles us off to church. After arriving, I use the disabled loo once (even though the seat's up) and enter class.

• Today we studied Ruth chapter three and six students attended, three in-person and three via videolink.

• After service, I used the disabled loo myself again for another tinkle, haul myself upstairs for ESS and take my usual spot.
  

• Sweet I got to stay seated for worship today and  for the first time ever, I sang the harmony for ALL FIVE songs! Still meant absolutely NOTHING, though. >< *sigh*

• Speaker today was Pastor Chris, even though he didn't give a ssermon title.

• After service, I used the loo for another tinkle and then had lunch with dad @ the Warrigal Square Maccas. A Happy Meal for me and a Big Mac meal for dad.

• Got home, used the loo for another tinkle and popped online. Have been to the loo twice more since.

• After I've used up my most important two hours, I'm planning to read for one hour. Hopefully PIG mum will gimme some arvo tea.

• Dad had better take us out for dinner together tonight!

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

• Alyssa's coming and making dumplings with me!

• Having lunch @ home with dearest dad~ Hopefully we'll Whatsapp videochat 4th Aunty and Yau Hin!

• Also hopefully PIG mum'll take me out grocery shopping and aisle walking toms arvo, else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.

• Tina's coming to mind me from 4pm till 6pm toms. Wonder how late she'll arrive? XD

• Fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 75TH time!

• Righteo, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• Fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news for the 

Saturday Post 357c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @  3899. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I just randomly surfed the net. Should think of the next new topic I'll blog on!
• 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: just church, definitely nothing special. Even worse, nothing's happening after ESS (no sports/board games); I'm expecting only a Happy Meal with dad and a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum. >< *sigh*
• But dad had better take us somewhere out for dinner together toms night and gimme ONE bowl of rice!
• Righteo, hopefully see everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 357b

 `Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3474 (lol, I'm not only past three grand; I'm certain I'll even have cracked 3.5 grand before the night's out! XD); secondly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Death Zone' and thirdly, Joni's devotional topic's  'Getting Rid Of Fear. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• Precisely two hours after I started online, I got off the computer, used the loo for one tinkle and headed down to the gobbling :P table and asked PIG mum could I please have my sushi roll and a cup of tea for arvo tea?
• then I sat and read for almost TWO  hours! Not only that, I refinished the Matthew Reilly book @ 4:18pm! Luckily I'd brought along the new James Bond novel I'd decided to read next and immediately moved onto that. Actually, by the time I'd finished the afterword and interview with the author, 'twas 4:32pm.
• Only suddenly dad came over and demanded I move over to the computer to read since he was finalising his duck dinner!
• I headed over, kept reading. Our dinner guests arrived: Uncles Calvin and Man; Aunties Catherine and Vera. Pingee Yee told me that Matthew lives in Woolongabba now, near the P.A!
• When I was summoned to 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'd had the foresight to  skoot my chair over to get before lunch for dinner; May has been satisfied like TWENTY-TWO TIMES!
• Strange: we drank soup first? 'Twas disgusting, anyhow; dad had put all these bitter Chinese herbs into it, but I'd checked he'dd not added any ginseng coz that makes my nose SPURT bl;food!
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa I've forgotten which vegetable, some fish and some duck!
• Since I'd already drunk soup before dinner, after dinner mother just gave me a cup of water before I excused myself and returned online.
• For dessert PIG mum brings over some tofu flower she made!
• Only the tofu flower sent me to the loo for a pee. XD
• Everyone has left just before 8:30 ... wonder why?
• Anyways, hopefully bbl after 9pm following one last loo trip with my final, final plodding total for Saturday, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening Sunday, else hope to see everyone @ church Sunday! 

Saturday Post 257

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2928 steps (meaning I'm certain I'll have passed three grand before the day's out XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's  'The Payout For Patience' and thirdly, TWFT topic's "Getting Beyond 'The Splat'"/ Anyways, events for today?

• I used the pot :P once @ 12:25am and again @ 6:20am, when PIG mum awoke me with her noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs before immediately falling back asleep, since I knew with certainty she'd get loud again one hour later!
• Sure enough, exactly one hour later, noisy PIG mum went a-THUMPING upstairs and got changed for her half-day's work, which 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*
• After dearest dad's retucked me into bed, said he'd cook me sth for lunch and promised to stay quiet, I happily snore, waking up twice more for the pot :P before Hannah announces her arrival promptly @ 10am.
• Last then thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Brushed teeth, did a stinky unspeakable, had breakfast while reading for ten minutes (was hoping to read for thirty like last Saturday but silly dad was hurrying me to leave), used loo for one more tinkle and then climbed into Hannah's tank.
• Pity Hannah wouldn't lemme grab a trolley for walking and shopping; it would've been easier to get Erf past Elf! Oh well, I still managed that coz I had Green Sticky.
• We bought one box of cheap tissues from Woolies and then my calamari sushi roll before Hannah tootled me home.
• Turned off alarm and 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.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, Hannah reheated the fried rice dearest dad had cooked me for lunch and I enjoyed my third and final mug of white tea with two sugars. I'd had my second with one lil Oreo cookie when I came back from Calamvale Central.
•  Used the loo once more for two tinkles before I plopped online, signed Hannah off with my thanks and byes. She's back next Tuesday 10am till like 4pm.
• Once I've used up my most important two hours of the day online I'll use the loo for one tinkle, sit and eat the yummy calamari sushi I bought earlier today with Hannah and try read for two straight hours, coz I've only read for one thus far!
• Tonight: dad's invited Uncle Man and Aunty Vera over for dinner tonight; he's preparing duck and PIG mum's making tofu flower for them right now!
• Toms: just church, nothing special. Ohj, the special thing's that we've got sports from like 3pm till 6pm; fingers crossed I can find someone who'll have lunch with me, take me to sport and see me seated and playing table tennis and back home afterwards!
• Also fingers crossed that dearest dad will take us out for dinner together toms night!
• Anyways, hopefully bbll, else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 387b

 Heylo again and good afternoon again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 2310 but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTEEN MINUTES online after Kim minds me for two hours!! Righteo, continuing today's events?

• Incredibly, I had such an awesome snore that I didn't wake until dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently down the hallway and unpopped the lock leading into the garage! After one pot :P trip, 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*

   

• After dearest dad kisses me bye and retucks me back into bed for his hard day's work, I happily snore for about another hour, waking for the pot :P once more shortly before PIG mum begins her a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me very slightly with the tops before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen minutes first.

• PIG  mum comes back to help with absolutely 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 Ella). Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for just one tinkle, coming out when I realise I feel like doing a stinky unspeakable.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 387

Thursday Post 347b

 Heylo again, good evening and probably one final greeting for tonight! Em's probable final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @  3231. Ha, I'm over three grand. XD But I've got less than fifteen minutes left, so just super-briefly: 

• Tina helped me up; after breakfast and a number two she tootled me off to GCCW!
• Eleven people attended today; next fortnight's homework topic's 'Horror romance crime adventure and action chose one and write a story!'
• Lunch @ Ho Lin Wah was one of my favourites: the pork neck meat one!
• Got home, turned off alarm and showered - I washed and rinsed my hair today, also singing 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, even though I was all finished after only 9%.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted I booted up the computer while Tina cleaned the bathroom then very gently massaged Ela.
• PIG mum came home; arvo tea was one full gloopy mouthful of yummy passionfruit and one mug of green tea.
• Used loo for the full five tinkles before returning online.
• The parents are having walkies right now; hopefully dad feeds me dinner by 6:45pm @ the latest coz I'm gonna watch the Broncos play tonight!
• Toms: PIG mum should help me up since I'm going to see Aunty Ann for a comfy massage; bet she's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ her. XD
• *sigh* PIG mum's also found David to come gimme physio toms arvo.
• Kim's minding me from 3pm till 5pm.
• Friday night football: West Tigers vs. Dragons ... should I watch that?

Thursday Post 347

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2824 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Strength To Wait With Patience' and thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Set Free To Fulfill Your Desntint' but fourthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-SIX MINUTES online after PIG mum gets home from work!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 7th consecutive awesome sleep last night; that's the 10TH time this year I've scored one straight week of awesome sleeps! :D Nature didn't call until 6:45am and after one pot :P trip 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*
  Cheers,
• One hour later, nature calls again; after another pot :P trip I swing back into bed and wonder how late Tina will arrive today? XD
• Amazingly, she arrived promptly! I was bid good morning and offered fifteen more minutes; when Tina came back like two minutes early Mum Pig sent her packing. XD
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 357d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 4183. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I walked myself slowly and safely once more 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: Hoping Tina's better ... she's meant to come @ 8am, help me up and take me to GCCW!
• Looking forward to lunch @ Ho Lin Wah afterwards ... I need my HK-style milk tea!
• The Broncos are playing toms night; fingers crossed dad will get home early and microwave dinner for me! Else I'm willing to skip dinner ... the zBroncos had better win!! >< XD

Wednesday Post 357c

Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• Rehearsal started punctually! But Cath kept everyone four minutes over. XD
• After rehearsal, I started a new post for my Livejournal blog.
• Dad got home around 7pm; I asked him could he please microwave dinner? Dad said no, he was busy.
• Hence I waited. I tried asking @ 7:15pm, 7:30pm and 7:45pm was dinner ready yet but still dad said no! In the end he ordered that I stop asking. XD
• I wasn't summoned for dinner until 8:29pm!
• Before joining the parents @ the gobbling :P table, I walked myself once to the loo for one tinkle, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Sweet the parents lemme use the spoon I had the foresight to skoot my chair over to get while they were having walkies together for dinner, which was rice, lotsa yummy cauliflower, lotsa soup carrot and three thin slices of yummy BBQ cjhook.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup after which I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Anyways, fingers crossed I can bbrb after one final loo trip now with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms, else hope everyone's having a smashing week!

`Wednesday Post 357b

 Heyloo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 3970. Lol, I'm positive I'll have cracked four grand before the night's out! XD) Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I started reading all the Furious Fiction winners for this month!
• Precisely two hours after I started online, I went over to the gobbling :P table and ate the morning tea PIG mum had kindly left for me: one yummy banana, one gloopy mouthful of passionfruit and one mug of peppermint tea.
• Before I returned online I used the loo for one more tinkle.
• Hopefully rehearsal will work tonight!
• Also hopefully bbl after dinner, else hope everyone's having a smashing week!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 357

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3890 steps (so pretty sure I'll crack four grand before the day's out XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic's "God's Design In Detours' and thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Do What God Called You To Do'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:10am when noisy PIG mum began her daily a-THUMPING around; she actually came to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with the tops while I was still over the pot! :P
• After giving myself fifteen more minutes, I get myself mostly independently kitted,. I also 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 absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, 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 only one tinkle, coming out when PIG mum summons me, saying eat breakfast first.
• Breakfast was the last of PIG mum's yummy tuna buns, all my usual drugs :P and one warm mug of Milo. PIG mum had forgotten to gimme any water; not wanting any, I quickly take the pills with sips of Milo. XD  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*
• After breakfast, 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 spend 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 Kim's car and she tootles me off to UQ for my big two hour session. As expected, we were stuck in traffic but didn't do too badly: only arrived one minute late today! Well, after one loo trip first, about five. XD
• Physio today: 100 single leg push-ups using Tower Of Power for Elf, three circuits walking around outside and thirty minutes treadmill walking speed reachingf 1.5km/hr.
• Less than fifteen minutes left, so just briefly:
• Got home, turned off the alarm  and took a nice hot shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 18% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, I got myself a spoon and had rice leftovers for lunch.
• Saw Ray for some massage and acupuncture.
• Will eat some banana and passionfruit for arvo tea once I've used up my most important two hours of the day online.
• Hopefully choir rehearsal will work tonight; it didn't last Wednesday!
• Toms: Tina's taking me to GCCW~
• We'll hopefully have lunch @ Ho Lin Wah afterwards; she'll see me home and showered before leaving @ 3:30pm.
• May haveta skip dinner toms night coz I'm planning to watch the Broncos play!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else hope everyone's having a smashing week!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 356d

 Good evening and definitely one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 4125 (sweet, I'm over four grand ^^); secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "Sharing In God's Nature" and thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Shift Into Neutral'. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• Don't recall seeing Ray for acupuncture; think I just enjoyed my most important two hours of the day until Kim arrived and took me to Toastmasters @ 5:30.
• But only seven people attended; since the president himself wasn't there Elsa made an executive decision and cancelled the meeting! I texted Kim asking did she wanna pick me up and we'd sit all night @ Maccas/did she just wanna leave me till 8:30pm? She came, we said bye and Kim took me once more to the loo but when we were leaving the other six Toastmasters were leaving too; Elsa said, "Em, we're going to the bar; wanna come join us?"
• At the bar, I transferred onto the couch, rang PIG mum and explained the meeting's been cancelled but since we're just @ the bar and we got the free parking tonight could I use the fifteen bucks and bye dinner? She said yes! :Only there wasn't any menu; the bar only sold drinks! I was like but uh, I need dinner and Neil suggested get a pizza! But I'm only got ten bucks? I ask. Neil replies think they've got ten dollar pizzas. O was that fifteen, cooz  I had the parking money? Anyhow, I got a PEKING DUCK pizza! :D Lino wanted a slice but I promised him next time. He's only twenty-one and a builder with his dad!
• When people left, Kim came back for me, took me to the loo once more and dropped me home. She left like thirty minutes early but she's back toms taking me to UQ for my big two hour session and will see me home and showered before leaving. She said I was mean because apparently I'd yelled @ Victoria hence why Victoria refuses to work with me anymore? Dunno. 
• Kim will see me home and showered before leaving @ 1/2pm.
• Ah, I got the days mixed up; I'm seeing Ray for acupuncture and massage TOMORROW arvo; I didn't today! XD Bet PIG mum's still DYING to yap @ him.
• Choir practice toms night @ 5:30pm; Cath's already sent us the lyrics~
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 358c

 Good afternoon and probably one final greeting for today! Em's probable final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 2943; bet I'll have cracked three grand before the day's out! XD Righteo, probable final, final events for tonight?

• Afterwards, I have an incredible snore and don't wake again for the pot :P until dearest dad very considerately walks silently down the hallway and unupops the lock into the garage!
• Once dearest dad has kissed me bye, retucked me back into bed and left for his hard day's work, I happily snore for another hour, 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 tops 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 absolutely nothing bar Eld'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 only one tinkle, coming out when I realise I feel like doing a stinky unspeakable.
• Breakfast is one of the tuna and corn buns PIG mum spent last night baking; honestly, they were DELICIOUS! Prolly because I've got inferior tastebuds and didn't realise that PIG mum used expired yeast when baking the bread, hence why it didn't come out the way she expected. XD 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* Come 10am, Hannah arrives to mind me and PIG mum dashes out to attend her yoga/pilates class.
• After breakfast, I head back to the loo, asking Hannah please to wash my breakfast dishes. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and spend minutes finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• That done, I wash and dry Era and then pop online till 11:30am.
• Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Lunch was some rice leftovers and one big mug off white tea with two sugars.
• Hannah tootled me off to the NAB to see Cat. Physio today: 24:01 minutes treadmill walking, descended and ascended stairs (nine steps) ten times with left weightshift and wrong foot ascending the tenth time.
• Got home, turned alarm off and 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.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was the same as breakfast (one of PIG mum's tuna buns; she shouted Hannah one too), two passionfruit and one mug of green tea.
• Used the loo once more for two tinkles before Hannah left; she's back Saturday 10am till 2pm, should she not have any side effects after getting her first COVID jab the day before.
• Kim'd taking me to Toastmasters tonight! I'm either Timer/Warm-up Master.
• Toms: 9am till 11am physio @ the NAB for me. Usually, Victoria takes me, but today CODA rang and said Victoria's not doing the Wednesday shifts but Kim'll take over.
• Seeing Ray for some massage and acupuncture this arvo; bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD
• Think I've gotta do GCCW homework toms arvo?
• Have choir practice toms night 5:30pm till 6:30pm.
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 358b

 Heylo again and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I get the chance to post before midday. XD Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding only 580 steps (but leaving house for physio next and will have a more substantial plodding total to report afterwards); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Bedrock Of Your Assurance' and thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Prayer: Make It Simple And Frequent'  21`but fourthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and FIFTEEN MINUTES online after I get back from UQ physio!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature did call fractionally before midnight since the parents were being noisy but I used the pot :P very quickly and was back under the covers before the new day arrived, meaning nature didn't call until 6:45am~
• After one pot :P trip, 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*

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2054. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I continued watching the Broncos replay match.
• Usually,. I use the loo once more @ 9pm but tonight I waited until the first half had finished before doing so. David Mead suddenly intercepted and ran 95m to call, woot!
• At 9:04pm, 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:  hope PIG mum helps me up...
• Yay, after I told her I'm not up for doing TWO physio sessions in one day she'd changed David coming toms till Friday. Just the afternoon session @ UQ for me; this arvo, when I left, I palmed the door open; Cat sawq me and called, "Cya toms, Em!" Only I've forgotten who's taking me! XD
• Kim's taking me to Toastmasters toms night; I'm either Timekeeper/Warm-Up Master.
• Looking forward to getting some dinner from Maccas afterwards, even though Happy Meals were what I ate surely MORE THAN TWO DECADES ago!! *sigh*

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ exactly 2000 *(nice number! XD); secondly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Got Plans?' and thirdly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Being Clothed'. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• After the news ended I started watching the full match replay of the ZBroncos triumph over the Roodters two days ago!
• When dearest dad got home, PIG mum was still upstairs sleeping, but she tumbled downstairs immediately~
• When dinner was reheated and I was summoned, 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. 
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy broccoli, lotsa yummy cauliflower, lotsa yummy kaillan, some fish and some chicken that I'd cooked earlier this morning.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowlful of soup; after taking my bowl over to the fridge 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 watching the match replay now! 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 Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Tee hee, I've already managed FIVE posts tonight! XD Yeah, I can manage that most Mondays now. XD

Monday Post 358d

 Good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 1661; ha, I'm over 1.5 grand. XD Righteo, just brieflypotential final, final events for tonight?

• I snored happily for another hour, waking to kiss dearest dad goodbye when he came and retucked me back into bed before leaving for hishard day's work.
• I used the pot once more when he left, slept for another hour and used the pot :P once more before PIG mum began her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs.
• After I was kitted and up, I brushed teeth, got myself a spoon and had porridge for breakfast, did a stinky unspeakable 
  
• Alyssa came to gimme my first OT session for today; we cooked a chicken stirfry! The one-handed chopping board's awesome; I wailed very convincingly for all the potatoes and carrots I hacked to death; leaving Alyssa in stitches. XD
• Tina was sick and couldn't come; the co-ordinator PIG mum thinks isn't good rang and said someone was taking me, but she never turned up! I rang CODA and hounded them to find her; turns out Priscilla had accidentally taken a toll road?
• When she finally arrived she tootled me off to UQ, encountering more problems with the address PIG mum had written for her (apparently she'd written two?)  Then her GPS was unresponsive but in the end, I arrived @ 1:52!
• One loo trip for me; when I neared the sim house I was met by Mel, April and Ida and apologised profusely for my tardiness.
• For my last session with them, we had a lil farewell party! I bought them chocolate, April bought vege chips and a 1.25L bottle of Coke and Ida taught us how to play mahjong! She won the first game outright; before we could finish the second Priscilla came to pick me up, but Iida decided that @ the current stage of the game, I would've won.
• Back home, I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Priscilla who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye shut. Lol, me lucky: that's the 50TH time this year I've had help with the hairwash! XD
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was one gloopy mouthful of passionfruitt and one mug of green/Chinese tea.
• When Priscilla left I used the loo for two more tinkles.
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 73RD time!
• Toms: hope PIG mum helps me up...
• Also hope David ISN'T coming to gimme a session of physio because while two OT sessions a day's not too bad, one physio session a day's enough to bugger me out and I don't really want a second! *sigh*
• Can't remember who's taking me to the NAB toms arvo for physio ... know I'm seeing Cat coz when I left the sim house this arvo I palmed the door open to see was there anybody I recognised; Cat saw me and called, "Cya tome, Em!"
• Kim's taking me to Toastmasters toms night! Every meeting I'm either warmup master/timer. XD
• Fingers crossed she'll lemme buy some dinner home from Maccas, never mind that Happy Meals were what I ate MORE than two DECADES ago!! *sigh*
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,

Monday Post 358b

 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 387 steps (coz obviously, I've not left the house yet); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's "Is Christ Worth It?"; and thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The  Power Of Influence (2)' but fourthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-THREE MINUTES online after I get home from my second session of OT this arvo!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature dids't call until 7:00am, but when I glanced over @ the commode, 'twas empty! "PIG mum, you FORGOT to gimme the pot :P last night!" I screeched. In response, she thudded around upstairs a bit but didn't bother coming downstairs and giving me back the pot! Next I tried calling out to dearest dad (who'd be eating breakfast in the din9ng room, I was sure) and he immediately came with the pot :P. We blew kisses @ each other, he put the pot :P back into place and I quickly went, phew. Back in bed, 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*

• Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:55am~
• Had breakfast, did a stinky unspeakable and PIG mum dropped me off @ BCAC and I went to Janice's car; she tootled me off to the Lung residence for small group.
• Only Pastor Grace, Janice, Pole and me there this morning. We started a study on Zephaniah; it's a real fire and brimstone book!
• The Lungs dropped me back to BCAC for ESS afterward.
• 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 Gospel Pandemic series.
• Miss Lam walked with me downstairs after ESS for our monthly community lunch; Pastor Grace brought back KFC for me!
• Got home, let PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk outside and let her gleefully FORCE :( poor Ela to take down most of the day's washing; argh, I HATES standing practice! >< *sigh*
• Had arvo tea and showered - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song softly, slowly but most hatefullly out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
• Had dinner with the parents and Ho Lin Wah and wandered Fresco.
• Toms: Alyssa's coming and we're cooking stir-fry/sth else together!
• Tina's coming @ like 12:15pm and taking me to see Dani and April for like my last free OT session with them. She'll see me home and showered before leaving.
• Fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 73RD time!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,

Saturday Post 358d

 One final greeting and good evening for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 1724. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• Just before I published the previous post, Uncle Slam summoned me over to munch a slice of the passionfruit cake PIG mum had baked last night! 'Twas nice and fluffy; Uncle Slam even spooned some passionfruit over it for me!
• Slice finished, I returned online, published the previous post and continued writing my personal blog post.
• At 9pm, I walked myself 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: just church, definitely nothing special. PIG mum'll take me to church @ 8:50am and Janice will drive me to the Lung's residence for small group and drop me back to ESS afterwards.
• Would love to have lunch with other ESS peers, but basically resigned to a Happy Meal with dad. *sigh*
• Also braced for a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum. *another sigh*
• But dad had better take us out somewhere awesome for dinner toms night, coz May the 23rd officially marks lucky number thirteen YEARS since I was released from the insane asylum forever!!! :D
• Meaning I'd better go finish my personal blog post about it; looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 358c

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 1480 (hence why I'm sure I'll have cracked 1.5 grand before the night's out XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'No Longer A Slave To Sin." Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• Even though PIG mum had requested Aunty A arrive by 6pm, she didn't appear until 6:13pm. Her usual 'punctually be a lil late' tactic. XD
• 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. 
• Sweet, the parents lemme use the spoon I had the foresight to skoot my chair over to get before lunch for dinner tonight; May has been satisfied EIGHTEEN times!!:D :D
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy broccoli, lotsa yummy cauliflower, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup tomato, some steamed fish and like three slices of dad's delicious duck.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup before I returned online.
• Nature suddenly called @ 7:45pm; I walked myself slowly and safely once more 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. 
• Anyways, I'm off to discover the fate for the Broncos' game tonight! After that, I'llk continue writing my personal blog post; fingers crossed I can bbl following one last loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening Sunday, else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! `Em's potential final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 1310. Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• Precisely two hours after I started my most important two hours online, I got off the computer, headed over to the gobbling :P table and enjoyed the gloopy mouthful of passionfruit and mug of green tea PIG mum had left me for arvo tea. I also read for forty more minutes, because it's only Saturdays that I get to spend a blessed three hours reading~
• One more loo trip for me before I returned online.
• Once I sat down, the door bell dinged! Dad sent me to open the door and welcome the Slams~

Saturday Post 358

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1139 steps (ha, I'm over one grand XD); secondly, John  Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'God Works For You' and thirdly, TWFT topic's 'What Will Your Legacy Be? (3)'. Anyways, just briefly, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:20am, when noisy PIG mum began her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs.
• When Kim arrived @ 10am to help me up; dad immediately asked would she take me to the Mt. Gravatt showgrounds and buy books and she said yes! :D
• I brushed teeth, did a stinky unspeakable, wolfed down breakfast, used loo for one more tinkle and climbed into Kim's car; off to the Mt. Gravatt showgrounds!
• As agreed, I walked and pushed the wheelchair with Kim coz PIG mum said walk there before sitting down and browsing books, but crossing Kim suddenly brakes Sparkless3 and says, sit down? I'm like umm mother ordered I walk to the book sales before sitting and choosing books but Kim says no, it's not safe here. You sit and I'll explain to your mum." Gladly! ;)
• Oh, I had SO MUCH FUN trawling for new books! Originally PIG mum snapped she'd only gimme ten bucks but this morning she and dearest dad had an almighty row over sth and instead she gave me twenty? Score, anyhow! With twenty bucks, I picked up ten new books! :D
• Got home, turned off alarm and showered - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 24% of my short second-favourite song out aloud, opening booth eyes for all the important numbers.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted lunch was one full bowl of the yummy fried rice Kim cooked for me while I was showering plus TWO mugs of white tea since I'd missed my midday mug coz we were still out! XD
• Kim left @ 2:30; both parents arrived home. Dearest dad's gone out again and PIG mum's hit the sack.
• Once I've used up all my most important two hours of the day online, I'll head over to the gobbling :P table, slurp the arvo tea (passionfruit and tea) that PIG mum has kindly left for me read for forty more minutes, since it's only Saturdays I get to spend a blessed three hours reading~
• Tonight the Slams and Aunty A are coming over and eating dad's duck! After I've finished dinner I'm planning to return to the computer and finishing my personal blog post!
• Toms: just church, nothing special. PIG mum will take me to church; meeting Janice @ 8:50am and she's driving me to the Lungs for small group.
• Back to church for ESS afterwards.
• Would love lunch out with church peers but basically resigned to a Happy Meal with dad @ Maccas. *sigh*
• Also resigned too a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum toms arvo. *another sigh*
• But the special thing about toms: May the 23rd, 2021, marks THIRTEEN YEARS since my release from the insane asylum!! :D  :D
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 358d

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 7137 (sweet, I'm over seven grand XD) and secondly, the spam count for the week's thirty-seven. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I continued writing my blog post; hopefully I can publish it this 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: getting my weekly sleep-in till 10am, when Kim comes and minds me till 2pm.
• Oh, fingers crossed she'll stick Sparkless3 into her carboot and take me to the book sale @ the Mt. Gravatt showgrounds!! In the past, PIG mum always lemme use twenty bucks to lug back eight books from the Lifeline Bookfest, but this year she's being stingy and only giving me ten. *sigh* Perhaps I can ask dad for ten more and protest PIG mum always gave me twenty ... XD
• Will shower (perhaps quicker than usual, should Kim take me to buy books and I need to shower and eat lunch before she leaves @ 2pm since I don't get 4-6pm support Saturdays anymore) before Kim leaves.
• But expect a super-pissy plodding total from me coz dad's already said he'll not take me out walking and having arvo tea @ Garbo since he needs to prepare and cook the duck that he's invited the Slams and Aunty A too come over for toms night. Mother did try ordering I walk into the book sale, sit to browse, choose and buy books and then walk back to the car; I'll see how Kim feels about that. 
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 358c

 Good evening!  Firstly, Em's new plodding total  for tonight now stands @ 6991 (meaning I'm beyond sure I'll crack seven grand before Friday ends XD)  and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Living Sacrifices' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-FIVE MINUTES online after I visit the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, just briefly, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:05am~
• Had my yummy custard bun for breakfast, did a stinky unspeakable and them PIG mum tootled us off to Market Square Dental. Was kinda pissed that she parked BEYOND the end of Malaya Corner and gleefully FORCED me to walk like the ENTIRE LENGTH of Market Square to reach Market Square Dental, but hey. Can't expect her to understand how difficult walking's for me.
• Got a clean, teeth x-rays and fitted for a new mouth splint, since the old one I've had for FIVE YEARS! I feel loved: Kelvin had a minion toothbrush and minion toothpaste waiting for me!
• Tina minded me from 4pm till 6pmm.
• Watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 72ND time!
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa shaved carrot, lotsa I've forgotten which green vegetable, some snow fungus, some black fungus, a lil mince and like one thin slice of duck meat. Dinnmer was spooned down with one bowl of soup before I returned online.
• Fingers crossed I can bbl after one more loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final spam count for the week, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms, else hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,

Thursday Post 358c

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 4293. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the toilet 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: PIG mum's prolly found Tiff to come gimme an OT session. *sigh* On the bright side, she'll help me up...
• Fingers crossed she'll take me to Wing Gei for lunch, because toms arvo I'm seeing the dentist for a general clean! I'm supposing dentists weren't considered essential services coz I can't remember seeing him last year? Anyways, hope the receptionistt will gimme all of last month's gossip mags to read! XD
• Tina's coming to mind me from like 4pm till 6pm; wonder where Kim's gone?
• Sharks and Dragons playing toms night but doubt I'll watch that coz GCCW competition scores are due really soon and today I got an e-mail from Allison chasing for my scores coz everyone else has already submitted theirs!! XD
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 358c

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for tonight now stands @ 4160 (see? Told you I'd crack four grand XD Also, it's the second consecutive day I've plodded more than 4000 steps; nice~); secondly,  Joni's devotional topic's 'Hearts Fully Connected' and thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Walk, Don't Run". Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• Firstly, don't ask me why the font suddenly went bold and huge in the previous post; hopefully it's settled down. XD
• Lunch was @ Woka Warrigall with Pastor Grace but since we arrived early I had like thirty minutes to play Candy Crush type games; today I randomly managed to pass two more Candy Crush Jelly Saga levels and one more Farm Hereos Saga level! XD
• Good timing: we arrived @ Woka same time as Pastor Grace and even fancier, there's been additions to their lunch special menu! Today I enjoyed the baked FISH FILLET rice (PIG mum says don't eat fish there coz they always use the most inferior fish basa but my inferior taste buds can't taste the difference XD) and next fortnight I wanna try the fried instant noodle that Pastor Grace had today! Apparently it's super-unhealthy, but surely trying that dish once can't hurt ... XD Over lunch, Pastor Grace told me about some kinda pastors' conference thing she'd been attending this week for professional development.
• After Tina tootled me home, I turned off the alarm and 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 please for some facewash, I was actually all done after only 11%, but happily leaned fully against the side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before flipping the nice hot water off.
• After Tina came back, I got dried, had another tinkle and got creamed. When Tina got me rekitted, 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 I sent Tina back to please clean the bathroom and rang the Mt. Gravatt showgrounds person, asking was the bookfair happening this weekend wheelchair-accessible. The answer: yes; fingers crossed Kim can take me!!
• After PIG arrived home @ 3:28pm; @ 4:05pm I signed Tina off with my thanks and byes. She's back toms 4-6pm/thereabouts.
• PIG mum gave me one mug of Chinese tea to drink and I let her nab half my sausage bun. She was feeling antisocial and just crashed on the couch; I happily propped both legs onto the footstool and let Ela stay in my lap instead of having her on the table top. XD
• Before returning online I smuggled my mobile into the loo and played Farm Heroes for three tinkles and Candy Crush Jelly Saga for another two. XD
• Returned online and happily watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 71ST time! Dad started dinner by himself first @ 6:25pm since he's got some church meeting happening tonight.
• After I'd finished watching the news, 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, dad lemme use the spoon Tina kindly washed and returned to me after breakfast for dinner; May has been satisfied SIXTEEN times!! :D :D
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa shredded carrot, lotsasoup onion, lotsa yummy broccoli, a lil pork, one pork bone and one yummy lil chunk of BBQ duck.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup before I walked myself slowly and safely online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Hopefully PIG mum finishes sleeping soon; I need her to gimme the iPad coz I've gotta score all the competition entries; Alison's chasing me for them!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl after one final loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for tonight, the final, final events for Thursday plus what's happening Friday, else wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 358b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3957 (so bet I'lll have cracked four grand before the night's out XD) but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 71ST time!! Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• I happily snore for about another hour, waking once more for the pot :P before returning to bed and wondering how late Tina will be today. XD
• Answer: only five minutes! She gave me fifteen more minutes and actually gave me the whole fifteen minutes before coming back and helping me get kitted for the day! As expected, she was late because of the traffic.
• After I got kitted, I went over to the bathroom and brushed teeth. Thanks to Tina who squirted me some toothpaste; Ela enjoyed her first official break.
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for only one tinkle, coming out when I realise I feel like doing a stinky unspeakable.
• Breakfast might've been one bowl of plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh* Thanks also to Tina who turned on Today for my viewing pleasure; originally I had asked for Sunrise (channel Seven) please but there wasn't any reception.
• Breakfast finished, I ask Tina please to wash up the breakfast stuff and lock the windows while I visited the toilet once more. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and spend 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 the passenger seat of Tina's car and she tootles me off to Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown for my fortnightly shopping trip!
• Why have the bullet points suddenly gone HUGE?? XD
• After one loo trip, I walk to the library, grab Orson Scott Card's and Aaron Johnstone's The Hive and happily read for one hour, reaching pg. 200 @ 9:55am, reaching pg. 222 @ 10:29am and reaching pg. 225 @ 10:34am. I don't usually read THAT slowly but had to stop on Google the word 'papoose' first. XD
• After posting an update onto Facebook, I used the loo for another tinkle, caught the lift up onto level four, grabbed a trolley and began grocery shopping @ Coles.
• After catching the lift back down to level two, I took a seat outside and Tina ducked into New York Baguette and bought me one sausage bun and one custard bun.
• Our second-last stop was Woolies. As usual, Caitlin was on her break, but I had a chat with Jessica, a mature checkout lady who comes from Malaysia but can speak Canto!
• The Reject Stop was our last stop; I'm surprised Tina remembered! Tabitha was @ the checkout today; we had a quick chat! Then, on the way back to Tina's car, we passed Woolies again and I saw Caitlin's supervisor! I still can't remember her name but she saw me and nodded a greeting; Era gave a quick wave in return. XD
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
