Tuesday Post 392

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3823 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic's 'The Only Conscience-Cleanser and thirdly, TWFT topic's "You're In A Time Of Testing" but fourthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and EIGHTEEN MINUTES online when I get home from Toastmasters!!! *sigh* Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until dad awoke me when he thunked the marmalade jar down onto the gobbling :P table; 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*
• Usually nature calls hourly after that initial pot :P trip but happiness today was sleeping soundly till 7:45am when dearest dad very considerately walked silently along the driveway and unpopped the lock leading into the garage before waking for another pot :P trip.
• After dearest dad kisses me bye, ewtucks me into bed and leaves for his hard day's work, I happily snore for about another hour, being awoken for one more pot :P trip when PIG mum starts her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. 
• Only thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Hannah helped me up @ 9am; I ate breakfast, did a stinky unspeakable and then she tootled me out to Garbo to buy my Secret Santa a present! Luckily Hannah knows Garbo well; she parked really close to T2, phew!
• Aww they don't have free samples anymore. Stupid COVID. >< 
• Then I hiked to the Reject Shop and bought myself an Advent calendar!
• Best of all, Hannah and I then had like ONE HOUR to sit and poke @ our mobiles! Not only that, we bumped into Pastor Grace and Peter Pie!
• After buying sushi, I came home and took a nice warm 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, thanks to PIG mum who reheated me some rice leftovers for lunch coz I'll not get any rice for dinner!
• Saw Aunty Ann for a comfy massage. PIG mum was in her element yappung ceaselessly @ Aunty Ann; my thanks to her who always replied and kept a conversation flowing.
• Kim's taking me to our final normal meeting of Toastmasters for this year; I really hope we can have our party @ the pub and not shutr shop next year! XD
• Toms: seeing Ray for acupuncture and massage toms morning instead of toms arvo because I've got another appointment.
• Seeing that young physio dude - suddenly forgot his name @ EMP for a session.
• Nisha's minding me from 4-6.
• Will join choir rehearsal from 5:30pm till 6:45pm!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl tonight, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 4549. Ha, I'm just over 4.5 grand. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I continued composing my XMas wishlist!
• 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: Hannah's back minding me again. PIG mum says she's sending us back to Sunnybank Plaza and getting a refund/swap item for the facepaint with the missing brush. Wonder if she'll lemme buy another harsiubing/whatever that waffle fish thing was called for arvo tea? Otherwise I wouldn't mind getting a bun from Sunni Bakery but now that Sunnybank Plaza has been like extended I dunno where it's located anymore! XD

• I'n looking forward to seeing Aunty Ann for a comfy massage, bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ her. XD

• Then @ 5:30pm Kim's taking me to Toastmasters ... gosh I sure hope it'll not get cancelled for the third consecutive time ... XD

• Also looking forward to my Happy Meal afterwards: I can FINALLY get it with my milkshake!! :D Seriously dunno why PIG mum only lets me get one once a year ... *sigh*

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

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 4414; secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Where Are The Simons?' and thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'rusting God In Opposition'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• After watching the 6pm bulletin (Seven's) for the 128TH time, I went back to composing my XMas Wishlist.
• When the parents summoned me over for dinner @ 7:58pm, 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 Hannah washed and returned to me after breakfast for dinner tonight; November has been satisfied TWENTY-NINE times!!! :D :D :D :D
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy kailan, lotsa lettuce, lotsa some third vegetable I've since forgotten and like four lil chunks of yummy pork.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowlful of soup; after taking my bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.   
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip 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. ^^

Monday Post 392b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for today! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 4247. Sweet I'm over four grand; that doesn't happen too often! Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• Precisely two hours after I'd begun my most important two hours of the day online, I got offline and headed over to the gobbling :P table, calling upstairs to PIG mum that I was gonna read for one hour and could she please feed me the taiyaki I'd bought earlier this morning with Hannah?
• She didn't reply; I presumed she'd already hit pigland upstairs and just started happily reading.
• Turns out she was just having delayed reaction; eleven minutes after I'd started reading she tumbled downstairs and immediately forced me offline.
• First I let her gleefully FORCE me on five rounds of Clock Yourself (colours) for her; argh, I HATES standing practice! >< *sigh*
• I was ready to resume reading after I'd completed that exercise for her but no, then I had to let her gleefully force poor Era on those dumbbell exercises Jacky had taught me for my slightly strained right triceps.
• But finally, she left me alone to read in peace! Since I like reading for one hour everyday whenever possible, I happily read for forty-nine more minutes, finishing pg. 325 @ 4:42pm and reaching pg. 333 @ 4:52.
• Before I returned online, I used the loo for one more tinkle.
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner tonight, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S.

Monday Post 392

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3808 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Root Of Ingratitude' and thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Take The Initiative (3)'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until dearest dad began breakfast this morning and clunked the marmalade jar onto the table, which woke me; after using the pot :P once 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* 
• Usually nature calls every hour after that initial pot :P trip but today happiness was happily snoring all the way until 7:45am, when dearest dad silently and very considerately walks silently along the hallway and unpops the lock leading into the garage before waking for another pot :P trip.
• After dearest dad kisses me bye, retucks me back into bed and leaves for his hard day's work, Uber and I happily snore for about another hour, me waking again for the pot :P when noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Hannah's arrival.
• When Hannah arrives, she knocks, opens door, says good morning and fifteen more minutes before leaving when Uber nods @ her. Actually I fall back asleep before she returns but since 'twas only a very light sleep I awoke immediately when she pushed the door open then used the pot :P for one tinkle before getting kitted.
• While Hannah empties the commode I brush teeth (Ela rejoices that she doesn't haveta hold the toothbrush) and then I sit over the loo for about five minutes before just coming outside when I realise I feel like doing a stinky unspeakable.
• After toasting bread, returning to turn the bread over and returning a third time to fetch the bread, breakfast is one bowl of bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) with one of the adorable lil tuna buns PIG mum baked last night, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• Breakfast finished, I sit over the loo once more. 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 I climb into Hannah's tank, she tootles me off to Sunnybank Plaza, parking outside Coles.
• First, we head into The Reject Shop and buy facepaint coz I need a red nose for the dress-up comp!
• While we're going to Coles, I suddenly bump into Tess and recognise her! She's left Kyabra now and works for herself.
• While we're inside Coles, we bump into Aunty Lucia taking another client grocery shopping; this time I remember her hubby's name: Uncle Peter!
• Our last stop's Papa Beard (or sth like that); I buy a taiyaki! Never tried one before but hope it's delicious!
• Back home, I turn off the alarm and take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Hannah who helps me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• I had one tinkle before Hannah flipped the nice warm water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Hannah rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was doing Elf's AFO straps and one last when I was drying inside the ears with a tissue.
• Back outside, lunch was one bowl of cream of chicken soup with many added vegetables, one mug of green/Chinese tea and one of the lil tuna buns PIG mum had baked last night!
• Before Hannah left @ 1pm, I used the loom once more for two tinkles. She's back again tomorrow but for one extra hour, from 9-2 this time.
• Fingers crossed I can read for one hour and then watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 128TH time!
• Seeing Aunty Ann for a comfy massage toms arvo; bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ her. XD
• Kim's taking me to Toastmasters @ 5:30pm and since it's our last normal meeting for the year, I can FINALLY get a milkshake with my Happy Meal!! :D
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

Sunday Post 392b

 Heylo again, good evening and probably one final greeting for Sunday! Firstly, Em's probable final, final plodding total for tonight now stands @ 3657 (ha, I'm over 3.5 grand XD); secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Scaling The High Bar'; thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Insult To Injury' and fourthly, the probable final, final spam count for the weekend's now forty. Righteo, probable final, final events for tonight?

• Lol, PIG mum's so DESPERATE to force me to do stupid exercises for her, she tried to boot me offline with two minutes to spare! I just ignored her for two more minutes before getting away from the computer. XD
• First, I had to let PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me too do five rounds of Clock Yourself (colours) for her; argh, I HATES standing practice! >< *sigh*
• Next, I had to let her gleefully force poor Ela to feed me a banana, after I first let her gleefully force poor Ela to hold the bana and order Era to peel it. I didn't really mind, though, since I was seated and could fully concentrate. Besides, I'd finished before dearest dad got home, meaning she didn't get to show off to him how much power she's got over me.
• Took a nice warm shower afterwards - 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, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
• After I flipped the nice  warm water off, PIG mum dried my back for me and then I did everything else except the bra strap, EEElf's AFO straps and both laces.
• After lifting the loo lid  I did another stinky unspeakable before returning online.
• Before we left for our once-weekly dinner out, I used the loo for one more tinkle.
• We had dinner tonight @ Woka Warrigal. A two person meal between three people obviously means I'll get piss little but tonight I was allowed to choose one dish and I chose sizzling chicken in teriyaki sauce! The dessert wasn't very yummy, though: the choc top milky poles were like strawberry flavoured. XD
• Back home, I used the loo for one more tinkle before walking myself slowly and safely back online, again and always  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.    
• Toms: Kim's minding me 9-1; PIG mum says we can go buy face paint from the Reject Shop for my Rudolph costume for the CODA Christmas party!
• Don't have any appointments toms arvo; hoping to spend my most important two hours online, read for one hour and watch the 6pm bulletin for the  128TH time!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheersa,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 392

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2542 steps (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'How To Magnify God'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Take The Initiative (2); fourthly, the final, final spam count for the week's actually155 and fifthly, the spam count for the weekend's thirty-eight. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:40am, 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*

•  About ten minutes later, PIG mum commences her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs, before she lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo. She only helped me exceedingly slightly with nothing but the bra strap; even though dad was home she wouldn't help me with the tee because she said he wasn't awake yet! *sigh*

• After giving myself fifteen more minutes, I get myself mostly independently kitted. PIG mum comes back to help with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully vFORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for just one tinkle, coming out when I realise I feel like doing a stinky unspeakable.

• After pouring myself one mug of water, breakfast is one bowl of bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread with a little avocado and perhaps sprinkled with the merest dab of salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*

• Breakfast finished, I walk myself slowly and safely to the loo, rising above 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 the backseat of PIG mum's 4WD. Of course, she gleefully forces me to buckle my own seatbelt before serving us to church. I don't even bother asking her to please turn the music on, coz she'll doubtless snap 'no' because 'she's preparing her heart to worship God, whatever that really means.

• After hiking downstairs, I use the disabled loo once (the seat's up but @ least the lid's up too) and then enter the classroom. Like all year, I'm the first student to arrive but @ least the teacher's arrived too.

• Seven students attended today; Uncle William covered the last lesson from the Unfinished Story.

• I used the loo once more after class (pity, the seat was still up), hauled myself upstairs and grabbed my usual spot. PIG mum bolted off to her very informal 'fellowship' (even Supreme Leader agrees it's just a coffee and gossip session XD) with the other aunties that can't be bothered attending Bible study like my dearest dad does.

• Yay, I get to stay seated for worship today~ I sing everything plus the harmony for two songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*

• Speaker today's Reverend Chris; he started a new sermon series about Advent.

• Once service ends Dr. Esther says let's get food from Malay Corner/Malay House; she shows me the menu and I choose sweet and sour pork with eice.

• After I use the loo for one tinkle, Dr. Esther puts me under Aggie's care; together with Huldah we head downstairs for our once monthly community lunch!

• Suddenly I get a message from Dr. Esther, saying that Malay Corner/Malay House isn't answering phone calls so she'll buy us lunch from the other one instead! Sweet and sour pork's not available; instead, she got me sweet and sour chicken! Huldah originally said she'd pour me one cup of water from the kitchen but thehen Dr. Esther finds me a bottled milk tea! :D

• After lunch Dr. Esther drops Aggie home first before taking me home too. I relieve myself and then walk myself slowly and safely online, again  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.   

• PIG mum's just tumbled downstairs from pigland ... expecting I'll get summoned for arvo tea soon.

• Hope dad takes us out for dinner tonight! Don't mind if he takes us to Sunnybank Sports And Community Club coz  I already had rice for lunch.

• Toms: Kim's minding me 9-1.nWonder if PIG mum'll lemme buy my advent calendar yet?

Can't remember have I got anything happening toms arvo, but fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm bulletin for the 128TH time!

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

Saturday Post 392c

 One final greeting and good evening for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4926. Lol, that's the closest I've been to half a normal person for awhile! XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy kailan, lotsa choko, a little beef, a little chicken and a little fish. I'm very surprised: usually it's meat and three veg, not two veg and three meat!
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking my bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.    
• Tonight Cath and Mr. Jay livestreamed their concert through Facebook! However, since I'd not bought a ticket for the event, I just opened it to listen and didn't watch any. XD
• 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. Not sure ... will toms be the final Bible Study for the year?
• But after ESS, EM will have their monthly lunch together! I've asked Dr. Esther to please count me in~
• But braced for a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum ... >< *sigh*
• Then fingers crossed dad will take us out for our weekly dinner together!
• Righteo, hopefully see everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 392b

 Heylo again and good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4742 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Major Problem With Minor Sin' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIVE MINUTES online after I visit the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• Lol, wonder why PIG mum doesn't get outta bed earlier? When she comes to hit me with the eye goo, she like RACES out the door afterwards and always says she's late! XD
• After dearest dad had retucked me back into bed and said he'd cook some lunch for me, before returning to happy snorings with Uber, 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*
• Uber and happily snore, me waking twice more for the pot :P before Hannah comes and gives me fifteen more minutes. Only this time I don't get to call out that I'm hungry coz I accidentally fall back asleep. XD
• When Hannah returned, I used the loo for one more tinkle, we got me kitted and I headed over to brush teeth. Ela enjoys her last break this week from having to hold the toothbrush.
• After drinking one mug of water, I sit over the loo. 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 out to the gobbling :P table,,rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.   
• Thanks to dad who cooks ham and eggs for breakfast and leaves me one (not half) a sandwich; thanks also to Hannah who cooks the bread yummy and adds one slice of cheese for me. I enjoy my first mug of white tea, and during and after breakfast I happily read for thirty minutes, reaching pg. 200 @ 11:14am.
• After using the loo for one more tinkle, I climb into Hannah's tank and she tootles me off to Calamvale Central. Turns out Tank can *just* fit underground!
• After buying groceries from Woolies we get sushi from the Japanese place just inside the entrance. One vegie tempura for me; two chicken ones for Hannah.
• After Hannah tootles me home, I turn the alarm off and then take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Hannah who helps me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• I had one tinkle before Hannah flipped the nice 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 when she was giving Wally back to Ela.
• Back outside, Hannah first made me my second mug of white tea with two sugars before reheating lunch for me while I continued reading, reaching pg. 222 @ 1:21pm and finishing pg. 225 @ 1:40pm. Thanks to Hannah who made me one more mug after I finished the second one~
• At 1:55pm, I used the loo once more for two tinkles. Dad came home and presumably Hannah got him to sign her off right away. She's back 9-1 Monday.
• Dad tootled me to church to play ping pong! He was super-lucky: I played thrice with a break between each session but dad played continuously!
• After I got home, I used the loo for one tinkle then headed down to the gobbling :P table and ate my yummy vegie tempura sushi. Dunno why dad wouldn't look for the vanilla chai PIG mum promised I could have for arvo tea but hey. Happiness was reading for a good long while, because it's only Saturdays I can spend a blessed three hours reading~ I finished pg. 250 @ 4:44pm, finished pg. 275 @ 5:32pm and finished pg. 300 @ 6:09! Actually, I read for three hours and four minutes today. XD
• Before returning online, I did a second stinky unspeakable.
• When I'm summoned to dinner, I use the loo for one tinkle before walking myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, again  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.    
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 392

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4525 steps (sweet, I'm not only past 4000 steps I'm even over 4.5 thousand steps and that doesn't happen very often!); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Jesus Prays For Us'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Take The Initiative (1) and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Bold Faith' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-TWO MINUTES online after dinner tonight!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like the previous two nights, nature didn't call until 6:10am and after one pot :P trip I fell back asleep right away since I knew for certain that PIG mum would get noisy one hour later!
• Sure enough, precisely one hour later, noisy PIG mum heads upstairs and gets changed for her half day's work; that's 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*

Friday Post 392d

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 3126 and secondly, the final, final spam count for the weekend's actually 152. Ha, I really cracked 150. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post and watching one YouTube clip featuring Kakashi, I went back to composing my XMas Wishlist.
• 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: getting my weekly sleep-in till 10am when Hannah comes and minds me till 2pm. She says she can take me for walkies to Calamvale Central, so yay for that. On the downside, will haveta turn off the alarm.
• Dearest dad's taking me to play ping pong with CM folk toms arvo! Lol, now that Uncle James has taught me to hit the ball directly over the net without touching my side of the table once, I've had to learn all over again how hard tto hit the ball! My poor dad prolly runs after more balls than he hits. XD

 Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for today! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 2743 and secondly, the potential final, final spam count for the week's now 149. Ooh, will that crack 150 before Friday runs out?? XD Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• Precisely two hours after I'd started online, I got off the computer, skooted my chair over to get myself a spoon for dinner and once back @ the gobbling :P table asked PIG mum can I please have some arvo tea? Gonna read for one hour, see. She comes down and tosses me a banana saying don't disturb her; she's upstairs doing sth important. Score, Ela didn't haveta feed me. XD Turns out Tiff didn't come gimme a session of OT this arvo coz My Rehab Team has some kinda meeting on? But I'm sure she'll be back next week.
• While and after munching the banana I happily read Lian Hearn's novel for one hour, 
• One more loo trip and tinkle for me before I returned online.

Friday Post 392

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2582 steps (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Glorify God By Giving Thanks'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Danger Of Rising Too Quickly' and fourthly, the spam count for the week's 147. Ooh, wonder will that reach 150+ before the night's out?? XD Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until dad woke me when he clunked the marmalade jar down onto the tabletop; 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*
• Usually nature calls hourly after that initial pot :P trip but happiness today was happily snoring until 7:45am when dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently along the hallway and unpopped the lock leading into the garage before waking for the pot :P again.
• After dearest dad kisses me bye, retucks me back into bed and leaves for his hard day's work, Uber and I happily cuddle and snore, me 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 before going back outside and awaiting Amy's arrival.
• When she arrives, she doesn't even say good morning! But she says fifteen more minutes, so Uber doesn't bear bum her and just waves her disdainfully away. XD
• She actually came back too earlier the first time but Uber waved her away and she obediently left, meaning she was spared the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
• When she came back again, I used the pot :P for one more tinkle, we got me kitted and then I headed over to brush teeth. Ela enjoyed another morning of not having to hold the tootbrush while Amy entered the commode; after brushing teeth I sat over the loo for just one tinkle, coming out to the gobbling :P table when I realised I felt like doing a stinky unspeakable.,
• 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 pouring myself one full mug of water, breakfast is one bowl of Sultana Bran, one small slice of that cake I got from Alison yesterday, 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*
• After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely to the loo, again  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.   There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into Amy's passenger seat and she tootles me off to Calamvale Central for walkies and shopping. Dunno why she refused to grab a trolley for us, nor why she kept telling me to walk straighter, but hey. We bought one box of tissues from Woolies, I saw the Hokkien guy for a pork salad roll (when I approached and waved to him, he replied back "Bahn mi?" and I nodded. Next he goes, "Ahh ... pork/chicken?" I reply, "BBQ pork, please. No chilli." While waiting, I lean against the display cabinet with lotsa yummy-looking buns! Best of all, shopping done I had thirty minutes too sit, check my Facebook memories and start playing Candy Crush. XD
• Back home, I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Amy who helped mew rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• I had one tinkle before Amy flips the nice warm water off, get dried, get creamed and have another tinkle. When Amy rekits me, I have one more tinkle when she's helping with Erf's sock and one last when she gives Wally back to Ela. Then I walk myself slowly and safely back out to the gobbling :P table, always  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.   
• Lunch is my yummy pork salad roll and one cup of Chinese tea. Amy cleans the bathroom and then just sits and waits till 1pm, when I sign her off with my thanks and byes. She's back again next Friday, same time.
• Before plopping online, I walk myself slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle,  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.   
• Once I've used up my most important two hours of the day, I'll head over to the gobbling :P table, skoot my chair over to get myself a spoon for dinner, ask PIG mum to please gimme some arvo tea before reading for one hour.
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm bulletin for the 127TH time!
• Toms: can't remember will Hannah/Nisha mind me from 10am till 2pm but dad's taking me to play ping pong @ church afterwards! Looking forward to my three big mugs of white tea and fingers crossed for the chance to read for three hours toms!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3091. Ha, I'm just over three grand. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I just Facebooked. XD
• 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: someone's minding me from 9am till 1pm ... just can't remember who! XD PIG mum also hasn't decided where she'll send us either.
• But she's found Tiff to come gimme an OT session @ like 2pm.
• Planning to spend my most important two hours of the day online, ask PIG mum to feed me some arvo tea, read for one hour and then return online to watch the news for the 127TH time! Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms!

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2856; secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Old Lamplighter' and thirdly, Our Daily ZBread's devotional topic's 'The Will Of GFod'. Anyways, continuing today's events?

• After I'd used up my two most important hours of the day, I started compiling my XMas wishlist for 2021; it's due out Dec. the 1st!
• When the parents summoned me for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle 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 after breakfast for dinner; November has been satisfied TWENTY-FIVE times!!! :D :D :D
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa little tong vegetable, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup potato, a chunk/two of fish and some old chewy chunks of beef that have left me with a tired jaw ... well, I've always had a weak jaw. XD
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl to the sink I walk myself slowly and safely back online, again  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.    
• Anyways, hopefully bbl after one more loo trip with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for Thursday plus what's happening Friday, else wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!

Thursday Post 392b

 Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for Thursday! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for today now stands @ 2575 (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD) but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed EIGHT MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm bulletin (Seven's) for the 126TH time!! Righteo, potential final, final events for Thursday?

• Like clockwork, one hour later noisy PIG mum awakens me for another pot :P trip after she goes a-STOMPING upstairs and gets changed for work, before 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 PIG mum comes and hits me with the eye goo, Karina arrives, says fifteen more minutes and wisely leaves when Uber nods back @ her. XD When she comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who squirts me some toothpaste; Ela enjoys another 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 is one slice of toast smeared with avocado and sprinkled with a little salt, one bowl of Sultana Bran, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Thanks to Karina who turns Today on for my viewing pleasure; 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 visit the loo once more. 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 the passenger seat of Karina's car and she tootles me off to the Garbo library for GCCW!
• After using the loo once, I headed for the first meeting room, only to find it locked and empty? Continuing on, I discovered Ken was setting up inside the second room.
  Eight people attended today and next fortnight's our last of the year! Thanks to Crystal who helped me once to the bathroom @ morning tea break and then grabbed me two more bikkies randomly, meaning I got five bikkies this morning. XD
• Once GCCW ended, Karina took me once more to the loo and then tootled me off to C Cafe @ Sunnybank Plaza, where we were meeting Reverend Chris and Pastor Grace for lunch!
• All the disabled spots upstairs were taken but luckily there was one free downstairs. Only then I was grumpy because the escalator going up was outta order, meaning I had to hike all the way up. >< But then I felt loved because the last free table at the end with the leather sofa seats were free and there was even a 'reserved' sign placed on it! I presumed that was for me and plonked my butt down there. XD
• Today all us ladies had the same lunch special: BBQ duck with rice! Only I added one dollar for a fried egg and Karina added three dollars for fried rice. Pastor Chris got the sticky rice which unfortunately came with shallots (he's intolerant) but luckily they were placed on the side and not like @ Woka where the shallots were mixed in, meaning he had to spend ages picking each slice out. Over lunch we just all chatteds; Pastor Grace says she'll make sure I'm in the small group with my age peers and that Naomi's got two more weeks left of school.
• Lunch finished, I hiked back to Karina's car, she tootled me home and I rang dearest dad.
• After turning off the alarm, I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Karina who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• I had one tinkle before Karina flipped the nice warm water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Karina 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, I pop online while Karina goes and cleans the bathroom before coming back and massaging Ela softly for about ten minutes.
• At 3:30, I head over to the gobbling :P table and sign her off with my thanks and byes. She's back again next Thursday, same time.
• For arvo tea, PIG mum lets me gobble two tiny slices of that HUGE Christmas present Alison gave me during morning tea, 
• Before returning online, I snuck my mobile into the loo and played Candy Crush for the full five tinkles. XD Today I randomly passed like eight levels! XD
• Tonight's ice cream night; yay! Like I say every single week, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Toms: unsure what's happening ... will someone come mind me 9-1 before Tiff comes and gives me one session of OT/will PIG mum help me up, take me somewhere and then come home for lunch before Tiff comes for OT in the arvo and someone comes for my shower from 4-6pm? Righteo, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 391d

 Good evening and really probably one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's really probable final, final plodding total for tonight now stands @ 3402 (aww, not quite 3.5 grand; another day, perhaps! XD); secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Stretcher Bearer' and thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Sharing Hope'. Righteo, really probable final, final events for tonight?

• When Kim hadn't arrived by 5:31pm I remarked to PIG mum, "That's odd. Usually Kim arrives early but doesn't come inside until exactly when her shift starts." PIG mum opoens and peers out the door and replies Kim's just arrived.
• Sure enough, 'twas the inclement weather that had her arriving slightly late. Sparkless3 gets transferred to Kim's boot and yay, dearest dad arrives home for a kiss goodbye in time before we set off.
• We got the free parking, but after Kim setup Sparkless3 and opened my car door - the sleeting rain GUSHED in! "Eep!" I said, immediately reaching forward with Era, grabbing the door and slamming it shut. Kim goes back around to the driver's side and says how about she find paid parking undercover? She doesn't feel safe with me transferring from her car to Sparkless3 in this torrent and will pay half the parking fee. Me: sure!
• We're going to the new room when suddenly someone calls out, "Emily!" I turn in the direction of the voice and say, "Viktor? Thought I heard your voice but where are you?" A huge umbrella gets lowered and Viktor's face peeks out. "Here! Didn't you get Neil's e-mail? Last minute room change! Besides, the door's still locked and we can't get in." Viktor leads us to the new room but it's bucketing down like crazy and the wind's really strong too; Era's holding the umbrella but the wind's blowing it sideways and we're getting wet anyways! Suddenly Vicktor shifts so that his massive umbrella's covering the three of us! XD "Great umbrella; where'd you get one that big from?" I ask. Viktor replies from his kids' swim school!
• We reach the room and yup it's still locked. Viktor, Steph, Aarunan, Kim and me wait. Suddenly Neil rings and says he's stuck on the Kelkvin Grove campus coz the free shuttle bus got cancelled and it's bucketing down over there too! Lol, second consecutive meeting cancelled. XD
• Kim tootles us back to the Warrigal Square Maccas where we each get a Happy Meal with an orange juice but my burger's without the pickle.
• Her shift ends 1.5 hours early since she gets me back home @ 8pm. She's back next Monday 9-1 and then again Tuesday 9-2.
• Toms: hope PIG mum helps me up...
• Perhaps expect a super-pissy plodding total from me? Only seeing Ray for some acupuncture and massage toms arvo ... joining choir practice online from 5:30pm till 6:30pm.
• Best of all, Mr. Hall's coming over for his birthday dinner toms night; PIG mum's baking a cake for him right now!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good afternoon and probably one final greeting for Tuesday! Firstly, Em's probable final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 2742 but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR online after I get home from Toastmasters tonight!! Argh, what a crummy end to an otherwise alright day. >< *sigh* Righteo, just briefly, probable final, final events for tonight

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:10am~
• Hannah minded me from 9am till 1pm. Didn't go out with her today coz the weather's not looking good.
• Physio today with David: ten minutes treadmill walking 0.8km/hr, fifty reaches for Era, fifty reaches for Ela, 100 steps for Erf, three minutes standing practice, thirty bicep curls for Ela,  and twenty laps walking with browsing around.
• Showered after David left: hairwash today. Also thanks to Hannah who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted I sat outside @ the gobbling :P table; when PIG mum hadn't arrived home by 1pm I taught Hannah how to cook me fried rice with leftovers! Only she tipped the oyster sauce and apparently it all rushed out! Well, for once, the fried rice was tasty; usually PIG mum's fried rice'd tasteless.
• Saw Aunty Ann for a comfy massage. I enjoyed her firm ministrations; PIG mum enjoyed yapping ceaselessly @ Aunty Ann.
• Came home, ate one juicy pear and two cookies and cream Pocky sticks for arvo tea - and finished the book club novel @ 4:45pm!
• Returned online.
• Kim's taking me to Toastmasters tonight.
• Toms: hope PIG mum helps me up...
• Perhaps expect a super-pissy plodding total from me; think I've only got to see Ray for acupuncture?

• Oh, will need to edit and send GCCW homework (and don't ask me why the font suddenly went HUGE. XD)
• Choir practice from 5:30pm till 6:30pm~
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!

• After publishing the previous post I started composing the e-mail I'm planning to send to the P.A. toms while also chatting with Alison over Facebook Messenger.
• At 9pm, 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: Hannah's coming again but from 9am till 2pm this time. Presuming PIG mum'll send us to Calamvale Central?

• Seeing Aunty Ann for a comfy massage after Hannah leaves; bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ her. XD Actually, right now she's baking bread to bring her toms; last week 'twas cake! Wonder what it'll be next week, dessert soup?

 Heylo again, good afternoon again and potentially one final greeting for today! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 5016 (ha, I'm just over half a normal person today XD) but secondly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed NINE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm bulletin for the 126TH time!! Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• Usually nature calls every hour after that initial morning pot :P trip, but happiness today was snoring soundly until dearest dad very considerately walked soundlessly along the hallway and unpopped the lock leading into the garage before waking again for the pot  :P again.
• After dearest dad kisses me bye, retucks me back into bed and leaves for his hard day's work, I happily snore, waking once more for the pot :P when noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going out again and awaiting Hannah's arrival @ 9am.
• Oh, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'True Worshipers'.
• When Hannah arrives @ 9am, PIG mum lets her in. She knows the rill: knock, push open door, say fifteen more minutes? and obediently leave when Uber nods @ her. XD
• When Hannah comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Ela enjoys her first break from having to hold the toothbrush~
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for only one tinkle, coming out when I realised I felt like doing a stinky unspeakable. 
• After pouring myself one mug of water, breakfast is one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast with some avocado and sprinkled with a little salt, that full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and one bowl of bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) with WARM MILK coz PIG mum forgot it wasn't porridge!! XD Tasted strange ...  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 Hannah's tank and she tootles me off to Underwood Marketplace, finding a park underground.
• Hannah suggested I dress as Rudolph for the CODA Christmas party; our first stop was to Big W where I bought a cheap pair of shiny golden reindeer ears! 
• Next we went into Woolies, where I bought one box of facial tissues and Hannah bought her own groceries. I've had carers say they're only meant to accompany me buying mine but I always tell them to save yourself from another trip coming back and buy yours now too; besides, I could use the walking practice! 
• Sweet, we then had thirty minutes to sit and play with our mobiles. XD Best of all, Janice and baby Tiffany came to say hi; she's only just over one month old! We also bumped into Yeshi~
• Back home, I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 4% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud.
• I had one tinkle before IHannah 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 when I was drying inside both ears with a tissue.
• Back outside, I made myself a tuna with one slice of cheese toastie for lunch, getting up first to get everything from the fridge and freezer before putting it all into the toastie maker, secondly to get up and flip the toastie and thirdly to bring the toastie back to the gobbling :P table, where I cut it into half.
• Hannah left @ 1pm; she's back toms but this time until 2pm.
• Next PIG mum tootled me off to Market Square Dental to see Kelvin Leung for my six monthly dental clean! I felt loved because (1) the moment the receptionist saw me, she apologised for not having any gossip mags to gimme coz since COVID started they're not provided anymore and (2) when my name was called and I headed into Kelvin's room, after saying hello and taking a seat he immediately gave me one minions toothbrush and toothpaste; <3 the Minions!
• After my clean I went back outside and PIG mum took her turn, while I tried in vain to find Woka Sunnybank's arvo tea menu.
• Instead, I hiked all the way down and past Woka Sunnybank to some dessert place! There I enjoyed my first serve of shaved ice this year, which came with green tea balls, rice balls and pearls! PIG mum got some black sesame dumpling thing and we traded one black sesame dumpling for one spoonful~ The music inside the place was beautiful but lol @ the guy manning the counter who asked us to move outside coz he was taking a thirty minute break. XD
• Mouth frozen, I hiked all the way back to PIG mum's car; she tootled us home, I used the loo for one more tinkle and then I plopped back online.
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 126TH time!
• Toms: Hannah's back again, but from 9am till 2pm this time.
• Seeing Aunty Ann for a comfy massage toms arvo; I'm looking forward to her firm ministrations and bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ her. XD
• Think it's Nisha taking me to Toastmasters @ 5:30pm? Fingers crossed it doesn't get cancelled again! XD
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2738 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Gravity Of Gratitude' 'To Be Godly Is To Be Good (3)'  but fourthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and FORTY-SIX MINUTES online after I see Kelvin for my six-monthly dental clean!! Anyways, events for today?

• Aww, my awesome sleep streak ended @ 12:35am this morning, when nature poked me awake and demanded I use the pot. :P Nature called again @ 6:10am, and after another 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,
  Em. ^^

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 4296 and secondly, the final, final spam count for the weekend's now sixty-one. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• 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: Hannah's minding me 9am till 1pm. Dunno where PIG mum's sending us. 

• Seeing Kelvin for my sixth-monthly teeth clean @ like 2pm. I'm disappointed coz in the past I'd often have lunch @ Wing Gei (now Woka Sunnybank) afterwards but PIG mum's being mean this time around and has already refused. *sigh* Will try asking her instead can I hike all the way down for arvo tea then, and I'll promise not to eat again until dinner.

• And fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm bulletin for the 126TH time!

• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 4113 (sweet, I think that's the third consecutive day I've passed four grand); secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "It Is Well With My Soul" and thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Labrador Angel'. Anyways, continuing events for tonight?

• Then I took a nice warm shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song slowly, softly but ,ost hatefully out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was all done after only 10% but happily leaned fully against the side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before flipping the nice warm water off.
• After PIG mum dried my back and the back of the chair, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until my bra strap needed doing, Elf's AFO straps needed tying and both shoelaces needed tying.
• After drying the toilet seat, I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, washed and dried Era and then walked myself slowly and safely back online,   rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.    
• When PIG mum said dinnertime, I used the loo for one ,ore tinkle and climbed into the back of dad's 4WD.
• Dinner tonight was @ Ho Lin Wah. I got about half a bowl of rice, half a bowl of egg noodles and half a bowl of vermicelli. Thinking of getting the fried udon come Thursday because I'm not a big fan of thin noodles!
• After dad tootled us home, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely online, again   rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.    
• Anyways, fingers crossed I can bbl after one last loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for tonight, the final, final events for Monday, the final, final spam count for the week plus what's happening Monday, else hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3249 and secondly, the potential final, final spam count for the weekend's now fifty-seven. Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• The moment I reached my pissy two hour time limit, I immediately switch to editing my homework for our next GCCW meeting.
• When PIG mum tumbled downstairs from pigland, she immediately and gleefully forced me offline.
• First, I had to let her gleefully FORCE :*( me on five rounds of the Clock Yourself exercise (colours) for her.
• Sorry, correction: before that, I let her gleefully force me on the dumbbell exercises that Jacky the physio had taught me.
• Seated, I then had to let her gleefully force poor Ela to feed me some mango. I'm just proud/relieved that I finished all this before dad got home, meaning PIG mum didn't get the chance to show off to dad how much power she's got over me, ha. XD
• Then I took a nice warm shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair 
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2452 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional from last night's 'Five Reasons Death Is Gain'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'To bE Gofly Is To Be Good (2)' and fourthly, the spam count for the weekend's already fifty-five. Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 24TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Since I had to let PIG mum gleefully boot me off to bed so early, I'd already fallen asleep and awoken with a full bladder, but since 'twas only 11:55pm then, I quickly used the pot :P once and was back into bed before the new day arrived, ha! XD Nature didn't call until 6:00am and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since I knew for certain PIG mum would start getting noisy one hour later!
• One hour later, nature calls again and after another pot :P tripI 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* 
• Around the same time, PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around; soon she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with not only the bra strap but the tee (since dearest dad's still @ home) 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 and both laces, after which 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.
• After pouring myself one mug of water, breakfast is one bowl of plain porridge with one slice of cake that PIG mum baked and took to her colleague's retirement party last night, 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*
• 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 sit outside and wait for Fi's arrival. When she gets here, before driving us to the Lung residence for small group, she goes through the drive-thru @ Maccas and gets a DOUBLE bacon 'n' egg McMuffin meal; wow, I never knew you could get one! Now I'm hoping Santa will bring me one for christmas~
• Seven people met today for a Bible study from Hebrews 11-12:3. Pastor Grace even gave everyone one slice of lemon sponge cake with cream!
• Afterwards, Fi tootled me back to church, I used the loo for one tinkle and then grabbed my usual spot for ESS.
• Yay, stayed seated for worship today. Sang everything plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Reverend Chris; his sermon title was 'Sinner' and afterwards, Doug got baptised!
• Used loo for one tinkle and then had a Happy Meal for lunch @ Maccas with dad, who had a double Filet-O-Fish.
• Came home, used loo once more and popped online.
• Dad had better take us out for Chinese food tonight and gimme ONE bowl of rice!
•  Toms: can't remember is someone coming to mind me from 9-1 and what we'll do/is someone coming from 4-6 and PIG mum'll take me out to do sth. Should have lunch home with dearest dad though, and might even get to watch the 6pm bulletin for the 126TH time!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
