Monday Post 301d

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! With a final, final plodding total of 3500, lemme just cover final, final events for Tuesday?

• When the parents summoned me over for dinner @ 8:08pm, I used the loo for one tinkle and 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  
• Toon leen farn tonight: the usual (rice, lotsa yummy wombok, lotsa some other vegetable, lotsa some third vegetable, some yummy tofu, half a slice of special sausage) and dessert was a pocket of Peking duck, delicious!
• 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.    
• PIG mum was accusing me of sth about Leanne being sick of me? I dunno; I just passed her my mobile to trawl through my Hangouts; @ 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 9-1. Unsure where PIG mum will send us.
• Before seeing Aunty Ann for a comfy massage, I've got a telephone consult with Dr. Jatinda. Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to bag me out; me? Planning to take it like water off a duck's back. XD
• I'm looking forward to seeing Aunty Ann for a comfy massage toms; bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap @ her. XD
• Fingers crossed PIG mum'll leave me alone to spend my most important two hours of the day online, will feed me some arvo tea and lemme read for one hour! I didn't get to today coz I was making turnip cake with her!
• Fingers crossed also that I can watch the 6pm bulletin for the 18TH time toms!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing Tuesday!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Heylo again and potentially one final greeting total for Monday! With a plodding total of 3500, lemme just cover potential final, final events for tonight?

• The moment I reached my two hour net time limit, I got offline, headed to the gobbling :P table and asked PIG mum for some arvo tea; I wanna read for one hour!
• PIG mum passed me one deliciously juicy pear and one delicious mug of vanilla chai but I didn't get to read for one hour coz I said I'd help PIG mum make turnip cake for toms!
• i poured ingredients, stirred mixture and squirted water from turnips before standing @ the stove and cooking everything! Only Wally (which PIG mum had transferred to Era) has a metal clasp and I got like burnt! o__O Not too worry, PIG mum the RN ordered I hold arm under running water and then she got an ice brick and said put that on your arm. Luckily, no visible marks, just kinda tender.
• I used the loo for one tinkle before returning online.
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner (dad bought Peking Duck for toon leen farn!) else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 301

 Goos afternoon! WTF this Wally PIG mum got me reset himself and she won't get me a new one because she says we're broke?! I'm like can't you just use my DSP? PIG mum screeches that only covers the basic necessities ... >< It's alright for her, coz standing and walking come as naturally to her like breathing, hence why she just like REFUSES to TRY and even understand how much effort it takes me to just walk ONE step, which is why I need to wear pedometers/watches coz they'll gimme a tangible number about how hard I've struggled that day! >< Firstly, I'll just login today's plodding total @ 3500; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Prevailing Grace' and thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Taking In And Giving Out'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature 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*

•  Usually nature calls every hour after that initial pot :P trip, but happiness today was snoring happily till 7:45am when dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently along the hallway and unpopped the lock into the garage before waking for another pot :P trip.

• After dearest dad kisses me bye, retucks me into bed and leaves for his hard day's work, I happily snore for another hour, waking once more for the pot :P shortly before 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 out and awaiting Karina's arrival @ 9am.

• Only when she doesn't arrive by 9:10am, I ring CODA, asking please to speak to Michelle. Karina arrives five minutes later; apparently the shift doesn't start till 9:15am?

• After my fifteen more minutes, I get kitted then head over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who squirts some toothpaste for me. Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for only one tinkle, coming out when I feel like doing a stinky unspeakable.

• Breakfast is one bowl of bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD), one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast with spread avocado and sprinkled with a little salt), all my 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 Karina who turns on the television for my viewing pleasure~

• After breakfast, 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 washing and drying Era, I climb into Karina's car and she tootles me off for my first session of NAB physio @ UQ for 2022!

• My new student's called Hayley, she's from Hong Kong like meshe's only twenty-two! Physio today: two rounds of Clock Yourself (colours), two 10m walk tests, one six minute walk test and Sonia did a prelim check for Elf. She says she'll measure Elf properly next session but on first thoughts I don't need any more Botox yet.

• After using the loo for one more tinkle Karina tootled me home and I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Karina who helped me rinse out my hair, 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 helping with Erf's sock and one last when she was giving Wally back to Ela.

• Back outside, lunch was one bowl of yummy Hokkien noodles with lots vegies and a little meat. Sadly, 'twas rather tasteless. XD Lunch was washed down with one cup of honey/lemon ginger water.

• Before Karina left @ 2pm I used the loo once more for two tinkles. She's back Thursday and taking me shopping!

• Once I've used up my most important two hours online, I'll head over to the gobbling :P table and make turnip cake with PIG mum!

• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,Em. ^^

Sunday Post 301c

 Good evening and definitely one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ sth like 4056 (ha, I'm just over four grand XD); secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "Grieving God's Heart"; thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'unanswered Prayers' and fourthly, the final, final spam count for the weekend's now twenty-two. Righteo, just briefly final, final events for tonight?

• Let PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela to feed me a banana before I took a nice hot shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 15% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted I returned online briefly before being sent to the loo coz 'twas dinner time.
• Like two night's ago, we went back to the Sunnybank Sports And Community Club coz it's more spacious. Dad has already said on Thursday I must buy takeaway home to eat. I don't mind; I just need my HK-style milk tea! XD
• Back home I did a stinky unspeakable coz I hadn't done one yet.
• Toms: NAB physio resumes for me. Karina's helping me up @ 9am, will drive me there and back and see me showered before leaving @ 1/2pm.
• Can't remember if it's toms/the day after that I'm having a teleconsult with Dr. Jatinda? Bet PIG mum's DYING to bag me out; me, I'm just planning to take it like water off a duck's back. XD
• No more afternoon appointments but I think PIG mum said we're gonna make turnip cake for CNY?
• Will hopefully get to read for one hour and fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 17TH time!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3343 (aw, how come I couldn't have plodded ten fewer steps? 3333 would've sounded cooler! XD) and secondly, the potential final, final spam count for the weekend's now nineteen. Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• Lol, PIG mum was so DESPERATE to gleefully boot me offline and gleefully forcing me on doing stupid things for her she already started bugging me about getting offline when I still had like THIRTY MINUTES left!! I just studiously ignored her and watched the 4th episode of The Silver Brumby.
• Once that was over, I let PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk outside and let her gleefully force mostly poor Ela to take down the day's washing; I HATES standing practice! Even worse, I then had to let her gleefully force me to bend down FOUR times to bend down to the ground and pick up all the pegs stupid Ela had clumsily dropped; unsure why she wouldn't lemme kick them all together before just bending down once and retrieving them? Nah, but she's spiteful like that. >< *sigh*
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 301

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I('ve been hard @ work plodding 1667 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Caused To Return'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Speak Life To Their Spirit (2)'; fourthly, the spam count for the week's actually ninety-one and fifthly, the spam count for the weekend's eighteen. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:50am, 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* 
• Only the carer didn't come @ 8:30am; @ 8:45am PIG mum poked me awake and said she'd put my AFO on, do both laces and then leave me some breakfast coz she was attending the Canto service live stream @ 9am! 
• Thankfully, the carer arrived just as PIG mum was reaching for Elf's AFO.
• I went to the bathroom, brushed teeth, sat over the loo for one tinkle and then sat down @ the computer; SG started @ 9am and 'twas already 8:58am!  Meaning I had breakfast in front of the monitor; Pastor Grace did say, "Em, we can't see you?" but I explained it prolly didn't look very polite to be eating in front of a Zoom meeting hence why I turned the camera off but would rejoin in person once I'd finished eating. Can still hear me, though!
• Best of all, after SG started, the carer wandered over and asked anything else I can get for you?" I tried my luck. "White tea with two sugars, please!" She couldn't find the sugar but got the honey instead; score!
• This morning Reverend Chris went through some outline about how small group would happen this year and then Pastor Grace said we'd all take turns sharing our testimonies. She started with her own this week; think I'm giving mine the fortnight after? 
• SG ended with a group prayer; I sat over the loo thinking I'd do a stinky unspeakable but nothing came out so just tinkled a few times.
• After washing and drying Era I climbed into the carer's car and she tootled me off to BCAC. Gosh, I'm more than one DECADE older than her; she's only twenty-three!
• At church, I used the loo for one more tinkle and then signed the carer off with my thanks and byes after grabbing my usual spot for service.
• Stayed seated for service today and sang everything plus the harmony for both songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Peter from the Con (electric guitarist). His sermon topic was gospel partnership.
  
• After service I used the loo for one tinkle and then dad tootled me off to the Rochedale Maccas and got me a Happy Meal while he had a Big Mac meal. Hence why I'm still hungry...
• Got home, used the loo once for one tinkle and popped online.
• Once I'm used up my most important two hours for the day, I'll head over to the gobbling :P table and read for one hour. Hopefully PIG mum'll feed me some arvo tea.
• Dad had better take us out for Chinese food for dinner tonight and gimme ONE bowl of rice!
• Toms: UQ NAB physio resumes! Hannah's coming 9am till 2pm I think? Appointment's usually 11am.
• She'll see me showered and fed with lunch before leaving; in the arvo I've got a telehealth appointment with Dr. Jatinda. PIG mum's prolly DYING to bag me out. >< That's alright; will take it like water off a duck's back. XD
• Shouldn't have anything happening afterwards; planning to spend my most important two hours of the day online, eat some arvo tea, read for one hour and then watch the 6pm bulletin for the 17TH time!
• Anyways, fingers crossed I can bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 301d

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! With a final, final plodding total of 4194, lemme just cover final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I Facebooked, listened to YouTube videos and blogged.
• 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: just church, definitely nothing special. Someone's meant to help me up @ 8:30pm and take me to church for ESS @ 11am but unfortunately, the roster only says TBA ... hope someone comes, coz isn't SG restarting via Zoom toms?
• Would love lunch out with other ESS people toms but Reverend Chris hasn't decided when we're having our once monthly lunch together ... may haveta content myself with another pissy little Happy Meal ... *sigh*
• Braced then for a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum ... *another sigh*
• Hopefully dad will take us out for dinner toms night; if he doesn't it's coz PIG mum's desperately enforcing her rule that I'm only allowed one dinner out per week ... *three consecutive sighs*
• Righteo, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 301c

 Good evening! Firstly, I've already logged in Saturday's plodding total @ 4194; secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Worry'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• Precisely two hours after I started online I got offline and headed over to the gobbling :P table. Since PIG mum had already gone upstairs and hit the sack, I waited until dearest dad came inside and asked him please to gimme my arvo tea sushi and one mug of vanilla chai, delicious!
• Luckily, PIG mum randomly came downstairs and I asked her to get the 3rd Herriot book for me, since I'd finished the 2nd @ 4:32pm! Happily reading the 3rd, I reached pg. twenty-five @ 5:14~
• After using the loo for one more tinkle, I was gonna watch the 6pm bulletin from the computer but the stupid live stream didn't load! >< Thanks to PIG mum who turned on the telly for me; turns out 'twas only thirty minutes long today coz Barty's playing the Aus. Open women's finals tonight!
• I returned briefly online but was summoned to dinner by PIG mum. Before joining the parents @ the gobbling :P table, I walked myself once to the loo slowly and safely once, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.    
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa choy sum, some tofu and a lil pork.
• Dinner was washed down with one bowl of soup; PIG mum's newest method of making life difficult for me's to order I washup my own bowl and fork. I don't really mind; Era quickly does it, and I fully lean forwards against the benchtop XD
• That done, 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, fingers crossed I can bbl after one last loo trip @ 9pm with the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening Sunday, else looking forward to seeing @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1281 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'How To Repent' and thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Speak Life To Their Spirit (1)'. Anyways, events for today?

• Aww, my awesome sleep streak ended when my idiot bladder nudged me awake @ 12:20am and demanded I use the pot. :P Nature called again around 6am; 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* 
• Sweet, then I happily snore until PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs before waking again for the pot! Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Vicki's arrival. When she's outsie, 

I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*

When Vicki arrives she gives Pandan and me fifteen more minutes but I fall back asleep anyway. XD

• After using the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Thanks to Vicki who squirts some toothpaste for me; Ela enjoys her last official break this week.
• 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 had out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast. Thanks to dearest dad who's cooked some ham and eggs; thanks also to Vicki who cooks the bread crunchy with butter and adds one slice of cheese for me. I pop all my usual drugs :P and read for thirty minutes first up.
• While Vicki locked up, I used the loo for one more tinkle before climbing into her passenger seat. Vicki tootled us off to Underwood Marketplace.
• Couldn't get any facial tissues, so just got a kaarage chicken sushi from Sushi Creators for arvo tea.
• Back home, I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Vicki who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• I had one tinkle before Vicki flipped the nice warm water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Vicki rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was helping with Elf's AFO straps and one last when she was drying my glasses after washing them for me.
• Back outside, Vicki made me my second mug of white tea with one spoonful of honey, then reheated lunch for me before cleaning the bathroom. I continued reading, reaching pg. 100 @ 1:05pm and finishing pg. 222 @ 1:54pm.
• At 1:55pm I used the loo for two more tinkles, before signing Vicki off with my thanks and byes. She's not back again until next Friday, 9-1.
• After I've used up my most important two hours of the day online, I'll head over to the gobbling :P table and finish the second James Herriot book!
• Toms: just church, nothing special. Dunno will someone take me/PIG mum help me up.
• isn't toms arvo our once monthly EM lunch together after service?

• When the parents arrived home from walkies I was happily watching episode three of The Silver Brumby; after it ended I used the loo for one more tinkle and hopped into the backseat of dad's 4WD.
• Aunty A was waiting for us @ the Sunnybank Sports And Community Club; after showing our vax proof and signing in, we walked into the restaurant and sat @ the very furthest corner. Suppose dad wanted to avoid being too close to other patrons.
• As usual, I only got piss little, but Aunty A shouted! Dad and I said lotsa thankyous~
• She came back home with us; while I used the loo once and dad moved the car into the garage, PIG mum and Aunty A got the cake ready!
• After we'd sung the birthday song for dearest dad and he'd cut the cake (i'd told dad he'd haveta kiss the nearest person ofvthe opposite sex if he touched the bottom of the cake with his first slice; dad deliberately touched the bottom and then turned around and gave me a big kiss <3) we all tucked in! Turns out I'm not really a fan of chestnut but the cake was nice and fluffy~ Dad also made us cups of white tea.
• Once I finished my slice I used the loo for one more tinkle and returned online.
• Toms: Vicki's minding me from 10am till 2pm. She says we can go to some shopping centre, grab a trolley and go walkies (coz I've said since she's pregnant I don't want her walking behind me, if I ever fell, squashed her and hurt jellybean I'd never forgive myself! ><).
• Still no table tennis so I'm looking forward to reading for three hours; think I'll ask PIG mum to get me out the third book coz I'm well through the second one!
• Also looking forward to my three big mugs of white tea with two sugars! Seriously, the white tea's the only thing I miss about life outside the insane asylum. XD
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 301c

 Good evening! Argh, idiot Wally has already fainted from flat battery; gonna login Thursday's plodding total @ 3286; secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "There's No Place Like Home" and thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Not Holding Grudges'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• Aww, Connor the german shepherd was @ doggy daycare today, but physio with Jacky was reaching for Ela, reaching for Era, theraband pulling and 15:01 riding exercise bike.
• Dad was home when we arrived home! PIG mum fed me some arvo tea, I used the loo for one tinkle and then popped online to watch the 6pm news bulletin!
• When the parents summoned me for dinner I used the loo for one tinkle and 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.  
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa choy sum, two huge chunks of soup carrot, two little chunks of tofu and a little chicken/pork.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking that and the spoon to the sink and washing them, 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 brb after one more loo trip with my final, final plodding total for tonight, the final, final events for Friday plus what's happening Friday, else wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 301b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3086. Ha, I'm just over three grand. XD Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• Nature calls again one hour later; 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*

• When Karina arrives, she knocks, enters and says good morning; when Pandan nods @ her she goes, "Oh, you're new!" I wave Pandan in a 'shoo' motion and she laughs. "Okay, okay. Fifteen more minutes." XD
• After Karina comes back, we get me kitted and I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who squirts me some toothpaste; Ela enjoys her first official break. Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for just one tinkle, coming out when I realise I feel like doing a stinky unspeakable.
• Breakfast is one bowl of yummy flaky bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD), one slice of toast with avocado and some 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* Also thanks to Karina who turns on Sunrise for my viewing pleasure~
• After breakfast, 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 washing and drying Era, I climb into Karina's passenger seat and she tootles me off to the first GCCW for 2022!
• Only six people attended today (Stan and Crystal didn't coz they're anti-vaxxers whole Alison's getting her booster jab). Thanks to Pat who helped me once to the bathroom and got me some morning tea; our word for the day was 'non sequitor' (sp?) and our next homework topic's 'writ a story without punctuation'. How will I manage 400 words?!
• Our meeting ended two minutes early today. After Karina takes me to the toilet once more, she tootles us off to Woka Warrigal to buy takeaway. Since PIG mum didn't want me going in for fear of community transmission, I stayed inside the car while Karina went into the restaurant to take mobile photos of the set lunch menu; after she's texted me them I choose the deep fried two minute noodles with pork chop and a cold HK-style cold milk tea coffee and then she returns into the store to await and pickup our takeaway.
• It's only seven/eight minutes from Woka Warrigal to the Mok residence! I'd asked Fiona please to warn Callum for me please NOT to thundering down the hallway after I knocked coz I didn't want him tripping and hurting himself; instead, he came outside and met me at the door!
• Ronnie was @ home too coz he's taking some leave right now! Over lunch we just all chatted; Callum's such a talented builder and he kept bring me all the things he'd built with magnets!
• By the time Karina got me home, there was only time to take my quickest possible shower! Thanks also to Karina who quickly cleaned the bathroom before leaving~
• I'd only just booted the computer up when PIG mum said time to see Jacky for physio. I climbed into the backseat of her 4WD and she tootled me off to Breathe Physio.
• Fingers crossed I can bbl, coz I'm still owed THREE MINUTES online!!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! With a final, final plodding total of 3413, lemme just note down final, final events for Wednesday?

• After publishing the previous post I edited my latest blog post and chatted over Whatsapp with Uncle Slam; cripes, his mum's tested positive for COVID over a RAT test! But luckily she's asymptomatic ...
• At 9pm, I walk 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: Karina's taking me to the first GCCW meeting for 2022!
• Gonna buy takeaway from Woka Warrigal and crash the Mok residence for lunch!

• When I was summoned for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table,  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Either parent microwaved me two tablespoonfuls of rice for dinner (since I need rice for dinner); I also had half a slice of pizza and just over half a slice of garlic bread.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowlful of soup; after taking my bowl over to the sink 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
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after one more loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for Wednesday, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening TThursday, else hope everyone's having a smashing week!
  Cheers,

Wednesday Post 301c

 Good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Since stupid Wally reset himself, I'm just gonna login Wednesday's final, final plodding total for Wednesday @ 3363 (aww, should've plodded thirty less steps today, since 3333 would've looked cooler! XD) and cover the potential final, final events for tonight?

• After having rice leftovers for lunch, both parents went over to the sofa and took an afternoon nap! Since I had my mobile with me, I just played Candy Crush type games until 2:40pm, when I asked PIG mum what time were we gonna head out? She replied wait for dad to awake first. Luckily he awoke very shortly afterwards and tootled us back to the piddly little lighthouse out @ Brighton!
• Arvo tea was fish and chips and two tiny slices of pizza; wonder why the workers aren't taught to slice the pieces evenly? Other that, or dad deliberately ripped a smaller slice forb me. *sigh*
• PIG mum and I both used the bathroom afterwards, after which I was ready to head home but no, dad had spotted some kinda ornamental turtle and demanded we take photos with it, before he demanded we take more photos @ the lighthouse. Not a fan, but hey.
• Back home, I took a nice warm shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 15% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
• After PIG mum dried my back and the back of the chair for me, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until Elf's AFO straps needed doing and both laces needed tying.
• After I dried the loo lid, I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, washed and dried Era and then returned online.
• Anyways, fingers crossed I can bbl after dinner, else hope everyone's having a smashing week!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 301b

 Heylo again and please excuse the first post; you know I get too excited whenever I get the chance to post online before midday. XD Firstly, today I've only been hard @ work plodding 696 steps (but will hopefully leave the house later so should have a more comprehensive plodding total to enter afterwards); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Delayed Deliverances' and thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Remember What You Used To Be Like? (1) but fourthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed  online for later!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 13TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:10am 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* 

•  Then I had an INCREDIBLE snore and didn't wake again until dearest dad left for swimming around 9:45am! Immediately after he'd left, PIG mum barged inside my room and ordered me up; I could tell that she'd rolled outta bed the wrong way today and mentally braced myself for a difficult day @ her hands while I got 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 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 I realise I feel like doing a stinky unspeakable.
• After pouring myself one full mug of water, breakfast is one bowl of bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD), one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast with avocado smeared over it and a tiny shake of salt, all my usual drugs :P and that 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* 'Twas indeed a difficult day @ the hands of horrid PIG mum; she sat down opposite me and started lambasting me about how she did 98% of everything for me! I beg to differ: sure, she may have done the bra strap up for me, but I got the rest of myself mostly independently kitted; sure, she may have done Elf's AFO straps for me, but 'twas I who lifted the leg, held it up there in position while she placed the AFO under then bent knee and held the thigh in while she only did the straps up, sure, she prepared breakfast for me but 'twas me who attended to personal care (brush teeth, sit over loo) while she did that and walked 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 finished, I walk myself slowly and safely online, again  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.   There, I note down that I've had to put the toilet lid down for PIG mum after doing a number two before actually sitting over the loo and doing it. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

• After washing and drying Era, I walk myself slowly and safely online, always  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.   

• PIG mum's just returned home from swimming and has gone upstairs to shower. Unfortunately, she didn't leave her snarky attitude @ the pool; the moment she came back inside, she was bitching @ poor dad about sth trivial/other. *sigh*
• I can hear dad turning the stove and microwave on; guess he's reheating leftovers for our lunch?
• Unsure where we'll head afterwards (if anywhere).
• Toms: it's the first GCCW for 2022! I've sent my homework to PIG mum; hopefully she'll remember to print it out for me.
• Even better: Karina and I will buy takeaway from Woka Warrigal and then crash the Mok residence for lunch!
• Karina will see me home and showered before leaving @ like 3:30.
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else hope everyone's having a smashing week!

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Firstly, I've already logged in Tuesday's plodding total @ 4057; secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Who's Stronger?" and thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Loving God'. Righteo,  just briefly, final, final events for tonight?

• Came home, munched arvo tea and popped online.
• Our first Toastmasters meeting for 2022 got cancelled; instead, I watched the 6pm bulletin (Nine's) for the 15TH time!
• Had the usual dinner with the parents.
• Drank soup but didn't return online afterwards coz the parents had sat on the couch to watch the Australian Open; my mobile was still on the table and I just played all my Candy Crush lives away. XD
• 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.    
• It's Australia Day! No physio! :D Unfortunately, that also means no support. >< *sigh*
• Dad had better take us out somewhere; if I'm not outta bed by 10am I'm gonna STAY IN BED ALL DAY and not get up till 5:50pm to watch the 6pm news!! XD
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!

Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 300c

 WTF idiot Wally paused himself like thirty minutes into the day! >< Taking last Tuesday's plodding total for today, then: 4057. Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• After dearest dad kisses me goodbye, retucks me into bed and leaves for his hard day's work, I happily snore for about another hour, waking once more for the pot :P shortly before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself inside to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside to await Vicki's arrival @ 9am.
• When Vicki gets here, I'm given my fifteen more minutes, use the pot :P for one more tinkle, get kitted and head over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Thanks to Vicki who squirts me some toothpaste.
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for just one tinkle, coming out when I realise I feel like doing a stinky unspeakable. Breakfast is one bowl of bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran), one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread thinly with avocado and sprinkled with a little 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/an 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 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 washing and drying Era, I pop online briefly and await David's arrival.

• Physio today: ten minutes treadmill walking 0.8km/hr, fifty reaches for Era, fifty reaches for Ela, 100 steps for Erf, three minutes standing practice and twenty laps hallway walking.

• After Vicky saw David out, I headed into the bathroom and took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Vicki who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

• I had one tinkle before Vicki flipped the nice hot water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Vicky 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, PIG mum cooked flat noodles! That was with lots yummy kailan, lotsa dearest dad's home-grown melon and a little yummy meat brisket.

• After Vicky leaves (she's back Friday 9am till 1pm) I pop online briefly until it's time to see Aunty Ann for a comfy massage.

• Aww, today PIG mum brought Aunty Ann a big melon she and dearest dad had grown! Too bad I didn't get the chance to ask her please to take a photo and send me... Anyways, I used the loo for one tinkle and lay down for a comfy massage. PIG mum was in her element, yapping ceaselessly @ Aunty Ann; my grateful thanks to Aunty Ann who always replied and kept a conversation going.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Watching the Nine news bulletin for the 15TH time!

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*

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3506 (ha, I'm just over 3.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Heavenly Citizenship'. Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• Then I happily snore all the way until 7:45am, when dearest dad very thoughtfully walks silently along the hallway and unpops the lock 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, I happily snore for about another hour, waking once more for the pot :P shortly before 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 Vicki's arrival @ 9am.
• When she arrived, she gave me fifteen more minutes but stupid me fell back asleep! Only lightly, though; the second Vicki tapped me gently on the shoulder I awoke and got up.
• After using the pot :P for one more tinkle, we got me kitted and I headed over to the bathroom and brushed teeth. Thanks to Vicki who squirted me some toothpaste. Teeth brushed, I sit briefly over the loo for only one tinkle, coming out when I realise I feel like doing a stinky unspeakable
• Fingers crossed I can bbl, since I'm still owed THIRTY-FOUR MINUTES online!!
  Cheers,

Monday Post 300

 Good afternoon!

Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 11TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:10am 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* Actually I see that my monthlies have arrived but don't bother calling upstairs to let PIG mum know about it, coz I'm already wearing a pad and besides, since she's upstairs snoring her head off it'd be dad who came to help me; how embarrassing! XD

Sunday Post 300d

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, I've already logged in Sunday's plodding total @ 2788; secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Things Above' and thirdly, the final, final spam count for the weekend's now forty. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I Facebooked for five minutes.
• 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: Vicki's minding me from 9am till 1pm. Think PIG mum's sending us to Underwood MarketPlace; my very important mission tomorrow: buy myv dearest dad a present for his birthday come Friday!!~
• Vicki will see me showered and fed with lunch before leaving @ 1pm. Fingers crossed I can spend my most important two hours of the day online, munch arvo tea (so fingers crossed PIG mum'll lemme buy a sushi roll for that toms ... or, maybe, a bun from the bakery coz the sushi place seems open and closed all the time?), read for one hour and then watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 14TH time!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Eep, even though I've barely pressed him, this stupid Wally has already fainted from battery loss! >< He's no good anyway; PIG mum's already ordered me a new one since his strap's inferior and has already started breaking. Will just take last Sunday's plodding total for tonight: 2788. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• Once summoned for dinner, I used the loo for one more tinkle and then climbed into the backseat of dad's 4WD. The moment he climbed into the car I asked could we please eat Chinese and would he please gimme half a HK-style milk tea coz I hadn't enjoyed one back on Thursday since I was having pizza @ The Glen with Mr. BZurvill and Mrs. Burvill-Shaw! Alas, dad refuses and tootles us back to the Sunnybank Sports and Community Club. I'm not a fan of that place coz it's such a long walk inside ...
• But the parents ordered that little saucer of rice for me (and I had just over two full mouthfuls) and I got to order a topper with the parmy, how cool!
• Back home, I used the loo for one more tinkle 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.    
• Anyways, hopefully brb after one last loo trip with my final, final plodding total for today (oh I've already set it), the final, final spam count for the weekend, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 300b

 Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ only 922 (but I'm certain I'll have cracked one grand before the day's out XD) and secondly, the potential final, final spam count for the weekend's now thirty-seven. Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• Precisely two hours after beginning my two most important hours of the day, I got offline and called upstairs to PIG mum could she please feed me some arvo tea?
•  She could, but before I munched four little yummy green tea Hello Panda bikkies and drank one mug of ginger lemon infusion water, I had to let her gleefully force poor Ela to force me to feed a banana first. Not that I really minded, coz I was seated and could fully concentrate; besides, Ela finished the task before dearest dad got home from badminton and arvo tea with his mates, meaning PIG mum didn't get the chance to show off to him how much power she has over me, ha.
• Took a nice warm shower afterwards - I washed and rinsed my hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was all done after 11% but happily leaned against the side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before turning the nice warm water off and calling PIG mum back.
• After she dried my back and the back of the chair for me, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until my bra strap needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed doing and both laces needed tying.
• After I dried the loo lid, I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, washed and dried Era 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.   
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Oh, potential final, final plodding total for Sunday's actually 1135. See? Told you I'd crack one grand. XD
  
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 300

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've only been hard @ work plodding 836 steps (but trusting I'll have cracked @ least one grand before the day's out); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic's 'We Will Rule All Things'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Relationships (2); fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'This Is Grace' and fifthly, the spam count for the weekend's already thirty-four. Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 10TH consecutive awesome sleep last night!! Nature didn't call until 6:05am 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* 
• Before Kim arrives @ 8:30am, PIG mum's a-THUMPING around wakes me for another pot :P trip; soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo.
• When Kim arrives, she knocks, pushes open the door, says good morning and fifteen more minutes? Uber nods @ her and she leaves; when she comes back 2.5 minutes too early Uber stiffly sends her away again and she retreats without protest. XD
• When Kim comes back a second time, we get me kitted and I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Ela enjoys her third straight break from having to hold the toothbrush, score!
• After sitting over the loo for one tinkle, I walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.    
• OMG, the parents left me ONE WHOLE 'marn tul' (dsy that in Canto) for breakfast; there was even a tiny little dipper of condensed milk to dunk it in! It was so handsome I immediately had to take a photo of him. XD I also drank one full mug of water, popped all my usual drugs ::P and munched one bowl of flaky bird food (what Dr. Ku calls bird food. 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* Today, Kim wouldn't massage Ela because she's afraid of COVID transmission but I happily read the second James Heriot novel for one hour, finishing page seventy-five @ exactly 9:45pm!After Kim slathers sunscreen over my Face, 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 Kim's passenger seat and she tootles me off to BCAC for ESS, helping me once to the loo and seeing me seated before leaving like six months early. I'll not see her for awhile now coz she's taking like annual leave! But she said text me your birthday and I'll bring you a present! I cheered fried chicken! Kim smirked and immediately shot back, no. Sushi. XD
• Yay I got to stay seated for worship today. I sang everything, plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Andrew Prince; his sermon title was Songs Of Our Salvation. Reverend Chris led communion afterwards and service ended twenty-one minutes today.
• Used the loo for one tinkle and then sat outside and munched the Happy Meal while dad helped decorate the church coz apparently they're planning sth for CNY? Thanks to Dr. Lee who got a serviette for me, since today the cheeseburger was DRIPPING with tomato sauce and I had like a big smudge of it over my right cheek. XD
• Dad tootled me home, I used the loo for one tinkle and then popped online. PIG mum also popped me two Nurofen for my stupid achey head; I think it's actually working for once! *wow*
• After I've used up my two most important hours of the day I'll head over to the gobbling :P table and yell upstairs to PIG mum for some arvo tea please. Ooh, I may even get to read for another hour!
• Fingers crossed dad takes us somewhere for Asian food tonight; I didn't get HK-style milk tea this week coz I had pizza with Mrs. Burvill-Shaw three days ago and I need my weekly fix! XD
• Toms: think Vicki's minding me from 9am till 1pm. Unsure where PIG mum's sending us; also unsure have I any other appointments toms arvo but fingers crossed I can read for one hour and that I'll get to watch the 6pm bulletin for the 14TH time!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 300d

Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4194. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I alternated between editing my latest personal blog post and Facebooking. XD
• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.    
• Toms: Kim's minding me from 8:30am till 11am. From memory, we'll leave for church @ 10:40pm; should I sit over the loo and do a stinky unspeakable after brushing teeth/after reading Herriot's second book for one hour?
• Would love lunch out with other ESS people afterwards but expecting just a Happy Meal with dad. *sigh*
• Also expecting a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum. >< *second sigh*
• But dad had better take us out for CHINESE for dinner, order a HK-style milk tea and lemme drink some, coz I didn't get any two days ago!!

Saturday Post 300b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3845 ... wonder if I'll crack four grand before the night's out? XD Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• After Vicki arrives @ 10am, I get my fifteen more minutes, we get me kitted and then I head over to brush teeth. Thanks to Vicki who squirts some toothpaste for me.
• After drinking one mug of water, I sit over the loo and do a stinky unspeakable. 
• Breakfast is dad's yummy ham and eggs; thanks to Vicki who tried to cook the bread yummy but she burnt it. XD I reminded her to add one slice of cheese, please! Over and after breakfast, I happily read for thirty minutes, reaching pg. twenty-five @ 11:31am.
• While I use the loo for one more tinkle, Vicki locks up. After I climb into her passenger seat, she tootles me off to Calamvale Central. Unsure why she parked @ the other end of the centre but hey. Walking's apparently good for me?
• After buying groceries from Woolies and buying fruit from the Discount Fruit Market, I choose aa sushi for arvo tea and Vicki tootles me home.
• Back home, I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Vicki who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Whoops, less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was the rice leftovers dad left me; thanks to Vicki who fed me two more big mugs of white tea with two sugars.
• After Vicki left, I rang dad but he cut the call off. Next I rang PIG mum; she answered, saying they were almost home.
• Once they got home, dad sent me to the loo - he's taking us to the beach! :D
• He'd found this TINY strip of beach somewhere and pitched the little tent! I sat on my single seat thing and built a sandcastle with my Minion bucket; thanks to dearest dad who went to the shore and got some surf water for me to make wetter sand with.
• Dad fired up the barbie; PIG mum accompanied him. I sat in the seat, playing with the sand and enjoying the peace. 'Twas super-peaceful: the shore was gently lapping @ the beach, a dad was teaching his kid how to fish by the shoreline and there were more families a little distance away.
• After dad had cooked some things on the barbie, he reshoed Erf, help me up from the seat and walked with me to the gazebo thing where the BBQ and PIG mum was.
• We each had a lil chunk of garlic bread, another chunk of 'marn tul' (say that in Canto' and one mouthful of rice and charsiu.
• When the Sun started setting dad said let's go. The parents packed up; I hiked back to the car and dad tootled us home.
• After using the loo for one more tinkle, I returned online. PIG mum's hit the sack upstairs and dad's watching YouTube by the TV.
• Toms: Kim's minding me from 8:30am till 11am. She'll help me up and then drop me off to church for ESS @ 11am.
• Would love lunch out with other ESS people but basically resigned to a Happy Meal with dad @ Maccas.
• Also expecting a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum. *sigh*
• But dad had better take us out for dinner toms night and gimme ONE bowl of rice!
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner, else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 300

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2656 steps (ha, I'm over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Anchor Of Joy' and thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Relationships (1)'. Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 9th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 6:10am 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* 
• Then I have a massive snore until PIG mum randomly a-THUMPS around upstairs and wakes me, prompting another pot :P trip around 9:30am! Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo; she teaches me the perfect way to remember the carer's name that's coming to help me up: she shares a name with my elder (but still younger than me) godsister: Vicki!
• Fingers crossed I can bbl coz I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and ELEVEN MINUTES after getting home!!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
