 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 1783 but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY MINUTES online after I start getting ready for bed @ 9:45pm!! >< But I suppose that's my own fault; I should've popped online straight after watching the news and not headed upstairs to do another stinky unspeakable while my mobile was inside my bag because I just sat over the loo and played Candy Crush until summoned for dinner. XD Righteo, just briefly, final, final events for tonight?

  • Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa dearest dad's home-grown hairy melon, lotsa yummy cauliflower, a few slices of silver perch and several small slices of beef.

  • Toms: Hannah's minding me from 9-2. Gonna buy fruit @ the Mega Discount Fruit Mart; hopefully there'll be time to sit and poke @ mobile!
  • Seeing Jackyfor physio toms arvo.
  • Fingers crossed for some arvo tea and getting to read City Of Crows for another hour!
  • Oh, almost forgot: will prolly be the second consecutive day where I don't get all my most important two hours of the day online coz it's March the 1st and I've gotta pen (well, type) my Birthday Wishlist! >< XD

Sunday Post 303d

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 1284 (I'm still doubtful about this pedometer since it feels like I've plodded many more steps?) and secondly, the final, final spam count for the weekend's now thirty-one. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post, I watched YouTube clips.
  • 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. Frustration was finding the toilet lid closed; I had to hike upstairs for the 4TH time today. WTF, I live DOWNSTAIRS now. Screw counting, definitely SINGING myself to sleep tonight! >< *sigh*
  • Toms: Hannah's minding me 9-1. Can we go anywhere, in this downpour??
  • Seeing Aunty Anna for some massage and acupuncture toms arvo. PIG mum's surely overjoyed: she's found another person she can yap at. XD
  • Oh! It's the final day of Summer toms!! SOMEONE PLEASE TAKE ME FOR A SERVE OF SHAVED ICE SOMEWHERE!!
  • Hoping to read for one hour toms arvo, munch some arvo tea and then watch the 6pm news for the 29TH time!
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Sunday Post 303b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 1194 (lol I'm thankfully over one grand but personally I reckon I've walked more steps today! XD); secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Forgiven And Forgotten Sins' and thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's from two night's ago 'Avoid The Door'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

  • After publishing the previous post, I watched The Silver Brumby's 18th episode before heading over to the gobbling :PO table and asking PIG mum for some arvo tea please since I'm gonna read for one hour.
  • Had to let her gleefully force poor Ela to feed me some fragonfruit but I was seated and could fully concentrate, so no biggie. Besides, I finished 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's got over me, ha. Unfortunately, she chucked some almighty random cow @ me, calling me self-centered! I calmly retorted that if indeed I was, 'twas because I'd learnt from the best: her.
  • Her revenge was to make me pointlessly hike upstairs for the third time. My answer to that? Read Sam Thaiday's memoirs while sitting over the loo and not coming back down until dearestt dad arrived home. XD
  • Took a nice hot shower - I washed and rinsed my hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud. Actually, I was all done after only 11% but happily fully leaned 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 for me, I did everything else until my bra strap needed hooking, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
  • For some reason, PIG mum wouldn't gimme my bag back? My mobile with downloaded pedometer was inside! Never mind, I counted each step out aloud and then wrote that number down lest I forget.
  • Dinner tonight was @ Woka Warrigal. I'd asked dad could we please have dinner @ C Cafe since it's entirely underground, I could stay dry and wouldn't haveta get wet but he refused. Doesn't matter.
  • Tonight I had 1.5 bowls of congee, just over half a bowl of yummy Hokkien fried rice and about (but not quite) one bowl of yummy ho fan. unsure why we didn't get the set meal that comes with drinks and dessert, but hey. Luckily the Chinese tea's free.
  • Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight, the final final spam count for the weekend plus what's happening Monday, else hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Sunday Post 303

 Good afternoon! I'm unsure ... the free pedometer PIG mum downloaded onto my mobile says I've only been hard @ work plodding 611 steps? Surely not! But John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'When God Becomes 100% For Us'; TWFT topic's 'Make The Most Of Your Time'; Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Joy Of Good News' and the spam count for the weekend's twenty-nine. Anyways, events for today?

  • Nature called once around 1:30am; I used the pot :P again around 6am before falling back asleep right away since I knew PIG mum would get noisy about one hour later!
  • One hour later, nature calls before PIG mum can, but it's not long before 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 @ home) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes and using the pot :P once more first. Whilst doing so, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*

  • PIG mum comes back to help with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the sink to brush teeth; amazingly, she doesn't gleefully force poor Ela to hold the toothbrush!
  • Breakfast is one bowl of Sultana Bran, one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast with some avocado (and apparently a little salt; not that I could taste any XD) smeared and sprinkled over it, 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 hiked to the toilet upstairs. 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! Actually, no side rail up there but the toilet's small enough that I just leant against the wall. XD 
  • After washing and drying Era, I head back downstairs and sit just inside the garage waiting for Fi's arrival. When she gets here, I climb into her passenger seat and she tootles me off to the Lung residence for small group.
  • Thanks to Reverend Chris who drives up the driveway and gives me a ride back down to his place, meaning I don't haveta traverse the slippery pebbles. Once I climbed into the passenger seat I automatically reached for my seatbelt but Reverend Chris was like nah don't bother. We're just reversing down the driveway. XD
  • First we broke into genders and prayed; then we all regrouped and heard a few testimonies. Wilfred, Mel Mel and Evan.
  • Afterwards, the Lungs dropped me back off @ BCACa; I used the loo once and then took my usual spot for ESS.
  • Stayed seated for worship and sang everything plus the harmony for both songs but like every other week meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
  • Speaker today was Reverend Chris with his second sermon from his Love The Other sermon series and there was communion afterwards.
  • I used the loo once more myself and then dad tootled us to the Rochedale Maccas for lunch. A pissy little Happy Meal for me; dad had his usual Big Mac meal.
  • Got home, hiked back upstairs to use the loo again before returning downstairs and plopping online.
  • Once I've used up my most important two hours of the day I'll head over to the gobbling :P table, ask PIG mum for some arvo tea please and hopefully read for one hour.
  • Dad had better take us out for dinner tonight and gimme ONE bowl of rice!
  • Toms: Hannah's coming 9-1 toms.
  • Seeing Aunty Anna for more massage and acupuncture afterwards.
  • Hoping to read for one hour and watch the 6pm news for the 29TH time!
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 303c

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! With a final, final plodding total of 3798, lemme just cover final, final events for Saturday?

  • After publishing the previous post, I chatted over Messenger with Alison and Lisa.
  • 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. Well, I suppose the special thing's that Fi's picking me up from home, driving me to the Lung's for SG and dropping me back @ BCAC for ESS?
  • Lunch and sports have been cancelled coz Rochedale High's sports hall leaks; would love lunch out with other ESS people but fully expecting a pissy little Happy Meal with dad ... *sigh*
  • Also expecting a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum. *sigh*
  • But dad had better take us out somewhere with CHINESE food for dinner and gimme ONE bowl of rice!
  • Righteo, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 303b

 Good evening! The first post was me watching the 6pm bulletin (Nine's) for the 28TH time; as for today, I'm login in Saturday's plodding total @! 3798; John Piper's daily devotional topic's 'You Are Greatly Loved'; TWFT topic's 'Forgiving Others (2)'; Our Daily Bread's Devotional topic's 'Part Of The Family' and Joni's devotional topic's 'Considering Others' but way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-THREE MINUTES online after I visit the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, just briefly, events for today?

  • Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:05am~
  • The carer that helped me up this morning's actually Harry's wife, Aunty May!
  • Had breakfast, did a stinky unspeakable and then went out with Aunty May for walkies, facial tissue and sushi roll buying.
  • Hilarious: we spent ages on the garage unable to get inside; the garage door wouldn't open! I Whatsapped dad, tried ringing him and Aunty May tried all the keys, all to no avail. Suddenly, I was like, wait ... please check the letterbox; are we outside number twelve? Aunty checked, came back and said sheepishly, sorry, it's number fourteen!! XD
  • Took a nice warm shower once back inside - hairwash today. Also thanks to Aunty May who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, Aunty May cooked me some fried rice for lunch and two big mugs of white tea with two sugars.
  • Before she left I used the loo 0nce more for two tinkles and after she left dad took me to church and we played ping pong together!
  • Back home, I used the loo once, munched my sushi roll (Calamvale Central does yummier vege tempura rolls than Underwood Marketplace, BTW), drank one mug of some infusion and read till 5:50, coz it's only Saturdays that I get to spend a blessed three hours reading~
  • Then I popped online and happily watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 28TH time, but unsure why I've lost the Aussie dollar value and the weather report stats. See the previous post for the interesting surnames, though.
  • When summoned to dinner I used the loo for one tinkle and joined the parents; after the usual dinner and soup I washed my bowl and soup and returned online.
  • Fingers crossed I can bbl after one last loo trip @ 9pm with the final, final events for today plus what's happening Sunday, else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Friday Post 303b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, I've already logged in Friday's plodding total @ 4094; secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "Don't Miss  The Obvious" and thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Avoid The Door'. Righteo, continuing events for tonight?

  • 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 Ekat's car (the passenger seat) and she tootles us off to Calamvale Central for walkies and shopping, parking underground somewhere I've never noticed before; we caught the passenger elevator up!
  • First, we bought groceries from Woolies.
  • Next, we buy fruit from the Mega Discount Fruit Market.
  • Ekat stops to buy herself two sushi rolls for lunch; I grumble that PIG mum's mean and won't lemme buy one for arvo tea.
  • Our last stop's the Vietnamese bakery, where I order my delicious pork salad roll for lunch.
  • Back home, I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Ekat who helps me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • I have one tinkle before Ekat turns the nice warm water off, get dried, gett creamed and have another tinkle. When Ekat gets me kitted, I have one more tinkle when she's doing Elf's AFO straps and one last when I'm drying out the ears.
  • Back outside, lunch is my yummy BBQ pork salad roll and one delicious mug of vanilla chai with milk.
  • After Ekat leaves @ 1pm, Tiff comes @ 2pm and gives Ela a session of OT.
  • When she leaves, PIG mum feeds me one yummy pear for arvo tea, I drink one mug of yummy peppermint tea and happily read for one hour -I FINISH THE BOOK @ 4:39pm!!
  • After hiking upstairs to use the loo for one tinkle (dunno why PIG mum closed the lid after Ekat left) I popped online for awhile before watching the 6pm bulletin, while PIG mum rocks out for some celebration dinner with her nursey friends.
  • When dearest dad summons me for dinner I use the loo for one tinkle then walk myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table,  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over
  • Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy kailan, lotsa sweet carrot, lotsa some vegetable I've since forgotten, soup tomato, soup potato and one tiny cube of chicken.
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking my bowl over to the sink and washing it, 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
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl after one final loo trip with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight, the final, final spam count for the week plus what's happening toms, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!

Friday Post 303

 Good afternoon! Firstly, I'm logging Friday's plodding total @ 4094 (Wally's marked it; I've taken last Friday's plodding total); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic's 'God Opens The Heart'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Forgiving Others (1)' and fourthly, the spam count for the week's already 104 (first time this year past 100, perhaps?) but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and FIFTEEN MINUTES online after Tiff and Marissa come gimme a session of OT!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:15am, 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 hourly after that initial pot :P trip but happiness today was snoring soundly with Uber all the way until dearest dad very considerately walked silently along the hallway and unpopped the lock leading into the garage before waking for the pot :P again.
  • After dearest dad retucks me back into bed, kisses me bye and leaves for his hard day's work, Uber and I happily cuddle and snore for about another hour, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Ekat's arrival.
  • She arrives @ 9am; I get my fifteen more minutes, use the pot :P once and we get me kitted, before I head out to the bathroom to brush teeth.
  • Breakfast is one bowl of bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread with some 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/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.

Thursday Post 303

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2513 steps (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Hour Of Unusual Threat' and thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Adjusting Your Vision' but fourthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and FORTY-FOUR MINUTES online after PIG mum gets home!! Anyways, events for today?

  • WTF, nature ruined my awesome sleep streak this morning @ like 2:30am; I was just one day off from scoring another week of awesome sleeps! >< *sigh*
  • Nature called again around 6am 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*

  •  When PIG mum came to hit me with the eye goo before Karina arrived @ 7:30am, she also reamed me out for having a lil lbl. XD

  • After Karina arrives, I get fifteen more minutes, use the pot :P and we get me kitted, before I head out to the kitchen to brush teeth (since the bathroom tap's still not working). Breakfast is one bird of yummy flaky bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD), one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast smeared with some avocado and sprinkled lightly with 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 turned on Sunrise for my viewing pleasure.

  • 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!

  • That done, I climb into Karina's backseat and she tootles me off to the Garbo library for GCCW!
  •  After I get into the meeting room, I send Karina back to the car and ask her please fetch the fifty bucks Stan was chasing me for last fortnight. Sure enough, the moment Stan sees me, he makes a beeline for me! "Don't bite my head off!" I screech. "Karina's coming back with my fifty bucks for you!" After Karina passes me the bill, I hand the note to Stan and ask him to please write a receipt for me. Lol, Stan does: for Em Chan! You'd think receipts would require your formal name, surely?? XD
  • Only eight people attended today; Crystal helped me to the loo during morning tea (the disabled one was occupied but luckily the first ambulant one was free) and our next homework topic's like 'a twist on some fairytale'. I'm thinking of doing the Three Little Pigs; the Big Bad Wolf can devour PIG mum and me, but my dad saves the day! XD
  • Afterwards, I use the loo once more and then Karina and I buy takeaway from Woka Warrigal. While I'm waiting for our orders, Karina finds tissues available that weren't @ Garbo, phew!
  • Back home, we split lunch: half sweet and sour pork and half teriyaki chicken! I'm super-impressed with the PACKED container of rice and yay, Karina says HK-style milk tea coffee's great after saying HK-style milk tea's too sweet.
  • After lunch, I shower half-fast; 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 hot 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's giving Wally back to Era.
  • Back outside, I boot up the computer while Karina goes to clean the bathroom before coming back to gently massage Ela for about ten minutes.
  • At 3:30pm, I headed over to the gobbling :P table, signed Karina off and said my thanks and byes. She's back next Thursday and taking me shopping.
  • PIG mum arrives home soon after; I chomp one yummy ya pear and drink some kinda infusion before sneaking my mobile into the loo and do another stinky unspeakable while playing phone games. XD
  • Returning online, I keep playing mobile games until it's time to watch the news~
  • Dad's home now and presumably reheating dinner for us. PIG mum's still up in pigland.
  • Don't: my roster says Ekat's minding me from 9am till 1pm. Hopefully PIG mum'll lemme buy a BBQ pork salad roll for lunch from Calamvale Central.
  • Tiff and Marissa are coming to give Ela a session of OTT toms arvo.
  • Fingers crossed that PIG mum'll gimme some arvo tea, I can read for one hour and I can watch the 6pm news for the 27TH time!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl after dinner tonight, else wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 303c

One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Almost forgot: my final, finally plodding total for Tuesday's actually 4180 (sweet, I'm over four grand) and my final, final plodding total for tonight's 3931. Lol, not quite four grand this time. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • After watching The Silver Brumby episode fifteen, @ 9pm I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back,  again and always  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Toms: Karina's taking me to GCCW!
  • Originally we were gonna have lunch @ C Cafe but tonight they suddenly messaged me and said council has told them to shut shop for several days and they'll prolly not reopen till like Tues/Wed! o_O PIG mum said buy takeaway from Woka Warrigal instead; wonder will she lemme have lunch @ Ho Lin Wah?
  • Highly doubt dad will take us out for dinner tonight; hopefully I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 26TH time!
  • Righteo, hope everyone's having a smashing week!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
    P.S. Almost forgot to say: only six attended our Toastmasters meeting last night and there was only one prepared speech but both Neil and I gave an impromptu speech and everyone was given a Table Topic. Best of all, since I was timer but didn't have the lights coz Jasmine couldn't make it last night, Neil downloaded this awesome Toastmasters app for me that lets you pick like speech, evaluation/table topic; when minutes for the lights are reached, the screen changed to that colour!

Wednesday Post 303b

 Good evening again! Just noting down that Joni's devotional topic's 'The Lowliest Servant' and continuing briefly Wednesday's events?

  • After seeing Ray for some massage and acupuncture, PIG mum tootled us home and I plopped online until I was summoned for lunch: one yummy BBQ chicken and mayo toastie plus one mug of chai. Alas that PIG mum didn't add a slice of cheese for me, that would've been perfect!
  • Saw Jacky @ Breathe for physio. Physio today: theraband pulling, 1.5km bike riding, three sets of lat rows and three sets of lat pulls, reaching for both hands.
  • Amy minded me from 4-6pm. Hiked upstairs to use loo once before she left 
  • Joined choir practice from 5:30pm till 6:15pm.
  • Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy cauliflower, lotsa soup carrot and a few strips of yummy BBQ chook.
  • Drank soup, washed bowl and returned online.
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl shortly after 9pm following one last loo trip with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening Thursday else hope everyone's having a great week!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 303

 Good evening! Firstly, I'm not sure how many steps I've been hard @ work plodding coz PIG mum's out playing ping pong and dearest dad's fixing the tap PIG mum broke this morning; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional from last night's 'Enjoying His Fullness'; secondly, TWFT topic's "It's A Blessing In Disguise" and thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'TThe Challenge Of The Stars' but fourthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-SIX MINUTES online after dinner tonight!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 6th 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*
  • Usually nature calls hourly after that initial pot :P trip, but happiness today was snoring soundly with Uber until dearest dad very considerately walks silently along the hallway and unpops the lock into the garage before waking again for the pot. :P
  • After dearest dad kisses me bye, retucks me back into bed and leaves for his hard day's work, I happily cudde Uber and happily snore with him for about another hour, waking once more for the pot :P shortly before PIG mum begins her noisy daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
  • PIG mum comes to help with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth (poor Ela). Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for only one tinkle, coming out when I realise I feel like doing a stinky unspeakable.
  • Breakfast was potentially the last of the yummy pork floss buns I'd made with PIG mum, one full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and one cup of plain milk with the cookies and cream flavoured drinking straw that PIG mum had bought me from Costco yesterday! Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • 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 finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel.

See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

  •  After washing and drying Era, PIG mum tootles me off to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Of cou - bbl!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 302c

 Good afternoon and potentially one final greeting for today! Dunno my potential final, final plodding total, but just noting down that I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWO MINUTES online after I get home this arvo!! Anyways, take two: events for today?

  • Yay, 5th 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* 
  • Usually, nature calls every hour after that initial pot :P trip but happiness today was snoring soundly all the way until dearest dad very considerately walks silently along the hallway and unpops the lock into the garage before waking again for the pot :P
  • After dearest dad kisses me bye, retucks uber and me back into bed and leaves for his hard day's work, we happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P about one hour later shortly before PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside to await Hannah's arrival.
  • When Hannah arrives, she's got my routine down pat: say good morning, offer us fifteen more minutes and then bugger off and don't come back until fifteen minutes later. XD
  • After we get me kitted, I go brush teeth (Ela enjoyed another morning's break from having to hold the toothbrush) before sitting over the loo for only 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 with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast smeared with some 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/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 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 back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

  • When David arrives, physio today: ten minutes treadmill walking @ 0.8km/hr, fifty reaches for Era, ten minutes standing practice, fifty reaches for Ela and twenty laps hallway walking. Turns out David was very pleased with my work for him today and said next fortnight he'll have me walk twenty-five laps not twenty... I'm like WTF?! That's perfect incentive for me to walk SLOWER ... *sigh*

  • Took a nice warm shower afterwards - hairwash today. Also thanks to Hannah who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

  • I had one tinkle before I 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 Elf's AFO straps and one last when she was giving Wally back to Era.

  • Back outside, Hannah reheated me one bowl of rice leftovers for lunch and poured me one yummy mug of vanilla chai with milk. Over lunch, we just poked @ our smartphones but embarrassingly I didn't pass anymore Candy Crush levels.

  • Before Hannah left @ 2pm I quickly used the loo for one more tinkle. Usually I perform this trip @ 1:55pm for two tinkles but we were both playing with our mobiles and didn't realise the time. She's back @ 5:30pm and taking me to Toastmasters!
    In five minutes' time, PIG mum's taking me back to Unique Physiotherapy not to see Vincent, but some massage lady! Hope she's nice~

  • Hannah's coming back @ 5:30pm and taking me to Toastmasters.

  • Toms: seeing Ray in the morning for acupuncture and Jacky for physio in the afternoon.

  • Dunno who's coming 4-6pm but I've got choir rehearsal online from 5:30pm.

  • Anyways, hopefully bbl else hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
    P.S. Oh yeah, also gotta compose my GCCW homework first!

Monday Post 303d

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Still waiting for PIG mum to come check Wally for me, so just final, final events for tonight?

  • At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Toms: Hannah's minding me again, but from 10am till 2pm this time. Wonder where PIG mum'll send us... I'm guessing Underwood MarketPlace.
  • Can't see Aunty Ann for a massage toms arvo because she and Uncle Tai are otherwise preoccupied. Instead, I'm going back to Unique Physiotherapy, but luckily not to see Vincent: apparently there's a Chinese lady there that gives massages! Hope she's nice~
  • Also hope I'll get to spend my most important two hours online and get some arvo tea!
  • And then Hannah's coming back and taking me to Toastmasters! Looking forward to my Happy Meal for dinner afterwards; never mind that they were what I ate surely MORE THAN TWO DECADES ago! *sigh*
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Monday Post 303c

 Good evening! Firstly, won't find out my final, final plodding total for Monday until PIG mum checks Wally for me after I use the loo once more @ 9pm; secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Whose Side Are You On?' and thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Never Say 'Can't!'" Anyways, just briefly, continuing tonight's events?

  • Made pork floss buns with PIG mum! When dearest dad came home and took PIG mum for walkies, I used the loo for one tinkle and then watched the 6pm news bulletin for the 25TH time.
  • Used the loo for one tinkle before dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy wombok, lotsa dearest dad's home-grown beans, a little yummy meat brisket and two wee chunks of pork.
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup, dessert was half a yummy pork floss bun!
  • Took bowl over to sink and washed it before returning online.
  • Anyways, fingers crossed I can brb after one last loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms else wishing everyone a smashing Tuesday ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Monday Post 303b

 Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for today! Unsure what my potential final, final plodding might be, since the parents have gone walkies together but just noting down that I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and NINETEEN MINUTES online after watching the news tonight and covering just potential final, final events for Monday?

  • When Hannah left @ 1pm; PIG mum said pop online; I'll call you over @ 1:30. Turns out she wasn't ready by 1:30pm but I just played Candy Crush waiting for her. XD
  • Making buns was fun! Obeying PIG mum's command to not lean against the backrest wasn't, but hey.
  • We stopped and I read for one hour while the dough was rising inside the oven; I reached pg. 500 @ exactly 4:15pm!
  • With the risen dough, PIG mum and I had just made the first one together when dearest dad returned home from his hard day's work and dragged PIG mum out for walkies with him. Me, I used the loo once more and then returned online.
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl tonight else hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
    P.S. Oops, forgot to cover what happened after Hannah arrived!
  • I got my fifteen more minutes, we got me kitted and then I went over to the bathroom and brushed teeth before sitting over the loo for one tinkle, coming out when I realised I felt like doing a stinky unspeakable.
  • Breakfast was three yummy Weet-Bix with the thinnest sliver of honey, one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast with some avocado and a little salt sprinkled over it, 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.

    P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm bulletin (Seven's) for the 25TH time:

Monday Post 303

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1474 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Amazed @ The Resurrection' and thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Are You Doing It For The Right Reasons?' but fourthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTEEN MINUTES online after I make pork floss buns with PIG mum!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:15am 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* 
  • Nature usually calls hourly after that initial pot :P trip, but happiness was snoring soundly all the way until dearest dad very considerately walked along the hallway and unpopped the lock into the garage before waking to use 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 for the pot :P about one hour later, shortly before PIG mum begins her noisy 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, I get my fifteen more minutes, use the pot :P once more, get kitted and then head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Ela enjoys her first break from having to hold the toothbrush this week~ 
  • Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table,  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Breakfast was three Weet-Bix with one thin stream of honey, one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread with some avocado and spread 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/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay.

Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • After washing and drying Era, I climb into Hannah's tank and she tootles me off to see Hailey for my last NAB session with her.
  • After using the loo for one tinkle, physio is four laps long hallway walking, four laps short hallway walking, two circuits walking outside, thrice ascending and descending steps (four steps), cone work for Era whilst standing and weightshifting. Before leaving, I give both Hailey and Sonia chocolate to say thanks for helping me with physio these five weeks and ask Sonia when will I come back? Sonia says not next Monday coz that's orientation day for the students but she'll get in touch with PIG mum and cc me into the email.
  • Hannah tootled us back home and I 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. Since Hannah left the bathroom after giving me some facewash, I was able to sing 20% of my shorter second-favourite song softly, slowly but most hatefully out aloud, opening both eyes for the important numbers. Actually, I was all done only after 9%, but happily leaned fully against the right side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling Hannah back.
  • I had

Sunday Post 303b

 Heylo again, good evening and probably one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's probable final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 4613 (sweet, I'm even over 4.5 grand!); secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Word Of The Father'; thirdly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Leaning Into God' and fourthly, the probable final, final spam count for the weekend's now twenty-seven. Righteo, probable final, final events for tonight?

  • After watching The Silver Brumby's 14th episode, I got offline and headed to the gobbling :P table, calling upstairs to PIG mum could she please gimme some afternoon tea? I'm gonna read for one hour.
  • She could, but first I had to let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk outside and let her gleefully force mostly poor Ela to take down the day's washing; argh, I HATES standing practice! >< *sigh*
  • Back inside, I then had to let PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela to feed me one yummy banana. I didn't really mind because I was seated and could fully concentrate; besides, Ela finished before dearest dad got home, meaning PIG mum didn't get the chance to show him how much power she's got over me, ha.
  • After happily reading the book club novel fore one hour, 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 I'd flipped the nicewarm water off and PIG mum had 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 and Elf's AFO straps needed doing and both shoelaces needed tying.After drying the loo seat, I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, washed and dried Era and went out to the couch to watch the 6pm bulletin (Nine's) for the 24TH time.
  • After visiting the loo for one more tinkle, dad tootled us back to the Sunnybank Sports And Community for dinner for the third Sunday running.
  • The Canto vet waitress was working~
  • Dinner was a meagre affair, but it always is when the parents are involved. At least PIG mum got me the little saucer of rice.
  • Back home, I used the loo for one more tinkle and then walked 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: Hannah's minding me from 9am till 1pm; she's taking me to the NAB for my final session with Haailey! Must remember to ask Sonia will I come back next block.
  • PIG mum says we'll make pork floss buns together toms arvo. Hopefully I can still read for one hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 25TH time, though!
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,

Sunday Post 303

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2065 steps (ha, I'm just over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Kind Of Cold That Kills'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Servants To God's Will"; fourthly, the spam count for the week's actually now 104 and fifthly, the spam count for the weekend's already twenty-four. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! This nearly didn't happen; PIG mum woke me when she slammed the sliding door shut @ 11:55am with a full bladder! Luckily I used the pot :P real quick and was back under the covers before the new day arrived so didn't wake again till 6:10am. After another pot :P trip I fell back asleep again immediately coz I'd forgotten what time PIG mum would start getting noisy upstairs!
  • Sure enough, one hour later I'm woken by noisy PIG mum's daily a-THUMPING around upstairs, which prompts another pot :P trip. 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 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. Whilst doing so, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*

  •  PIG mum comes back to help with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk to the bathroom and brush teeth (poor Ela). Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for only one tinkle, coming out to the gobbling :P table 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) with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast smeared with some avocado and perhaps sprinkled with 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*

  • 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 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 and she tootles us off to church. Hiking downstairs, unfortunately the disabled loo lid's down and horrid PIG mum won't lift it for me; even worse, the first two cubicles of the normal ladies' have loo lids down too but thankfully the third one's lifted and I use that myself while mother yaps @ other women outside.

  • As usual, I'm the first to arrive @ class. PIG mum sees me seated and bolts upstairs for CSS.

  • Five students attend today; Uncle William covers lesson one of the Psalm twenty-three stydy.

  • Afterwards, I use the loo myself again and then hike upstairs for ESS and grab my usual spot.

  • Stayed seated for service today, phew. Sang everything, plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*

  • Speaker today was Reverend Chris; his sermon topic was Love God, Love The Other. Next Sunday we're having lunch together afterwards and then going to play sport!

  • Pole came over for a chat afterwards; did you know, Zebby's starting prep this year! As for Ezra, he  still takes naps, aww~

  • After I used the loo once more, dad took me to the Rochedale Maccas for lunch. Another Happy Meal with an orange juice for me. *sigh* Hence why I'm not full yet ... *sigh*

  • Back home, I hiked upstairs to use the loo once (since the loo lid was closed) before coming back downstairs and plopping online. Dad's gone to play baddy and PIG mum's hit pigland upstairs, presumably.

  • Fingers crossed we'll not haveta have dinner @ SCSC tonight again for the third week running ...

  • Toms: Hannah's minding me 9am till 1pm; she's taking me for my final UQ NAB session with the Canto student! Will haveta ask Sonia am I coming for the next block.

  • Unsure have I any further appointments toms arvo, but fingers crossed I can read for one hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 24TH time!

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

Saturday Post 303c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3789. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • 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. Will doubtless haveta have a pissy little Happy Meal with dad for lunch @ Maccas before spending a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum. *sigh*
  • But dad had better take us out for dinner afterwards and gimme ONE bowl of rice! Fingers crossed we'll not haveta eat @ the Sunnybank Hills Sports And Community Club for the third Sunday running ...
  • Righteo, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 303b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, I'll not have a plodding total to report until PIG mum checks Wally for me after I use the loo once more @ 9pm; secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'At A Loss For Words" and thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Spotting God' but fourthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-FIVE MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, continuing events for Saturday?

  • One hour later, nature awoke me again; 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* 
  • PIG mum hits me with the eye goo before rushing off to her half day's work; after dearest dad retucks me into bed, promises to lemme sleep in peace and says he'll cook me some leftovers for lunch, I happily cuddle Pandan and snore, waking twice more for the pot :P before Hannah arrives @ 10am.
  • After my fifteen more minutes, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. While I squirt myself some toothpaste, Hannah empties the pot :P for me and then returns it to my room. Suddenly there's a *thud* and Hannah screams, "Oh, sh*t!*" I jerk the toothbrush from my mouth and yell, "Hannah!! Are you okay??" Hannah yells back, "Your dad mopped the floor this morning and the floor's not dry yet; I slipped!" Oh, sh*t indeed! I yell back, "Can you get yourself back upright/should I grab the phone from the computer table and ring triple zero for you? Sorry, dunno how to pull you back upright without falling over myself." Hannah calmly replies, "Don't worry, I'm already back up. You keep brushing teeth."
  • Teeth brushed, I drink one mug of water and then 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 head out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast. Thanks to dad who cooked ham and eggs and thanks to Hannah who cooked the bread yummy and added one slice of cheese for me. I happily read for thirty minutes first up, reaching pg. 275 @ 10:55am.
  • While Hannah closes windows, locks windows, I use the loo for one more tinkle.before climbing into her tank.
  • At Calamvale Central, we buy groceries from Woolies, fruit for the Mega Discount Fruit Market and one sushi roll for my arvo tea.
  • Back home, I turn off the alarm and take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Hannah who rinses out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • I have one tinkle before Hannah flips the nice warm water off, get dried, get creamed and have another tinkle. When Hannah rekits me, I have one more tinkle when she's doing Elf's AFO straps and one last when she's giving Wally back to Era.
  • Back outside, Hannah first makes me another mug of white tea with two sugars before cleaning the bathroom and then returning to reheat lunch for me. For her own lunch, she'd bought a six-inch beef sub from Subway. Over lunch, I keep reading, reaching pg. 100 @ 3:13pm and finishing pg. 325 @ 1:41pm.
  • Dad arrives home, sends me to the loo and signs Hannah off, meaning she gets to leave fifteen minutes early today. She's back Monday 9-1 and taking me to the NAB.
  • Dad tootles us off to BCAC to play ping pong! As we're walking into the room, I tell him Uncle Wallace isn't here today coz I can't hear him going "HEY!" XD
  • Only two tables were setup today; not many people played because there was men's group tonight. Dad and I played thrice with a break in between; the most common thing he said to me was, "Oh. You missed." XD
  • After dearest dad tootled us home, I used the loo for one tinkle then headed down to the gobbling :P table to munch my delicious tempura sushi roll and drink one mug of some infusion. I also read for two hours, since it's only Saturdays now that I can spend a blessed three hours reading~  I reached pg. 333 @ 3:49pm, reached pg. 350 @ 4:12pm, reached pg. 375 @ 4:49pm and reached pg. 400 @ 5:21pm.
  • After using the loo for one more tinkle, I popped online for fifteen minutes before watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 23TH time.
  • One minute after the news ended and I tootled back online for myself, I was summoned to dinner.
  • Before the usual dinner, I use the loo for one tinkle and after dinner was spooned down with one bowlful of soup I take my bowl over to the sink before returning online.
  • Righteo, fingers crossed I can brb after one last loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening Sunday, else hope to see everyone @ church toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Hey, that's the first time this year it's over 100! Righteo, final, final events for today?

  • After publishing the previous post, I watched The Silver Brumby's 13th episode.
  • 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 from 10am till 2pm. She's already said she can take me for walkies somewhere; wonder will dad send us to Underwood Marketplace/Calamvale Central?

Friday Post 303c

 Good evening! Firstly, I won't know my new plodding total until PIG mum checks Wally for me once more after I visit the loo one last time @ 9pm but Joni's devotional topic's 'Love God' and Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Lift'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

  • After watching the news I worked through the Bible study homework that Uncle William had e-mailed the class and that PIG mum had printed for me.
  • When the parents summoned me over 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.   

  •  Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa lettuce and some chicken. Dessert was a tiny chunk of tasty cheese and dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking my bowll and spoon over to the sink and washing them, I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

  • Anyways, fingers crossed I can bbl after one last loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight, the final, final spam count for toms plus what's happening toms, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!

Friday Post 303b

 Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for today! Unsure what my potential final, final plodding total for Friday may be, since PIG mum won't press Wally for me until I use the loo once more @ 9pm so just noting down that I'm really owed SEVENTEEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 22ND time, the potential final, final spam count for the week's now ninety-seven and covering potential final, final events for Friday?

  • After I'd called "Love you, baba," to dearest dad before he left, I happily cuddled Juice and happily snored for about another hour, waking once more for the pot :P shortly before PIG mum began her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before letting herself back out again to await Vicki's arrival.
  • When Vicki arrives, she bids me good morning, I wave Padan @ her, she goes, "Oh, right. Fifteen more minutes," and promptly removes herself. XD
  • When she comes back fifteen minutes later, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Ela enjoy's her second morning's break from having to hold the toothbrush.
  • Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, coming out when I realise I feel like doing a stinky unspeakable.
  • Breakfast is one yummy bowl of flaky bird food (what Dr. Ku calls bird food XD), one slice of toast spread with some avocado and lightly sprinkled with 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*
  • 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 Vicky's passenger seat. Thanks to her who helps me with my seatbelt both ways; after PIG mum whacks a mask on me, Vicki tootles us out to Calamvale Central for walkies and grocery shopping.
  • Unfortunately all the disabled parks (so diplomatic of whoever named them 'accessible' XD) were taken, but luckily after Vicki found a parking spot further away she immediately went and got us a trolley to push; I knew I was steady then.
  • First we ducked into Woolies and bought groceries.
  • Next, we went through the Mega Discount Fruit Mart and bought pears.
  • Our last stop was to the bakery for my crunchy pork salad roll! The owner guy recognises me; I waved and he nodded back, before saying sth to the store girl. Several minutes later, she puts down a paper bag encasing a pork salad roll in front of me, saying "Seven dollars." I reply, "Um, I haven't ordered yet; think I'm still lining up?" She replies, "Crunchy pork salad roll?" I'm very impressed; the owner dude must've remembered how I told him last Friday to save me one for today!
  • Back home, I take a nice hot 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 Erf's sock and one last when she was giving Wally back to Era/I was drying inside both ears with a tissue.
  • Back outside, lunch was the crunchy pork salad roll - delicious! Lunch was washed down with one delicious mug of vanilla chai with milk.
  • Before I signed Vicki off with my thanks and byes @ 1pm; she helped me download this colouring-in app for my mobile! Colouring soothes her; she says she had a mental breakdown years ago ... dunno when she's back coz she's starting her Thursday sleepovers again but hopefully she'll come back next month for my birthday!
  • Not long after she left, Tiff and Marissa came to gimme a session of OT; I made an apple crumble! See Facebook for photos~
  • After the OTs left, I plopped online for awhile before PIG mum summoned me over to eat the apple crumble I'd helped cook; with custard, 'twas delicious! :D I happily read our book club novel for exactly one hour, reaching pg. 225 @ 3:47pm and reaching pg. 250 @ 4:21pm.
  • Before returning online, I used the loo for one tinkle.
  • Looking forward to watching the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 22ND time!
  • Toms: enjoying my weekly sleep-in till 10am, when Hannah minds me till 2pm. She says she can take me for walkies somewhere and I'll shower @ 12:30pm coz I don't get Saturday 4-6pm support anymore.
  • Must ask dad if there's any ping pong toms but anyhow, I'm muchly looking forward to my three big mugs of white tea and the chance to read for three hours!
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl, else hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
