Wednesday Post 309

 Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total from last night's actually 7450 (aw, I was nearly three-quarters a normal person yesterday! XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's The Gain Of Serving God'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'When You Die! (6) and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Giving Outta Love' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TEN MINUTES online after choir practice tonight!! Anyways, let's start off with last night's events first!

• After my most important two hours of the day were up, I got offline, headed over to the gobbling :P table and asked PIG mum please to gimme some arvo tea; I'm gonna read until Kim arrives @ 5:30pm.
• When Kim does get here, PIG mum goes surprise! Toastmasters got cancelled; you're go see Top Gun2 with Em instead!
• Since Hotcake House had already closed, Kim bought us each a pearl milk tea instead!
• Great movie! I knew it'd be good when I saw that Hans Zimmer co-wrote the score! Poor Kim got so bored during the movie she started playing Farm Hereos! When I said sorry to her for having to take me to see a movie that was too scary for her, she replied that it hadn't been too scary but just too loud!
• We both visited the loo afterwards and both got Happy Meals for dinner! Luckily we weren't offered carrot sticks again. XD
• Repeat the usual nightly events back home, zzz~
• Today: woo hoo, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:35am, when dearest dad used the downstairs bathroom and slid the door shut; after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep coz I knew he'd get ready to leave for work one hour later!
• Sure enough, exactly one hour later, dearest dad very considerately walks silently along the hallway and unpops the lock leading into the garage; that's my wakeup call to use the pot :P again. After this second pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh* 
• After dearest dad kisses me bye, retucks me back into bed and leaves for his hard day's work, Uber and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking about one hour later and using the pot :P again shortly before PIG mum before PIG mum begins her usual daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the tee and the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum comes back to help with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth (poor Ela). Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for only one tinkle, coming out when PIG mum orders I eat breakfast first.
• PIG mum's made cocktail buns for breakfast! Dunno why she refused to lemme take a photo first, but hey. I also drank one full mug of water, popped all my usual drugs :P and ... maybe ate some gluggy bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-BGran XD) porridge? 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 car and she tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Of course, she gleefully forces me to buckle my own seatbelt all day, I ask her please to turn the radio on only for her to totally ignore me and put her own playlist on and today, Era helped Ela stretch for thirty-five minutes, before Ela opened and closed her palm @ least 150 times.
• At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle and then lie down for some massage and acupuncture from Ray. PIG mum's yapping unceasingly @ Ray and obviously in her element; my grateful thanks to Ray for always replying and keeping a conversation going. Best of all, he even gave us a pearl brown sugar milky block each!
• Back home, I quickly slurp my delicious milky pole before it melts, while PIG mum puts hers into a cup to see if it'll melt into a cup of pearl milk tea for her.
• She then orders me to stand @ the stove to cook fried rice for lunch.
• I take a seat after cooking, only for her to order me back up and serve it. She pours me one mug of yummy peppermint tea to have with, then decides to be unsociable and sits on the sofa watching YouTube videos. Not that I care: with mobile access I play Candy Crush throughout lunch and pass two more levels! XD
• One tinkle for me before I plop online.
• Kim's mindinbg me 4-6 today, meaning she can sing choir with me for twemty-five minutes!
• Toms: Karina's taking me on my fortnightly shopping trip!
• Looking forward to meeting the Lungs for lunch @ Rice Paper!
• Karina will see me home and showered before leaving @ 3/3:30pm.
• The Titans are playing the Cowboys tonight; I'll prolly watch half of this Queensland derby!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else hope everyone's having a smashing week!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 308b

 Heylo again and probably one final greeting for today! Em's probable final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 5065. Ha, I'm just over half a normal person today. XD Righteo, probable final, final events for today?

• Funny: nature called not once last night but twice (first time was 12:35am and second time was 2:40am) and both times I emptied a full bladder!
• The third time nature called, the sun had risen and 'twas 6:30am; after a third 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 first morning pot :P trip but happiness was snoring soundly until dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently down the hallway and unpopped the lock into the garage before waking for another pot :P trip.
• After dearest dad has kissed me bye, retucked me back into bed and left for his hard day's work, Uber and I happily cuddle and snore for about another hour, me waking up once more for the pot :p shortly before PIG mum starts 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 Hannah's arrival @ 9am.
• Once Hannah arrives, PIG mum lets her in, she knocks, pushes open the door, says good morning and fifteen more minutes ... I wave Uber @ her and she wisely removes herself. XD
• When she comes back, I use the pot :P once more for three tinkles, we get me kitted, I brush teeth (another break for Ela from having to hold the toothbrush), sit over the loo for one tinkle and come out to the breakfast table when PIG mum orders I eat breakfast first.
• Hannah spreads one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast with avocado and sprinkles some salt over it for me, PIG mum mashes a bowl of bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD), I pop all my usual drugs :P and drink one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• Breakfast finished, I walk myself slowly and safely to the loo, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into Hannah's tank and she tootles us off to Calamvale Central. Pity she won't get us a trolley to push together like Peggy will, but hey.
• We buy groceries from Woolies, I walk all the way to Go Cutt for my cheap haircut and then all the way back to buy my yummy pork salad roll for lunch before Hannah tootles me home.
• Only thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Hannah who helped me rinse out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted I had my yummy pork salad roll and drank a not-very-yummy mug of some infusion for lunch.
• Signed Hannah off with my thanks and byes @ 2pm. She's back next Monday 9-1.
• David came to gimme physio: ten minutes treadmill walking 0.8km/hr, fifty reaches for Ela, 100 reaches for Era (outstrewtch reach) and thirty laps walking.
• Toastmasters has been cancelled for tonight; Kim's gonna take me out to see Top Gun2 instead!
• Was hoping to get dinner from C Cafe afterwards but nope, it's still just a Happy Meal. *sigh*
• Toms: Winter officially arrives ... brr! Seeing Ray for some acupuncture and massage @ 11am (bet PIG mum's DYING to yap unceasingly @ him XD) and Kim's minding me 4-6pm before I have choir rehearsal online! 
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 308

Anyways, events for today?

• Nature called @ 12:35am last night and again @ 2:10am. After the third pot :P trip around 6:30am, 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 morning pot :PO trip, but happiness today was snoring soundly with Uber all the way until dearest dad very considerately walks silently along the hallway and unpops the lock into the garage before waking again to relieve myself.
• 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 for about another hour, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her usual daily a-THUMPING around. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Hannah's arrival @ 9am.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 308b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for tonight now stands @ 3633 (ha, I'm over 3.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'God Knows What You Need To Hear' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THREE MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, continuing Monday's events?

• After dearest dad had kissed me bye, retucked me back into bed and left for his hard day's work, Uber and I happily cuddled and snored, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before PIG mum starts her daily noisy 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 Annette's arrival @ 9am.
• When Annette got here, PIG mum let her in, she knocked the door, said good morning and fifteen more minutes? And wisely left when Uber nodded @ her. XD
• When she came back, I used the pot :P for a few more tinkles, we got me kitted, I went to brush teeth (Ela enjoys another break from having to hold the toothbrush, score) and sit over the loo for just one tinkle, coming out when PIG mum orders that I eat breakfast first.
• Breakfast is three Weet-Bix with one streak of honey, one slice of toast thinly spread with 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 once more 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 climb into Annette's passenger seat and she tootles me off to UQ for physio. Thanks to her who kindly helps me with my seatbelt both ways.

• On arrival, I use the loo once and then enter the gym. Physio today: 100 single leg push-ups on the Tower Of Power for poor Elf. Had a new physio student called Lisa today coz Cat had too many clients.

• After using the loo for one more tinkle, Annette tootled me home and I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Annette who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

• Dried, creamed and rekitted, I had a 'swelling' (say 'joong' in Canto) for lunch! PIG mum both drizzled me a little soya sauce and sprinkled me a little sugar and I discovered one whole Chinese mushroom inside! Lunch was washed down with one mug of some infusion, after which I popped online before signing Annette off with my thanks and byes. She's back next Monday.

• Thirty-five minutes after Annette left, I climbed into the backseat of PIG mum's 4WD and she tootled me off to see Aunty Anna for some acupuncture, massage and cupping. I stayed awake this time! I'm also still slightly taller than Kayla (she reaches my chin) and learnt that she's in Year Five now and plays goal attack for netball!

• Back home, I used the loo for one more tinkle and headed down to the gobbling :P table for arvo tea. Letting PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela to feed me a banana was annoying but happiness was reading Silver Brumby Kingdom for one hour after doing that, reaching pg. 475 @ 5:11pm.

• After using the loo for one more tinkle I plopped online and happily watched the 6pm bulletin for the 67TH time. All the things I usually record are in the previous post.
  

• When PIG mum summoned me over 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.

•  Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy wombok, some bean vermicelli and some ham.

• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking my bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• Righteo, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms else wishing everyone a smashing Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 308

 Good afternoon! Firstly, my final, final plodding total from last night's actually 3227); secondly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's "Those 'Other' Promises"; thirdly, John Piper's daily devotional from last night's 'Authentic Vs. Phony Faith'; fourthly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3585 steps (ha, I'm just over 3.5 grand XD) and fifthly, TWFT topic's 'When You Die! (2)' but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 66TH time!! Anyways, let's start off with last night's events first!

• At 6:38pm PIG mum tried summoning me to dinner, but I said nah if you won't wait eat first; I'll come after the 6pm bulletin has finished.
• Come 7pm, I used the loo for one tinkle, quickly wolfed down dinner (dad had demanded I only put one spoonful into my mouth before chewing and swallowing before repeating; I crammed the BIGGEST mouthful I could spoon into my mouth, so big that some fell back into the bowl and dad grumbled his head off about that but he couldn't get up me since I was sitting very straight and leaning forward; all the food that couldn't enter my mouth simply fell back into the bowl, ready for another go XD) and drank half a bowl of soup before crashing onto the couch and cuddled Goem, ready to watch the game! Dad got back @ me by denying me permission to raise the footrest until kickoff (last time 'twas only when coverage started) but hey. No biggie.
• Cripes, @ halftime the Broncos were losing 24-4 but by fulltime they'd equalised and gone onto win the game! Meaning I stayed up and watched Friday Night Knockoff before getting myself to bed. Zzz~
• Today: woo hoo, 8th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:30am and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep coz I knew PIG mum would get noisy less than one hour later!
• Sure enough, @ 6:20am I was awakened for another pot :P trip by PIG mum's expected a-THUMPING upstairs to get changed for her half day's work, after which I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh* 
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
• P.S All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the news tonight (Nine's) for the 66TH time: Jarrett (heard), Albanese, Littleproud, Salvador (first name), Ramos, Duo  Arradondo (heard), Martinez, Trump, Rubio (heard), Ramirez (heard), Cruz, Rossendale, D'Ath, Kramer, Torchinska, Elena (first name), Merlina (first name), Vidler, Depp, Heard, Saville, Yvette (first name), Duhau, Greenbank, Manwaring,Anders(first name), Callaway,  Manhattan,Tino (first name), Payten, Nanai, Cotton, Creighton, Lawson (first name) Walters, Tsimpkas, Fagan Mam and Carrigan.

Righteo, probable final, final events for tonight?

• Once I'd used up my two most important two hours of the day, I got offline and headed over to the gobbling :P table, asking PIG mum please for some arvo tea coz I'm gonna read for one hour.
• She sliced a banana and put that into a bowl of yoghurt for me; delicious! I also drank some infusion and read Silver Brumby kingdom for one hour, reaching pg. 525 @ 5:17pm.

Friday Post 308

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2364 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Strength To Wait With Patience'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'When You Die! (1)' ; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "The Forecaster's Mistake" and fifthly, the spam count for the week's thirty. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 7th consecutive awesome sleep last night! That's the 6th time this year I've ached one straight week of awesome sleeps; ideally it'd be the 10th time should I wanna maintain the record I've managed for the past three years straight (twenty-five instances of one straight week of awesome sleeps) but since I already achieved that last year, the year before and the year before that, I'm satisfied that I CAN achieve that and won't risk trying anymore to attain that level and risk accidents during the night. Even though I specifically prayed and asked God please NOT to send the noisy garbage truck THUNDERING down the road UNTIL the Sun had risen sufficiently for me to see the time on the clock on the wall, He was like stuff you and deliberately sent that noisy garbage truck THUNDERING down our road to tip bins BEFORE the Sun had really risen! >< Fine: if He was gonna ignore me then I'd ignore Him right back. I just fell back asleep and didn't wake again for the pot :p until the Sun was properly risen. Two can play @ that game. PIG mum's told me before that I can't win God and I'm saying I'm not trying to! I'm just saying I'm not gonna let Him win and today was the perfect example of that.
• When nature called again around 6:30am, after the Sun had fully riden, I used the pot :P for one tinkle before I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*

•  When Peggy arrives @ 9am, PIG mum gimmes some eye goo and said fifteen more minutes. 

• After Peggy entered my room, I use the pot :P for a few more tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Ela enjoys her third successive break from having to hold the toothbrush. Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for five minutes, coming out when I realise I feel like doing a stinky unspeakable.

• Breakfast is three Weet-Bix with a stream of honey and milk, one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast with avocado smeared over and some 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. 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 once more 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 climb into Peggy's front seat, she kindly helps me with my seatbelt and tootles me off to UQ for my two-hour session! We make good time; after arriving I get to play mobile games for twenty minutes!

• We catch the lift upstairs, I use the loo once and then enter the NAB. After taking a seat Cat wanders over to say hi but then says she's not seeing me till next week. Denis tells me to go sit @ the corner plinth.

• A group of five/six GEMs introduce themselves. They're all different nationalities but all studied uni in Canada. I gave them a brief history, they asked several questions and then went out to discuss a treatment plan. While they were away, I got to know the gentleman sitting across the room from me; Stuart's seventy/seventy-five and fell off his pushbike, breaking his neck! >< Incredibly, he can still walk some using a walker~

• When they got back, they'd devised a session for Ela. I stood with her bracing against the wall, then did some supination and pronation exercises, then pretending pegs were piano keys. Mostly I was just disappointed they didn't feed me any chocolate before I left! XD

• Peggy tootled me home, I turned off the alarm and then took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

• After getting dried, creamed and rekitted I use the loo for one more tinkle before heading outside for lunch. Apart from making me a really yummy tuna in tomato and onion buttered toastie with one slice of cheese, Peggy even made me one mug of white tea with two sugars, score!

• Before she left @ 2pm I used the loo once more for two tinkles before signing her off with my thanks and byes. I'll not see her for the next three weeks coz she's taking annual leave to renovate her house!

• 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 and then hopefully read for one hour.

• Looking forward to watching the 6pm bulletin for the (Nine's) 65TH time!

• Then will use the loo once, scoff down dinner, hopefully skip soup and be seated with Goem by 7:30pm to watch the Broncos play!

• Toms: Nisha's minding me from 10am till 2pm. Looking forward to my three big mugs of white tea and the chance to read the Silver Brumby novel for three hours!

• Must remember to ask dad is there any ping pong toms arvo.

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

Thursday Post 308d

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding toal for Sunday now stands @ 3897. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post I continued writing my personal blog post while listening to Melbourne play Manly.
• 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.
• Will definitely use the pot :P once more tonight before falling asleep and hoping the noisy garbage truck DOESN'T THUNDER down our road to tip bins until AFTER the Sun has risen sufficiently for me to see the time on the clock, because I wanna achieve the 6th time this year I've achieved one straight week of awesome sleeps! Technically I'm way behind to meet the records I've set because for the past three years I've achieved @ least TWENTY-FIVE times that one week of awesome sleeps but since I've achieved that many I shan't bother trying to keep it because I already know that I CAN.
• Best of all, it's ice cream night tonight; like I say every week, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Toms: Peggy's minding me 9-1 but instead of taking me to Calamvale Central to get my weekly pork salad roll from the Vietnamese bakery (did that Tuesday instead) she's taking me to UQ for a two hour NAB session doing SPs! Originally Mr. Jig-Air rang and asked would I play mute again and I said okay but maybe he's changed his mind coz he emailed me saying he didn't feel like being that mean to the students? Well I told him I'd arrive mute toms but if he addresses me directly and expects a reply I'll talk.
• For some reason, Tiff isn't free to come gimme OT toms? i don't mind: I'm planning to enjoy my most important two hours of the day online, read for one hour, hopefully munch some arvo tea, watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 65TH time, wolf down dinner and be seated on the sofa with Goem to watch the Broncos from 7:30pm!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^ 

Thursday Post 308c

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3750; secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Partakers In Christ' and thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Turn Up The Heat'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• When the news ended, I started reading the She Reads Truth devotional when dad said dinnertime @ 7:05pm.
• Before joining him @ the gobbling :P table, I walked myself once slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back,  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: more of the fried rice PIG mum recently cooked heaped with a mound of cabbage and like three little slices of yummy chicken. Over dinner I told dad I'd be going to the NAB for two hours of physio toms morning but that Tiff wouldn't come gimme OT toms arvo.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup after which dad tried ordering me to sit on the couch and watch the first half of Thursday night football (Melbourne vs. Manly) but I begged out, saying I'd definitely crash on the couch and watch the Broncos play toms night. XD 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. 
• Chatting with Britt (former Toastmasters friend) right now, listening to the Storm play the Sea Eagles and about to share the She Reads Truth devotional; hopefully bbl after one last tinkle @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening Friday, else wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^ 

Thursday Post 308b

 Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3184. See? Told you I'd crack three grand! XD Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• I'd fallen back asleep and was woken by PIG mum's daily a-THUMPING around upstairs for another pot :P trip, after which I spent 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* 
• Soon, PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside to await Karina's arrival. Once she gets here, she bolts off for her half day's work, while Karina knocks, bids Uber and I good morning and offers us fifteen more minutes, wisely leaving when Uber nods back @ her.
• When she comes back, I use the pot once more for a tinkle/two and ask Karina what happened that she'll finish @ 9am? Sounding annoyed with herself, Karina said she tripped over absolutely nothing and badly sprained her ankle; today's actually her first day back on the job! Thankfully she looks normal though and doesn't limp when she walks.
• Just over thirty minutes left, so just super-briefly:
• Had breakfast and did stinky unspeakable before Kim took me to the Garbo library for GCCW!
• Twelve people attended today, Crystal helped me once to the loo during morning tea and Hap got me Pods, a yoghurt top bikkie and one mug of white tea with two sugars. A high-functioning autistic fellow (thirty years old) and his chocolate carer from Multicap attended for the first time and our homework topic for the next meeting's 'blood'.
• Used the loo for one tinkle and then had lunch with Kim @ C Cafe.
• Got home and took a nice hot shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song softly, slowly but most hatefully out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was all done after just 10% but happily leaned fully against the right siderail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling Kim back.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted I booted the computer up while Kim went to clean the bathroom before coming to massage Ela very gently and very briefly.
• At 3:30pm I headed over to the gobbling :P table and signed Kim off with my thanks and byes. She's back next Tuesday and taking me to Toastmasters!
• When PIG mum got home, she cut me up one yummy nashi and I drank one mug of the not-very-yummy infusion and I also munched three/four yummy Hello Panda chocolate bikkies.
• Used loo for two tinkles and popped online.
• Visited loo again for another tinkle around 5:20pm.
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm bulletin for the 65TH time tonight!
• Best of all, it's ice cream night tonight; like I say every week, a very little's better than none @ all!
•   Toms: Peggy's coming @ 9am and taking me to UQ for a two hour session! Originally Mr. Jig-Air said I could play mute but today he's like maybe don't play mute coz he doesn't feel like being that mean to the students? XD Party pooper! XD
• Peggy will see me home and showered before leaving @ 1/2pm. 
• Sweet, Tiff's not coming to gimme OT toms; looking forward to spending my most important two hours of the day online, reading for one hour and maybe even watching the 6pm bulletin for the 66TH time!
• Will haveta eat dinner quickly because the Broncos are playing the Titans toms night and coverage starts from 7:30pm!
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner, else wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 65TH time: Reid, Gibson, Palaszczul, Ford, Schrinner, Calcutt, actually, not gonna take anymore coz the stupid screen keeps freezing! ><
  P.P.S. Reading Cameron Smith's memoirs while waiting for the 6pm news bulletin; I reached pg. 111 @ 5:52pm and reached pg. 125 @ 6:43pm~

Thursday Post 308

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2956 steps (so confident I'll have cracked three grand before today runs out XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "God's Design In Detours' and thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Conquering Selfishness' but fourthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-THREE MINUTES online after PIG mum gets home from work!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:30am and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep because I knew for certain PIG mum would get noisy less than one hour later!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 308c

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight!  Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 3806. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I listened to the Backstrret Boys on YouTube and Facebooked. XD
• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Toms: Karina's helping me up @ like 7:30am.
• But Kim's taking me to GCCW @ 9am because Karina like rolled her ankle and can't buy groceries for PIG mum!
• We'll have lunch together @ C Cafe and she'll see me home and showered before leaving @ 3:30pm.
• Wonder if I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 65TH time!
• The Storm are playing the Sea Eagles toms night; dad will prolly insist I watch the first half.
• Righteo, hope everyone's having a smashing week!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 308b

 Heylo and good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 3669 (don't ask me why it's LESS than the one I logged in for the post before XD); secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Halfway Home' and thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Run Away'. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• At 5:30pm, my mobile showed me the choir live stream before the mainframe, hence why I watched and sang along with it over my mobile. Besides, when the parents weren't seeing I could keep blogging coz you know how Cath talks more than we sing during rehearsal. XD
• After rehearsal ended I asked the parents to please lemme know when it's dinnertime and returned online.
• When PIG mum summoned me for dinner I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table,  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: more of the yummy fried rice PIG mum had cooked for lunch heaped with choy sum @ the top.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking my bowl 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 last loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms, else hope everyone's having a smashing week!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^ 

Wednesday Post 308

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3699 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Bedrock Of Your Assurance' and thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Use Your Faith' but fourthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-SIX MINUTES after choir practice tonight!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:30am 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 was snoring soundly today until dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently down the hallway and unpopped the lock into the garage @ 7:45am before waking for the pot :P again.
• After dearest dad kisses me bye, retucks me back into bed and leaves for his hard day's work, Uber and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P about one hour later, shortly before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let her into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with just the bra strap and the tee before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first. PIG mum comes back and helps 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). That done, I sit over the loo for only one tinkle, coming out when PIG mum orders I eat breakfast first.
• Breakfast is three Weet-Bix with one tiny stream of honey, one slice of toast lightly spread with avocado and perhaps very 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 walk myself slowly and slowly to the toilet,  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 climbed into the backseat of PIG mum's 4WD and she tootled me off to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Of course, she gleefully forced me to buckle my own seatbelt all day, today, Era helped Ela stretch for thirty minutes before Ela opened and closed her palm 100 times, holding each for a count of five.
• At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle before lying down for some massage and acupuncture from Ray. PIG mum's in her element, yapping ceaselessly @ Ray but fair enough, she didn't get the chance to do that last week coz we were all isolating with COVID! That's prolly why she got that excited she repeated one word five times before continuing her sentence. XD
• After using the loo for one more tinkle, PIG mum tootled mwe home, I opened the front door then edited my GCCW homework before sending it out.
• For lunch, PIG mum cooked yummy fried rice! That was washed down with one mug of some infusion.
• Kim arrived to take me to the NAB for physio.
• At UQ, I used the loo once and entered the gym. Kat was there! First, she randomly hauled me out to the hallway where she walked half a lap with me while she held Ela; back inside, I did twenty sit-to-stands, stepping for Erf, weightshifting and some piano playing for Ela. Oh, I also practised getting from the floor to the plinth five times.
• When we left, I used the loo once more. Only then did I see Kat had forgotten to take back my walk belt, so I hiked back to the NAB to return it. Not all the way though; about halfway along the hallway a student bumped into us, I said sorry I accidentally stole your walkbelt; coming back to return it; he replied oh, I'll take it back in for you, thanks.
• Back home, I took a nice hot shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also sang 22% of my shorter second-favourite song softly, slowly but most hatefully out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
• After I turned the nice hot water off, I mostly dried myself (thanks to Kim who kindly helped me dry my back, Era and both legs, mostly creamed myself (again, thanks to Kim who kindly helped me cream my back, both calves and Era and mostly rekitted myself (thanks to Kim who helped me with Erf's sock, Elf's AFO straps and both laces). Then I used the loo for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, washed and dried Era and headed back out to the gobbling :P table. Originally I thought I'd do another stinky unspeakable and asked Kim for another mug of water but nothing came out. Don't worry; I already did a stinky unspeakable this morning.
• Arvo tea was one big bowl of passionfruit yoghurt with one banana sliced into it, one mug of peppermint tea and four chocolate Hello Panda bikkies. Kim briefly and gently massaged Ela while PIG mum prepared dinner and tapped @ her.
• Before Kim left, I used the loo once more for two tinkles. She's back toms and taking me to the Garbo library for GCCW!
• Karina will come help me up @ 7:30am but can't take me to the Garbo library for GCCW since she badly sprained her ankle ... ><
• So Kim will take me for lunch @ C Cafe! Hopefully the MSG there bisn't too bad!
• She will see me home and showered before leaving @ 3/3:30pm.
• The Storm are playing the Sea Eagles toms night ... if dad insists, perhaps I'll watch the first half of that?
• Best of all, it's ice cream night toms night; like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl after dinner, else hope everyone's having a smashing week!
  Cheers,

Tuesday Post 307

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2957 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Is Christ Worth It?' and thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Feeling Good About Yourself'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 4th 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 hourly after the initial pot :P trip, but happiness was sleeping soundly until dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently along the hallway and unpopped the lock into the garage before waking for another pot :P trip. Also, I was having another dream! Too bad the dream vanished the moment I woke and I couldn't recall it, but hopefully it'll come back tonight and I'll remember it toms morning!
• For some reason, Hannah didn't show up; Amy came instead? When I swung myself over to the pot :P once more, Amy smugly told me, "You should thank me. Your carer's car broke down and only I was able to come help you up." Sure, I was profuse in my thanks! XD
• After we got me kitted, I headed over to the bathroom and brushed teeth before sitting over the loo for just one tinkle, coming out when I realised I felt like doing a stinky unspeakable.
• Breakfast is one bowl of the less-yummy bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-BGran, one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast with some avocado smeared over it and a little salt sprinkled on top, 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.

See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into Amy's passenger seat and she tootles me off to Calamvale Cental, finding parking underground. Dunno why she wouldn't grab a trolley for us, instead demanding I cross the road and grabbing one myself, but hey.
• First we buy groceries from Woolies.
• Then I buy fruits from The Mega Discount Fruit Market, before returning to just outside Woolies, crashing on the comfy sofa and playing phone games for nearly one hour! I would've thought Amy would've said sit @ the table and use your phone stand but she seemed cool with the comfier couch, yay~
• Before leaving, I went to the bakery and bought my crispy pork salad roll for lunch. When the uncle saw me, I waved Era and he nodded, asking me, "Where you last Friday?" Even while masked up, I pulled a face and said, "I no come coz I got COVID." He looks alarmed. "You mum dad okay?" Shaking my head, I reply, "They got COVID too..." He's unmasked and looked even more alarmed, hence why I waved Era @ him and said, "Don't worry. All better now, so come to buy pork salad roll!" While it's being made, he serves another customer; after the customer's left, I ask him, "Uncle, where's Aunty today? I no see Aunty." The Vietnamese uncle points to the aunty manning the counter, but I shake my head, going, "No, different Aunty." He goes, "Oh! She work Friday. Today Wednesday." He also told me how he's got one little boy who's two/three.
• Back home, I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Amy who helps me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• I have one tinkle before Amy flips the nice hot water off, get dried, have another tinkle and get creamed. When Amy rekits me, I have one more tinkle when she's helping with Erf's sock and one last when she's giving Wally back to Ela.
• Back outside, lunch is the delicious crackling pork salad roll plus one mug of some infusion; a yummier one; the tag's orange.
• At 2pm I sign Amy off with my thanks and byes. Dunno when she's coming back again.

• Once I'd used up all my most important two hours of the day, I got offline and asked PIG mum would she please feed me some arvo tea? I'm gonna read for one hour.
• She passed me one banana, one warm mug of sth and three Hello Panda bikkies.
• During and after eating them, I happily read for one hour. I finished Silver Brumbies of the South @ 4:44pm and immediately started reading Silver Brumby Kingdom! I reached pg. 475 @ 5:06pm~
• Thanks to dad who warmed a cup of water in the microwave for me; I did another stinky unspeakable before returning online and happily watching the 6pm bulletin (Nine's) for the 64TH time!

Monday Post 307

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1295 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Jesus Knows His Sheep'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Dress For Success' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'In The End'. Righteo, events for today?

• Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:30am 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 was snoring happily until dearest dad very considerately walks silently along the hallway and unpops the lock leading into the garage before waking for another pot :P trip.
• After dearest dad has kissed me bye, retucked me back into bed and left for his hard day's work, Uber and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P 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.
• But today Hannah arrives with Anette! Not the one I know, but a new one - and today's her first day on the job! She's only fifty-five but already has grandkids!
• I get up, brush teeth, sit over the loo for one tinkle and then come out for breakfast.
• For breakfast I munch three yummy Weet-Bix with a very thin stream of honey, one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread with a little 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 toilet,  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!
• Annette drives a normal-sized hair; Hannah said let's use yours. The Block feels unloved. XD I sit @ the back and tell Hannah to sit beside Anette.
• At UQ, I use the loo for one tinkle and enter the NAB.
• Mr. Jig-Air greets me from the plinth @ the end wall and beckons me over. I hike in and he asks me how am I? I tell him better thanks; luckily we only had mild cases.
• My new student's called Cat - short for Catriona - and she doesn't turn twenty-one until September!
• Physio today: twenty sit-to-stands with left weightshift, stepping for Erf with more left weightshift, lay down on plinth and showed Cat Ela's ROM and cone work for Ela.
• Got home, turned alarm off and took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Hannah who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• I had one tinkle before I flipped the nice hot 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 Ela.
• Back outside, PIG mum had cooked spaghetti for lunch but 'twas yucky coz it was GAMEY! >< The warm infusion wasn't yummy either, but hey.
• Can't remember did I visit the loo before popping online?
• Toms: Hannah's minding me 9-2 and then Kim's taking me to Toastmasters! Looking forward to buying some dinner home from Maccas, never mind that Happy Meals were what I ate surely MORE THAN TWO DECADES AGO!! *sigh*
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• When nature called suddenly @ 8:17am, I walked myself slowly and safely once 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.
• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: after we all retested negative for COVID, PIG mum immediately rang CODA's on-call number and requested the carers return and Amee said yes they will, phew! 
• Hannah's minding me 9-1. Originally I have NAB physio Mondays (already missed out last week with COVID) but PIG mum's uncertain whether I should return toms.

• Hannah will see me showered and fed with lunch before leaving @ 1pm. Don't have any appointments after that, so looking forward to spending my most important two hours of the day online, reading the Silver Brumby novel for one hour and watching the 6pm bulletin for the 64TH time!

I crashed on the comfy couch, put the legs up and ignored dad when he grumbled about my sliding posture. XD All the things I usually record are in the previous post.
• Before joining the parents for dinner I walked myself once slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back,  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa broccoli and a little yummy chicken. 
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl 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.

• Only the next time I awoke, 'twas already 10am!! >< I banged the wall and screeched for PIG mum; she calmly says she lemme sleep coz I looked tired and lemme rest. Huh, but that prolly means I'll be back in bed before twelve hours have passed ... day wasted. >< *sigh*

• Instead, I did a stinky unspeakable before joining ESS @ 11am.

• When dad summoned me over for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle first. When I reached the toilet door, I heard him grumble that I'd not even walked a few steps today. Incensed, I call back, "Excuse me?! Might you wanna walk here and see if you can arrive in less than two steps? I can't walk as many steps as you do,. but I definitely managed more than two!" In response, dad yells back, "SHUT UP!" Lol. XD
• After the usual dinner, I return online. Shortly past 8pm I randomly feel like doing another stinky unspeakable so sit over the loo and ask PIG mum please for one cup of water.
• 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 plus what's happening toms, else wishing everyone a smashing Sunday ahead!
