Thursday Post 313d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 4638. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post, I happily play mobile games for thirty minutes. Was gonna be thirty-five, but PIG mum came home early from her party and when I heard the garage door open @ 8:55pm, I quickly switched off the mobile and put Seven Plus back on. 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.
  • Tonight's ice cream night, yay! Like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all!
  • Toms: Peggy's minding me 9-1. After helping me up, she'll take me to the NAB, where I've got two hours of physio with Bianca. 
  • After she leaves, PIG mum's got Tiff the OT and that male student who's also a carer coming to cook sth with me!
  • Fingers crossed I'll get to read for one hour while munching arvo tea and then watch the 6pm news for the 93RD time!
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 4541 (ha, I'm even past 4.5 grand tonight! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Seeing Christ Through Suffering'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

  • I have one tinkle before Karina flips the nice hot water off, get dried, get creamed and have another tinkle. When Karina 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 Ela.
  • Back outside, I turn the computer while Karina returns to clean the bathroom. When she comes back she starts poking @ her smartphone until I ask please can she give Ela a quick massage until you leave?
  • At 3:30pm, I sign Karina off with my thanks and byes; she's back same time next Thursday.
  • When PIG mum gets home she nabs half my sausage bun and pours me one mug of some infusion, after which I sneak my mobile into the loo and do another stinky unspeakable while playing Candy Crush before popping online and watching the 6pm bulletin (Seven's) for the 92ND time.
  • Shortly after the news finishes, dad summons me over for dinner. Before joining him @ the gobbling :P table, I walk myself slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle,  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Dinner tonight: dad made pizza! Aww, but he's a sweetheart too coz he also microwaved me one mouthful of rice~ He cut me three/four small slices and even added little pieces of T-Bone steak on top! Also, I had 1.5 little spring rolls and one little ... puff, not curry; um, vegetarian?
  • Dinner was washed down with one mug of green tea, 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.
  • Anyways, 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 Friday, else wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Thursday Post 313b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 4316 (ha, I'm over four grand; that doesn't happen too often! XD) but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTEEN MINUTES online should I get to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 92ND time!! Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

  • Like clockwork, one hour later I'm awakened by PIG mum's noisy daily a-THUMPING around upstairs; 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* 
  • Once PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo, she turns off the heater and then goes back outside awaiting Karina's arrival. Once Karina comes inside, PIG mum bolts off her for morning's work.
  • After Karina gives Uber and me fifteen more minutes, she reenters the room and I use the pot :P for three more tinkles. When she smugly asks who won the second Origin, I snap, "Oh, shut up; the side that wins the first game has a 2/3 chance of winning the third." Then we both burst out laughing, after which I apologise for being rude. XD
  • We get me kitted and I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who's already squirted some toothpaste for me; Ela enjoys her second consecutive break~ Teeth brushed, I sit briefly over the toilet, coming out when I realise I feel like doing a stinky unspeakable.
  • Breakfast is two Weet-Bix with one thin stream of honey, one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread thinly 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*
  • 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 the passenger seat of Karina's car and she tootles me off to my fortnightly shopping trip @ Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown, finding a sidepark along level two.
  • She grabs a trolley for us; I use the loo for one tinkle, grab the Feist book I've been reading these past few weeks/months, find a squashy pink/red/magenta sofa and happily read for about one hour, reaching pg. 222 @ 9:39am, reaching pg. 225 @ 9:45am and reaching pg. 250 @ 10:19am.
  • After posting an update onto Facebook, I visited the loo for one more tinkle and then we began grocery shopping @ Woolies! Caitlin wasn't working today, but when Karina was scanning our items @ the self-serve checkout, there was like an Indian woman with a little kid sitting in the trolley. When the kid started fussing, the mum opened a packet of like tiny teddy bikkies and gave her the packet. When the kid takes one out, I jokingly stretch out my hand for it; to my complete astonishment, the kid looks @ me and then extends her arm to gimme the bikkie! "Aww thanks sweetie but you have it!" I guide her hand back to her mouth. When she doesn't react, I mime eating the bikkie. She smiles and takes a little nibble; when I cheer and mime taking a bigger mouthful, she smiles sweetly and pops the whole bikkie into her mouth. After her mum has finished taking their groceries through the self-serve checkout and turns to leave, I stop her gently with my arm and say your daughter will be too young to remember her kind act but she offered me her bikkie! Although of course I didn't take it and told her to eat it instead; she's such a sweetheart to share her food with a stranger. The Indian mum laughs and reassures me that she's not that sweet when sharing her food with her sister! XD
  • Our last stop before leaving was upstairs to Coles for more groceries, before Karina tootles us off to Warrigal Square for lunch with Pole! Just as she turns into Warrigal Rd, Pole Whatsapps me saying she's just arrived; I reply back we're nearly here too! Unfortunately all the disabled parks are taken, meaning Karina parks outside the Post Office and I hike all the way to Woka Warrigal but aww, isn't Karina a sweetheart? When she sees someone vacating the disabled parking spot directly outside Woka, she moves her car closer for me~
  • Pole gets Hokkien fried rice with a Coke Ribena, I get the baked fish fillet rice with a HK-style milk tea and Karina gets sweet and sour pork with not one, but two Cokes!
  • Over lunch, we just chat. Pole says Ping Yee's looking after Ezra today but Zebby's attending some LEGO engineering class! She had to leave early today because she had some training @ work, learning how to use some new bed; the bed has like attachments!
  • While Karina's tootling me home, her mobile suddenly rings. She's got it mounted just above the handbrake; I glance @ it and say to her, "Someone called John Mark's calling you. Would you like me to answer for you?" Karina laughs and says nah; she then adds that's my partner and I've told him before NOT to ring me until I've finished work and this morning I TOLD him I'd not finish until 3:30! I laugh and say you can ring him once you get me home while I'm ringing dad.
  • Back home, we both ring away, before Karina unlocks the door, I turn off the alarm and take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Karina who rinses out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • I have one tinkle before Karina flips the nice - bbl!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
  • Back home, I turn off the alarm and take a
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 5878 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "Choosing God's Will". Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

  • Lol, when we arrive back @ the cinema entrance after second breakfast, the cinema STILL hasn't opened yet even though there are already like a dozen people waiting outside! Donna tells me to step up onto the kurb and then lean against some large ceramic pot to await someone opening the cinema doors.
  • Once inside, I show Donna where the lift is and we catch it up onto the cinema floor. I walk with Donna to the end where she scans our pre-bought tickets and then we both visit the bathroom once before finding our cinema. I'm slightly disappointed that we don't buy any food this time but Donna says we'll get lunch afterwards so hey.
  • When we saw the first Minions movie we had the entire cinema to ourselves; this time, the cinema looked almost full!
  • I LOVED it! :D 
  • After we both visited the loo once more and took a photo from the photo booth, 'twas lunchtime! Donna chose Grill'd; we both got some 'healthy' fried chicken burger and we shared chips three ways meaning chips, sweet potato fries and zucchini fries; they even came with three sauces!
  • Before Donna tootled me home she popped into somewhere and bought cheese tarts for us!
  • Back home, I used the toilet for one tinkle and then headed down to the gobbling :P table where PIG mum had invited Dionna in for a cuppa. I drank some kinda infusion, Donna drank coffee and I munched one of those cheese tarts; delicious! 
  • When Donna left, I walked her out, used the loo for one tinkle and popped online.
  • Whoops, less than five minutes left, so just super-briefly:
  • Kim minded me from 4-6pm. I attended choir rehearsal online but it's not happening next week.
  • Used loo, ate dinner and returned onlinbe.
  • Anyways, 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 great week!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

  • Lol, poor Donna tries knocking on some house on Alan Cres.! XD She then rings PIG mum asking ah, where are you? But she arrives eventually. XD I climb into Donna's passenger seat and we're off!

  • Lol, we arrive so early the cinemas aren't even open yet! Donna says she needs a coffee; we walk over to Perks Kitchen and she gets us both a mocha and a chocolate chip muffin! The inner hobbit in me approves of second breakfast. XD

Wednesday Post 313

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4938 steps (ha, should've cracked half a normal person before today runs out XD; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Enduring When Obeying Hurts'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Mind Your Mind' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Run From Sin' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWO MINUTES online tonight after online choir rehearsal!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:05am and after one pot :P trip I immediately tried falling back asleep because I vaguely remember PIG mum saying she'd prod me up @ like 7:20am!
  • Sleep didn't return coz ten minutes later, PIG mum began her noisy daily a-THUMPING around upstairs! Instead, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh* 
  • After PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo, she helps me exceedingly slightly with not only the bra strap but the tee (because dearest dad's still home) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
  • PIG mum comes back to help me with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO 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 demands I eat breakfast for her first.
  • Breakfast is one bowl of mashed-up bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) with one slice of toast very lightly spread with avocado and perhaps even more 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.

  • Once I'd used up my most important two hours of the day, I got offline and headed over to the gobbling :P table, asking PIG mum please to feed me some arvo tea.
  • Lol, clclever girl: she remembered the sushi roll I'd totally forgotten about yesterday! Note to self: don't forget about sushi rolls again; one day later and the rice has like gone all stiff, eww. XD PIG mum also poured me one warm mug of some infusion and I happily read the book club novel for one hour, reaching pg. 400 @ 4:05pm.
  • One more tinkle for me before I returned online; waiting for Kim to take me to Toastmasters now~

 Good afternoon and probably one final greeting for today! Em's probable final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 2273. Righteo, probable final, final events for today?

  • When Hannah announces her arrival @ 9am, PIG mum lets her in. Hannah knocks, pushes open the door, says good morning and fifteen more minutes ... when I nod Uber @ her, she wisely makes herself scarce, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
  • When she comes back, I use the pot :P for three more tinkles, we commiserate over the Origin two outcome, get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Ela enjoys another morning's break from having to hold the toothbrush~ Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for only one tinkle, coming out when PIG mum demands I eat breakfast for her first.
  • Breakfast is one bowl of mashed-up bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD), one slice of toast 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.

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

  •  Whoops less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:

  • David came with a Japanese TAFE physio student; her name was sth like Yakult! XD Physio today: twenty-five sit-to-stands, 100 reaches for Era, passive stretch for Ela, 100 reaches for Ela and clasping hands reaching overhead.

  • Used loo for one tinkle while Hannah closed and locked windows then climbed aboard Hannah's tank and went to Calamvale Central to buy pork salad roll and groceries; discovered on arrival that the parking permit wasn't in my bad!

  • Went inside and bought a BBQ pork salad roll from uncle and then returned to car while Hannah bought groceries from Woolies. She found the milk but no luck with the facial tissues.

  • Got home and took a nice hopt shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Hannah who rinsed out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

  • Dried, creamed and rekitted lunch was my yummy BBQ pork salad roll plus one mug of green tea.

  • Said my thanks and byes to Hannah @ 1pm; she's back same time next Monday.

  • 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 hopefully read for one hour.

  • Kim's taking me to Toastmasters tonight! Very disappointed that we're not having our meeting @ the pub for our changeover function but hey, hopefully next month~

  • Toms: Donna's taking me to see MINIONS2 in GOLD CLASS!! *explodes with excitement* She says we'll have lunch afterwards @ Garbo and it's her shout; that's why I'm skipping seeing Ray for one week.

  • Kim's minding me 4-6pm.

  • Anyways, doubt I'll have time to post after getting home toms night so hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 312b

 Heylo again and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I get to post online before midday. XD Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding only 395 steps (because obviously, IU've not left the house yet); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'A Hiding Place For The Helpless'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Wait On God!' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "A Friend Of God's Friends" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-SIX MINUTES online after I get home this arvo!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:40am, and after one pot :P trip I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh* 
  • Usually nature calls hourly after that initial pot :P trip, but happy iness was snoring soundly all the way until dearest dad very thoughtfully walks silently along the hallway and unpops the lock into the garage before waking for another pot :P trip - at 8:20am! Maybe dad had been watching some soccer match this morning?
  • After dearest dad kisses me bye, retucks me back into bed and leaves for his hard day's work, PIG mum almost immediately begins her noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Around 8:45am, she lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Hannah's arrival @ 9am.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

  • Almost forgot: we went and visited Uncle Slam's mum this arvo! She's such a darling; when we arrived she lemme sit in her wheelie walker and immediately fed me an egg tart! She's cheeky, too: when we took a photo together, I asked maay I  take my face shield off but mum says you might need to ask permission and I was like are you gonna find a nurse for me to ask? Granny was just like nah, close the door and nobody will notice! XD
  • Used loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm.

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 5652 (ha, I'm more than half a normal person today XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'How To Be Transformed'. Anyways, continuing events for today?

  • Lunch was one bowl of rice leftovers and one mug of green tea. At 1pm I signed Annette off with my thanks and byes; she's back again same time next Monday.
  • Once I finished lunch, I popped online briefly, before visiting the loo once more @ 1:40pm and climbing into the backseat of PIG mum's 4WD.
  • Off she tootled me to see Aunty Anna for some massage and acupuncture. Didn't see neither Vincent nor Kat today, although I had to sheepishly interrupt PIG mum's incessant yapping and ask could she please get me kitted? I'm about to pee my pants. XD
  • Ineed, once I was over the loo I weed for nearly forty seconds straight! XD
  • Back home, PIG mum fed me some fruit and one mug of some infusion before hitting the sack upstairs. I happily read for one hour, reaching pg. 375 @ 6:03pm. Before returning online, I used the loo for one more tinkle.
  • When dearest dad summoned me over for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle and walked myself slowly and safely over to the gobbling :P table,  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over
  • Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa dearest dad's home-grown snow peas, lotsa yummy wombok and some leftovers from last night's hotpot, i.e. two slices of beef, maybe one slice of fish and one tiny chunk of crumbed fish. Oh, also 1/3 of the hardboiled egg I'd forgotten last night.
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl 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.
  • Anyways, 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 wishing everyone a smashing Tuesday ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Monday Post 312b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2307. Righteo, potential final, final events for Monday?

  • Sure enough, one hour later dearest dad very thoughtfully walks silently and thoughtfully down the hallway and unpops the lock into the garage; that's my wakeup call to use the pot :P a third time, after which I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh* 
  • After dearest dad 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 shortly before PIG mum begins 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.
  • After Annette arrives and gives me fifteen more minutes, I use the pot :P once more for three tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head  over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Annette who squirts me some toothpaste; Ela starts this week with a break, yeah~
  • Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for only one tinkle, coming out when PIG mum orders that I eat breakfast first.
  • Annette gives me two Weet-Bix with a thin stream of honey over each one, one slice of toast smeared lightly with 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*

  •  Breakfast finished, I sit over the loo once more. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

     

  • After breakfast I climb into Annette's passenger seat, she kindly helps me with my seatbelt and then she tootles us off to Underwood 
    MarketPlace, parking around the back and grabbing a trolley for us. Wish Hannah would do that ... *sigh*

  • First we buy groceries from Woolies. No facial tissues left, but I bought a bottle of milk.

  • Then we just sat and played with our mobiles until PIG mum Whatsapped me saying she was home. Had a very unproductive morning; didn't pass anymore levels of anything. >< XD

  • After buying a sushi for arvo tea Annette tootled me home and I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Annette who kindly helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

  • I had one tinkle before Annette flipped the nice hot water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Annette rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was doing Erf's shoelace and one last when she was giving Wally back to Ela.

Monday Post 312

 Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total from Sunday's actually 4462 (just a pity that the poor Maroons lost pretty badly last night ><); secondly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2307 steps; thirdly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Fear That Draws Us In'; thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic from last night's "God's Provision'" and fourthly, TWFT topic's 'Jesus Knows Your Potential' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-FIVE MINUTES online after I get back home from seeing Aunty Anna for some massage and acupuncture!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Unsurprising that nature called partway through the night after the Maroons' disappointing loss; nature also called again around 6:50am and after one more pot :P trip I fell back asleep straight away since I knew dearest dad would get ready to leave for work one hour later.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Sunday Post 312b

 Heylo again and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I get to post online before midday. XD Firstly, today I've only been hard @ work plodding 539 steps (because obviously, I've not left the house yet); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Death Trap Called Covetousness'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'When You Fall, Jesus Prays For You'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Walking With Others' and fifthly, the spam count for the weekend's just four but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-NINE MINUTES online after I get home this arvo!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Nature called around 2:45am last night; I used the pot :P once more @ 6:40am before immediately falling back asleep since I knew PIG mum would get noisy less than one hour later!
  • Sure enough, around 6:20am PIG mum starts a-THUMPING around upstairs, which wakes me for another pot :P trip, 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*

  •  Around 7:30am, PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with not only the bra strap but the tee (since dearest dad's still @ home) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen minutes first.

  • PIG mum comes back to help with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, after which 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.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 312c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 5571. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post, I went and watched Pentatonix YouTube videos.
  • Once I'd used up my most important two hours for today, I went over to the gobbling :P table and helped PIG mum make chocolate cookies for Dr. Lee's birthday! She's got a foolproof plan, too: if these turn out well, we'll give them to him but if they're ugly/unsuccessful she's already bought some chocolate to give him. XD
  • Around 9pm I excused myself, used the loo for one more tinkle and returned online.
  • Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. Am just pissed with CODA coz they can't find anyone to take me to church toms, meaning poor PIG mum will haveta watch the Chinese service online before taking me to BCAC for ESS.
  • Our Winter Excellent Cup's being held afterwards! Dr. Esther has said she'll drive me to the local state high, feed me lunch and drop me back home afterwards provided I cheer for her team; deal! XD
  • But most excitingly of all, it's Origin Two toms night!! QUEENSLAND MAROONS FTW!!
  • Righteo, hope to see everyone @ church toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 312b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 5285 (ha, I'm more than half a normal person today XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Revealing God Through Our Livcs'. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

  • When dad said dinnertime, I used the loo for one more tinkle and climbed into the backseat of his 4WD.
  • Dinner tonight was @ Vietnamese Hut @ Runcorn Plaza! PIG mum says she's brought me here for lunch before, not that I remember. XD
  • I think I prefer Japanese food over Vietnamese coz their cuisine seems very dry? Well, the rice, two lil slices of crispy skin chicken, half a rice paper roll and the vegetables (carrot twigs and cucumber slices) were really dry.
  • After dad tootled us home I used the loo for one more tinkle and popped online.
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl after one final loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 312

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4189 steps (sweet, I'm over four grand; that doesn't happen too often! XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'I Can Be Content In Every Circumstance'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Sparrows' and fourthly, Our Daily Breas's devotional topic's 'Dark Moments, Deep Prayers' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-NINE MINUTES online when I get back from our weekly family dinner out tonight!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Wow, has it really been eight whole days since I enjoyed an awesome night's sleep? Since PIG mum demands I get offline @ 9:45pm and prepare to hit the sack, I'd already fallen asleep and woken with a full bladder @ 11:50am but since I'd used the pot :P and was back under the covers before midnight, I'm count that an awesome sleep coz I somehow slept right through PIG mum's noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs and snored happily until she went a-THUMPING upstairs and got changed for her half day's work! 
  • 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* 
  • At 7:30pm PIG mum lets herself into my room and hits me with the eye goo before rushing off to her half day's work. After dearest dad has retucked me back into bed, promised to stay quiet so that Uber and I can happily snore and said he'd leave me some leftovers for lunch, before returning to sleep 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*
  • Incredibly, I then have a MASSIVE snore and don't wake again for the pot :P until 9:45am!
  •  Dad let Nisha inside when she arrived, Nisha knocked, opened the door, stuck her head inside and called cheerily, "Hi Em, fifteen more minutes?" Uber nodded @ her and she wisely removed herself before incurring the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
  • After I'd counted down my fifteen more minutes, I announced to Nisha that I was hungry and swung myself over to the pot :P for two/three more tinkles. After I'd transferred myself back into bed, we got me kitted and I went over to the bathroom and brushed teeth, Ela enjoying her last break from having to hold the toothbrush this week.
  • Teeth brushed, I drink one mug of water and then sit over the loo proper. 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's cooked ham and eggs and thanks to Nisha who cooks the bread crunchy with butter and adds one slice of cheese for me. I drink my first big mug of white tea and two sugars, happily reading for thirty minutes. This morning I reached pg. 300 @ 11:24am.
  • Suddenly, dad rings home and asks me to get Nisha to please check the bookshelf near the front door to see if he's left his mobile there! Nisha finds it, brings it to the table and I Whatsapp dad to let him know. Dad rings again saying he'll come pick it up.
  • Only we leave before he gets back! I scrawl him a note with a big love heart telling him his phone's on the kitchen table and tell Nisha to place it directly inside the front door so the moment dad opens it, he'll see the note. Then I get into Nisha's passenger seat, she kindly helps me with my seatbelt and she tootles me off to Calamvale Central for walkies and grocery shopping.
  • Nisha grabs a trolley for us while I'm untangling my bag from the seatbelt and then we head into Woolies to buy two things. We got the bread but there weren't any facial tissues left; Nisha also got herself a chicken caesar salad for lunch.
  • Our last stop before Nisha tootled me home was the sushi place, where I chose a calamari sushi for my arvo tea.
  • Back home, I turned the alarm off and then took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Nisha who rinsed out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • I had one tinkle before Nisha flipped the nice hot water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Nisha rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was doing Elf's AFO straps and one last when she was giving Wally back to Ela.
  • Back outside, Nisha made me another mug of white tea, reheated rice leftovers for my lunch and went to clean the bathroom before sitting down also and munching her caesar salad. She made me one last mug of white tea with two sugars (third), after I'd finished my second.
  • I used the loo once more for two tinkles @ 1:50pm when dad came home. He signed Nisha off and she left five minutes early. She's back next Saturday 10am till 2pm again.
  • Dad hurried me up outta the loo and walked with me up the front yard to get to where he'd parked the 4WD. After I'd climbed in, he tootled me off to church to play ping pong.
  • There were like nine people playing today! Hence why we only played three rounds together and not four; thanks also to dad who took me once to the loo partway through.
  • Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle and sat down @ the gobbling :P table to eat my yummy calamari sushi roll and drink mone mug of something warm. Also had half a cup of some kinda bubble tea: a new place opened @ Sunnybank Plaza that's offering buy one get one free! PIG mum ordered some kinda green tea for dad while we shared sth that was milky but didn't contain any tea that had like pearls? 'Twas yummy but PIG mum says once the promotion's over she'll not buy there again coz one cup cost like $7.50!
  • Before popping online I used the loo for one more tinkle.
  • Yay dad says he'll take us out for dinner tonight since I'm not free Sunday!
  • Toms: just church, nothing special. Well, the special thing's that our Winter Excellence Cup's being held @ like the Rochedale State High school! Obviously I'm too disabled to play but I'm coming along coz we're having lunch together first and Dr. Esther says she'll take me providing I cheer for her team! Deal. XD
  • Hopefully PIG mum will feed me dinner @ 6pm coz Origin Two coverage begins @ 7: GO THE MIGHTY MAROONS!!
  •  Anyways, hopefully bbl after dinner, else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

  • After publishing the previous post, I played mobile games for forty minutes! Would've been forty-five but for PIG mum getting off the couch and moving around; I switched to blogging instead. XD

  • Toms: Nisha's minding me 10am till 2pm. Hopefully dad'll let her take me to Calamvale Central for facial tissue and sushi buying.

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 2148 (ha, I'm over two grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'God Reveals Truth'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

  • When the parents got home from walkies, dearest dad went swimming but surprise: PIG mum didn't hit the sack; instead, I think she cooked dinner!
  • After dad got home from swimming and PIG mum summoned me to dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle before walking 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 dearest dad's home-grown hairy melon, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa yummy wombok and two small slices of totally tasteless soup beef.
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup (in which there was one more lil slice of tasteless soup beef); 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.
  • Anyways, 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 week plus what's happening toms, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!

Friday Post 312

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2148 steps (ha, I'm over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Faith Honours Him Whom It Trusts'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Don't Withhold It - Give It!'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Message Of The Cross' and fifthly, the spam count for the week's thirty-four. Anyways, events for today?

  • Nature called around 2:30am last night; I used the pot :P again when the garbage trucks again THUNDERED down our road BEFORE the Sun had risen (the sky had started to lighten but there wasn't any Sun yet) and once more @ 6:30am, before spending I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh* 
  • Then I snore happily with Uber until dearest dad silently and very thoughtfully walks down the hallway and unpops the lock leading into the garage before waking for another pot :P trip.
  • After dearest dad retucks me into bed, kisses me bye and leaves for his hard days work, Uber and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P when PIG mum befgins her noisy daily a-THUMPING around upstairs and wakes me. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Peggy's arrival @ 9am.
  • Peggy gives me fifteen more minutes but tries to come back thirty seconds too early! She tries to pull the blankets off me, but I just pull them back, curl up and ignore her for another thirty seconds before using the pot :P once more for three tinkles.
  • We get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth (thanks to Peggy who squirts some toothpaste for me) then sit over the loo for just one tinkle, coming out when PIG mum orders I eat breakfast first.
  • Peggy serves me three Weet-Bix with a thin line of honey over each, one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread thinly 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!
  • Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
  • Did a stinky unspeakable and then Peggy tootled me off to the NAB to see Bianca for two hours. Thanks to her who helped me with my seatbelt both ways~
  • Physio today: lay down for Sonia and Bianca to do a TARDEU for Elf, thirty minutes tilt table, rolling in Elf, leaning forward and five sit-to-stands with left weightshift.
  • Came home and showered - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was one bowl of yummy pasta PIG mum cooked - she even lemme have seconds! Drank some infusion with that~
  • Booted computer up, used loo for two more tinkles and signed Peggy off with my thanks and byes. She's back 9-2 next Friday.
  • Lol, PIG mum's already bugged me about getting offline ... *sigh*
  • Hoping to eat arvo tea, read for one hour and watch the 6pm bulletin for the 92ND time tonight!
  • Toms: Nisha's minding me 10-2. Will hopefully buy sushi from Calamvale Central.
  • Will shower around 12:30pm coz I don't get Saturday 4-6pm support anymore.
  • Hopefully dad will take me out to play ping pong with him toms arvo!

One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 4046. Ha, I'm just over four grand; that doesn't happen too often! XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • After using up my most important two hours of the day, I switched to playing mobile games. Not that I passed anymore levels. 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.
  • Tonight's ice cream night, yay! Like I say every week, a very little's better than none @ all! XD
  • Toms: *sigh* seriously, is there any point praying to God and asking Him please NOT to send the noisy garbage truck THUNDERING down our road to tip bins until AFTER the son has risen sufficiently for me to see the time on the wall? For the last three weeks, He's been going screw you and totally ignoring my very reasonable request but for the last three weeks, I've shown Him that I'm not trying to win Him; I'm just not gonna let Him win and I've successfully coaxed myself back to sleep without any accident.
  • Think Peggy's minding me 9-1, if she's finished her holidays? Home renovation ... does that count as a holiday?
  • Peggy/someone will take me to the NAB for two hours with Bianca and see me home and showered before leaving @ 2pm.
  • Tiff isn't free to come gimme OT toms arvo; think I've got a free arvo! Sweet; hoping to enjoy my most important two hours of the day online, ask PIG mum for some arvo tea, read for one hour and hopefully watch the 6pm bulletin for the 92ND time! Unless I can persuade dad to take us out for our once-weekly dinner coz I can't Sunday; I'm watching Origin Two!
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

  • 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 cauliflower, lotsa sweet carrot, one small slice of some soup meat and one wee chunk of crumbed fish dabbed with some mayo, which I obviously saved for last.
  • 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.

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3123 steps (ha, I'm over three grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'How We Must Fight For Holiness'; thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Drastic Measures' and fourthly, TWFT topic's 'How To Be Financially Secure' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed   FORTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm bulletin (Nine's) for the 91ST time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, for the first time in five days, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:40am and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since I remembered Karina was coming @ 7:30am!
  • Yup, PIG mum's daily a-THUMPING around awoke me for another pot :P trip, 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* 
  • When Karina arrives, PIG mum lets her inside before bolting off for her morning's work. Karina says good morning and gives us fifteen more minutes when Uber nods @ her; after she comes back I use the pot :P once more for three tinkles and we get me kitted before I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who's squirted me some toothpaste already; after brushing teeth I sit briefly over the loo and just come out to the gobbling :P table when I realise I feel like doing a stinky unspeakable.
  • Breakfast is two Weet-Bix with one light stream of honey on top, one slice of light rye bread (white's better, BTW XD) 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 Karina's passenger seat and she tootles me off to GCCW! Thanks to her who helped me with my seatbelt all day~

  • At the library, I used the loo once before entering meeting room one, grabbing my usual spot. Karina left to buy groceries for PIG mum.

  • Nine people attended today, there was one newcomer called George and our next homework topic's 'Flood'.

  • Afterwards, I used the loo for one more tinkle and Karina tootled us off for lunch with Rev. Chris and Pastor Grace! Since we got there early, she visited both Woka Warrigal and Rice Paper to see which one sold four treasure rice cheaper: Woka won.

  • All the booth seats were taken and we sat @ some regular table but just when I was about to message Chris and Grace to tell them where we were, a waitress started clearing the plates from an empty booth seat! "Hey, may I sit there please?" I asked her. She answers in Cantonese, "Hor yee hor yee!"

  • Chris and Grace were late because there was a cherry picker blocking their way! Grace donated to me her corn soup, although she warned was very watery. I got the four treasure rice Reverend Chris had last time; my four treasured were a salted egg, charsiu, soya sauce chicken and two fried chicken wings! I drank a HK-style milk tea with mine while Karina drank not one but TWO Cokes! Over lunch we just chatted; Grace taught me that egg shells are permeable and Chris said tonight they're visiting some night noodle markets near QUT Gardens Point!

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

  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, I boot the computer up while Karina goes and cleans the bathroom. At 4pm I sign her off with my thanks and byes. She's back next Thursday same time, although I cheekily tell her I'll text her next Monday and gloat how Queensland won the second Origin game too. XD

  • When PIG mum gets home, she passes me one banana, two/three milk chocolate Pocky and one mug of some infusion for arvo tea, after which I sneak my mobile into the loo and do another stinky unspeakable before plopping online.

  • Looking forward to watching the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 91ST time tonight!

  • Even better, it's ice cream night tonight; like I say every week, a very little's better than none @ all!

  • Toms: think Peggy's finished her holidays and will take me too the NAB for my two hour session with Bianca. Wonder if I'll get to hike the Great Court once again? 

  • Tiff's not free to come gimme OT this arvo; I should be free after 1pm. PIG mum originally said sth about going to see Dr. Ku and getting two referrals but I think she changed her mind.

  • Will hopefully get to spend my most important two hours of the day online, read for one hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 92ND time!

  • Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

  • After publishing the previous post, I start playing phone games. XD Luckily, I hear PIG mum approach and turn the screen off before she takes away the mobile for charging. XD
  • Instead, I continue writing my personal blog post.
  • At 9pm, I walk 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: Karina's helping me up @ 7:30am and taking me to GCCW!
  • Looking forward to meeting Pastor Grace and Reverend Chris for lunch @ either Rice Paper/Woka Warrigal; Pastor Grace hasn't decided where yet.

  • Surprisingly, PIG mum came downstairs before dearest dad got home from swimming!

  • Dinner tonight: rice, lotsayummy wombok, lotsa two other vegetables and 1.5 chunks of the delicious BBQ chook PIG mum recently got from Costco - I even got a slice of skin!

Wednesday Post 312b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 2287 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "God's Desire For Intimacy". Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

  • When Kim announced her arrival one minute late, thanks to PIG mum who let her in, thus saving me from a potentially dangerous trip to the front door myself. I walked myself slowly and safely into the bathroom,  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • So a nice hot shower for me - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was all done after just 10%, but happily leaned fully against the side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling Kim back.
  • After I flipped the nice hot water off, I mostly dried myself (thanks to Kim who kindly helped me dry my back, Era and both calves), 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 and both laces). Then I sat over the loo for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, washed and dried Era and walked myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, again  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
  • Arvo tea was one yummy banana, two/three milk chocolate Hello Panda bikkies and one mug of green tea. Didn't read coz my mobile was on the table. As for Kim, after cleaning the bathroom she very gently and very sporadically massaged Ela.
  • At 5:25 I headed over to the computer for online choir rehearsal! The mobile gave me the rehearsal's notification before the computer this week.
  • At 5:55pm I used the loo for two more tinkles and signed Kim off with my thanks and byes. The parents returned home from walkies just when she was leaving; dearest dad went swimming and PIG mum hit pigland upstairs.
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 312

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1855 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Satisfaction That Defeats Sin'; thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Abundance Meets Need' and fourthly, TWFT topic's 'You Need A Support System'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Nature called once @ 12:45am; I used the pot :P again this morning @ 6:40am 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*

  •  Nature usually calls hourly after that initial daylight pot :P trip but happiness was snoring soundly with Uber and not waking again to relieve myself until dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently down the hallway and unpopped the lock into the garage before waking for the pot :P again.

  • After dearest dad kisses me bye, retucks me back into bed and leaves for his hard day's work, Uber and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking around 9:30am to use the pot :P once more before I start counting down fifteen more minutes, telling myself I'll bang the wall and call for PIG mum if she's still not stored by 9:45am. Full credit to her who remembers to get up when I'm only about four minutes into the count! XD

  • PIG mum lets 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 before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first. She comes back to help with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO 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 for her first.

  • Breakfast is one bowl of mashed-up bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with 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 me off to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Of course, she gleefully forces me to buckle my own seatbelt all day; we also haveta listen to her mix of Chinese songs all day too and today, Era helps Ela stretch for twenty-five minutes before Ela opens her palm 150 times, holding each for a count of five.

  • Aww, I feel loved upon entering Ray's place; once he greets us, he immediately asks after my sore leg~

  • Whoops, almost outta time, so just super-briefly:

  • Get massage and acupuncture from Ray

  • Get home, send off GCCW homework.

  • Have one bowl of rice leftovers for lunch; I really like the honey garlic chicken PIG mum cooked!

  • Used loo for one tinkle and popped online.

  • Kim's minding me 4-6pm. 

  • Have online choir practice from 5:30pm till 6:45pm.

  • Toms: Karina's helping me up @ 7:30am and taking me to GCCW!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 311d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 4324. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Thanks to deareast dad who just brought me over three orange slices he'd peeled the ends of for me~
  •  Toms: perhaps expect a pissy plodding total from me? Think I'm only seeing Ray for some massage and acupuncture, although I'm sure PIG mum's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him, considering how she didn't get the chance for doing that with Aunty Anna this week, since 'twas Hannah who took me. XD
  • Will haveta finish my GCCW homework after I get home.
  • Will haveta ring CODA toms arvo and find out who's minding me from 4pm till 6pm since the roster still says TBA.
