 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 2728. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • 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: Verena's minding me 7:30  till like 3:30pm since poor Karina's really crook. She's actually been here thrice but that was back in January, hence why I've totally forgotten her! XD I'll ask her to hunt for a Father's Day present for me while I'm reading in the library and then hopefully she eats Chinese food coz I need my once-weekly HK-style milk tea! XD Well coffee milk tea toms. XD
  • Doubt dad'll take us out for dinner together toms night ... once I've used up my most important two hours of the day, I'll prolly watch Thursday night football: the Storm are playing the Eels. 
  • Righteo, hope everyone's having a smashing week!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 2600 (sweet I'm over 2.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Pilgrim/Tourist'? Anyways, just briefly, continuing tonight's events?

  • Got up around 9:30am, brushed teeth, had breakfast and did a stinky unspeakable.
  • Popped online until PIG mum fed me lunch early since Kim was arriving @ midday and taking me to the NAB.
  • Physio with Georgia today: Reaching for Ela, bimanual task holding, lifting and placing down balls thirty sit-to-stands and eight laps walking long corridor. Lol when I finished my session I sat down outside the vestib room when suddenly Sonia and Denny approach, plant themselves in front of me and demand to know which one's the scarier teacher! Me: um, may I plead the fifth? You know, the American law that gives you the right to remain silent lest you accidentally incriminate yourself? Denny roars with laughter and replies I think you mean the second! Me: oh, I dunno the number. XD
  • Best of all, Kim shouted me a hot chocolate for working hard today! She said she'd had an iced chocolate herself.
  • Took a nice hot shower when I got back home - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 15% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was three chocolate Pocky sticks, one warm mug of some infusion and this really DISGUSTING pear; I think 'twas called a Corella pear? Usually pears are my favourite fruit nut this one was GROSS! >< XD
  • Used the loo once, popped online and watched the 6pm bulletin (Nine's) for the 137TH time.
  • Used the loo again and had dinner with the parents: rice tonight, lotsa cos lettuce, lotsa soup carrot and some fish. Oh, and two strands of spiral pasta.
  • Drank soup, took bowl to sink and returned online.
  • 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 smashing week!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 436b

 Heylo again and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I get the chance to post online before midday. XD Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding only 436 steps (coz obviously, I've not left the house yet); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's "Church Growth God's Way"; thirdly, TWFT topic's; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Build Your Life On God's Word" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'When Knowledge Hurts' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and FIFTEEN MINUTES online after I get back home from physio!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Oh, just realised that I clean forgot about last night! Well, my final, final plodding total for Tuesday's actually 3634 (ha, I'm over 3.5 grand XD) and Kim took me to Toastmasters but only four people attended last night ... I perhaps hear a death knell for our club: Neil reports we must have eight members to stay alive ... but back to today:
  • Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently down the hallway and pulled the bathroom's sliding door shut @ 6:35am; after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since I knew he'd get ready to leave for work one hour later!
  • Sure enough, exactly one hour later I'm reawoken for another pot :P trip, this time when dad again very thoughtfully walks silently down the hallway and unpops the lock into the garage; after the 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* 
    Cheers,
  • 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 noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room (first thing she told me was that she had a headache) to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly completely kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.

  • Em. ^^
    P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 137TH time: Uhlmann, Perrottet, Chalmers, Heinke, Xai, Cassidy, de Jersey (heard), McNamara, Kramer, Millward, Taylan (heard), Genders, Simms, Gorbachev (heard), Kearsley, POutin (heard), Albanese (heard), Cavallaro, Larkin, Norring (heard), Greer, Fortunato (first name), Foti, Bezzina, Moss, Karine (first name), Duprie, Palaszczuk, Fentiman, Heinke, Meares (heard), Jorgensen, Morton, Zalotoris, Im, Leishmann (heard), Jardim, Billson, O'Hara, Kotoni (first name), Staggs, Woolf, Vo,  Starc, Zampa (heard), Duckworth (heard), Fagan, Fenech, Shaw and Capewell. 68.94USc = 1AUD.Wally Lewis read the sports report and Garry Youngberry reads the weather report from Northlakes. Brisbane was 16-25 today. Mt. Gravatt toms: 11-23. Sunrise 6:01am Sunrise 5:35pm

Wednesday Post 436

 Good morning! :P

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 435

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2897 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Six Things It Means To Be In Jesus Christ'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "You Can't Change People" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Leave The Light On'. Righteo, events for today?

  • Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:40am and after one pot :P trip I immediately fall back asleep since I'm sure dearest dad will get ready to leave for work less than one hour later!
  • Sure enough, I'm awoken for another pot :P trip when dearest dad silently and very thoughtfully walks silently along the hallway and unpops the lock leading into the garage; 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* 
  • 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 noisy PIG mum makes her usual a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Hannah's arrival @ 9am.
  • When Hannah arrives, she knocks, says good morning and fifteen more minutes ... Uber nods @ her and she wisely removes herself, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
  • When Hannah returns, I use the pot :P for three more tinkles, we get me kitted and I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth, where Ela enjoys not having to hold the toothbrush. That done, I sit over the loo for only one tinkle, coming out when I remember PIG mum's demand that I eat breakfast for her first.
  • Breakfast is one bowl of the (less yummy) sticky bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast thinkly spread with avocado and also 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 Hannah's tank and she tootles us off to Calamvale Central for grocery shopping, walkies and pork salad roll buying.

  • Our first stop's the Calamvale Mega Discount Fruit Mart for pears.

  • Then we head into Woolies and buy two boxes of facial tissues. Hannah buys her own groceries too.

  • Then we've got like one hour to sit outside Woolies and play with our mobiles, yay! Hannah goes and buys herself three sushi rolls for lunch while I pass like four more Jewel Hero levels!

  • Suddenly, the fire alarm ERUPTS! It's frigging noisy ... we just stay where we are, unsure if we're meant to move/stay.

  • Until some male voice comes over the intercom and orders everyone to make their way out the nearest exit!

  • Hannah and I push the trolley out the Calamvale Central Bakery exit; I spot Chatterbox Cafe with chairs and ask Hannah may I sit there? She replies sure and we make our way over there; huge thanks to some random lady who sees us coming and immediately grabs a chair out for me.

  • I try ringing PIG mum but when she doesn't answer just Whatsapp her and tell her the situation while Hannah rings CODA and tells Katie the same thing. Later, we see a fire engine with lights flashing circling the car park.

  • Finally, some uniformed lady walks outta the entrance/exit point, waves her arm around and declares, "Right, you're all good to go!" I quickly Whatsapp that to PIG mum and then Hannah and I head back into the centre and I place my bahn mi order with the uncle. While he's making it, the aunty appears and I ask her what happened? I see fire engine but no fire? She huffs back angrily, "False alarm; happened yesterday too!" ><"

  • Came home and took my quickest possible shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Hannah who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye fully shut.

  • Dried, creamed and rekitted lunch was my delicious pork salad roll plus one mug of warm sth. At 2pm, I signed Hannah off with my thanks and byes; she's back same time next week.

  • Used the loo for one more tinkle and then plopped online.

  • Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day, I'll use the loo for one tinkle, head over to the gobbling :P table and ask PIG mum for some arvo tea. She was mean not to lemme get a sushi roll today; I won't get any rice tonight! *wails*

  • But since it's the 5th Friday, Kim's taking me to Toastmasters tonight! Looking forward to getting some dinner from Maccas afterwards; never mind that Happy Meals were what I out surely MORE THAN TWO DECADES ago!!

  • Toms: PIG mum says she's gonna ring and cancel my appointment to see Ray coz Aunty Anna says it's not good to get acupuncture when you're sick? Suppose I'll just attend NAB physio toms, although I can't remember who's taking me. No online choir either, but hopefully I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 137TH time!!

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

Monday Post 435c

 Good afternoon! Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2487. Righteo, continuing today's events?

  • When dearest dad arrived home for lunch, PIG mum was taking her first nap for the day.
  • When she woke up, came downstairs and summoned me for lunch, I 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.
  • Lunch was one yummy tuna in tomato and onion sandwich cut into four triangles with one slice of cheese and one warm mug of yummy peppermint tea.
  • Lunch over, 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. 
  • Off to see Aunty Anna for a massage soon; apparently acupuncture's not good for you while you're having your monthlies?
  • Annette's minding me from 4-6pm.
  • Will get to watch the 6pm bulletin when she leaves coz dad's confirmed we're not eating out for their wedding anniversary.
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl, else hope everyone has a smashing day toms!

Monday Post 435b

 Heylo again and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I get to post before midday. XD Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2430 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's "Forgiven For Jesus' Sake"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Has Your Love For God Grown Cold?' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Seeds Of Time'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Lol, when PIG mum's daily noisy a-THUMPING around awoke me just after 7am, I thought I'd scored another awesome night's sleep, but when I looked over @ the pot I could see it wasn't empty! How the heck had I managed to relieve myself during the night but then totally forget about it?? XD
  • PIG mum came downstairs and did a RAT on me; only after me getting a negative result did she help me with both my bra and tee *(since dearest dad's still home) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
  • PIG mum comes back to help with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth (poor Zla). Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for only one tinkle before washing and drying Era then walking myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • Breakfast was one yummy bowl of Minus :P all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water but where was the toast? My hopes of getting second breakfast @ Maccas afterwards began to go up! XD

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

After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely to the loo, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

  • After washing and drying Era, I climbed into the backseat of PIG mum's 4WD and she tootled me off to my once-yearly checkup to see Dr. Vu! I knew we might be destined for a long trip when PIG mum immediately ignored the GPS who said turn right onto Logan Rd. after Gaskell Street and turned left instead. XD 
  • Actually, she only ignored one more direction before getting us safely to Dr. Vu's clinic; we were like fifteen minutes late but that I wasn't required to wait @ all; once I arrived and sat down, Dr. Vu called me in! When I apologised for the lateness, citing peak hour traffic and the rain, he was like, oh, it's raining? Not sprinkling but not bucketing down wither, I explained to him. Oh, drizzling.
  • I groused @ Dr. Vu for putting in the eyedrops that sting and he smirked an apology for that but apart from that, all good and cya next year!
  • Even better, PIG mum took me back to the Warrigal Square Maccas for second breakfast afterwards! :D I went up to the front counter and ordered myself a big breakky burger while she ordered herself a mighty McMuffin but she cheated and took one of my sausage patties away! ><" She got her free coffee but complained 'twas only lukewarm; when I drank my juice I was like uhh it's room temperature; did they forget the ice?
  • Before going home our other stop was to Woolies to buy groceries and we bumped into Chris!
  • Back home, I used the loo for one more tinkle and walked myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • Waiting for dearest dad to come home so we can eat lunch together~
  • Think I'm seeing Aunty Anna for some acupuncture in the arvo? Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ her. XD
  • Annette's minding me from 4-6pm.
  • Hopefully I'll get to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 136TH time!
  • Almost forgot! Today's the parents' 38TH wedding anniversary!! Every year I tell them they should have a romantic dinner together and just microwave me leftovers to eat, but every year PIG mum insis I join them because I think she suspects that I will burn the house down if left on my lonesome. XD Actually this year she says we don't have enough money to eat out? Whatever, but I've done my daughterly duty and bought them a wedding anniversary present. XD
  • Toms: Hannah's minding me from 9-2. Hopefully PIG mum'll lemme buy my once-weekly pork salad roll from the Callamvale Central Bakery.
  • Prolly have physio @ Breathe toms arvo.
  • And Kim's taking me to Toastmasters again toms night, for the 5th Friday! Looking forward to getting another Happy Meal for dinner; never mind that Happy Meals were what I ate surely MORE THAN TWO DECADES ago!! *sigh*
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!

Sunday Post 435c

 Good evening again and probably one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2837. Righteo, just briefly final, final events for tonight?

  • Around 4pm, dad ordered I head over to the couch and watch Nine's Sunday arvo football: the Kbights were pllaying the Titans!
  • At halftime I used the loo for one tinkle and called PIG mum downstairs to please help me with a pad change; it's always pretty heavy on the second day.
  • Watched the second half of the NRL game.\
  • Went to the garage and played ping pong with dad.
  • Took a nice hot shower - 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. Actually I was all done only after 11% but happily leaned fully against the right side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling PIG mum back.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, I returned online until PIG mum sent me to the loo, saying dinnertime.
  • Dinner tonight was @ Sunnybank Oriental/Dong Fong.
  • Got home, used loo for one tinkle and returned online.
  • Toms: haveta get up early! Seeing Dr. Vu for my once-yearly eye checkup.
  • Fingers crossed PIG mum'll take me to Maccas for breakfast afterwards! I'll go grocery shopping and aisle walking with her should she say yes!
  • Think I'm seeing Aunty Anna for some massage and acupuncture? Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ her. XD
  • Annette's minding me from 4pm till 6pm.
  • Ooh maybe I'll get to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 136TH time!
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
  • Went

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 1917 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "What Tou Can And Can't Control." Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

Sunday Post 435

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1106 steps (ha, I'm over one grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Jesus Will Trample All Our Enemies'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Start Your Day Right'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Love And Lean On God' and fifthly, the spam count for the week's just seven. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until noisy PIG mum began her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs; 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*

  •  When PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo, I croak good morning @ her, my voice evident sign that I've got the cold/flu. Mother immediately bans me from attending SG/ESS in person today; once I'm out @ the gobbling :P table I immediately Whatsapp our SG and Alfee saying I'll not come today in person.

  • Breakfast is one bowl of the (yummier) flaky bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and perhaps even more likely 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.

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 return to the gobbling :P table, grab my mobile and try to join SG through Zopom, only it doesn't work? Luckily, it does on the mainframs~

  • Lol, I was the only girl there today! Wilfred, Josh and Brian also attended; we did a Bible study from Galatians 2:1-21.

  • Once that ended I played mobile games until ESS started.

  • For worship today, I sang everything plus the harmony for both songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*

  • Since it's like Missionary Month, speaker today was a video sermon. I admit I tuned out and played Jewel Hunter. XD

  • Disappointment was finding out that since it's the last Sunday of the month, ESS are having lunch together and playing sport @ the local state high! *sigh* I missed out. ><

  • When service ended I asked dad are we going too Maccas for lunch now? Dad said nah, come eat rice leftovers.

  • That was with lotsa lettuce, lotsa carrot and a few tasteless chunks of soup pork.

  • Lunch was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking my bowl over to the sink and using the loo for one more tinkle, I plopped online.

  • Dad had better take us out for dinner tonight!

  • Toms: Annette's minding me 9-1. 

  • Maybe I'm seeing Aunty Anna for acupuncture and massage afterwards? 

  • Fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 136TH time!

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

Saturday Post 435c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3120. Ha, I'm over three grand. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • After I published the previous post, PIG mum came and fed me one spoonful of Nin Jiom and two echinacea tablets. Unfortunately, I started feeling slightly fluey after getting home with dearest dad this arvo and suspect I may even be running a slight temperature coz my forehead feels hot but Era's rather clammy ... o_O Will try to act normal in case PIG mum finds out and won't lemme attend SG nor ESS, but if that's the case, expect a super-pissy plodding total from me. Freaking hell, don't tell me I've got the flu; Spring arrives in four days' time! ><
  • Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. PIG mum says she'll drive me too the Zees for SG and Alfee says she'll drop me back to BCAC for ESS afterwards.
  • If dad won't take us out for dinner coz he's not feeling 100% he'd better lemme out for lunch with other ESS people!! 
  • Righteo, hope to see everyone @ church toms!
    Cheers,

  • Used the loo once more @ 1:45pm; dad signed Nisha off with my thanks and byes @ 1:45pm. She's not back next Saturday coz her boyfriend's taking her somewhere for a belated birthday celebration! Have just e-mailed Michelle chasing for next month's rosters.

Saturday Post 435

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2727 steps today; secondly, John Piper's daily decvotional topic from last night's 'Shadows And Streams'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Find A Mentor. Become A Mentor' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Plans And Providence' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm bulletin (Seven's) for the 135TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Lol, when PIG mum went a-THUMPING around this morning and woke me for a pot :P trip @ 6:50am I'd thought I'd scored an awesome night's sleep after enduring two gruelling hours of physio yesterday, but when I used the pot :P I could hear it wasn't empty! How could I have used the pot :P halfway through the night and then totally forgotten about it?? XD
  • I successfully fell back asleep before being awoken again @ 7:30am, this time by PIG mum a-THUMPING upstairs and getting changed for work. 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*

  •  At 7:30am PIG mum dashes into my room to gimme eye goo before bolting off for her morning's work. Once she's gone, 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 dearest dad kisses me good morning, retucks me back into bed, says he'll leave me some leftovers for Nisha to reheat for my lunch later today and promises to stay quiet so that Uber and I may snore happily in peace, we do exactly that, me waking twice more for the pot :P until Nisha arrives @ 10am.

  • After I count down my fifteen more minutes, I swing myself over to the pot :P and call out to Nisha that I'm hungry. When she doesn't come, I bang the wall for her, calling, "Nisha, where are you?? I said I'm HUNGRY!" She laughs and replies, "Coming. Just getting some gloves first."

  • After two tinkles, I swing myself back into bed, we get me kitted and I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Ela enjoys her last break this week from having to hold the toothbrush~ 

  • After drinking one mug of water, I sit over the loo 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 headed out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast. Lol, last night I'd had dinner from some *tiny* bowl and was nowhere near full; I told the parents they'd better gimme more breakfast this morning! Dod added one slice of avocado into my ham and egg sandwich; hardly filling! Nisha was hilarious: she said, "Oh, when I saw that tiny bowl you told me you had dinner with last night, I originally thought you'd gotten a pet cat!" XD
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Thursday Post 435b

 Heylo again and probably one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's probable final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2400 but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after I watch the Broncos' must-win game tonight!! >< *sigh* Righteo, probable final, final events for tonight?

  • Breakfast is two Weet-Bix with a thin stream of honey, one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with avocado and equally 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 Garbo, I use the loo for one tinkle and try to enter Meeting Room One, but it's still locked! Instead, I brace against the door and wait for someone to come open the door. Ken does, ordering, "Outta the way, Em!" XD

  • Only seven here today; eight if you count Manie. I was so embarrassed; he remembered my name but I'd clean forgotten his! XD Thanks to Pat who helped me once to the loo @ morning tea and Happy who got me bikkies~ When George arrived he said he needed a cuppa and got up; I waved @ him to sit back down coz it's not morning tea time yet! George smiled sweetly @ me and said, oh, but I'll make one for you, too! XD

  • Since GCCW ended fifteen minutes early today, I texted Karina to please come collect me, reassuring Pat I'd be alright unless some axe murderer let himself inside the meeting room after everyone left and lopped my head off. XD Pat just laughed, mimed a swat over my head and left. XD

  • After one more loo trip, Karina and I had lunch @ Ho Lin Wah; best of all, she found a parking spot just outside the restaurant!

  • Unfortunately, neither set meal suit me; one was like curry chicken rice and the other black bean rice. I deducted the cost for the HK-style milk tea, read the normal menu and chose sth that fit inside that budget, chicken with sweetcorn sauce rice. Karina had honey chicken with a Coke; I got to finish the leftover coating she didn't eat!

  • Back home, I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Karina who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, I went outside and started the computer while Karina went back and cleaned the bathroom. Then I filled out the parents' wedding anniversary card for them and signed her off with my thanks and byes. She's back same time next week and tonight she's cooking capsicum and eggplant for dinner: eww! XD

  • The parents like arrived home together? For arvo tea, PIG mum and I shared half a deep-fried 'marn tul' (say that in Canto) dipped into condensed milk.

  • Before returning online, I used the loo for one more tinkle.

  • Looking forward to watching the 6pm bulletin (Seven's) for the 133RD time!

  • Will then use the loo once and then wolf down dinner quickly coz I plan to be seated in front of the television to watch coverage of the Broncos' game: it's a must-win and Adam Reynolds'  like 250th!

  • Toms: Peggy's coming @ 8am and taking me to the NAB for a two hour session; fingers crossed I can spend one of them hiking the Great Court and toes crossed that Mr. Jig-Air will really shout hot chocolate coz Winter's nearly over!

  • After Peggy leaves @ 2pm Tiff's coming to give Ela one hour of impractical exercises, after which we'll going to Bupa Optical for our once-yearly eye-checkup!

  • Fingers crossed PIG mum'll lemme get some arvo tea from Eight Street afterwards!

  • Then toes crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 134TH time!

  • Righteo, shouldn't return online tonight; just wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Nature didn't call until 6:20am (dearest dad very considerately walked silently the hallway and pulled the bathroom door shut; after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep again since I knew PIG mum would start getting very noisy one hour later!
    • Like clockwork, @ 7:20am noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs; that's my wakeup call to use the pot :p again. After the 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* 
    • PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and let Karina inside before bolting off for her half day's work. Karina gives me fifteen more minutes, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth (Ela enjoys her official break from having to hold the toothbrush), sit over the loo for just one tinkle and then head out to the gobbling :P table.

Wednesday Post 435

 Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total from Tuesday's actually 2967; secondly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3472 steps; thirdly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'God Is Not An Idolater'; fourthly, TWFT topic's 'Develop A Joy Workout (1) and fifthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Landing Spot' but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY-THREE MINUTES online after Angelica minds me for two hours!! Righteo, let's start off with last night's events first!

  • Once I'd used up the most important two hours of my day, I got offline and headed over to the gobbling :P table, asking PIG mum would she please feed me some arvo tea? I'm gonna read till Kim arrives.
  • Actually, PIG mum left to go play ping pong/badminton with like Ping Yee but dearest dad was home so he saw me to the car after Kim arrived to take me to Toastmasters @ 5:30. Actually, she came a lil early but I kept reading till 5:30.
  •  At 5:30pm I went to the passenger seat of Kim's car, dad double-checked that Sparkless3 was in Kim's boot and off we went! Not only did we get a smooth run, we also got the free parking~
  • Only six people attended last night, but Neil said that every time I'm called to give a speech, I open up like a flower! XD We're having another meeting next Tuesday since it's the 5th Tuesday!
  • Had my pissy little Happy Meal with orange juice and Kim got to leave five minutes early. Repeat the usual nightly events and zzz~
  • Today: yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:35am (when dearest dad very considerately walked silently along the hallway and pulled the bathroom door shut; after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since I knew he'd get ready to leave for work one hour later!
  • Sure enough, one hour later I'm reawoken for another pot :P trip, this time after dearest dad very considerately walks silently down the hallway and unpops the lock leading into the garage. 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* 

  • After dearest dad kisses me bye, retufks 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 around one hour later. Shortly after, noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs; soon after that, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with nothing but 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.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
    P.S.

Tuesday Post 434

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2420 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Pleased To Praise'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'How 2B Blessed @ Work (4)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Course Of A Lifetime'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Unsurprisingly, I didn't manage a good night's sleep after that awful cow horrid PIG mum chucked @ me last night. Ephesians 4:32 says don't let the sun set while you're angry, but what happens if you get angry AFTER the Sun sets? Are you allowed to remain angry until the next day dawns?
  • Hannah was supposed to come help me up @ 9am but first CODA rings to say she's running late and then they ring again and say actually she can't come coz she's hurt her foot! PIG mum screeches find someone to take Em to physio; I've got pilates class to attend!
  • Meaning I miss out on help getting kitted but PIG mum isn't around to gleefully force poor Ela to hold onto the toothbrush so yay for that.
  • After sitting over the loo, I walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • Breakfast is one bowl of Minus :P with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast thinly spread with avocado and perhaps very lightly shaken over 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* 
  • Suddenly CODA ring and say Kim can come; phew! PIG mum replies. Originally she'd rung Breathe and asked for permission to drop me off early there when she went to her yoga class; now she rung them back and said all good; she'll come @ the normal time~ Kim then texts PIG mum and says sorry she might be five minutes late coz she's wolfing down some breakfast right now! PIG mum laughs and says if Kim arrives still hungry she can raid the kitchen/pantry/fridge. XD
  • After breakfast I walk myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. 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!

  •  When Kim arrives she tootles me off to Breathe. Connor's @ the front door! Pats for him, then~

  • Turns out Winnie's the boss! She's four years younger than me; physio today: Two sets of lat pulldown (eight each) for both hands, went outside for a walk walk and did knee bends for Elf and more knee bends once inside with hands holding onto the rings. Kim just sat in her car and waited for me~

  • Our other sttop before heading home was to Calamvale Central to buy facial tissues from Woolies (we got two boxes) and my weekly pork salad roll from the bakery. I asked the aunty who took my order where's uncle? She reply ah, he no money, go to... Goo to bank? I suggest? Since she looks @ me blankly, I try another route: go to ATM? Ah, yes! She cried. Get money. XD While I was waiting for my bahn mi, Kim went next door and bought herself two sushi rolls for lunch, one calamari and one veggie tempura.

  • Back home, I took a nice hot shower @ half-fast speed - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also sang 11% of my shorter second-favourite song softly, slowly but most hatefully out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.

  • I had one tinkle before I flipped the nice hot water off, got dried, got creamed and got rekitted. After using the loo for one tinkle and drying inside both ears I walked myself slowly and safely back 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.

  • Lunch was my delicious crunchy pork salad roll plus one mug of peppermint tea. At 2pm PIG mum signed Kim off with our thanks and byes; she's back @ 5:30pm and taking me to Toastmasters!

  • Before plopping online, I use the loo for one more tinkle.

  • Once I've used up my most important two hours of the day online, I'll head over to the gobbling :P table, ask PIG mum for some arvo tea and then read to 5:30pm, coz Kim's coming back and taking me to Toastmasters! Looking forward to getting some dinner from Maccas; never mind that Happy Meals were what I ate surely MORE THAN TWO DECADES AGO!! *sigh*

  • Toms: will haveta complete my GCCW homework but think my only appointment's to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD Hopefully she'll take me somewhere aisle walking toms else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.

  • Anyways, prolly won't bbl tonight; hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

  • Over dinner earlier I'd told PIG mum I might do another stinky unspeakable tonight, which I did @ 9pm when I walked myself slowly and safely to the loo for the stinky unspeakable and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • Toms: Hannah's minding me 9-2. She'll take me to Breathe for physio with Winnie, who's actually the boss of Breathe! Hope she's nice~
  • Our other stop's Calamvale Central for my once-weekly pork salad roll for lunch! Hope the owner uncle's there~

  • Back home, I munch my yummy chicken kaarage sushi roll, drink one warm mug of sth and happily read Dancing Brumby for one hour, reaching pg. twenty-five @ 4:40pm.
  • Used loo for one tinkle, pop online and watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 131ST time.
  • Used loo for one tinkle and had dinner with PIG mum, since dad's upstairs sleeping coz he's not feeling well, the poor thing~

    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Monday Post 434b

 Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3079 (ha, I'm just over three grand XD) but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm bulletin for the 131ST time!! Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

  • Nature called again around 6:35am; after the morning 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* 
  • I use the pot :P again when dearest dad comes to kiss me bye and retuck me back into bed before leaving for his hard day's work.
  • Uber and I cuddle and snore for another hour, me waking for the pot :P once more shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Annette's arrival @ 9am.
  • After PIG mum lets Annette in, she knocks, pushes open the door, says good morning and fifteen more minutes? After Uber nods @ her, she wisely removes herself, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
  • Lol somehow I manage to fall back asleep within those fifteen minutes! just a light sleep, though; I instantly wake when Annette knocks again, pushes open the door and says, ready?
  • 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 starting the week not having to hold the toothbrush~ Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for only one tinkle before exiting the bathroom, calling Annette to please walk behind me and head to the gobbling :P table since I remember PIG mum's order.
  • Breakfast is one bowl of Minus :P, the last of the yummy choc chip and strawberry muffins I made with Tiff three days ago, 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, Annette kindly accompanies me to the bathroom and 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 Underwood MarketPlace for walkies and grocery shopping, finding a park around the back and grabbing a shopping trolley for us.
  • At Woolies, I buy facial tissues and tell Annette to buy her own groceries too, to save her from another trip back.
  • Then we just sit @ foodcourt and play with our mobiles until PIG mum says she's home so Annette tootles me home too.
  • Back home, I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Annette who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • I have one tinkle before Annette flips the nice hot water off, get dried, get creamed and have another tinkle. When Annette rekits me, I have one more tinkle when she's helping with Elf's AFO straps and one last when she's giving Wally back to Ela.
  • Lunch is one bowl of surprisingly really yummy rice leftovers! Oh, that's right: we had special guests over last night and dad cooked his finest for them.
  • PIG mum signs off Annette with our thanks and byes @ 2pm. Lol, I like how Annette's really encouraging; she's always telling me 'well done' for simple things I do that PIG mum just takes for granted. XD
  • I pop online briefly until PIG mum drives me to Unique Physiotherapy to see Aunty Anna for some massage and acupuncture. Vincent's not here today coz the steep driveway where he usually parks his car's empty; presume he's collecting Kayla from school?
  • While I get treatment from Aunty Anna, PIG mum goes next door and buys a pair of slippers with arch supports from Kat jie jie; Vincent has an array of them hanging against the wall. Aunty Anna told me that she flew Virgin to Darwin (going's one hour longer than coming back; unsure why?) because while Jetstar was cheaper; they kept randomly cancelling the flights! o_O

  • Cheers,
    Em. ^^
    P.S.

Monday Post 434

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2039 steps (ha, I'm just over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'An Unshakeably Happy God'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'How 2B Blessed @ Work (3)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Transmitting Truth' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and FORTY-FOUR MINUTES online after I get home from seeing Aunty Anna!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Strange: having being woken for a pot :P trip shortly before midnight I would've thought I'd score an awesome night's sleep afterwards; dunno why my idiot bladder woke me again @ 1am and 2am with a full bladder and demanded I relieve myself? After the 2am trip, I said, "For goodness sakes, if you keep waking me every hour how on Earth will I get a good night's sleep?? Thankfully, my bladder lemme be after that. XD
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Sunday Post 434d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3161. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post, I continued writing my personal blog post.
  • Eh? Suddenly, all the guests left @ 8:45pm? That's right, the two little girls need their sleep!I quickly got up and reminded the drinkers that they had to walk along the footsteps and; should they waver, please just take your last left into my room and sleep in that bed; I'll head upstairs and sleep coz I'm not gonna let you drive home while inebriated! Luckily, they all passed. XD
  • I used the loo for one more tinkle then, since I really couldn't be bothered returning online and having another walk @ 9pm.
  • Toms: Annette's minding me 9-1; PIG mum says we can have walkies @ underwood MarketPlace and I can buy a sushi roll for arvo tea.
  • After Annette's left, PIG mum'll take me to see Aunty Anna for some massage and acupuncture coz she's back from her Perth holiday!

Sunday Post 434c

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3041 (ha, I'm just over three grand XD) and secondly, joni's devotional topic's 'High-Altitude Attitude'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

  • When I was summoned for dinner I used the loo for one tinkle and walked myself slowly and safely too the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • like lunch, dinner was very disappointing. Not even one bowl of rice (even though I had a refill) but the duck, beef and broccoli were all delicious~
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the 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, fingers crossed I can bbl after one last loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight, the final, final spam count for the weekend plus what's happening Monday, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Sunday Poost 434b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one finAl greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2874 but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-FIVE MINUTES online after dad drags me off to play ping pong!! Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

  • After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely to the loo, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
  • After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's 4WD and she tootles us off to church. Of course, she gleefully forces me to buckle my own seatbelt both ways and I don't bother asking her to turn some music on, coz I know she'll reply no, coz she's 'too busy preparing her heart to worship God', whatever that really means.
  • At BCAC, I hike down the driveway, use the disabled loo once (the seat's up, but @ least the lid's up too) and enter the back classroom.
  • Seven students were present today; Uncle William taught from Galatians 4:8-31. Started three minutes late and ended five minutes late. *sigh*
  • After using the loo myself for another tinkle, I grabbed one packet of bikkies for morning tea and hiked up to the main hall for ESS, grabbing my usual spot.
  • Yay, stayed seated for worship today. Sang everything, plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
  • Speaker today was Reverend Chris. His sermon topic was Anarchy Part Two.
  • Once ESS ended, Mel Tang walked behind me down the driveway again, I used the disabled loo once myself and then took a seat under the shady area. Mel left to fetch Hazel.
  • *sigh* Lunch was disappointing: I'd gone to get my own food; since the person who'd gone before me had taken two sausages and put them on two slices of bread I'd been planning to do the same but horrid PIG mum said only get one; after I'd finished and was ready to get myself another one, she said no! >< That was because some aunties had cooked extra food and I'd nibbled one tiny chicken wing and had one small mouthful of noodles. *sigh* But @ least I got a cupcake; Small Chow made them and they were delicious!
  • After PIG mum tootled me home I used the loo for one tinkle and plopped online but for less than one hour coz PIG mum ordered me off to shower.
  • 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 only 11% but happily leaned fully against the side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling PIG mum back.
  • After PIG mum dries my back and the back of the chair for me, I do everything else and she doesn't feature again until I need help doing up the bra strap, Elf's AFO straps needed doing and both shoelaces needed tying.
  • After drying the toilet seat, I sit for one tinkle, dry inside both ears, wash and dry Era and head back outside to the gobbling :P table.
  • For arvo tea I eat my other delicious little choc chip and strawberry muffin! Think I drank a Chinese tea with dad.
  • Dad originally said I could return online for thirty minutes before demanding I come out and play table tennis with him; thankfully he's forgotten. XD
  • Toms: Annette's minding me from 9am till 1pm. PIG mum's gonna send us for walkies @ Underwoood MarketPlace.
  • Annette will see me home and showered before leaving @ 1pm, after which PIG mum will take me to see Aunty Anna for acupuncture and massage coz she's back from her holiday in Perth!
  • Fingers crossed I can spend my most important two hours of the day online, read for one hour and watch the 6pm bulletin for the 131ST time!
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Sunday Post 434

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2595 steps (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's "Jesus Is Who You're Looking For"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'How 2B Blessed @ Work'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Two Houses'; fifthly, the spam count for the week's actually forty-two and sixthly, the spam count for the weekend's already sixteen. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:05am, and after one pot :P trip I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh* 
  • Shortly after that, noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs; soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with mot only the bra strap but the tee (since dearest dad's still @ home) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
  • PIG mum comes back to help with absolutely nothing but Elf's AFO straps and both laces, after which I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth (poor Ela). Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for just one tinkle before washing and drying Era and walking myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • Breakfast is my other strawberry and choc chip muffin I made with Tiff two days ago, one bowl of the (yummier) flaky bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD), 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*
  • Fingers crossed I can bbl coz I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and FIFTEEN MINUTES online!!
