Thursday Post 443

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 5073 steps (ha, I'm just over half a normal person today XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Triumphant Shame Of The Cross'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Self-Control/Controlling?' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Warning Sounds' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TEN MINUTES online after PIG mum's high school friend pops over!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 7th consecutive awesome sleep last night; that's the 13TH time this year I've achieved one straight week of consecutive awesome sleeps! :D Nature didn't call until PIG mum awoke me with her daily a-THUMPING around this morning @ 6:20am and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since I knew she'd get very noisy again one hour later!
• Precisely one hour later, noisy PIG mum's a-THUMPING around upstairs to get changed for her half day's work's my wakeup call to use the pot :P again. After this second pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh* 
• Shortly afterwards, PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Karina's arrival. After she lets Karina inside @ 7:30am, she bolts off for her half-day's work.
• Karina knocks and pushes the door open, bids Pearl and me good morning and says "hitting the snooze button for fifteen more minutes ... Pearl nods @ her and she wisely removes herself, even though poor Pearl's the wrong body type to give the Bear Bum. XD
• When Karina returns, I use the pot :P for three more tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who squirts me some toothpaste.
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for only one tinkle before coming out to the gobbling :P table.
• Breakfast is one bowl of Minus :P, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Thanks to Karina who turns on Sunrise for my viewing pleasure; 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 (thanks muchly to her who helps me with my seatbelt all day) and she tootles me off to Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown for my fortnightly shopping trip, finding a side park along level two.
• After one loo trip, I grab the book I was reading last fortnight (Traci Harding's Black Madonna; smart Karina saw the book first), flop into a squashy armchair and happily read another fifty pages, finishing page seventy-five @ 10:14am and finishing pg. 100 @ 10:46am.
• While waiting for Karina to return from the bank (she'd texted me saying she was stuck in line) I posted hello from Facebook. When she came back, I used the loo once then we bought groceries from Woolies, went into New York Baguette for one sausage bun and one custard bun and finished buying groceries from Coles.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 443d

 One final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 1667. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• Originally I'd planned to play Jewel Heros for thirty minutes, but the battery died @ 8:55pm. Still, twenty-five minutes wasn't bad; I passed another two/three levels!
• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Suddenly the doorbell rings @ 9:13pm? PIG mum didn't hear it, but I called that someone just rung our doorbell; was she gonna answer it/did she want me to? PIG mum went; turns out 'twas Simon returning the bread we'd left @ his place back on Sunday night!
• Toms: Karina's minding me 7:30am till 3:30pm and taking me on my fortnightly shopping trip, yay!
• Must remember to start eating the chocolate advent calendar that PIG mum bought for me! XD
• Most exciting of all, Kim's taking me to my once-yearly trip to Queen Street Mall using Sparkless3! *explodes with excitement* I thought 'twas only gonna be the third trip but my Facebook memories reveal it's actually like the 5th trip!
• Righteo, hope everyone's having a lovely week~
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good evening again! Em's new plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 1613. Lol, apparently I've walked exactly one hundred steps since my last post. XD Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• When I was summoned for 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 yummy cauliflower, lotsa sweet carrot, one thin slice of pork/chicken (some white meat; my inferior tastebuds are always mixing up the difference XD) and like one spoonful of PIG mum's delicious eggy meat brisket.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowlful 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, 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 443b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 1513 (ha, I'm just over 1.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Finishing Well'. Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• When Minjum announced her arrival two minutes late, thanks to PIG mum who opened the door for her, thus saving me from a potentially dangerous trip to the front door myself.
• So a nice warm shower for me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Minjum who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• I had one tinkle before Minjum flipped the nice warm water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Minjum rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was helping with Erf's sock and one last one when she went to fetch my bag.
• Back outside, arvo tea was one yummy pear and another big mug of the yummy Taiwanese tea dad's highschool mate had brought him when he came visiting. Happiness was getting to read the historical fiction novel for one hour and then have like eighteen minutes to play Jewel Hereos; I passed three more levels!
• At 5:55pm I used the loo for two more tinkles. Minjum was gonna walk back with me to the computer and I'd sign her off, but PIG mum oddly desperately wanted her gone that quickly she intercepted us exiting the bathroom and signed Minjum off immediately!
• I happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 192ND time~
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner else hope everyone's having a smashing week!
  Cheers,

Wednesday Post 443

Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1370 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Only Conscience-Cleanser'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Don't Forget To Say Thank You'; fourthly, Em's final, final plodding total from Tuesday's actually .. apparently I've forgotten to record it? >< XD and fifthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'A Hot Meal' but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWO MINUTES online after Minjum minds me for two hours! Anyways, lets start off with last night's events first!

• After I'd used up the most important two hours of my day online, I headed over to the gobbling :P table and asked PIG mum to please fed me some arvo tea.
• While waiting for Minjum's arrival, I read the historical fiction novel for like forty minutes, finishing page fifty @ 5:11pm.
• PIG mum left first to go play ping pong/badminton but dearest dad had arrived home to transfer Sparkless3 into Minjum's boot when she arrived to take me to Toastmasters @ 5:30pm.
• Lol< on arrival we couldn't"t get inside coz "was already afterhours and I don"t have a student ID card coz I Was a UQ student< not a QUT oNE! no problem< we just waited outside tILL SOMEBODY USED THEIR CARD TO GET OUT AND WE ENTERED. XD

• LasT NIgHT I had SUPper BEfORe DINNEr COZ Steph's work had some group morninG tea thing and She'd bOught aLonG Packets of leftover bikkies and chocolate for us to share!
• Best of all, last night being the final normal Toastmasters meeting for the year before our breakup party next month, PIG mum FINALLY lemme have a MILKSHAKE with my pissy little UnHappy Meal!! Minjum had one too~
• Back home, repeat the usual nightly events, zzz~
• Today: yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like the last two nights,  nature didn't call  until 6:10am and after one pot :P trip I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*

•  Usually nature calls hourly after that initial morning pot :P trip, but happiness was snoring soundly with Pearl until dearest dad walked very thoughtfully silently along the hallway and unpopped the lock to the garage before waking again to relieve myself.

• After dearest dad kisses me bye, tries to suck Pearls six pearls, laughs when Pearl bodyslams him for that cheek, retucks me back into bed before leaving for his hard day's work, Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot about one hour later before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Not long after, she's let herself into my room 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 independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.

• PIG mum comes back to help with absolutely nothing bar E;f's AFO straps and both shoelaces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth. That done, I use the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and 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 yummy bowl of Minus :P, 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 over to the toilet, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

   

• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's 4WD and she tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Of course, she gleefully forces me to buckle my own seatbelt all day, we listen to 97.3FM all day too and today, Era helps Ela stretch for thirty minutes before Ela opens and closes her palm 150 times, holding each for a count of five. Era also helps rub Ela's fingers for two/three minutes.

• At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle and then lie down for some acupuncture and massage. PIG mum was obviously in her element yapping unceasingly @ Ray; my grateful thanks to Ray who always replied and kept a conversation flowing.

• After one more loo trip, PIG mum tootled us back to Warrigal Square where we bought groceries from Woolies. Didn't see Chris there this arvo, though.

• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle before walking myself slowly and safely online, always  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. 

• When PIG mum summons me for lunch, I walk 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. 

• Lunch was one yummy toasted BBQ chicken and mayo toasted sandwich cut into two rectangles although unfortunately PIG mum wouldn't add one slice of cheese. Since she was eating lunch on the couch and watching YouTube, I got to prop both feet up oonto the footstoll and play Jewel Hereos - I passed another level!

• Lunch was washed down with one big mug of delicious Chinese tea; before plopping online I walked myself slowly and safely once to the loo for one tinkle and back, again  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. 

• Minjum's minding me from 4-6pm; hope she remembers to bring me the LARGE pudding milk tea I'm expecting from Minjum! XD

• Toms: Karina's minding me from 7:30am till 3:30pm and taking me for my fortnightly shopping trip!

• Looking forward to catching up with Reverend Chris and Pastor Grace for lunch @ C Cafe!

• Biggest excitement toms: Kim's taking me out toms night for my once-yearly Queen Street Mall shopping trip and to see the big Christmas tree! 

• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else hope everyone's having a smashing week!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 442

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1724 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topics from last night's 'The Root Of Ingraditude'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Ask FGod For Wisdom' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Walk With Me'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:10am and after one pot :P trip I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh* 
• Usually nature calls hourly after that initial pot :P trip, but happiness was snoring soundly until dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently along the hallway and unpopped the lock into the garage before waking again to use the pot. :P
• After dearest dad kisses me bye, tries to suck Pearls six pearls (Pearl furiously bodyslams him for this low act but silly dad only just laughs; since Pear's soft all over he can't really pack a punch XD), retucks me back into bed and leaves for his hard day's work, Pearl 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 to hit me with the eye goo :P before going back outside and awaiting Hannah's arrival @ 9am.
• Once she lets Hannah in, Hannah knocks, says good morning and fifteen more minutes ... Pearl nods @ her and she wisely makes herself scarce although technically Pearl can't give the Bear Bum, not being a teddy bear himself. XD
• When Hannah comes back, I use the pot :P for two more tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era before 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 three yummy Weet-Bix drizzled with a little honey, 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 back to the loo, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.

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

• After washing and drying Era, I climb aboard Tank and Hannah tootles me off to physio with Eric @ Breathe. We arrive super-early, though; since my appointment's not until 11am I had thirty minutes to play Jewel Heroes! Not that I passed anymore levels. XD

• Physio today: 2.514km bike ride, bicep curl (standing only for Ela) leg pulls (three sets of twelve) and boxing! Lol Eric couldn't find the gloves, just the pads; I vented out all the week's frustrations with bare hands and ended with bright red knuckles! Don't worry; that quickly faded. XD

• Our other destination was to Calamvale Cental; Hannah bought a bag of avocados for PIG mum while I bought my crispy/crackling/crunchy bahn mi. A young girl took my order; when the owner uncle appeared we both waved @ each other and he wandered over for a chat. I point to the fresh buns sitting on the baking tray and mime myself snatching one and taking a big bite. "I want ..." The owner uncle laughs and replies, "Nobody do that!" I laugh back and boast. "I first." He laughs uproariously and then waves his hand dismissively @ me; obviously I'm not considered a threat. XD

• Hannah tootles me home and I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Hannah who rinses my hair out for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye fully shut. I also sing 20% of my shorter second-favourite song softly, slowly but most hatefully out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I'm all done after only 5%, but happily lean fully against the right side rail and water myself for another tinkle before tapping the nice warm water off and calling Hannah back.

• I had one tinkle before I flipped the nice warm water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Hannah rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was doing Elf's AFO straps and one more when she went outside and got my bag for me.

• Back outside, lunch was my delicious pork salad roll plus one mug of yummy peppermint tea. PIG mum returned home from pilates and having lunch out with Ping Yee and she'd fought an advent calendar for me!! :D

• At 2pm I signed Hannah off with my thanks and byes. She's back again same time next Tuesday.

• I used the loo for one more tinkle before plopping online.

• Once I've used up my most important two hours of the day I'll head over to the gobbling :P table and ask PIG mum for some arvo tea.

• Minjum's taking me to Toastmasters @ 5:30pm! Poor Bruce can't make it since he took a tumble on his bike yesterday and had to stay @ some hospital overnight ...

• Looking forward to FINALLY getting a MILKSHAKE with my pissy little UnHappy Meal!!

• Toms: 11am appointment to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him.

• Think it's Angelica minding me from 3:30pm till 5:30pm? 

• Fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 192ND time!!

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

Monday Post 442e

 Good evening again and probably one final greeting for tonight! Em's probable final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 1899. Righteo, probable final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post and reaching the PISSY two hour time limit that PIG mum so gleefully restricts me to, I started playing Jewel Heroes.
• Only nature suddenly called! Hence why @ 8:41pm I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Toms: Hannah's minding me from 9am till 2pm. I've got physio with Jacky @ 11am; hopefully we'll leave once I've done a stinky unspeakable and we can sit in the carpark and play mobile games for awhile. XD
• Hopefully there'll be enough time to get my weekly crackling pork salad roll from the Calamvale Central bakerybefore coming home for a shower!

• When Pao announced her arrival two minutes early, thanks to PIG mum who kindly let her in, thus saving me from a potentially dangerous trip to the front door myself.
• So a nice warm shower for me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Pao who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was one yummy pear, two chocolate Pocky sticks and one mug of yummy Taiwanese tea from dad's high school mate. Happiness was reading for one hour; I've restarted a Phillipa Gregory historical fiction about Joan of Arc and I reached pg. twenty-five @ 5:17pm!
• At 5:55pm I used the loo for two more tinkles and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 191ST after dad signed Pao off with my thanks and byes.
• After the news, when the parents summoned me over for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle and walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. 
• Yummy dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy cabbage, some yummy BBQ chicken, several chunks of soup carrot and one mouthful of delicious battered oven-baked fish.
• 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.

  Cheers,
  Em. ^^ 

Monday Post 441c

 Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 1496 but secondly and way more importantly I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTEEN MINUTES online after Pao leaves and I watch the 6pm news bulletin!! Anyways, continuing today's events?

• After dearest dad kisses me goodbye, retucks me back into bed, cheekily pretends to suck Pearls six pearls (outraged Pearl can only bodyslam dad for it, not that his bodyslamming affects dad in the slightest since he's totally soft XD) and leaves for his hard days work, I fall into such a deep sleep that I don't even hear PIG mum beginning her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs; indeed, I don't wake until she enters my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap!
• After giving myself fifteen more minutes, I get myself mostly independently kitted, before PIG mum comes back to help with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces.
• I brush teeth, sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Breakfast is one bowl of the (less yummy) sticky 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*

•  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 climb into the backseat of PIG mum's 4WD and she tootles us off to the Warrigal Square Woolies for grocery shopping. Obviously, she gleefully forces me to buckle my own seat belt all day, we listen to 97.3FM all day too and today, Era helpos Ela stretch for forty minutes before Ela opens and closes her palm 150 times, holding each for a count of five.
• At Woolies, we buy mangoes for PIG mum's upcoming cheesecake and bump into Chris!
• Back home, I use the loo for one more tinkle and pop online. PIG mum gets grumpy that the battery she was really happy and excited to find and buy for Wally doesn't work; she blames dad for misplacing some of Wally's parts? Grumpy dad leaves without having lunch with me. >< We both thought he was in the garage doing stuff but when I walked down the hallway to call him inside for lunch, the garage door was shut and he'd already gone!
• Before going to see Aunty Anna for massage and acupuncture, we both used the loo once.
• Go me! Despite PIG mum yapping ceaselessly @ Aunty Anna as expected, I managed to stay awake. XD I did tell her that the needle she poked @ the top left of my neck made mew wanna chuck, though.
• Back home, I used the loo for another tinkle and returned online.
• Pao's minding me from 4-6pm today!
• Fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 190TH time!
• Toms: Hannah's minding me 9-1 and taking me to Breathe for physio with Jacky. Hopefully he'll get the boxing gloves out again and I can vent all my frustrations @ him. XD
• Hopefully PIG mum'll lemme get a pork salad roll for lunch from the Calamvale Central bakery!
• Minjin's taking me to the extra Toastmasters meeting toms night and since it's the final regular meeting before Toastmasters ends for the year, she'd better FINALLY lemme get a milkshake with my pissy little Unhappy Meal!
  Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 441b

 Heylo again and please excuse the first post; you know how I still get too excited whenever I get to post online before midday. XD Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1098 steps (ha, I'm just over one grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'How To Magnify God'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Never Compromise On God's Word" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'So Beautiful' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and FIFTY-THREE MINUTES online after coming back from seeing Aunty Anna!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:10am, and after one pot :P trip I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh* 
• Pearl and I have just begun to start falling back asleep when suddenly dearest dad comes into my room and kisses me good morning! "Why are you leaving for work that early, baba?" I ask him sleepily. "It's only 6:20am." Dad says go back to sleep; he's not going yet and will come kiss me bye when he does go.
• So Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore until I'm woken for another pot :P trip @ 7:45am when dearest dad silently and very thoughtfully walks along the hallway and unpops the lock leading into the garage.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 441

 Good evening! Whoops my mobile has run out of battery but the last known number on my step counter was 2599! Enjoyed an awesome sleep last night (bid Pearl sweet dreams, fell asleep and didn't wake till 5:10am), attended the second-last Bible study for the year, then ESS before Dr. Lee drove me to Rochdale State High! Charlie bought us both a fried chicken burger and chips with a Coke but we moved inside luckily just before the storm hit! Got home and showered; right now am at Simon and Alice house; sang karaoke and a yummy dinner Hope PIG mum helps me up tomorrow and I will see aunty Anna for some acupuncture and massage tomorrow afternoon. Hope everyone has a lovely weekend ahead!

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Saturday Post 441b

 Heylo again, good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2711 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's  . Righteo, just briefly, final, final events for tonight?

• After I'd used up my most important two hours of the day I got offline and headed over to the gobbling :P table to eat my chicken sushi roll and read Leanne's book. I FINISHED THE BOOK @ 1:48PM!!
• Watched the 6pm bulletin (Seven's) for the 190TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• Had our once-weekly dinner out @ Ru Yi Dim Sum! Not bad although the serving was small.
• Got home and used the upstairs toilet since dad was in the downstairs toilet coz he had a tummy ache. >< Had to visit my upstairs room before coming back down, of course!
• Talked to Aunty Lai because she's heading out to  buy herself dinner now~
• Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. Well, the special thing's that after ESS Charlie's giving me a lift to lunch and sport and then @ night we're all going to Simon's place and singing karaoke!
• Righteo, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 440

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1372 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Glorify God By Giving Thanks; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'You Can Defeat This Giant' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Enduring Hope'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 4:55am (I love how the Sun rises before 5am even though technically Summer hasn't arrived yet!) and after one pot :P trip I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*

•  Nature calls hourly after that initial pot :P trip, until PIG mum lets herself into my room and hits me with the eye goo before rushing off for her half-day's work. Once's 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 retucks me into bed, tried to suck Pearl's six pearls (and smirks when I screech for Pearl and Pearl tries to bodyslam him XD), says he'll leave me some leftovers for lunch and promises to stay quiet to let us snoore in peace, we happily do just that, me waking twice more for the pot :P before Nisha arrives @ 10am.

• After dad lets her in, she knocks, says "Hi Em!" and "Fifteen more minutes?" Pearl nods @ her and she wisely withdraws, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum, not that Pearl's the right body shape to give one. XD

• After I've counted down my fifteen more minutes, I call out to Nisha that I'm hungry and swing myself over to the pot :P for two more tinkles. When Nisha says good morning, I ask her was she partying too hard last night? Her voice is all shot! Nisha croaks back that she has pharyngitis, the poor thing!

• We get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth, 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. Unsure why dad's left one plate of rockmelon for me, but hey. I'm not really a fan but eat anyway, before enjoying the yummy ham and eggs inside Turkish bread! That's a change from toast! Also thanks to Nisha who adds some cheese for me. I enjoy my first big mug of white tea with two sugars. First up, I read for thirty minutes, reaching pg. 325 @ 11:10am.

• While Nisha closes and locks windows I use the loo once and then climb into her passenger seat. After I buckle my seatbelt, Nisha tootles us off to Calamvaale Central and finds a park underground, since the ones outside the bakery are all taken.

• Our first stop's Woolies for tissues, before I grab my chicken katsu sushi from the Japanese food shop. Unsure why they don't offer honey chicken?

• Back home, I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Nisha who helps me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

• I have one tinkle before Nisha flips the nice warm water off, get dried, get creamed and have another tinkle. When Nisha rekits me, I have one more tinkle when she's helping with Elf's AFOO straps and one last when she's giving Wally back to Ela.
  Back outside, Nisha makes another big mug of white tea with two sugars for me, reheats the rice leftovers dad left her for my lunch with added oyster sauce (she can't cook the bread crunchy but she sure knows how to make the bread tasty!) then goes back and cleans the bathroom before sitting and eating her own lunch. She eats like Portia and her mum did when they invited us over to their place for lunch back when we were in high school; I was gonna offer her my spoon since I'd just finished eating but then realised, it's prolly how they eat! Over lunch, I kept reading, reaching pg. 333 @ 1:02pm and reaching pg. 350 @ 1:23pm, before FINISHING Leanne's book @ 1:48pm!!

• At 1:55pm I used the loo once more for two tinkles; dad got home and signed Nisha off with our thanks and byes. She's back same time next week.

• I'd just opened the computer when dad insisted I play table tennis with him for forty-five minutes.

• That done, I used the loo for one more tinkle and plopped online.

• Fingers crossed I can watch the news for the 190TH time today!

• Toms: just church, nothing special. Well, the special thing 's that it's gonna be our monthly lunch and sports social; Charlie's taking me!

• Anyways, hopefully bbl otherwise looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• P.S All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the news tonight (Seven's) for the 190TH time, read by Katrina Blowers: Digpaul, Cordingley (heard), Harpreet (first name), Prong, Potts, Rajwinder (first name), Pachana Starch, Renshaw Gurney Laidler, Dunlop, Pollock, Jensen, Bissell, Kerr, Duane (first name), Cash, Quinn, Dion (first name), Marr, Stinear, Holmes, Herd, Wildman  Kunst, Barnes, Mortimer, Kingsun, Starcevich, Dutton (heard) Hastie, Shanahan, Gross, Lester, Carriage (heard),  Kirby, Burley, Clements,and Done.

Friday Post 440d

One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 1292. 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.
• Toms: Nisha's minding me 10am till 2pm. Unsure if we'll go anywhere; PIG mum didn't lemme eat the sushi roll I bought with Peggy today! Perhaps expect a pissy plodding total from me then; I've not had a chance to ask dad about table tennis toms since he's already snoring on the couch.
• Looking forward to my three big mugs of white tea and hoping to read for three hours toms coz I really wanna finish Leanne's book! 
• Righteo, wishing everyone a lovely weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^ 

Friday Post 440c

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 1210 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'A Taste Of Things To Come'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• When I was summoned for dinner I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: leftover fried rice with lotsa soup bok choy, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup tomato and two/three tiny cubes of soup beef.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup, after which I read for another thirty minutes since I like reading for @ least one hour each day where possible before 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 brb 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!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 440b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Mobile ran flat and is charging right now; hopefully PIG mum'll give him back to Mr before dinner and I'll have a more proper plodding total to report. Righteoo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• PIG mum wouldn't lemme eat the sushi roll for arvo tea; instead, I munched one bowl of the chicken Caesar salad I made with Tiff; delicious! Unfortunately, the bowl was too close to the edge of the table ... it slipped, bounced into my lap and then did a death smash on the tiled floor! "Eep!" I screech, as the parents hurry over. "I'm okay but the bowl's shattered!" Dearest dad gives me a hand back over to the computer while PIG mum begins clearing up.
• May as well keep reading after dinner since I've already used up my most important two hours for the day.
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^ 

Friday Post 440

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today i've been hard @ work plodding 1010 steps (ha, I'm just over one grand although Peggy reckons I've actually gone 2/300 steps since we walked all around Underwood MarketPlace this morning); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional from last night's 'Hold Fast To Your Hope'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Rekindle Your Love For Jesus'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Hopes And Longings' and fithly, the spam count for the week's only eight. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until the noisy garbage truck awoke me when it THUNDERED down our road and started tipping bins @ 6:05am; after one pot :P trip I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh* 
• Usually nature calls hourly after that initial pot :P trip but happiness was sleeping soundly until dearest dad very considerately walked silently along the hallway and unpopped the lock on the garage door before waking again and relieving myself.
• After dearest dad kisses me bye, tries to suck Pearls six Pears, laughs when Pearl bodyslams him and I screech on his behalf, retucks me back into bed and leaves for his hard day's work, Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore for about one more hour, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Peggy's arrival @ 9am.
• After PIG mum lets Peggy in, she knocks, says good morning, fifteen more minutes? And wisely leaves when Pearl nods @ her, not that Pearl has the correct anatomy to give the Bear Bum. XD She actually comes back thirty seconds too early and starts peeling my layers away but I don't care coz it's not cold anymore; I just count down my thirty more seconds before responding and saying good morning. XD
• I use the tinkle for three more tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who squirts me some toothpaste. Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table.
• Breakfast was one bowl of Minus :P, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*

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

• After washing and drying Era, I climb into Peggy's passenger seat, she kindly helps me with my seatbelt and then tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace, parking @ the front and grabbing a trolley for us.

• Heading into Woolies we both buy groceries before sitting outside food court and playing on our mobiles. Before leaving, we buy me one sushi roll for arvo tea. I asked the guy Peggy paid was he Japanese and when he replied no, Korean, I said thanks to him in Korean. He looks suitably impressed and says thanks to me back in Japanese! Since when did I look Japanese?? XD

• Back home, I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helps me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

• I have one tinkle before Peggy flipped the nice warm water off, got dried, got creamed and got rekitted. When Peggy rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was helping with Elf's AFO straps and one last when she went to get my bag from the living room for me.

• Back outside, Peggy made me one delicious mug of white tea with two sugars and a buttered toastie with tuna in brine water and TWO slices of cheese, cut into two rectangles! She cleaned the bathroom before I signed her off with my thanks and byes. Peggy's back same time next Friday.

• When the parents got back they prepped the ingredients I'd need to make caesar salad with Tiff! PIG mum went swimming and I booted the computer up. 

• I heard Tiff knocking but since it's dad's job to let her in, I sure wasn't gonna do it. She rang the doorbell thrice before ringing the home phone; I yelled for dad to let Tiff in. XD

• See Facebook for the post and photos I shared about the chicken caesar salad!

• Tiff left, I plopped online and PIG mum returned home from swimming all about the same time. Dearest dad's gone to see Ray for treatment.

• Once I've used up my most important two hours of the day I'll head over to the gobbling :P table and have my afternoon tea sushi for lunch. Prolly won't get to read for one hour if I'm hoping to watch the 6pm news for the 189TH time! After dinner then, hopefully~

• Toms: Nisha's minding me from 10am till 2pm; presuming dad'll send us to Calamvale Central for walkies. Will shower after getting home since I don't get 4-6pm support anymore. Will ask Nisha to find me another book to read since I've almost finished Leanne's!

• Must remember to ask dad tonight is there any table tennis @ church toms arvo.

• Maybe I'll get to watch the 6pm news for the 190TH time toms!

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

Thursday Post 440b

 Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for Thursday! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 1310 but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-FIVE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 188TH time!! Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• Breakfast was one bowl of Minus :P, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. 

Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude.

See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into Karina's passenger seat and she tootles me off to the Garbo library for GCCW! Thanks to her who helps with my seatbelt all day~
• At the Garbo library, I use the loo for one tinkle and grab my usual spot in the meeting room.
• Only five attended today: five other gents and me! Stan was a sweetheart who escorted me to the bathroom for morning tea and seemed reluctant to lemme enter without him. XD Happy got me yummy morning tea~ We've one final meeting next month before ending for the year; for our morning tea Christmas party I'm bringing the juice~
• We ended early today so I texted Karina for pickup please but everyone left immediately hence why Stan walked with me to some single-seat armchair @ the entrance to wait for Karina's arrival.
• After one more looo trip Karina takes me to Woka Warrigal for lunch with Pole; good timing, we arrive @ like the same time!
•  Today I get the Hokkien fried rice (no prawns) with a cold HK-style milk tea, Pole gets some kinda laksa with a lemon Ribena and Karina gets the stir fry beef ho fan (although Woka has a different name for this dish) with her Coke. Over lunch we all chat; Pole tells me it's Zebby's last day of prep toms!
• Back home, I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Karina who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted I plop online while Karina returns to clean the bathroom and massage Ela very gently for about ten minutes before I sign her off with my thanks and byes.
• After PIG mum gets home, she feeds me some fruit for arvo tea plus one warm mug of sth before I do another stinky unspeakable and return online.
• Toms: Peggy's minding me 9-1. Dunno where PIG mum's gonna send us.
• Tiff's coming @ 2pm and making chicken caesar salad with me! My Chopping Board Of Death's getting excited. XD
• Fingers crossed I'll get to read Leanne's book for one hour and watch the 6pm news for the 190TH time!

Thursday Post 441

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1200 steps (seemingly small for Thursday but hey); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'When God Swears By God'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'How To Know Your Calling' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Trusting Our Future To God' (or was that yesterdays?) but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and SEVENTEEN MINUTES online after PIG mum comes home and feeds me some arvo tea!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 8th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until noisy PIG mum awoke me with her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs; after one pot :P trip I fell back sleep straightaway since I knew with certainty she'd get very noisy again one hour later!
• Like clockwork, noisy PIG mum a-THUMPING upstairs and getting changed for her half-day's work awakens me for another pot :P trip; 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* 
• Shortly afterwards, she's letself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before returning outside and waiting for Karina's arrival. Once she's let Karina in, she bolts off for her half-day's work.
• Karina knocks, says good morning and hitting the snooze button for fifteen more minutes ...   Pearl nods @ her and she wisely removes herself. She actually comes back thirty seconds too early and tries pulling my blankets away but since it's not cold anymore I don't really care; I just curl up with Pearl and ignore her for another half minute before finally swinging over to the pot :P for three more tinkles.
• After we get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who squirted me some toothpaste. Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for today! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 1773. See? Told you I'd crack 1.5 grand! XD Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• After dearest dad kisses me bye, retucks me back into bed, tries to suck Pearl's six pearls (Pearl bodyslams him for that but it's totally ineffective coz he's soft all over; dad just laughs XD) and leaves for his hard days work, Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore for about another hour, me waking once more for the pot :P 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 and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first. PIG mum comes back to help with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both shoelaces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Breakfast is one bowl of Minus :P, 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 bathroom, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

  
  

• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and she tootles me off to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture, all the while lamenting her lost wallet; maybe it was stolen when she went to Yuen's market yesterday? Of course, she gleefully forces me to buckle my seatbelt all day, we listened to 97.3FM all day and today, Era helps Ela stretch for forty-five minutes before Ela opens and closes her palm 200 times, holding each for a count of five. Era also helps Ela rub her fingers for seven minutes.

• At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle and lie down for some acupuncture and massage from Ray. Instead of her usual yappy self, this morning PIG mum was calling banks to cancel her credit cards in case anything got stolen. Aww, isn't Ray a champion? He lent PIG mum like $150 coz we needed to go shopping afterwards!

• Think we went to the big Yuen's market @ the back of Underwood MarketPlace? Oh, first we went to the big Fresco @ the end of Calamvale Central.

• Back home, I plopped online and did my GCCW homework while PIG mum found some lunch for us.

• SHE FOUND HER WALLET!! 'Twas tucked behind some chair? I immediately messaged Ray to inform him of the find; PIG mum telling me to say to Ray that dad'll return his $150 bucks when he saw him for treatment Friday.

• Lunch was rice leftovers; thanks to PIG mum who found some rice for me since we're not getting any tonight with Mr. Hall coming over for his birthday dinner!

• After lunch I popped online till Angelica came one minute late. After PIG mum let her inside she apologised for her mind being elsewhere coz she's got an unwell friend who's talking about suicide ... o_O

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

• I had one tinkle before Angelica flipped the nice warm water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Angelica rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was helping with Erf's sock and one last when she was giving Wally back to Ela.

• Back outside, arvo tea was one juicy pear, two chocolate Pocky sticks, one mug of some infusion and OMG, Angelica really did bring me a pudding milk tea!! :D Happiness was reading Leanne's book for one hour, reaching pg. 275 @ 4:06pm. 

• Before Angelica left @ 5:30pm, I used the loo for two more tinkles. Maybe she's back next Wednesday?

• Dearest dad's  come home early to cook Mr. Hall's birthday dinner! PIG mum's still remaking his birthday cake (the first failed); she'd better remember to tell me to help her come decorate it!

• Toms: Karina's taking me to the second-last GCCW for 2022! Must remember to bring Green Sticky, since Pat's already said she can't come toms, Alison's not come for like the whole year meaning I'll prolly be the only female present! Confident that I can get myself to the toilet and back with Green Stick; I've done it once before~

• Even more excitingly, I'm meeting up with Pole for lunch @ Woka Warrigal around 12:30! She's asked Ping Yee to mind Ezra and I'm presuming Zebby will be @ daycare/preschool/however old he is.

• So, prolly won't bbl unless Mr. Hall leaves super-early; hope everyone's having a smashing week!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Eep PIG mum says her cake has failed ... what will Mr. Hall do without a birthday cake?? o_O

Wednesday Post 441

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1494 steps (so I'm sure I'll have cracked 1500 once Angelica leaves XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Key To Spiritual Maturity'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Don't Let Go Of Your Vision' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Trusting Our Future To God' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUE and THIRTY-SIX MINUTES online after Angelica leaves @ 5pm!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 7th consecutive awesome sleep last night; that's the 12TH time this year I've scored one straight week of awesome sleeps! :D Nature didn't call until 6:20am and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh* 
• Nature usually calls hourly after that first morning pot :P trip, but happiness was snoring soundly with Pearl until dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently along the hallway and unpopped the lock into the garage before waking again to relieve myself.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 440

 Good afternoon! Firstly, I'm gonna login today's plodding total @ 6843 (Wally died and the step counter I downloaded into my mobile's very stingy with the number of steps he's giving me hence why PIG mum just said copy last Tuesday's total); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Gravity Of Gratitude';thirdly, TWFT topic's "Don't Keep Your Love In A Box!' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Faith In Action'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yeah, six consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:10am and after one pot :P trip I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh* 
• Usually nature calls hourly after that initial morning pot :P trip but happiness was snoring soundly with Pearl until dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently along the hallway and unpopped the lock into the garage @ 7:45am before waking for the pot :P again.
• After dearest dad kisses me bye, tries to suck Pearls six Pearls (Pearl just body slams him and I screech on his behalf, not that dad does anything other than laugh XD), retucks me back into bed and leaves for his hard day's work, Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking about one later once more for the pot :P before noisy PIG mum begins her noisy a-THUMPING around shortly after. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Hannah's arrival.
• Once PIG mum's let Hannah in, she sticks her head into my room, says good morning and fifteen more minutes ... Pearl nods @ her and she wisely removes herself, even though Pearl has the incorrect anatomy to give a Bear Bum. XD
• When Hannah comes back, I use the pot :P for three more tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Breakfast is three yummy Weet-Bix with a thin stream of honey, 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, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into Hannah's tank and she tootles me off to physio with Jacky @ Breathe Physio and Pilates. Unfortunately all the carparks were taken today, meaning Hannah had to park @ the very end and I had to hike the length of the entire complex to reach Breathe, but hey.
• Physio today with Eric: 2km bike ride, leg pulls 36 per lol eg), 36 sit-to-stands, shoulder pulls (46 for each arm) and boxing!
• Afterwards, Hannah tootles us off to Calamvale Central and parks outside the bakery.
• First we hike the length of the Calamvale Discount Fruit Market where Hannah buys a bag of avocados for PIG mum and then we both get bahn mis from the bakery; crackling pork for me and lemongrass chicken for Hannah. Some girl takes our orders and starts making them; suddenly, the owner uncle comes in through the side door, sees me and calls hi!
• Everything bought, Hannah tootles me home and I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Hannah who helps me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. I also sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song softly, slowly but most hatefully out aloud. Actually, I was all finished after 5%, but since Hannah said I had time to water myself, I happily fully leaned against the right side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling Hannah back.
• After getting dried, creamed and rekitted lunch was my delicious pork salad roll and one mug of yummy Taiwanese Chinese tea. At precisely 2pm PIG mum shooed Hannah away; she's back same time next week.
• Me, I used the loo for one more tinkle and then popped online for my most important two hours of the day.
• Hope the carer remembers to take me to Toastmasters @ 5:30pm!
• Toms: 11am appointment to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD
• Will go grocery shopping afterwards since we need to buy stuff for Mr. Hall's birthday dinner!
• Angelica's minding me 3-5pm. Must remember to write Mr. Hall's birthday card for him!
• Will hopefully have a great night celebrating his birthday with him~
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
