Sunday Post 449

 Good afternoon and HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Idiot Wally must've gotten drunk over NYE celebrations and forgot to start work this morning because he's only given me 693 steps but I've done HEAPS more than that! >< PIG mum just said take last Sunday's total but I've walked heaps more this Sunday than I did last Sunday! >< Hmph. Firstly, I'm gonna login Sunday's plodding total @ 2064; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional from last night's 'Death Rehearsal' thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Enjoy Each Day Of This New Year (1)'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Choose Joy' and fifthly, the spam count for the weekend's just three. Anyways, events for today?

• January the 1st's the only day I allow myself to call it an awesome night's sleep even though I didn't hit the sack until 12:50am! 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* 
• One hour later, I'm awakened for another pot :P trip when 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 exceedingly slightly with not only the bra strap but the tee (since dearest dad's still @ home) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum returns to help with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. She says she'll gimme a new tube of toothpaste tonight; wonder if she remembers .... XD
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Breakfast 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 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 buckle my seatbelt. PIG mum tootles us off to church; dearest dad's the parking usher when we arrive and snaps us a smart salute. XD
• I hike downstairs and use the normal ladies toilet once because the disabled loo lid's closed and PIG mum won't open it for me. 
• Entering the room I grab the seat @ the back on the most left and PIG mum bolts upstairs for the Canto service.Yay, stayed seated for service this morning. Sang everything I knew plus the harmony for two songs; Ela and Era also clapped along for a third but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was some Indian-looking guy who'd actually interviewed Peter Pie when he first wanted to become a pastor! "He did good," the speaker remarked about the interview to the laughter of everyone. XD
• After service ended I used the disabled toilet once myself then went back and sat outside the service hall coz someone had boiled a pot of red bean dessert soup for us! I'm not a fan, but drank one mug anyway coz I like sweet things. XD
• Even better, I joined Kalos, Aggie and seven others @ Niya's kitchen @ Market Square for lunch! I chose the cheapest item menu: rice cakes with a little pork mince and bok choy.
• Afterwards, I hiked all the way to Gong Cha for a pearl milk tea! I was clever and finished the whole drink before PIG mum got home. XD
• Used loo for one tinkle and then I walked myself slowly and safely back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• After I've used up my most important two hours of the day I might type up the sermon summary Aggie wants me to do for today's sermon.
• Doubt dad will take us out for dinner ... *sigh*
• Toms: makeup public holiday! If dad won't take us out anywhere I'm staying in bed ALL DAY before getting up to watch the 6pm news bulletin @ 5:50pm. XD The only alas is that I'll not get any support ... *another sigh*
• Anyways, hopefully bbl else hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 449c

Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3533. Ha, I'm just over 3.5 grand. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• At 9pm, I used the loo for one more tinkle and then hiked upstairs to visit the second floor!
• Lol I'd forgotten where the light switch for the corner guest bedroom was; luckily I remembered where the light switch for the middle guest bedroom was, went and turned that on, before coming back to the corner guest bedroom and finding that light switch. Lay down on the sofa bed there for several minutes.
• Headed next to the middle guest bedroom but didn't linger there coz there's no bed/not even a chair.
• Visited the parents' walk-in wardrobe (PIG mum has LOTSA clothes!) then flopped onto their Queen bed for several minutes but didn't bother trying to find the remote and turn the TV on.
• Finally, my room! Annoyance was realising PIG mum hadn't cleared all the crap she'd left on my bed like she did last year, I sat in the computer chair and tried to open the computer but couldn't remember the password. XD
• Tired of waiting for PIG mum to come home and clear my bed by 9:30pm, I simply pulled everything to the ground and then lay there, reflecting on 2022. XD
• PIG mum got home from partying and chucked a cow @ me. Dad came upstairs and ordered I sit up and put everything back onto the bed. In that case, he could wait. Wait while I put my shoes back on, wait while I scooted far enough forward on the bed to get both feet on the ground (I can get up with just Erf but PIG mum's always chucking a stink about how you need BOTH feet and wait until I slowly made my way over to the computer chair and started putting things back onto bed. Lol, dad got impatient and TIPPED me outta the chair! XD No bother, I calmly continued putting things back onto my bed and then waited for dad to pull me back up; didn't feel like doing the whole two-point-to-one-point-to-shove-up procedure. XD
• Used the loo once but couldn't wash my hand in the bathroom coz dad's shoowering! XD
• PIG mum's already hit the sack; suppose I'll see her next year.
• After publishing this, I've gotta finish my 2022 Reflections!
• Toms: HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Just church, nothing special but it's @ 9am so will haveta get up early. Dunno what's happening for the rest of the day either.
• Cya all next year!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 449b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3190 (sweet I'm past 3000 XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'A Final Word'. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle and then headed down to the gobbling :P table and ate my arvo tea - half of the chicken sushi roll I bought on like Tuesday and clean forgot to eat (tastes disgusting XD), half the veggie tempura sushi roll I bought with Nisha today and one yummy mug of peppermint tea.
• I then played another fifty levels of Jewel Quest! Have reached level 250 now. Have passed fifty levels each day after getting this newq mobile; dunno how long I can keep that up. XD
• Watched the 6pm bulletin (Nine's) for the 210TH time! All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• When dad summoned me over for dinner @ 7:50pm, 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 lettuce, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup tomato, lotsa soup potato, two little half corn cobettes and about 1.5 marinated short pork ribs.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking my bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. 
• Going to visit the loo after publishing this post then doing my once-yearly hike upstairs to visit my upstairs room (hopefully PIG mum's cleared all her stuff from my bed else I'm just gonna sweep it all onto the floor!! XD) before coming back down to write my reflections for 2022 and then welcome 2023 in! So maybe bbl but if not, cya all next year!Cheers,
  Em. ^^ 

Saturday Post 449

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2915 steps (so will definitely have cracked three grand before the day's out); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Outfitted And Empowered'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Five Resolutions To Work On' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Finishing Strong' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and FIFTEEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 210TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Aww, what better way to finish 2022 with than with my 10TH consecutive awesome sleep last night?? My only regret's that I didn't have any food dreams this year!! XD Nature didn't call until 6:10am; 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* 
• One hour later, noisy PIG mum a-THUMPING upstairs to get changed for her halfday's work's my wakeup call to use the pot :P again. At 7:30am she lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before bolting off for her halfday's work. After she leaves, 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*

•  Once dearest dad retucks me back into bed, says he'll leave me some rice leftovers for lunch and promises to stay quiet so that Pearl and I can snore in peace, we have such a happy snore together that I don't wake again to use the pot :P until dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently down the hallway and unpopped the lock into the garage before nature calls again!

• After Nisha arrives @ 10am and dad lets her in, she knocks, pushes open the door and says, "Fifteen more minutes?" Pearl's grumpy that she didn't bid us good morning first, but since I'm just using my Pikachu bolster's hand to wave 'shoo' @ Nisha, he doesn't get a say. XD

• Once I've counted my fifteen more minutes I swing myself over to the pot :P calling out to Nisha that I'm hungry. When she doesn't reply I stay over the pot then use Era to bang the wall and said louder, "Nisha, I said I'm HUNGRY! Where are you??" She answers brightly, "Coming!" and appears.

• I stay over the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Thanks to Nisha who squirts me some toothpaste, although I'm hoping PIG mum'll himme a new one for 2023!

• 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!

  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 210TH time: Haas (heard), Zimmer (heard), Hanlon, Snow, Greer, Bavas, Leadbetter (heard), Palaszczuk, Sydes, Brunner, Calingasan, Armstrong, Quinlan, Cavallaro, Fry, Kearsley, Piotrowski, Trump, Tassone, Kyrgios (heard), Stosur, Nanai (heard), Khawaja (heard), Labuschagne (heard), Glttlieb (heard) and Kubler. Ebony Cavallaro read the weather report from the Brisbane Quarter. Brisbane was 21-29 today. Mt. Gravatt toms: 19-28. Sunrise 4:55am sunset 6:47

• After washing and drying Era, I headed out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast. Thanks to dearest dad who cooked his weekly ham and eggs and thanks to Nisha who added one slice of cheese for me, even though she really doesn't know how to cook the bread yummy with butter. XD Since I couldn't see the Joan of Arc book I'm reading I just started playing Jewel Quest; maybe I could pass another fifty levels today! Once Nisha finished her own breakfast I asked her to please massage Ela since she was just playing with her mobile.

• While Nisha closed and locked windows I used the loo for another tinkle and then climbed into Biscuit Tuesday's passenger seat. Dunno why Nisha doesn't help me with my seatbelt anymore, but hey. 

• She grabbed a trolley for us; I bought a 2L carton of milk and a box of cheap facial tissues from Woolies and then we bought fruit from the Mega Discount Fruit Market. Once we exited the checkout, Nisha was steering the trolley to leave but I held it still, asking her may we please go and see if Uncle Michael's @ the Calamvale Centrasl Bakery? There's nobody there right now, so I'll not be disturbing him. Nisha goes sure and we steer the trolley towards the bakery; as Uncle Michael comes into view, he looks up, sees me and immediately raises his hand, going "Happy New Year!" I wave Era @ him in response and reply, "Cya next year!"

• Back home, I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Wow I'm feeling very lucky: I've had hairwash help 256 times from 365 days this year!

• I have one tinkle before Nisha flips the nice warm water off, get dried, get creamed and have another tinklee. When Nisha rekits me, I have one more tinkle when she's helping with Erf's sock and one last when she's giving Wally back to Ela.

• Back outside, Nisha reheats lunch for me with added oyster sauce (breakfast's a lost cause but she does lunch yummy!) and makes me another big mug of white tea with two sugars before going to clean the bathroom then coming back to eat her sushi for lunch. Oh, correction: we bought sushi from Sushi Guru before going to say hi to Uncle Michael, after buying produce from the Calamvale Mega Discount Fruit Market. After I've drunk the second mug she makes me a third, since Saturday's my white tea day.

• At 1:50pm I sit over the loo and do another stinky unspeakable. Dad gets home, immediately signs her off and shoes her away; I've gotta yell and say Nisha come back I've not said bye to you yet; I didn't coz I was sitting over the loo! XD Once Nisha left dad immediately started bugging me to get outta the loo NOW; I was like, gotta wipe my butt first coz I did a number two. XD

• Once we arrived @ church some random immediately got a chair for me and I felt loved~

• Dad and I played immediately before sitting out the second round. After playing the third round, I asked dad please to gimme a hand to the loo and then coming back we played one more round together. Dad even lemme win after taking the final point to like four/five dueces! XD

• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle and then headed down -bbl!

• 
  

Friday Post 449c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 3324. Forgive me that I can't be bothered getting up and walking a further nine steps to make it 3333. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I e-mailed Mrs. Burvill-Shaw back: see, she promised me we'd have lunch together before 2022 runs out but the last day's toms! XD I've given her my mobile in case she's serious about lunch together.
• Mrs. Burvill-Shaw also gave me the link to register my interest to playing para sport and I've registered my interest. Let's see where this leads ...
• 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 from 10am till 2pm. Will presumably buy a box of tissues from Calamvale Central but won't need to buy another sushi roll since I forgot to eat the one I bought recently! It won't taste fresh but hey. Showering upon getting home since I don't get 4-6pm support anymore on Saturdays.
• Going with dearest dad to play table tennis @ church; must remember to ask him will he please take me out for dinner with him while PIG mum's partying with her badminton friends coz Sunday's New Years' Day and I'm pretty sure dad won't take us out for our once weekly dinner when every place has a public holiday surcharge happening!
• And since it's the FINAL day of 2022, I've gotta hike upstairs and visit my old room before coming back downstairs and composing my reflections for 2022!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 449b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 3226 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Amen'. Righteo, continuing today's events?

• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table. While I'm walking down the hallway with Peggy, I ask her what she had for breakfast this morning and she replies honey toast. Good girl; when she first started looking after me she'd always skip breakfast but I roused @ her, screeching that breakfast's the most important meal of the day and she'd better eat it!
• For breakfast I eat one bowl of healthy cereal, pop all my usual drugs :P and drink one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, I sit once more over the loo. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Peggy's car. She kindly helps me with my seatbelt both ways and then tootles us off to Calamvale Central, parking underground since the weather's not looking very promising today.
• Peggy grabs a trolley for us, and we start first with buying fruit @ the Mega Discount Fruit Market before grabbing more groceries from Woolies. That done, we sit outside Woolies and play with our mobiles until almost midday.
• Buying one chicken sushi roll for arvo tea, Peggy tootles me home and I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who rinses my hair out for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• After getting dried, creamed and rekitted, Peggy quickly makes me one mug of tea white and two plus my toasted tuna sandwich with double cheese, although she doesn't get time to butter it since the parents get home and hurry her away. XD
• Lunch finished, I plopped briefly online until dad demanded I play ping pong with him for thirty minutes.
• That done, I used the loo for one tinkle before returning online.
• When the parents summoned me to dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: rice, but no greens! Lotsa soup tomato, lotsa soup tomato, lotsa soup carrot, two/three thin slices of lotus root, one corn cob and one thin pork rib.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowlful of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for the day, the final, final events for the night, the final, final spam count for the week plus what's happening toms else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^ 

Friday Post 449

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3021 steps (ha, I'm just over three grand XD); secondly, John Piper';s daily devotional topic from last night's 'A Horrible Destiny'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Don't Look Back" (2); fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Grace Among The Chaos' and fifthly the spam count for the week's fifteen but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THREE MINUTES online after dinner tonight!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 9th consecutive sleep last night! Nature called after I was weoken by the noisy garbage truck THUNDERING down the road to tip our bins; 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 called again around 7:45am. Usually around this time dearest dad leaves for work but since I hear no sound downstairs from him I presume he's not working today either.
•  Another hour of happy snoring for Pearl and me; PIG mum's noisy daily a-THUMPING around upstairs wakes me for another pot :P trip. 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 indoors, she knocks, says good morning, fifteen more minutes? and wisely leaves when I use my awesome Pikachu bolster's hand @ her. 
• When Peggy comes back, I use the pot :P once more for three tinkles while we catchup on how our weeks have been, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who squirts some toothpaste for me; I'm running very low and need a new tube very soon.

Lol, and she thinks she's soo amazing, giving me fifteen minutes longer than usual. XD But just super-quickly, final, final events for Thursday?

• Karina came @ 7:30am and took me to Sunnybank Plaza to see Avatar2 @ the Hoyts cinema! I roused @ her for not eating breakfast, said she'd better get sth when we arrived (I sat in food court while she bought our tickets) and she came back with one dum sum for us each! Second breakfast, hell yeah! XD
• The movie was AWESOME with @ least five instances of that huge orchestral sound I'm a sucker for!
• Had lunch @ C Cafe afterwards; lol, not only does Jacky recognise me, the waitress even knows to bring Karina a cup of ice with her Coke!
• Showered most fast when I got home but Karina still left five minutes late today.
• Suddenly dad takes us to Westfield Carindale for some post-Christmas shopping! He lemme use Sparkless3, score~
• Had dinner @ Motto Motto, yay for ramen!
• Toms: Peggy's minding me 9-1; fingers crossed PIG mum'll llemme use Sparkless3 @ Garbo again!
• Tiff's already in HK so no OT for me toms arvo but I've gotta finish my post on what I did for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day coz the day after's the last day for 2022 and I've gotta write my yearly reflections!

Thursday Post 449

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2135 steps (ha, I'm over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Glory Is The Goal' thirdly, TWFT topic's "Don't Look Back (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Just As I Am' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and FORTY-FIVE MINUTES online after dinner tonight!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 8th 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.

Wednesday Post 449b

 Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for today! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 1650 (ha, I'm over 1.5 grand XD) but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and ONE MINUTE online after getting home from dinner @ Uncle William's place tonight!! Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• Breakfast finished, 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 me off to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Obviously, she gleefully forced me to buckle my own seatbelt all day, we listened to 97.3FM all day too and today, Era helped Ela stretch for fifty minutes, before Ela opened and closed her palm like 250 times, holding each for a count of five.
• Aww, isn't Ray the sweetest? When I arrived, he immediately gave me the present he'd got for me from the zoo: a little notebook with an elephant on it!
• After using the loo once, I lay down and got some massage and acupuncture from him. PIG mum was in her element yapping ceaselessly @ him; my grateful thanks to Ray who always replied and kept a conversation flowing.
• After one more loo trip, dad tootled us out to Garbo for some post-Christmas sales and thankfully, he lemme use Sparkless3! I got a new top or two, as did dad. Can't remember did PIG mum buy herself anything, but we had arvo tea @ Donut King: half a donut and two bites of hot dog for me.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 449

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1122 steps (ha, I'm over one grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'What Is Your Aim?'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'What Do You See? (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'In All Our Dealings' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-ONE MINUTES online after lunch!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 7th consecutive awesome sleep last night! What a fantastic way to end the year with: the 15TH time this year I've achieved one straight week of awesome sleeps! True, for the past three years, I've somehow managed to achieve TWENTY-FIVE of these one straight week of awesome sleeps, but mother says that's not important. Nature didn't call until 6:05am, and after one pot :P trip I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh* 
• I woke @ 7:45am again for the pot :P and wondered how come dearest dad wasn't leaving for work yet? Then I remembered dad saying he's working @ the Kwok residence today.
• Around 9am I'm woken for a third pot :P trip when 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 not only the tee but the bra strap (since dearest dad's @ 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 and 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.
• After getting myself a spoon (the 25TH time this year), breakfast is 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*
  Cheere,
  Em. ^^

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 1514. Ha, I'm just over 1.5 grand. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous level, I continued playing Jewel Quest; doing level thirty-four now!
• At 9pm I walked myself slowly and safely once more to the loo for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Toms: 11am appointment to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage; bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him. XD Me, I'm looking forward to see the souvenir Ray's brought me back from Melbourne; if he got me a nut bar I'll go spac @ him. XD
• Argh PIG mum's a complete party pooper: just asked her can I please buy a pork salad roll from Uncle Michael @ Calamvale Central for lunch coz I didn't go today (makeup public holiday) but horrid PIG mum's already said 'no' because apparently I've eaten 'too much' over Christmas! Well, how the heck could I possibly have when she's always around restricting mee? >< Grr.
• Kim's minding me 4-6pm. Will ask PIG mum tonight may I ask her what happened to her daughter, now that Michelle said she used to look after her.
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. PIG mum's baking a cake right now; apparently we're going to Uncle William's place for dinner? Well, she'd better not disturb my beauty sleep, it's my last chance to get one more week of awesome sleeps! For the past three years I've somehow managed TWENTY-FIVE times when I got one week of awesome sleeps but this year it's suddenly dropped back to like twelve?

Tuesday Post 448b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 1486 (so will have surely passed 1.5 grand before the night's out XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Heartbroken Holiday'. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• Before PIG mum left, I asked her to please leave the television on for me since I wanted to watch the news from the couch once my most important two hours of the day were up.
  
• I used the loo once for one tinkle before crashing onto the couch. While waiting for the news to start, I downloaded a version of Bejeweled to play - and I've already reached level twenty-four! XD
• After the news had ended, I used the loo for another tinkle and then returned online.
• When dad summoned me over for dinner @ 7:41pm, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely over to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa some melon, lotsa yummy kailan, lotsa soup carrot, one small slice of tasteless soup pork and one duck leg with most of the meat already removed.
• 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.
• Righteo, fingers crossed I can bbl after one final loo trip with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms, else hope everyone's has a lovely Wednesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 448

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1360 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'How To Contemplate Calamity'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'What Do You See? (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Beating As One'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 5am 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* 
• I awake for the pot :P again around 7:45am and wonder why dad isn't leaving for work yet and then realise: today's the second make-up public holiday!
• Around 9am I'm awakened again for the pot :P when 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 not only the bra strap but the tee (since dearest dad's still @ home) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes and using the pot :P once more first.
• PIG mum comes back to help with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO staps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Yesterday I unwrapped a new electric toothbrush but it's not been charged yet since PIG mum's charging my new mobile first.
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Breakfast is another of the yummy pork floss and shallot buns PIG mum made for Min's and my lunch for Christmas day, 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. 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 into the garage and brace against dad's 4WD, waiting for PIG mum to unlock the door so I could climb into the backseat.
• Today dad drove us to Raby Bay; it's thirty minutes away! When I commented to dad that the sand was nice along Surfers Paradise in the Gold Coast, dad laughed and explained that's because the sand @ Raby Bay was trucked in; the Surfer's Paradise sand's actually the shoreline!
• PIG mum took me once to the loo and then I hiked all the way back to where had fired up the barbie.
• As expected, lunch was sparse but yummy. I had one slice of bread with half a sausage inside, one slice of orange and one slice of pork. Before eating Erf had kicked off her shoe and Era peeled off her sock; dad took me for a wander along the waterline and PIG mum filmed it!
• Once dad drove us home I took a nice warm 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 after only 10% but happily leaned fully against the side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling PIG mum back.
• After she dried my back and the back of the chair for mee, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
• After drying the loo lid, I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, washed and dried Era and then walked myself slowly and safely back out to the gobbling :P table, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Arvo tea was another wee slice of PIG mum's birthday cheesecake and one yummy mug of Chinese tea.
• Before plopping online I used the loo for one tinkle.
• Toms: seeing Ray for some acupuncture and massage @ 11am; he's back from his holidays! Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him. XD
  
• Apparently Kim's minding me from 4-6? PIG mum said when Kim was here last, she said cya next Wednesday when she left. When she leaves tomorrow, I'd liked to ask her what happened to Amy coz when Michelle came for her yearly review recently she said she used to look after her?
• Ooh hoping I can watch the 6pm bulletin for the 210TH time!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone else a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news (Seven's) for the 209TH time: 

Monday Post 448c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2290. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I sent out my XMas Greetings belatedly. XD
• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Opening all my XMas presents tonight! :D
• Toms: hoping dad'll take us to the beach!
• The only alas is that I'll not get any support toms either ... *sigh*
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^ 

Monday Post 448b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2229 (aww, how come I couldn't have walked seven steps fewer?? 2222 would've looked cooler! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Gift Of Something More' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THREE MINUTES online after I visit the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• The next time PIG mum woke me for another pot :P trip with her noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs, 'twas around 9am. Soon, she'd let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with not only the bra strap but the tee (since dearest dad@ home) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes and using the pot :P once more first.
• PIG mum comes back to help with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I 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 was one bowl of healthy cereal (Plus/All-Bran/Weet-Bix, 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 walked 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.

See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climbed into the backseat of dad's 4WD. I thought he'd take us for our once-yearly trip to Carindale (I really wanted the cheap breakfast crepe for lunch, but instead, he drove us to Capalaba Central! I didn't mind, since he lemme use Sparkless3, phew.
• I bought three books with the gift voucher Mrs. Dent and Nana gave me for Christmas, as well as this rather tight-fitting Minion tee! PIG mum jeers that I'll haveta lose weight to fit into it. XD
• For lunch, dad tootled us across the road for fish and chips! Good timing: when we arrived the place was half-empty but once we sat down EVERYONE else arrived and there weren't any spots left! The only frustrating thing was dad ordering a two-person platter for three people and then taking a portion away for later. *sigh* Obviously I didn't get much.
• We then visited Capalaba Town and bought a tin of Roses for Leanne coz she'd rung PIG mum while we were having lunch and she invited us over to her place!
• 'Twas great seeing Aunty Diana too; I'd not seen her since 2009!
• I used the loo once myself before dad tootled us home. I booted the computer up, heard the parents eating and asked for some arvo tea too.
• After using the loo once I plopped briefly online until PIG mum ordered me off to go shower.
• So a nice hot shower for me - I washed and rinsed my hair today. I also sang 20$% of my shorter second-favourite song softly, slowly but most hatefully out aloud. Actually, I was all done after only 10% but happily leaned fully against the side rail and happily watered myself for another tinkle before flipping the nice warm water off and calling PIG mum back.
• After PIG mum dried my back and the back of the chair for me, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laaces needed tying.
  After drying the loo seat, I sat for one tinkle, washed and dried Era and then headed over to the gobbling :P table coz clever dad somehow had gotten PIG mum birthday cake! Some frozen Sara Lee cheesecake, I think? But yay she has cake; hopefully that means I'll get cake for my birthday next year. XD
• Dad left for his mate's birthday party; I plopped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 208TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• Once the news finished, 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.
• PIG mum ordered me to say grace; dinner tonight was more of that delicious sticky rice that Aunty Candice cooked! That was topped with an entire bowlful of yummy kai lan, sweet soup carrot and dearest dad's home-grown hairy melon.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. 
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^ 

Monday Post 448

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2127 steps (ha, I'm over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Three Christmas Presents'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Love Your Church - Jesus Does! and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "When You're Afraid" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-FIVE MINUTES online after watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 208TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 4:55am (my favourite thing about Summer's prolly how early the Sun rises!) 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 again around 7:45am; while I'm over the pot :P I realise that dad doesn't work over public holidays! XD
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 448e

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2064 (ha, I'm just over two grand XD) and secondly, the final, final spam count for the weekend's now only three. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• At  9pm I walked myself slowly and safely once more to the loo for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. Actually, I didn't go until 9:02pm since I was too happily Whatsapping with Fi. XD
• Toms: it's Boxing Day and PIG mum's BIRTHDAY! Fingers crossed dad will take us to Westfield Carindale and lemme use Sparkless3!
• But toms night he's ditching us and going to his mate's birthday party! I've yelled @ him coz tomorrow's also PIG mum's BIRTHDAY!!
• But I'm looking forward to opening all my Christmas presents toms!! :D

Sunday Post 448d

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ (so expecting I'll just pass 2000 before the night's out XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'A Memorable Christmas Gift'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• When Dr. Esther rang the doorbell, I went and opened the door for her. Unfortunately, PIG mum appeared too, meaning I couldn't whine @ her for not bringing copious amounts of arvo tea for me. XD
• Took a nice warm shower afterwards - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song softly, slowly but most hatefully out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was already done after just 10%, but happily leaned fully against the side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling PIG mum back.
• After she dried my back and the back of the chair, I did everything else until Elf's AFO straps needed doing and both laces needed tying. When she stuck a tee on my lap, I said what about my bra first? She replies we're not eating out tonight! Do you know how expensive things are today?? Sure but aren't you like inviting the Slams over? I asked. Nope, saw them for lunch already. Well, whatever.
• After drying the loo lid, sitting for one tinkle, drying inside both ears and washing and drying Era, I headed over to the couch where PIG mum had kindly turned on the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for me. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 207TH time: Katrina Blowers read the 6pm news (Seven's). All the interesting surnames I saw: Quinn, Kitchen, Burley, Prestridge, Gyte, Coleridge, Sweetman, Catt, Bissell,Faham, Carkeet, Bastian (first name), Boll, Albanese McKellar, Whitfield, Bechwati, Wheadon, Gillman, Tamika (first name), Brinkley, Middledorp, Hogan, Winning, Shafter, Whop, Sariovski, Grosset, Goldfinch, Mayr (pronounced Mayor), Quist, Liew, Abbas (heard), Boland (heard), Cummins, Hazelwood (heard), Elgar, Mailata, Tszyu, Tao (first name), and Darlymare. Georgie Chumbley read the weather report. Brisbane was 21-28 today. Katie Brown read the sports report. Brisbane tomorrow: 21-27. Mt. Gravatt tomorrow: 19-27 
• The news finished, I continued playing mobile games coz dad had just mopped the floor and set it's still slippery; don't get off the couch yet.
• When dinner was called, I used the loo for one tinkle before walking 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.
• Christmas dinner tonight: very soya sauce-soaked rice, lotsa yummy cauliflower, one lil yummy Chinese mushroom, one little chunk of tasteless soup pork and one slice of tinned pear! Disappointing fare for a Christmas dinner, but hey.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of  soup; after taking my bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Anyways, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for the day, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,

Sunday Post 448c

Good afternoon and potentially one final greeting for today! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 1647. Ha, I'm over 1.5 grand. XD Righteo, take two: events for today?

• Yay, 4th 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 asleep immediately coz I knew she'd get very noisy again one hour later!
• Like clockwork, I'm awoken for another pot :P trip exactly one hour later @ 7:20am, when noisy PIG mum goes upstairs and gets changed for church. After another pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*

•  PIG mum lets herself into my room and hits me with the eye goo @ 7:30am, deliberately refusing to say Merry Christmas even though I ask her will she say it/or is she expecting me to say the greeting first. She helps me exceedingly slightly with not only the tee but the bra (since dearest dad's @ 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 and 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 the less yummy (sticky) All-Bran, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. When I whine to PIG mum isn't she supposed to gimme sth special for *Christmas* morning she retrieves the box of Coco Pops that I kept after our SG retreat back in like September and shakes a bit over the cereal for me. I'm happy, then: sitting and listening to those little bubbles go pop! 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* During and after breakfast I happily read for one hour, and FINISH THE PHILLIPA GREGORY HISTORICAL FICTION NOVEL!! What shall I read next?

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

• After washing and drying Era, I plop online till 9:15am, when dad tootles me to church. Thanks to Dr. Esther who sat beside me in one row of chairs; most people brought picnic rugs to sit on but I was like if I sit down on the ground I can't get back upright without help ... may I just stay seated?

• For worship today I sang everything< plus the harmony for three songs> (that"s supposed to be a full stop but my keyboard got confused and besides< the caps lock light"s on right now but the letters are still lowercase! XD
  

• Speaker today was Peter Pie; his sermon topic was God Works Through The Unexpected.

• After service I thought I was going with Min to grab lunch from Maccas but dad insisted on dropping me home first? Lol I bet he'd arranged with PIG mum for her to go empty the commode just as she arrived home, meaning she slammed the lid down and demanded I hike upstairs to pee! Luckily the lid was up. 

• Back downstairs I booted the computer up; the parents left to party @ the Slams while I sat @ the front door and awaited Min's arrival.

• OMG she bought us a LARGE meal from Maccas each!! PIG mum can't bite my head off for that since I only ordered a medium. With her yummy pork floss and shallot buns plus Asian salad; 'twas a yummy lunch indeed!

• Min's one year older than me and has three younger sisters. She actually got out her laptop and showed me this program called sth like FX/Fruity Loops that she made music and earned money from!

• She even bought dessert! We had two chocolate cookies each; I took a photo and laughed @ Dr. Lee: see what you're missing out on? XD

• When Min left shortly after 4pm I walked her to the door and said thanks for coming. She's flying back down to Melbourne on Tuesday/Thursday and is a data analyst by trade.

• The parents got home and immediately bagged me out for eating too much for lunch. I said what? Min brought Maccas and we just ate what you left us! PIG mum screeches you said she was only bringing dessert! Me: oh, yeah: there's a pack of choc chip cookies in the fridge. XD

• Dr. Esther's just messaged, saying she's coming with David to pickup his forgotten waterbottle.

• Wonder will I get the chance to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 207TH time?

• Toms: it's Boxing Day and PIG mum's BIRTHDAY! Was hoping to wander Westfield Carindale with a wheelchair coz we only ever visit there once a year but apparently dad says he wants to take us to the beach?

• But lol, he's dumping PIG mum and I at home on her BIRTHDAY and going to his mate's party! XD

• Me, I'm just looking forward to tearing open my presents toms night, although I'm regretting that PIG mum prol - bbl!
  Cheers,

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3144. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I continued sending my XMas Greetings around~
• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Toms: it's CHRISTMAS!! Presume PIG mum'll help me up before dashing off to attend the CM Christmas service. Dad says he'll take me to attend the English one @ 11am; he's not attending tomorrow's service since he already went tonight.
• Afterwards, the parents are going to the Slams but Esther's grabbing Maccas and crashing my place! Else grabbing Maccas with me and then crashing my place! PIG mum says she'll leave us some bread and Chinese salad. Afterwards, we're just planning to watch YouTube until she leaves around 3pm.
• Just a quiet night ahead coz I don't think the parents are gonna invite anyone over for dinner come Christmas night?
• Anyways, hope to see everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• Nisha minded me from 10am till 2pm. We went to Calamvale Central for grocery shopping, before coming home for a shower and eating the rice leftovers dad left Nisha to reheat for my lunch.
• Went to church and played ping pong with dearest dad! Turns out Aunty Carly's quite moist too, not just Uncle Wallace. XD

Friday Post 448

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1223 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'That You May Believe'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "When It Doesn't Feel Like Christmas"; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Granny Whale' and fifthly, the spam count for the week's thirteen. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:20am, and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh* 
• Nature next called around 7:45am and I wondered how come dearest dad wasn't leaving for work but then realised this year, he's usually taken Fridays off.
• At 8:50am I'm woken again for another pot :P trip when 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 Peggy's arrival @ 9am.
• After Peggy comes in, she knocks, says good morning, fifteen more minutes? And wisely leaves when Pearl nods @ her, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum, even though Pearl's anatomically incorrect to give the Bear Bum. XD
• When Peggy comes back, I use the pot :P for three more tinkles, we get me kitted and I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who's already squirted some toothpaste for me.
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle and then head out to the gobbling :P table. Walking behind me, Peggy tells me that she had avocado toast for breakfast this morning.
•  For breakfast, I get a bowl of cereal (part Sultana bran and part All-Bran), 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 and she tootles me off to Underwood MarketPlace. Thanks to her who helped me with my seatbelt both ways but 'twas a pity she refused to park closer to the entrance but hey.
• Our first stop was to Woolies to buy milk and whatever other groceries PIG mum was after.
• Then I took a photo with Santa! He was Chinese like me and stick a peace sign up. XD
• Besides Santa, two elves were face-painting, so I lined up and got a gingerbread man painted on my cheek too!
• All that done, Peggy and I took a seat. This morning I gave her a box of Ferrero Rocher and a Christmas card and I got a Christmas card from her in return; @ food court she bought me one veggie fry (tempura veggie sushi minus the rice and seaweed)  for morning tea and herself a small cup of chips! She even shared a few chips with me; I liked the chicken salt. XD
• Back home I showered most fast - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• I had one tinkle before Peggy flipped the nice warm water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Peggy rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was helping with Erf's sock and one last after she'd given Wally back to Ela.
• Back outside, lunch was one bowl of mostly tasteless rice leftovers, with lotsa yummy cabbage and a few wee chunks of delicious chicken.
• Peggy's shifts ends @ 1pm but the poor thing had to stay a further two minutes because PIG mum was still yapping @ her! XD
• They left just as Aunty Carol, Jess and her two kids arrived for their once-yearly visit! Well they didn't come last year coz of COVID, but was good to see them this year!
• We chatted and took photos. Dad arrived home to join the photo-taking, too!
• Once I'ved used up the two most important hours of my day I'll head over to the gobbling :P table to read for one hour. Hopefully PIG mum'll feed me some arvo tea?
• Apparently tonight we're going to Simon and Alice's place for dinner and more karaoke singing!
• Toms: it's Christmas Eve! PIG mum's still working; Nisha's still minding me from 10am till 2pm so will hopefully get another sushi roll for arvo tea.
• Must remember to ask dad is there any table tennis @ church toms arvo.
• Prolly won't bbl, so wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 448c

 Good evening and definitely one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3367. WOW, tonight dad drove PIG mum and I out to Queen Street Mall and I got to see the awesome Christmas tree for the THIRD time!! Had Red Rooster for dinner and hiked up half the stairs coming home but descended back down half when I heard PIG mum lift the lid. XD Hope everyone has a lovely end to the week toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Thursday Post 448b

 Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for today! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2416. Lol, will definitely have cracked 2.5 grand before the day ends! XD Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• Not giving me my usual fifteen more minutes, PIG mum quickly helped me up, left me breakfast and bolted off for her half-day's work. Dad followed suit, with the order that I ring him when the carer arrives and also every fifteen minutes while I'm waiting. 
• Since the CODA office opens @ 9am, I rang @ 9am and then every fifteen minutes later, chasing for any female carer to take me out! I talked with three/four different CODA members; originally Michelle said she'd look for CODA staff; when none were available she said she'd look for Staffing Options and when even they weren't available she said she'd keep looking! Finally @ 10:57 Michelle found Amy who was gonna arrive in twenty minutes!
• I sat by the front door and awaited her arrival; when she hadn't arrived I rang CODA again asking where's Amy?? Know when she finally arrived?? 11:45am!!! XD
• Obviously there wasn't any time to watch Avatar2; Amy just drove me to Sunnybank Plaza and parked underground.
• I sat down outside Daiso and asked Amy to please find the Christmas gift PIG mum was after before following her inside to get it. Since I didn't see anything suitable for her birthday present I suggested how about we try KMart next? Surely Peppa Pig's still popular among little kids?
• At Kmart the lady minding the front directed us towards the toy section; once we reached that section I braced against one shelf and sent Amy to find what I was after and she found it! Dad will definitely appreciate the gift too, since he was a house builder by trade.
• Our last stop for the day was C Cafe for lunch! Amy got herself a plate of crinkle cut chips while I had the pork chop in onion sauce with rice and a cold HK-style milk tea coffee. I was very impressed with my lunch because the onion sauce actually came with three tiny onion pieces (pinky fingernail size), one slice of carrot and one chunk of broccoli! There were two tradies sitting beside us; I complimented the older one on his use of chopsticks since I was only using a spoon and a fork; he laughed and said he'd worked in Hong Kong for twenty years and needed to learn how to use chopsticks lest he starve! XD
• Back home, I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Amy who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• I had one tinkle before Amy flipped the nice warm water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Amy 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.
• Heading outside, I booted the computer up and asked Amy to please clean the bathroom. 'Twas 3pm when she came back; I asked her next to massage Ela for thirty minutes before I signed her off @ 3:30, except she spent the first ten minutes tapping @ her phone, only ten minutes very gently massaging Ela and the last ten jotting mileage down, etc.! XD
• At 3:30pm I headed over to the gobbling :P table and signed her off with my thanks and byes; she's working both public holidays so will be filthy rich soon! Since she's NEVER had a bubble tea before, I told her to use all that extra cash to treat yourself to one and then come back, drive me somewhere and have another one with me.
• Had a banana and drank one mug of peppermint tea, used the loo for one tinkle and plopped online.
• If we're not going out for dinner tonight, fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 206TH time!
• Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9-1; she's taking me to Underwood MarketPlace and I'm getting a photo with Santa!
• Shouldn't have anything happening afterwards; looking forward to spending my most important two hours of the day online, fingers crossed for some sushi for arvo tea and hopefully watching the 6pm bulletin for the 207TH time!
• Righteo, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
  Chers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 448

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2213 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Birth Of The Ancient Of Days'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'He Gave His Most Precious Possession' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Bending Low' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after PIG mum feeds me some arvo tea!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until noisy PIG mum woke me with her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs; after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep coz I knew for certain she'd get very noisy again one hour later!
• Like clockwork, PIG mum noisily going a-THUMPING back upstairs and getting 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* 
• Only around the time PIG mum lets herself into my room and hits me with the eye goo, CODA rings to say that Karina's sick and can't come! o_O
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
