Tuesday Post 453d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 3649. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I just randomly surfed the net.
• At 9pm, I walked myself 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: we're going to Sydney for Leanne's book launch!! Dad's gonna start driving really early; I'm just gonna climb into his car and keep sleeping. XD He's already found the neck pillow for me~ Just a pity my awesome sleep streak will end coz dad says we're leaving @ 4am but the Sun's not rising until 5:19am!
• Hence expect a super-pissy plodding total from me; won't be walking much toms, rather, spending like twelve hours in the car. 
• Oh, may haveta put some placeholder posts but we're only going for six days!
• Hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 453

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3162 steps (ha, I'm over three grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Prevailing Grace'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Peace Will Guard Your Mind' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Sustainer Of Blessings'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 9th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:20am and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh* 
• Usually nature calls hourly after that initial pot :P trip, but happiness was snoring soundly until dearest dad very thoughtfully walks along the door @ 7:45am and unpops the lock into the garage before waking again to relieve myself.
• After dearest dad has kissed me bye, tried to suck Pearl's six pearls, laughed when Pearl bodyslammed for the cheek, retucked me back into bed and left 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 before going back outside and awaiting Hannah's arrival @ 9am.
• For some reason, Hannah arrived late? She'd told CODA but CODA apparently forgot to pass the message on ... XD
• Still, I got my fifteen more minutes, used the pot :P for three more tinkles, got kitted, went over to the bathroom and brushed teeth, washed and dried Era and then walked 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 with a thin stream of honey each, one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly smeared with avocado and likewise lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*

•  After breakfast, I walked myself slowly and safely back 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 climbed into Hannah's tank and she tootled me off to Breathe for physio.
• Physio today: .849km bike ride, 36 bicep curls with 4kg dumbbell for each hand, 36 shoulder press with 3kg dumbbell for each hand, 36 leg curls for each leg and 36 step up on block with both hands holding rail left weight shifting.
• Hannah tootles me home afterwards and I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Hannah who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• I have one tinkle before Hannah flips the nice warm water off, get dried, get creamed and have another tinkle. When Hannah rekits me, I have one more tinkle when she's helping with Erf's sock and one last one when she's giving Wally back to Ela.
• Back outside, lunch is the delicious crackling pork salad roll PIG mum kindly went and bought for me after she attemded her pilates class and one warm mug of the yummy Taiwanese tea dad's high school friend brought for him.
• At 2pm I si sign Hannah off with my thanks and byes (she's back same time next Tuesday) , use the loo for one tinkle and then climb into the backseat of PIG mum's 4WD.
• PIG mum tootles us off to Market Square Dental for our bi-yearly teeth clean. Obviously, she gleefully forces me to buckle my own seatbelt both ways, we listen to 97.3FM both ways and today, Era helps Ela stretch for twenty minutes before Ela opens and closes her palm 100 times, holding each for a count of five. Era also helps rub Ela's fingers for like four minute.
•  Sweet we get the disabled car park just outside the dental surgery~ Seated inside we're both given clipboard with a form that needs filling out.
• When Kelvin comes for me, PIG mum accompanies me in before leaving him too it.
• Just a general clean for me; I apologised to him and the dental assistant they should they find anything inside my mouth, blame the bahn mi I had for lunch. XD Kelvin roared with laughter and later reported no traces of bahn mi. XD
• For PIG mum's turn, I just sat on a chair @ the end of the room and used my mobile! Kelvin did ask me to step outside while he took x-rays for PIG mum's mouth, though.
• After we both visited the loo once with the washing basin big enough (but not deep enough) to wash newborn babies in, we hiked down to just before Coffee Square for arvo tea; I chose somewhere called Sugar Puff that served egg waffles with pearls and ice cream! PIG mum obviously screeched 'twas too sweet and too expensive but I excused myself since she hadn't said what I wasn't allowed. XD She got herself some yucky grass jelly thing and ate most oof my yummy waffle thing, anyway!
• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle and 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.
• Grr CODA rang and said the carer meant to take me to Toastmasters tonight has called in sick and they can't find anyone else to take me, meaning I can't go tonight! ><
• But a very early start toms: dad's driving us all the way down to Sydney to attend Leanne's book launch! Expect a pissy plodding total from me, since I'll be sitting in the car all day.
• Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^ 
  P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm bulletin (Nine's) for the 22ND time: Arvier, Boulton, Dick - ugh then the connection was cut! >< Luckily, PIG mum was around and kindly turned the TV on for me; I hurried over to the sofa and watched it~

Monday Post 453d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 5024. Ha, I'm apparently just over half a normal person today? XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I played Jewel Quest for twenty-five minutes and passed another eight levels!
• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Toms: Hannah's minding me 9-1.Originally she was taking me to Breathe for physio but I grumbled to PIG mum that she was sneaky to time our trip's departure AFTER my session of physio but then arrange it so that I'm in time for my next session of physio; seriously, what kinda holiday's yet?? OMG, PIG mum actually really CANCELLED the session for me!! :D
• Will prolly just go for walkies @ Calamvale Central and buy a yummy crunchy pork salad roll for lunch from Uncle Michael and then head home for a shower before Hannah leaves @ 2pm.

• Looking forward also to getting dinner from Maccas; never mind that UnHappy Meals were what I got for dinner surely MORE THAN THREE DECADES ago!! *sigh*
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner @ 8pm, 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.
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy wombok, lotsa yummy pumpkin, like three small chunks of beef and one tiny slice of chicken.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of yucky pumpkin 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.

• Had a tuna toastie with a slice of cheese for lunch.
• Saw Aunty Anna for some massage and acupuncture.
• Annette minded me from 4-6pm. We'll both e-mail Michelle and ask her what she meant by only massaging the left arm for twenty minutes; PIG mum actually told her to STOP before going on walkies with dearest dad; we're both wondering, what's she meant to do till 6pm, then? Twiddle her thumbs? Instead, while I read, Annette made us each a mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey, yummy~
• Watched the Nine news bulletin for the 21ST time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• Unfortunately nature called and I had a lil lbl but I changed pads so hopefully PIG mum won't notice.
• Toms: Hannah's minding me 9-1 and I DON'T have physio! I groused @ PIG mum she was mean to deliberately arrange things so that I have physio just BEFORE going down to Sysney but I'm back home in time for the next session; how's that a fricking holiday, huh?? Amazingly, she CANCELLED the session toms for me!
• Presuming we'll just buy groceries @ Calamvale Central, get a crunchy pork salad roll from Uncle Michael @ the bakery and come home for a shower before having lunch.
• Kathryn's taking me to the 5th Tuesday extra Toastmasters meeting! Think she's only looked after me once before?
• Looking forward to getting some dinner from Maccas; never mind that Happy Meals were what I ate surely MORE THAN TWO DECADES ago!! *sigh*

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2963 (so will have passed three grand before Sunday ends, surely!) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'An Endless Love'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• When the parents called dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle and then climbed into the backseat of dad's 4WD.
• Dinner tonight was @ Ho Lin Wah. Unfortunately there wasn't much parking available and dad had to park beyond the fruit shop but @ least we didn't need to cross the road.
• But as expected, a two person meal for three people means I only got a bit. *sigh* Yay for the fried chicken wing, though~
• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle and returned online.

 Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for today! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2275. Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• Once the most important two hours of my day were up, I headed over to the gobbling :P table and played Jewel Quest for @ least thirty minutes whilst PIG mum snored on the couch.
• When she finally got up, she passed me one yummy banana for arvo tea plus a *tiny* slice of dad's birthday cake and now the rest's for him! Lol, the slice was less than half a mouthful, I placed it all into my gob in one go. XD
• Next was showertime - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
• After PIG mum dried my back and the back and the back of the chair for me, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until my bra strap needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
• Once I dried the toilet seat, I sat down and did another stinky unspeakable before returning online.
• Will haveta ring CODA toms and see who's minding me from 4-6pm Monday arvo; the roster still says TBA.
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,

Sunday Post 453

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2033 steps (ha, I'm just over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'How To Repent'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'What Concerns You Concerns God'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Seven Minutes Of Terror'; fifthly, the spam count for the week's actually eighteen and sixthly, the spam count for the weekend's just four. Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 7th consecutive awesome sleep last night; I've FINALLY achieved my first straight week of awesome sleeps! :D Nature didn't call until noisy PIG mum woke me with her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since I was certain she'd get very noisy again one hour later!
• Like clockwork, one hour later PIG mum goes noisily a-THUMPING back upstairs; it'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 and help me exceedingly slightly with not only the bra strap but the tee (since dearest dad's @ home; you can bet she'll not help toms) 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 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 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 climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and she tootles us off to church. I use the normal ladies loo on arrival (since the disabled loo's lid's down and horrid PIG mum wouldn't help me lift it) and then enter service, grabbing my usual spot on the most left.

• Yay I get to stay seated today. I sing everything, plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*

• Speaker today was Peter Pie, with his second sermon from his Chosen series.

• Service ended like twenty-six minutes early today; while I was waiting for PIG mum to come get me, Janice Lo wandered over and got me a little mini quiche nibble! She and Evan are still deciding which church to attend so they've been trying both but she says Quentin misses Nathan and Noah and that Tiff still needs both a morning and an afternoon nap.

• When PIG mum got me, I used the disabled loo once myself and then took a seat. PIG mum came back with a packet of those MSG crackers for me and I drank one foam cup of tea.

• Next I hiked upstairs for the EGM! Since I wasn't a voting member and Peter Pie had already told me that I could sit this one out I just tuned out and played Jewel Quest.

• The meeting was over super-quickly; dad had taken me to Hungry Jack's for an early lunch before 11:45!

• Lol originally dad said I could try the popping pearls drink but the machine wasn't working and instead I got a free ICED CHOCOLATE, score! :D

• Back home I used the loo for one more tinkle and then 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.

• Dad had better take us out for CHINESE food tonight and gimme ONE bowl of rice!

• Toms: perhaps expect expect a pissy plodding total from me? Think I'm only seeing Aunty Anna for some acupuncture and massage toms arvo; bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ her. XD

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

Saturday Post 453c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2787. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• Three minutes after I'd used up the most important two hours of my day, PIG mum summoned me over for dearest dad's birthday cake!
• Couldn't find any candles and silly dad was flipping the cake (which made PIG mum screech @ him XD and PIG mum hadn't even the time for icing but we took selfies and munched a slice each: yum!
• Shortly after 9pm I walked myself 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.
• Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. Since Aggie hasn't Whatsapped me, I'm presuming I'm not welcoming toms.
• Peter Pie says I don't haveta attend the EGM toms so I'm presuming a pissy little lunch with dad @ Hungry Jack's/Maccas and then a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum. *sigh*
• But dad had better take us out for CHINESE food for dinner and gimme AONE bowl of rice to eat!!
• Anyways, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• When the parents summoned me for dinner I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa lettuce, lotsa sweet potato, two slices of tasty beef and three small chunks oof that rather tasteless chicken I cooked yesterday with Tiff.
• Dieer was spooned down with one bowl of yucky pumpkin soup; dad also ordered I eat one slice of seedless watermelon.

Saturday Post 453

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2381 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'He Knows Your Need'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Start Your Day With God' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Pink Coat' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still FORTY-TWO MINUTES online should I get to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 20TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until noisy PIG mum woke me with her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs @ 6:20am; after one pot :P trip I immediately fall back asleep again since I know for sure that she'll get very noisy again one hour later!
• Like clockwork, one hour later @ 7:20am, noisy PIG mum's a-THUMPING upstairs and getting changed for her half-day's work's my wakeup call to use the pot :P again, after which I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh* 
• Come 7:30am, PIG mum lets herself into my room and hits me with the eye goo before bolting off for her half-day's work. Once she's gone, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After dearest dad retucks me back into bed, promises to stay quiet so Pijum and I can snore in peace and says he'll leave me some rice leftovers for lunch, Pijum and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking twice more for the pot :P before Karina announces her arrival @ 10am. Once dad's let her in, she knocks, opens the door, says good morning, hitting the snooze button for fifteen more minutes and wisely leaves when I flap one of Pijum's long ears @ her. Lol, I'm thinking he's too long to give the deaded Bear Bum. XD
• Once I've counted down my fifteen more minutes, I swing myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle and call out to Karina that I'm hungry. She comes, I return to bed, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who squirts me some toothpaste.
• Teeth brushed, I drink one full mug of water and sit over the loo proper. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast. Thanks to dearest dad who's cooked his once-weekly egg and omelette and yay that Karina can actually cook the bread crunchy over the stove with butter like Nisha can't! XD I drink my first big mug of white tea with two sugars and since the Caesar book I'm currently reading has gone AWOL, Karina found me Matthew Reilly's The Tournament and I happily read that for thirty minutes. When the alarm for fifteen minutes went off, I put both legs down from the footstool, Ela up onto the table and asked Karina please to massage her for fifteen minutes.
• When the thirty minute timer went off, I used the loo for one more tinkle while Karina turned off the aircob and checked the windows were locked. After washing and drying Era, I climbed into the passenger seat of her car, she kindly helped me with my seatbelt (like she did all day) and then tootled me off to Calamvale Central for walkies and grocery shopping, finding parking outside the bakery.
• After she grabbed a trolley for us, I bought a box of cheap facial tissues from Woolies and she got a bag of crisps and a 1.25L Coke and then I chose a egg salad sushi roll from the Sushi Guru. Maybe we got sth from the Mega Discount Fruit Market too?
• Back home, I took 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.
• I have one tinkle before Karina flips the nice warm water off, get dried, get creamed and have another tinkle. When Karina rekits me, I have one more tinkle when she's helping with Elf's AFO straps and one last when she;s giving Wally back to Ela.
• Back outside, Karina immediately reheats the delicious veggie tempura cake I forgot about yesterday, makes me another mug of white tea with two sugars, reheats lunch for me with added soya sauce and goes to clean the bathroom.
• At 1:40pm I quickly use the loo for one more tinkle and then she tootles me off to church to play ping pong with dearest dad!
• Seems like we only play three rounds today and not four? Think dad says coz our first round was actually two since we  didn't stop the first time everyone traded places.
• Back home, I used the loo for one more tinkle and then sit @ the gobbling :P table to munch my egfg salad sushi roll for arvo tea and drink one mug of yummy peppermint tea. I also read The Tournament For awhile longer, taking my total reading time to eighty minutes today. 
• Fingers crossed PIG mum'll lemme help make baba a birthday cake soon; also fingers crossed Aunty A will shout him out for dinner for his birthday tonight! But perhaps that's wishful thinking ... XD
• Toms: just church, nothing special. There's some EGM happening afterwards but Peter Pie says I don't haveta attend so I suppose it's a quick lunch out wit - bbl!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 453c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 3374. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post I played Jewel Quest for just over fifty minutes while listening to the tennis; I was on level 1706 but passed all the way up to 1734 by the time 9pm arrived!
• Once 9pm arrived, I walked myself 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: Karina's minding me 10-2; will haveta teach her how to cook the bread yummy for breakfast! Will also ask her to reheat my veggie tempura cake to eat coz I forgot to today. XD Presume we'll go for walkies @ Calamvale Central?
• Will shower with her after getting home since I don't get Saturday 4-6pm support anymore. But looking forward to my three big mugs of white tea and looking forward to reading Caesar for a good long while!
• Think dad says he'll take me to play table tennis seated toms arvo.
• But it's also his BIRTHDAY!! Dunno why he says he doesn't need cake ... lol I'm just hoping Aunty A will ring him toms and take him out for dinner toms night. XD
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 453b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 3265 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'A Witness In Heaven'. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• After finishing my most important two hours online, I continued editing my personal blog post.
• When dad summoned me over for dinner around 7:09pm, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. 
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa lettuce, some sweet potato, two/three strands of Hokkien noodles, a few small chunks of tasty beef and a few slices of the chicken I'd cooked with Tiff earlier today.
• Dinner was washed down with one mug of water; after taking the cup 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 the night, the final, final spam count for the week plus what's happening Saturday, else hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 453

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3119 steps (ha, I'm over three grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Giver Gets The Glory'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Blessed Hope'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Mercy For You And Me' and fifthly, the spam count for the week's sixteen but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-SIX MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 19TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until I was woken by the noisy garbage truck THUNDERING our road to tip 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* 
• Usually nature calls hourly after that initial pot :P trip but the next time I woke was 7:45am, the usual time dearest dad leaves for work! Since he'd not, I presumed he was taking Friday off again (last year, dad rarely worked Fridays either), used the pot :P again and happily fell back asleep. 
• The next time I'm woken for the pot :P is when noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside to await Peggy's arrival @ 9am.
• Once PIG mum let Peggy in, Peggy knocked, pushed open the door and said good morning! I waved Pijum's ear @ her. She laughs and asks fifteen more minutes? Another earwave, and Peggy wisely removes herself, even though I'm pretty sure Pijum's too big to give the Bear Bum!
• Suddenly the doorbell rings again! PIG mum answers it; that's right, today some new carer was doing a buddy shift with Peggy!
• After my fifteen more minutes, I cuddle up with Pijum and pretend I'm asleep until Peggy re-enters the room and starts pulling my blankets off. I roll over to face her, smirk and say that's not gonna work; it's hot now so I don't really care. XD
• When I swung myself over to the pot :P for three more tinkles I introduced myself to the new carer. She's chocolate-coloured, from Liberia and has five kids, ranging from 1.5 years old till sixteen!
• We get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who squirts some toothpaste for me.
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table.
• Breakfast is one yummy bowl of Plus :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 the passenger seat of Peggy's car, she kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt and then she tootles  us off to Calamvale Central for walkies, parking underground. Musu follows.
• I've forgotten did we need anything from Woolies but we definitely got stuff from the Calamvale Discount Fruit MMarket before Peggy lemme buy a tempura vegie cake for arvo tea! Only I've just remembered that I forgot to eat it. XD
• Back home, I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Musu who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, Peggy made me a tuna toastie with DOUBLE cheese and butter, plus one mug of white tea with two sugars, sweet! At 1pm I signed them off with my thanks and byes~
• Dad let Tiff inside when she got here and we did a chicken noodle stir fry together! I had some for arvo tea and thought 'twas slightly bland; PIG mum will prolly think it's too salty. XD
• Before plopping online I used the loo for one more tinkle.
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 19TH time!
• Toms: Nisha's on holidays, so it's Karina minding me from 10-2 toms! Will shower with her after getting home from walkies because I don't get Saturday 4-6pm support anymore.
• Must remember to ask dad is there any ping pong @ church toms arvo~
• Oh, and it's his BIRTHDAY toms! Wonder will we eat his birthday dinner out with him/get some friends over for his birthday dinner/absolutely nothing? Well, I suppose he'll decide~
• Anyways, hopefully bbl after dinner, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 19TH time: Bavas, Massingham, Avison, Slade (first name, heard), Greer, Wheeler, Lanning (heard), Cadee (heard), Sabalenka, Azarenka, Prideaux, Hachinov, Tsitsipas, Crisafulli, Sacchin (first name), Shetty, Raworth, Djokovich, Albanese, Galea and Arvier. 1AUD = 71.12USc.

Sunrise 5:17am Sunset 6:45pm Huh the news was only thirty minutes long tonight coz the tennis gets precedence!

Thursday Post 453d

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3074. Ha, I'm just over three grand. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I continued checking my current blog post; it's nearly ready for publication!
• When everyone suddenly started leaving @ 8:45pm, I sait wait! Getting up, I headed towards the gobbling :P then gestured to the footprints along the hallway: drivers, please leave following these footsteps. If you can't walk in a straight line, I'll just direct you to turn right @ the last door and you can sleep in that bed there; I've an upstairs bedroom to use. Luckily, everyone passed. XD
• PIG mum and dad went outside to see everyone off while I decided to use the loo for one more tinkle. Only upon sliding open the door, EEP there was an ENORMOUS COCKROACH! o_O It ran in and hid behind the toilet bowl; I quickly used the loo and returned outside, wailing to PIG mum when she came back inside that there's an enormous cockroach inside! She waited for dearest dad to return inside also before leaving him to deal with it. XD
• Toms: Peggy's minding me 9-1. Doubt PIG mum'll lemmr wander Garbo with Sparkless3 since I need to buy ingredients for cooking with Tiff toms arvo!
• Fingers crossed I can read Caesar for one hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 19TH time!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a lovely end to the week toms~
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 453c

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2935 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Never Overlooked'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• People started arriving for dinner! Eight all up: the Slams, Aunty A and Aunty Yvonne and Uncle Stephen.
• When dad summoned me for dinner I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. 
• Dinner tonight: thanks to PIG mum who microwaved me literally one mouthful of rice. I had like one chicken wing, one chicken drumstick, some vegies, some fish and not  quite one sausage.
• Since I didn't get my once-weekly HK-style milk tea this arvo, PIG mum mixed me one sachet of the HK-style milk tea powder that Pastor Grace got me!
• Once PIG mum she'd not be feeding me anymore food I used the loo for another tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely back 0nline, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. 
• Having one slice of the cake PIG mum baked this arvo; it's delicious!!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms else hope everyone has a smashing end to their week come Friday!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 453b

 Heylo again, good afternoon again and potentially one final greeting for today! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2743. Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• PIG mum ordered I showeI washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. 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.
• Once PIG mum had dried my back and the back of the chair for me, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until my bra strap needed doing up, 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 walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. 
• Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9-1; PIG mum says I can go buy cooking ingredients for this arvo.
• Tiff's coming and making a chicken noodle stirfry with me!
• Righteo, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 453

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2617 steps (ha, I'm over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Delayed Deliverances'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Help For Your Marriage' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Love That Forgives'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:00am, 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 when dadf comes to kiss me byr around 7:45am! "Dad, where are you going?" I mutter sleepily. "It's the Australia Day holiday today; surely you don't haveta work?" Dad explains he's going to Uncle Colbert's place to install sth like awnings and will come home and take me out later.
• Pijum, Pearl and I all happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9:45am 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 and help me exceedingly slightly with not only the bra strap but the tee (since dearest dad might get home @ anytime) 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. 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 Just Wrong :P (in memory of Karen the teabag :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?

See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I grab Green Sticky and then climb into the backseat of dad's 4WD; PIG mum crawls into the passenger seat and dad tootles us out to Garbo!
• After getting a disabled park on B3, we catch the elevator up. While PIG mum goes to ALDI and buys groceries for her cake making project this arvo, dad takes me to Bupa Optical and sn optometrist tights my glasses for me.
• That done, dad and I hike all the way to outside JB HI-FI and sit @ one of those huge round tables. Dad gets sushi but I tell PIG mum I'd like warm food please (actually I wanted Korean fried chicken but 'twas pointless even thinking about asking >< XD) and she came back with sizzling sweet and sour pork and a fried egg with rice, yum!
• Lunch finished, we hiked all the way back to dad's 4WD and he tootled us home. I used the loo for one more tinkle and then 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. 
• Bbl, coz I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY MINUTES online!!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• After publishing the previous post, I played Jewel Quest for twelve minutes, passing more levels.
• 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: Australia Day public holiday! I've already warned dad that should he not get PIG mum to help me up before 9:45am, I'm staying in bed ALL DAY before getting up to watch the 6pm news since I don't like hitting the sack less than twelve hours after I've been up. XD

• When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner shortly after 8pm, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy sugarloaf, lotsa some other vegetable I've since forgotten, two small delicious chunks of beef shank (PIG mum says Muscle Dan's mum recommended it during yoga class earlier this week) and one tiny leftover chunk of battered fish fillet from yesterday.
  
• Dessert was three little thin slices of some jelly (coconut? Chestnut?) jelly from dad's badminton pal and dinner was washed down with one mug of water; 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.

Ha, I'm over four grand; that doesn't happen too often! Also phew that clever PIG mum fixed the internet~ Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• When Kathryn hadn't arrived by 4:15pm I rang CODA. Michelle replied didn't you know? She's not coming till 4:30!
• Thanks to PIG mum who let Kathryn inside when she announced her arrival five minutes early, 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 Kathryn who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. While I washed myself, we chatted: she's only twenty-seven and moved into caring this year coz she was selling stuff before but didn't really enjoy it.
• I had one tinkle before Kathryn flipped the nice warm water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Kathryn rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was helping with Elf's sock and one last one when she was giving Wally back to Ela.
• Back outside, arvo tea was one yummy banana and another delicious mug of Chinese tea. Kathryn sat and massaged Ela for twenty minutes and then cleaned the bathroom. 
• At 5:55pm I used the loo for two more tinkles and then sat on the couch and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 18TH time. 

• Unsure why all the things I like recording have been pasted on the right, but hey. XD
• After watching the news, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Waiting for dearest dad to return home from swimming and microwave our rice leftovers for dinner but wow: PIG mum's already come downstairs from pigland! XD
• Righteo, hopefully bbl else hope everyone enjoys the public holiday toms!
  Cheers,

Tuesday Post 452

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2438 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Go Directly To God'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Connecting Begins With Caring' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'No Loss'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:10am when dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently along the hallway and pulled the bathroom door shut; 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 first daylight pot :P trip, but happiness was snoring soundly until dearest dad again very thoughtfully walked silently along the hallway and unpopped the lock into the garage @ 7:45am before waking again to relieve myself.

• After dearest dad kisses me bye, retucks me back into bed and leaves for his hard day's work, Pearl, Pijum and I all happily cuddle and snore for about another hour, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. When she lets herself into hit me with the eye goo, I excitedly tell her about my newest dream: I'm somehow become a DOG and am running around with nose down sniffing for sth! Too bad I awake before finding out what. XD

• After PIG mum lets Hannah inside @ 9am, Hannah knocks, pushes open the door, says "Good morning Emily; fifteen more minutes..." and wisely leaves when I flap one of Pijum's ears @ her. Like I explained when she came back, Pijum's ears are longer than his arms and thus easier to wave! XD

• When Hannah comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle and we get me kitted, before I head over to brush teeth while Hannah empties the commode. 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 three yummy Weet-Bix with a thin stream of honey along each (Hannah says I'm nearly outta honey), one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with avocado and equally lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*

• After breakfast, I walk myself 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 clamber into Tank and Hannah drives us off to Breathe. Since we arrive early, we get to play with our mobiles until it's time to head in.

• Physio with Eric today: 2.041km bike ride, 36 shoulder press per hand with 3kg dumbbell, 36 bicep curls per hand with 3kg dumbbell, 36 steps for Erf with left weight shifting while both hands held onto the bar and boxing! Connor was funny: when I stood up to leave, he immediately got up too, but when I asked him are you gonna walk me out today Connor? He suddenly decided nah and just flopped back down onto the ground. XD

• Next Hannah tootled us off to Calamvale Central, taking a pram park since all the disabled ones were already gone. Pity she won't ever get a trolley for us, but luckily today PIG mum only wanted pears and bananas/avocados from the Calamvale Mega Discount Fruit Market meaning we didn't haveta head into Woolies.

• Our last stop before leaving was the bakery for my bahn mi; when I saw Uncle Michael I immediate bid him happy CNY and he replied with like a perfect accent Gong Hei Fat Choi! Hannah bought the same crackling pork bahn mi, only she wanted chilli.

• Back home, I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Hannah who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. I also sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song softly, slowly but most hatefully out aloud. Actually, I was already done after just 4%, but happily leaned fully against the right side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling Hannah back.

• After I flipped the nice warm water off, I got dried, had another tinkle when Hannah went outside and asked PIG mum where the moisturiser was and then got creamed.

• When Hannah 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, lunch was my delicious crackling pork salad roll plus one mug of delicious Chinese tea. Hannah cleaned the bathroom and then sat down to eat her own bahn mi; she's back same time next week. 

• After I signed her off with my thanks and byes @ 2pm, I finished my yummy bahn mi, used the loo for one tinkle and plopped online.

• Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day, I'll head over to the gobbling :P table, ask PIG mum for some arvo tea and then read Caesar until 5:30pm, when Annette comes to take me to the first Toastmasters for 2023! :looking forward to getting some dinner from Maccas afterwards; never mind that Happy Meals were what I ate like THREE DECADES ago!! *sigh*

• Toms: seeing Ray for some acupuncture and massage sometime in the morning; bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD

• Hopefully she'll take me out grocery shopping and aisle walking afterwards else I don't see how I'm gonna crack 1000 steps.

• Roster says carer coming toms 4-6 pm's still TBA; when PIG mum comes down from her arvo nap I'll ask her should I call CODA today/toms.

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

• After publishing the previous post, I continued reading and sharing my Facebook memories.

• When the parents summoned me over for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy wombok, lotsa dearest dad's home-grown melon, one chunk oof yummy battered fish and three/four little DUMPLINGS; dad says it's tradition for people in northern China to eat dumplings for CNY!
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking my 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.
