Friday Post 473

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2835 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Powerful Root Of Practical Life'; thirdly, TWFT topic's Getting Real; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Parting Words'; fifthly, the actual spam count for the weekend's actually just nine and sixthly, the spam count for the weekend's eleven. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like the past two days, nature called @ 6:40am and after one pot :P trip I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • When dad doesn't come kiss me bye before leaving for work @ 7:45am, I use the pot :P once again, remember he's only working Monday till Thursday now and return to happy snorings with Pearl.
  • The next time I use the pot :P, it's 8:55am and I've been woken by noisy PIG mum's 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 arrives, she knocks the door, pushes open the door and calls out melodically, "Good morning ..." When I nod Pearl @ her, Peggy laughs and asks us fifteen more minutes? Another nod from Pearl and she wisely removes herself, even though Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum. XD
  • When Peggy comes back, I use the pot :P once more for @ least three tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who's squirted 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 with Peggy.
  • Breakfast is one bowl of plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with avocado and equally lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • After breakfast, I sit once more over the loo. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
  • After washing and drying Era, I climb into Peggy's passenger seat. Thanks muchly to her who kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt all day, before she tootles me off to UQ for physio.
  • At the therapies building I hike the length of the floor and use the other disabled toilet located @ the end since the first one's already occupied.
  • Physio today: Eighty sit-to-stands with left and forward weightshift,  bending to floor ten times to place items into basket,  stepping for Erf and several laps walking around the clinic.
  • After sitting over the loo for two more tinkles, Peggy tootles me home  and I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helps me rinse outt my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • I had one tinkle before Peggy flipped thee nice hot water off, goot 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 when I was drying inside the ears with a tissue.
  • Back outside, Peggy makes me a yummy tuna in tomato and onion with TWO slices of cheese and HEAVILY buttered on one side plus one big mug of Chinese tea.
  • At 1:55pm I sit over the loo for two more tinkles and then sign her off with my thanks and byes. She's back same time next Friday.
  • After I've used up the most important two hours of my day, I'll use the loo for one tinkle and then head down to the gobbling :P table to read for one hour. Hopefully PIG mum'll feed me some arvo tea~
  • Fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 99TH time!
  • Toms: Nisha's minding me from 10-2. Looking forward to my once-weekly sleep-in, my three big mugs of white tea with two sugars and the chance to read for three blessed hours!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

  • After publishing the previous post, I found, updated and sent my eresume to Beacon Support. Fingers crossed they can help me find seated, properly-paid work!
  • At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • Tonight's ice cream night, yay; like I say every week, a very little's better than none @ all!
  • Toms: Peggy's minding me from 8am till 2pm, taking me to the NAB for two hours physio and seeing me home, shoowered and fed with lunch before leaving.
  • Tiff's coming @ 2:30pm and we're cooking some kinda chicken stir-fry together! I'll have one bowl for arvo tea and dad can have the rest for dinner~ Also hope I can read for one hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 99TH time!

Thursday Post 473b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total  for Thursday now stands @ 3322 but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-THREE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 98TH time!! Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

  • Karina finds the side park closest to the library, I use the disabled loo for one tinkle and then I grab the Colleen MacCullough book I've started before and reread again but this time Karina recorded the page number for me so I know where to start from should the book be available next fortnight!
  • After I read for one hour, I posted an update onto Facebook, used the disabled loo for another tinkle and then we started shopping @ The Reject Shop before continuing @  Woolies.
  • Our next stop was New York Baguette for my sausage bun and my custard bun before we finished grocery shopping @ Coles.
  • Since it's still early we sit on the bench outside the Fruit Kingdom and  play with our mobiles for like thirty minutes.
  • Aww, isn't Karina a sweetheart? Since she parked closest to the library I'd have the longest walk back to her car after we bought groceries from Coles but she moved her car back closer for me after she went too find the groceries! Definitely not telling PIG mum that coz goodness knows she'd ban Karina from doing that again. XD
  • Still, we arrived early outside Ho Lin Wah; I messaged them and then we sat inside Karina's car until Grace messaged me that they're inside.
  • 'Twas really good to catchup with them! I had the A Meal (chicken and seasonal vegetables with rice) and a cold HK-style milk tea coffee. Over lunch we just caught up; I'm just embarrassed that I'm still such boring company that they left after only forty-0five minutes! XD
  • Back home, I took a nice hot 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 had one tinkle before Karina flipped the nice hot water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Karina 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, I booted the computer up while Karina went back and cleaned the bathroom before sitting down and very lightly massaging Ela for about thirty minutes.
  • At 3:30pm I headed over to the gobbling :P table and signed Karina off with my thanks and byes. She's back same time next Thursday.
  • Dad was outside in the garden doing sth; unsure what PIG mum was doing but I thought I'd she'd come downstairs and gimme some arvo tea, hence why I started playing Jewel Quest.
  • But when PIG mum still hadn't come downstairs ONE HOUR later, I called out and asked dad could I please have arvo tea?
  • I thought after PIG mum's retirement I'd FINALLY get the entire sausage bun but no, dad nabbed half! Although he did gimme half a seedy (five slices; one seed inside each slice) and one cup of white tea without sugar.
  • Before returning online I did another stinky unspeakable and after the news finished I sat over the loo for one tinkle.
  • Toms: Peggy's minding me from 8-2; presuming I have NAB physio from 10am till midday?
  • She'll see me home and showered and after she leaves Tiff's coming and we're cooking sth together!
  • Fingers crossed I can read for one hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 99TH time!
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!

    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Thursday Post 473

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2968 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Enduring When Obeying Hurts'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Who Can You Count On?' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Gospel In Unexpected Places' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after PIG mum feeds me some arvo tea!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yeah, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:40am, and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since Karina was arriving @ 7:30am!
  • Instead, about 7:25 the phone awakened me for another pot :P trip; I bet that was CODA ringing to say Karina was coming late, used the poot :P again and 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*
  • Karina ended up arriving fifteen minutes  late; lol, by that time I'd already fallen back asleep! Still, I awoke once she knocked on the door; after she entered, said good morning to both Pearl and me, she added 'hitting the snooze button for fifteen more minutes', Pearl nodded @ her and she wisely removed herself, even  though Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum. XD
  • When Karina came back, I used the pot :P once more for three tinkles, we got me kitted and I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who squirts me some toothpaste.
  • Teeth brushed, I use the loo once more for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and head out to the gobbling :P table.
  • Breakfast is one bowl of Weet-Bix porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) bread, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug oof water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • After breakfast, I sit once more over the loo. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
  • After washing and drying Era, I climb into Karina's passenger seat, she kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt (as she does all day) and then tootles me off to Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown for my fortnightly shopping trip!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 6360. Anyways, we drank PIG mum's black sesame dessert soup (which wasn't sweet enough) and munched two glutinous dumplings each (which made me get 'wai tong' (say that in Canto); is that like 'bloated' in English?

Looking forward to my fortnightly shopping trip with Karina toms; we might even have lunch with Reverend Chris and Pastor Grace!

Hope everyone's having a smashing week!

Cheers,

Em. ^^

 Good evening from the Slams residence! Em's new plodding total for Wednesday now stands at 5704. Anyways,  continuing today's events?

- P.S. Am using mobile now; blame all mistakes on auto correct. XD 

-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 Weet-Bix porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) bread,  all my usual drugs:p and one full mug of water.  Over breakfast,  I continue the second part of my chat to Percy the saint/angel. 

- 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. 

-After washing and drying Era,  I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's 4WD and buckle my own seatbelt. She tootles us down to Warrigal Square and I hike the length of Woolies and back buying groceries with her. 

-Back home,  I use the loo for one tinkle and walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling table,  always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 

-Lunch was one tuna in tomato and onion toastie with one slice of cheese and one delicious mug of Chinese tea. 

- Ornella comes to take me to play table tennis; I have not seen her since last year!

-Uncle James comes too (he tells me he has every Wednesday off) and teaches me how to play better ~

-Best of all,  there's cake! I have one little chunk of caramel cake and one little chunk of chocolate cake.  She, Don tell Dr Lee but the caramel one tastes better.  XD 

- We got stuck in traffic coming back home,  hence why I showered half-fast. Still,  PIG mum immediately shooed ornella away at 6pm, meaning getting myself rekitted was much more difficult.  *sigh *

-I popped online until dad summoned me over for dinner at 7.

Rice tonight,  lots yummy cauliflower and two chunks of salty chicken.  The parents went bonkers at each other over dinner? Well,  mainly mother at poor d

-Aad.

-But now we have come to the Slams ' residence! Not sure why but I have my mobile to play with,  so hey. XD I started online at 7:55pm - eep I forgot to publish the previous post when I was at the computer! Will do that when I get home but they will be out of order, oh well!

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

-Originally PIG mum told us to have lunch at  Ho Lin Wah but today pastor Grace suddenly contacted me this afternoon and asked was I free tomorrow?

-No plans after she leaves so fingers crossed that I can watch the 6pm news bulletin!

-Anyway,  hopefully bbl when I get home else hope everyone's having a smashing week!

Cheers, 

Em.^^

 Good evening again! Em's new plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 5384. Anyways, continuing today's events?


Wednesday Post 473

 Good evening! Firstly, my final, final plodding total from Tuesday's actually 3353 (aww, how come I couldn't have plodded twenty fewer steps? 3333 would've looked cooler!! XD); secondly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's  ;thirdly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 5240 steps (ha, I'm more than half a normal person today XD); fourthly, TWFT topic's  ; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's  and sixthly, Joni's devotional topic's  but seventhly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and  THIRTY MINUTES online after we get back from Uncle Slam's place!! Anyways, let's start off with last night's events first!

  • Oh, and John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'A Hiding Place For The Helpless'
  • When Rebecca arrived @ 5:30pm, Sparkless3 was transferred to her car boot, I climbed into her car and she tootled us off to Toastmasters! Not only did we have a smooth run along the highway, we also got the free parking~
  • Only there was another tiny turnout: five people. But Rebecca successfully petitioned to have our changeover function delayed until the 4th Tuesday of July so she's happy!
  • Afterwards, I got my pissy little UnHappy Meal for Maccas and Rebecca tootled me home. Repeat the usual nightly events and zzz~
  • Today: yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:40am and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since I knew dearest dad would get ready to leave for work less than one hour later!
  • Sure enough, I'm woken for another pot :P trip when dearest dad very thoughtfully silently walks along the hallway and unpops the  lock into the garage. After another pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • After dearest dad's kissed me good bye, retucked  me back into bed, pretended to suck Pearl's SEVEN pearls, laughed when Pearl body slammed him for the cheek and left for his hard day's work, Pearl, Pijum and I all cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my bedroom to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap and tee before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

  • After I'd used up the most important two hours of my day online, I got off the computer and headed toeards the gobbling :P table.

Tuesday Post 473

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2930 steps (so will surely have cracked three grand before the night's out XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Fear That Draws Us In'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Sharing Our Lives' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Heaping Coals On Enemies'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Grr, I'd just began an awesome sleep streak (four nights) when idiot nature called around 2am and ruined it! ><M Nah, I'm not complaining; 'twas still a sound sleep~
  • When nature called again shortly after sunrise, 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*
  • I next woke for another pot :P trip when dearest dad came to kiss me goodbye before leaving for his hard day's work. He also pretended to suck Pearl's SEVEN pearls, laughed his head off when Pearl body slammed him for the cheek and retucked me back into bed before leaving.
  • After fsf had gone, Pearl, Pijum and I all cuddled and snored for about another hour, 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 Lena's arrival.
  • Once PIG mum lets Lena in, Lena knocks, opens the door and bids me good morning. When I flap one of Pijum's ears @ her, she laughs and asks us, fifteen more minutes? Another ear flap, and she wisely leaves. Phew, because Pijum's anatoomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum. XD
  • When Lena comes back, I use the loo for @ least three more tinkles, we get me kitted and I head over to brush teeth, before sitting for one tinkle over the loo.
  • After washing and drying Era, Lena walks with me out to the gobbling :P table.
  • Breakfast is half a bowl of plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely to the loo, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. Lena was coming with me, except for horrid PIG mum who called Lena back coz she wanted to yap @ her. Fine with me, I got to trail Era along the wall~
  • Sitting over the loo, 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 Lena's passenger seat. Thanks to her who helps me with my seatbelt (as she does all day) before she tootles me off to Breathe for physio.
  • Today I have physio with one of the two UQ students! Physio today: 1.925km bike ride,  thirty shoulder press per arm with 4kg , 36 leg curls per foot and 24 sit to stand with punching boxing ball!
  • Afterwards Lina tootled us back to Pinelands Coles and got a shopping trolley for us.
  • Since Lena had brought lunch from home today, I only got a boxz of cheap facial tissues before I got my once-weekly bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse. Saw Aunty Nancy, even though she wasn't the lady that served us.
  • Back home, I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Lena who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • I had one tinkle before Nisha flipped the nice hot water off, got dried, got creamed and got rekitted, only having one tinkle when Lena was giving Wally back to Ela.
  • Back outside, lunch was my delicious crackling pork salad roll; thanks to Lena who also made me one big mug of white tea with two sugars!
  • Mother eventually tumbled downstairs and yapped @ Lena. When I asked Lena to please walk behind me to the loo @ 1:55pm, PIG mum immediately denied that and sent me to the loo myself while she continued to yap @ Lena. Fine by me: Era trailed the wall while I walked.
  • Lena actually left two minutes early, although I'm unsure was it coz she got PIG mum to sign her off early/PIG mum signed her off early and shooed her away. She's back same time next Tuesday and I'd better be the one to sign her off!
  • After washing and drying Era, I walk 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.
  • Once I've enjoyed my most important two hours of the day online, I'll head over to the gobbling :P table, ask PIG mum for some arvo tea and read that former president's novel for one hour.
  • Most excitingly, Rebecca's taking me to Toastmasters tonight! Looking forward to bringing some dinner back from Maccas, never mind that UnHappy Meals were what I had surely MORE THAN THREE DECADES ago!! *sigh*
  • Toms: PIG mum says she'll help me up and take me for walkies somewhere~
  • Some Staffing Options person will take me to para table tennis before seeing me home and showered.
  • Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 98TH time!
  • Anyways, maybe bbl but if not, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2973. Aww, not quite three grand; another day, perhaps. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post I e-mailed Uncle Ching and Sylvia jie jie to pass on my condolences for Ginger's passing.
  • 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: Lena's minding me from 9-2 and taking me to Breathe for physio. 
  • Presuming we'll buy groceries afterwards froom Coles Pinelands; fingers crossed she'lll lemme buy a crunchy pork salad roll for lunch from the Pinelands Bakehouse!
  • Looking forward to spending my most important two hours online of the day and then reading for one hour before Rebecca comes and takes me to Toastmasters! Usually June's final meeting's our changeover function @ the pub but Neil has decide to postpone that till the first meeting (ie 2nd Tuesday) in July only Rebecca's away camping then so she'll try asking can we postpone the pub meeting until the 4th Tuesday in July!

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2551 (ha, I'm justt over 2.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Meticulous Worship'. Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

  • After I'd used up the most important two hours of the day, I got offline. Knowing that PIG mum wouldn't gimme any arvo tea since I was gonna have a drink with Yu Lam soon, I headed to the kitchen cabinet and grabbed myself twi mini Oreos. That made me hungry so next I chugged a mouthful of milk from the carton. XD Luckily PIG mum didn't catch me directly in the act! XD
  • Before leaving for arvo tea, I satt over the loo for two more tinkles. When Yu Lam and Peter Pie arrived, I climbed into the backseat and Peter Pie tootled us off to Heretea; it's just outside Sunnybank Plaza!
  • There were only wooden benches to sit on, but luckily each came with a padded cushion hence why my butt's not complaining. XD
  • OMG, HK-style milk tea with pearl!! Sure, 'twas the powdered kind, but still!!
  • We chatted till nearly 6pm before Peter Pie tootled me home.
  • I lifted the loo lid, sat for one tinkle, washed and dried Era 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.
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Monday Post 473

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1566 steps (ha, I'm just over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Death Trap Called Covetousness; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Integrity (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Easy Money'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:45am 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*Then I wondered how come dad hadn't come to kiss me bye before leaving for work yet; since PIG mum's home his holiday was over, wasn't it?
  • Actually dad didn't come to kiss me bye, pretend to suck Pearl's SEVEN pearls, laugh when Pearl body slammed him for the cheek, retucked me back into bed and leave for his hard day's work until 8am. After he'd gone, Pearl, Pijum and I happily cuddled and snored, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's come to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Rebecca's arrival @ 9am.
  • Once PIG mum lets Rebecca inside, she knocks, pushes open the door and says good morning? When I nod Pearl in greeting to her, Rebecca laughs and adds fifteen more minutes? Another nod and she thankfully leaves; phew, since Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum. XD
  • When Rebecca caqme back, I used the pot  :P once more for three tinkles, we got me kitted and then I headed over to the bathroom to brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and head out to the gobbling :P table.
  • *sigh* Last night, I immediately got far less help with the shower and this morning, I immediately got far less breakfast: no slice of toast spread with avocado and sprinkled with salt and no mug of Milo. Just some plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) bread ripped into the bowl, 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 Rebecca's big car, she kindly helps  me with my seatbelt both ways and then tootles me off to Unique Physio to see Aunty Anna for some massage and acupuncture. We arrive so early (dad's orders) that I have like twenty minutes to play Jewel Quest while Rebecca goes inside first and finds the bathroom.
  • Today Aunty Anna not only gave me acupuncture and massage but cupping; thanks to Rebecca who took a photo for me since PIG mum NEVER would! 
  • Back home, I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Rebecca who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • I had one tinkle before Rebecca flipped the nice hot water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When she 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, Rebecca made a yummy tuna toastie with one slice of cheese and one mug of delicious Chinese tea that PIG mum said was from Iris jie jie! I immediately thanked her through Messenger about it but she replied uh I  didn't give you any tea ... I asked PIG mum again and she goes oops maybe it was cousin Karry?? Just in case it's not, I haven't thanked her yet. XD
  • Once Rebecca finished her pasta lunch she very gently (so gently that Ela didn't feel anything) massaged Ela while I kept munching the toastie.
  • At 1:55pm I used the loo once more for two tinkles and signed Rebecca off with my thanks and byes. She's back toms night and taking me to Toastmasters!
  • Me, I'm just excited  that Yu Lam's taking me somewhere for arvo tea @ 4:30pm; she's found a place that apparently sells HK-style milk tea with PEARL!! If she's fair dinkum, tthat'll prolly be the 2nd story for my XMas Greetings this year!
  • Fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 98TH time!
  • Toms: Lena's minding me from 9am till 2pm and taking me to Breathe for physio with Jacky before hopefully Pinelands Plaza to buy groceries from Coles and my once-weekly bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehoouse.
  • Looking forward to spending my most important two hours of the day online and then reading for one hour before Rebecca takes me to Toastmasters toms night! Also looking forward to getting some dinner back from Maccas; never mind that UnHappy Meals were what I ate surely MORE THAN THREE DECADES ago!! *sigh*
  • Anyways, hoopefully bbl tonight else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 One final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding tiotal for Sunday now stands @ 3684. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post, I read fanfiction!
  • 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.
  • Will ring Aunty Lai @ 9:35pm before Facebook videochatting with Aunty Nga around 9:45pm. 
  • Toms: Rebecca's minding me from 9am till 1pm and taking me to see Aunty Anna for some acupuncture and massage. Dad will doubtless demand we leave early; I don't mind: planning to play Jewel Quest until five minutes before my appointment time before going in. XD
  • Perhaps we'll  buy groceries afterwards?
  • But excitement: after Rebecca leaves and I spend my most important two hours of the day online, Yu Lam's coming @ 4pm and taking me somewhere to try a HK-style milk tea with PEARL!! I can't wait; it'll prolly be the second story in my XMas Greeting!\
  • Fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news for the 98TH time!
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
    P.S. Tee hee, I've managed FIVE posts today; thgat doesn't usually happen Sundays! XD

Sunday Post 473d

 A penultimate greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2565 (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Serve The Lord With Gladness'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

  • When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner @ 7:33pm, I used the loo foor 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 yummy cauliflower, some halibut, several wee slices of tasty pork, and about 1/4 chunk of crumbed fish with a little mayo that I obviously saved for last. Over dinner, dad randomly had a go @ me for not having any time management? I'm not fussed; I'll leave for Vincent the physio's place to see Aunty Anna when he wants; after arriving early I'll just sit inside Rebecca's car until five minutes till the appointment. XD
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink, I walk 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 today, the final, final events for tonight, the final, final spam count for the weekend and what's happening toms, else wishing everyone a smashing  week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Sunday Post 473c

 Good evening again! Em's new plodding total for Sunday now  stands @ 2411. XD Should have cracked 2.5 grand before the night's out. XD Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

  • After dearest dad arrived home, he asked me had I eaten arvo tea yet? I tried replying no, PIG mum's still upstairs sleeping? Then dad fed me half a deliciously juicy pear, three Jatz crackers and one mug of peppermint tea!
  • When PIG mum eventually tumbled down from pigland, dad and I were both poking @ oour  mobiles. She ordered me to go off and shower.
  • So a nice hoot shower for me - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was done only after 12% but happily leant fully against the right 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 me, I did everything else until Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
  • Once I dried the toilet seat, I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped both feet dry, washed and dried Era 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.
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl after dinner, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for today! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total  for Sunday now stands @ 2146 (ha, I'm over two grand XD) and secondly, the potential final, final spam count for the weekend's now's actually just five. Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

  • Once I'd used up the most important two hours of my day, I headed over to the gobbling :P table table and calling upstairs to PIG mum could she please feed me some arvo tea? I'm gonna read for one hour.
  • Got no response from mother but I read for  one hour anyway, reaching pg. 100 @ 3:41pm and then reaching  pg. 111 @ 3:59pm.
  • PIG mum either ignores me/slept right through my calling; I ended up looking through the pantry, finding a box of mini Oreos, opening the packet and selecting myself five. I also poured myself one  mug of milk.
  • Before returning online I used the loo for one more tinkle.
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl  tonight, else hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!

Sunday Post 473

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1854 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'I Can Be Content In Every Circumstance; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Integrity (1); fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Remembering The Sacrifice' and fifthly, the spam count for the weekend's only five. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like the past two days, nature didn't call until 6:45am 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*
  • Around 7:15pm dearest dad kisses me good morning, gives me some eye goo and leaves the crop top on my bed. Once he gooes back outside, I immediately put it on before giving myself fifteen more minutes vefore pulling my jumper on too. Obviously once I pulled the crop  top on the tee would immediately follow!
  • Dad returns to help with Elf's AFO straps and both laces.
  • I head over to the bathroom too brush teeth before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • Breakfast is some Weet-Bix porridge, one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with avocado and very lightly sprinkled with salt, nearly one full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and like 1/4 cup of Milo. 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 climb into the passenger seat of dad's 4WD and he tootles us off to church. We receive some sad news from Uncle Ching on arrival: grandpa Finger has passed away. :o(
  • I use the loo for one tinkle and then grab my usual spot for service. Dad heads upstairs for  CM.
  • Yay, I get to stay seated for worship again today~ I sing everything, plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
  • Speaker today was Peter Pie, who gave the second sermon from the series about Nehemiah that he started last week and there was communion afterwards.
  • Once service ended, I used the disabled loo for one more tinkle and then dad tootled us off to the airport to pick PIG mum up! Before I climbed into the passenger seat I gave dad a great big hug to say thanks for looking after me~
  • While dad drove us to the airport, I held his mobile and relayed Whatsapp messages for them. ~
  • When PIG mum appeared I immediately gave her a big hug and asked her to sit beside me for the ride home; when she did, Era held hands with her all the way~
  • Dad dropped us home then went back down to the Warrigal Square Maccas to buy us lunch. A medium Big Mac meal for him and a pissy little Unhappy Meal for me.
  • After lunch I used the loo for one tinkle and then 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.
  • Toms: Rebecca's minding me from 9-1 but what I'm really excited about's that @ 4:30pm, Yu Lam's taking me somewhere where you can get HK-style milk tea with PEARL!!! This will prolly be my second story in my XMas Greetings!!
  • Fingers crossed I can  watch the 6pm news bulletin foor the 98TH time!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!

Saturday Post 473c

 Good evening again and one final good evening for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 5186. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post, I chatted with Effie. Bagged her out for losing this year's Origin series. XD
  • At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo  for one tinkle and back, again and always  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. Actually, dad recently stuck some cardboard barrier beside the railing of the loo and when I turned around I scratched Era's pinky? There was the tiniest spot of blood; dearest dad dabbed some tea tree oil and wrapped a bandaid around the finger for me. He's very gentle!
  • Toms: just church, nothing special. Oh, the special thing's that afterwards, dad and I are picking up mother from the airport! Shame my twenty-three day help with the hairwash streak will end and I'll get much less help with personal care, butt hey. XD
  • Righteo, loooking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 473b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 5108 (ha, I'm more than half a normal person today XD) and secondly, Joni's  devotional topic's 'The Real Quality Of Your Faith' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FOUR MINUTES online after I visit the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

  • Afterwards, Pearl, Pijum and I cuddle and have an INCREDIBLE snore, coz I don't wake again for the pot :P until dearest dad silently and very thoughtfully walks down the hallway and unpops the lock into the front door for Nisha's impending arrival!
  • Once Nisha arrives, she just opens the door and says fifteen more minutes? zEvery week I forget to tell her she's meant to say good morning first. XD
  • Once I've counted down fifteen more minutes, I swing myself over to the pot :P once more for one more tinkle and announce to Nisha that I'm hungry. She comes, we get me kitted and I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth. After drinking one cup of water, I sit over the loo proper. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
  • After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast. Thanks to dearest dad who's cooked his once-weekly ham and eggs and thanks to Nisha who actually managed to cook the bread kinda yummy and add one slice of cheese for me. I enjoy my first big mug of tea white and two while reading the paper I'd bought two days ago following Queensland's Origin One win while Nisha very gently massages Ela since I asked her please to.
  • While Nisha closes and locks windows, I use the loo for one more tinkle, wash and dry Era, climb into her car's passenger seat and buckle my own seatbelt. Nisha tootles us off to Calamvale Central, parks underground and grabs a trolley for us.
  • Don't think we needed anything from the Mega Discount Fruit Market this morning but we ducked into Woolies to buy milk and a box of cheap facial tissues.
  • At Sushi Hub I see a veggie tempura inari that looks delicious but it's covered with chilli flakes over the top. I stand in line; when it's my turn I asked the girl can she please make one for me minus the chilli? She nods, flaps her hand @ the sofa bench behind the sushi cabinets and says sit down; I'll call you when it's done.
  • Once Nisha collects the vegie tempura inari, we head back down to her car and she tootles me home.
  • A nice hot shower for me after I get home - hairwash today. Also thanks to Nisha who rinses out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted Nisha made me another mug of tea, reheated lunch with addrd oyster sauce and cleaned the bathroom. Over lunch I continued reading the paper.
  • I used the loo for two more tinkles before Nisha tootled me off to play table tennis with dearest dad.
  • Clever dad had set up a container beside me that he fillled with balls so I could practise my serve~ I also visited the loo twice more coz  Nisha had made me two more  big mugs of white tea with two sugars.
  • Back home I used the loo again and then enjoyed my delicious inari with veggie tempura topping plus one mug of peppermint tea for arvo tea. Also finished reading the paper but have left the crossword page to fill out another day.
  • Aww for our final night together before PIG mum comes back, dad took me for dinner @  Ho Lin Wah. I only got  barely one bowl of rice, barely one bowl of ho fan, one cup of Chinese tea and half the hot HK-style milk tea, but hey.
  • Back home I used the loo for one more tinkle and then returned online.
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl after one more tinkle with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's  happening Sunday else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

(2) and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'He Makes Us New but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-THREE MINUTESonline after getting back home from dinner tonight!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:45am 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.

  • Shortly after that, dearest dad comes to kiss me good morning, gimme some eye goo, pretend to suck Pearl's SEVEN pearls, laugh when Pearl body slammed him for the cheek, said he'd leave me some rice leftovers for Nisha to reheat as lunch for me, retuck me into bed and promise to stay quiet so we can snore in peace. After dad exits and shuts the bedroom door, before returning to happy snorings with Pearl, , 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*

Friday Post 473c

 One final good evening  and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 3942. Aww, not quite four grand, sorry. Another night, perhaps? XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post, I happily played Jewel Quest for forty minutes~ I left Nine's Friday night footy on, though, in case dad wandered over. XD
  • Once the halftime siren sounded, I walked myself slowly and safely to the looo for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. Usually I don't go until 9pm and 'twas only 8:55pm, but I was busting!! XD Unfortunately I think I had a lil lbl but hopefully dad won't realise. XD
  • Toms: Nisha's minding me from 10am-2pm; I'm looking forward to sleeping-in with Pijum! Dr. Peggy sewed  him back together while I was eating lunch. XD
  • Will shower wish Nisha after getting home since I don't get Saturday 4-6pm anymore.
  • Looking forward to playing ping pong with dearest dad @ church from 2-4pm.Hope dad remembers his promise to take us out for one final dinner toms night since PIG mum's coming home Sunday morning and dad's already said she'll be too tired to eat out Sunday night? Suppose she needs a holiday from her  holiday. XD
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Friday Post 473b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @3842 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'My Little Prayers'. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

  • When dad summoned me over for dinner, 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 little bok choy, two/three small slices of tasteless soup beef, one small chunk of boiled salmon and  one wee (1/5 a slice, roughly) chunk of crumbed fish dabbed with a little whole egg mayo.
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the gobbling :P table 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 just after 9pm following one last loo trip with my final, final plodding total  for today, the final, final events for tonight, the final, final spam count for the week plus what's happening toms, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Friday Post 473

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3421 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'How We Must Fight For Holiness'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'What Are Your Values? (1); fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Mighty Power" and fifthly, the spam count for the week's thirteen but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed NINETEEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 97TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • lol, has it really been five days since my last great sleep? Nature didn't call until 6:45am and after one pot :P trip I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • Nature usually calls hourly after that first daylight pot :P trip, but happiness was snoring soundly until dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently along the hallway and unpopped the lock on the front door for Peggy's impending arrival @ 9am.
  • Once dearest dad let Peggy inside, she knocked, pushed the door open and said fifteen more minutes? Pearl was rather miffed that she hadn't said good morning first but since he's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum, I just nodded him @ her and Peggy wisely removed herself. XD
  • When Peggy came back, I used the pot :P for @ least three more tinkles, we goot me kitted and I headed  over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who squirted some toothpaste for me.
  • Teeth brushed, I sat over the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era and 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 some Weet-Bix porridge, one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread with avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt, one full mug of water and another mug of coffee. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • After breakfast, I sit once more over the loo. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
  • After washing and drying Era, I climb into Peggy's passenger seat. She kindly helps me with my seatbelt and then tootles me off to the NAB. We arrive early enough that I get to play Jewel Quest for ten minutes before going up. XD
  • I use the loo once for two tinkles before entering the NAB. Actually, the student meets us along the hallway and Peggy says bye there.
  • Physio today: Eighty sit-to-stands with left and forward weightshift, stepping for Erf and ten laps hiked around front of clinic bending down to floor to pick-up flat cones for Era.
  • Afterwards, I sat over the loo for two tinkles before Peggy drove me home (thanks to her who kindly helped me with my seatbelt again) and I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • I had one tinkle before Peggy flipped the nice hot 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 one when she was giving Wally back to Ela.
  • For lunch back outside, Peggy made me a tuna toastie with TWO slices of cheese and HEAVILY buttered on one side! I kept that side facedown to prevent dad from seeing. XD
  • While Peggy gave Pijum more brain and abdomen surgery, I happily continued playing Jewel Quest and used the loo once more for two tinkles before signing her off with my thanks and byes. She's back again same time next Friday.
  • Shortly after Peggy left, Tiff arrived to give Ela one hour of unfunctunional hand exercises. Go me: I'm usually useless @ noticing physical changes in people but today I noticed that Tiff now wears glasses! She told me, yes, she's got astigmatism.
  • Next Friday, we're cooking creamy chicken udon together! My Chopping Board Of Death looks forward to seeing some action. XD
  • Tiff walked behind me to the gobbling :P table before leaving. I settled down to read the first book  I'd selected from the Lifeline Bookfest for one hour, reaching page seventy-five @ 3:29. Dad fed me that adorable little swelling (say 'joong' in Canto) that Aggie's mum made plus one mug of yummy peppermint tea for arvo tea.
  • That finished, I used the loo for one tinkle before walking myself slowly and safely online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • Toms: Nisha's minding me from 10-2; suppose dad'll send us for walkies  @ Calamvale Central to buy a box of cheap facial tissues and my arvo tea sushi roll.
  • Pretty sure we'll play table tennis @ church from 2-4.
  • Hopefully Yu Lam will take me somewhere to try that HK-style milk tea with PEARL!
  • And didn't dad say we'd have dinner out together tonight since we'll not Sunday night coz PIG mum needs sleep?
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl after dinner, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

  • After publishing the previous post, I read The Mighty articles and listened to YouTube clips.
  • At 9pm, I walked myself slowly and safely once more to the loo for one tinkle and back, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • Toms: Peggy's helping me up and then taking me to the NAB for two hours. Wonder if I'll get to hike the Great Court again?

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday nopw stands @ 5368 (ha, I'm more than half a normal person today XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Unceasing Undercurrewnt Of Gratitude' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after I visit the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways

  • We get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who squirted some toothpaste for me.
  • Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and head out to the gobbling :P table.
    Breakfast is one bowl oof Weet-Bix porridge plus one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread with avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P  and one watery mug of Milo. 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*

See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
  • After washing and drying Era, I climb into Karina's passenger seat. She kindly helps me with my  seatbelt (as she does all day) and then tootles me off to the Garbo library for writers group!
  • I use the loo once before entering Meeting Room One and grabbing my usual spot.
  • Eight people attended today; thanks to Mary who went with me to the loo @ morning tea (I managed fine by myself), got me some morning tea and our homework topic for next's fortnight's 'Winter solstice'. My teddies were planning to  commandeer my homework and bag Alison out for not attending the meeting today like she promised, but there are extenuating circumstances (Mr. Boyd needs some operation) so I'll try and behave. XD
  • After Karina took me once more to the loo she tootled us off to Ikkairo for lunch with Fi! We arrived first and grabbed a table, I messaged  Fiona letting her know we'd arrived and she soon joined us.
  • She had chicken curry, I had some kinda tonkatsu and Karina had sth spicy. We shared some kinda fruit tea and drank water.
  • 'Twas lovely catching up!~ Even better was afterwards hiking to Woka Underwood and getting my HK-style milk tea fix.XD
  • Back home, I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Karina who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted I headed out and booted the computer up while Karina cleaned the bathroom and then sat to very gently massage Ela for about twenty minutes.
  • After I signed her  off with my thanks and byes, dad came home, fed me two tiny bananas for arvo tea and let's eat dinner out tonight since we've gotta celebrate the Maroons' Origin win last night plus buy groceries!
  • At Garbo's Eight Street, dad ordered three sushi rolls (half a roll for me) and some thin noodlles. I got some yummy chicken drumstick and he'd bought his water bottle along.
  • Before coming home we bought fresh produce from Spuds And Plums.
  • Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • Anyways, fingers crossed I can bbl after one last loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding ttotal for today, the final, final events for tonight plus  what's happening Friday, else wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3166 (ha, I'm over three grand XD) but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-ONE MINUTES online after dearest dad and I get back from our celebratory dinner tonight for the Maroons' victory last night!! Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

  • Nature called again just after sunrise; following 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*
  • When Karina arrived @ 7:30am, I couldn't what she said after good morning but I just waved Pearl @ her and she knew to leave us alone for fifteen more minutes. XD
  • When she came back I swung myself over once more to  the pot :P for three tinkles and asked Karina what she had said when she first arrived coz I missed that? Karina laughed and said she forgot her earplugs and I roaed with laughter, saying bragging rights are MINE AGAIN this year! XD
    Cheers,

Tuesday Post 472d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 3612. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post, I just Facebooked for fifteen minutes. 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.
  • Toms: very early start toms; I'm seeing Kelvin Leung to get my new mouth splint @ like 7:30am!
  • Must remember to ask mother can she tell dad to take me to Maccas for breakkie afterwards; originally she said she'd tell dad to take me to Wing Gei for lunch but since the appointment's ridiculously early, obviously they're not gonna be open for lunch yet!
  • Will also haveta ask PIG mum who's coming toms to take me to see Aunty Ann for some massage and acupuncture and back home for lunch and then out to the  NAB for physio and back home for a shower coz the roster still says TBA.
  • But most excitingly: toms night's Origin Two; GO THE MIGHTY MAROONS!!!

    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 472c

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 3501 (ha, I'm literally one step over 3.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "God's Restraining Grace'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

  • When dad still hadn't summoned me for dinner @ 7:45pm, I called out and enquired after  his progress? Dad said will call you over once I've finished cooking.
  • When dad finally summoned me over @ 7:58pm for dinner, 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 little bok choy, two chunks of two different melon, one slice of egg and one yummy chicken drumstick with about half the meat removed. Dad was annoying, insisting I eat his 'correct' way again, i.e some of everything whereas I prefer my own way, save the best for last. How I satisfy both ways: take a *tiny* nibble of chicken, pick like *one grain of rice, take another *tiny* nibble of meat and then stuff my mouth full of vegetables! That way, dad can't bag me outt for not eating his 'correct' way, while I still have some best for last saved  to finish thev meal. XD
  • 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  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!

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 3110. Ha, I'm over three grand. XD Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

  • After I'd used up my most important two hours of the day I headed over to the gobbling :P table and waited for dad to gimme some arvo tea. He had mates over see; they were sitting outside on his deck chatting.
  • Arvo tea was a delicious waffle from one of the uncles; dad even lightly buttered it and added one drop of honey for me! Made up for the fact that my cup of white tea was without sweetener. XD
  • Happily read that former U.S. president (Jimmy Carter)'s book for one hour, reaching page fifty @ 5:02.
  • Used the loo for one more tinkle before returning online.
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!

Tuesday Post 472

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2854 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Offense Of Fearing Man'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'How To Develop Patience (2)' and thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'True Religion'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Nature called around 2:30am; I used the pot:P again around 6:45am before I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • Nature usually calls hourly after that first daylight pot :P trip, but happinness is snooring soundly with Pearl all the way until 8:50am when dearest dad silently and very thoughtfully walks down the hallway and unlocks the door for Lena's arrival @ 9am.
  • Once dad lets Lena in, Lena knocks, opens the door and bids me good morning. When I nod Pearl @ her, she laughs, bids Pearl good morning too and offers us fifteen more minutes, wisely leaving when I nod Pearl @ her again. Phew, since Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum. XD
  • When Lena returns, I use the pot :P once more for three tinkles, we get me kitted and I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I head outside to the gobbling :P table.
  • Breakfast is one bowl of Weet-Bix porridge with one slice of toast lightly spread with avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs  :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • After breakfast, I sit once more  over the loo. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
  • After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of Lena's car. She kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt all day and tootles me off to Breathe Physio and Pilates for my physio session with Eric.
  • Physio today: 2.509km bike ride,  three sets of standing rowing for both arms, three sets of stepping for both legs,  knees boxing raises legs and normal boxing! Only one student was present today; the other was @ some rowing competition!
  • Our other stop was Pinelands Plaza.  Unfortunately all the disabled parking spots were taken and Lena didn't find another park until the other end, but hey.
  • Lena grabbed a trolley for us and we first bought groceries froom Coles before I ordered my crunchy pork salad roll from Aunty Nancy @ Pinelands Bakehouse.
  • Back home I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Lena who helped me rinse out my hair out; thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye fully shut.
  • I had one tinkle before Lena flipped the nice  hot water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Lena rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was helping with Elf's AFO straps and one last when she was giving Wally back to Ela.
  • Back outside, lunch was my yummy pork salad roll - silly Aunty Nancy grabbed the wrong one for me; it wasn't crunchy but Lena pointed out there was LOTSA meat inside - and one mug of white tea with one spoonful of honey because like I told Lena, dad's gone out swimming and you don't haveta gimme peppermint tea anymore! XD
  • Lol we both had so much fun playing with our mobiles that we didn't notice the time! I stuffed my last morsel of pork salad roll into my mouth, asked Lena to please wash my lunch dish and cup for me, and quickly used the loo for one tinkle. Actually I signed Lena off while I was still over the loo. XD
  • Toms: a super-early start  for me since I've gotta see Kelvin Leung for my new mouth splint! Will ask PIG mum tonight: can she get baba to take me for breakfast @ Maccas afterwards?
  • Unsure who's taking me to see Aunty  Anna for some massage and acupuncture @ 10am?
  • Also unsure who's taking me to the NAB in the arvo and then seeing me showered afterwards but I've gotta e-mail Kim and explain my absence for the next month!\
  • Most excitingly: it's ORIGIN TWO toms night; GO  THE MIGHTY MAROONS!!! Only Dr. Lee has taken up my offer to watch the match @ my place and he's only staying for the first half since his cats have given him a curfew but hopefully others will come!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,

 One final good evening and greeting  for tonight! With a final, final plodding total of 1501, lemme cover final, final events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post, I chatted with Alison (she says she'll attend GCCW this RThursday provided I send my homework early!), Fiona (we're doing lunch this Thursday!) and Boss (he's got my work for me!).
  • 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: Lena's minding me 9-2, taking me to Breathe for physio with Jacky @ 11am and then we're going grocery shopping @ Coles together before I buy my bahn mi for lunch.
  • Looking forward to spending my most important two hours of the day online, reading Jimmy  Carter's book for one hour and then watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 96TH time!
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Monday Post 472b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Wally's getting charged right now; lemme just note down potential final, final events for Monday?

  • Once I'd used up my most important two hours of the day, I headed over to the gobbling :P table and waited for dad to finish work in the garage and come inside to feed me arvo tea.
  • Dad  eventually passed me one banana, one mug of peppermint tea and one white chocolate Tim Tam! Delicious~
  • Then I  happily started reading one of the eight books I'd picked @ the Bookfest this morning; I never knew Jimmy Carter, the former US president, had written a book! I reached page twenty-five @ 5:14pm.
  • Before returning online, I did another stinky unspeakable and thanks to dad who helped me put a vest on; it's cold!
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner tonight else wishing everyone a smashing Tuesday ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Monday Poist 472

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @  work plodding 1001 steps (ha, I'm literally one step over one grand! XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic  from last night's 'How To Plead For Unbelievers'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'How To Develop Patience (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Live In Freedom'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Aw, silly dad ruined my achieving the 8th time this year when I've enjoyed one consecutive week of  awesome sleeps went he went THUMP!; upstairs @ 6:05am only sunrise wasn't until 6:37am!
  • After using the pot :P once,  I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before dearest dad lets himself into my room @ 8:40am and reminds me to warm-up Elf for five minutes before getting fifteen more minutes.
  • When Rebecca arrived I was gonna get up immediately but dad said five for minutes since I need to tell Rebecca what you're doing today. When Rebecca came back 4:30 later, Pearl indignantly screeched @ her thirty more seconds! Rebecca just laughed and complied. XD
  • When she came back again, I used the pot :P for two more tinkles while she went around finding  clothes for me. After we got me kitted, I headed over to the bathroom and brushed teeth, sat over the looo for one tinkle and  then headed out to the gobbling  :P table.
  • Breakfast is some Weet-Bix porridge, one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with avocado and  hopefully sprinkled with salt, one full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and half a mug of warm Milo. 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*Oh, even better, Rebecca makes me one small mug of white tea with two sugars!
  • After  breakfast, I sit once moore 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 Rebecca's car, she kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt and then she toottles me off to the Convention Centre for the Lifeline Bookfest!
  • On arrival I transfer down (like Hannah, she uses  the block) into Sparkless3 and nearly slip off the block! Luckily Era's grasping the car door hard and I don't stack it.
  • We catch the lift up and head towards one of the open rooms. To the usher guy @ the door I ask him where are  the $2.50 books and the guy replies oh, you're in the wrong room! This is the high quality section; head one room over for the $2.50 section.
  • Once in the right section, someone hands us each a directory and I ask Rebecca please to find me the fantasy and sci fi section. I choose a David Eddings book then ask Rebecca to please find me the Hardcover fiction., can't, and we ask some volunteer where it is; he goes to find it for us but while he's gone Rebecca suddenly spots  it! Once  I'm there I ask Rebecca can she please find that guy and  let him know we've found it but the bloke suddenly appears behind us and says cool you found it yourself!
  • Rebecca leaves me to trawl through the shelves while she wanders over to the high quality books; when she comes back I've shortlisted a whole stack! We wheel me  over to some empty table and Rebecca lays them all out for me and  then  takes a photo of them for me before saying you've still got some time; wanna keep  browsing? Sure! I actually found a great one and traded that for one from the eight  I'd already chosen! Sorry Wilbur Smith. XD
  • Back home, I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to REBECCA wHO HeLPeD ME RINsE out MY HAIr< THUS FREEING Era to hold my stupid right eye tigHTLY SHUT.
  • Um yeah my keyboard has gone haywire and I'm randomly putting out capital letters. XD
  • I had one tinkle before Rebecca flipped the nice hot water off, got dried, got dried and had another tinkle. When Rebecca 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.
  • For lunch Rebecca reheated the rice dad had left me and made me another little mug of white tea with two sugars. Over lunch, we introduced our books to each other!
  • I sat over the loo once more for two tinkles @ 1:55pm. Dad got home, immediately signed her off and shooed her away.
  • Fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 95TH time!
  • Toms: Lena's minding me 8-2. She'll take me to Breathe for physio then Pinelands Plaza for grocery shopping  @ Coles and bahn mi buying for my lunch @ the Pinelands Bakehouse.
  • Don't have any more plans for Tuesday. Looking forward tto spending my most important two hours of the day online, reading for one hour and watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 96TH time!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing Tuesday toms!
