Tuesday Post 367

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2358 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Suffering That Crushes Faith'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Gowing Older With Grace' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Faith Of A Child'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, August the 1st and 1st awesome sleep of the month! Nature didn't call until 7:05am and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • Since dearest dad usually leaves for work @ 7:45am, I didn't think I'd fall back asleep before he left for work but he must've been watching some soccer this morning because he didn't unpop the lock for the garage door till 7:05am!
  • After dearest dad kisses me bye, picks Pearl from the ground (the silly soft toy rolled himself off bed last night; nothing to do with me! XD), pretended to suck his SEVEN pearls, laughed when Pearl body slammed him for the cheek and left for his hard day's work, Pijum, Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her usual a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before returning outside and awaiting Lena's arrival @ 9am.
  • Once PIG mum lets Lena in, she knocks, pushes open the door and bids me good morning. When I flap one of Pijum's ears in response to her, Lena laughs and says cya in fifteen more minutes before leaving after Pijum gives her another earflap. XDWhen Lena comes back, I use the loo for one more tinkle before we get me kitted and I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. After sitting over the loo for one tinkle, I wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Lena, who told me that she had KFC for breakfast!
  • 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 Rix and Lena kindly helps me with my seatbelt (as she does all day) before tootling me off to physio @ Breathe.
  • Eric's actually away attending a weeklong bucks' party! Physio with Val today: 1.862km bike ride, thirty hip raises for left hip, 36 leg raises for Elf and boxing!
  • After physio, Lena tootled us off to Pinelands Plaza. 
  • She got a disabled park, grabbed a trolley for us and we began shopping @ Coles. Only there weren't any cheap facial tissues left! Lena told me to ring PIG mum and ask her did she want us to buy a more expensive box but PIG mum replied don't bother coz I only gave you exact money. 
  • Our other stop was Pinelands Bakehouse where I bought a crackling pork bahn mi from Aunty Nancy~
  • 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 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 Lena was doing Elf's AFO straps and one last when she was giving Wally back to Ela.
  • Back outside, Lena blew dry my hair, served me my yummy crackling pork salad roll for lunch and went to clean the bathroom before having KFC for lunch. I'm jealous: she already had KFC for breakfast!
  • Before Lena left @ 2pm, I asked her please to help me put a vest on, but PIG mum shooed her away and did it herself. Won't see Lena next week since she's got some meeting on; hope someone else remembers to come!
  • Once I've used up the most impoortant two hours of my day I'll head back to the gobbling :P table and read for one  hour. Hopefully PIG mum'll feed me some arvo tea.
  • Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 120TH time!
  • Toms: think I'm seeing Ray for some late morning massage and acupuncture; bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD
  • Think Bree's taking me to play table tennis and then I've got NAB physio for one hour? Last week I had to miss out on birthday cake; I'm not leaving again early toms! ><" 
  • She see me home and showered before leaving @ 6:30pm, I'll finish watching the 6pm news for the 121ST time, wolf down dinner and then dearest dad'll take me to Dr. Lee's for another Bible study for GG.
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Monday Post 367c

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2732. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • When Rebecca left, I happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 119TH time! All the interesting surnames I saw: Bavas, Marles, Maggs (heard), Campbell, Kohler (heard), Lehrmann, Inglis, Palaszczuk, Allsop, Crisafullii, Rawlings, Arvier, Fentiman, Butler, Schwarzer, Kerr (heard), Lambe, Mortime, Sharif, Welch, Short, Finke, Piastri (heard), Verstappen (heard)Piakura (heard), Zorko (heard),Kawaja (heard), Fegan, Clayton, Djodan, Broad (heard), Walters, Lambe, Barker and Uptin. Chris Kohler read the finance report. 1AUD = 66.91USc. Garry Youngberry read the weather report from Ipswich. Brisbane was 12-28 today. Mt. Gravatt toms: 11-25.  Sunrise 6:29am Sunset 5:20pm
  • When the parents 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 yummy cauliflower, several huge chunks of soup carrot, four tiny little pieces of pork and one slice (about 1/4) of yummy oven-baked crumbed fish.
  • 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.
  • 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: Lena's minding me from 9-2. I've got Breathe physio with Eric and Valentine @ 11am before PIG mum'll presumably send us to Pinelands Coles to buy groceries. Hopefully she'll lemme buy a bahn mi from Aunty Nancy @ the Pinelands Bakehouse too!
  • Shouldn't have any plans after Lena leaves ... looking forward to spending my most important two hours of the day online and reading that exciting book for one hour; also fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 119TH time!
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Monday Post 367b

 Good evening again and heylo again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2648 but secondly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed  FORTY-TWO MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, continuing events for today?

  • Yay, dearest dad was home eating lunch and having a Whatsapp video chat with 4th Aunty when we got home~
  • For lunch, PIG mum fed me a toastie and one yummy mug of peppermint tea.
  • Afterwards, I see Aunty Anna for some massage and acupuncture. PIG mum yaps incessantly @ her (my grateful thanks to Aunty Anna who always replied and kept a conversation flowing); her soporific voice sends me to sleep but luckily I didn't snore. XD
  • Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • Thanks to PIG mum who let Rebecca inside when she announced her arrival exactly @ 4pm, thus saving me from a potentially dangerous trip to the front door.
  • So a nice hot shower for me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Rebecca 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 to the gobbling :P table, where lunch was some fruit, one plain rice cracker and one cup of coffee. Happiness was reading that legal book for one hour and still having nineteen minutes to play Quest! I reached pg. 225 @ exactly 5pm and reached pg. 250 @ 5:30pm.
  • Before Rebecca left @ 6pm (she's back same time next Monday) I sat over the loo for two more tinkles.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Monday Post 367

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2505 steps (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Suffering That Strengthens Faith'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Break Outta The Box'; fourthly, joni's devotional topic's 'Sing Whenever' and fifthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Staying On Track With God' but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and FOURTEEN MINUTESonline after dinner tonight!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Aww, you'd reckon walking more than half a normal person would guarantee me an awesome night's sleep last night, wouldn't you? Nope, nature called @ 2:45am; I presumed 'twas  coz I'd been so excited about our community KFC lunch earlier yesterday. XD
  • Nature called again @ 6:30am; 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 wake again for the pot :P when dearest dad very thoughtfully walks silently down the hallway and unpops the lock into the garage. After he's kissed me bye, retucked me back into bed and left for his hard day's work, I happily snore for about another hour, waking once more  for the pot :P shortly before PIG mum begfins her noisy daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap and the tee 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 heard over to the bathroom and brush teeth. After sitting over the loo for one tinkle, I 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 was half a bowl of plain porridge with one slice of delicious crusty bread (from dad's client that PIG mum finds yucky), 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 slowly and safely to the loo, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
  • After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's 4WD and she tootles me off to see Aunty Anna for some massage and acupuncture. Obviously, she gleefully forces me to buckle my own seatbelt all  day; we also listen to 97.3FM all day too.
  • PIG mum finds a disabled park on B3, we catch the lift up and then I hike to Bupa.
  • There's a short wait since there were issues with the previous client but eventually Daniel bid me in. 
  • The eye test was routine and the good news's that my myopia hasn't increased but PIG mum waited for Rico coz she wanted me to get a spare pair in case sth happens to the pair I'm currently wearing. Actually, she left me sitting inside the store and went window-shopping; Rico arrived and greeted me by name! I feel like a valued customer. XD
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 367c

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3551. Ha, I'm just over 3.5 grand. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post, I read and shared the She Reads Truth daily devotional. Also having a Whatsapp convo with Mr. Jennings. Gosh, he's weird. 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: just church, definitely nothing special. Actually, the special thing's that EM's having lunch together @ like Rochedale State High afterwards and playing sports together! Obviously I'm too physically disabled to play sport but will share lunch together coz we're doing a joint KFC order!
  • Then dad had better remember to take us to eat CHINESE food for dinner and gimme ONE bowl of rice to eat!
  • Righteo, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 367b

 Good evening again and heylo again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3482 (so bet I'll have cracked 3.5 grand before the night's out XD) and secondly, J oni's devotional topic's 'Dashed Hopes' but thirdly and way most importantly I'm really still owed SIXTEEN MINUTES online after I visit the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 7th consecutive awesome sleep last night; that's the 9th time this year I've achieved one straight week of consecutive awesome sleeps! :D Suppose I'm so used to PIG mum waking for her  half-day's work every Saturday that my physical body hasn't comprehended that she's retired because nature automatically called this morning @ 6:20am! XD 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 till PIG mum let herself into my room @ 9:50am to hit me with the eye goo before waking again to relieve myself! Actually, she made me forget my dream (I was dreaming before she woke me) but hopeful it'll come back tonight/toms morning and remember it!
  • While awaiting Nisha's arrival @ 10am, 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 PIG mum lets Nisha in, she  knoocks, pushes open the door and just says "Fifteen more minutes?" Pearl's rather miffed that she didn't bid us good morning first but since she didn't demand we get up immediately, I told him to leave things be. Besides, Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum. XD
  • Lol somehow I fell back asleep and Nisha didn't rouse me! XD After I'd used the pot :P for one more tinkle, we got me kitted and then I went next door and brushed teeth. After drinking a tall glass of water, I sit over the loo proper and 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 outside to the gobbling :P table for breakfast. Thanks to dearest dad who'd fried some eggs and Nisha who added one slice of cheese for me. Over and after breakfast, I happily read for thirty minutes, finishing pg. 100 @ 11:02 and reaching pg. 111 @ exactly 11:20. Nisha very gently massaged Ela for just under fifteen minutes after I asked her please to.
  • While Nisha closed and locked windows, I used the loo for one more tinkle before climbing into the passenger seat of her car and buckling my own seatbelt (what I did all day). Nisha tootles us off to Calamvale Central, parks underground and grabs a trolley for us.
  • At Woolies I buy one box of cheap facial tissues and she buys some kinda veggie juice and two avocadoes.
  • Our other stop's the Sushi Hub, where I chose an unagi and egg sushi for arvo tea. Then I see that they are selling mini inari for four days only, each costing two bucks and ask Nisha have I got enough coijs to buy one? She checks and says sorry you've only got one dollar seventy. Aww, won't you please shout me thirty cents? I beg. And she says yes! :D Teriyaki salmon's delicious, BTW~
  • Back home, I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Nisha who helps me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • I had one tinkle before Nisha flipped the nice hot water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Nisha 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, she made me one more mug of white tea with two sugars and then reheated rice leftovers with added oyster sauce for my lunch before going to clean the bathroom.
  • At 1:40pm I sat over the loo and did another stinky unspeakable. PIG mum arrived home just as Nisha was about to drop me off @ church~
  • At church, Nisha walked with me into the room where dad signed her off and she left four minutes early. She's back same time next week.
  • Dad and I had great fun playing thrice/four times; he even lemme win! XD I just screeched @ him whenever he played spin shots/smashed the ball @ me. XD
  • Back home, I used the loo for one more tinkle and then headed down to the gobbling :P table to munch my yummy sushi roll and drink one big mug of yummy peppermint tea. Then I read all the way till 5:30pm, meaning I've spent three hours reading today! :D
  • After sitting over the loo for two tinkles, I pop online and then happily watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 118TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
  • Once the news was over, I called to PIG mum was dinner ready yet? She said come; after using the loo for one tinkle I walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • PIG mum cooked fried rice with pineapple tonight and for once, 'twas tasty! Obviously she screeched that she'd put too much sauce into it. XD
  • Dinner was washed down with one cup of soya bean milk that PIG mum had made earlier; after taking the cup over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • Righteo, 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 Sunday else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Friday Post 367

 Good afternoon! Firstly, my final, final plodding total from last night's around 3000 (PIG mum took Wally off for charging and didn't bother seeing me safely to bed first); secondly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2780 steps; thirdly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's "If You Don't Fight Lust"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Prophecy Fulfilled'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Long Game' and fifthly, the spam count for the week's twenty-two but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed SEVENTEEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 117TH time!! Anyways, just briefly, let's start off with last night's events first!

  • Ten people attended GCCW yesterday, Mary helped me once to the disabled loo and back for morning tea, Sattya got me bikkies and tea for morning tea and our homework for next meeting's 'decisions'.
  • Karina bought me a gyos that I munched while she tootled me off to the NAB for physio.
  • My new student's Canto and called sth like Caitlin! Physio yesterday: Forty sit-to-stands with left weight shift and seated reaching for n both hands.
  • Got home, showered, watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 116TH time, wolfed down dinner and was seated on the couch before 7:30pm to watch the Broncos play!
  • We won convincingly! Hence why I watched Friday Night Knockoff and got myself off too bed afterwards~ Zzz~Today: yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Despite me fervently praying last night and asking God please DON'T send that noisy garbage truck THUNDERING down our road to tip bins until the Sun has risen sufficiently enough for me to see the time on my wall clock,  God goes screw you and DELIBERATELY sends that noisy garbage truck THUNDERING down before sunrise. >< Well, if God's gonna say screw you I'm gonna say that right back coz I successfully managed to fall back asleep, ha.
  • Nature called @ 6:40am and after one pot :P trip I fell back asleep immediately because I knew PIG mum would get very noisy again prolly one hour later!
  • When PIG mum's noisy a-THUMPING around wakes me around 7:50am, I use the pot :P again 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*
  • PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before letting Peggy inside @ 8am. Peggy knocks, pushes open the door and says fifteen more minutes? Pearl nods @ her and she wisely removes herself, phew, because Pearl's anatomically incompatible with giving the Bear Bum. XD
  • When Peggy comes back, I use the pot :P for three more tinkles, we get me kitted and I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who's squirted some tothpaste 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 spread with avocado, 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*

Thursday Post 367

 Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total from Thursday's actually 4927 (lol, I was *nearly* half a normal person! XD); secondly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's 'Disappointed And Angry'; thirdly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2617 steps (ha, I'm over 2,5 grand XD); fourthly, TWFT topic's "Don't Quarrel About It' and fifthly, Our Daily Devotional topic's 'Extra Grace Required' but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTEEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 116TH time!! Anyways, just briefly, let's start off with yesterday's events first!


  • Yesterday morning, I saw Ray for some massage and acupuncture then came home to eat some delicious green tea soba for lunch before Bree took me to play table tennis only I had to leave early and missed out on birthday cake coz I needed to get home and shower before Peter Pie and Yu Lam came to pick me up for our GG dinner and group social!
  • Peter Pie parked under the cinema; I linked arms with Yu Lam and we hiked all the way over to Motto Motto. 
  • Eep all the seats were stools; luckily Peter found a seat with a backrest for me!
  • Six people met for dinner; I stuck with my favourite chicken katsudon because the unagi dish and the pork dish were twenty-three and twenty-four bucks respectively! The katsudon was $17.90~ Lol I thought the kitchen staff hadn't cooked my egg properly coz the white was still clear and runny and PIG mum tells me don't eat raw egg but then Yu Lam taught me it's actually called onsen egg, fully cooked and safe to eat! 
  • Afterwards, we lined up for tickets, Yu Lam bought our tickets and popcorn then I used the disabled loo once myself before we all entered the cinema.
  • Gosh the cinema was packed! I hiked up thirteen steaps before I reached my seat! 
  • Will haveta write a special blog post about the Barbie movie when I get time~
  • Used the disabled loo for one more tinkle before Peter Pie and Yu Lam dropped me back home. I tried pleading the cause for ice cream @ Maccas to finish the night but that wasn't to be, since 'twas already past 10pm. XD
  • Back home, repeat the usual nightly events and zzz~
  • Today: yay, 5th consedutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:20am and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since I knew PIG mum would get VERY noisy one hour later!
  • Like clockwork, noisy PIG mum going a-THUMPING around one hour later awoke me for another pot :P trip, 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*
  • PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before she lets Kariba inside @ 7:30pm. Karina knocks, bids me good morning, bids Pearl good morning too when I nod Pearl @ her, offers us fifteen more minutes and thankfully exits when Pearl nods @ her again because he's not anatomically capable of giving the Bear Bum. XD
  • When Karina returns, I use the pot :P for three more tinkles, we get me kitted and I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who squirts me some toothpaste.
  • Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one more tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Karina.
  • Breakfast is one bowl of plain instant porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) bread, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Thanks to Karina who turns on Sunrise for my viewing pleasure; over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • After breakfast, I sit once more over the loo. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
  • After washing and drying Era, I climb into Karina's backseat and she tootles me off to the Garbo library for GCCW! Thanks to her who kindly helped me with my seatbelt all day~
  • At the library, I use the disabled loo once and then grab my usual spot on the most left.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 367

 Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total from yesterday actually stands @ 3106 (ha, I'm over three grand XD); secondly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1527 steps (ha, I'm just over 1.5 grand XD    ); thirdly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "Satan's Strategy And Your Defense'; fourthly, TWFT topic's 'Showing Love And Respect' and fifthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Castaway Faith' but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-FOUR MINUTES online after I get back from our GG social tonight! Anyways, just briefly, last night's events first?

  • When dad got home from his hard day's work, he IMMEDIATELY sent me to the loo and wait for Rebecca's arrival @ 5:30pm, even though I still wanted to read for three more minutes to reach one hour! I just noted that down and did as bid.
  • Rebecca arrived promptly, everything went smoothly and we arrived promptly. The biggest trouble was finding a decent park!
  • Only eight attended tonight, but we had a great time~ I ordered my blackboard special pie with chips coz I wasn't as healthy as Steph who ordered hers with pumpkin mash; happiness was getting to shake a liberal dose of salt over the plain chips when they arrived!
  • I went back to order ice cream and tried salted caramel flavour for the first time - OMG: delicious!! The guy who gave me ice cream was a champion tooo; I gave him my five dollar bill and asked please gimme the biggest scoop of ice cream you can manage for five bucks but he really gave me not  one, not two but THREE little scoops! :D
  • Rebecca persuaded everyone to head outside and play pool! I sat this one out but obligingly cheered for the red team as ordered to by Rebecca. XD
  • Aww, aren't Bruce and Neil sweet? The two gentlemen walked us back to where Rebecca had parked her car! I think they were surprised when they saw me getb outta Sparkless3 and walk several steps before mounting the block and climbing into her car; don't think they've seen me walk before!
  • Got home nice and early - 9:28pm. Repeat the usual nightly routine @ 9:45pm I went and hit the sack./
  • Today: yeah, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:05am and after one pot :P trip I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • Amazingly, I managed to fall back asleep again before dearest dad came to kiss me bye and leave for his hard day's work @ 7:45am!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 366

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2460 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Jesus Keeps His Ship'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'They Will Come Back To It' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Every Grief'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 6:35am and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep again since I knew dearest dad would get ready to leave for his hard day's work one hour later!
  • Like clockwork, one hour later @ 7:35am dearest dad walks very thoughtfully silently down the hallway and unpops the lock into the garage, which wakes me for another pot :P trip. After it, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • At 7:45am, dearest dad comes and kisses me goodbye, pretends to suck Pearl's SEVEN pearls, laughs when Pearl body slams him for the cheek, retucks me back into bed and leaves for his hard day's work.
  • After dad goes, Pearl and I cuddle and snore 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 @ 9am.
  • Once PIG mum lets Lena in, Lena knocks, opens the door and bids me good morning. When I nod Pearl back @ her, she laughs, bids Pearl good morning too and offers us fifteen more minutes? Luckily, she removes herself after I nod Pearl @ her again, 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 then I heard over to the bathroom and brush teeth before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Lena, showing her along the way where Karina had found Pearl last Thursday!
  • Breakfast is less than one bowl of Weet-Bix porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast beautifully decorated (by Lena) with sliced avocado and hopefully sprinkled with some 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* Lena only brought hot water; I told her to use our instant coffee and made a cup for me too and she did! Pity PIG mum came downstairs and immediately banned her from doing that again ... *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 in the passenger seat of Rix (Lena's car), she kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt (as she does all day) and then tootles me off to physio @ Breathe.
  • Physio today: 1.333km bike ride,  forty (four sets of ten)  leg raises,  two sets of modified bird dog (one set leaning against raised plinth and the other lying face down on floor) and boxing!
  • Afterwards, Lena tootled us off to Pinelands Coles and grabbed a shopping trolley for us. First we bought groceries from Coles and that I bought my once-weekly bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse. Aunty Nancy was @ the back of the store and I didn't see her but when I called hi she yelled back Hello Emily! Hello Lena! to us. XD
  • 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 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 doing Elf's AFO straps and one last when she was giving Wally back to Ela.
  • Back outside, lunch was my delicious crackling pork salad roll plus one delicious mug of Chinese tea. Lena helped me dry my hair before returning  to clean the bathroom before joining me for lunch; while we were @ Coles she bought th from the bakery.
  • At 2pm Lena got PIG mum to sign her off but PIG mum kept yapping @ her and wouldn't let her leave for another two minutes. XD
  • After I finish my lunch I use the loo for one tinkle and then walk myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • Once I've used up my most important two hours of the day,  I'll use the loo again then head down to the gobbling :P table and read for one hour; fingers crossed PIG mum'll feed me some arvo tea~
  • Excitement: tonight Rebecca's taking me to the Brewhouse Bakery pub for our belated changeover function! I'm looking forward to a pub dinner. XD
  • Toms: think I'm seeing Ray for some acupuncture and massage before Bree takes me to play table tennis @ midday. Her shift ends @ 6pm but  Yu Lam and Peter Pie are picking me up @ 5:30pm since toms night we're having our SG social: after eating dinner together we're gonna watch the Barbie movie! Will haveta ask PIG mum what time I need to leave table tennis.
  • Anyways, prolly won't bbl so wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

  • After I published the previous post, I completed the first drafe for my entry into the GCCW competition!

  • After watching the 6pm bulletin, I read and shared the She Reads Truth daily devotional befoore going back and continuing to type my GCCW comp entry! Originally I thought the due date was this Thursday and I'll definitely not finish in time, but Alison says it's not due till next Monday and I'm sure with the weekend I can submit my story!
  • When dad summoned me over for dinner @ 7:33pm, 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 lettuce, lotsa not-as-yummy pawpaw, some yummy snow fungus and two little chunks of chicken that I obviously saved for last.
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly  and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms else wishing everyone a smashing Tuesday ahead!

Monday Post 366b

 Heylo again and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I get to post online before midday. XD Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2198 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'How To Defy Sinful Desire'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Do You Have An Attitude Of Entitlement?' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Hope In Grief'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently along the hallway and pulled the sliding bathroom door shut @ 6:45am; after one pot :P trip, I immediately fell back asleep again coz I thought that he'd leave for work less than one hour later!
  • Only how come dad didn't unpop the lock into the garage @ 8:05am, waking me for another pot :P trip? After the second pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • After dad kisses me bye, retucks me back into bed, pretends to suck Pearl's SEVEN pearls, laughs when Pearl body slams him for the cheek and leaves for his hard day's work, Pijum and I happily cuddle and snore, me been woken for one more pot :P trip shortly after 9am when the telephone rings.
  • Shortly afterwards, PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and lemme know that my eye test has been rescheduled for next Monday coz the front desk rang her this morning and told her Rico's not coming in today and would you like to rebook? PIG mum replied yes; my new appointment's for next Monday. I asked PIG mum what can I do today, then? She replies let's go to Kmart @ Underwood Marketplace coz you need new knickers.
  • PIG mum helps minutely with absolutely nothing but the bra strap and a tee 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 finish with absolkutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth.
  • 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 half a bowl of plain porridge with another slice of that delicious crust bread dad's client recently gave him, 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 4WD. PIG mum tootles  us off to Underwood Marketplace and parks @ the tip.
  • We only hike to near the end of the shopping centre, to Big W where PIG mum buys a new pack of undies for me.
  • Baack home, I use the loo for one more tinkle and then walk myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • I plop online but for only briefly, since PIG mum comes over and has me apply for the Everyday Rewards card and Flybuys card with her. While we're doing that, dearest dad comes home and has lunch with us~
  • For lunch, I have one yummy bowl of leftovers from last night's dinner; dad also tosses me half a mandarin that contains around four seeds.
  • Lunch is washed down with one yucky mug of some ginger infusion thing; luckily PIG mum says that's the last teabag. 
  • After taking my bowl over to the sink, I use the loo for one more tinkle and then walk myself slowly and safely back online, eising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • Rebecca's minding me from 4-6 and then I'm looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 115TH time!
  • Toms: Lean's minding me 9-2 and taking me to  Breathe for an hour's physio.
  • Presuming we'll buy groceries from Pinelands Coles afterwards; fingers crossed PIG mum'll lemme buy a crackling pork salad roll from Aunty  Nancy @ the Pinelands Bakehouse!
  • Biggest excitement: Rebecca's taking us to the Brewhouse Bakery pub for our belated changeover function! I'm looking forward to getting dinner from the pub and hopefully someone will stay back later so I'll not haveta come back home super-early!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl tonight, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Sunday Post 366c

 Good evening and prolly one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's probable final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ exactly 3500 (ok, 'twas actualy 3497 but I was so pissed with that number I sttood up after shoving the chair back, took three small steps forward while pulling the chair behind me and sat back down; 3.5 grand sounds heaps cooler than 3497, don'tcha reckon? XD); secondly, Joni's devotional topic for tonight's "God's Loving Hands" and thirdly, the  probable final, final spam count for the weekend's now five. Righteo, probable final, final events for tonight?

  • I'd just finished watching the first half when PIG mum tumbles downstairs from pigland, immediately forces me offline and then I haveta  let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk outside and let her gleefully force mostly poor Ela to take down the day's washing; argh, I HATES standing practice! >< Also had to bend to floor to retrieve pegs clumsy Ela dropped twice/thrice but I'm just glad that I finished before dearesr dad got home from badminton and arvo tea with his mates, meaning he didn't get to see how much power PIG mum has over me, ha.
  • Then I took a nice hot shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song slowly, sooftly but most hatefully out aloud, opening booth eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was all doone after only  singing 10%, but happily leaned fully against the side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling for PIG mum.
  • After she dried my back and the back of the chair foor 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 I dried the loo seat, I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, 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.
  • When dad called dinnertime I used the loo for one more tinkle and then climbed into the backseat of his 4WD.
  • Dinner was @ the other end of Calamvale Central, @ Ru Yi Dim Sim! We ordered a three person meal but don't think for an instant that I got one full bowl  of rice; no, dad ate one full bowl, took the second bowl for his lunch toms then left PIG mum and me the third boowl and you can guess who had the 'bigger' half, yes? Obviously not me...
  • Back home, I used the loo for one moore tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely online, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • Toms: late morning visit to Bupa Optical for my once-yearly eye test. Unfortunately Daniel's unavailable; wonder who I'll see?
  • Will hopefully buy groceries with PIG mum afterwards else I don't  see how I'm gonna pass 1000 steps.
  • Rebecca's minding me from 4-6pm toms. Which reminds me, toms I'd better ask the Brewhouse pub what are the dinner specials on Tuesday, coz we're having our belated Toastmasters changeover function there!
  • And fingers crossed  I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 115TH time!
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Sunday Post 366

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1872 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Preach To Yourself'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Bottom Line On Money'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Remember In Prayer'; fifthly, the spam count for the week's actually twenty-three and sixthly, the spam count for the weekend's only one. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, awesome sleep last night! I snored soundly with Pijum all the way until 7:05am, when awoken by PIG mum beginning her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs; before I had the time to awaken sufficiently to realise I needed to relieve myself, PIG mum had already come downstairs and let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo! 
  • PIG mum helped me exceedingly slightly with not only the bra strap but the tee (since dearest dad's still @ home) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first. PIG mum comes back to finish 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  half a bowl of plain porridge with one chunk of crusty garlic bread that dad's client gave  him, yum! I also drank one full mug of water, popped all my usual drugs :P and 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 4WD and buckle my own seatbelt. She tootles us off to church, parking outside the downstairs hall. I hike up the ramp, use the disabled toilet once by myself even though the toilet seat was up and grabbed my usual spot for service.
  • Yay, I got to stay seated for service today~ I sang everything, plus the harmony for two songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
  • Speak today was Uncle Peter Leung (I'm feeling loved, coz before service began he wandered around and said hi~) and his sermon topic was War From The Inside. Turns  out he's actually deaf on one side!
  • After service, I used the  disabled toilet once more, grabbed a packet of bikkies and asked Reverend Samuel's position to sit down @ the table he'd just vacated.
  • After sitting down and checking my mobile, only then did I realise that today was his BIRTHDAY! Dad and I both sang him the Happy Birthday song~ Aunty Happy also came over to say hi!
  • Once PIG mum left for her social gossip and coffee very informal 'fellowship', dad took me to the Rochedale Hungry Jack's for a spot of lunch. I shook a $3 BBQ cheeseburger and choc shake, score! Dad had his Whopper and Coke; he also bought a packet of small chips and I nibbled a phew. Unsure how his deal also came with a small choc sundae but he wouldn't even lemme slurp one *whole* spoonful, sheesh ...
  • Back home, I use the loo for one tinkle and then walk 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. 
  • Once I've used up my most important two hours of the day, I'll use the loo for one tinkle and then head down to the gobbling :P table. Hopefully PIG mum'll feed me some arvo tea and maybe I can read for one hour!
  • Toms: my once-yearly eye test @ Bupa Optical! Only PIG mum says Bupa recently contacted her saying Daniel's not available but somne other guy (Wilson? Winston?) will gimme the eye test instead.
  • Actually the roster says Rebecca's coming from 9-2 and I just remembered that toms arvo I'm not seeing Aunty Anna for any acupuncture and massage coz she's gone cruising! 
  • Looking forward to spending my most important two hours of the day online, fingers crossed for the chance to read for one hour and maybe I'll even get to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 115TH time!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 366c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4620. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post, I started e-mailing Mrs. Hoppie.
  • At 9pm, I walk myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. Oh, the special thing's that apparently there's some kinda street food for sale during morning tea ttoms! Everything's five bucks; fingers crossed PIG mum'll lemme buy one!
  • Would love lunch out with other ESS people but expecting a pissy little cheeseburger with dad @ Hungry Jack's.
  • Alsoo expecting a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum toms arvo ...
  • But dad had better take us out for CHINESE food tonight and gimme ONE bowl of rice!

Saturday Post 366b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4502 (ha, I'm literally a couple of steps iover 4.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The God Of Elisha'. Anyways, continuing yesterday's events?

  • At the end of the first half the Broncos were losing by two points but we came back strongly in the second half and won convincingly! Hence why I watched Friday Night Knockoff and got myself to bed around 11pm.
  • Today: lol, you'd think not hitting the sack until like 11pm wouldn't guarantee me an awesome night's sleep, wouldn't you? I'm guessing I was too excited to sleep straight through the night; PIG mum agreed when she came to hit me with the eye goo this morning around 10am.
  • Nisha minded me from 10am till  2pm. Pity I can't teach her how to cook the bread yummy, but hey. Found a way around the only one mug of white tea with two sugars in the afternoon: drink two in the morning!! XD 
  • Before breakfast, I did a stinky unspeakable, during and after breakfast I read for tthirty minutes and then we went to Calamvale Central to buy groceries from Woolies. I also asked the employee to make me a vegie tempura inari minus the chilli flakes.
  • Took a nice hot shower when I got home - hairwash today. Also thanks to Nisha who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era tto hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted Nisha reheated rice leftovers with added oyster sauce to make it  tasty; I prolly say this every week but while she can't cook toast yummy she sure can make rice tasty! XD
  • I FINISHED THE BOOK CLUB NOVEL @ 1:25PM!!! The acknowledgements were finished five minutes after that~
  • Nisha dropped me off @ church to play table tennis with dearest dad~ He lemme win today! XD
  • Back home, I munched my yummy vegie tempura inari, popped online and then happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 114TH time!
  • The parents ate dinner first without me, but dad waited to drink soup with me while I started eating~
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup, entree and dessert was half a tiny chunk of cheese; after taking the bowl over to the sink I 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: just church, nothing special. Well, the special thing will be that there's HK-style street food on sale for morning tea @ five bucks each! The curry fish balls don't interest me, but hopefully PIG mum'll lemme buy some tofu flower/sth ...
  • Dad had better remember to take us out for CHINESE food for dinner, and gimme ONE bowl of rice!!
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 366

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4226 steps (sweet I'm over four thousand steps; that doesn't happen very often!); secondly, my final, final plodding total from last night's actually 3408 (aww, not quite 3.5 grand XD); thirdly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Models For Combating Discouragement'; fourthly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's 'Where Can I Flee From Your Presence?'; fifthly, TWFT topic's 'Try 2b More Gentle' and sixthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Drenched By The Spirit but seventhly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-SIX MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 114TH time!! Anyways, let's start with yesterday's events first!

  • After I finished watching the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 113RD time, I used the loo for one tinkle, quickly wolfed down dinner with dearest dad (PIG mum had gone out with her much younger ex-nursing mates), skipped soup and was seated on the couch for the 7:30pm coverage of Friday night football!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
    P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 114TH time: Kearsley, Sinatra (heard), Bublé, Campbell, Richtie, MacGibbon, Bloss, Greer, Rafferty (first name), Rolfe, Burrows, Marles, Willan, Sukkar, Chandler (first name), Bavas, Cook, Palaszczuk, Tate, Liveris, Campbell, Arvier, Scanlon (heard), Selby, Biden (heard), Trump, Heinke, Binns, Pelite, Lockyer, Lenihan, Walters, Mam (heard), Timmerman, Hemsworth (heard), Triguboff, Foxall, Fleetwood, Sharma, Harmon (heard), Khawaja, Bairstow, Starc (heard) Hazlewood, Djodan, Fegan, Henwood, Pressley and Taupau.

Friday Post 366

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2908 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic's 'Grace For Every Need'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Start 'Meditating' On The Scriptures; fourthly, Our Daily  Bread's devotional topic's 'Room For Silence' and fifthly, the spam count for the weekend's nineteen but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-FOOUR MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 113RD time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:50am and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since I knew PIG mum would get very noisy one hour later exactly!
  • like clockwork, noisy PIG mum a-THUMPING around upstairs one hour later'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*
  • Soon, PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eyegoo then going back outside and awaiting Peggy's arrival @ 8am. Once PIG mum lets her in, Peggy knocks, pushes open the door, says good morning and announces 'fifteen more...' I nod Pearl @ her and she wisely removes herself. When she comes back, I ask her fifteen more what? Fifteen more cheeseburgers? Peggy just roars with laughter and orders that  I get up. XD
  • After using the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who squirts me some toothpaste.
  • Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast, telling Peggy along the way where Karina had found Pearl yesterday!
  • Breakfast was one bowl of Weet-Bix porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread lightly 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 Peggy's passenger seat, she kindly helps me with my seatbelt (as she does all day) and tootles me off to UQ for physio.
  • It's a two-hour appointment but I get to leave thirty minutes early coz I'm getting Botox from Dr. O'Sullivan!
  • Monica (Mon)'s twenty-two, studied one year of kinesiology and is from Canada! Physio today:  Sixty sit-to-stands with left weight shift,  reaching for Ela and twenty laps short hallway walking. Elaine the teacher wandered over to say hi and told me she and a bunch of staff had dinner with Mr. Jig-Air last night who says to say hi!
  • Peggy collects me early, I sit over the loo for one moore tinkle and then she tootles me back home for a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helps me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, Peggy makes me a toasted tuna in tomato and onion toastie for lunch with TWO cheese, HEABILY buttered on one side only and one big mug of white tea with two sugars!
  • When the parents return PIG mum immediately send me to the loo. While I'm sitting over the loo for two tinkles, she signs Peggy off and shooes her away.
  • Aww, dearest dad came home from whatever he was doing to drive me to where Dr. O'Sullivan works~ He dropped PIG mum and I off and went to Bunnings, saying ring him when we're done.
  • After waiting about thirty minutes I'm summoned into Dr. O'Sullivan's consultation room. I wanted to sit on the most left chair but for some reason PIG mum ordered I sit on the most right. Didn't matter, Dr. O'Sullivan sat across from us. 
  • He clicked around his computer for awhile, we had some small talk and then he told me to walk from the chair to the wall to the bed and back before getting me to lie down and going to prep the injections. PIG mum held Ela still, since she gets involuntary movements.

  • Cheers,
    Em. ^^
    P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 113RD time: Greer, Chicco, Refferty (first name, heard), Pfingst, Bavas, Morcombe (heard), Ariotti (heard), Rawlings, Glover (heard), Arvier, Powell, Flannery, Miles, Fegan, Crisafulli, Crawley, Root, Djodan, Starc (heard),  Prince, Broughton (heard),  Lockyer, Blinken (heard), Melinda (first name), Lambe, Willan, Chalmers, Ley, Sussan (first name), Kissinger, Tyra (first name), Catley, Nona, Gustavsson, Kesby, Paige, Stowers, Tate, Stirling (first name), Hinchliffe, Urlick, Piotrowski, Narbor (first name) and Larkin. 68.85USc =  1AUD.

  • After publishing the previous post, I read homework already submitted from GCCW members. Wonder how they spend the other week with nothing to do?
  • At 9pm I walk 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, yeah~ Like I say every week, a very little's better than none @ all~
  • Toms: Peggy's minding me from 8-2. Hope she got my ttext with attached photo; Karina finally found pearl!!

Thursday Post 366b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 4858 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'What Does Obedience Look Like?" Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

  • Back home, I toook a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Karina who rinsed my hair out for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted I plopped online while Karina went and cleaned the bathroom.
  • Before she left, I sat over the loo once more for two tinkles. At 3:30pm I signed her off with my thanks and byes; she's back again same time next Thursday.
  • For arvo tea, PIG mum fed me one yummy mouthful of passionfruit, one plain rice cake/cracker and one mug of delicious Chinese tea.
  • Before plopping online I used the loo for one tinkle. At 5:40pm, I went and sat over the loo for two more tinkles.
  • Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the  112ND time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
  • Dad summoned me over for dinner @ like 6:35pm; when I screeched he'd said I could watch the news first before we had dinner together he sheepishly replied sorry I forgot I've got a meeting tonight. XD
  • Once the news ended, I used the loo for one tinkle before I walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. 
  • Dinner tonight: the leftover fried rice PIG mum recently cooked topped with one entire bowlful of yummy cauliflower and a few chunks of PIG mum's yummy meat brisket.
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.\
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl after one last loo  trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening Friday, else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Thursday Post 366

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4488 steps (ooh I'm over four grand, which doesn't happen often and bet I'll pass 4.5 grand before the night's over, too! XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'His Timing Is Perfect'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Are You Being Led/Being Driven?' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Pouting On Humility' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ELEVEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 112ND time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, for the first time in three days, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:35am and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep because I knew PIG mum would get very noisy one hour later!
  • Like clockwork, PIG mum wakes me with her noisy daily a-THUMPING around upstairs; 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*
  • Not only that, but after not having any last year, I HAD A FOOD DREAM!! :D I'd just attended some wedding ceremony (sorry, the newlyweds didn't appear so I couldn't congratulate them XD) and afterwards I was wandering around nibbling a mini quiche and when Dr. Lee appears to grumble that I'm eating, I flip him the bird!!! XD I know why: before GG started last night, Dr. Lee was talking about giving the bird; I was like uh, doc, you mean this? Before flipping him a very gentle, non-aggressive middle finger and he nodded!
  • PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going outside to await Karina's arrival @ 7:30am.
  • After my fifteen more minutes, I use the pot :P for only one more tinkle (since I wanna have more reading time @ the library), we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who squirts some toothpaste for me.
  • Teeth brushed, I head out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast: some Weet-bix porridge with one slice of (dry) unbuttered) bread, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude.

Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • Breakfast over, I sit over the loo once more. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
  • After washing and drying Era, I climb into Karina's car's passenger seat, she kindly helps me with my seatbelt (as she kindly does all day) and then she tootles me off to Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown for my fortnightly shopping trip, finding park along level two.
  • Usually, after grabbing a trolley for us, we begin the trip with a loo trip on level two but today the entrance was barricaded with a sign! Hence why we caught the lift up one level and used the toilets along level three before beginning our shopping.
  • Actually, while Karina found the groceries, I sat outside Coles and posted an update onto  Facebook. When she came back, we began shopping upstairs on  Coles, returned downstairs to New York Baguette where I bought a chocolate bun and then finished grocery shopping @ Woollies.
  • After that lunch followed. Sweet Karina  found a parking spot right outside Ho Lin Wah!
  • Inside I sat down. The waitress  recognised me and came over to try and tell me the set meals but she speaks Cantonese with a dreadful accent  and I had no idea what she was saying!! XD I glanced @ the blackboard, recognised the word for 'pig'  and asked, 'pork'? Phew and then she remembered the other word as mince! XD
  • Karina and I both had the pork in white sauce with rice but I was super-impressed that the dish not only came with carrots, green beans and slices of onion but even slices of BACON! I drank mine with a cold HK-style milk tea and the clever waitress even remembered that Karina always orders a Coke!
  • After lunch, Karina tootles me off to the NAB for physio. Whoops she's silly and takes the wrong exit off the highway. XD
  • But I arrive in good time; after sitting over the loo for one tinkle I head into the gym.
  • My new student's called Lachlan; he's twenty-two coz before physio he studied one year of exercise physiology.
  • Physio today: Sixty sit-to-stands with left weight shift, stepping for Erf with more left weight shift and eight laps hallway walking. Even better, before I left, Lachlan gave me two mini chocolate Fredo frogs! Robyn (I keep confusing her with Monique! >< XD) asked will your mum be okay with this, Em? When I cheekily replied what she don't know won't hurt her she roared with laughter and waved me shoo for the day. XD
    • P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's, read by Andrew and Melissa) for the 112ND time: Arvier, Whyte, Warboys, Bavas, Tate, Gates,  Van GisbergenHerbert, Day (heard), Palaszczuk, Bleijie, Coster, Sookolowsky, Moffat, Green, Lathouris, Hadrian, Inglis, Peat (heard), Kerr, Walters, Kiss, Bell, Albanese,Stokes (heard), Starc (heard), Lambe, Ewing, Toledo (heard), Broad, Head (heard), Djodan, Beros, Labuschagne (heard), Hurndall, Shaddock Willan, Fegan, Farmer, Crean, King, Rice, Butler and Mortimer.

Wednesday Post 366

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've  been hard @ work plodding 2112 steps (ha, I'm over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "God's Grace In Spiritual Gifts"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'A Time 2B Careful' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Slow-Walking Sin Outta The Door' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY MINUTES after I get home from table tennis!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Nature called once @ 2:45am; I also used the pot :P again @ 6:35am when dearest dad walked very thoughtfully silently along the corridor and pulled shut the bathroom door before falling back asleep immediately since I knew he'd leave for work one hour later!
  • Sure enough, one hour later dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently along the hallway again and unpopped the lock into the garage, which awoke me for another pot :P trip. After this second pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*

     

  • After dearest dad kisses me bye, retucks me baxk into bed and leaves for his hard day's work, Pijum and I happily cuddle and anore, 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 room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar 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. ^^

Tuesday Post 365d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 2833. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post, I continued watching the full match replay of the Broncos' game back from Saturday starting from the second half.
  • 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: PIG mum'll help me up, since I've got a late morning appointment to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Bet she's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD
  • Bree's minding me from 12-6 and taking me to play ping pong! Gosh I hope there's cake; there wasn't any last week! XD
  • Haven't heard anything about GG but presuming it's happening since term break's over?
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
    P.S. Every single day has  now managed ONE WHOLE YEAR (365)'s worth of postings! XD

 Good ev4ning again! Em's new plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 2702. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

  • When dearest dad summoned me over for dinner @ 7:20pm, 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 yummy cauliflower, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup tomato, two small chunks of soup pork, five slices of sweet mandarin (each with one seed inside) and after drinking one small bowl of soup, dessert was one DELICIOUS square of crunchy garlic bread!
  • After taking my bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms, else wishing everyone a smashing Wednesday ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 2363. Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

  • Once my most important two hours of the day were up, I used the loo for one tinkle and then headed down to the gobbling :P table to read for one hour and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea @ 5pm. I finished pg. 300 @ 4:29pm, reached pg. 325 @ exactly 5:05pm 
  • PIG  mum didn't come down @ 5pm to give arvoo tea as promised but I thought I'd give her to 5:10pm before calling upstairs for her. Then she came down @ 5:05pm!
  • Arvo tea was two plain rice crackers, one gloopy mouthful of water and one warm mug of Milo. 
  • Before returning online, I used the loo for one more tinkle.
  • Toms: presuming PIG mum'll help me up since she's taking me to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Hopefully she'll take me grocery shopping and aisle walking afterwards, else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
  • Bree's minding me from midday till 6pm and taking me to play table tennis! Fingers crossed there's cake since there wasn't any last week. XD
