Thursday Post 379b

 Heylo again, good evening and one final greeting for today! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for today now stands @ 4359 but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed TEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 137TH time!! Righteo, let's finish with last night's events first!

  • Forgot how many attended last night but Peter Pie led a Bible study from Nehemiah 12:27-43. Then we had cake and ice-cream to celebrate Winston's (31) and Jodie's (19) birthday!
  • After Peter Pie and Yu Lam dropped me back off home, I used the loo for one more tinkle, noted down my final, final plodding total and hit the sack. Zzz~
  • Today: nature called once @ 12:50am; I used the pot :P again around 6:15am 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*
  • At 7:25am, one hour later, PIG mum's daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs wakes me for another tinkle; soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before letting Karina inside @ 7:30am. Karina's experienced: she knocks, opens the door, says good morning and adds hitting the snooze button for fifteen more minutes when I flap one of Pijum's ears @ her. When she comes back, I use the pot :P once for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth before sitting over the loo proper for one tinkle, washing and drying Era and then heading out to the gobbling :P table with Karina, rousing @ her for AGAIN not eating breakfast this morning!
  • My own breakfast was some Weet-Bix 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 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 Karina's car. Thanks to her who helps me buckle my seatbelt (as she does all day) before she tootles me to Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown for my fortnightly shopping trip, doing a sidepark along level two and grabbing a shopping trolley for us.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
    P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 137TH time: Rawlings, Fegan, Whenuaroa, Arvier, Bates, Palaszczuk, Millward, Kohler, Lambe, Crews, Crawford, Sydes, McDowell, Croucher (heard) Albanese, Cass-Gottlieb, Bavas, Marlow, Pearl, Neeley, Piotrowski, Schrinner, Cassidy, Sei (can't spell the whole thing!

 Good afternoon! Firstly, my final, final plodding total for Wednesday's actually 2690 but unfortunately I was really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-ONE MINUTES online >< *sigh*); secondly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4204 steps  (sweet I'm over four grand; that doesn't happen too often!); thirdly, John Piper's daily devotional topic's "Church Growth God's Way" fourthly, TWFT topic's "God's Amazing Love For You" and fifthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Unknown Route' but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after PIG mum gives me arvo tea!! Anyways, let's start off with last night's events first!

  • After watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 136TH time, I wolfed down some rice leftovers for dinner, used the loo for one tinkle and then hopped into the backseat of the 4WD. Dad dropped me off @ Dr. Lee's place for SG and followed me up the stairs.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 379b

 Heylo again and probably one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's probable final, final plodding total  for  Wednesday now stands @ 2017 (ha, I'm just over two grand) but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed ONE  HOUR and THIRTY-ONE MINUTES  online after I get home from     GG tonight!! *sigh* But just noting down that I enjoyed my 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night (nature didn't  call untril 7:05am) and saw Ray for some acupuncture and massage before Bree took me to play table tennis. Toms Karina's taking me for my fortnightly shopping  trip and we'll grab an early lunch from Ho Lin Wah since I've one hour of physio @ the NAB before I watch the Broncos play toms night! Hope everyone's having a lovely week!

Wednesday Post 379

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1276 steps; secondly, Joni's devotional topic from lasr night 'God Has Sth To Say About Tragedies; thirdly, my final, final plodding total from Tuesday's actually 4204 (nice, I'm not over four grand often!); fourthly, John Piper's daily devotional  topic from last night's 'Six Things It Means To Be In Christ Jesus'; fifthly, TWFT  topic's 'Keep A Positive Attitude' and sixthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Freedom On The Path' but seventhly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after I get back from table tennis this arvo!! Anyways, let's start off with last night's events first!

  • Once dearest dad returned home, PIG mum immediately rushed off to play badminton with her mates, while dad immediately ordered me to go sit over the loo and then sit outside the garage awaiting Rebecca's  arrival. I sat over the loo for two tinkles since I knew  she wasn't arriving until 5:30pm and was done I sat in the chair outside my room and started playing with my mobile. Once we heard  Rebecca's car pull into our driveway dad immediately ordered me to get up, but I ignored him, saying please move Sparkless3 into her boot first while I was  still tapping away on Sparkless3. XD
  • Once we're off, traffic runs  smoothly and there aren't any more fiascoes like last week and we arrive promptly, phew! We even get the free parking, yay~
  • But it's another tiny meeting: me, Kate, Neil, Aarunan and Steph, who leaves @ the break! I gave a speech about the ordeal suffered about the meeting last week. XD
  • Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 378

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2629 steps (ha, I'm over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic's "Forgiven For Jesus's Sake"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Trust God, And Do Good' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "When You're Weary". Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:05am and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep because I thought dearest dad would leave for work @ 7:45am, thirty minutes later!
  • Instead, I fell back asleep and wasn't woken again until dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently down the hallway and unpopped the lock into the garage one hour later! 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 dearest dad kisses me goodbye, 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, Pearl, Pijum and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P when PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting the carer's arrival @ 9am.
  • 'Twas Minjum! After she knocks, opens the door, says good morning and fifteen more minutes? Pijum flaps an ear @ her and she leaves, it takes me several minutes to realise it's Minjum. XD So not only have I got terrible facial recognition; even my hearing recognition's dreadful too! XD
  • When Minjum comes back, I use the loo for one tinkle, we get me kitted and I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Minjum, rousing @ her for not eating breakfast this morning.
  • Breakfast was one bowl of Weet-Bix  porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with avocado and 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!
  • Minjum had found a beanie for me, but PIG mum had immediately taken the beanie off and replaced it with a cap when she saw me wearing it. Luckily, she didn't put the beanie far; I just asked Minjum to give it back to me before I climbed into her orange car's passenger seat, she helped me buckle my seatbelt (as she kindly did all day) and tootled me off to Breathe for physio. Since we arrived terribly early, we had time to play on our mobile for like twenty-five minutes before heading inside @ 10:50am.
  • Physio today: 1.862km bike ride, thirty leg curls per leg, 100 sit-to-stands with both hands holding onto Olympic rings and boxing! 
  • Our other stop was Pinelands Plaza. Unfortunately all the disabled parks were already taken and Minjum couldn't find a spot until like halfway down the Plaza! >< 
  • Minjum grabbed a trolley for us; first I bought a box of cheap facial tissues from Coles and then I got my once-weekly bah mi from Aunty Nancy @ Pinelands Bakehouse. Minjum randomly shouted me a Vietnamese iced coffee and OMG - AMAZEBALLS!! I prolly just liked the condensed milk. XD
  • Back home, I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Minjum who helped me rinse my hair  out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, I headed out to the gobbling :P table amunched my delicious crackling pork salad roll for lunch plus one mug of green tea that Aunty Nga gave me.
  • Minjum had me sign her off and she left two minutes early; next time I'll make sure it's 2pm before I sign her off!
  • Lunch finished, I sat over the loo for two tinkles and then plopped online.
  • Rebecca has PROMISED to get me to Toastmasters tonight; hope the traffic's cleared up! 
  • Toms: seeing Ray for some massage and acupuncture; bet PIG mum's simply DYING tto yap unceasingly @ him. XD
  • Will prolly go grocery shopping with her before returning home else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
  • Bree's taking me to play table tennis this arvo; hope there's cake!
  • Looking forward to watching the 6pm bulletin for the 136TH time, wolfing down dinner and then attending GG (presuming it's happening)!
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a lovely day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Monday Post 278c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3642. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post, I e-mailed Southside Opthamology asking would they please provide a chair for the student and then I just Facebooked.
  • At 9pm, I walked myself oonce 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. She'll take me to Breathe for physio with Eric and then fingers crossed PIG mum'll lemme buy a bahn mi for lunch after we buy groceries for her @ Pinelands Coles.
  • Looking forward to spending my moost important two hours of the day and hopefully reading for one hour before Rebecca takes me to Toastmasters! Lol she's PROMISED to get me to Toastmasters promptly ... XD
  • But most importantly: TOMORROW'S THE PARENTS 39TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!!! When Lena helps me up I'll ask her to find the presents again since I've already forgotten where Rebecca stashed therm. XD
  • Yay for getting some Maccas fordinner, never mind that Unhappy Meals were what I ate surely @  LEAST THREE DECADES ago!! *sigh*
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Monday Post 278b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3583 (ha, I'm just over 3.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Aim To Finish Well'. Righteo, continuing events for today?

  • Anyways, nothing's changed and I'll see him same time next year.
  • Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle and then sat down @ the gobbling :P table, where PIG mum fed me one tuna toastie with one slice of cheese and one mug of green tea for lunch. Yay, dearest dad came back home and ate with me~
  • I used the loo for one more tinkle and climbed back into the backseat of PIG mum's car. She tootled me to somewhere along Daw Rd. to see Aunty Anna for some massage and acupuncture.
  • Again, PIG mum's incessant yapping @ Aunty Anna made me fall asleep but phew, @ least I didn't snore. XD
  • Back home, I used the loo for one more tinkle and then plopped online.
  • Thanks to PIG mum who let Rebecca inside when she announced her arrival precisely @ 4pm, thus saving me from a potentially dangerous trip to the front door myself.
  • So a nice hot shower for me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Rebecca who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted I headed out to the gobbling :P table for arvo  tea and sent Rebecca to find where the parents' wedding anniversary present was hidden. Only she couldn't find it; I ended up walking to my bedroom, sitting on the bed and directing her search until she found  it. XD Then I wrote out the card for them but can't remember where she hid it; will haveta ask Lena toms for help. XD
  • I happily read The Book  Of Abraham for one hour, reaching pg. 222 @ 4:54pm and pg. 225 @ 5:01. Then I happily played Jewel Quest for ten minutes, used the loo for two more tinkles and signed Rebecca off with my thanks and byes. She's PROMISED she'll get me to Toastmasters toms but doesn't wanna follow the advice Neil gave ... ? XD
  • Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 135TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
  • When the parents summoned me over for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. 

  •  Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy cauliflower, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup carrot, some fish and two slices of yummy chicken.
  • Dinner was spooned down with one boowl of soup; after taking my bowl to the sink I  walked myself slowly and safely back online, again  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms else wishing everyone a smashing Tuesday ahead!
    Cheers,
  • Em. ^^

Monday Post 278

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2734 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last week's 'Jesus Will Trample All Our Enemies'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Pray For The Desire To Forgive' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional' topic's 'Losing Everything' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-THREE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 135TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Nature ended my awesome sleep streak @ 12:45am; I used the pot :P again @ 6:20am 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 happiness was snoring soundly with Pearl and Pijum unyl dearest dad  very thoughtfully walks silently along the hallway and unpops the lock into the garage @ 7:45am before waking again for the pot :P.
  • After dearest dad has kissed me bye, retucked me back  into bed, pretended to suck Pearl's SEVEN pearls, laughed his head off when Pearl bodsy slammed him for the cheek, Pearl, Pijum and I all happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P shortlky before PIG mum begins her noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help 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 minutes more minutes first.
  • PIG mum returns to finish with 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 one bowl of Weet-Bix 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.

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.

See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
  • After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's 4WD and buckle my seatbelt. Ahe gets in too and then tootles me off to Brisbane Opthamology for my once-yearly checkup with  Dr. Vu! Right from the start, she ignored the GPS and took a wrong  turn; I thought we may be in for a long morning ... XD
  • Kudos to PIG mum who got us there and only ignored three directioons! XD
  • I used the bathroom once on arrival but it's very unaccessible: you've gotta haul yourself up three stairs, so obviously there's no handrail. 
  • Dr. Vu had a student with him today; the poor boy had to stand coz I had the patient chair, he had the doctor chair and mother had the last chair! I wanted to suggest to their page please provide students with seating but can't seem to find a way for written contact with them?
    Cheers,

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 after only 10% but happily leaned fully against the right-side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling PIG mum back.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted our once-weekly family dinner was @ Ho Lin Wah  since I'd hurt Elf's ankle slightly walking longer than usual so PIG mum told dad just have dinner somewhere close to the entrance.
  • They had Hokkien noodles for the set meal! Wasn't too bad either; much better than the limp affair BIRU used too serve. XD
  • Bumped into Yu Lam once I'd climbed back into the car!

  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!

  • At 1:55pm I went and sat over the loo for two more tinkles. Usually that takes less than five minutes; either Peggy asked PIGF mum to sign her off first/PIG mum shooed her away. I', betting the latter.
  • Tiff and Felicity arrived to give Ela one hour of unfunctional hand exercises. Next week, we're making quiche! 
  • When they left, 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 finish her afternoon nap and come gimme some arvo tea.
  • She eventually came down; for arvo tea, I munched one plateful of yummy, sliced strawberries, half a flavoured rice cake.
  • After sitting over the loo for two tinkles I plopped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 133RD time! All the things I like recording are  in the previous post.
  • When the parents summoned me over for dinner, I used the loo for  one tinkle and then  walked  myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa turnip, lotsa yummy cauliflower and several wee chunks of pork.
  • Dinner was washed down with one cup of water; 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.
  • Anyways, 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 week plus what's happening toms else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Friday Post 278b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 1429 (so certain I'll have cracked 1.5 grand before the night's out XD) but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-ONE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 133RD time!! Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

  • Sure enough, dearest dad very thoughtfully walking silently along the hallway and unpopping the lock into the garage wakes 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*
  • After dearest dad kisses me bye, retucks me back into bed, pretends to suck Pearl's SEVEN pearls, laughs his head off when Pearl body slams him for the cheek and leaves for his hard day's work, Pearl, Pijum and I all happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit with the eye goo then going back outside and awaiting Peggy's arrival @ 9am.
  • Once Peggy arrives, she knocks, opens the door and says good morning. When I flap Pijum's ear @ her, she asks fifteen more minutes and wisely leaves after another ear flap. Thankfully I'm given the whole fifteen minutes, since Pijum's anatomically incompatible @ giving the Bear Bum! XD
  • When Peggy comes back, I swing myself over to the pot :P for three more tinkles and we both share how we've been for the three weeks we've not seen each other. After we get me kitted I head over 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 withnPeggy.
  • Breakfast is one bowl of Weet-Bix porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly smeared 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, she kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt and then tootles me off to Garbo to get my new specs!
  • At Bupa optical, the female employee gets my new specs for me - she's Hmong! While she's taken my old pair away to fix the ear tips, suddenly Rico arrives! He says hi to me but since I'm not wearing my glasses anymore I can't see who he is until he shoves his face so close to mine we're nearly touching noses! XD
  • Rico takes over my glasses case; when he says I'll fix these you come back thirty minutes later I was super-grateful that PIG mum and Peggy had the foresight to put Sparkless3 into the boot coz I was busting! After one loo trip, we brought groceries from ALDI and then best of all, Peggy took me WINDOWSHOPPING around Garbo! There aren't anymore Minion tees @ JayJays but there's this really cute Pikachu one!
  • Forgot to mention: on the front desk of Bupa was a lil bowl of Mentos; Peggy nicked handfuls and fed me FIVE! XD
  • Groceries  bought and new specs picked up,  Peggy tootled me home and I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. 
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Friday Post 278

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1213 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Message Of Creation'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'You Only Have Two Options: Forgiveness/Bitterness; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'What A Friend' and fifthly, the spam count for the week's ten (ha, the spam count reached double digits XD) but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-SIX MINUTES  online after Tiff comes and gives Ela a session of OT!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like I'd done every Thursday night while saying my nightly prayers before hitting the sack, I asked God please DON'T send that noisy garbage truck THUNDERING down our road to collect bins until AFTER the Sun has risen sufficiently for me to see the time from the clock on the wall, but God goes screw you and sends that garbage truck THUNDERING down BEFORE the Sun has fully risen! @ least the sky had started lightening and two can play @ that game. Since God ignored me, I just ignored Him right back and successfully fell back asleep without any accident. I'm never tried to win God; that's impossible! I just didn't let Him win. Case in point.
  • Actually I snored happily all the way until 6:45am; when dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silenttly down the hallway and slid the bathroom door closed @ 6:45am; after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since I knew he'd leave for work less than one  hour later!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Thursday Post 278c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @  2726. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post, I chatted with Alison, Facebooked, listened to Thursday night football and just surfed the net in general.
  • 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 always say, a very little's better than none!
  • Toms: Peggy's back from her annual leave! PIG mum says I can go get my new specs from Bupa Optical before buying groceries.
  • Tiff's coming toms arvo and giving Ela one hour of unfunctional exercises.
  •  Fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 133RD time!
  • Will dad insist I watch half the  Queensland derby? Don't mind who wins.
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a lovely end to the week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Thursday Post 378b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for tonight now stands @ 3602 (ha, I'm over 2.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's daily devotional topic's "There's A Plan." Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

  • 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 climbing into Karina's car's passenger seat, she kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt (as she does all day) and then tootles me off to the Garbo library for GCCW.
  • After I use the loo for one tinkle, I enter meeting room one and grab my usual spot. Karina leaves to buy groceries for PIG mum.
  • Seven people attended today; Rob says I write good diary entries?
  • Thanks to Mary who helped me once to the disabled loo @ morning tea and thanks to Sattya who got me some morning tea.
  • Homework for next week's write only dialogue and there's three weeks until the next meeting coz there's a 5th Thursday this month!
  • After another loo trip Karina tootled me off to somewhere to get my kebab with chips/gyros. Tasted delicious but I spilt food EVERYWHERE. >< XD
  • My new student for the next five week's Candace and she's only twenty-one! Physio today:  Reaching for both hands, weight bearing for barefoot Elf, thirty sit-to-stands, twenty mini squats and stomping for Erf so left weight shift.
  • I thought I was coming back toms 10-12 but Sonia says no, you're only coming once weekly this block? Then how will I get to hike the Great Court and get the Scottish lady  (Elaine) to keep her pinky promise and shout me a hot drink?
  • Back home, I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Karina who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, I head back outside and PIG mum gives me fruit plus one mug of packet instant HK-style milk tea.
  • At 4pm, I sign Karina off with my thanks and byes. After I use the loo for one tinkle I pop online and happily watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 132ND time.  Awful PIG mum sticks a cushion behind me to make me uncomfortable; she was chucking such a cow @ me now I have a headache. >< The parents start dinner first just before the sports report.
  • Once the news ends, I use the loo for one tinkle and then walk myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. 

  • Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy cauliflower, several huge chunks of sweet soup carrot, a few chunks of pork and one slice of crumbed fish which I obviously save for last.
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink 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.
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl after  one last loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today,  the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening Friday else wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Thursday Post 278

 Good afternoon! Firstly, my final, final plodding total for Wednesday's actually 4072 (ha, I'm over four grand; that doesn't happen too often! XD); secondly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2366 steps; thirdly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's "God Isn't A Idolater'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'How To Protect Your Family' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Openhearted Generosity' but fifthly and way most  importantly, I'm really owed FORTY MINUTES after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 132ND time!! Cripes I'm really behind events, let's quickly cover what happened Tuesday night first!

  • Suddenly Ava's car battery dies! Ava curses saying she'd seen the warning light come on when she was driving along the highway; she thought she had time to get me dinner @ Maccas and get me home for fixing her car; she didn't know it'd perish that quickly! o_O
  • Two tradies immediately rush over; Ava takes the handbrakes off and  they push her car off the lane and into a park. Ava calls for roadside assist while I ring CODA on-call and tell Michelle what's happening.
  • Roadside assist arrives, lifts the bonnet and inspects Ava's car before telling her it's not the battery; you need a tow. AAva rings for the tow and we're told there';; be a sixty-ninety minute wait. I message YA, saying I'll definitely not make it to and then I ring Michelle and tell her know what's happening. Ava says she'll call an Uber home and I'm like what about me? She says I'll call you one home too but I say haven't you heard all those creepy stories where single women catch an Uber but never get home coz they get raped and killed?? Michelle roars with laughter and Ava says she'll ride home with  me before going home herself. We then ring Maccas for UberEats and I ring dad to let him know what's happening since PIG mum doesn't pick up. Instead, dad says he'll come  pick me up! Luckily Maccas arrives first and I quickly scoff  it all down before dad arrives. XD Now, just quickly, Wednesday's events!
  • Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep! Nature didn't call until 6:20am~
  • Saw Ray for some acupuncture and massage.
  • Went grocery shopping with PIG mum @  Calamvale Central
  • Played table tennis and munched a slice of birthday cake!
  • Showered and then had pizza for dinner @ church to celebrate the feast  of tabernacles; some peoples actually erected a tent and we all sat inside to sing and share!
  • Dr Lee dropped me home afterwards~
  • Today: yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:20am when dearest dad very considerately walked silently  along the hallway and pulled the bathroom door shut; after one pot :P trip I immediately feell back asleep since I knew PIG mum would get very noisy one hour later!
  •  Like clockwork, noisy PIG mum beginning her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs awakens 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. After she lets Karina inside @ 7:30am, Karina knocks, pushes the door open, says good morning and after I flap Pijum;s ear @ her, says  hitting the snooze button for fifteen more minutes. After another earflap, she wisely removes herself but dares to return two minutes early! Pijum flaps his ear angrily @ her and I demand 120 more seconds and luckily, Karina doesn't argue. XD
  • When she comes back, I use the pot :P for @ least three more tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who squirts me some toothpaste. Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Karina, AGAIN rousing @ her for not eating breakfast!
  • For breakfast, I have some Weet-Bix 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*

    P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletins (Nine's) for the 132ND time: Putin (heard), Greer, Watkins, Salmon, Millward, Palaszczuk, Whiting, Cannon (heard), Berkman, Crisafulli, Katter, Arvier, Stowers, Lumsden (heard), Murakami, Tate, Inglis, Liddington, Rhodes, Croucher, Chalmers (heard), Sparrow, Tooth, Prigozhin, Biden, Yankina, Olivana (first name), Lathouris, Rappoport, Greenbank (heard), Fentiman, Baldwin, Lambe, Portman Phelps, Moon, Meyer, Joyce, Bavas, Malka (first name), Leifer, Tevita (first name), Pangai, Tazyu *heard), Yallop, Trump, Heard (heard) and Rich. 64.77USc = 1AUD.

Wednesday Post 278

 Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total from Wednesday's 2581 (ha, I'm  just over 2.5 grand XDQ); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Pleased To Praise'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'All You Need To Know' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Witnesses' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and     FORTY-THREE MINUTES online after I get back home tonight!! Anyways, just briefly, let's start with yesterday's events first!

  • Knowing that Ava was gonna be ten minutes late, originally I wasn't gonna head over to the front door and wait till 5:35pm but dad still demanded I be seated by the front door by 5:30pm? No biggie, I just sat and played with my mobile for ten minutes~
  • When QAva arrived, dad hurried me into her car and put Sparkless3 into her boot then waved us off.
  • Unfortunately, traffic was DREADFUL! Not only that, by the time we finally reached QUT, suddenly all traffic stopped? I rang QUT security asking but was told BCC closed a road; complain to them, the speaker told me.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 473

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2134 steps (sweet, I'm over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'An Unshakably Happy God'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Pray For Wisdom (4)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Eternal Church". Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:50am, when dearest dad very considerately walked silently down the hallway and unpopped the lock leading into the garage 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*
  • After dearest dad kisses me bye, pretends to suck Pearl's SEVEN pearls, laughs his head off when Pearl body slams him for the cheek and leaves for his hard day's work, Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P when noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room too hit me with the eye goo, before going back outside and awaiting Lena's arrival @ 9am.
  • PIG mum lets Lena inside when she announces her arrival @ 9am. Lena knocks, pushes open the door, says good morning and when I nod Pearl @ her asks fifteen more minutes? When Pearl gives another nod, she thankfully removes herself; phew, because Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
  • When Lena comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle and then we get me kitted. When I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth Lena empties the commode for me, and after brushing teeth, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Lena.
  • Breakfast is one bowl of cereal porridge with one slice of toast very thinly smeared with strawberry jam (coz we're outta 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*
  • 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 Rix's passenger seat. Thanks to Lena who helps me buckle my seatbelt (as she does all day) before tootling me off to Breathe for physio. Since we arrive so early, I get like twenty-five minutes to play with my mobile before we head inside @ 10:50am. It takes me five minutes to walk from her car into the clinic, BTW~
  • Physio today: 2.048km bike ride 36 rows for Ela while kneeling, boxing and transferring from Mat to beach several times. I discovered that I have really sh*tty balance while kneeling; had not Eric been beside me to catch me every time I toppled sideways I'd have faceplanted numerous times! o_O
  • After physio, Lena tootled us off to Pinelands Plaza and grabbed a trolley for us before we bought groceries from Coles.
  • Our other stop was Pinelands Bakehouse, where I bought my once-weekly crackling pork salad roll from Aunty Lisa and called hello to Aunty Nancy.
  • Back home, I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Lena who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was my delicious crackling pork salad roll plus one huge mug of delicious Chinese tea. Lena cleaned the bathroom and then ate her lunch: whatever she found from the fridge this morning and tossed together. XD
  • I sat over the loo for two more tinkles before plopping online. Unsure why PIG mum signed Lena off and shooed her away before 2pm, but hey. She's back same time next week.
  • I rang CODA - Ava's taking me to Toastmasters tonight! 
  • Looking forward to getting some dinner from Maccas tonight - never mind that UnHappy meals were what I ate surely MORE THAN THREE DECADES ago!! *sigh*
  • Toms: seeing Ray for some massage and acupuncture @ 11am. Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD Will prolly go grocery shopping with her afterwards.
  • Have asked PIG mum to please ring CODA and find out who's taking me to table tennis toms arvo since Bree can't.
  • Must remember to remind dad to please put my picnic chair in the boot because for SG toms night we're observing  the festival of tents but I've asked and gotten permission to bring my picnic chair along since I'm not comfortable with getting oon the floor  unless someone will pull me back upright afterwards ...
  • Oh, must also remember to send GCCW homework around!
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Monday Post 473d

 Good evening again! Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2857. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

  • When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner @ 7:19pm, 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 cauliflower, lotsa choko, lotsa some vegetable I've since forgotten, one slice of halibut, one mouthful of very chewy beef and two tiny slices of fried egg.
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked  myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • Righteo, 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!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Monday Post 473c

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total now stands @ 2138 (ha, I'm over two grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "God's Twists And Turns". Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

  • Thanks to PIG mum eho let Rebecca inside when she announced her arrival five minutes early, thus saving me from a potentially dangerous trip to the front door myself.
  • So a nice hot shower for  me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Rebecca who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

Monday Post 473b

 Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for today! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 1203. Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

  • Yay, awesome sleep last night and not only that, 'twas my second best for the year! Nature didn't call until 8:05am, when dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently along the hallway and unpopped the lock leading into the garage; 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*
  • After dearest dad kisses me bye, pretends to suck Pearls SEVEN pearls, laughs his head off when Pearl body slams him for the cheek and leaves for his hard day's work, Pearl and I cuddle and snore for about another hour, me waking once more for the pot :P before PIG mum begins her usual daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit mw with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with only 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 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 was one bowl of Weet-Bix 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 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. PIG mum tootles me off to Vincent the physio's place to see Aunty Anna for some massage and acupuncture.
  • Inside, I lie down and get a comfy massage from Aunty Anna. No acupuncture today, coz Aunty Anna says it's not suitable while I'm having my monthlies. PIG mum happily yapped her head off to Aunty Anna; despite my telling her it's her hour to talk and nobody will interrupt her, she couldn't control her excitement and repeated oone word five times before moving on. XD Next week, I'll see Aunty Anna along Daw Rd. somewhere; apparently Vincent's rented out the space to someone new!
  • Aww, dearest dad waited for us to get home before going back  to work~ A kiss and cuddle from him, one tinkle in the loo from me and then I plopped online briefly before PIG mum summoned me over to the gobbling :P table.
  • Lunch was one yummy tuna with corn and mayo toastie with one slice of cheese added plus one delicious mug of Chinese tea. Happiness was playing with my mobile over lunch since PIG mum was being anti-social and watching YouTube. XD
  • Originally PIG mum said this arvo she take me to Bupa Optical to get my new specs which are ready but first she rang to check Rico was @ work today - but turns out the poor man's sick! o_O Luckily, since I don't require the glasses urgently, we'll try again next Monday.
  • Instead, 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.
  • Rebecca's minding me from 4-6; while I'm reading for one hour I'll ask her to open all those Disney cards that some aunty from church  got for me!
  • Looking forward to watching the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 131ST time!
  • Toms: Lena's minding me from 9-2 and taking me to Breathe for physio with Eric.  Wonder will there be any new UQ students?
  • Fingers crossed PIG mum'll lemme get my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse after we buy groceries from Coles.
  • After enjoying my most important two hours of the day online I'll head over to the gobbling :P table and read for one hour because Rebecca's taking me to Toastmasters toms night! Looking forward to bringing back some dinner from Maccas, never mind that Unhappy Meals were what I had @ LEAST THREE DECADES ago!! *sigh*
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl after dinner, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Sunday Post 473c

 Good evening and probably one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's probable final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2288 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Jars And Boxes'. Righteo, probable final, final events for tonight?

  • Sorry, it wasn't Jacinta that came @ 6pm, but Bree! XD
  • Took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Bree who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted I sat over the loo for one tinkle while Bree cleaned the bathroom; after that, I climbed into her car and she tootled us off to Ho Lin Wah for dinner!
  • Being Sunday night, the place was packed! In the end, Bree found a park across the road outside the fruit shop, we linked arms and walked inside together.
  • Sweet Set B tonight was the Vietnamese-style pork chop with a fried egg in rice! We both ordered that; Bree tried hers with a cold HK-style milk tea and I had mine with a cold HK-style milk tea coffee. I've converted Bree to that stuff; she loved the drink so much she immediately Googled how to make it!
  • Afterwards, we linked arms, walked back to her car and Bree tootled us home. I use the loo for one tinkle on arrival and then plopped back online.
  • The parents arrived home @ 8:57pm; one minute later, PIG mum had signed Bree off alreadsy and shooed her away. She's not back next Wednesday but the roster still has her on; will need  to contact Michelle toms/
  • Toms: Rebecca's minding me from 9-2. Actually, that's what the roster says but PIG mum goes no, I've changed that for 4-6; I'm taking you to see Aunty Anna toms morning. Well I bet she's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ Anna; me, I should be able to stay awake coz it's still morning. XD
  • Hopefully PIG mum'll take me grocery shopping and aisle walking afterwards else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
  • Looking foorward to reading the Book Of Abraham for one hour and fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 131ST time!
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Sunday Post 473b

 Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Unsure if I should have said good evening because Google says that the sun should have set already but the sky is not totally dark yet? Anyways,  Em's potential final,  final plodding total for Sunday now stands at 1232. Lol, I really should shove the chair back, take two steps forward and sit back down,  yeah? 1234 looks cooler! XD  But just noting that after using the loo for one tinkle,  I sat down at the gobbling :P table,  grabbed The Book Of Abraham and started reading it for one hour! I reached pg twenty-five at exactly 5pm; after fantasy and science fiction,  historical fiction is my third love ~ Waiting for Jacinta to come at 6pm so I can shower and then go out and have dinner with her at Ho Lin Wah while the parents party at SCSC! Righteo,  hopefully bbl tonight else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead ~

Cheers, 

Em. ^^

Sunday Post 473

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1112 steps (aww, 1111; one fewer step would've looked cooler but phew I'm over one thousand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'What The Resurrection Means For Us'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Pray For Wisdom (2)'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Finding Open Spaces' and fifthly, the spam count for the week's only nine (couldn't make double digits this week, sorry! XD) but sixthly, the spam count for the weekend's still zero! Anyways, events for today?

  • Nature called once around 12:45am; I used the pot :P again around 7:20am, when awoken by noisy PIG mum's a-THUMPING around upstairs, 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*
  • Shortly afterwards, PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with not only the bra strap but the tee (since dearest dad's @ home) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first. 
  • PIG mum returns to finish with Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, 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) 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.

See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
  • After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of dad's 4WD and buckle my own seatbelt. Dad climbs in tooo and then tootles me off to our table tennis club in Windsor for our competition!
  • We make good time; @ the place, I transfer over to Sparkless3, visit the loo once and then head into the main playing area! Dad and I say hello to Kim before dad drage me off to go practise with him.
  • Kim introduces all the teams and then we start! I manage to win my first game against Gerrard; he's the one I say reminds me of Mr.  Ballam Cross! The secobd game I lost to Jo; she's the high-functioning down's syndrome girl and I think we're prettily evenly matched. She won the first set, I won the second but she took out the third in a tiebreaker. As for my third match, some girl called Breanna (nicknamed Breezy) flogged me in straight sets! >< o_O XD
  • For lunch, we munch healthy salad rolls. Thanks to dad who took the bleeding beetroot outta mine. XD The butter was nice, though!
  • For doubles, I was played with Gerrard; we lost the first match and won the second but before we had time to play the decider dad said we've gotta go! He didn't wanna be late for badminton and arvo tea with his mates, see.
  • Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle and popped online. Dearest  dad went out and PIG mum hit pigland upstairs.
  • Once I've used up my most important two hours of the day I'll head over to the gobbling :P table and wait for PIG mum to wake up, come downstairs and feed me some arvo tea. Only I remember she says don't shower until Bree arrives @ 6pm? She and dad are  having dinner  @ SCSC with their badminton mates but Bree and are are eating @ Ho Lin Wah!
  • Toms: perhaps expect a super-pissy plodding total from me, unless PIG mum takes mev grocery shopping and aisle walking?
  • Think I'm seeing Aunty Anna for some massage in the arvo ... bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ her. XD
  • Oh, Rebecca's minding me 9-2; wonder where PIG mum will send us?
  • Hoping to read for one hour and fingers crossed I'll get to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 131ST time!
  • Anyways, hoopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^ 

Saturday Post 473c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3645. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post, I happily played Jewel Quest for just over forty minutes! The parents are watching YouTube; I think they think I'm watching Saturday night NRL (St. George vs. Storm) coz I've left it playing. XD
  • At 9pm, I walked myself slowly and safely once more to the loo for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • Toms: instead of attending church, dearest dad's taking me to my second-ever para table tennis comp! Kim's already asked him to umpire again; wonder will he play doubles and win the comp again? XD
  • There are pork and chicken salad rolls available for lunch but personally I'm hoping dad will take me to Maccas coz I've not had any chips yet!
  • But mostly I'm pissed since the parents are ditching me toms night to have dinner out with their mates! Apparently someone's  minding me 6-9 and originally PIG mum said we could have dinner @ Ho Lin Wah but when I asked dad did he remember how many family dinners out he owed us (he's said before if I remind him he'll make sure he'll never fulfill them and PIG mum says we're only allowed one meal out per week since we're poor (THREE, BTW) dad got mad and suddenly decided I'd eat home after all? >< *sigh*
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day ttoms~
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 Heylo again and good evening! Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3546. See? Told you I'd crack 3.5 grand! XD Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

  • After sitting over the loo for two tinkles, I walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • When the parents summoned me over for dinner, I used the loo for another tinkle before joining them @ bthe gobbling :P table. Thanks to PIG mum who helped me with a pad change first.
  • Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy wombok, some halibut, two wee slices of cheese and one delicious dumpling, which 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.
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl after oone more loo trip with my final, final plodding total for Saturday, the final, final events for toonight plus what's happening Sunday else wishing everyone a smashing Sunday ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 473

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3401 steps (so will surely have cracked 3.5 grand before the night's out XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Hope To Obey Hard Commands'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Pray For Wisdom (1)'; fourthly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Friendship Has A Purpose' and fifthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Power Of Christ' but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-THREE MINUTES  online after dinner tonight!! Anyways, events for today?

  •  Sheesh, you'd think having my monthlies right now would guarantee me an awesome night's sleep but no, nature called @ like 6:45am ... *sigh*
  • When nature called again after the Sun rose, 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 that, Pearl and I happily cuddled and snored until PIG mum began her daily noisy a-THUMPING around. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Mel's arrival. While waiting for 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*

  • When Mel announces her arrival, PIG mum lets her inside and then opens my bedroom door to announce fifteen more minutes. I just nod Pearl @ her and they both thankfully disappear.

  • After counting down my fifteen more minutes, I call to Mel that I'm hungry and swing myself around to the pot :P for one more tinkle. We get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth, drink one mug of water and then sit over the loo proper. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

  • After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Mel who says PIG mum told her to fry me an egg for breakfast. I ring PIG mum and ask are we outta ham? PIG mum screeches no, that since she retired dad doesn't cook breakfast for us anymore on Saturday. Anyways, Mel was a champion who gave me TWO cheese and buttered the toast for me~ I also read for thirty minutes first up, reaching pg. 300 @ 11:12am and enjoyed two big mugs of white tea with two teaspoonfuls of sugar, since PIG mum decreed that I was only allowed one in the arvo..While Mel closed  and locked windows, I used the loo for one more tinkle and then climbed into the passenger seat of Mel's car. Thanks to Mel who helped me buckle my seatbelt all day.

  • At Calamvale Central, Mel parked outside Cha Time and grabbed a trolley for us.

  •     Our first stoop was Woolies where I bought one box of cheap facial tissues. Actually, I asked the mature check out chic could she please round up to $30 and slip me one pack; she said sure!! :D I vaguely remember PIG mum bagging me out for asking; she said I was endangering the job of the employee but I didn't note down the employee's name nor what  time I bought it... 

  • Our other stop was the sushi place, where I picked a teriyaki salmon inari for arvo tea!
  • Back home, I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Mel who helps me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted I head out to the gobbling :P table, where Mel reheats the rice leftovers dad left me for lunch with  added oyster sauce and I drink my last big mug of white tea while she goes back and cleans the bathroom.
  • At 1:40pm I sit over the loo once more for two tinkles and @ 1:45 Mel tootles me off to church to play table tennis with dearest dad. He meets us on the ramp, immediately signs her off and shooes her away. She's back same time next week.
  • Someone/someones were already using our usual playing room; instead, dad walked with me all the way into the downstairs building, where someone had setup one table @ the very end. I  was content to stay there and play the afternoon away but after dad and I played one session together, he ordered me to hike all the way back to our usual room to keep playing. Still, we had fun~
  • Afterwards, dad tootled me home, I used the loo for one tinkle and then headed down to the gobbling :P table and munched my delicious teriyaki salmon inari plus one mug of yummy peppermint tea. I also read for 2.25 hours, because it's only Saturday when I get the chance to read for a blessed three hours~ I reached pg. 325 @ 3:44pm, reached pg. 333 @ exactly 3:35pm, reached pg. 350 @ 4:26pm, reached pg. 375 @ 5:01pm - bbl!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^

  • Once I'd used up my two most important hours of the day online, I used  the loo for one tinkle and headed down to the gobbling :P table, asking PIG mum for some arvo  tea since I'm gonna read for one hour.
  • PIG mum hands me one mouthful of gloopy passionfruit, half a flavoured rice cracker and one huge mug of peppermint tea. I happily read the  book club novel for one hour, finishing pg. 275 @ exactly 5:25pm!
  • After one more tinkle I'd just plopped online and was about to watch the 6pm news when dad demanded I watch from the television  and then took my mobile away! I protested I was gonna note down all the interesting surnames, etc. hence he  handed me a small notebook and a  pencil, meaning I've now gotta waste time transcribing all the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news (Seven's) for the 130TH time: *sigh* Parkinson, Thorpe (heard), Bird (heard), Stone, Costi, Gyte, Kerr, Carpenter, Infantino, Macpherson, Dymock, Campbell, Albanese, Marles, Wright, Wade, Farrow, Whop, Palaszczuk, , King, Crisafulli, Jensen, Hunt, Cosgrove, Abate, Titmus, Tate, Balme, A'Bear, Kefu (first name), Cannon, Melanesiot (first name), Treman, Ceccon, Dante (first name), Gustavsson, Walters 9heard), Haas, Cleary, Lenihab, Starcevich and Kadak. Alissa Smith read  the sports report and Tony Auden read the weather report from the Ekka! Brisbane was twenty-six @ time of him previewing  the weather report and was 17-23 today. Brisbane toms: 12-22; Mt. Gravatt toms: 9-22. Sunrise 6:15am Sunset 5:29pm. Telstra shares rose four cents @ four bucks!
  • The parents started dinner without me; once the news was over 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 cauliflower, lotsa sweet soup carrot, some leftover fish, one chunk of yummy, crumbed fish and two delicious dumplings!
  • Dinner was spooned doown with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl 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.
  • When nature randomly called  @ 8pm, I walked myself slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl shortly after 9pm qfter one  last tinkle 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!

Friday Post 470

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3071 steps (ha, I'm just over three grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'What It Means To Bless The Lord'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Overcoming Temptation'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Festivals Of Worship' and fifthly, the spam count for the week's just seven. Anyways, events for   today?

  • Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't caall until 7am and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since I knew PIG mum would get VERY noisy less than one hour later!
  • Like clockwork, PIG mum noisily going a-THUMPING around upstairs @ 7:50am wakes 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*
  • After PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo, she goes back outside and awaits Catherine's arrival. Once she lets Catherine in, she opens my room door and says fifteen more minutes. I flap Pijum's ear @ her and they both leave me in peace. Oh, BTW, my monthlies arrived this morning.
  • When Catherine comes back, I use the pot :P for oone more tinkle before 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 Catherine, who's five years younger than me.
  • Breakfast is one bowl of Weet-Bix porridge, my yummy custard bun (PIG mum originally 'forgot' it; luckily I didn't!) all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Thanks to Catherine 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 the passenger seat of Catherine's car, she kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt and then tootles me off to UQ for physio, stopping @ the petrol station on Logan Rd. and refueling her car first.
  • Only the traffic suddenly slows and stops? Unsure what the problem was, but @ five to I ring the NAB and ask reception to please let someone know that I'm coming but will arrive late.
  • Phew I only arrive about five minutes late. My last session with Monika: Reaching for Era with barefoot Elf weight bearing, seventy sit-to-stands with left weight shift, reaching for Ela and hiked one lap around the Great Court!
  • After I sit over the loo for two more tinkles, Catherine tootles me home and I take a nice  hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Catherine who helps me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, I head  out to the gobbling :P and Cqatherine makes me a canned tuna with tomato and onion toastie with TWO cheese and a mug of white tea. Unfortunately she can't find the sweetener and forgets the butter, but hey. XD
  • When the parents get home, I sign Catherine off with my thanks and byes. Unsure when she's back next.
  • Once I've used up the most important two hours of the day I'll use the loo for one tinkle and then head over to the gobbling :P table and read for one   hour.
  • Fingers crossed that I can watch the 6pm news for the 130TH and dad will take us out for dinner somewhere tonight!
  • Will ring CODA after I get offline and ask Michelle who's minding me 10-2 toms.
  • Looking  forward to playing table tennis with dearest dad @ church~
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead! 
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
