 Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for today! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3270. See? Told you I'd crack three grand! XD Righteo, potential final, final events for Sunday?

• Once I used up the most important two hours of my day I headed over to the gobbling :P table and asked PIG mum would she please feed me some arvo tea? I'm gonna read for one hour.
• The huge mug of Chinese tea was delicious but unfortunately I got only several chunks of juicy pear and no rice crackers afterwards. Reason? I bought you a packet of chips, says PIG mum. Yeah, but you'll only gimme piss little ... >< *sigh*
• But I happily read The Book Of Abraham for one hour, reaching pg. 300 @ exactly 3:50am.
• One more loo trip and tinkle for me before I returned online.
• Waiting for PIG mum to finish her arvo nap, come down and lemme go shower; can I fit dinner in tonight before the grand final or should I wait till after??

Sunday Post 387

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2924 steps (so certain I'll have exceeded 3000 before the night's out XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Most Liberating Discovery'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'S.T.R.E.S.S (1)'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Elegant Design' and fourthly, the entire spam count from the 18th's like forty-two. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:55am and after one pot :P trip I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Around 7:15am PIG mum lets herself into my room after her usual daily a-THUMPING around upstairs and hits me with the eye goo. Instead of helping me with the bra strap, she instead gives me a crop top to put on? Lol, I didn't know that I own that few bras I'm reduced to crop tops after less than one long weekend away! XD
• After giving myself fifteen more minutes I get myself mostly independently kitted. PIG mum comes back to finish with just 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 small bowl of Weet-Bix porridge, 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 bathroom, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my seatbelt. She climbs in also and then tootles us off to church, parking outside the main hall. I see Alaistair waiting outside!
• I use the loo once myself but when I exit the bathroom, PIG mum has already disappeared. Uncle Slam passes me Green Sticky and walks with me to where Alaistair has taken a seat in the middle column and I grab a seat beside him.
• Phew I get to stay seated for worship today~ I sing everything I know, plus the harmony for two songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh* Before service started I chatted with Aliatair; turns out he's on the autism spectrum and is learning to drive right now!
• Today the speaker was I think Reverend Patrick Suen and Peter Pie was his interpreter; afterwards there was this induction ceremony for the pastors and deacons!
• After service I hiked downstairs and used the normal ladies loo since the disabled loo lid was closed, horrid PIG mum wouldn't lift it for me and she also prevented some nice church aunty from helping me. *sigh*
• I'd grabbed a pack of bikkies and was gonna sit down but dad hauled me off to follow Uncle Wah Hung to hs car; time to pick up his 4WD.
• Uncle Wah Hung had me board his car from the driver's seat, which was awkward but thanks to dad who helped me with the seatbelt.
• Back in the passenger seat of dad's car I went back to buckling my own seatbelt and dad tootled us off to Hungry Jack's for lunch.
• I shook a three dollar BBQ cheeseburger and small shake! Dad got himself a Whopper and bought us a pack of small chips to share; yay that we could both play with our phones during lunch.
• Actually dad wanted to leave @ 11:50am but I said ten more minutes please dad; it's not even midday yet!
• Back home I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Once I've used up the most important two hours of the day, I'll head over to read for an hour and ask PIG mum to pleasew gimme some arvo tea.
• Will shower early; haveta be seated in front of the TV for the grand final kickoff; GO THE BRONCOS!!!
• Toms: hope PIG mum helps me up ...
• Presume she's taking me to see Aunty Anna for some massage and acupuncture in the arvo; I'm looking forward to her firm ministrations while I bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ her.
• Actually since it's a public holiday toms I'll unfortunately not get any support but didn't dad say he'd take us fishing?
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 387

 Huh how come I forgot to post yesterday? XD Well, I enjoyed my 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night (didn't get outta bed until 7:30am, played in the competition and picked up two new ribbons! I've always known that blue ribbons are blue, second ribbons are red and green ribbons are green but yesterday I learnt 4th ribbons are yellow! Horrid PIG mum just sneered @ me that since I'm not playing properly, people can pick whatever colours they want and make things up. >< *sigh* But clever baba tootled us all the way back up and we had a spot of dinner @ Ho Lin Wah before I came home for a shower before hitting the sack. Zzz~

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Friday Post 387b

 Heylo again,  good evening and one final greeting for tonight! We have the accessible room in the motel and I am very impressed with the hand rail for the toilet and the shower bench even though I BYO'd shower chair! Checked in, dad dragged us off to the botanical Gardens before we watched the sunrise on a hill coz dad brought a picnic rug! After he hauled me back upright we had dinner at the local Chinese; it was so packed we had to sit outside! Bought groceries from Woolies and PIG 🐖 mum helped me with a shower once we got back to our room.  Am very impressed that this place comes with free Foxtel! Arrived and immediately watched an episode of ST:TOS and was about to watch an episode ST:TNG but dad ordered me to leave! XD On the drive home the parents hopped out of the car and took photos of the moon because it Mid-Autumn festival tonight; luckily I remembered that we have frozen moon cake to ea; just reminded 🐖 mum and she has taken them out to defrost. Have an early start tomorrow for the competition and fingers crossed that I won't disgrace myself too badly... am just grumpy that we will not stay and join the dinner at the local sports club.  Am really frustrated that just like the choir, PIG 🐖 mum signs me up without asking my opinion but after I have made some friends and want attend the social activities she is so DESPERATE to keep me socially isolated.  >< But will try my best tomorrow and try to have fun; hopefully Kim makes chocolate cake again! Righteo,  hope everyone has a lovely weekend ahead!

Cheers, 

Em. ^^

P.S. Ooh there's Chicago Fire to watch!

Friday Post 387

 Good afternoon from Maryborough! Have slept all morning in the car and we have just finished lunch at the Maryborough Hungry Jack's! Mother says that there is 1.5hrs more driving until we reach our destination; fingers crossed that we can eat out either tonight or tomorrow night because Sunday night is the NRL grand final! Hope everyone has a lovely weekend ahead ~

Cheers, 

Em.

Thursday Post 387d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! With a final, final plodding total of 3000, lemme cover final, final events for Thursday?

• After publishing the previous post, I vented out my frustrations over a Facebook post. Kim's return e-mail made me feel better, though~
• At 9:02pm (usually it's 9pm but I was finishing the post) 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.
• Tonight's ice cream night, yay; like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all~
• Toms: *sigh* PIG mum has already cancelled Peggy's shift coz dad's driving us up to Redcliffe/somewhere for the next table tennis comp! I'm just grumpy because Kim's invited everyone for dinner @ the local sports club Saturday night but PIG mum won't lemme attend coz she wants to be back down in Brisbane on Saturday night so she can attend church Sunday. Originally she was like you'll get Saturday lunch out but I'm not sure since Kim'll make  pork and chicken salad rolls for five bucks each and I can see that when we arrive @ wherever we're staying dad'll buy all the groceries to cover all our meals until we head back down. >< *sigh*
• Thinking I'll not take Wally up, provided PIG mum gives him back Sunday morning ...
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 387c

 Good evening! Dunno why Wally's gone on strike since my last post? Whatever; I'll just round up, login Thursday's final, final plodding total for Thursday @ 3000 and continue with tonight's events?

• 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 dining 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, two/three thin slices of soup pork/beef and 1/4 chunk of battered fish with one streak of mayo.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup and I also ate one little strawberry before I took my plate over to the sink and 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 Friday else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 387b

 Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for Thursday! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for today now stands @ 2327 but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-FOUR MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 153RD time!! Righteo, potential final, final events for Thursday?

• At the library, I use the disabled loo for one tinkle and then head into Meeting Room 1... "We're the meeting for the Disaster Management 'sth sth sth', a random tells me; I reply whoops sorry wrong room and try the next one; yup, we're in Meeting Room Two~
• Nine people attended today; Pat gave me a hand to the disabled loo @ morning tea break and Sattya got me three packs of bikkies (love the shortbread and my mouth must've widened since I last tried: fitting a scotch finger into my mouth sideways doesn't hurt as much! XD) and a cup of tea, white and two. Homework next meeting's ' getaway and Alaistair says we may continue our war so I'll await his homework before penning my own getaway ... XD
• After Karina took me once more to the loo she tootled us off to Ho Lin Wah for lunch with the Lungs! 
• Today I got the 'A' set meal: pork pieces in white sauce with rice and a cold HK-style milk tea. Naomi was there too coz the poor thing wasn't feeling well; she had some congee for lunch.
• Afterwards, Karina tootled me home; good timing, dearest dad had just come home too! He held hands with me and walked me back inside because it'd suddenly started bucketing down during lunch; while the rain had ceased; the floor was still wet~
• Took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Karina who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted I boot the computer up while Karina returns to clean the bathroom before sitting beside me and giving Ela a very gentle massage for about thirty minutes.
• At 3:30pm I head over to the gobbling :P table and sign Karina off with my thanks and byes. She's back same time next week.
• When PIG mum got home from swimming she gave me another delicious green tea mochi mooncake for arvo tea plus one big mug of delicious Chinese tea.
• After using the loo for one more tinkle I plop online, visiting the loo again @ 5:30pm.
• Toms: Peggy usually minds me from 9-2 but I'm unsure will she come tomes coz dad's driving us hours to wherever the next table tennis comp is!
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner, else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
  Cheers,

Thursday Post 387

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2032 steps (ha, I'm just over two grans XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Power Of A Superior Promise'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "God's In Control; Trust Him; and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Tend Your Garden but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and SEVENTEEN MINUTES online after PIG mum comes home from swimming and feeds me some arvo tea!! Anyways, events for today?

• Aww, my awesome sleep streak ended last night/this morning when my idiot bladder nudged me awake and ordered I use the pot :P for her but no complaints; 'twas still a sound sleep~
• Nature called again around 6am and 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*
• Nature usually calls hourly after that first daylight pot :P trip but happiness was snoring soundly with Pijum and Pearl until dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently along the hallway and unpopped the lock into the garage before waking again for the pot :P @ 7:20am.
• PIG mum lets Karina inside when she announces her arrival @ 7:30am. Karina knocks, pushes open the door, bids me good morning and adds hitting tge snooze button for fifteen more minutes ... I flop one of Pijum's ears @ her and she wisely leaves; phew, coz Pijum's too long to give the Bear Bum! XD
• When Karina returns I use the pot :P once more for three tinkles, 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 sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to  the gobbling :P table with Karina.
• Breakfast is one bowl of plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast shredded into the bowl, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh* Thanks to Karina who turns on Sunrise for my viewing pleasure~
• After breakfast, I sit once more over the loo. here, 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 and she tootles me off to GCCW! Thanks to her who kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt all day~
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 387c

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

• 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 she tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Obviously, she gleefully forces me to buckle my own seatbelt all day; we also listen to her Spotify playmix all day, too.
• At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle and then lay down to get some massage and acupuncture from him. When Ray gives my shoulders and the tops of my thighs CPR it's super-comfortable but heck it hurts, too! Would that be 'good' pain? Anyways, PIG mum was in her element, yapping unceasingly @ Ray; my grateful thanks to him who always replied and kept a conversation flowing.
• After one more loo trip, PIG mum and I bought groceries from Warrigal Square Woolies before she tootled us home.
• I used the loo for one more tinkle and then e-mailed my GCCW homework around after finishing edits for it.
• Lunch was ... lol, sudden mental blank! XD A bowl of rice leftovers? But 'twas the 19th time I've had to get myself cutlery this year.
• At 1:55pm I sat over the loo for two more tinkles and then Bree took me to play table tennis! Still no cake. >< XD But Uncle James played with me first and when he refereed our doubles match, said he could gimme a yellow card! o_O I immediately backed down. XD
• Back home, I 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 Bree sliced me some strawberries for arvo tea and I drank another delicious mug of Chinese tea, which Bree reheated for me, since PIG mum had placed it onto the table earlier and it'd already gone cold.
  
• Happily watched the 6pm bulletin (Seven's) for the 152ND time. All the interesting surnames I saw: Bavas,  Teece, Geran, Kenzie, Donovan, Fegan, Rawlings, Kohler, Khoury, Millward, Croucher, Hudson (heard), Rahme, London,  Reynolds, Haas (heard), Platt, Putu (first name), Palaszczuk, Biden,  Trump (heard), Olaf (first name), Carrigan, Gottlieb, Berry, De Pasquale, Gatti, Stone (heard), Ariotti,  Portman, Frederichs, McCluggage, Dalton and Cleary. Garry Youngberry read the weather report from the Goodwill Bridge. Brisbane was 12-30 today.  Mt Gravatt toms: 12-27. Sunrise 5:14am Sunset 5:47pm
• Popped online afterwards. When the parents summoned me over for dinner I used the loo for one tinkle and slowly and safely walked myself 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, some pork and two wee slices of fried egg, 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.
• At 9pm, I walked myself slowly and safely to the  loo for one more tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Toms: Karina's taking me to GCCW! Looking forward to sharing my story with everyone. XD
• Even better, I'm meeting Chris and Grace for our once termly (not a word?) lunch @ Ho Lin Wah!
• Fingers dad will take  us out for dinner toms night coz Sunday night I'm gonna watch the NRL grand final!
• Righteo, hope everyone's having a smashing week!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 387b

 Heylo again and good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 3064 (see? Told you I'd crack three grand! XD) but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-FIVE MINUTES online after I visit the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, continuing last night's events?

• Since Neil was the Toastmaster and had chosen the theme 'At The Movies', he'd even prepared a quiz and brought Minties as prizes! After he asked the first question, I immediately raised my hand and called out the answer; Neil looks @ me and rouses that he hasn't given the possible answers yet! I ask him but was my answer correct? When he nods, I stick out my hand and demand, gimme. XD I ended up with four/five Minties after that! Only don't confuse Minties with Mentos; Mentos are soft and chewy but Minties are harder and need sucking; I nearly didn't finish them in time to lead table topics! XD
• Afterwards, Elisabeth drove me back to the Warrigal Square Maccas for my UnHappy meal.
• Got home, repeat the usual nightly events and zzz~
• Today: woo hoo, 8th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:25am and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Nature usually calls hourly after that first daylight pot :P trip but happiness is sleeping soundly until dearest dad very thoughtfully walks silently along the hallway and unpops the lock into the garage before waking again for the pot. :P
• 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, retucks me back into bed and leaves for his hard day's work, Pijum, Pearl and I all happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with just the bra and 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 just Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• After getting myself a spoon (18th time this year I've had to get myself cutlery), 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*

Wednesday Post 387

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total from last night's actually 3903 (aww, nearly 4000 XD); secondly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's 'When You Feel Hopeless'; thirdly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2931 steps (so will definitely have passed three grand before the night's out XD); fourthly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's "Live Confident In God's Sovereign Power'; fifthly, TWFT topic's 'You Must Take Responsibility For Your Life'; sixthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'God Calls Your Name' and seventhly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Your Problems Have Purpose' but eighthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-EIGHT MINUTESonline after dinner tonight!! Anyways, let's start off with yesterday's events first!

• Once I'd used up my most important two hours of the day online, I headed over to the gobbling :P table and asked PIG mum please for some arvo tea; I'm gonna read till 5:25pm (about forty minutes away), use the loo once more and then sit @ the door awaiting Elizabeth's arrival.
• Only she didn't turn up? At 5:40pm I rang CODA on-call and asked them please find her for me; she arrived right after I hung up: turns out her two-year old's babysitter had been stuck in traffic and obviously she couldn't leave until the babysitter arrived!
• Meaning I got to start watching Nine's news because traffic was terrible and then Elizabeth ignored her GPS (just like PIG mum) so unsurprisingly the free parking was already all taken and I ended up arriving like twenty-one minutes late but tonight was the night our area governor was visiting!
• I took warm-up and table topics; Kate asked me to give an impromptu about my favourite Harry Potter novel! The area governor spoke, saying he wants our club to maintain our reputation for good standing. I cheekily raised my hand and asked could I please be a member of good sitting? I'm not very good @ standing, see. He roared with laughter and said sth like between my cane (he suffers from MS and recently broke his arm when he got up from a gold class recliner! o_O) we'll make a great team!
• Since Neil was the Toastmaster and had chosen the theme 'At The Movies', he'd even prepared a quiz and brought Minties as prizes! After he asked the first question, I immediately raised my hand and called out the answer; Neil looks @ me, - bbl!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 386

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2436 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Life Hangs On The Word Of God'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Acknowledge Your Mistake' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'A Distinct Cry'. Anyways, just briefly events for today?

• Yay, 7th consecutive awesome sleep last night; that's the 11TH time this year I've scored one straight week of consecutive awesome sleeps! :D
• Lena helped me up @ 9am and took me to Breathe. Physio today: 1.646km bike ride, 36 single leg push ups on the reformer, 100 sit-to-stands and boxing!
• Bought groceries from Coles and goot my once-weekly bahn mi from Pinelands Bakehouse; today, 'twas a man behind the counter!
• Came home and 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.

Monday Post 386e

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2835. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I read and shared my Facebook memories for today.
• 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. Actually I did another stinky unspeakable but thankfully a normal one. Originally I was scared that the mooncake had gone off since Tum Tum had been rumbling!
• Oh, that's right: I had mooncake!! :D This Mid-Autumn festival's a success; after encountering mooncake twice with peanut oil, third time lucky I got mooncake with red bean but NOT peanut oil! Just disregard the fact that I'm not a red bean fan. XD
• Toms: Lena's minding me from 9Aam till 2pm She's taking me to Breathe for physio @ 11am and then fingers crossed PIG mum'll lemme buy a crunchy pork salad roll from either aunty (Lena remembers their names but I still can't XD) @ Pinelands Bakehouse after buying groceries for her from Coles.
• Will haveta ring CODA toms arvo and ask who's taking me to Toastmasters toms night coz the roster still says TBA.
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Tee hee, I've managed FIVE posts today! Yeaah, I can manage that some Mondays now. XD

Monday Post 386d

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2756 but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed NINE MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, continuing today's events?

• After using the loo for one more tinkle, I climbed back into the backseat of PIG mum's car again and she tootled me off to see Aunty Anna for some massage and acupuncture.
• Go me! I managed to stay awake all through PIG mum's incessant waffling. XD And go PIG mum! She controlled her excitement @ getting to yap unceasingly @ Aunty Anna excellently today and didn't repeat any syllables! XD 
• Back home, I used the loo for another tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Thanks to PIG mum who let Rebecca inside when she announced her arrival two minutes early, thus saving me from a potentially dangerous trip to the front door myself.
• So a nice hot shower for - 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, arvo tea was some sliced strawberries, one yummy flavoured rice cracker and one big mug of white tea, although unfortunately Rebecca couldn't find any sweetener. Happiness was getting to read the book club novel for one hour, reaching pf. 222 @ exactly 4:40pm, reaching pg. 225 @ 4:49 and reaching pg. 250 @ 5:24.
• Then I had like twenty-five minutes to happily play Jewel Quest, while Rebecca continued very sporadically (she kept pausing to tap @ her mobile) and very gently massage Ela.
• At 5:55pm I sat over the loo for two more tinkles and then signed her off with my thanks and byes; for some reason, she's not taking me to Toastmasters toms night?
• Happily watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 151ST 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 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 icky bitter vegetable, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa some other vegetable I've since forgotten, three little pieces of tasteless soup beef and four wee chunks of roast pork from Coles. The crackling's gone soft. XD
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowlful 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.
• 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 386c

 Good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2578 (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Conduct That Counts' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and EIGHT MINUTES online after dinner tonight!! Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• PIG mum comes back to finish with nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me too walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• After getting myself a spoon (17th time I've had to get myself cutlery this year), breakfast is some plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly smeared with avocado and hopefully sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the bathroom, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's 4WD. She gets in too and tootles us down the road to Warrigal Square. Obviously, she gleefully forces me to buckle my own seatbelt all day and we also listen to 97.3FM all day, too.
• @ Woolies we buy milk, bread and one box of cheap facial tissues. Oh, and one box of frozen fish, which are on special and PIG mum says we can have for lunch!
• Back home, I use the loo for one 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.
• For lunch, I munched two delicious oven-baked lightly battered frozen fish fillets sandwiched between two slices of bread and drank one big mug of delicious Chinese tea. Unfortunately PIG mum wouldn't add any cheese but the garlic aoili was delicious and best of all, dearest dad came home to eat dinner with me!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 386b

 Heylo again, good afternoon and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I get to ost before midday. XD Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2238 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "Jesus's Pursuit Of Joy'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Fear Of The Lord' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Reason For Fear' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-NINE MINUTES online after Rebecca leaves @ 6pm and I watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 151ST time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:20am and after one pot :P trip I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Usually, nature calls hourly after that first daylight pot :P trip but happiness was snoring soundly until dearest dad very thoughtfully walks silently down the hallway and unpopping the lock into the garage before waking again to relieve myself.
• After dearest dad kisses me bye, retucks me back into ned, 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, we all happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P about one hour later shortly before PIG mum begins her usual 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 nothing bar 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.
• Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 151ST time: Cobbo, Staggs, Inglis, Carrigan (heard), Gottlieb, Yasmin (first name), Bonnell, Mercorella, Small, Millward, Forchet, Fentiman, Albanese (heard), Willan, Croucher, Rishworth, Arvier, Crisafulli, Shandi (heard), Pezzullo, Kearsley, Garred, Iga (heard), Saranos (heard), Olivana (first name), Lathouris, Raworth, Porecki, Keidean (first name), Coleman, Elliston, Van Der Berg, Jessika (first name), Barrymore (heard), Lambe, Fyles, Piotrowski, Garvin, Havenga and Fegan. 64.21=1AUD.

 Good evening and probably one final greeting for tonight; we are at the airport 🛫 

Sunday Post 386

 Good morning! Enjoyed my 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night (slept till 6:35am before nature called); since the king-sized bed is so massive I thought PIG mum had already gotten up so I BELLOWED,  "Good morning mother,  will you please help me to the bathroom; I am busting " Imagine my surprise when she replied from just beside me,  "Yes, I am right here.  No need to yell." XD Slept again till about 8:15am before getting up for good.  Had rice, a slice of egg, a slice of ham, a piece of toast,  a chunk of tomato and a little cup of earl grey tea for breakfast and then did a stinky unspeakable.  Dunno if we are doing anything today but checkout is at 1pm and we will be back in Brisbane for bed! Hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead ~

Cheers, 

Em. ^^

Saturday Post 396b

 Heylo and good afternoon again! Had to haul myself up at least another two escalators but we finally found the train station and this time I descended to the bottom floor for a ride! Both parents are having an afternoon nap now but mother has promised to feed me some arvo tea when she wakes up,  after which she will help me with a shower and tonight we are off to the wedding reception! Should I continuously check the live update or just trust that the Broncos can get into the grand final?? I have asked uncle Colbert to please watch the match live for me instead but I am not sure is he MAN ENOUGH to do so.  XD Fingers crossed for one bowl of rice!! Tomorrow is our last day in Sydney and we will be back in Brisbane by night; wonder will dad take us out for dinner? Righteo, maybe bbl tonight if things get too boring else hope everyone has a lovely end to the weekend toms!

Cheers, 

Em.^^

Saturday Post 386

 Good afternoon! Enjoyed my 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night (didn't wake till 8:05am) and had rice for breakfast before we caught a train (I had to climb the stairs - multi level trains are so cool! - and explored Darlung Harbour! Caught some ferry ⛴️ named after Fred hollows to it; the ship was multi level so obviously I hiked up and down stairs to visit every part.  At some Asian food court for lunch; hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing end to the weekend toms!

Cheers, 

Em. ^^

Friday Post 386c

 Good afternoon! It was a bit of a struggle meeting up with leanne and her mum because dad insisted we have really early and wouldn't lemme use Sparkless3! >< But 'twas lovely catching up with them ~ Only got a tiny serving for lunch but afterwards Madam Hippo found a place that sells HK-style milk tea!! She even bought us a donut and phew that dad lemme sit back into Sparkless3 after leaving lunch.  Don't think we have any more plans for today but tomorrow night is the wedding reception- dare I hope for ONE bowl of rice then?? XD But thank goodness it's Friday yeah? Hope everyone has had a lovely week ~

Friday Post 386b

 Good morning again! Going out to meet Madam Hippo and her mum for an early lunch; can't wait! Had a frustrating morning: dad wouldn't lemme take Sparkless3 to visit PIG mum swimming and then chucked some cow at me for gaining HEAP of weight since arrival but how is that even possible since I have only had one yuck cha where dad gave me hardly anything and then one dinner out where I got LESS than one bowl of rice?! Dunno what is happening this afternoon either. 

Cheers, 

Em.^^

Friday Post 386

 Good morning! Enjoyed my third consecutive awesome sleep last night (didn't get up for the loo until 8am) and now dearest dad is cooking breakfast for us! Meeting leanne for an early lunch and dunno what is happening for the rest of the day.  Hopefully bbl else hope everyone's had a lovely week ~

Cheers, 

Em. ^^

Thursday Post 386

 We are in Sydney! Enjoyed my 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night (dad kissed me awake and said fifteen more minutes at5:50am) and uncle Alan drove us to the airport! Caught a Virgin flight down to Sydney and immediately had to eat a little yuck cha with PIG mum's mates. Went to Aunty Agnes' house before she tootled us back to our lodging at the Sebel. We are on the 9th floor but cannot get in by ourselves because the key card does not work.  XD Had an early dinner with PIG mum's mates and hiked all around Westfield Chatswood while dad pushed Sparkless3 along. Bought groceries at Coles and ALDI  before coming home.  Right now dad is putting my shower chair together so will obviously shower soon.  Meeting Madam Hippo and Aunty Diana tomorrow,  won't! Hope everyone has a lovely end to the week tomorrow ~

Wednesday Post 386b

 Heylo again, good evening and probably one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's probable final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 4697 (sweet I'm over 4.5 grand; that doesn't happen too often! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Correct Path' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-NINE MINUTES online if I've gotta let PIG mum gleefully boot me off to bed @ 9:45pm!! *sigh* Righteo, probable final, final events for today?

• At 1:55pm, I sat over the loo once more for two tinkles and when Bree arrived to take me to table tennis, climbed into her car's passenger seat.
• Aww, another week without birthday cake ... >< XD Still, I had fun! 
• While Bree crawled through peak hour traffic on the way home, I happily kept playing Jewel Heroes. XD
• Took a nice hot shower when I got home - 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 settled down to happily watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 150TH time while Bree went to clean the bathroom and then sat down to massage EWla but suddenly dad decided we're going out for dinner and told me to please help me change outta pajamas!
• Our first stop's Uncle Wah Hung's work garage, where dad left his car for service.
• Then we went to the Hyperdome, intending to eat dinner @ the food court but can you believe it: since late night shopping's not till Thursday, everything was shut!
• Instead, we went back to Malay House for dinner. Since I ate one vegetarian spring roll, I dipped it into the sweet and sour sauce and decided that was my birthday candle for my half-birthday, even though neither parent nought me half a slice of birthday cake. XD
• Back home, I used the loo for one more tinkle and then returned online.
• Toms: it's an early start for us; Uncle Alan's driving us to the airport and we're flying down to Sydney! Dunno how we're spending Thursday and Friday but Saturday we're attending Uncle Barry's daughter's wedding reception and then Sunday we're meeting up with Leanne and her mum for lunch! Mostly I'm just grumpy that we'll be back in Brisbane in time for my next physio session @ Breathe. >< This so isn't a holiday; I finish physio and we head interstate the next day; we come back to Brisbane and I've got physio immediately again the next day! >< Hmph.
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 386

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2089 steps (ha, I'm just over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Our Unspeakable Privilege'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'My Daily Faith Confession (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Find Rest In God' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and NINETEEN MINUTES online after I get home from table tennis!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:35am when dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently along the hallway and pulled the bathroom door shut, and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since I knew he'd get ready to leave for his hard day's work exactly one hour later!
• Sure enough, I'm awoken for another pot :P trip one hour later exactly when dearest dad again very considerately walks silently along the hallway and unpops the lock into the garage; after another pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*

Suddenly she appears to hit me with the eye goo and grumble why isn't Bree here yet; I told Michelle the shift had to start @ 8am! She helps me exceedingly slightly with only the bra strap and the tee and I quickly pull everything else on after giving myself fifteen more minutes. PIG mum's helping me with my footwear when suddenly Bree arrives @ 8:30am!
• Bree helps me with my footwear, I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth, sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with her.
• Breakfast is one slice of toast lightly smeared with avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt, one bowl of Weet-Bix porridge, 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* While I'm eating, PIG mum yaps @ Bee and tells her about her nursing experiences since Bree's studying nursing @ uni right now; when talk turns to placements and Bree says I'm hoping I'll not get sent to NSW PIG mum knowledgeably replies, "Oh yeah, I'm heard you can get sent to places like Dumbo ..." I burst out laughing, replying, "Mother, I think you mean Dubbo, not Dumbo! Dumbo's the flying elephant from Disney!" Bree and I both immediately crack up, while PIG mum just pretends she didn't hear us. XD
• 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 Bree's car, she kindly helps me with my seatbelt (as she does all day) and then tootles me off to the NAB for my final session there for 2023!

• Physio today: thirty sit-to-stands with left and forward weightshift,  reaching for Era and hiked half the Great Court! Mrs. Hoppie was awesome and shouted me an iced dirty chai latte and I even bumped into Mr. Jennings!

• Back home, I used the loo once and then booted the computer up, sharing my GCCW story with Bree plus Alaistair's original story that provoked the reply.

• For lunch, Bree made me one tuna toastie with one slice of cheese; PIG mum made me one delicious big mug of Chinese tea and dessert was one little strawberry mochi!

• PIG mum says sit over the loo once more @ 1:55pm and then Bree's taking me to table tennis! She see me home and showered before leaving @ 6:30, while I stay seated and enjoy watching the 6pm bulletin (Seven's) for the 150TH time!

• Toms: we're flying down to Sydney to attend Uncle Barry's daughter's wedding reception! Me, I'm looking forward to catching up with Madam Hippo and Aunty Diana!

• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else hope everyone's having a smashing week!
  Cheers,

Tuesday Post 385d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 3036. Ha, I'm literally just over three grand. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I started composing my new GCCW homework. When PIG mum returned home @ 8:55 (the garage door went up) I yelled her arrival to dearest dad and got a sleepy "Mmm" in return. 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: Breanna's coming @ 8am and taking me to the NAB for one more hike around The Great Court; fingers crossed Mrs. Hoppie will shout a drink!

• Think she's leaving @ midday and coming back @ 2pm to take me to table tennis ... I'm craving cake; it's been one MONTH since I last had a slice!
• Hopefully I'll get to watch the 6pm news for the 150TH time, since I'm pretty sure it's still term break and gospel group hasn't resumed yet ...
• Anyways, wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 385c

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 2951 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Rescued Through The Flames'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• When dearest dad summoned me over for dinner @ 7:24pm, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy wombok, one big chunk of turnip, one big chunk of tomato, one big chunk of four more different vegetables I've since forgotten (but dad said their were eight vegetables tonight), two little pieces of roast pork and two little pieces of crackling. Dad said he'd bought the roast pork from Coles; tasted not bad!
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Anyways, hopefully bbl after one final 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. ^^

Tuesday Post 385b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 2693. Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• Once I'd used up my most important two hours of the day I intended to head over to the gobbling :P table and read for one hour; unsure why PIG mum waited until I'd nearly reached her before screeching I'm cooking/doing sth here; go away" so I headed back to the computer and started reading my book club novel. 
• When she said I could come I brought my mobile but forgot the book meaning I had to make another trip back coz obviously PIG mum wouldn't have retrieved the book for me. >< *sigh*
• But I happily finished reading for one hour; I reached pg. 200 @ 5:17pm.
• 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.
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 385

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2455 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Only True Freedom; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Evangelise/Fossilise (2)' and thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Faithful But Not Forgotten'. Anyways, events for today?

• Grr I was one night from achieving the 12TH time this year where I've achieved one straight week of awesome sleeps but no, stupid nature awakes me with a full bladder and orders I use the pot :P @ 12:15am. >< *sigh* Never mind; 'twas still a sound sleep~
• I'm awoken for the pot :P again @ 6:35am when dearest dad very thoughtfully walks silently down the hallway and pulls the bathroom door shut; after one more pot :P trip I immediately fall back asleep since I'm sure he'll get ready to leave for work one hour later!
• Sure enough, @ 7:35am dearest dad again very thoughtfully walks silently along the hallway and unpops the lock into the garage door, which awakes 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 dearest dad kisses me bye, brings back Pijum for me (PIG mum was mean last night and wouldn't ><), 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, we all cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye gooo before going back outside and awaiting Lena's arrival.
• After PIG mum lets Lena inside @ 9am, Lena knocks, opens the door and calls good morning! When I flap one of Pijum's ears @ her she says fifteen more minutes, okay? Another earflap from Pijum and she wisely removes herself. Phew, coz Pijum's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum. XD
• Actually I accidentally fall back asleep and lose count! But it's only a light sleep and I wake immediately when Lena knocks on the door before coming back inside. I use the loo for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head 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 is one bowl of cereal 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 backseat of Lena's car. Thanks to Lena who helps me buckle my seatbelt all day and then she tootles me off to Breathe for physio with Eric.
• Physio today: 1.664km bike ride, 36 lat pull down per hand 100 sit-to-stands (ninety only finger holding; the last ten without support) and boxing!
• After physio, Lena tootles us off to Pinelands Plaza, grabs a trolley for us and we begin shopping for groceries, before going next door to the Pinelands Bakehouse, where I buy my weekly crackling/crunchy pork salad roll from Aunty Nancy.
• Back home, I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Lena who helps me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• I have one tinkle before Lena shuts the nice hot water off, gett dried, get creamed and have another tinkle. When Lena rekits me, I have one more tinkle when she was sticking Elf's AFO straps, and one last when she was giving Wally back to Ela.
• Back outside I munched my delicious bahn mi for lunch but unfortunately took my white tea without any sugar because Lena couldn't find where sneaky PIG mum had hidden it. >< *sigh*
• When PIG mum came home @ 1:55pm I used the loo once more for two tinkles. PIG mum quickly signed Lena off and shooed her away before I came out. *sigh*
• Once I use up my most important two hours of the day online I'm gonna head over to the gobbling :P table, ask PIG mum for arvo tea and read the book club novel for another hour,
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 149TH time!
• Toms: Breanna's coming @ 8am and taking me to the NAB for one more hike around The Great Court; fingers crossed Mrs. Hoppie will shout a drink!
• Think she's leaving @ midday and coming back @ 2pm to take me to table tennis ... I'm craving cake; it's been one MONTH since I last had a slice!
• Hopefully I'll get tto watch the 6pm news for the 150TH time, since I'm pretty sure it's still term break and gospel group hasn't resumed yet ...
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 385e

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2814 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Be Present'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• When the clock ticked 4:01pm but Jacinta hadn't arrived yet, I determined to wait until 4:10pm before ringing CODA should she still not have arrived yet.
• Instead, Michelle rang @ 4:07pm, saying she's running late but will come @ 4:30pm!
• Actually, she announced her arrival @ 4:28pm; since PIG mum was upstairs on the phone, I walked myself slowly and safely to the front foor and let her in, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• So a nice hot shower for me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Jacinta who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted arvo tea was one juicy pear, two Oreo biscuits and one mug of white tea sweetened with two sugars. I only had time to read for fifty-five minutes, but decided I'd read for another five minutes after dinner.
• At 5:55pm I used the loo once more for two tinkles and then sat down @ the computer to watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 148TH time. At 6:30pm I signed Jacinta off with my thanks and byes.
• When the parents summoned me over for dinner @ 7:30pm, I used the loo for one tinkle and walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, again  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.

• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy broccoli, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup carrot, one chunk of lobok and three/four tiny chunks of beef.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking my bowl to the sink, I walked myself slowly and safely back online, always  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. Only I forgot I'd said I'd read for five more minutes after dinner,  reaching pg. 175 @ 8:24pm.

• Anyways, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip @ 9pmwith 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. ^^
  P.S. Tee hee, I've already managed FIVE posts! Yeah, most Mondays I can post five. XD

Monday Post 385d

 Good afternoon again! Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2238. Righteo, continuing events for today?

• After I let PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then slowly and safely walk myself outt to the gobbling :P table,  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Breakfast's the last slice of the yummy orange and carrot cake PIG mum recently baked with one bowl of Weet-Bix porridge, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug oof water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the loo, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and she tootles us off to the Warrigal Square Woolies to buy groceries before she drives us down the road to buy more groceries from the Runcorn IGA, since they've got a bigger Asian food section.
• Back home, I use the loo for another 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.
• When PIG mum summons me over for lunch, I 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.
•  For lunch I have a plain tuna toastie with a slice of cheese and one big mug of delicious Chinese tea. Happiness is when dearest dad comes home and has lunch with me~
• I use the loo for one more tinkle before PIG mum tootles me off to see Aunty Anna for some acupuncture and massage.
• While I enjoy Aunty Anna's firm ministrations, PIG mum enjoys yapping ceaselessly @ her. XD Sure enough, her boring voice sent me off to sleep but phew, I didn't snore. XD
• Back home, I use the loo for one more tinkle and then walk myself slowly and safely online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Jacinta's minding me from 4-6 today. Fingers crossed I'll get to read the book club novel for one hour! Also fingers crossed I'll get to watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 148TH time!
• Toms: Lena's minding me from 9-2. She'll take me to Breathe for an hour's physio with Eric and then presumably PIG mum'll send us off to Pinelands Coles to buy groceries. Fingers crossed she'll also lemme buy a yummy pork salad roll for lunch from Aunty Nancy!
• Nothing planned after Lena leaves. Looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online, looking forward to reading the book club novel for another hour and fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news for the 149TH time!
• Righteo, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S.

Monday Post 385c

 Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 1560 (ha, I'm just over 1.5 grand XD) but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-ONE MINUTES online after I get home from seeing Aunty Anna for some massage and acupuncture!! Hopefully bbl!

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Monday Post 385b

 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 only 550 steps (coz obviously, I've not left the house yet); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Worship In A Lightning Storm'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Evangelise/Fossilise (1) and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Red Dress Project' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY MINUTES after I get home!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:45am and after one pot :P trip I fell straight back asleep since I knew dearest dad would leave for his hard day's work one hour later!
• Actually, dearest dad very thoughtfully walks silently down the hallway and unpops the lock into the garage @ 7:35am, which wakes me for another pot :P trip, 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*
• 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, Pearl and i happily cuddle, snore and oversleep just like PIG mum - I don't wake again for the pot :P until 9:45am, when she wakes and goes a-THUMPING around upstairs!
• Meaning after PIG mum hits me with the eye goo and helps me exceedingly slightly with just the bra and tee, I skip my fifteen more minutes, pull everything else on and call PIG mum back to finish with just Elf's AFO and both laces.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good morning! :P

Sunday Post 385c

 Good evening again and probably one final greeting for tonight! Em's probable final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3266. Righteo, probable final, final events for tonight?

• When the parents called dinnertime, I used the loo for one tinkle and then climbed into the backseat of dad's 4WD, buckling my seatbelt.
• Dinner tonight was @ Dong Fong/Sunnybank Oriental. As expected, I got piss-little: not quite half a bowl of noodles, about half a bowl of congee and like half a bowl of rice, but I drank one cup of Chinese tea and half the warm Ovaltine since they'd already run outta soyabean milk. Mostly I'm just grumpy since the parents are already saying they won't take me to a HK-style cafe for a meal (surely Sydney has some?!) neither lemme take a packet of the powdered stuff down! >< 
• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely back online, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Toms: fingers crossed PIG mum helps me up and takes me grocery shopping somewhere else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
• Hoping dearest dad will come home toms arvo and eat lunch with me before I see Aunty Anna for some massage and acupuncture. I'm looking forward to her firm ministrations; bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ her. XD
• Unless CODA rings toms morning and lets PIG mum know who's minding me from 4-6pm I'll haveta ring and chase them up once I'm home.
• Fingers crossed I can read the book club novel for one hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 148TH time!
• Righteo, hope everyoone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 385b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2695 (ha, I'm over 2.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Pass Along The Blessing'. Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• Once I'd used up the most important two hours of the day, I headed over to the gobbling :P table to read for one hour and wake for PIG mum to finish her long arvo nap, come downstairs and feed me arvo tea.
• Lol, today things came in threes: I needed three attempts before I could Whatapp Yu Lam and apologise for not being free for lunch and I needed three attempts before I could finally read for one hour! Firstly, I had to let PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk outside and take down the day's washing (argh, I HATES standing practice! ><) then secondly, I was ready to finish reading for one hour but next I had to let her gleefully force poor Ela to feed me some fruit for arvo tea (this I seriously don't get: since I'm naturally right-handed I wouldn't feed myself with my left hand anyway?) and I've suddenly forgotten the third reason but I had to note three different times into my phone but hey. @ least I finally managed to read for one hour! I finished pg. 100 @ 4:17, had a question to ask on pg. 111 but hopefully I'll get time for it and reached pg. 125 @ 5:14pm.
• Took a nice hot shower afterwards - I washed and rinsed my hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was all done after 10%, but happily leaned fully against the right side-rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling PIG mum back.
• After I'd flipped the nice hot water off and she'd dried my back plus the back of the chair for me, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until my bra strap needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
• After drying the loo seat, I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped both feet dry, washed and dried Era and then walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Dad's gone to some uncle's place coz he needs to get sth so he can fit my portable shower chair for when we head down to Sydney this Thursday! Actually, I can hear the garage door moving, meaning he's just returned home.
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner (we'll head after dad showers) else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 385

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2133 steps (ha, I'm over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "The Soul's Final Feast'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Start Early'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Any Questions?' and fifthly, the spam count for the weekend's only three. Anyways, events for today?

• Nature actually called shortly befoore midnight but since I used the pot :P quickly and was back under the covers before the new day arrived, yay, 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night! PIG mum woke me with her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs; I'd just swung back into bed after one pot: P trip when she let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with not only the bra strap but the tee (since dearest dad's @ 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 nothing bar 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 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 small slice of the carrot and orange cake had baked last night with one small bowl of Weet-Bix porridge, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, I walked myself slowly and safely back to the loo, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and she tootles us off to church, parking under the main hall I hike up the ramp and check every toilet cubible but all the lids are closed and, in the end, PIG mum lifts the last one for me. Unsure why she wouldn't do that right away? 
• After washing and drying both hands, I grab my usual spot in the most left in A7/8. Thanks to Dr. Lee who lemme enter from the side door since that's a level entry.
• Yay, I got to stay seated for worship today~ I sang everything plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was some fellow called Justin; 'twas only his second time here! Justin's sermon was about Christian Unity.
• After service I used the disabled loo for one tinkle (someone had lifted the lid, phew) and grabbed the same spot where I was last week after taking one packet of Arnott's bikkies for morning tea.
• Lol I thought everyone had to go upstairs for the AGM but PIG mum came and said the hall's already full, standing room only. Instead, she ordered I walk to the end building where the toilets are; I Whatsapped with Yu Lam and said please count me in for lunch.
• Unfortunately, dad suddenly came downstairs and demanded I leave with him for lunch! >< When I protested I was having lunch with other EM folk, dad replied he'd not allow that every week. >< Grr. 
• While he was driving I tried grabbing my mobile to Whatsapp Yu Lam and say sorry dad's dragged me away for lunch but dad immediately ordered put your mobile away; don't use it while I'm driving. You can tell her when we get to Maccas. I immediately complied.
• Once dad turned the car off I opened my back, intending to let Yu Lam though that sorry, I'm not free for lunch anymore but this time dad ordered I head inside first! I told him I hoped third time lucky would work; first time he wouldn't lemme while he was driving and second time he wouldn't lemme coz we'd parked. Personally I don't see what the problem was; I'd even wound the window and had fresh air for breathing!
• But finally, third time lucky: seated inside Hungry Jack's I finally could open Whatsapp and apologise to Yu Lam. Dad went and ordered lunch for us; when he came back with the food I thought we could sit and eat but no, he insisted we go home? That's right, PIG mum's going home too.
• Sheesh apart from only getting about half a packet of small chips dad didn't even get a cheeseburger for me, just a pissy little chicken royale. No cheese, just lettuce. *sigh*
• After lunch I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Once I've used up my most important two hours of the day I'll head over to the gobbling :P table, read for one hour and wait for PIG mum to wake from her arvo nap and gimme arvo tea.
• Toms: hope PIG mum helps me up ...
• Also hope she'll take me grocery shopping somewhere and aisle walking before we come home for lunch with dearest dad, else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
• Seeing Aunty Anna for some acupuncture and massage toms arvo. I'm looking forward to her firm ministrations; bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ her. Wonder if I'll fall asleep ... XD
• Have just e-mailed Michelle asking who's minding me 4-6pm toms arvo since the roster still says TBA.
• Then fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 148TH time after hopefully getting to read the book club novel for one hour!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 385f

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! With a final, final plodding total of 3050, lemme just cover final, final events for tonight? 

• After publishing the previous post I chatted with Uncle Norm over Facebook Messenger and told him how cool Aunty Doris is! Actually, should I call her por por?
• 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: just church, definitely nothing special. Fingers crossed I can join oother EM folk for lunch toms, fingers crossed I can read the book club novel for another hour and dad had better take us to CHINESE food for dinner and gimme ONE bowl of rice!!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Tee hee, tonight I've managed SIX posts; that's even rarer than five! XD

Saturday Post 385e

 Good evening! Firstly, I'm gonna login my final, final plodding total for Saturday @ 3050 (ha, I'm literally just over three grand XD) because Melissa didn't know to remove Wally before very gently massaging Ela for more than one hour meaning my new plodding total after she left was 5500+ and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'What Are You Doing Here?' Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• Melissa arrived one minute late today but thanks to PIG mum who let her inside, 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 Mel who helped rinse my hair out for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. She's only looked after me once before, back a few months ago when PIG mum was in HK. Mel's from Nigeria, I'm five years older than her and she's already got a two-year-old son.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted arvo tea was some sliced strawberries, two yummy Cheezels and one big mug of peppermint tea. Aww I'm sad: didn't get any white tea with sugar today. >< 
• Today I happily read for 1.25 hours coz mean PIG mum immediately confiscated my mobile once I got home! Meaning I couldn't record down what times I reached/finished two more important page numbers. >< again ...
• At 5:55pm I sat over the loo for two tinkles before signing Melissa off with my thanks and byes.
• Happily watched the 6pm bulletin (Nine's) for the 147TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• When dad 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 broccoli, lotsa soup tomato, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup potato, soome halibut, some mince and a lil yummy chicken.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking my bowl to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.

• Toms: just church, nothing special. Fingers crossed I can have lunch out with other EM people afterwards!
• Also fingers crossed that I can read the new book club novel for one hour!
• Dad had better take us out for CHINESE food for dinner toms night and gimme ONE bowl of rice to eat!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip with my final, final plodding total for Saturday, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening Sunday, else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Tee hee, today I've managed FIVE posts! Think that's the first time Saturday's managed that! XD

Saturday Post 385d

 Good afternoon again! Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2515. Ha, i'm literally just over 3.5 grand. XD Righteo, continuing today's events?

• Before dad tootled us off to church to play table tennis together, I used the loo for one more tinkle and PIG mum started her prep @ making a carrot cake! 
• Dad and I played four times together, although actually we played the first two rounds without taking a break. Uncle Wallace's adorable; he gets so into his matches he often yells aiya! I'm rather cheeky coz I'll mimic his aiya with an Aiya of my own but silly dad's downright naughty since he BELLOWS AIYA! after my copy of Uncle Wallace's initial cry.
• Back home, I use the loo for one 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.
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after I watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 147TH time, else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
