Wednesday Post 362

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding only 831 steps (hopefully will have cracked one grand before Wednesday finishes); secondly, my final, final plodding total from last night's actually 2236; thirdly, John Piper's devotional topic from las; fourthly, TWFT topic's "Don't Be A Mudslinger' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Worth It To Follow Jesus' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after I get back from table tennis with Bree!! Anyways, let's start off with last night's events first!

• After I'd used up the most important two hours of my day online, I headed over to the gobbling :P table and asked PIG mum please for some arvo tea.
• While slurping some delicious mango, I happily read for one hour.
• Before Bree arrived, I sat over the loo for two tinkles.
• FINALLY, we got the free parking!
• But another puny turnout: four. XD Still, we had lotsa fun and I gave my speech about Silver and Bronze! Only when I wibbled @ Neil that I was hungry, he reached into his bag and gave me a jar of ... chilli oil?! "I don't eat spicy food!" I wailed @ him. Then Neil looked @ the ingredients and said sorry, it contains peanut oil. That'd prolly kill you! XD
• At Maccas I got my pissy little UnHappy Meal with an orange juice and Bree had a McNuggets meal with a coke. Even cooler, she swapped chips with me! Dad Whatsapped me when we were waiting in line @ Maccas; the photos he sent looked like he was attending some wedding banquet!
• Back home, repeat the usual nightly events and zzz~
• Today: yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, 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*
• I woke again for the pot :P around 7:45am; my body's prolly accustomed to dearest dad leaving for work then. XD
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 361

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1736 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Danger Of Drifting'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Your Loved One's With The Lord" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Under God's Wings." Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 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*
• Around 7:45am I wake again for the pot :P; prolly an ingrained habit since my dearest dad's always left for work around this time!
• I'm awoken for one more pot :P trip one hour later; shortly afterwards, PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and tell me fifteen more minutes, meaning once Lena arrives @ 9am I immediately use the pot :P for one more tinkle and we get me kitted.
• After brushing teeth, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table.
• Breakfast is like two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix with some Minus :P, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh* Whilst I'm having breakfast, PIG mum's talking with dad and helping him sort out his documents coz today he's going back to China and visiting old old grandma's grave!
• 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 Lena's car. Thanks to her who helps me with my seatbelt (as she kindly does all day) and then she tootles me off to Breathe for physio.
• Physio today: 1.248km bike ride,  36 shoulder press per hand with 4kg dumbbell,  36 sit-to-stands with left and forward weightshift and 36 steps per foot then Pilates was lying on floor and doing bilateral raising of the arms before Elf practised dropping her thigh to the ground and raising it back up; a very unladylike movement! XD
• Physio done, Lena tootled us off to Pinelands Plaza and grabbed a trolley for us. After buying groceries from Coles I went ands bought a yummy crackling pork bahn mi from Aunty Nancy~
• Took a nice warm shower when I got home - 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 bahn mi and one big mug of white tea, although Lena couldn't find where sneaky PIG mum had  hidden the sweetener. XD
• At 2pm I went to sit over the loo for two tinkles while Lena asked PIG mum to sign her off. Typically, PIG mum kept yapping @ poor Lena and wouldn't let her leave for another two minutes. XD
• Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day, I'll head over to the gobbling :P table, read for one hour and ask PIG mum for some arvo tea.
  
• Bree's taking me to Toastmasters tonight with Neil Toastmaster; he's chosen 'Pets" for the theme but since I'm both warm-up and table topics master, I'm gonna base my questions on Halloween!
• Looking forward to bringing dinner back from Maccas; never mind that UnHappy Meals were what I ate like THREE Decades ago!! *sigh*
• Toms: Seeing Aunty Anna for some massage and acupuncture; bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ her. XD
• She also won't figure out have we got any groceries that need buying till toms, but hey.
• Think it's Bree taking me to table tennis? She'll see me home and showered before leaving @ 6:30.
• Have asked can anyone please gimme a lift to GG and back home afterwards since PIG mum refuses to drive @ night anymore ...
• Anyways, maybe bbl but if not, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 361d

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday bow stands @ 4031. Ha, I'm just over four grand; that doesn't happen very often! Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I happily played Jewel Quest for thirty-five minutes, singing along with a Westlife concert so PIG mum wouldn't realise that I was playing a mobile game. XD
• At 9pm, I walk 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: Lena's minding me 9-2. Will remember to get off the pot :P immediately after one tinkle to maximise mobile playing time after arriving @ Breathe. XD
• Mostly I'm just PISSED that mother has added THIRTY MINUTES to the hourlong session I'm already having with Eric toms;  I'm like, WTF?? With UQ physio finishing for the year I should be winding down and doing LESS physio, not bloody more! >< PIG mum says it'll be doing relaxing pilates stuff but personally I'm not convinced and will post a grumpy update onto Facebook toms morning. >< *sigh*
• Presumably will buy groceries with Lena @ Pinelands Coles after physio; fingers crossed PIG mum'll lemme buy a yummy crackling pork bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse.
• Looking forward to spending my most important two hours online of the day after Lena leaves and then reading for another hour before Bree comes and takes me to Toastmasters!
• Also looking forward to grabbing dinner from Maccas afterwards, never mind that UnHappy Meals were what I ate like three DECADES ago!! *sigh*
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  
  

Monday Post 361c

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3781 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Drink The Living Water. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• 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 warm shower for me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Rebecca who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was one yummy pear and two/three round crackers plus one mug of peppermint tea. Happiness was reading for one hour, reaching pg. 111 @ 5:01pm. While I happily read, Rebecca very gently and very sporadically massaged Ela, paying more attention to tapping @ her mobile. XD
• At 5:55pm, I sat once more over the loo for two tinkles. Next week, will haveta specifically ask Rebecca to come get me when it's time to go; I'm not sure did PIG mum offer to sign her off first and shoo her away/did Rebeca just wanna leave earlier, but if she's not gonna come early she'd better not leave early either! 
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 172ND time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• When PIG mum 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 potato, lotsa soup tomato and like two small but delicious chunks of PIG mum's eggy meat brisket.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of disgusting seaweed 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. Actually, the seaweed soup was so disgusting, I first went to the bathroom and rinsed my mouth out twice! XD
• 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 361b

 Heylo again, good afternoon 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 3069 steps (ha, I'm just over three grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Sin, Sickness, Satan/Sabotage'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'When God Gives You A Vision' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Smartphone Compassion'. Anyways, events for today?

• Nature called once @ 12:45am; I used the pot :P again around 7:45am before I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Then I snore happily with Pearl and Pijum until PIG mum's noisy daily a-THUMPING around upstairs wakes me for another pot :P trip. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum comes back to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom 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.
• After getting myself a spoon for breakfast (18th time I've had to get cutlery for myself), breakfast was two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix with 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 and she tootles me off to Ray's place for some acupuncture and massage. Obviously, she gleefully forces me to buckle my own seatbelt all day; we also listen to her mix of Chinese songs all day, too.
  

• At Ray's I use the loo for one tinkle and then lie down to get some massage and acupuncture from Ray. PIG mum's obviously in her elemeny, yapping ceaselessly @ Ray in not only Chinese and English but even Cantonese; my grateful thanks to Ray who always replied and kept a conversation flowing.

• After one more loo trip; PIG mum tootles us off to Sunny Park where we buy groceries from Woolies and then for the first time ever, we try LUNCH from SCSC; we've only had dinner before! 

• We each chose a lunch special: I had the chicken schnitzel with chips and salad (I ate one leaf, okay?? XD) while mother had the reef and beef lunch special. Very impressed that you got a complimentary glass of soft drink; just a pity I don't like fizzy drinks since it makes you burp through your nose funny. XD I didn't know the drinks were on the house; when the waiter first put them on our table I was like uh, sorry we didn't order this but he grinned and replied no it's free!

• After lunch, PIG mum tootles us home, I use the loo for one tinkle and then walk myself slowly and safely back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.

• Rebecca's minding me from 4-6pm. Looking forward to reading for one hour and also planning to watch the 6pm news for the 172ND time!

• Toms: Lena's minding me from 9-2 and taking me to Breathe for physio. Mostly I'm just pissed that she's added an extra  thirty minutes onto my session just coz UQ NAB physio has finished. She says it'll be relaxing for me and that Eric will just teach me yoga poses but I'm not convinced ... >< 

• Presuming we'll buy groceries together afterwards from Pinelands Coles; fingers crossed PIG mum'll also lemme buy a yummy pork salad roll for lunch from Aunty Nancy/Aunty Lisa!

• Looking forward to spending my most important two hours online and then reading while munching some arvo tea before heading off to Toastmasters with Bree! Looking forward to bringing some dinner home from Maccas, never mind that UnHappy Meals were what I had surely THREE DECADES AGO!! *sigh*

• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 361c

 Good evening again and  one final greeting for tonight! Em's  final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 1889. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I read and shared my Facebook memories.
• 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.
• 11am appointment to see Ray for some acupuncture and  massage. Usually I see Aunty Anna  Monday but she's asked I come Wednesday this week, hence why PIG mum's swapped my appointments around.
• PIG mum also said we could also have lunch out instead of dinner out tonight. Fingers crossed for somewhere with a HK-style milk tea!
• Rebecca's minding me 4-6; fingers crossed I'll get to read for one hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 172ND time after she goes!! 
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 1809 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Bring Your Losses To Him'. Righteo, continuing today's events?

• When PIG mum left for her weekly gossip and coffee session who can't be bothered to attend Bible study like my dearest dad does, I sat with Aggie and other girls and packed away fish cookies they would give out this arvo! Aggie placed each fish into the plastic bag and I sealed  them.
• Then 'twas lunch time! Dr. Esther grabbed two boxes for us: one teriyaki chicken and one tonkatsu pork; you choose first, she said! I  chose the tonkatsu pork coz I've never tried that before and  found out that tonkatsu pork comes with delicious sauce! I traded one chunk of pork for one slice of Dr. Esther's teriyaki chicken and thanks to her who walked with me once to the disabled toilet; I managed fine by myself and even remembered to head to the normal ladies toilet to get soap and wash Era afterwards!When the service time neared, I hiked upstairs and grabbed my preferred spot on the most left. Aunty Dolly sat behind me.
• Phew, I was allowed to stay seated for the two/three songs everyone sang. Peter Pie spoke, some OMF higher-up spoke and then Kalos and Aggie spoke before everyone was summoned for a big group photo! Thanks to Bernard who walked behind me to the front.
•  I sit beside Sylvia jie jie and Uncle Ching; when Sylvia jie jie asks how will I get home I answer mother said ring her for pickup once this finishes but she goes no, we'll drive you home!
• On the way out, I give Aggie one more big hug and we take a selfie together!
• While Uncle Ching was driving us home, we all spoke Chinese Mandarin!
• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle and then headed down to the gobbling  :P table and ate my fish bikkie for arvo tea; delicious!
• Then I plopped online for like ten minutes since PIG mum was napping.
• Took a nice warm shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was all done after only 10% but happily leaned fully against the side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before tapping the nice warm water off and calling PIG mum back.
• Once PIG mum dried my back and the back of the chair for me, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until Elf's AFO straps needed doing 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 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.
• Happily watched the 6pm news (Seven's) for the 171ST time. All the things I like recording are in  the previous post.
• 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 kailan and a little delicious meat brisket!
  
  
• Pity dinner was  gulped (not spooned, coz it's  pretty feral XD) with one bowl of seaweed 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.
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after one last bloo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight, the final, final spam count for the weekend plus what's happening Monday, else wishing everyone  a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 361

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1542 steps (*ha, I'm just over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Radical Recompense'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'When God Gives You A Vision'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'You Can Trust God' and fifthly, the spam count for the weekend's only sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and EIGHT MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news for the 171ST time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, for the first time in three days, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until I was woken by PIG mum's noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since I knew she'd get very noisy again one hour later!
• Like clockwork, PIG mum noisily a-THUMPING back upstairs one hour later awakens me for another pot :P trip; after this second pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Shortly afterwards, PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.

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.
• Woo hoo! I finally get ONE WHOLE CHOCOLATE MUFFIN for breakfast! :D I also drink one full mug of water, pop all my usual drugs :P and spend 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.

See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I use the climb into the backseat of PIG mum's 4WD and buckle  my seatbelt. PIG mum tootles us off to church, parking underneath the service hall. I hike up the ramp, use the disabled loo myself (but haveta walk next door and wash Era since the handle for the tap snapped off meaning no water came out but I'd already gotten soap) and then grab my usual spot for service, while PIG mum bolts off to CSS.
• Yay I get to stay seated for worship today. I sing everything, plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Scott Paisley from City Bible Forum. His sermon topic was The Powerful Impact Of God's Unremarkables.
• After service, I used the loo again, grabbed a pack of morning tea (usually one packet of Arnott's bikkies but today I saw and grabbed a packet of cheese Twisties!) and grabbed my usual spot @ the end of the morning tea area.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's, read by Katrina Blowers) for the 171ST time: Jade (first name), Dry, Cullen, Brady, Baxter, Maher, Bulley, Majed (first name), Reason, Netayahu (heard), Gallant, Hagari, Bland (heard), Farmer, Robson, Hope, Freedman, Wade (heard), Neesham, Ravindra, Yip, Brand, Holland, Pollard, Bland, de Graaf, Trudeau, Lester, Payne, Starc (heard), Clynton (first name), Head, Warner, Cummins, Jochinke, Reynolds, Sobey, Kostecki (heard), Kroehn, Meninga, Jelisa (first name, heard), Apps (heard), Hynes, Van Gisbergen, Burmeister, Kunowski, Bartlett, Hawks and Boevink.

Saturday Post 361b

 Heylo again, good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2731 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Lifeboat'. Righteo, just briefly, final, final events for for tonight?

• After I'd used up the most important two hours of my dayy, I used the loo for one tinkle and headed down to the gobbling :P table and  read till just after 6pm, because it's only Saturdays that I can spend a blessed three hours reading~ Today I reached page seventy-five @ exactly 5:15pm!
• After one tinkle, I wolfed down dinner and was on the couch ready to watch the test match between Australia and New Xealand before 7pm!
• When the first half ended we led only by two points; I used the lo9o for another tinkle  and called upstairs to PIG mum and asked for a muffin (one I baked yesterday with Grace)/some chips/any supper.
• Lol PIG mum didn't come down and gimme a *tiny* (the small lid) of delicious honey soy chips (my favourite flavour) and with that boost, we  ran away with the match, scoring even when there was only thirty-eight seconds left and victory was assured! XD
• One more loo  trip for me before I returned online~
• Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. Actually, the special thing's that I'm gonna attend that farewell lunch thing for Kalos and Aggie after service!  PIG mum  had said it's only for CM but Dr. Lee says no!
• Unsure how we're gonna have dinner toms night ...  did PIG mum say she'd buy takeaway from The Manjok?
• Righteo, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 361

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1698 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Possible With God'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "I'm Disciplined And Self-Controlled" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'More Precious Than Gold'. Anyways, events for today?

• Nature called once @ 2:50am; when Uncle Man knocked on the door  @ 5:10am the sun had already risen and I could see the clock time clearly! I banged the wall, yelled, "PIG mum, Uncle Man's here!" and used the pot :P once, 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*
• Aww, I feel loved: before leaving, I heard dearest dad tell Uncle Man "I need to kiss my daughter goodbye first" before he entered my room! I immediately sat up, and then stood up, to give him a great big hug and kiss. After he'd left, 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*
• Then Pearl, Pijum and I happily snore all the way until 9:50am before PIG mum's daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs wakes me for another pot :P trip! Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Mel's arrival @ 10am.
• Once PIG mum lets Mel in, Mel knocks, pushes open the door and calls out, "Good morning, Em!" When I flop one of Pijum's ears @ her, she asks, "Ten more minutes, right?" I gasp, eyes flying open. "It's fifteen!" I screech. Dang, Pearl's anatomically incapable @ giving the Bear Bum, but luckily Mel gets it and retreats, phew. XD
• After my fifteen more minutes, I call I'm hungry to Mel and swing myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle. Mel comes, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. After drinking one mug of water, I sit over the loo proper. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

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 she's fasting until dinnertime? Unsure why.

• For breakfast, Mel fried me one runny egg sandwiched between two slices of toast and one slice of cheese. I enjoy my first big mug of white tea, pop all my usual drugs :P and happily read the Wilbur Smith book for thirty minutes while Mel very gently massages Ela and taps @ her smartphone.

• While Mel closes and locks windows, I use the loo for one tinkle and then climb into her passenger seat. Thanks to Mrl who helps me buckle my seatbelt and then she tootles us off to Calamvale Central and parking outside Gongcha. Just a pity I can't persuade her to shout me a bubble tea. XD

• After grabbing a trolley for us, we first buy groceries from Woolies before I choose a tuna-topped inari for arvo tea.

• Back home, I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Mel who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

• Dried, creamed and rekitted, PIG mum had cooked me some surprisingly tasty fried rice with pineapple for lunch! I enjoyed two more big mugs of white tea; since PIG mum was nearby on the couch, I just leaned toward Mel, pushed the mug towards her and mouthed, "One more, please." Lol, she understood! XD

• At 1:55pm I sat over the loo for two more tinkles. PIG mum immediately signed Mel off and shooed her away. She's back same time next Saturday and has already finished uni for the year, lucky thing!

• Once I've used up my most important two hours of the day online, I'll head over and  keep reading the Wilbur Smith book, since it's only Wednesdays that I can spend a blessed three hours reading~ 

• Hopefully PIG mum'll feed me dinner while I'm watching the 6pm news for the 171ST time because after that, I'm watching the Kangaroos play the Kiwis! 

• Toms: just church, nothing special. Since PIG mum goes on her very informal 'fellowship' afterwards so hopefully she'll lemme out for lunch with my ESS peers! As  for toms night, I think she said we could try eating @ that tiny Korean restaurant @ Warrigal Square?

• Anyways, hopefully bbl else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 361c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 2597. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I spent twenty/forty minutes happily playing Jewel Quest.
• At9pm I headed to the loo for one more tinkle calling out to PIG mum please gimme the half a muffin dad said I could have. But she refused! I tried standing @ the stairs and wailing dad PIG mum won't lemme eat the half a chocolate muffin that you PROMISED I could have; ha, he came downstairs and microwaved it for me, even though I had to walk back to the gobbling :P table and have it.
•  Toms: dearest dad's leaving for three weeks! First he's flying down to Melbourne real early and then he's catching a plane to HK!
• Apparently Lena's minding me from 9-2? Why the extra hour earlier?
• But looking forward to my three big mugs of white tea and the opportunity to read for three hours!
• Since dad has left PIG mum'll not be taking me to table tennis ... will she also sit out badminton for three/four weeks, I wonder? Personally, I bet dad will only have been gone one day before she starts threatening to abandon me. XD ><
• Most exciting of all: toms night I'm planning to watch the Kangaroos play their next match in the RLWC!
• Anyways, hope  everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em./ ^^

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 2551 (ha, I'm just over two point five grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Keep Telling Your Story'. Righteo, continuing tonight's  events?

• After buying groceries @ Woolies, I take a comfy sofa seat and happily play Jewel Quest while Peggy goes and buys more groceries before driving me home, where    I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, Peggy makes me one yummy tuna in tomato and onion toastie with TWO cheese, HEAVILY buttered on the inside and one big mug of white tea with two sugars!! :D
• I sit over the loo for two tinkles @ 1:55pm before she leaves @ 2pm. Good timing - Grace arrives and makes choc chip muffins with me!
• While they bake I start reading the Wilbur Smith book for one hour and it's called Birds Of Prey. I reach pg. twenty-five @ 5:09pm.
• The choc chip muffin's DELICIOUS! :D After devouring mine, I use the loo for one tinkle and then plop online, happily watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 170TH time.
• Disappointment's finding out that dad won't take us out for one last dinner tonight since PIG mum explains don't wanna eat out and get sick before you travel. Over dinner I learnt she won't take me to  church and play table tennis either! May I get grumpy with her if she goes to play baddy while dad's away?
• After dinner (rice, lotsa bok choy and some chicken) I drink one mug of water, take the cup to the sink and then walk myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. 

• Righteo, hopefully bbl after 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 Saturday, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 361

 Good afternoon!  Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2433 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Medicine For The Missionary'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Jesus Is Coming Back Again!'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Three Kings'; fifthly, the spam count for the weekend's actually five and sixthly, the spam count for the week's fourteen but seventhly and way most  importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-NINE MINUTES online should I get to watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 170TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Grr, nature prevented me from starting an awesome sleep streak last night. >< *sigh* Never mind, 'twas still a sound sleep~
• After another pot :P trip around 6:20am, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• When PIG mum opens the door for Peggy @ 9:30am, Peggy knocks, opens the door, says good morning and waits for me to flap Pijum's ear @ her before offering us fifteen more minutes and wisely leaving after another ear flap from Pijum, even though he's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum. XD
• When Peggy comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who squirts some toothpaste for me.
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle and then head  out to the gobbling :P table with Peggy, who says she had her usual two hardboiled eggs for breakfast.
• For my own breakfast, I munch two plain (no honey) Weet-Bix. Unsure why PIG mum forgot my drugs :P but since there weren't any pills I gave the cup of water back to Peggy. 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 clumb into Ulrich and Peggy tootles us off to Calamvale Central after kindly helping me with my seatbelt. She parks underground and grabs a trolley for us.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 361c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for today now stands @ 3286. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• PIG mum comes to hit me with the eye gooo @ 8:44pm, saying get yourself off to bed @ 9:45pm. I'm sleeping first. Yay, Elf should get to wear her sock tonight~
• At 9pm, I walk myself once  more slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Toms: Peggy's minding me around 9-2. Will remember not to morgenmuffel @ her coz Summer's nearly here! XD
• Presuming PIG mum'll send  us oout to buy ingredients for cooking this arvo with Tiff and the student? Only my Chopping Board's  sulking: we're making choc chip muffins and won't need him. XD
• Oh, must remember to ask Peggy to grab me a new book to read, since  I finished The Book Of Abraham!
• Maybe I'll even get to watch the 6pm news for the 170TH time!
• Righteo,  wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms~
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Heylo again and  good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3016 (ha, I'm just over three grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'He Gave No Answer' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed NINETEEN MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, take two: events for today?

• ay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:10am 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*
• One hour later I'm woken by PIG mum's daily noisy sa-THUMPING around upstairs for another pot :P trip. Soon, she's let herself into the room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Karina's arrival @ 7:30am.
• Once PIG mum lets Karina in, she knocks and opens the door, before calling out, "Good morning, Emily; hitting the snooze button for fifteen more minutes". I flap one of Pijum's ears @ her and she  leaves; phew, coz Pijum's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum. XD
• When she comes back, I use the pot :P for three more tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who's squirted some toothpaste for me.
  Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Karina, rousing @ her for AGAIN not eating breakfast.
• For my own breakfast, I munched two dry (no honey) Weetbix with 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 toilet while Karina closes and locks windows. 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 Karina's car and she starts driving. I wondered why she turned left instead of right down Gaskell  St. and entered Warrigal Rd. instead of Logan Rd. but when she next turned into Daw Rd. I asked um, excuse me, where are you taking me? "Oh, oops! Karina realises her error immediately and chucks a u-turn. XD
• At the Garbo library, I use the ambulant loo once (since the disabled one's occupied) and then enter meeting room two, since the first one's locked. Karina sees me settled and then leaves for grocery shopping.
• Eight people attended today (seven members plus Avis Rob's wife); thanks to Mary who helped me once to the disabled loo once (also thanks to her who helped me retie Erf's shoelace when I came out) and thanks to Sattya who got me morning tea: not just two bikkies and one small cup of tea white and two. Not only that; I got an unripe banana to take home!
• Homework for our next meeting's 'door' (I'll wait and see if All-Poo continues our war before tying my reply XD) and after one more loo trip Karina tootled us off to C Cafe for lunch!
• She got the black bean chicken with fried rice (which costs three  extra dollars) with a Coke; I got the chicken thigh with onion sauce and a cold HK-style milk tea coffee. I was VERY impressed; not only did I get a HUGE serve, the onion SAUCE actually comes with SLICES of onion! I told Jacky on the way out and repeated I usually only come here when it's raining since I live closer to Woka; he has an eye for business since he said it's also fully air conditioned!  
• Back home, I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Karina who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted I pop online while Karina returns to clean the bathroom. At 3:45pm I head over to the gobbling :P table to sign her off with my thanks and byes. Actually, next week she's PROMISED to shout me aa bubble tea; wonder where we'll buy it from?
• Lol I thought PIG mum was hiking with some aunty so happily played Jewel Quest until I heard her a-THUMPING around upstairs and realised she was @ home! She came downstairs and fed me only strawberries for arvo tea (have forgotten why no cracker *sigh*) but since she just tapped @ her mobile and ignored me, I've played Jewel Quest for TWO HOURS today! :D XD
• Used the loo for two more tinkles before plopping online and watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 169TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• Once the news ended, 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 and  some pork.
• Dinner was washed down with one mug of water; after taking the mug 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.
• When nature suddenly calls @ 8:30pm, I walk myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, always  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Righteo, hopefully brb 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 end to the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 380

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1827 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "God's Final, Decisive Word'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'An Amazing Promise" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Don't Lose Heart". Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, for the first time in three days, awesome last night! Nature didn't call until 6:10am 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 initial 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 for another pot :P trip. 
• After dearest dad's kissed me bye, pretended to suck Pearl's SEVEN pearls, laughed his head off when Pearl body slams him for the cheek, retucks me back into bed 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 noisy daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Lena's arrival.
• Once PIG mum lets Lena inside @ 9am, she knocks, pushes open the door and calls good morning. When I flop one of Pijum's ears @ her, she laughs and asks us, fifteen more minutes? Another ear flop and Lena thankfully leaves; phew, since Pijum's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
• When Lena comes back, I use the loo for one more tinkle and we get me kitted, before I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That doone, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Lena.
• Breakfast's two plain (no honey) Weet-Bix with some Minus :P, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Thanks also to PIG mum who made me one mug of bitter coffee since the idiot right side of my head was slightly sore last night. 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, Lena comes with me once more to 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 Lena's car. Thanks to her who helps me buckle my seatbelt all day, and then Lena tootles me off to Breathe for physio with Eric.
• Physio today: 1.2km bike ride, thirty lat pull-downs per hand, 36 rows per hand, 35 sit-to-stands with left weight shift and boxing! Am just cranky that for the next four weeks I'll be coming for 1.5 hours and not one. >< *sigh*
• Our other stop's to Pinelands Plaza, where first we buy groceries and then to the Pinelands Bakehouse, where I get my once-weekly crackling pork bahn mi from Aunty Nancy.
• Back home, I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Lena who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• I had one tinkle before Lena flipped the nice warm water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Lena rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was doing Elf's AFO straps and one last when she was giving Wally back to Ela.
•  Back outside, lunch was my yummy crackling pork bahn mi plus one big mug of white tea. Just pity that horrid PIG mum had hidden the sugar. >< *sigh*
• PIG mum got home in time to sign Lena off with our thanks and byes @ 2pm. She's back same time next week.
• After I finished lunch, I sat over the loo for two tinkles, washed and dried Era 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.
• Once I've used up my most important two hours of the day online, I'll head over to the gobbling :P table and read for one hour. Hopefully PIG mum'll feed me some arvo tea; think she's napping on the couch right noow.
• Bree's coming @ 5:30pm and taking me to Toastmasters! Only expect another pissy attendance ... XD
• Looking forward to getting some dinner back from Maccas; never mind that UnHappy Meals were what I had surely THREE DECADES ago!! >< *sigh*
• Toms: PIG mum's taking me to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Bet she's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD
• Haveta submit my GCCW homework after getting home!
• Bree's taking me to play table tennis but unfortunately cake isn't coming till the week after. XD
• She's leaving @ 6:30 while I continue watching the 6pm bulletin happily for the 168TH time! 
• Hopefully PIG mum'll wake from her arvo nap in time to feed me dinner around sports report time, since I'm off to Peter Pie's house for GG toms night!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 380e

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2271. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post  I drafted my GCCW homework! But when nature suddenly called
  @ 8:25pm, I walked myself slowly and safely once 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.
• Once I'd completed my homework I happily played Jewel Quest for fourteen minutes~
  
  
• At 9pm, I walked myself slowly and safely once more to the loo for one tinkle and back, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Toms: Bree's minding me 9-2 and taking me to Breathe for physio with Eric. I'm just PISSED coz PIG mum has added thirty MORE MINUTES onto my session; WTF?! You'd think with the end of October and the year approaching, I'd be doing LESS physio, not MORE?! >< *sigh*
• Will hopefully bring back a crackling pork salad roll for lunch~
• Looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online after Bree leaves; should even get to read the Book Of Abraham for one hour since Bree's coming back and  taking me to Toastmasters toms night!
• Also looking forward to getting dinner from Maccas, never mind that UnHappy Meals were what I ate like three DECADES ago!! *sigh* 
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Tee hee I've managed FIVE posts tonight! Yeah I can usually do that some Mondays. XD But potentially not again, coz today I think Aunty Anna changed my appointment  for next week?

Monday Post 380d

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2059 (ha, I'm just over 2000 XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "Your Servant's Warned". Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• Thanks to PIG mum who let Rebecca in when she arrived two minutes early, thus saving me from a potentially dangerous trip to the front door. While she walked inside, I said, "Hi, Rebecca. Just gimme a sec please; I'm noting down the time." But it's Bree's mock-offended voice that answers, "Excuse me?!" Immediately I look up and apologise profusely. "Sorry Bree I didn't know you were coming today; CODA didn't ring us!" XD
• So a nice warm shower for me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Bree who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea's some delicious sliced strawberries, one tasty rice cracker and one huge mug of plain green tea. Happiness is getting to read The Book Of Abraham for one hour but still have twenty-five minutes to play Jewel Quest! As for Bree, she cleans the bathroom and then sits down to give Ela a nice long massage while playing with her mobile.
• At 5:55pm, I sit over the loo for two more tinkles and then sign Bree off with my thanks and byes. She's back 5:30pm toms and taking me to Toastmasters!
• Happily watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 167TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• Once the news ended, 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.
• For some reason, dad orders me to get cutlery for everyone? That's the 18th time this year I've had to.
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy broccoli, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup onion, two tiny slices of ham and two tiny chunks of pork. I'm just unsure why before placing my bowl in front of me, dad scoops out 4/5 of the rice first? *sigh*
• Dinner's spooned down with onbe 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 toms, else wishing everyone a smashing Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 380c

 Good afternoon! Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 1702. Anyways, continuing today's events?

• Nature usually calls hourly after that initial daylight pot :PO trip, but happiness was snoring soundly with Pijum and Pearl until dearest dad very thoughtfully walked down the hallway and unpopped the lock into the garage before waking for another pot :P trip.
• After dearest dad's kissed me bye, retucked me back into bed, pretended to suck Pearl's SEVEN pearls, laughed his head off when Pearl body slammed him for the cheek and left for his hard day's work, we happily cuddle and snore, me using the pot :P once more when PIG mum's noisy daily a-THUMPING around upstairs wakes me. Soon, she's let herself into hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum comes back to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom 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.
• First, PIG mum orders me to get myself a spoon (17th time this year I've had to get myself cutlery). Then she gleefully forces poor Ela to open the fridge door; once the milk's on the bench she gleefully forces poor Ela to hold the carton while Era unscrews and pours the milk. That done, she again gleefully forces poor Ela to hold the milkj carton and orders I return the milk carton to  the fridge; unfortunately, silly Ela's grip wasn't tight and she drops the carton on the floor. Era mustn't have done up the cap tightly enough coz milk goes spilling everywhere ... I sit while mother mops the mess up; obviously she's ranting the entire time saying how everything's my fault but FINALLY she leaves me in peace to munch down my minus :P cereal with some Weet-Bix and milk, 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 she tootles us off to the Warrigal Square Woolies to buy groceries.  Back home, I use the loo again 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 make myself a dry (unbuttered) toastie with one slice of cheese. Wonder why PIG mum LOVES giving me orders so much? Does she really think I'm that brain damaged I honestly don't know how to put together a tuna and cheese toasted sandwich? XD
• But finally I get to enjoy my toastie with one delicious mug of Chinese tea, and dearest baba comes home and has lunch with me too~ 
• Both PIG mum and I visit the loo once more before I climb back into the backseat of her car and she tootles me off to Richard's Pain-Free Clinic to see Aunty Anna for some massage and acupuncture. Oh, have I said yet? Obviously, she gleefully forces me to buckle my own seatbelt all day and we also listen to 97.3FM all day too.
• At the clinic, before lying face down for treatment first Aunty Anna checks both wrists for my pulse and then says show me your tongue? Actually, she feeds me a slice of orange fruit (I thoought yucky rock melon but PIG mum says 'twas pawpaw? Still yucky. XD) The chunk of seedless watermelon was much jucier and yummier~
• That done, I lay facedown and got some massage and acupuncture. I enjoyed and relaxed under her firm ministrations, letting PIG mum's incessant yapping lull me to sleep again. XD Thankfully, I didn't snore! XD
• Back home, I used the  loo for one tinkle and walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Rebecca's minding me from 4-6pm; looking forward to reading for another hour!
• Also looking forward to watching the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 167TH time!
• Toms: Lena's minding me 9-2. Personally I'm just grumpy that PIG mum has booked me for an extra thirty minutes of physio @ Breathe toms with Eric; heylo, with the end of the year approaching, surely I should be doing LESS physio, not MORE?? >< *undeniably pissed* *sigh*
• Hopefully PIG mum'll lemme grab a yummy pork salad roll from the Pinelands Bakehouse for lunch after I buy groceries for her @ Coles,
• Looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online and then hopefully reading for one hour before Rebecca comes @ 5:30pm and takes me to Toastmasters! Also looking forward to getting some dinner back from Maccas, never mind that UnHappy Meals were what I ate @ LEAST THREE DECADES ago!! *sigh*
• Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,

Monday Post 380b

 Heyning 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 1250 steps (the previous Wally needed his total dividing but I'm suspicious that this one needs his total multiplied since he's not given me many @ all only PIG mum seems to think that he's accurate?)(; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Hedonism For Husbands And Wives'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Not Self-control But Spirit Control and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Surrenduring To God but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-FOUR MINUTES online after I get home from seeing Aunty Anna!! Anyways, events for today?

• Nature called once @ 12:45am last night; I used the pot :P again this morning around 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*
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good morning! :P

Sunday Post 380c

 Good evening again and probably one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's probable final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 4489 (aw, sorry, not quite 4.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "God's Abundance." Anyways, probable final, final events for tonight?

• After Ingrid grabs the parking permit, she tootles us back to Garbo and psrks where the library used to be. We hold hands and walk to the upstairs food court, where's there's a bubble tea place! Once mother cancelled my Garbo shopping trips more eateries must've opened; Ingrid came back with a menu and got us drinks but she said oops sorry I ordered your chocolate pearl milk tea WARM?? Doesn't matter! Her own drink had THREE toppings: pearls, grass jelly and pudding!
• While we drank, we just chatted; after finishing we were walking away when I recognised the place as where Mrs. Hoppie shouted me Chinese egg waffles and went ooh can we please and Ingrid said definitely!
• How cool: we shared egg waffles with TIM TAMS and a scoop of chocolate ice cream! Have I said before? Ingrid's five years older than me and comes from Shanghai! She's working as some manager with her engineering degree but has just started her MBA and wow, where she studies looks really luxurious! The cutest thing? Her dog Wombat (a border collie) is called WOMBAT! XD
• Back home, I took a nice warm shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was all done after only 9%, but happily leaned fully against the side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before tapping the nice warm water off and calling PIG mum back.
• After PIG mum dried my back and the back of the chair for me, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until my bra strap needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
• Once I dried 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 online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Happily watched the 6pm bulletin for the 166TH time. Was watching Nine's but when the connection suddenly cut, thanks to PIG mum who turned on Seven's for me to watch from the television.
•  Afterwards, PIG mum said I could return online until 7:10pm and then use the loo before we went out for our once-weekly family dinner? Only dad returned home two minutes early and she IMMEDIATELY ordered that I leave, threatening to leave me home alone and have dinner out with dad herself when I didn't move right away? Lol, perhaps she's grumpy coz she didn't get her arvo nap. XD
• We had dinner @ Ho Lin Wah and obviously I got piss little but hey, I'm used to that. The most noticeable thing was that dad accidentally knocked a glass cup onto the floor which smashed; immediately both waitresses were present clearing up the glass fragments while dad and I both said sorry!
• Back home, I used the loo for one more tinkle and 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: hope PIG mum helps me up and takes me grocery shopping somewhere else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
• After having lunch with dearest dad @ home, toms arvo I'm seeing 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
• Presume it's Rebecca minding me from 4pm till 6pm? Hopefully I'll get to read for one hour!
• Also hope I'll get to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 167TH time!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3679 (ha, I'm over 3.5 grand XD) but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY-EIGHT MINUTES online should I get to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 166TH time!! Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• Once service finished, I used the loo once more myself, grabbed a packet of bikkies for morning tea and took a seat.
• After PIG mum rushed off for her gossip and coffee session /very informal 'fellowship' with some other church aunties, dad hauled me off to the Rochedale Hungry Jack's for lunch. 
• Score, instead of a simple cheeseburger I got a junior whopper today and I even shook a free soft serve cone!
• Afterwards, dad tootled us home. I used the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era 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.
• Tootling online for awhile, @ 1:55pm I sat over the loo for two more tinkles and then sat by the front door waiting for Ingrid coz she wasa taking me to arvo tea @ 2pm!!
• Ingrid drives a Tesla; that's the first time I've sat in an electric car before! They're strange coz they haven't got proper door handles and they don't even have a hand rest to hold @ the top of the passenger seat to hold, which made getting in and out rather awkward but hey, I managed.
• We'd just turned into Logan Road when I remembered I'd forgotten to take my parking permit! I rang PIG mum saying we'd come back for it and Ingrid chucked a neat u-turn where dad usually does one when taking me to Dr. Lee's place for GG.
• 
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Anyways, events for today?

• Nature called once around 12:45am and PIG mum woke me for another pot :P trip when she began her daily noisy a-THUMPING around @ 7:05am. Soon, she'd let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with only the bra strap and the tee (because dearest dad's still home) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes.

• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt. She gets in too and tootles us off to church, parking under the main hall.
• I hike upstairs and use the disabled loo once myself before grabbing my usual spot :P for service. PIG mum bolts off for CSS.
• Yay, I get to stay seated for worship today~ I sing everything, plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Didn't catch the speaker's name today but his sermon was from Genesis chapter two and afterwards, Peter Pie led communion.

• At 8:55pm I'm suddenly summoned over to the gobbling :P table for another slice of PIG mum's delicious green tea cake!

• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the toilet for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. 

•  Tonight's ice cream night, yay; like I say every week, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Toms: Peggy's minding me 9-2. Will remember not to morgenmuffel her after she gives me fifteen more minutes. XD
• PIG mum's baking and hasn't decided what she wants us doing toms ... I'm gonna guess groceries @ Calamvale Central?
• Grace (she's twelve years younger than me) will come give Ela one hour of impractical and unfunctional hand exercises. Personally I'm hoping she'll bring me a cup of bubble tea! XD
• After she leaves, I think I'll prioritise going online to reading; I can read toms night when dad hauls me somewhere because PIG mum's found two former work colleagues to shout her out for dinner!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing end to the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
