Friday Post 470

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2242 steps (aww, how come I couldn't have plodded twenty steps less?? 2222 would've looked cooler! XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Triumphant Shame Of The Cross'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Meditation For Beginners'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Heart For All" and fifthly, the spam count for the week's fifteen but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-ONE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 178TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until the noisy garbage truck THUNDERED down our road @ 6:05am to tip bins; 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*
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 470e

 Good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2181 (ha, I'm over two grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'How Small We Are'. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• Mr. Hall announced his arrival five minutes late; once the doorbell rang, I called coming and headed straight for the door calling for dad to come too please!
• Like I've been taught, before opening the door I called out hello and who's there? Mr. Hall replied but he wasn't talking to me; he was on his mobile! Since I recognised his voice anyway, I opened the door anyway; once his call was finished I invited him in!
• A hug for me, a handshake for dad and I went to sit down @ the computer. Mr. Hall sat down beside me and we just caught up.
• When dad said dinner was ready I invited Mr. Hall to please grab a seat first; I joined after using the toilet for one tinkle.
• Dad cooked yummy fish and chicken for Mr. Hall and either parent saved a mouthful of rice for me! ^^ Over dinner we all chatted~
• After dinner Mr. Hall had coffee with like FIVE sugars while PIG mum made me one small cup of white tea with like half a sugar. 
• Cake time! PIG mum did a GREAT job this time! I helped. XD Personally I prefer cheesecake to sponge cake but 'twas yummy enough that I asked for seconds!
• When Mr. Hall left around 8:40pm we all walked him out and yay, he says we can catchup once more before he goes for his Christmas holiday~
• One more tinkle for me before I returned online; also thanks to PIG mum for a pad change~
• Tonight's ice cream night, yay! Like I say every  week; a very little's better than none @ all~
• Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9-2. Presuming PIG mum'll send us for walkies @ Calamvale Central? Will ask Peggy to please find me a new book to read~
• Tiff's coming to give Ela one hour of unfunctional exercises and then next week should be her last week; I wanna cook sth with chocolate!
• Fingers crossed I can read for one hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 178TH time!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 470d

 Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 1806. Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• Thanks to PIG mum who let Mel inside when she announced her arrival one minute late; turns out she's  been busy all day.
• So a nice hot shower for me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Mel who helped me rinse out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed  and rekitted arvo tea was one juicy pear and a packet of powdered instant HK-style milk tea.
• Happiness was reading for one hour; I reached pg. 525 pm, finished pg. 550 @ exactly 5:30pm and FINISHED THE BOOK @ 5:31. I reached pg. 555 @ 5:33pm but the timer went off while I was still reading the glossary. Should I finish it/find a new book to read?
• Before Mel left I used the loo once more for two tinkles. She's back same time next week.
• Waiting for Mr. Hall's arrival now! Depending on how late he leaves I may not be back tonight?
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing end to the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^ 

Thursday Post 470c

 Good afternoon again! Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 1623. Ha, I'm over 1.5 grand. XD Anyways, continuing events for today?

• When dad came home from grocery shopping @ Coles, he whipped up lunch and I was summoned.
• Dumplings are my FAVOURITE food! Just a pity I wasn't even given the standard six (only five) and PIG mum wouldn't even get any soya sauce for me; no, she ordered I get the bottle myself but then wouldn't lemme pour it; she gave me LESS than half a spoonful and then ordered I return the soya sauce to the fridge. *sigh*
• Lunch was washed down with one huge mug of green tea; after taking the cup to the sink I used the loo for one more tinkle and then returned online.
• Someone had better come and mind me from 4-6pm this arvo!
• Most excitingly, Mr. Hall's coming for his belated birthday dinner tonight! Will hopefully post once more after the carer leaves @ 6pm and maybe even again should Mr. Hall leave around 9pm~
• Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9-2. Presuming we'll have walkies @ Calamvale Central?
• Tiff's coming to give Ela one hour of unfunctional exercises once Peggy leaves.
• Fingers crossed I can spend my most important two hours of the day online, read for one hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 178TH time!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Almost forgot! XMas Wishlist due toms!!

Thursday Post 470b

 Heylo again, good afternoon and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I get the chance to post online before   midday. XD Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1487 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Only Conscience-Cleanser' thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Do What God Says' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Trusting God' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY-SIX online after lunch!! Anyways, events for today?

• Lol, when nature called shortly before midnight I was like yay, should score another awesome night's sleep but who knew idiot nature would call again with another full bladder?? >< XD Still, no complaints; 'twas still a sound sleep~
•  When nature called again after the sun  had risen, 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*
• Around 9am I woke for another pot :P trip; this time I could hear the parents discussing sth presumably over breakfast.
• Shortly afterwards PIG mum lets herself into my room to  hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with not only the bra strap but the tee since dearest dad's still @ home before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first. PIG mum comes back to finish with only 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 too the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Breakfast was one bowl of 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*
• 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 down to the Warrigal Square Woolies to buy stuff for Mr. Hall's birthday dinner tonight!
• Back home, I use the loo for one tinkle and then sit down and help PIG mum start making MR. Hall's birthday cake!  Once I've measured and poured all the dried ingredients for her, she sends me away and continues making the cake herself.
• Fingers crossed I'll get lunch soon ... it's nearly 1:05pm!
• Also hope someone remembers to come mind me from 4-6pm!
• Best of all, tonight Mr. Hall's coming over  for his belated birthday dinner! Surely PIG mum will FINALLY lemme write his birthday card for him??
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 3009. Ha, I just scraped past three grand. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• At 9pm, I walked myself 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.

• Even worse, horrid PIG mum's already said she won't take me out for lunch!! ><

Wednesday Post 470b

 Heylo and good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 2823 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Sink Your Roots Deep' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed SIXTEEN MINUTES online after I visit the bathroom once more  @  9pm!! Righteo, continuing today's events?

• After getting myself a spoon (34TH time this year I've  had  to get myself  cutlery ><) breakfast was  two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix with a very light scattering of Minus :P over the top, 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*
• Breakfast finished, 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. She gets inside also and tootles me off to see Aunty Anna for a massage. Obviously, she gleefully forces me to buckle my own seatbelt all day; we also listen to her mix of Asian pop music all day, too.
• At Richard's Pain-Free Clinic, I lie down and get a comfy massage from Aunty Anna. Unsure why she says don't have acupuncture while you're having your period, but the massage was very comfortable~ I even managed to stay awake and didn't fall asleep through PIG mum's unceasing yapping @ Aunty Anna! XD
• Afterwards, we bought groceries from the Warrigal Square Woolies before heading home.
• Lunch was a tuna in tomato and onion toastie (obviously unbuttered) with one slice of cheese and one delicious mug of Chinese tea. Since PIG mum was feeling antisocial and sat on the couch watching YouTube over lunch, I happily propped both feet up onto the footstool, let Ela remain down in my lap, muted my mobile and played Jewel Quest. XD
• Jacinta took me to play table tennis @   2pm! Think Uncle James said practice's the only way to become a more consistent server.
• Came home for a nice warm shower - 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, I sat out @ the gobbling :P table, Jacinta went and cleaned the bathroom and PIG  mum fed me one huge mug of green tea.
• Happily watched the 6pm bulletin (Nine's) for the 177TH time. All the interesting surnames I saw: Higgins (heard), Higgins (heard), Bleijie, Palaszczuk Luhrmmann (heard), Reynolds (heard), Wilkinson (heard), Toutai (first name), Kefu, Croucher, Burrows, Kohler,  Bullock, Chalmers,  Birch, Kelsie (first name), Lambe, Inglis, Burgin, Stefan, Potts, Milton, Probyn, Liu, Bouris, Dix, Fegan, Hand, Netanyahu (heard), Law,  Richter, Miles, Gottlieb,  Te Whare, Kini, Hasler (heard), Beimson (heard), Maxwell, Wade, Hefferman, Ariotti (heard), Dufficy, Shorten, Quinlan,  Albanese (heard),  Lfitte, Genders, Arvier and Genders. 1AUD =66.63USc. Garry Youngberry read the weather report from Kangaroo Point. Brisbane was 20-31 today.  Brisbane tomorrow: 21-33. Mt. Gravatt toms: 19-33 Sunrise 4:33 Sunset 6:38
• Once the news finished, I walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• When summoned   to dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. 
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa little tong vegetable, lotsa  soup carrot,  lotsa  soup potato, lotsa  soup tomato and one pork soup bone with most of the meat already removed.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the 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.
• 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 hope everyone's having a smashing week!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently down the   hallway and pulled the bathroom door shut @ 6:35am; after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep coz  I knew he'd  be getting ready to leave for work one hour later!
• Yup, exactly one hour later, dearest dad again very thoughtfully walks silently along the hallway and   unpops  the  lock into the front door, which wakes 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* Am grumpy with self, coz by then I'd already clean forgotten the dream I was having!  >< *sigh*
• After dearest dad kisses me bye, retucks me back into bed, pretends to suck Pearl's SEVEN pearls, laughs his head off when Pearl body slams him for the cheek and leaves for his hard day's work, Pearl, Bluekirby and I happily cuddle and snoore, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing 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 help with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and  both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :(  me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• After getting myself a  spoon (34 - bbl!

Anyways, events for today?

• Grr I was just gonna begin an awesome sleep streak when idiot nature called @ 12:45am and ruined it! ><" Still, 'twas a sound sleep, so no complaints from me~ 
• After nature calls again once   the Sun has risen,  I used the pot :P again and then spend ten minutes  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 dearest dad comes to kiss me bye @ 7:45am before leaving for his hard day's work, I use the pot :P once more. Dad also pretends to suck Pearl's SEVEN pearls and laughs when Pearl body slams him for the cheek. XD
• Pearl, BlueKirby and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking for one more pot :P trip shortly before PIG mum begins her daily   noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself to hit me with the eye goo and say fifteen more minutes before going back out to await Lena's arrival.
• Sweet when Lena   comes, she gives me another fifteen more minutes! Phew, coz I still had four minutes left for the original fifteen more minutes. XD
• When Lena 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. That done, I used the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Lena.

See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into RIX's passenger seat, Lena kindly helps me with my seatbelt (as she kindly does all day) and tootles me off to Breathe for physio with Eric.
• Physio today: 1.428km bike ride, 36 step ups per feet each foot taking turns t lead, 36 assisted pull-ups, 36 shoulder press per hand with 4kg dumbbell and boxing! Phew that's the last 1.5hr session but ugh that I've  been booked up to go until the week of Christmas... *sigh*
• After using  the  Loo once, Lena tootles us off to Pinelands Coles and grabs a trolley for us. After we buy groceries from Coles, I get my once-weekly crackling pork bahn mi from Aunty Lisa. Didn't see Aunty Nancy today.
• The skies bucket down just as we're going home! While Lena heads inside to find PIG mum and get an umbrella, I ring dearest dad and let him know that I'm home.

• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch is my delicious  bahn mi and one big mug of delicious Chinese tea.
• Before Lena leaves I quickly use the loo for one more tinkle.

• Rebecca's taking me to our last formal meeting for Toastmasters   this year for 2023! Already two can't make it; there may only  be three attending tonight. XD But I finally get a MILKSHAKE with  my UnHappy  Meal!! :D
• Toms: PIG mum'll help me up, since she's taking me to see Aunty Anna for some acupuncture and massage. Bet she's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ her. Oh, maybe no acupuncture coz I've having my monthlies right now? Suppose I'll  just nap then. XD

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3026 steps (ha, I'm just over three grand XD); secondly, John piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Jesus Prays For Us'; thirdly, TWFT  topic's "Meditate On God's Word" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Serving For God's Sake" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-FIVE MINUTES online after Rebecca  minds me from 4pm till 6pm and I watch the 6pm news  for the 176TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night!  Nature didn't call until 6:05am and after one pot :P trip I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh* But not only that, I remembered another dream!! :D  For my 18th remembered dream this morning; I'm playing some HARP!! Oh, I wish I could tell Miss Amies about it; PIG mum says she came to visit me when I was in the acute ward and left me this CD of her playing harp!
• Nature usually calls hourly after that first daylight pot :P trip but happiness was  snoring soundly until dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently along the hallway and unpopped the lock into the garage before waking and relieving myself again.
• After dearest dad kissed me goodbye, retucked me back into bed, pretended to suck Pearl's SEVEN pearls, laughed his head off  when Pearl body slammed him for the  cheek, said he'd try come  home for lunch and left for his hard day's  work, I happily cuddle Pijum and  snore, waking once more for  the pot :P shortly before PIG mum begins her noisy a-THUMPING around  upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and   help 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.
• PIG mum returns to finish with only 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.
• Aww, dearest dad  left me the  final pork floss  bun for breakfast~ <3 I also drank one full mug of water, popped all my usual drugs :P and spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• Breakfast finished, 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, since she's obviously never gonna help! (Unless some aunty's  around and she can show off what a 'good' mum she is. XD) PIG mum gets in too and tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage.
• I use the loo once on arrival and then lie down for some acupuncture and massage. PIG mum's in her element, yapping ceaselessly @ Ray; my grateful thanks to Ray who always answers and keeps a conversation flowing~
• After one more tinkle, PIG mum tootles me off  to like Springwood Central for the Cyber Monday Sales and we got the closest disability park, woot!
• At Target I picked up this  really cute pyjama set  with two gingerbread men; one's whole and grinning but the other  has had a chomp taken from his head; his expression's o_O! XD
• Yay, dearest dad hadn't  left home when we arrived back for lunch; big hugs and kisses for him~
• Lunch was  one yummy tuna in tomato and onion toastie with one slice of cheese cut into two rectangles, another cup of coffee (damn PMS ><) and one big mug of delicious Chinese tea.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2732 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Live To Please God'. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• Once I'd used up the most important two hours of the day online, I headed over to read the Kylie Chan novel for one hour and wait for PIG mum to wake up, come downstairs and feed me some arvo tea.
• I had to let PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela to feed me a pear but I didn't mind too much since I was seated and could fully concentrate. Then I went back to reading; I reached pg. 375 @ 3:42pm and finished pg. 400 @ 4:19pm.
• Then 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 10%, but happily leaned fully against the side rail before tapping the nice warm water off and calling PIG mum back.
• After she dried my back and  the back of the chair for  me, Idid everything else and she didn't feature again until my bra strap needed  doing up, both laces needed  tying and Elf's AFO straps needed sticking.
• After I dried the loo lid, I sat for one tinkle, stamped both feet dry, dried inside both ears, washed and dried Era  and then walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for TH time.
• Used the loo for one tinkle and then got into the backseat of dad's 4WD.
• *sigh* Dinner was @ SCSC again; even worse, I'll not get my once-weekly lunch out come Thursday coz I've run outta funding! >< *sigh* But the new chicken Florentine (pronounceed teen, not tine) was good; I liked the mash potatoes that came with it!
• After dinner, dad drove us home and 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 brb after one last loo trip @ 9pm with  my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight, the final, final spam count for the weekend  plus what's  happening Monday, else wishing everyone  a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,

Sunday Post 469

 Good afternoon!   Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1628 steps (ha, I'm over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's   'Glorify God By Giving Thanks; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'God Will Rescue You' ; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Who Am I?' and fifthly, the spam count for the weekend's just one. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call  until noisy PIG mum woke me with her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs; 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*
• PIG mum let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with not only just 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 only 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 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 of the yummy little pork floss buns that I helped PIG mum make last night!   I also pop all my usual drugs :P and drain one tall cup 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 car and buckle my own seatbelt. She gets in too and tootles us off to church, parking outside the downstairs hall. I hike up the ramp, use the disabled loo once, walk to the normal ladies' loo to wash and dry both hands and then grabbing my usual spot in service @ the most left.
• Yay I get to stay seated for worship today!  I sing everything, plus   the harmony for four songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Peter Pie with another sermon from his Unhurried series and afterwards there was communion, meaning service actually ended three minutes LATE  today!
• After using the   loo again,  I grab a  packet of MSG bikkies and take a seat @ the table.
• PIG mum left for her coffee and gossip social with the other aunties who can't be bothered attending Bible Study like  my dearest dad does and dad   ordered I walk around to the back where the early lunch was starting!
• Thanks to Peter Pie who walked behind me to get my plate of Vietnamese food  that the aunties had cooked for us but I dunno the name of the girl who got food for me. XD
• We sat around one big table; think there were four/five others? I felt like I was sitting @ the wrong table coz  there were @ least three doctos and an OT there while  I'm just stupidly nothing! >< XD
• Afterwards, Charlie walks back around with me over to the front and Dr. Lee organises Rosanna to gimme a lift home.
• Dad's just leaving for baddy with his mates and arvo tea when I get home; I use the loo for one tinkle and then walk myself slowly and safely back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Once I've used up the most important two hours online of the day I'll head over and read for one hour. Hopefully PIG mum'll lemme eat another pork floss bun although apparently, she's already said only strawberries. *sigh*
• Dad had better take us for CHINESE food somewhere tonight and gimme ONE bowl of food!!
• Toms: seeing Aunty Anna for some massage and acupuncture but I've forgotten whether it's morning/afternoon. Will come back home for lunch with dearest dad, though, and hopefully PIG mum takes me grocery shopping somewhere else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
• Rebecca's minding me from 4-6pm; hopefully after she leaves I'll get to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 174TH time!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl ellse wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 464c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight!  Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ exactly 2500 (okay, 'twas actually 2497 but that number pissed me off enough that    I pushed the chair back, stood up, took three small steps forward while dragging the chair   behind me before sitting back down again. XD PIG mum demands I get offline   @ 9:45pm but I'll have not used up my most important two hours of the day until 10:02pm, so will try to keep her talking. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• Dried, creamed and rekitted, Jacinta quickly cleaned the bathroom and I signed her off with my thanks and byes @ 4:45pm.
• PIG mum fed me one yummy pear, half a flavoured rice cracker and  my other cup of white tea with one spoonful of honey for arvo tea.
• Then I read all the way till past 6pm; think  I've actually read for 4.25 hours  today! :D I reached pg. 300 @ 5:07pm, reached pg. 325 @ 5:29pm, reached pg. 333 @ 5:52pm, reached pg. 350 @ 6:15pm and reached pg. 375  @ 6:59!
• Before plopping online,  I used the loo and did another stinky unspeakable.
• When the parents summoned  me over for dinner,  I used the loo for one tinkle and  then walked myself slowqly 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  little  tong vegetable, lotsa soup carrot, one chunk of  leftover roast  pork, one  slice of chicken and  two strands  of   the fettucine carbonara I'd made with Tiff yesterday.
• 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 once  more slowly and safely to the loo  for  one more tinkle and   back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. Actually, the special thing's  that EM lunch will happen afterwards! Wonder what the aunties will cook for our lunch?
• Braced  for a  stressful arvo @ the  hands of PIG mum ...   >< *sigh*
• Dad had  better take us out to CHINESE food for dinner  and   gimme ONE  bowl of rice!

  Cheers,

Saturday Post 464b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2283 but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after I visit the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• PIG mum came back to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, after which I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth.
•  Teeth brushed, 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!
• Aww, PIG mum fried me one soft egg for breakfast; she even put a little avocado on the dry (unbuttered) and obviously unbuttered toast for me! 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*
• Since PIG mum had some kinda medical appointment, she left me with the home phone and the television on. I happily started reading from 9:40, reaching pg. 111 @ 9:44am and pg. 125 @  19:02!
• Whoops I thought Jacinta was  coming   one hour earlier than her scheduled time; @ five to I sat over the loo for two tinkles  and then sat by the door waiting  for her arrival but dad came home and  said she's not coming for another hour!
• PIG mum got home to gimme a toastie for lunch and dad poured me one mug of  water. I sat over the loo once more then just inside the front door. When  Jacinta was   late PIG  mum said that's  strange she's never  late; exactly  then, CODA rang to say she was late!
• Think she arrived  around 11:40am?  When I asked her had she been stuck in traffic she just answered family business and I knew not to pry further.
• Phew  I was late but the comp hadn't started   yet!
• Neil WON the international and Helen placed in her evaluation!
• Obviously I didn't place  for Table Topics but I'm hoping I came second-last and not dead last coz when we were  leaving, one  of the judges told   me the results were   *very* close and  I *nearly* placed! XD
• Jacinta drove me home and I showered quickest coz  she was  leaving @ 4:45pm! Thanks to her who helped me to rinse my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Mother had ordered that I walk from the carpark to Woolies to buy groceries and walk back with Peggy to her car before getting to sit back down inside Sparkless3 but after buying groceries @ Woolies, Peggy told me to sit down and she went back and got the chair for me!  When I asked her didn't mother demand I walk too? She just gestured impatiently @ the chair; I got the message, laughed and sat down. XD
• PIG mum already ordered no more teddies and books; originally, I had chosen a Chip and Dale nightie that was $27 but she suddenly rang and screeched that's too expensive; get sth that's actually on sale! In the end I found a beige cushion with a really pretty pattern that cost like eleven bucks.

Thursday Post 464

 Good afternoon!  Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding   2474 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Key To Spiritual Maturity'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'You Are A Wonder' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'A Thanksgiving Blessing'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night!  Nature didn't call until noisy PIG mum woke me with her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs; after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since I knew she'd get very noisy again exactly one hour later!
• Like clockwork, noisy PIG mum a-THUMPING around upstairs exactly one hour later woke me for another pot  :P trip; after which I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit   me with the eye goo while I excitedly share my newest dream with her: Bear Bear went and saw a vet concerning neck pain and was advised to get a neck brace! XD
• After PIG mum lets Karina inside @ 7:45am, Karina knocks, pushes open the door and calls out good   morning. I flap Pijum's ear @ her in response giving another earflap when she says hitting the snooze button for fifteen more minutes and she thankfully leaves; phew, since Pijum's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum. XD
• When Karina returns, 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 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.
• Breakfast is two plain Weet-Bix (no honey) with a light scattering of Minus :P over the top, all my usual dreugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, I sit once more over the loo. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Karina's car and she tootles me off to the Garbo library for GCCW. Thanks to her who kindly helped me buckle   my seatbelt all day.
• At the library, I used the loo once and found   out the meeting was in meeting room two today.
• Ten attended today; one was a new Chinese girl called Catherine who wasn't born until 2000/2007!  Ken and Dennis had a verbal  stoush and Ken left during the morning tea break? For our last meeting for 2023 next month, homework topic's 'The Holiday' and All-Poo already barred me from talking about my teddies. XD   Thanks to Mary who helped me once to the disabled loo @   morning tea break and Sattya who got me white tea and two packets of bikkies~
• When GCCW ended, Karina took me once more   to the loo and   then we had lunch @  C Cafe!
• She got the lunch special onion with pork chop  and Coke while I got the deal Jacky gave   me: baked pork chop rice with a cold milk tea. The waitress even gave me a free soup! :D
• After lunch, Karina drove me home and     I showered     half-fast - 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 booted the computer up while Karina returned and   cleaned the bathroom; @   3:30pm I went with her over to the gobbling   :P table and signed her   off with my thanks and byes. Unfortunately, she's not back next Thursday coz   my support got cut! >< 
  Cheers,
• I happily read Kylie Chan's novel for one hour  while  waiting for PIG mum to wake from her arvo nap oon the couch and gimme arvo tea.

Nature didn't call until 5:25am (I love how early the Sun rises now) 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*

Tuesday Post 463

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1872 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Five Reasons Death Is Gain'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Pray For A 'Sympathy Breakthrough" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's  'Precious To God'. Anyways, events for today?

• Grr I missed out on getting an awesome night's sleep by like three minutes; nature randomly called @ 12:03am! Never mind, 'twas still a sound sleep~
• Nature called again around 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*
• Nature usually calls hourly after that first daylight pot :P trip but happiness was snoring soundly with Pijum, Pearl and Bluekirby all the way until 7:35am, when dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently along the hallway and unpopped the lock into the garage before waking again for the pot. :P
• 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, retrieved  Bluekirby for me  (since he's round, after he fell  outta bed he rolled outta reach XD) and left for his hard day's work, we all happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more foor the pot :P when 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 before returning outside and awaiting Lena's later arrival @ 9:15am.
• Lol, by the time Lena arrives, I've nearly fallen back asleep! I use the pot :P for one tinkle, we get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth, then sit over the loo for one tinkle.
• After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table.
• Breakfast is two plain (no honey) Weet-Bix lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P on top, 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 sat 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 Rix, Lena kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt (as she does all day) and tootles me off to Breathe for physio with Jacky.
• We're early, but head inside to wait since it's only cloudy but not raining.
• Physio today: 1.468km bike ride, 36 sit-to-stands with left weight shift, shrugging to keep shoulders level, 36 shoulder press per hand and boxing! Pilates is lying face down, opening left thigh and moving left scapular.
• Afterwards, Lena tootles us off to Pinelands Plaza and grabs a trolley for us before we buy groceries from Coles.
• Our other stop's the Pinelands Bakehouse for my once weekly bahn mi. Didn't see Aunty Nancy today; Aunty Lisa served me.
• Back home, I took 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.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was my delicious crackling pork bahn mi plus one huge mug of the green tea with the powder Aunty Nga sent me.
• At 1:55pm I sat once more over the loo for two tinkles; I presume PIG mum signed Lena off and shooed her away coz when I was coming outta  the bathroom, Lena had already exited the front door. She's back same time next Tuesday.
• Gonna goo read now for  one hour and hope for some arvo tea; got a Zoom meeting happening tonight!
• Toms: seeing Aunty Anna for some massage and acupuncture. Bet PIG  mum's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ her. XD
• Think Jacinta's taking me to table tennis afterwards?
• Then guessing GG's back @ Peter  Pie's/Dr. Lee's place?
• Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^@^

Monday Post 463d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight!  Em's final, final plodding total for   Monday now stands @ 2944. Sorry, not quite three grand; maybe toms. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous I edited and then sent around my GCCW homework, since Allison has been pressuring me to send my homework around earlier.
• Meaning I only had five minutes to play Jewel Heroes. Dearest dad said good night first and went upstairs around 8:45pm.
• 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: Lena's minding me 9:15pm till 2:15pm. Usually, her shift's 9-2 but CODA rang and asked could she come and leave fifteen minutes later since she has sth else happening first. Originally, I thought sweet, I'll get fifteen minutes extra sleep-in, but PIG mum was like I'll give you fifteen more minutes @ 9am and you can get up when Lena arrives @ 9:15am. But what if she comes early?? >< XD
• Lena's taking me to Breathe for 1.5hrs of physio with Eric. Am GRUMPY, because that will mark the ONE HUNDREDTH HOUR of blasted physio that I've endured this year.  >< 
• Suppose I'll cheer up if she lets me buy a crackling pork salad roll from the Pinelands Bakehouse for lunch after we buy groceries from Coles.
• No Toastmasters toms night but instead we're having a Zoom meeting from 6:30pm till 7:30pm! Will remember not to watch the news~
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 463c

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @2909 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Let The Redeemed Give Thanks'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

•  happily read for one hour, finishing pg. 550 @ exactly 4:55pm and FINISHING THE BOOK @ 5:092!! I asked Rebecca to please grab me one of the other books I bought from the last Lifeline Bookfest; she couldn't find that but instead returned with Star Trek's Insurrection! I happily read that until my total reading time reached one hour, and then I switched to playing Jewel Quest for about twenty-five minutes. Think toms I'll ask Lena to find me a new book to read; as much as I'm a Trekkie, for  some reason I don't feel like reading one?
• At 5:55pm, I used the loo for two more tinkles and then signed Rebecca off with my thanks and byes. I'm her last shift today (she had two before me) but needs to buy sth from Coles before going home. She asked me where the nearest one was; I guessed the Sunnybank Plaza one/the Pinelands Plaza  one?
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 172nd. All the things I like recording are in Monday's first post.
• When dearest dad summoned me over for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely 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 little tong vegetable, lotsa soup carrot, several slices of fish, one chunk of tasteless soup pork, one wee chunk of yummy chicken and two small pieces of black fungus.
• 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 last loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events foor tonight plus what's happening toms, else wishing everyone a smashing Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 463b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2815. Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• 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 meant to be one yummy banana  and two plain crackers, only I acidentally knocked the container on the flooor and the two crackers rolled out! >< Rebecca binned them but when I asked her for two more please to replace the two that died she said she didn't know where mother  had hid them. When I wibbled @ her she'd better find me sth else to nibble instead, she searched the cupboard, found PIG mum's stash of honey soy chicken chips and gave me a little container! I happily read -bbl!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 463

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2263 steps today; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'We All Need Help'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Being Friends With God (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Priceless Results'. Anyways, events for today?

• Nature called once around 1:50am last night, I woke again for the pot :P when dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently along the hallway and pulled the bathroom door shut @  6:35am, after which I immediately fell back asleep since I knew ge'd get ready to leave for his hard day's work one hour later!
• Sure enough, exactly one hour later, dearest dad again walks very thoughtfully silently down the hallway and unpops the lock into the garage, which wakes me again for another pot :P trip. After this second trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• After dearest dad kisses me bye, retucks me  back into bed, pretends to suck Pearls's SEVEN pearls, laughs his head off when Pearl body slams him for the cheek, I happily snore so throughly that I miss PIG mum's usual daily a-THUMPING around upstairs and don't wake until she comes to hit me with the eye goo!
• I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, she surprisingly helps me exceedingly slightly with not only the bra strap but the tee and  then she  leaves 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 only Elf's AFO straps and  both shoelaces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Teeth brushed, 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 (33RD time I've had to get  myself cutlery this year ><) breakfast was two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix sprinkled with some  Minus :P over the top, 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 car and buckle my seatbelt. PIG mum gets in too and then tootles me off to Calamvale to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage.
• I use the loo once on arrival, then lie down and get some treatment from Ray. Lol, poor Elf really has sh*tty sensation; when I told Ray what he was doing to my left foot hurt and I wanted to kick him in the face with my right foot, he laughed, did exactly the same to my right foot and asked  how does  that feel? Really comfy! I answered, surprised. You mean you're doing the same for both feet??
• Afterwards, PIG mum and I leave a script @ the Warrigal Square pharmacy. I sit while she queues; this Indian man's holding his little girl and I play peekaboo with her! When she giggles I stick my tongue out @ her; she laughs and pokes her tongue right back out @ me! Her dad notices and we exchange greetings; I turn to the little girl and ask how old are you, two? Three? She proudly sticks up her thumb, poointer and middle finger and chants back, three!
• While waiting for dad's prescription, mother and I head over to Woolies and buy groceries. Aww, too bad: when we return to the pharmacy to collect and pay for (it's REALLY EXPENSIVE!! O_o) they'd already left~
• Back home, I used the  loo for another tinkle and then sat down to Whatsapp baba, saying we've got your medicine but you already left! Dad immediately Whatsapp videocalled me~
• PIG mum asked did I want a toastie/rice leftovers for lunch; obviously I said toastie since I didn't feel like getting myself another spoon for lunch! Like I told her, I only need rice for dinner~
• That was washed down with one delicious big mug of green tea; after sitting over the loo for one tinkle 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.
• When CODA just rang, I nearly had a heart attack, thinking that Rebecca couldn't make it AGAIN! o_O Thankfully, she was ringing for another matter~
• Rebecca's minding me from 4-6pm today. Fingers crossed for the chance to read for another hour!
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 172ND time.
• Toms: Lena's minding me 9:15am-2:15pm. PIG mum's already said she'll gimme fifteen more minutes @ 9am and I can get up right away once Lena arrives.
• She's taking me to Breathe for physio with Eric for 1.5 hours. I'm just grumpy cooz that session will mark the ONE HUNDREDTH HOUR of blasted physio I've endured this year. >< *sigh*
• Presuming we'll buy groceries @ Coles Pinelands and get my once-weekly crackling pork bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse before coming home and showering.
• After Lena leaves @ 2:15pm I'll spend my most important two hours of the day online and hopefully read for an hour.
• Suddenly there's a special Zoom meeting for Toastmasters from 6:30pm till 7:30pm! Will remember not to watch the 6pm bulletin~
• Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2911. Aww, not quite 3000. Maybe toms. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post I read and shared the She Reads Truth daily devotional.
• Then I tried taking some quiz about Thanksgiving. Did awfully; don't even know when Thanksgiving is!! XD
• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to  the  loo for one tinkle and back, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Toms: PIG mum'll help me up, since she's taking me to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Bet she's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him.
• Hopefully she'll take me grocery shopping afterwards somewhere, else expect a super-pissy  plodding total from me.
• Rebecca's minding me from 4-6pm. I've a feeling CODA will ring toms morning and say she can't come. XD
• Fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 172ND time!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
