Thursday Post 294b

 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 3722 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Five Purposes For Suffering'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Treasure Your Children' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's All-Star Humility' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and ELEVEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 29TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:20am, and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Outta habit I wake again for the pot :P around 7:45am coz that's usually when dearest dad leaves for his hard day's work but since he doesn't come and kiss me bye I presume he's got Thursday and Friday off again so after another pot :P trip, return to happy snorings with Pijum and Pearl.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 294c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 2108. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• Back home I shower my quickest and then munch one yummy banana with my second mug of green tea for the day while happily watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for 28TH time. I visit the loo for one more tinkle before signing Minjum off with my thanks and byes. All the things I like recording from the news are in the previous post.
• Once the news ended, 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 I'm summoned over for dinner, I use the loo for one tinkle and then walk myself slowly and safely over to the gobbling :P table, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy cauliflower, lotsa soup carrot, about two pieces of fish maw and one tiny chunk of soup pork.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.

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

• Toms: sheesh, PIG mum's taking me to see some new psychiatrist. Guess she wants to keep me drugged up? I suppose she's like DYING to diss me but I'm just gonna take it all like water off a duck's back and just ask the psychiatrist can she please not put me on anything that makes me dull and unresponsive? I'd rather keep my wits about me, thank you very much.
• Would love my usual Thursday lunch out but that's not looking likely ...
• Also dunno yet who's minding me from 4-6pm toms but have e-mailed Michelle about it and hopefully she'll ring toms and inform PIG mum.
• Also hope dad will take  us out for dinner together after I watch the 6pm news  bulletin for the  29TH time!
• Anyways, hope everyone's having a smashing week!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 294b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 2021 (ha, I'm just over two grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "God's Timing" but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed     FIFTEEN MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• Usually, nature calls hourly after that first daylight pot :P trip, but happiness was snoring soundly with Pijum and Pearl until dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently along the hallway and unpopped the lock into the garage @ 7:45am before waking again for the pot. :P
• After dearest dad has 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 axct and left for his hard day's work, Pearl, Pijum and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking about one hour later and using the pot :P once more, shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around  upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with 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 and then using the pot :P once more afterwards.
• PIG mum returns to finish wqith absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both shoelaces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I wash and dry Era before walking 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 (ending January with having to get myself cutlery ten times *sigh*), breakfast is one bowl of poor drowned Tiny Teddy cereal :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*
• 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 I wash and dry Era, I climb into the passenger seat of PIG mum's 4WD, won't haveta sit in the backseat until late Feb, when the car door gets fixed!Obviously, she gleefully forces me to buckle my own seatbelt all day and tootles me off to see Aunty Anna for some treatment.
• Today, I get massage, acupuncture and cupping from Aunty Anna. After cupping, she has me flip back onto my back and massages Erf's thigh! Meaning she still hurts but less than this morning~
• Before going home, PIG mum and I buy groceries from Woolies.
• For lunch, I have a tuna toastie with one slice of cheese and one big mug of green tea from Aunty Nga. After eating, I happily play the HP version of Bejeweled coz it's given me thirty minutes of free  lives and I pass two more levels!
• At 1:55pm I sit once more over the loo for two tinkles and then greet Minjum when she arrives @ 2pm; it's the first time I've seen her this year!
• Minjum takes me to para table tennis and sweet, for the second consecutive week, there's cake! :D I play one round with Uncle James; he's going to Japan and HK for one month soon!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

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 publishing the previous post, I happily played on my mobile for one whole HOUR! :D
• 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: seeing Aunty Anna for some massage and acupuncture. Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ her; me, I should stay awake since it's still morning but never understimate the power of PIG mum's soporific voice ... XD
• Hopefully we'll buy groceries afterwards before coming home for  lunch (coz I'm all but certain PIG mum won't lemme out for lunch) otherwise expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
• Minjum's taking me to table tennis toms arvo; I think it's the first time I've seen her this year!

Tuesday Post 293b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 3560 (ha, I'm just over 3.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Giving Grace'. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• When Lucy announced her arrival two minutes late, thanks to PIG mum who let her in, 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 Lucy 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 banana, about half a tasty cracker and my second mug of green tea for the day. Lucy cleaned the bathroom and then sat and gently massaged Ela for more than one hour while we just chatted. She's got one younger sister who's eighteen and will start studying business management @ uni this year!
• At 5:55pm I sat over the loo for two more tinkles while PIG mum signed Lucy off with my thanks and byes.
• Happily watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 27TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• Once the news finished, 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, three small chunks of fish maw and one little chunk of pork. Suddenly I remember I forgot to attend the Toastmasters meeting after the news but the parents order I finish dinner first!
• Skipping soup, I take my bowl to the sink and then 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.
• Whoops, the meeting has already ended. ^^" I apologise profusely to Steph, who has don't worry and says our next meeting will be online too. Will miss out on one Unhappy meal, then ... >< *sigh*
• PIG mum passes me one mug of water and demands I drink it.
• Read and shared the She Reads Truth devotional.
• 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 Wednesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 293

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3004 steps (ha, I'm literally just over three grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Caused To Return'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Hear God's Voice" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Jesus Our King' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed SEVEN MINUTES online after Lucy minds me for two hours, I watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 27TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:20am (when dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently along the hallway and slid the bathroom door shut) and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since PIG mum said she'd gimme fifteen more minutes @ 7:30am, meaning she'd doubtless awaken me with her a-THUMPING around upstairs @ 7:20am!
• Like clockwork, PIG mum going THUMP THUMP THUMP  bac upstairs exactly one hour later wakes me for another pot :P trip, after which I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Soon, PIG mum's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with not only the bra strap but the tee (since dearest dad's @ home; you can bet she won't help with that toms) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first. Dearest dad stands in the doorway and we blow each other kisses goodbye; no physical hugging this morning since he's not feeling well and will see Dr. Ku tonight after finishing work.
•  PIG mum comes back to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, telling me that CODA just rang and informed her that Lena can't take me to physio today because she's just called in sick! >< Will someone else take me? I ask her; she replies they're asking agency now.
• When I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth, the phone rings. I hope it's CODA saying they've found a carer to drive me to UQ but when Michelle starts the call with "I'm so sorry" I know they haven't found anyone and poor PIG mum will haveta skip her pilates class and drive me. *sigh*
• After I brushed teeth, I sat over the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era and then walked myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Breakfast was one bowl of poor drowned Tiny Teddy cereal, 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 passenger seat of PIG mum's 4WD and buckle my seatbelt. She gets in too and then tootles me off to the NAB.
• We arrive early but I only have time to post one sentence on Facebook before mother orders me to get outta the car and enter the NAB. After I use the loo for one tinkle and wash and dry both hands while PIG mum uses the loo herself, we're still so early that we just take a seat into the waiting room before heading into the NAB @ 10:50am.
• Since it doesn't take ten minutes to walk down the hallway into the NAB, I'm still quite early and just sit in the fat lady chair and chat with Liz until she says let's go.
• Physio today: Lotsa mat work with one (left) and two-point kneeling, transferring from mats to plinth four times and eight laps short hallway walking. Not going again Thursday coz I'm seeing some new psychiatrist and then the Tuesday after's already Liz's last day!
• After one more loo trip PIG mum tootles us back to Pinelands Plaza where we buy groceries from Coles (but she's mean and won't lemme use Green Sticky ><) and then I introduce Aunty Nancy and Aunty Lisa to PIG mum when I buy my once-weekly bahn mi from Pinelands Bakehouse!
• Back home, I use the loo for one more tinkle then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Lunch is my delicious bahn mi plus one big mug of powdered green tea from Aunty Nga. PIG mum sat on the couch to eat lunch, meaning I didn't haveta place Ela onto the table and I gotta play the HP version of Bejeweled - I've passed three levels today!
• Used the loo for one more tinkle before popping online.
• Lucy's minding me from 4-6pm today.
• When she leaves, I'm gonna watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 27TH time and then join the Toastmasters Zoom meeting thirty minutes late before having dinner.
• Toms: seeing Aunty Anna for some massage and acupuncture toms morning. Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ her.
• Will hopefully go grocery shopping and aisle walking with mother afterwards else expect a sup-er pissy plodding total from me.
• Bree's taking me to table tennis toms arvo! Any chance there'll be cake for the secoond-straight week?? XD
• Hoping to watch the 6pm news for the 28TH time!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl tonight, else wishing everyone a smashing Wednesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 27TH time: Fegan, Boekel, Ferguson, Greer, Sharma (first name), Rose, Geran, Morgan, Makey, Renwick, Starc, Garland (heard), Rivers, Moffat, McVeigh, Bavas, Purchas, Fleur (first name), Kohler, Schutte, Alta (first name), Djodan, Simmons, Leapai, Papenhuyzen, Miles.

• After publishing the previous post, I read and shared the She Reads Truth daily devotional and then happily played the HP version of Bejeweled for fifteen minutes.
• 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: PIG mum'll gimme fifteen more minutes @ 7:30pm then I'll follow the usual morning routine until Lena comes @ 8:45am and takes me for a 10am NAB session with Liz.
• Will buy groceries from Coles afterwards and buy my weekly bahn mi for lunch but won't shower after getting home since Lucy's minding me from 4-6pm and I'll shower then!
• Have Toastmasters via Zoom toms night but I'm planning to watch the 6pm news first. 
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,

Monday Post 293b

 *confused* How come the number Wally read this arvo was 4686 but now it's only 2566?! Huh, whatever. >< XD Instead, I'll just note down that Joni's devotional topic's 'The Right Words'. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• Breakfast was one bowl of poor drowned Tiny Teddy cereal, 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 toilet, 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 4WD and buckle my seatbelt (since obviously, PIG mum won't help during the day). She tootles me to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage.
• Lol, she's so EXCITED to start yapping @ him she already starts repeating syllables thrice while I'm in the bathroom before treatment! XD
• Ray gives me some massage and acupuncture with moxa. I particularly like it when he gives my shoulders CPR,; it's slightly painful but really comfortable! I can see PIG mum jeering that it's comfortable coz I hunch too much. *sigh*
• Can't remember did we buy groceries from the Warrigal Square Woolies before getting home ... think so?
• Had a plain tuna toastie with one slice of cheese and drank one big mug of green tea from Aunty Nga and then just played the HP version of Bejeweled since PIG mum had changed the roster and got Lucy to come from 2-4pm not 4-6pm because originally Grace the OT was coming to give Ela  one hour's worth of unfunctional hand exercises but this weekj Grace isn't coming till Friday, @ 2pm when Peggy leaves!
• PIG mum and I both answered the door when Lucy announced her arrival @ 2pm and then I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Lucy 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 big mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of some syrup, one yummy  banana and when I asked Lucy for a cracker/biscuit/chocolate she found me two wee little Cadbury chocolates!
• After she cleaned the bathroom, she sat and gave Ela a nice long massage and we just chatted.
• At 3:55pm I used the loo for two more tinkles and then signed Lucy off with my thanks and byes. She's back toms 4-6.
• I was ready to tootle online but instead, PIG mum ordered I practise the ukelele for fifteen/thirty minutes? Didn't matter; I was seated and could fully concentrate.
• When PIG mum finally left me alone to enjoy my most important two hours  online, I stopped to watch the 6pm news  bulletin (Seven's)  for the 26TH time. PIG mum tried to summon me over for dinner @ 6:41pm but I replied 9f you can't wait twenty minutes, please eat first.
• 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 I've forgotten which vegetable, one piece of fish maw, one slice of tasteless soup pork and one yummy chicken ball with mushroom inside!
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely online, again  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events fore toonight plus what's happening toms, else wishing everyone a smashing Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 293

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4686 steps (sweet, I'm over  4.5 grand; that doesn't happen often!); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'How To Repent'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Hold Fast' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Sharing By Caring' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news (Seven's) for the 26TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd 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*
• Usually, nature calls hourly after that first daylight pot :P trip, but happiness is snoring soundly with Pijum and Pearl until dearest dad very thoughtfully walks silently along the hallway and unpops the lock into the garage @ 7:45am before waking again for the pot. :P
• After dearest dad kisses me bye, retucks me back into bed, promises to try come back home to have lunch with me today and leaves for his hard day's work, Pijum, Pearl and I all happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before 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 finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.

Sunday Post 293b

 Heylo again, good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 5680 (ha, I'm more than half a normal person XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'When Gifts Aren't Good" but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TEN MINUTES online after having my once-weekly Facebook Messenger videochat with Aunty Nga @ 9:45pm!!! *sigh* What a crummy way to end an otherwise good day ... *sigh* Righteo, just briefly probable final, final events for tonight?

• Sat for worship @ church this morning; sang everything plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Peter Pie with the first sermon from his new series Undivided
• Rosanna tootled me off to Woka Warrigal for lunch with other ESS people.
• Peter Pie and Yu Lam tootled me off to the local high to watch people play sport! I played my mobile. XD
• Got home and took a nice warm shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sing 15% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
• Aunty A shouted us dinner @ Your Personal Chef for dearest dad's birthday! I waited until AFTER she'd paid the bill before telling her how cheeky dad was when he asked me did I think Aunty A would mind if he invited Uncle Calvin too. I told him just say yes, thanks and where would you like to eat lest she take her offer away! XD
• Got home, used loo for one tinkle, gave dearest dad  his birthday card and present and then returned online.
• Toms: late morning appointment to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap endlessly @ him; me, I'm just thankful that I've finally enjoyed a HK-style  milk tea for the first time in three weeks! XD
• Will hopefully buy groceries and go aisle walking with mother afterwards else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
• Have just emailed Michelle asking for the roster since I dunno who's minding me 4-6 toms.
• Hopefully I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 26TH time!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 293

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4780 steps (ooh, maybe I'll crack half a normal person before the night ends! XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'He Knows Your Need'; thirdly, TWFT topic's '"Fulfilling God's Plan For Your Life"; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Gift Of Grace" only seven but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and FIFTY MINUTES online should I get to watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 25TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

•  Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until noisy PIG mum woke me with her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs @ 6:20am and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since I knew she'd get super-noisy again exactly one hour later!
• Like clockwork, @ 7:20am PIG mum's noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs wakes me for another pot :P trip, after which I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Come 7:30am, PIG mum's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and  help me exceedingly slightly with not only the bra strap but the tee (since dearest dad's 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 and finishes 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 oout to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. 
• Breakfast is one bowl of poor drowned Tiny Teddy cereal mixed with the yummier (flaky) bird food (what DSr. Ku calls All-Bran XD), 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 

Cheers,

• Em. ^^

Saturday Post 293b

 Good afternoon again and probably one final greeting for today! Em's probable final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2761. Righteo, probable final, final events for today?

• Nature called again around 6:20am; I suppose my body clock's just used to that time being when noisy PIG mum went a-THUMPING around before she went for her half-day's work! 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*
• The next time nature call's 7:45am; I guess that's my body clock's call for the time when dearest dad usually leaves for work! XD
• Nature calls once more around 9am, when I'm woken due to PIG mum's daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with not only the bra 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. Whilst doing so, 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*
• 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 drinkm one big, tall glass of water before sitting over the loo proper. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I 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.
• Score, for breakfast I get another fried egg on toast with one mug of white tea sweetened with a squirt of honey! I spend the morning happily playing the HP version of Bejeweled since you're usually given free lives during the morning! Will remember not to check toms before church. XD
• Before leaving, I use the loo for one more tinkle, climb into the backseat of dad's 4WD and buckle my own seatbelt.
• Dad tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace and parks undergroound.
• First we buy groceries from Woolies. I don't like shopping with dad: since I'm not a fan of shopping myself, I'd write a list, find each item and then check out, but dad likes to wander EVERY SINGLE AISLE and look @ things! >< XD
• Dad ordered I take each item through the self-serve checkout and then return each item to the trolley while he just stood there watching me?
• While he went to find a table for us @ food court, PIG mum and I both used the bathroom once.
• Lunch was two nibblrs of some 'yuu darn' (say that in Canto) sushi and like thirteen strands of yummy udon.
• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle and then booted the computer up and tootled briefly online until dad said time for table tennis!
• Only six people came today, meaning we got to play non-stop! I'd screech whenever dad hit harder/played tricky shots on me and Uncle Albert would tell dad off. XD
• Best of all, when PIG mum arrived to take me home, Aunty Carly randomly gave me a box of Lindt chocolate!
• Back home, I take a nice warm shower - I wash and rinse my own hair today. I also sing 15% of my shorter second-favourite song softly, slowly but most hatefully out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
• I had one tinkle before I flipped the nice warm water off; after PIG mum dried my back and the back of the chair for me, I dob everything else and she doesn't feature again until my bra strap needs doing up, Elf's AFO straps need sticking and both laces need tying.
• After drying the loo lid, I sit foor one tinkle, stamp both feet dry, dry inside both ears, wash and dry Era and then walk myself slowly and safely back out to the gobbling :P table, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Arvo tea was my delicious honey chicken sushi roll plus one more big mug of white tea with one squirt of honey.
• Before returning online, I used the loo once more for one tinkle.
• I mightn't return tonight since dearest dad's invited the Slams and Aunty A over for his birthday toms!
• Toms: just church, nothing special. Fingers crossed I can have lunch with other ESS people afterwards!
• Braced for a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum but dad had better take us out for dinner toms night and gimme ONE bowl of rice; actually, it's his BIRTHDAY toms!
• Righteo, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church come Sunday!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 293

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2203 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Giver Gets The Glory'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Just As I Am' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Refreshing Words' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR  and THIRTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after I get home from playing pong pong this arvo!! Anyways, events for today?

• ARGH, I just needed ONE MORE NIGHT to score my first week of consecutive awesome sleeps but nature goes and ruins it @ 1:50am when she nudges me awake and demands I use the pot! >< Well, last year I managed twelve weeks of these weeklong awesome sleeps; wonder if I'll get any this year? Anyhow, PIG mum says it doesn't matter that nature calls during the night because  I can easily fall back asleep afterwards. 
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 293c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Friday's now 3631 (ha, I'm over 3.5 grand XD) and secondly, the final, final spam count for the week's now ten. Ha, it reached double digits. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post I started drafting my GCCW homework.
• 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: won't get a fried egg for breakfast  since that's what PIG mum accidentally gave me today; wonder will she gimme a mug of white tea with one spoonful of honey/save that for arvo tea?
• But dad says he'll take us out for walkies somewhere and I'm gonna get my once-weekly sushi roll for  arvo tea.
  
• looking forward to playing table tennis @ church with dearest dad toms arvo~
• Then, excitement: dad's invited the Slams and Aunty A over to our place for his early birthday party!

Friday Post 293b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 3455 (so should have cracked 3.5 grand before the night's out) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Be Late For Something'. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• When dearest dad summoned me over for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa lettuce, lotsa cucumber, three/four little bits of tinned pineapple pieces, lotsa carrot and three strips of yummy chicken.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl oof soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.

• Righteo, hopefully bbl after 9pm following one last loo trip with my final, final plodding total for the day, the final, final events for tonight, the final, final spam count for the week plus what's happening toms, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,.
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 293

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2749 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Delayed Deliverances'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Insecurity In Leadership; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'No More Prejudice' and fifthly, the spam count for the week's just eight. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 5:25am and after one pot :P trip I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*

   

• From habit, nature called again around 7:35am (usually, dearest dad leaves for his hard day's work @ 7:45am) but after another pot :P trip, Pijum and I happily cuddlr and snore till I'm a woken a third time for the pot :P around 9am, when PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with not only the bra strap but the tee (since dearest dad's home) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.

• PIG mum comes back only to finish with 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.\

• Lol, PIG mum thought today was already Saturday; for breakfast I got one fried egg on dry (unbuttered) toast spread minutely with avocado and one big mug of white tea with one squirt of honey! Guess I'm having cereal toms instead! XD PIG mum went swimming and my Harry Potter version of Bejeweled  gave me thirty minutes of free lives which dad allowed me to happily play - and I passed two lives!

  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!

• Unsure why dad demanded I play table tennis with him until PIG mum got back from swimming and showered; no biggie since I was seated and could fully concentrate. Besides, when PIG mum returned home, she ordered dad to lemme win! XD

•  Dad tootled us back to Capalaba Park! You've gotta ascend two escalators to reach ground floor and dad went to buy us mini bahn mi for lunch from Van Dough while PIG mum walked behind me to the food court. I saw some new Boost Juice flavours like cookies and cream and wanted to try one; pity PIG mum refused but @ least she accepted a request for gree tea mango mantra, although I'm unsure why dad got up me for slurping too fast? You can't: it's too thick! XD

• Afterwards we bought groceries from Coles before dad tootled us home.

• Back home, I took a nice warm shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sing 15% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.

• Once I flipped the nice warm water and PIG mum dried my back plus 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 I dried the loo lid, sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped both feet dry and washed and dried Era, I walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.

• Arvo tea was one yummy banana, three (no longer crunchy) 'U'-shaped snack things and one huge mug of plain green tea.

• That finished, I walked myself slowly and safely back online after sitting over the loo for one more tinkle first.

• Came back to attack the oreo cookies with the rolling pin since PIG mum's baking a birthday cheesecake for dearest dad!

• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 23RD time!

• At 4:40pm I walked myself once slowly and safely too 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.

• PIG mum has summoned me over twice to help with making dad's birthday cheesecake; first, to flatten the oreo cookies with the rolling pin and then again to mix the philadelphia cheese after unwrapping them from their packets!

• Toms: presuming PIG mum will take me out somewhere for walkies and  lemme buy my once-weekly sushi roll for arvo tea?

• Also presuming dad'll take me to church to play ping pong with him~

• Gotta remember to write dearest dad's birthday card for him: he's invited the Slams and Aunty A over toms night for his early birthday party!

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

• After publishing the previous post, I chatted with Cath over Messenger and played the HP version of Bejeweled, passing another level!

• After physio, I use the loo for one more tinkle and then Angelica tootles me home - yay that she bought me a warm dirty chai! :D Traffic was awful: there were TWO crashes and once Angelica had to give way to some ambulance with lights blazing and sirens wailing!
• Back home, I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Angelica who helps me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted arvo tea's one yummy banana, one big mug of plain green tea and half a tasty rice cracker.
• Before Angelica left I sat over the loo and did another stinky unspeakable before signing her off with my thanks and byes. Hope she'll come back again soon and bring me another free drink; I pinged her for dropping two swear words today! XD
• Used the loo twice more for one tinkle myself before happily watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 22ND time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• When I was summoned 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 lettuce, lotsa winter/hairy melon, lotsa soup carrot and like two small chunks of chicken.
• 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.
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip with my final, final plodding total for  today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening Friday else wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!

Thursday Post 293

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1970 steps (so must have passed two grand before the day's out XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic's from last night's 'Served In Serving Others'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Be Disciplined' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Strange Places but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed NINE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 22ND time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:20am and after one pot :P trip I fell back asleep right away since I knew PIG mum would get super-noisy one hour later!
• Sure enough, @ 7:20am I'm woken for another pot :P trip after noisy PIG mum wakes me again for thew pot :P when she goes a-THUMPING around upstairs again. 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 7:30am, PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and fifteen minutes later, she lets Angelica inside. Angelica knocks, opens the door, sticks her head inside and brightly calls good morning! I flap Pijum's ear @ her and she goes fifteen more minutes? Another earflap from Pijum and Angelica luckily removed herself; phew, since Pijum's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
• When Angelica comes back, I use the pot :P once more for three tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth, before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era I head out to the gobbling :P table with Angelica, rousing @ her for not eating breakfast but she defends herself saying eating breakfast makes her nauseous?? 
• For breakfast I enjoy one bowl of poor drowned (PIG mum's words, not mine! XD) Tiny Teddy cereal, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast I sit once more over the loo. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Angelica's car and she tootles me off to the NAB for physio. Thanks to her who helps me with my seatbelt all day~
• The library doesn't open till 9am; when I approached the door the red light was still shining but once I reached and touched the door handle, 9am arrived, the light went green, and I was the first person inside the library! XD
• After one loo trip, Angelica and I sat inside Meeting Room 1. Bob arrived, took a seat on his wheelie-walker and regaled us with how he'd caught COVID! Luckily, by the time he'd been infected, antivirals were available and mitigated the worst of his symptoms.
• Suddenly, the librarian returns and says sorry, you guys are actually in Meeting Room Two! I grumble @ her but obediently hike over to the next meeting room. XD
• Eleven attended today, one was new and Sattya bought mini cupcakes; I got two! Our next homework topic's 'blue' I'm planning to write about my blue underwear story! XD
• The new guy wanted to sing a Polish song but everyone else starting leaving @ 11:58am; wonder why everyone's always in such a rush to leave?
• Angelica returned, took me once more to the loo and tootled me off to the NAB while I munched my chicken kebab with chips and Angelica even bought me a LARGE chocolate milk tea with pearl! Her own go-to's passionfruit tea with pearl and she had a kebab too while buying mine; actually, the upstairs food court one closed down, meaning she had to hike to the end of the old Garbo downstairs food court to get my kebab!
• Physio today: Thirty sit-to-stands with left and forward weightshift,  two TUG tests and one transfer from mats to plinth.
• 
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• Used loo for one tinkle, had the usual dinner, drank soup, took bowl to sink, returned online and used loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm before proofreading an email for PIG mum.
• Toms: Angelica's taking me to GCCW; I've not seen her for ages!
• She'll buy me a kebab for lunch and then drive me to the NAB for physio and seeing me home and showered before leaving @ 3:45pm.

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 3365 but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed SIXTEEN MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, continuing events for today?

• Just got some massage and acupuncture from Aunty Anna today~ She asked me how I in Chinese and I am happily burbled back with my paltry Chinese, "Good! I can hear you! I'm not cold!" Aunty Anna just roared with laughter. XD
• After visiting the loo once, PIG mum tootled us back to Warrigal Square and we bought groceries from Woolies.
• Back home, PIG mum feeds me a tuna toastie with one slice of cheese and I drink one huge mug of green tea from Aunty Nga.
• Lunch finished, I walk myself slowly and safely online briefly, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. At 1:55pm I sit over the loo for two more tinkles and then sit by the front door waiting Jacinta's/Bree's arrival.
• Jacinta arrives four minutes late today (was held up with her previous shift); once Sparkless3 gets transferred to her car boot and  I've climbed into her passenger seat, we're off to Brisbane table tennis! Score, I get second lunch: Jacinta buys some chicken focaccia thing, doesn't like the sauce and gives it to me, calling me her 'rubbish bin'!  XD
• Best thing about table tennis today: there was cake! XD I played first with Uncle James (and wailed @ him for picking on me when he played a spin shot @ me XD) and Jacinta took me once to the bathroom before driving me home for a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Alsoo thanks to Jacinta who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era  to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 293b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 3130 (ha, I'm over three grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Loved Ones In Glory' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and ONE MINUTE online after dinner tonight!!Righteo, events for today

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like last night, nature didn't call until dearest dad very considerately walked silently down the hallway and slid the bathroom door shut @ 6:35am; after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since I knew he'd leave for work exactly one hour later!
• Sure enough, exactly one hour later, dearest dad again walks very thoughtfully silently down the hallway and unpopped the lock into the garage; after another pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• After dearest dad kisses me bye, retucks me back into bed, meets Zach the kiwi bird and leaves for his hard day's work, Pijum and I happily snored, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before noisy 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 finish with only 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 (the 9th time I've had to get myself cutlery this year, plus the 4th consecutive day), breakfast is one bowl of poor drowned fake chocolate Tiny Teddy cereal (PIG mum called them drowned first! XD), 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 climbed into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckled my own seatbelt. PIG mum climbs in also and then tootles me off to Richard's Pain-Free clinic to see Aunty Anna for some massage and acupuncture.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• Once my most important two hours of the day were up, I headed over to the gobbling :P table to read and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea after she awoke from napping on the couch.
• Once she'd done that, she left to go play badminton with her mates; 'twas dad who let Lucy inside @ 5:30pm and moved Sparkless3 to her carboot.6
• Yay we got the free carpark but 'twas another paltry attendance: only four people! XD But Zach came and he really DID bring me a kiwi plush that came with sound!! :D I also shared my ears speech and Neil said 'twas my best one yet since I remembered not to speak too fast! XD
• Afterwards, Lucy tootled me back to the Warrigal Square Macca's for my Ujnhappy Meal with an orange juice (she got herself large chips) then dropped me ho. Repeat the usual nightly events and zzz~
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 292b

 Heylo again and probably one final greeting for today! Firstly, Em's probable final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 3012 but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TEN MINUTES online after I get home from Toastmasters tonight!! But just briefly, probable final, final events for tonight?

• PIG mum helped me up, I brushed teeth, sat over the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era and then headed out to the gobbling :P table, where I munched one bowl of honey Tiny Teddy cereal for breakfast then did a stinky unspeakable before Lena arrived and tootled me off to the NAB.
• My new student's a GEM! Libby was born in 1975 and studied oral health first! Physio today: Eight sit-to-stands with forward and left weight shift, stepping for Erf and Eight laps short hallway walking.
• Bought a crackling pork bahn mi from Pinelands Bakehouse then came home for a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Lena who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was my delicious bahn mi plus one big mug of the green tra from Aunty Nga.
• Got my ears syringed @ Top Health; I CAN HEAR PROPERLY AGAIN!! :D
• Lucky's taking me to Toastmasters tonight and I'm giving a speech about my ears! Looking forward to getting some Maccas for dinner afterwards; never mind that Unhappy Meals were what I ate surely @ LEAST THREE DECADES AGO!! *sigh*
• Toms: 11am appointment to see Aunty Anna. Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ her. XD I should be able to stay awake; it's still morning! Just never underestimate the power of PIG mum's soporific voice ... XD
• Will buy groceries with PIG mum afterwards before Jacinta/Bree takes me to play table tennis; there should be cake! :D
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news for the 21ST time but won't haveta scarf down dinner since GG hasn't resumed for 2023 yet.
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
