Friday Post 352

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4688 steps (sweet I'm apparently over 4.5 grand; that's even rarer than four grand!  XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's ''To Grow We Must Keep Asking Questions thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Something To Boast About'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Mercy Through Pizza' and fifthly, the spam count for the week's nineteen but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 114TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Cripes, Winter definitely arrives toms! When nature called this morning, I had to flick on the bedside lamp before seeing 'twas already 5:30am; during Summer it's already bright as but this morning I'd guessed 'twas   like 2am, not 5:30am!
• Nature called around again  7:45am and after another pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• I'm woken for one more pot :P trip 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 exceedingly slightly with not only the bra strap but the tee (since dearest dad's @ home) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum comes back to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Breakfast is two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix with a very light scattering of Minus :P and Sultana  Bran scattered over the top, all my usual drugs   :P and one full  mug of milk. 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, Peggy walks back with me to the loo. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Auto (pronounced Alto). Peggy kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt and then tootles me off to the NAB for physio, arriving so early we have like twenty minutes to play with our mobile phones and I pass two levels of the HP version of Bejeweled!
• Physio today: 120 shoulder press with 1kg dumbbell for Era, sixty bicep curls for Ela with 1kg dumbbell, 120 steps back and forth for erf with left weight shift, eight laps short hallway walking myself and digi-flex for Ela. I felt loved since both the Scottish lady and Gem came into the dizzy room and enquired after my knee; Mrs. Hoppie must've showed them the e-mail I sent her! Today I rolled up the left pant leg and said don't worry, the bruises have more/less faded~
• After sitting over the loo for two tinkles, Peggy tootled me home and I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who rinsed out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, Peggy makes me a tomato and onion salmon toastie with TWO cheese and HEAVILY buttered on the inside while PIG mum makes me one delicious mug of vanilla chai with milk for lunch!
• At 1:55pm I sit over the loo for two more tinkles while PIG mum immediately signs Peggy off and shooes her away. She's back same time next week.
• Dorrie arrives and we make chicken stirfry with japchae together!
• I munched one bowl for arvo tea then read Boy Swallows Universe for one hour. Today I reached pg. 100 @ 3:28pm, reached pg. 111 @ 3:44pm and reached pg. 125 @ 4:04am.
• After taking the bowl over to the sink I use the loo once and then pop online.
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 114TH time!
• Toms: hope PIG mum helps me up before 9:45am ...
• Also hope we'll go walkies somewhere for grocery shopping else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
• Presuming dad and I'll go play table tennis together @ church toms arvo? Will ask over dinner~
• Wonder will I get to read Boy Swallows Universe for three hours and watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 115TH time?
• Anyways, hopefully bbl after dinner else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3822. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa lettuce, lotsa soup carrot and a little soup pork. Oh, and two delicious fried dumplings from Aunty Rose; she'd rung saying Uncle Ricky would drop them off just when Jacinta arrived, and  I recognised her voice! XD
• 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.
• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Tonight's ice cream night, yay! Like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all~
• Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm and taking me for two hours' physio @ the NAB.
• Dorrie's coming toms arvo abd cooking some teriyaki chicken stir fry with me! Will hopefully get one bowl for arvo tea (since I need rice for dinner) and get to read Boy Swallows Universe for one hour.

Thursday Post 352c

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for tonight now stands @ 2725 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Take Care Of The Temple' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed NINETEEN MINUTES online after I visit the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• Back home, I use the loo for one tinkle and then walk myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Thanks  to PIG mum who let Jacinta inside when she arrived five minutes late, thus saving me from  a potentially dangerous trip to the front door. Turns out she'd been stuck in traffic.
• So a nice  hot shower for me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Jacinta who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era  to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was one yummy pear, around half a plain cracker and one  huge mug of peppermint tea. Happiness was reading Boy Swallows Universe for one hour (I finished page seventy-five @ around 5:40) but still having fifteen minutes to play the HP version of Bejeweled - I passed two more levels!
• Before Jacinta left @ 6pm I sat over the loo for two more tinkles.
• Happily watched the 6pm news   bulletin (Nine's) for the 113TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• When the parents summoned me to dinner I used the loo for one tinkle and  then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling  :P table, again  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 352c

 Good afternoon and potentially one final greeting for Thursday! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2159. Ha, I'm over two grand. XD Righteo, lemme finish with last night's events first!

• Today: dang, nature ruined my awesome sleep streak just two nights from achieving another awesome sleep week streak! >< *sigh* Never mind; 'twas still a sound sleep apart from that~
• Nature called again around 7:35am; 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*
• Pijum and I happily cuddle and snore with nature calling once more shortly after 9am. Soon after that, PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs and soon, she's let 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 @ 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 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 ddone, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Breakfast is one bowl of Minus :P and Just Wrong :P with all my usual drugs :P, one cup of coffee (disgusting, but yesterday my idiot head was nudging; thankfully she's okay today) 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?

• After washing and drying Era, I walk myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.

Tuesday Post 451

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3942 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Authentic Vs. Phony Faith'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Right Balance'  and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Impromptu Praise'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:35am, 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*
• Pijum, Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore until around 9am, when nature calls again, about the same time when 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 not only the bra strap but the tee (since dearest dad's @ home) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum comes back to finish with only Elf's AFO and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Lena, who arrived @ 10am.
• Breakfast is two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix with a very light scattering of Minus :P and the yummier (flaky) bird food (what Dr. 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.

See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

•  After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of RIX, who's actually navy blue and not black; I'd never noticed until the Sun was shining down on him today! Lena kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt (as she kindly does all day) and then tootles me off to Breathe.

• Physio today: 2.004km bike ride, 36 assisted with left weight shift, 36 leg curls for Elf, 36 rows for Ela and boxing!

• After physio, Lena tootled us off to Pinelands Plaza, grabbed a trolley for us and we bought groceries @ Coles before I bought my once-weekly crackling pork bahn mi from Aunty Lisa.

• Back home I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Lena who rinsed out my hair for me, 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 big mug of white tea; just a pity that Lena couldn't find any sugar!

• At 2pm I signed her off with my thanks and byes. Lena's back toms arvo and taking me to table tennis!

• I used the loo for one tinkle before plopping online. Once my most important two hours of the day are up, I'll use the loo for another tinkle and then head down to the gobbling :P table and read until Nisha arrives and takes me to Toastmasters @ 5:30pm. I'm timekeeper tonight and I hear that someone has brought supper! :D

• Looking forward to getting dinner from Maccas, never mind that UnHappy Meals were whaT i HAD SURELY LIKE three decades AGO!! >< *sigh*

• Toms: fingers crossed PIG mum helps me up and takes me for walkies somewhere, else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.

• Will surely have lunch @ home before Lena takes me to play table tennis @ 2pm; let there be cake! XD

• Will hopefully get to watch the 6pm news for the

• After publishing the previous post, I  read and shared the She Reads Truth daily devotional and then continued reading Mr. Jenning's PhD!
• 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 from 10am till 2pm; presume PIG mum's helping me up before Lena takes me to Breathe for physio.
• Also presuming we'll buy groceries   from Pinelands Coles and fingers crossed she'll lemme  buy a crackling pork salad roll for lunch from Pinelands Bakehouse~

Monday Post 451b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 4650 (sweet I'm over 4.5 grand; that's even rarer than four grand! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'With All Your Heart'. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car. PIG mum checks I've buckled my seatbelt correctly before tootling me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage.
• I use the loo for one tinkle while PIG mum pays Ray and then I lie down for some massage and acupuncture from Ray. Personally, I find the shoulder CPR the mos t comfortable! PIG mum's in her element, yapping ceaselessly @ Ray and repeating multiple syllables she's that excited while yapping; my sincerest thanks to Ray who always replied and   kept a conversation flowing.
• After one more tinkle, PIG mum tootled me home and fed me lunch:  one tuna in tomato and onion toastie with one slice of cheese and one delicious mug of vanilla chai with milk.
• After lunch, I sat over the loo for two tinkles   before Linda arrived and drove me to the NAB.
• Physio today: Four, two- and one-point kneeling and four transfers from double red mats to plinth, kneeling work, reaching for Era with left weight shift, stepping for erf at parallel bars, two laps short hallway walking and six laps long hallway walking. Yay that Mel got me a little chocolate Freddo frog and Linda got me a small dirty chai!
• Back home I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Linda who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was one yummy bana, one delicious mug of white tea with two sugars and two bikkies Linda found from somewhere. She also found me a new book to read:  Trent Dalton's Boy Swallows Universe and I've absolutely zero idea how I got the book! XD I happily read that for one hour, finishing pg. twenty-five @ 4:07pm.
• I sat over the loo for two more tinkles while Lena left and then popped online, happily watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 111TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• When PIG mum said dinner was ready after the news finished (I asked), I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely to  the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy broccoli, lotsa hairy melon and like two small slices of roast 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.

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

Monday Post 451

 Good afternoon!  Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4278 steps (ha, I'm over four grand; that doesn't often happen! XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Strength To Wait With Patience'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Are You A True Friend?' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "When It's Time" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-FIVE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 111TH time!!  Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Just like yesterday, nature didn't call until 7:30am 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*
• Pijum, Pearl and I happily cuddled and snored, nature calling once more shortly before 9am and after another pot :P trip PIG mum's daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs was soon heard. Shortly afterwards, she's let 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 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 two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix with a very light sprinkling 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!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Sunday Post 451d

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3422 (sorry, not quite 3.5 grand; maybe toms XD) and secondly, the final, final spam count for the weekend's now just four. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• Back home, 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.
• Got a message from Donna saying Despicable Me 4's coming out next month; when am I free to see it? I immediately asked PIG mum but got screeched @ to ask again toms since she's tired. Well, she's ALWAYS tired, but hey. XD
• 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: CODA had better ring early and lemme know who's minding me from 12:30pm till 4:30pm!!
• Seeing Ray for some acupuncture and massage; bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him. XD
• Will hopefully buy groceries with PIG mum afterwards else maybe expect a super-pissy plodding total from me?
• Have one hour of physio @ the NAB; the carer will see me home and showered before leaving @ 4:30pm. Must remember to ask her to please pick a new book for me to read!

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3318 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Ram Fat'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• Pity the Broncos lost by just two points! ><"  At least 'twas to another Queensland team they Qlost to; doesn't sound as  bad  ... XD
• Took a nice hot 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 done after only 10% but happily leaned fully against the right side-rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling PIG mum back.
• After she dried my back and the back of the chair for me, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until my bra strap needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
• After I dried the loo seat I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, washed and dried Era, stamped both feet dry and walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 110TH time. All the   things I like recording are in the previous post.
• Used the loo for one more tinkle and then climbed into the backseat of dad's 4WD.
• Lol, three nights after my Freedom Day dinner, we're back @ Ho Lin Wah again! Obviously, I got piss-little but the Hokkien noodles weren't fake (unlike BIRU XD) and I got half a cup of hot HK-style milk tea, so I'm content. XD
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good afternoon again and potentially one final greeting for today! Em's potential final, final plodding for Sunday now stands @ 2590. Ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand. XD Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• After publishing the previous post, I e-mailed Michelle, asking her to please lemme know when she gets to work toms who's minding me from 12:15pm till 4:15pm and taking me to the NAB for physio.
• Once my most important two hoours of the day are up, I use the loo for one tinkle and then sit @ the gobbling :P and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea and try and finish Rosie Batty's memoirs!
• She passes me one huge mug of green tea, one banana and about half a plain cracker. I finished pg. 300 @ 2:47pm and FINISH THE BOOK @ exactly 2:55pm!!
• I returned online only to  discover that the Broncos' game was already into  the 2nd half; Nine's playing some other match! Luckily, ABC radio's commentating that game, so  I'm listening to that now.
• Righteo, hopefully bbl tonight else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!

Sunday Post 451

 Good afternoon!   Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2227 steps (aww, why couldn't I have taken five steps fewer? 2222 would've looked cooler! XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "God's Design In Detours"; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Don't Strike Back"; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Beauty In Place Of Soil'; fifthly, the final, final spam count for the week's actually twenty-seven and sixthly, the spam count for the weekend's just two. 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; indeed, she came 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) while I was still over the pot! :P
• After giving myself fifteen more minutes, I get myself mostly independently kitted. Whilst doing so, 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 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.
• Breakfast is one bowl of Minus :P with all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay.

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.

See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and she tootles us off to church, parking outside the service hall. I haul myself up the ramp, use the second cubicle of the normal ladies loo myself (since both the disabled and first cubicle of the normal ladies' loo have lids down and horrid PIG mum won't lift them for me), wash and dry both hands and then grab my usual spot in service @ the most left.
• Yay I get to stay seated for worship today! I sing everything, plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Tyvus; his sermon topic was The Story Of The Bible
• Service ended nine minutes early today; I used the disabled   loo myself for one tinkle, grabbed one spring roll for morning tea and sat outside the service hall.
• Before I had time to ask Dr. Lee would he please count me in for lunch dad had already hauled me out too the Rochedale Hungry Jack's for lunch! >< *sigh*
• For lunch I had one Whopper Junior burger, half a packet of small chips and half a large orange juice.
• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle and walked myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
•  Hey the Broncos are supposed to play @ 2pm!
• Ah, sorry: make that 3pm. XD
• Since the most important two hours of my day's up @ 2:30pm, I'll use the loo for one tinkle and then sit and try and finish Rosie Batty's memoirs before watching the Broncos play @ 3pm!
• Fingers crossed dad takes us out for dinner tonight~
• Toms: hope PIG mum helps me up before 9:45am ...
• Also hope Michelle rings and says who's minding me from 12:15pm till 4:15pm!
• Fingers crossed I can read for one hour; will ask the carer toms to please find me a new book~
• Then fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news for the 110TH time!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 451b

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3215but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed ONE MINUTE online after I use the loo once @ 9pm!! Righteo, continuing events for today?

• We only had three items that needed buying and I tried to keep the trolley straight so that after getting the required items we could go directly to the checkouts, but silly dad couldn't resist and had me  walk down and back up the final aisle for no reason. >< *sigh* XD
• Lol I feel ripped off: dad only lemme eat *one* sushi roll for lunch! One sushi roll's arvo tea; surely, I deserved a more substantial lunch?? *another sigh*
• Back home 
  I quickly used the loo for another tinkle and then hopped back into the car. Dad tootled us off to church to play table tennis together.
• But we only played two rounds together before having to vacate the room; some CM people had booked that space for their cell group!
• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle and then sat to read for another one hour and forty minutes, since it's only Saturdays that I can spend a blessed three hours reading~ Today I reached pg. 222 @ exactly 3:20pm, reached pg. 225 @ 3:27pm, reached pg. 250 @ 4:08pm and reached pg. 275 @ 4:56pm.
• Took a nice hot shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song softly, slowly but most hatefully out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was all done after only 11% but happily leaned fully against the right-side rail before calling PIG mum back.
• After PIG mum dried my back and the back of the chair for me, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
• After drying the loo seat I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped both feet dry, washed and dried Era and then walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• When the parents summoned me over for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, 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 hairy melon, two thin slices of roast pork and one small half chunk of lightly battered fish.

• 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 bbl shortly after 9pm following one last loo trip with my final, final plodding total for today, the final events for tonight plus what's happening Sunday else  looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 451

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2984 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Bedrock Of Your Assurance'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Train Your Brain'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Tell Them What God Did' and fifthly, Joni's devotional topic's 'A Good Kind Of Anger'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't  call until 7:45am 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*
• Pijum and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P just after 9am, 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 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. Whilst complying, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay.

Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• PIG mum returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth. That done, I drink one large cup 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 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 my once-weekly fried egg with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast on a very thin bed of avocado, one full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and my first mug of white tea with one spoonful of honey.  Over and after breakfast, I happily read for thirty minutes first up, reaching pg. 10:41am. Only dad said keep reading since I'm not ready to leave yet and so I then read for another fifty minutes, reaching pg. 200 @ 11:16am.
• After one tinkle, I  climbed into the backseat of dad's 4WD and buckled my own seatbelt. Dad tootles us (PIG mum stayed  @ home; I'm presuming for her morning nap?)  off to Underwood Marketplace, parks underground and grabs a trolley for us.
  Cheers,

• When Tiff and FDorrie  left, I used the loo for one tinkle and then sat down @ the gobbling :P table to read for one hour and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo  tea.
• She passed me one juicy mandarin (that only contained one/two seeds and was very sweet), about half a plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea from Aunty Nga. I happily read Rosie Batty's memoirs for one hour, reaching pg. 125 @ 3:19pm and finishing pg. 150 @ exactly 4pm!

Friday Post 451

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 5073 steps (ha, I'm just over half a normal"Stand   person XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Is Christ Worth It?'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Stand On God's Word (5)'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Correction With A Kiss' and fifthly, the spam count for the week's twenty-two but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-ONE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 109TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Nature not only called once @ 12:40am; I had to turn the bedside lamp on before seeing 'twas 6:20am for another pot :P; Winter's nearly here!
• After another pot :P trip around 7:35am, 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*
• Mother's daily a-THUMPING around upstairs wakes me for one more pot :P trip shortly around 9am; soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside to await Nisha's arrival @ 9:30am.
• When PIG mum lets Nisha inside @ 9:30am, Nisha knocks, pushes the door open and cheerily calls out good morning. When I flop Pijum's ear @ her, she laughs and offers fifteen more minutes? Another earflop from Pijum and she thankfully removes herself; phew, since Pijum anatomically can't give the Bear Bum! XD
• When Nisha comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth.  That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Nisha.
• Breakfast is two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix with a very light sprinkle 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.

See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of the Mercedes-Benz; Fried Chicken Tuesday's still away getting new tyres! I ask Nisha to please fully recline the seat and take a photo  for me but PIG mum demands we leave IMMEDIATELY. No sweat, I just ask Nisha to please take a photo for me after we arrive since we'll obviously get there super-early, what with PIG mum demanding our immediate departure. Nisha just replies sure~
• Outside the NAB, Nisha fully reclines the seat for me and I luxuriate in the leg space while she snaps a photo for me. Why I'm impressed: since I'm only short, I can fully stretch out! XD
• Physio today: Seven transfers from double red mats to plinth, two- and four-point kneeling, lotsa stepping for Erf with left weight shift,  lotsa kneeling and reaching for Era with left and forward weightshift and twelve laps short hallway walking with step-through gait.Afterwards Nisha tootled me home and I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks  to Nisha who rinsed out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, PIG mum made me one tuna in tomato and onion toastie with only one slice of cheese cut into two rectangles for lunch with one big mug of powdered green tea from Aunty Nga.
• At 1:55pm I went and sat over the loo for two more tinkles while PIG mum immediately signed Nisha off and shooed her away. When she left I yelled my thanks and byes to her; she's back next Tuesday night and taking me to Toastmasters!
• Tiff and Dorrie came to give Ela one hour of hand exercises; today, I just used the FitMe! Already excited for next Friday: gonna cook honey soy chicken with Dorrie!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 451c

 Good evening again and probably one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's probable final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3051 (ha, I'm just over three grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Vision'. Anyways, probable final, final events for tonight?

• Before PIG mum takes me to see the doctor, I sit over the loo for   one tinkle.
• Obviously, she gleefully forces me to buckle my own seatbelt both ways. But the funny  thing's that she actually made my appointment for the wrong day?? XD Luckily, the male receptionist still fits me in.
• I'm seen by some young Taiwanese doctor called Dr. Cheung. He sticks his ear thing inside both ears, says yes, the right ear's inflamed and prescribes me amoxycillin but says wait a few days to see whether it clears up first. Then PIG mum yaps @ him saying why she doesn't like the new psychiatrist I'm seeing?
• Back home, I use the loo for one tinkle and then head down to the gobbling :P table for some arvo tea (fruit and half a plain cracker) before returning online and happily watching the 6pm news (Seven's) for the 108TH   time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• After the news finishes, I use the loo for one tinkle and then climb into the backseat of PIG mum's 4WD; we're going out for dinner to celebrate my Freedom Day!
• We share two meals plus one plate of deep fried mantou meaning I obviously got piss little, but I was just happy to eat out for celebrating my Freedom Day! When PIG mum went and paid, I leant forward and sincerely thanked dearest dad for taking us out for dinner together
• Back home, I use the loo for one more tinkle, wash and dry Era and then walk myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Resorting to Panadol tonight; the pesky headache hasn't buggered off after three days. >< *sigh*
• But tonight's ice cream night,  yay! Like I say, a very little's better than none @  all!
• Toms: Nisha's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm and taking me to the NAB for physio. That's right; gonna email the CEs about my middle ear infection.
• Nisha will see me home and showered before leaving @ 2pm and then Tiff's coming with Dorrie to give Ela OT since she wants to see the FitMe in action!
• Looking forward to my most important two hours online after PIG mum feeds me some arvo  tea and I read A Mother's Story for one hour.
• Fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 109TH time!
• The Storm are playing the Sea Eagles toms night; will cheer for Manly should dad demand I sit and watch half the match.
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 451b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2376. Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• At the Garbo library I use the loo for one tinkle and then hike to Meeting Room Two, since Meeting Room One's already occupied.
• Pat's a LEGEND!! She couldn't stay for the meeting today but just dropped in to bring a black forest cake to celebrate my Freedom Day with!!  :D
• Eight attended today and homework for next meeting (in three weeks' time, since there's one more Thursday for May next week) is 'the committee'. Mary has said she'll bring CAKE should I write an entirely fictional story without any reference to myself!! Thanks to her/Sattya who helped me once to the loo during morning tea (I managed fine by myself) and got me celebratory cake and morning tea; I even got seconds!! :D
• The meeting ended three minutes early; Karina tootled me home after one more loo trip.
• Took a nice hot shower -  hairwash today. Also thanks to Karina who rinsed out my  hair for me, thus freeing  Era  to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted lunch was a tuna toastie with one slice of cheese and one mug of green tea.
• Signed Karina off with my thanks and byes @ 2pm; don't think  I'm seeing her again till the next GCCW in three weeks' time!
• After taking my plate to the sink, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 451

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1717 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Jesus Knows His Sheep' thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Stand On God's Word (4)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Look To The Skies but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY MINUTES online after I get home later this arvo!! Anyways, let's start off with yesterday's events first!

• After lunch, Narelle takes me to play table tennis! At some drink break she passes me my water bottle but I can see she's been crying and ask are you okay? My nephew just suddenly just passed away! She sobbed! o_O I'll drive you home but your dad will see to your shower coz I've gotta go right away. I'm thought no, if PIG mum can't see me showered I'll just skip one Wednesday and have one with Karina on Thursday since I'm not letting a boy watch me shower but just said okay to Narelle; the poor thing's obviously shocked.
• Back home I take a nice hot shower - I wash and rinse my own hair today. I also sing 20% ofmy shorter second-favourite song softly, slowly but most hatefully out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I'm all done only after 12%, but happily lean fully against the right side rail and water myself for another tinkle before calling PIG mum back and tapping the nice hot water off.
• After PIG mum dries my back  and the back of the chair for me, I do 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 seat, I sit for one tinkle, dry inside both ears, stamp both feet dry, wash and dry Era and  then return to the gobbling :P table, where I eat some fruit for arvo tea and PIG mum kindly dries my  hair for me.
• After using the loo for one tinkle I climb into the backseat of dad's 4WD and he tootles me off to Peter Pie's place for our combined GG hotpot dinner! Obviously I'm the first to arrive (silly dad with his must-get-me-there-early attitude XD) but everyone else arrives afterwards; gosh, there's like twenty/thirty people!
• For dinner I pig out on Korean BBQ chicken wings. XD Dr. Lee also feeds me some vegetables and some eggy pancake.
• Yu Lam helps me once to the loo and then I sit and watch everyone else play this Mafia-type game!
• Dr Esther and David gimme a lift back home afterwards; repeat the usual nightly events and zzz~
• Today: yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night; what better way to begin my Freedom Day with?? Nature didn't call until 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 comes to hit me with the eye goo; after she lets Karina inside @ 7:45am Karina knocks, pushes the door open and says good morning. When Pijum flops an ear @ her, Karina says hitting the snooze button for fifteen more minutes ... another earflop from Pijum and Karina thankfully leaves; phew, since Pijum's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
• When Karina comes back, I use the pot :P once more for three more tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to 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, rousing @ her for AGAIN not eating breakfast, the naughty girl! >< XD
• Breakfast today: another of PIG mum's yummy polo buns, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh* Thanks to Karina who turns Sunrise on for my viewing pleasure~
• 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 helped me buckle my seatbelt both  ways~
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Wednesday Post 451b

 Heylo again and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I get to post online before midday. XD Firstly, I'm logging in today's plodding total @ 2357 (that was last Wednesday's plodding total); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'God Works For You'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Stand On God's Word (3)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Keeping Our Spiritual Edge' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and SEVEN MINUTES online after I get back home from GG tonight!! *sigh* Anyways, events for today?

• Nature already called once @ 11:55pm but since I was back under the covers before the new day arrived, yay, for the first time in like four days, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call  until 7:45am, 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*

   

• PIG mum's daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs wakes me for another pot :P trip and soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with only the bra strap and 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. I actually was having a DREAM but unfortunately forgot it once I woke; hopefully I'll remember another one soon!

• 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 oone tinkle, wash and dry Era and then walk myself slowky and safely outt to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.

• Breakfast is one of those delicious  little polo buns PIG mum made last night with one mug of warm Milo, all my usual drugs :P and  one huge 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 walk myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.

• When dad's ready for shopping, I use the loo for one more tinkle, climb into the bacvkseat of his 4WD and buckle my seatbelt. Dad tootles us off to Rochdale Village and grabs a trolley for us.

• At Coles, we buy just over fifty bucks of groceries, all of which I take through the self-serve checkouts. Actually, bar the 10kg sack of rice; the guy manning the self-serve checkouts has a thing that scans for it!

• Back home, I used the  loo for one tinkle and walk myself slowly and safely online,  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.

• Righteo, hopefully bbl else hope everyone's having a  great week!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
