Monday Post 470

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding only 312 steps (since obviously, I've not left the house yet); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's "Heaven's Relief In The Coming Wrath"; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Don't Get Stuck In The Past" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Serving @ The Pleasure" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-FIVE MINUTES online this arvo!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 9th consecutive 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* Oh, and I start July by remembering a dream! Somehow, I'm sitting near the front of some bus TRAVELLING DOWN THE WRONG SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY!! O_o Luckily, head-on collisions are avoided and I wake when the driver safely pulls the bus over to the side of the road~

   

• Around 9am PIG mum's noisy a-THUMPING around wakes me for another pot :P trip; soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with 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 one bowl of plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) multigrain toast, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh* My mobile gives me thirty minutes of free lives and I pass two more levels in the HP version of Bejeweled!

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

• The parents are having lunch now; PIG mum says I may have mine when Narelle comes to mind me from 12:30pm till 4:30pm. PIG mum's taking dad to get some kinda scan results and I suppose she'll send us grocery shopping somewhere. Fingers crossed Narelle will shout us each a bubble tea again! :D

• Will hopefully read for one hour after Narelle leaves and then watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 130TH time!

• Toms: I've got NAB physio; presume PIG mum'll help me up and Lena will take me? She'll see me home and showered but Toastmasters isn't happening toms night so hoping again to read for another hour and watching the 6pm news for the 131ST time!

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

Sunday Post 470

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3166 steps (ha, I'm over three grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's "Heaven's Relief In The Coming Wrath"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Law Of Entropy'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "What's That To You?" and fifthly, the spam count for the week's only six  but seventhly and way most importantly, I'm really  still owed ONE HOUR and FOURTEEN MINUTES online after I videochat with Aunty Nga; argh, what a crummy way to finish the first half of 2024!! >< *sigh* But just noting down that I enjoyed my 7th consecutive awesome sleep last night (nature didn't call until 7:05am), attended ESS and then went to some park for Dr. Lee's 40TH birthday bash! Yu Lam bought us takeaway for lunch, Fiona 
Mok dropped me back home afterwards and then we had dinner @ SCSC tonight. Not seeing Ray toms coz he's taking school holidays with his girls but Narelle's minding me from like 12:30pm till 4:30pm since dad has some medical appointment.

Saturday Post 470c

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2582. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post I continued editing my GCCW competition entry; it's due toms night!
• At 9pm I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. Actually, the special thing's that afterwards, everyone's grabbing lunch (I've organised mine with Yu Lam) and having a picnic somewhere for Dr. Lee's 40TH!
• When I get home I'm unsure whether to enjoy my most important two hours  of the day online first/finish my GCCW entry first ...
• Doubt dad'll take  us out for dinner toms night but still, fingers crossed!
• Anyways, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 470b

Heylo again and good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2525 (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Light Of The Mind'/ Righteo, continuing today's events?

• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle and then climbed back into the backseat of dad's car; we were going to church and playing table tennis together!
• I saw Aunty Carly and Uncle Simon played with me today too~
• Got home, used the loo for one tinkle, munched my yummy honey chicken sushi roll, drank another mug of French Earl grey with milk and read for another thirty minutes.
• 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 side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling PIG mum back.
• After I'd tapped the nice hot water off and PIG mum had 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 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 then 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.
• Actually I first returned to the gobbling :P table and collected my mobile, since PIG mum was mean and wouldn't get it for me.
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 129TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post. Too bad the parents had dinner without me first.
• Once the news was over, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely over to the gobbling :P table, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.

• Dinner tonight: rice with leftovers of the sesame chicken, cauliflower and carrot I'd cooked yesterday with Dorrie.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the soup over to the sink I walked mysekf slowlky and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.

• Rightwo, 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 Sunday, else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 470

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2389 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Enduring When Obeying Hurts'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Why Do We Resist Change (4)? and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'You Are Beloved' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-TWO MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 129TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo! After four near misses, I FINALLY achieved my 6th time of one straight week of consecutive awesome sleeps! :D Nature didn't call until 7:10am 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*
• Pijum, Pearl and I happily cuddled and snored, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly after 9am, just before PIG mum begins her noisy daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo 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. 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.

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 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 drink one cup of warm 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.
• Breakfast is my once-weekly fried egg with a slightly runny yolk on one slice of dry (unbuttered) multigrain bread on a very thin bed of avocado, all my usual drugs :P another tall cup of water and my first mug of delicious French earl grey with one spoonful of sugar. First I read for thirty minutes first up, reaching pg. 150 @ 10:33am. Then I finished my letter to Dr. Lee!
• After one more tinkle, I climbed into the backseat of dad's 4WD and buckled my own seatbelt (what I did all day). PIG mum got in too and then dad tootled us off to Underwood Marketplace, parking underground.
• I know we bought groceries from Woolies but have forgotten did we also shop @ Big W. XD
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night!

Thursday Post 470

 Good afternoon! Firstly, my final, final plodding total for Wednesday's actually 2573 (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand but alas that the mighty Maroons were belted quite badly by the smelly Blues last night >< XD); secondly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1160 steps (ha, I'm over one grand XD); thirdly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Fear That Draws Us In'; fourthly, TWFT topic's 'Why Do We Resist Change? (2)' and fifthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Life's Pilgimage.' Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until noisy PIG mum woke me with her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs; after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Soon she's let herself into my room before going back out and awaiting Karina's arrival @ 8:45am. After Karina arrives, she knocks, bids me good morning and says hitting the snooze button for fifteen more minutes ... I flap one of Pijum's ears @ her and she thankfully removes herself; phew, since Pijum's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum. XD
• I stay 'asleep' until tapped but when Karina returned, she just sat down beside me and asked me was I still sulking from what happened last night? I turned around and growled @ her you may gloat for the next three weeks but we've got a nearly 75% chance of winning the third game and the series, so we'll see who says the I'm not saying anything comment then! XD Karina roared with laughter and then I used the pot :P once more for @ least three tinkles before we got me kitted.
• That done, I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth; thanks to Karina who squirted some toothpaste for me. Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gfobbling :P table with Karina, who tells me she drank some honeycomb-flavoured poppa of milk for breakfast; she got it yesterday when she went to give blood!
• For breakfast, I had one bowl of porridge with one slice of dry (nbuttered) multigrain toast, all my usual drugs :P and one full cup of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, Karina puts some sunscreen over my face and then 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~
• At the library, I use the loo for one tinkle and them am happy to discover that we're back in Meeting Room One.
• Ten attended today; there was a new boy called Daniel from Korea! He's like thirteen years younger than me, cuts hair by trade and we're Facebook friends now~ Tammy helped me once to the toilet for morning tea and Mary brought profiteroles, chocolate and caramel flavoured! Homewoork for next meeting's 'Daunting'; I'm thinking about writing about the Dauntless from Veronica Roth's series!
• The meeting ended two minutes early today, but Tammy waited with me until Karina came back @ midday.
• After one more tinkle, Karina tootled me home and I 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, Karina made me one tuna in tomato and onion with one slice of cheese toastie cut into two rectangles and PIG mum poured me one mug of HK-style milk tea coffee.  I signed her off with my thanks and byes till 1:15pm; she's not back again until the next GCCW but I'm unsure who's coming next Thursday when since I've not received July's roster yet.
• After lunch, I used the loo for one tinkle, 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.
• Once I've used up the most important two hours of the day, I'll use the loo for one tinkle, sit @ the gobbling :p table to read for one hour and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea.
• Will prolly watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 127TH time although not looking forward  to watching the Maroons' loss. >< XD
• Tonight's ice cream night, yay!  Like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Toms: Peggy's minding me 9:30am till 2pm and  taking me to Breathe for physio. Presuming we'll grocery shop afterwards since I think Dorrie and I are cooking toms arvo?
• Hoping to read for another hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 128TH time but doubt I'll watch Friday night football since it's just Bulldogs vs. Sharks: I'll cheer for Canterbury but won't mind should Cronulla win since they're both blue! ;)
• Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 470c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight!~ Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ exactly 2222. Nice number, eh? Well, actually, 'twas 2221 but that number so pissed me off I stood up, took one step forward with Elf and sat back down. XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

•  After publishing the previous post, I read and shared the She Reads Truth daily devotional.
• After that, I finalised and sent around my GCCW homework for this Thursday.
• Then, I should've gone back to editing my GCCW competition entry but instead I played the HP version of Bejeweled and have actually passed four levels today! Which prolly means I'll not pass any toms. XD
• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Toms: Lena's minding me from 10am, which means PIG mum'll help me up earlier since once Lena arrives, PIG mum's off attending her Pilates class.
• PIG mum says we can buy groceries from Pinelands Coles plus my once-weekly bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse before coming back home for lunch since I've got NAB physio for one hour from like 1-2.
• Lena will see me home and showered before leaving @ 4pm; hmm, after  I get home I may haveta shower my quickest and skip arvo tea if there's any chance of me spending my most important two hours of the day online, since Nisha's taking me to Toastmasters @ 5:30pm! Hope she drives the Benz again. XD
• Looking forward to bringing some Maccas home for dinner, never mind that Unhappy Meals were what I had  surely @ least three DECADES ago! *sigh* Actually I hope Nisha gets Maccas for dinner too and leaves me her Minion themed takeaway plastic bag! XD
• Anyways, hope everyone  has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 470b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2142 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Happiness In Jesus'. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• After the news ended, I called out once dinner's ready, please call me, okay? PIG mum replied we've already finished without you. Come.  Huh, it's just like her to try keep me isolated from my dearest dad. >< *sigh*
• After using the loo for one tinkle, dinner was exactly the same as lunch: dad's lotsa ingredients fried rice!
• 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, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Anyways, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip  @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms, else wishing everyone a smashing Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 470

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2033 steps (ha, I'm just over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Faith Honors Him Who It Trusts'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "The Reason You're Being Tested" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'In Awe Of God' but fifthly  and way most importantly, I'm really still owed  THIRTEEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 126TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:50am 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*
• Dearest comes to kiss me bye before leaving for church to do some kinda work; afterwards, Pijum, Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P shortly after 9am just before 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 it's Winter and 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 to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over thew loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Breakfast was another (and the last) of the delicious but unhealthy coffee buns PIG mum had made, one warm mug of Ovaltine, all my usual drugs :P and another full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast I walk myself slowly and safely back to the loo, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's 4WD and she tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Obviously, she gleefully forces me to buckle my own seatbelt all day and we listen to her mix of Chinese pop all day, too.
• At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle and then lie down for some massage and acupuncture. My personal favorite's the shoulder CPR, since that's the most comfortable. PIG mum was in her element yapping unceasingly @ Ray with multiple repeated syllables; my grateful thanks to him who always replied and kept a conversation flowing.
• After another loo trip, PIG mum tootled us home where dearest dad had a yummy lunch of fried rice waiting for us!
• PIG mum took dearest dad out for some medical appointment after Narelle arrived to take me out grocery shopping with her @ the Warrigal Square Woolies.
• Then Narelle shouted us both a brown sugar duo (pearls and pudding) bubble tea from Tea Station! :D Will share the photo toms arvo when I'm @ the NAB for physio.
• Back home I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Narelle who rinsed out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was  one yummy kinda small banana, half a plain cracker and thanks to Narelle who made me one big mug of white tea sweetened with one teaspoonful of honey even though PIG mum had originally left peppermint tea out for me.
• Happiness was reading for one hour but still having ten minutes to play the HP version of Bejeweled - I passed two more levels!
• I thought Narelle was leaving @ 4pm so sat over the loo for two more tinkles @ 4:55pm but she's actually staying till 5pm!
• But since the parents arrived home around 4:45pm she was signed off and shooed away immediately.
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news (Seven's) for the 126TH time!
• Toms: Lena's minding me from 10-4; presuming PIG mum'll help me up before going to her pilates class once Lena arrives. Wonder where she'll send us? I don't mind just hope PIG mum'll lemme get a crackling pork bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse for lunch!
• Looking forward to spending my most important two hours of the day I'll read for one hour and then wait for Nisha to take me to Toastmasters; fingers crossed she'll buy takeaway from Maccas too and gimme her Minions takeaway paper bag; <3 the Minions! :D
• Anyways, hopefully bbl after dinner tonight else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• Toook a nice hot shower afterwards - 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 11% but happily leaned fully against the right side-rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling PIG mum back.

• After I'd used up the most important two hours of the day, I used the loo for one tinkle and then sat @ the gobbling :P table to read for one hour and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea. I reached pg. 425 @ exactly 4:05pm and FINISHED THE BOOK ten minutes later! Luckily, I had another book ready to immediately switch to, but I'm considering doing further research about assassins and templars; they sound fascinating! 
  Cheers,

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1175 steps (ha, I'm over one grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'How We Must Fight For Holiness'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Trust In God's Unchanging Character'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's ' Rich In Good Deeds' and fifthly, the spam count for the weekend's only four. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature had already called once shortly before midnight and then I slept soundly until either parent gave one loud THUMP upstairs and woke me @ 6:45am. After one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since I knew for sure PIG mum would get super-noisy @ 7:20am!
• But I fell back that soundly asleep, I didn't wake until PIG mum opened the door and let herself into my bedroom! I used the pot :P quickly for one tinkle then; she helped 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 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.

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 of the coffee buns PIG mum made last night! I've never been much a coffee addict but all the butter was nice. XD I also drank one full mug of water, popped all my usual dreugs :P and uver 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?

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

• After washing and drying Era, I sit outside the front door while PIG mum gets ready and then climb into the backseat of her car and buckling my own seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles us off too church and parks under the service hall; I haul myself up the ramp, use the disabled loo once (even though someone had left the seat up) and then grab a seat in the hall - my usual @ the back on the most left has already been taken; I don't find a free seat on the most left until the second from the front!

• Yay, I got to stay seated for worship today~ I sang everything, plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*

• Speaker today was Peter Pie with another sermon from his 'I AM' series and there was communion afterwards.

• Service ewnded only one minute early today; I used the loo for another tinkle, grabbed a pack of bikies for morning tea and then sat outside the service hall. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a for lunch and sports because everyone was attending some year twelve graduation thing; gosh, that was me, two DECADES ago! XD

• Meaning I had to have lunch with dad @ Hungry Jack's. Sad I couldn't even get TEN chips (only eight) but yay that I shook a BBQ cheeseburger and a shake!

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

• When PIG mum comes home from her coffee and gossip social with the other church aunties she feeds me another mouthful of vermicelli with carrot and beef and we finish drinking her free coffee from Hungry Jack's. It's disgusting, BTW. XD

• Hope dad'll take us out somewhere for dinner and gimme half a cup of HK-style milk tea!

• Toms:  PIG mum'll help me up, since I'm seeing Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Bet she's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him. XD

• Perhaps we'll buy groceries before coming home for lunch with dearest dad?

• Narelle's minding me 12-4pm; presume I've got NAB physio?

• Will hopefully get to read for one hour and watch the 6pm news for the 125TH time!

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

• Dried, creamed and rekitted I popped very briefly online until PIG mum summoned me for dinner and demanded I pray.
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy cauliflower, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup carrot, two small chunks of pretty tasteless soup chicken and one beef ball.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup and dessert was another (the last) of the yummy custard thing PIG mum recently made; after taking the bowl and saucer to the sink and washing them, I walked myself sllowly and safely 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 tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. Would love lunch out with other ESS peers afterwarfs but hopes aren't up. Also expecting a stressful arvo  @ the hands of PIG mum toms arvo. ><'=
• Anyways, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Anyways, events for today?

• Nature called once around 2am; after another pot  :P  trip around 7:30am; after another pot :P trip around 7:30am 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* Before returning to happy snorings with Pijum and Pearl and  Pijum I called upstairs and reminded PIG mum please to help me up latest by 9:15am, since I didn't wanna haveta hit the sack less than twelve hours after I got up! 
• Around 9am PIG mum's daily 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 not only the tee but the bra strap (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*
• I call PIG mum back to please finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and 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 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 my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast under an extremely thin layer of avocado, another tall mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and my first mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey. I also read for thirty minutes first up, reaching pg. 300 @ 10:49am.
• After sitting over the loo for one tinkle, dad tootled us out to Capalaba Park!
• While dad buys mini bahn mis for us, PIG mum takes me once to the loo.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• After publishing the previous post, I read and shared the She Reads Truth devotional before happily playing the HP version of Bejeweled for eight minutes; I passed another level, meaning I've passed six today!
•  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: hope PIG mum helps me up before 9:45am ...
• Will presumably buy groceries with the   parents and get my arvo tea sushi roll but will ask can we please eat lunch @ Woka/some other restaurantt coz your once-weekly meal out @ some food court doesn't really count coz it's self-service!

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 3170 (don't ask me how the new total's FEWER than the previous total XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Carrying Burdens'. Righteo, continuing today's events?

• Dried, creamed and rekitted, Peggy made me a tuna toastie with TWO cheeses, HEAVILY buttered on the inside with dad's SULTANA bread and poured me one mug of vanilla chai, yum!  That tasty lunch's prolly already passed five levels today! XD
• Before she left @ 2pm I sat over the loo once more for two tinkles. She's back same time next Friday.

• The parents had dinner without me; once the news was finished I used the loo for one tinkle andcwalked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy cauliflower, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup potato, one thin piece of tasteless soup chicken and one beef ball.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowlful 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.

Friday Post 470

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3329 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Grace Is Pardon - And Power!'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'What More Could God Have Done For You?'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Use Me and fourthly, the spam count for the week's exactly thirty but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-TWO MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 129TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• This morning was not only my second consecutive awesome sleep but my best thus far for 2024; nature didn't call until 8:20am! 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, me waking for another pot :P trip when noisy PIG mum wakes me with her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Peggy's arrival @ 9:30am.
• Once, PIG mum lets Peggy in, Peggy knocks, opens the door and says good morning. When I flop one of Pijum's ears @ her she smirks and asks us, fifteen more minutes? Pijum gives another earflop and she thankfully leaves us be; phew, since Pijum's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum!
• When Peggy comes back, I sit over the pot :P for @ least three more tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who squirts some toothpaste for me.
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Peggy. While we're walking down the hallway, Peggy tells me that she had her usual two soft-boiled eggs for breakfast.
• For my breakfast, I have one bowl of chocolate porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) multigrain toast, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, Peggy slathers me with sunscreen bfore walking with me back to the bathroom. 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) and Peggy tootles me off to Breathe for physio. Thanks to her who helped me buckle my seatbelt all day.
• Since we're early, I get to play the HP version of Bejeweled for awhile and pass two more levels!
• Physio today: 2.347km bike ride, 36 assisted pull-ups, 36 steps for Erf with left weight shift, 36 leg curls and 36 leg extensions with green TheraBand for Elf, 36 seated single cable rows for Ela and boxing! Winnie tellls me she's going down to Sydney for a conference about lower back pain but will have come back before I see her again next Friday.
• Afterwards, Peggy tootles me off to Garbo and grabs a trolley for us. Today, she parked in B2. Reaching ground floor, I see there's a new popup donut stall open! I was gonna sit and wait for the optometrist to ask me what I needed help with, but Peggy ordered I walk up to the front counter, stand and tell the optom that my nose pad and ear tip needed replacing. Ha, the optometrist immediately told me to go sit down and she'd replace them for me.
• I saw Daniel but pretty sure he doesn't recognise me; I also saw Rico but didn't call out hello to him since he was busy. But when he got up, he caught my eye and nodded a greeting; Era waved back to him in return.
• 'Twas Ricoo who brought my  glasses back to me. I noted that today he was wearing the Team Leader and not the Manager badge; Rico just smirked and said it's the same thing. I also asked after his daughter and Rico tells me that she's starting semester break for three weeks! 
• Back home, I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today.  Also thanks to Peggy who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
