Sunday Post 442

 Good afternoon!  Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1448 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Lion And The Lamb'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "A Father's Blessing (2)" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'When Believing Is Seeing' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR online after Verena minds me for two hours!! Anyways, events for today?

• What better way to start September and Spring than with an awesome sleep last night? :D Nature didn't call until 7:10am, when dad surprisingly thumped around upstairs; soon, he's let himself into my room to gimme some eye goo; he also left the crop top on my bed, saying put it on and I'll help you with the rest.
• I skipped giving myself fifteen more minutes since PIG mum hadn't practised this with me and I wasn't sure I could do it; I did, but not before dad had asked twice are you done yet? No, I screeched back. Don't come in; I'm not properly dressed yet! While 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* Actually, since PIG mum’s overseas holidaying, I’m using the time to recharge my mental batteries and prepare for another year with her @ the helm! XD

   

• Dad comes back and finishes with my footwear before 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 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 surprisingly delicious instant porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast, all my usual drugs and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*

• After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the toilet, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of  the car and buckle my seatbelt (ahat I do all day). Dad tootles us off to church and parks outside the hall. I haul myself up the ramp, use the disabled loo for one tinkle and then grab my usual spot for service.

• Yay I get to stay seated for worship today. I sing everything, plus the harmony for all four songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*

• Speaker today was some called Nick; his sermon topic was Weakness Is The Way.

• Service ended nineteen minutes early today; I chatted with Aunty A until dad came to pick me up.

• After using the disabled loo for another tinkle, I grabbed a pack of bikkies and then sat @ the table dad had setup for Walk The Wall.

• Today I asked random uncles and aunties to sponsor me; I also thanked Uncle Peter for sponsoring me~

• Afterwards, dad tootled us off to Hungry Jack's for lunch. I had a chicken royale (the smallest chicken burger that only has lettuce) and exactly ten chips. Actually, dad only gave me seven but when I griped @ him for being mean he gave me three more. XD

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

Saturday Post 442c

 Good evening and definitely one final greeting for tonight!  Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2385 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Guard The Storehouse' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTEEN MINUTES online after I videochat PIG mum and Aunty Lai!! Argh, what a crummy way to finish August >< Actually PIG mum says I may wait until 9:58pm before calling her, hoorah! :D  Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• Around 4pm I used the loo for one more tinkle and climbed into the backseat of the car. Dad tootled us off to the Eight Mile Plains busway station. Phew, we got the second-last available disabled park!
• One benefit of using a wheelchair's that we get to skip bus queues and just head straight to the front! 
• At the city, dad wheeled me around (think since there was lotsa people and he didn't want me bumping into people) and picked some Chinese place for our dinner since I told him I needed rice. We shared a plate of honey chicken with veggies and some dumplings, delicious!
• After one  loo trip we went somewhere along the river to watch the fireworks! Dad just sat down on the ground beside me.
• Wow, the fireworks went for like twenty-five minutes! Just disappointing there weren't many blue ones. :o( When we left, the sky seemed really hazy? Then I realised coz tonight wasn't super-windy, all the smoke from the fireworks still lingered!
• Brisbane's certainly grown much busier since I started catching buses for uni; the bus kept stopping for lights and there was like a traffic jam! Dad said the bus trip took thirty/forty minutes? When we caught the lift back down to the car after arriving @ the bus station, a Translink old man was sharing the lift with us; I asked him, busy night tonight for you? The guy nodded then said xie xie and ni hao; I was very impressed that he spoke Chinese!
• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely back online, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. Mostly I'm just worried that dad told PIG mum not to organise any morning support for me, meaning I'll haveta struggle into a crop top before giving myself fifteen more minutes.
• Oh, the special thing's that Spring arrives, and Winter has been vanquished for another year, hoorah!
• The other special thing's that it's FATHER'S DAY!! Hopefully dad'll take me out for dinner again toms night since I wanna give him the cool card I got for him! The present's just boring. XD
• Anyways, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 442b

 Good afternoon again and probably one final greeting for today! Firstly, Em's probable final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2185 (ha, I'm over two grand XD) but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-THREE MINUTES online after I get home from watching Riverfire; argh, what a crummy way to end Winter and August!! >< *sigh* Righteo, just briefly, probable final, final events for today?

• Dad finishes with Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I drink one mug of water and do a stinky unspeakable.
• Sharon arrives when I'm exiting the bathroom~
• Breakfast is only half an egg and bacon sandwich! I feel ripped off, but the bacon was nice, even if there wasn't any cheese and the bread was dry (unbuttered).
• Did a stinky unspeakable and then went out to buy groceries and Father's Day gift and card for dad!
• Came home for my quickest shower - hairwash today. Also thanks too Sharon who helped me rinse out my hair for me.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was another two little slices of the thing I'd cooked with Dorrie plus my other mug of white tea.
• Went playing table tennis with dad!
• We're going out to Riverfire soon! I'm excited: haven't been for two DECADES (the last time I saw it live was in 2004) and I've totally forgotten the experience!
• Toms: just church, nothing special. Unsure why dad said  I didn't need any support getting up; since  I can't do the bra strap with one hand I'm somehow gonna haveta get the crop top on. *sigh*
• Would love lunch out with other ESS peers but expecting a pissy little cheeseburger with dad @ Hungry Jack's and less than ten chips. *another sigh*
• Tanje's minding me from 1:15pm till 4pm while dad's out playing baddy and enjoying arvo tea with his mates. Hopefully she'll lemme drink a white tea with two sugars and I can read Goldenhand for one hour.
• But what I really hope's that we'll eat out for dinner to celebrate Father's Day! I've already bought  dad a present (this morning) but don't think I've enjoyed a meal out this week yet!
• Righteo, looking forward to seeing everyuone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1461 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "Church Growth God's Way; thirdly, TWFT topic's "A Father's Blessing (1)"; and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic''s 'Wise Caring' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really owed ONE HOUR and FORTY-ONE MINUTES online after I get home from playing ping pong @ church with dad!! Anyways, events for today?

• Grr! Nature ruined my five-day awesome sleep streak when she suddenly called @ 2:50am. >< *sigh* Never mind, 'twas still a sound sleep otherwise~ 

•  After nature called again when the Sun had risen, following 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* Actually, since PIG mum’s overseas holidaying, I’m using the time to recharge my mental batteries and prepare for another year with her @ the helm! XD

•  Around 9am I wake for the pot :P once more, give myself fifteen more minutes and then call out to dad will he please help me up? Dad comes and says Sharon will come @ 10am but I tell him I've gotta get outta bed before 9:45am else I'll be back in bed before twelve hours have passed and I'll have wasted the whole day! Dad just tosses me Elf's AFO and says do it yourself. While 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*

Friday Post 442c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 2444. Aww, sorry, not quite 2.5 grand. Maybe toms. XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I had like one hour to play the HP version of Bejeweled; I've passed like seven levels today! Which prolly means I'll not pass anymore for another week. 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: Sharon's not minding me till 10am! Unfortunately, dad won't help me up first, so I fear I'll be back in bed before twelve hours have passed; day wasted. ><
• Plus she's only here for two hours! I'll definitely need to shower but I was hoping she'd take me shopping since I've gotta buy dad a Father's Day present! 
• Presume we're playing table tennis together toms arvo?
• Wonder will dad attend the Saturday Canto service ...
• But most excitingly, dad's gonna take me to see Riverfire toms night! Pretty sure I've not  been for TWO DECADES!!

  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 2384 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Balm In Gilead'. Righteo, continuing today's events?

• Once the news ended, I used the loo for one tinkle and 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: a tiny piece of the cheesy bacon and vegie slice that Dorrie cooked with me! When I wibbled to dad where was the rice, he gave me this tiny little piece of sushi that only had the rice and seaweed left. Doesn't matter; the 'rice bucket' (say that in Canto) in me's satisfied. XD
• 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 with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!

Friday Post 442

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2342 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Six Things  It Means To Be In Christ Jesus'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Always Be Open-Minded (2) and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "What's In Your Hand?' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-ONE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news (Seven's) for the 143RD time!! Oh, almost forgot: my final, final plodding total for Thursday's actually 4211; nice, I'm not often over four grand! Anyways, just briefly, lemme cover the rest of Thursday's events first!

• We ate dinner @ Ho Lin Wah before dropping PIG mum off @ the airport; she's going for three weeks!
• Back home, repeat the usual nightly events and zzz~
• Today: yay, 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:20am, and after one  pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh* Actually, since PIG mum’s overseas holidaying, I’m using the time to recharge my mental batteries and prepare for another year with her @ the helm! XD
• When Peggy arrived @ 9:30am she dinged the doorbell and I called out to dad that she's here but dad had gone AWOL! The second time Peggy banged the door and I yelled dad, Peggy's here! Dad didn't reply, but Peggy did! XD She called through the window Em, that you? I called back yes sorry dad must be outside; try ringing his mobile? Peggy says that's alright; when I hear dad open the sliding screen door and come back inside I called out again dad Peggy's already here and dad immediately clatters down the hallway, calling sorry I was hanging the washing up!
• Peggy still knocks, says good morning and offers me fifteen more minutes before wisely leaving after Pearl nods @ her. When she 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. Thanks to Peggy who's already 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 Peggy for breakfast, who tells me she had her usual two fried eggs for breakfast.
• For my breakfast I think I munch one bowl of Tiny Teddy cereal, berry flavoured? I also pop all my usual drugs :P and drink one full mug of water; happiness was not only did Peggy stick one slice of cheese onto my toast, but she also even made me one delicious mug of vanilla chai! Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast I sit once more over the loo. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Auto (pronounced Alto). Thanks to Peggy who helps me buckle all day and then she tootles me off to Breathe for physio, telling me to ring them since we're running a bit late. Upon arrival I immediately apologised  to Shirley for running about four minutes late but Shirley just replies cheerfully, "No worries: we're running late today too." XD
• Physio today: 1.922km bike ride, 36 leg-assisted pull-ups, 36 steps for Erf, 36 cable rows for Ela, 36 hamstring curls for Elf and boxing!
• After one bathroom trip, Peggy tootles us back to Warrigal Square and grabs a trolley for us; we buy groceries from Woolies.
• Back home I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, Peggy made me a tuna in tomato and onion toastie with TWO cheese and HEAVILY buttered on the inside! I was that down with my second mug of delicious vanilla chai.
  
• Before she leaves @ 1pm, I sit over the loo for two more tinkles. She's back again same time next week.
• Lol I forgot that Dorrie doesn't come until 2pm! Hence I happily played the HP version of Bejeweled for one hour; I've passed like four levels today!
• Since dad sent me to open the door for Dorrie when she arrived, I used the loo for one more tinkle before joining her @ the gobbling: PO table.
• Today we made a cheesy bacon and veggie slice; I've just realised I've not shared that over Facebook now; doing now!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 442

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2354 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic' from last night's "Forgiven For Jesus's Sake"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Always Be Open-Minded (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'God Of Justice' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY-EIGHT MINUTES online should I get to watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 143RD time!! Actually I won't, so I'm really still owed ONE HOUR online after I get home Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like the past two nights nature didn't call until 7:10am; 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*

   

• Afterwards, Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again around 8:15am for the pot :P when dearest dad comes and kisses me bye before going to play badminton with Uncle Chong and other people! I sit up and give him a great big hug, wishing him and PIG mum a very happy 40TH (pearl!) wedding anniversary and remind him to pick somewhere for dinner tonight before PIG mum flies back to Hong Kong~

• Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore for another hour, nature calling once more shortly before PIG mum negins 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 before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.

• PIG mum comes back to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.

• Breakfast is one bowl of healthy cereal with one slice of dry (unbuttered) 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, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the bathroom, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel.

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

• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt. She gets in too and then tootles us down the road to Warrigal Square, where we buy groceries from Woolies.

• Back home, I use the loo for one tinkle and then sit @ the gobbling :P table.

• PIG mum feeds me an early lunch of a tuna in tomato and onion toastie with one slice of cheese cut into two rectangles and one mug of delicious Chinese tea.

• Nisha's five minutes late coming to drive me to the NAB for physio;turns out she was stuck in traffic. Since I've got her number, I started ringing her five minutes after her due time but suddenly PIG mum calls that Nisha's arrived!

• NAB physio today with Dana: Forty sit-to-stands with left and forward weightshift,  stepping for both feet at the parallel bars and also stepping down and sideways off a block.

• Awesome Nisha shouted me a dirty chai! Hence I didn't rouse @ her for pulling over and refuelling @ the 7/11 petrol station; there's actually a KFC there!

• Back home I showered my quickest - hairwash today. Also thanks to Nisha who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was one yummy banana, abouut half a flavoured cracker and one big mug of delicious Chinese tea. Happiness was reading pg. 333 @ exactly 54:05pm and reaching pg. 350 @ 4:17pm.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 442c

 Good afternoon and prolly one final greeting for today! Firstly, Em's probable final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 1409 but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWO MINUTES online after I get home later; argh, that's the 2ND CONSECUTIVE DAY I've not been able to enjoy the ENTIRETY of the MOST IMPORTANT two hours of my day online!! ><  But just noting that I caught up with Pole @ her new forever home, soon I'm off to table tennis and tonight I've got GG. Toms I've got NAB physio with Dana but most importantly it's the parents' 40TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!! Still trying to persuade them to have a romantic dinner together asnd leave me leftovers @ home for dinner but mother keeps refusing since she reckons I'll burn the   house down if left on my lonesome even though I've tried telling her that I'm not THAT talented! XD Best of all it's ice cream night toms night; like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all! But think I've muddled up  the order  of this post, so you go figure. XD

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, my final, final plodding total from last night's actually 4142 (sweet, I'm over four grand; that doesn't happen very often!); secondly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's 'Reasoning With God'; thirdly, today I've been hard @ work plodding only 431 steps (since obviously, I've not left the house yet); fourthly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Jesus Will Trample All Our Enemies'; fifthly, TWFT topic's 'Why Does God Choose Weak People To Do His Will?' and sixthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Worth The Wait' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-THREE MINUTES online after I get home this arvo; argh, looks like it's gonna be the SECOND CONSECUTIVE DAY where I've not been able to enjoy the entirety of my MOST IMPORTANT TWO HOURS OF THE DAY ONLINE!! >< *sigh* Anyways, let's start off with yesterday's events first, just briefly!

• Think I went grocery shopping with PIG mum @  Warrigal Square Woolies?
• Kelly took me to NAB physio with Declan: Forty sit-to-stands with left and forward weight shift,  stepping for both legs at parallel bars and down, two laps short hallway walking and eight laps long hallway.
• Nisha took me out to Toastmasters last night and there was a record attendance: eleven!
• When waiting in line to order my Unhappy Meal with an OJ I looked @ the menu board; Maccas now offers a quarter pounder with bacon and crispy onion rings! Would it still weigh 1/4 pound though, I wonder?
• Back home, repeat the usual nightly events and zzz~
• Today: yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, 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*
• I'm next awoken for a 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 still @ home) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes and using the pot :P once more first.

Wednesday Post 442b

 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, my final, final plodding total from last night's actually 4142 (sweet, I'm over four grand; that doesn't happen very often!); secondly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's 'Reasoning With God'; thirdly, today I've been hard @ work plodding only 431 steps (since obviously, I've not left the house yet); fourthly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Jesus Will Trample All Our Enemies'; fifthly, TWFT topic's 'Why Does God Choose Weak People To Do His Will?' and sixthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Worth The Wait' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-THREE MINUTES online after I get home this arvo; argh, looks like it's gonna be the SECOND CONSECUTIVE DAY where I've not been able to enjoy the entirety of my MOST IMPORTANT TWO HOURS OF THE DAY ONLINE!! >< *sigh* Anyways, let's start off with yesterday's events first, just briefly!

• Think I went grocery shopping with PIG mum @  Warrigal Square Woolies?
• Kelly took me to NAB physio with Declan: Forty sit-to-stands with left and forward weight shift,  stepping for both legs at parallel bars and down, two laps short hallway walking and eight laps long hallway.
• Nisha took me out to Toastmasters last night and there was a record attendance: eleven!
• When waiting in line to order my Unhappy Meal with an OJ I looked @ the menu board; Maccas now offers a quarter pounder with bacon and crispy onion rings! Would it still weigh 1/4 pound though, I wonder?
• Back home, repeat the usual nightly events and zzz~
• Today: yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, 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*
• I'm next awoken for a 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 still @ home) before leaving me to getnmyself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes and using the pot :P once more first.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 441

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2017 steps (ha, I'm just over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Shadows And Streams'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'You Are protected By God' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Look More Like Jesus' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-SEVEN MINUTES online (same as yesterday, lol) after I get home from NAB physio this arvo!!  Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature actually called once just before midnight but then I slept soundly until woken by PIG mum's noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs @ 7:10am before waking for the pot. :P again, after whichI spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Around 9am the doorbell rings? Shortly afterwards, PIG mum lets 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. I also asked her who rang the doorbell this morning; turns out Aunty Emily was delivering some fish fillets PIG mum had ordered off her!
• Dad comes back to finish with Elf's AFO straps and both laces before 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 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.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 441e

  Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2949. Aww, sorry, not quite 3000. Tomorrow, perhaps. XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• When I read after dinner, I reached pg. 250 @ 7:47pm.
• After taking the bowl to the kitchen sink, I walked myself slowly and safely online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• At 9pm, I walked myself slowly and safely once more to the loo for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Toms: PIG mum's found her baddy mates to play with; hopefully dad'll take me grocery shopping somewhere else expect a super-pissy  plodding total from me.
• Will doubtless come back home for lunch before Kelly takes me out for NAB physio with Declan. Fingers crossed he'll lemme hike the Great Court and I can bug Elaine to shout a hot drink, because while it's still Winter Brisbane's going through like a heatwave now; Ray turned off the evil popcorn light today when I told him my right leg was like burning!!
• Kelly will see me home and showered before leaving @ like 3:45pm; I may haveta skip arvo tea in order to get my most important two hours of the day online ... no, hopefully I can pop online before dad takes me grocery shopping toms~
• Nisha's taking me to Toastmasters toms night and Glenn might come back!
• Looking forward to getting Maccas for dinner afterwards, never mind that Unhappy Meals were what I ate surely three DECADES ago!! *sigh*
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 441d

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2881 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Lord Told Me'. Righteo, continuing today's events?

• Everything's stable and my eyelashes haven't grown long enough to need trimming again so I'll see Dr. Ku again next year.
• Dad picked us up and tootled us home; I plopped briefly online and then PIG mum tootled me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage.
• After using the loo for one tinkle, I lay down for some massage and acupuncture. PIG mum was obviously in her element, yapping ceaselessly @ Ray; my grateful thanks to him who always replied  and kept a conversation flowing. Actually today I told him the evil popcorn light was too  hot and Ray turned  it off; yet it's still Winter! XD
• After another loo trip, PIG mum tootled us back to Warrigal Square Woolies and we bought groceries before we bought sth for dad  @ the pharmacy (the checkout lady recognised PIG mum!) and then we headed home.
• Lunch was yummy oven-baked fish fillet with mayo mashed up toastie and one big mug of delicious Chinese tea.
• When the carer hadn't arrived by 4:10pm I rang Michelle, who called back saying she'd come @ 4:45; when she hadn't arrived by 4:55pm I rang again but was told Michelle had already left! Thankfully, someone came @ 4:57pm (Kelly) and I immediately showered my quickest (hairwash today; thanks also to Kelly who helped me rinse out my hair) and read for thirty-five minutes, finishing pg. 222 @ exactly 5:30pm and reaching pg. 225 @ 5:34pm.
• At 5:55pm I sat over the loo for two more tinkles and then signed Kelly off with my thanks and byes @ 6pm before watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 161ST time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• Once the news ended, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy cauliflower, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup hairy melon and four small slices of plain chicken.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup, after which I read for  twenty-five more minutes, since I like reading for @ least one hour everyday~
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 441c

 Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2596 (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD) but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 161ST time!! Anyways, take two: events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night, for the first time in three days! Nature didn't call until PIG mum woke me with her noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs; actually, she made me forget the dream I was having!! >< *sigh* Never mind, hopefully it'll come back for toms~
• I'd just swung back into bed when PIG mum 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 around) before she left 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 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.
• Dearest's dad's slurping porridge, munching two/three slices of toast with avocado spread between them for breakfast and watching the soccer with his iPad. I call out good morning to him and he responds likewise~
• My breakfast is also one bowl of porridge, but I only get one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast, along with all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the loo, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climbed into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckled my seatbelt (what I did all day). Dearest dad drove me to see Dr. Vu for my once-yearly appointment; lucky PIG mum didn't haveta try follow (she ignores  often XD)  the GPS but that means if she has to drive me to see  Dr. Vu again next year I'll haveta put up with double the screeching of how nervous she is since she didn't haveta drive last year. XD
• Dad dropped us off, I hiked the nine steps down the staircase (thankful for handrails) and then around the front of some road before ascending a ramp before finally reaching the place.
• Once PIG mum told the receptionist I'd arrived she got the bathroom keys and I walked back around the road and up another five steps to reach the toilet. It's very inaccessible but there's not enough room for a disabled toilet.
• Lol I'd literally only just sat down when some lady called my name! I followed her down a long hallway and entered the room that she pointed at.
• Greeting Dr. Bu, I gave him a fist bump and sat on the patient's chair. First he did a general eye examination (looking @ eye chart, following his finger around, etc. and he also softly poked each eyeball with a tissue before he moved that machine thing in  front of me, I put my chin on the chin rest and looked through the eye holes. 
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 441c

 Good evening! Em's new plodding total for tonight now stands @ 3451 (so will hopefully have reached three grand before the night's over). Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• When the parents called dinnertime, I used the loo for one tinkle and then climbed into the backseat of PIG mum's car.
• Tonight we ate @ Ho Lin Wah. As expected, only had a wee bit (some rice and some ho fan) but the most memorable thing was that PIG mum's hand slipped suddenly when she was picking up her water cup and it went all over the bench between us and partially over my puffer vest! Luckily 'twas only water so I don't think the puffer jacket will need washing, just hanging up to dry.
• Back home, 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, the final, final spam count for the weekend plus what's happening this week else wishing everyone a smashing Monday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 441b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3279 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'A Heart Of Silver'. Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle and then 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.
• I'd enjoyed two minutes over half my most important two hours of the day online when PIG mum tumbled downstairs from pigland, immediately forced me offline and gleefully FORCED :( me to walk outside and gleefully force mostly poor Ela to take down the day's washing; argh, I HATES standing practice! ><" *sigh*
• Back inside, arvo tea was one yummy little banana, about half a tasty cracker and one big mug of delicious rice green tea before PIG mum ordered me off to go shower.
• So a nice hot shower for me - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 15% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
• After I called PIG mum back, flipped the nice hot water off and asked her to dry my back and the back of the chair for me, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until my bra strap needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
• Once I dried the loo seat, I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, stomped 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.

• The roster tomorrow says TBA so unless PIG mum has received notice about who's coming toms I'll send Michelle an e-mail tonight asking who's coming toms 4-6.
• Me, I've got a morning appointment to see Dr. Vu for my once-yearly eye appointment and them obviously back home for lunch before seeing Ray for some massage and acupuncture toms arvo. Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him. XD
• Hoping to read for one hour toms and watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 161ST time!
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 441

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2902 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Message Of Creation'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'What Have You Promised God?' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Space Race'. Anyways, events for today?

• Nature called once around 12:35am; I used the pot :P again around 7:05am. Noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs very shortly afterwards and within minutes she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with not only the bra but the tee also (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. 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 plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) 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*

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

• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my seatbelt. She tootles us off to church and parks outside the service hall. I haul myself up the ramp, use the first cubicle of the normal ladies loo for one tinkle, wash and dry both hands and then grab my usual spot @ service.

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

• Speaker today was Uncle Stephen Can and Peter Pie led communion afterwards.

• After service ended, I used the loo for one tinkle and then dad ordered I  sit @ the ICC fundraising table. Since he also left me two bikkies  and one cup of white tea, I didn't comment.

• Before PIG mum left for her coffee and gossip socials with her aunty friends, she took me to the loo.

• When Dr. Esther and David were ready too, I hiked to their car, climbed into the backseat and buckled my seatbelt

• We got takeaway from Mum's Wok! A fried chicken bento box with a wintermelon tea for me; originally I'd wanted a pearl milk tea but that would've been two expensive.

• 'Twas a long hike to the picnic area! But the weather was lovely and I finally got to know Ben, Aunty Cynthia's son! He's a high school music teacher and I've five years older than him. Ben even got me two crackers with cheese, one gummy lolly and one piece of fruit~ At one point Dr. Lee got down on bended knee; everyone was cheering and I thought he'd actually PROPOSED but no, he'd just given Rosanna a flower. XD

• Everyone congregated for a big group photo before the day ended. Thanks to Alice who walked back with me to David's car; she encouraged me to take a step-through gait and I managed that without problem since   I had Green Sticky with me.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 441c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 1266. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• I was paired with Chris from Bundaberg, and we WON; my first blue ribbon!! :D Hence dad decided on an immediate celebration: we had arvo tea @ Ho Lin Wah!
• My newest food goal: to eat a bor lor yau (say that in Canto) for arvo tea from Ho Lin Wah all by myself!  Dad cut me like 1/4 today but I enjoyed the HK-style milk tea~
• Back home, I took a nice hot shower - I washed and rinsed my hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 15% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
• I had one tinkle before I flipped the nice hot water off; 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 up.
• 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, always 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 160TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• When I was summoned for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy cauliflower,  lotsa choko and leftovers from arvo tea.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after writing Rosanna's 30TH birthday card for her (PIG mum somehow even managed to find a pink PEN for me!) I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• At 9pm, I walked myself slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. Actually, the special thing's that afterwards I'm attending Rosanna's 30TH birthday party! Dr. Esther and David'll gimme a lift; I just hope we can buy lunch @ Mosburger since today I read that they're ALL gonna shut shop!! ><"
• Anyways, looking forward to seeing  everyone @ church  toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 441b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1225 steps and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'A Lesson From Christopher Reeve'. Righteo, continuing Saturday's events?

• Unimpressed with the facilities there: they didn't have a disabled/accessible toilet! Thankfully, I managed~
• For my first game I was too nervous and lost to Gary in straight sets. >< *cringe*
• For my next game  I again lost the first set but won the second set ... only to lose the third in a tiebreaker! *another cringe* 
• But I upped the ante and won my final singles match against Tim in straight sets! He's very aggressive: the first time I dodged a ball he'd aimed for my head I told the ref I wanted a helmet but when Tim next got me with a body shot the ref laughed and said  I needed body armour! XD
• Lunch was those salad rolls Kim made and sold for five bucks apiece; we all had one and drank water and then PIG mum took me again to the loo before the doubles competition started.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 441

 Good afternoon!  Firstly, I'm unsure how many steps I've been hard @ work plodding today coz Wally's suddenly karked it (but it'll have not been too much since I used Sparkless3 today); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "God's Not An Idolater"; thirdly, Jooni's devotional topic from last night's 'Of Deadlines, Deadbeats And Dead Ends'; fourthly, TWFT topic's "It's A New Day For You" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Walking Anew' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 160TH time!!  Anyways, events for today?

• After the devastating and shocking events of yesterday arvo, small wonder I didn't sleep through the night although I've forgotten what time after midnight did nature call.
• When nature called again around 7am, I used the pot :P for another pot :P trip before I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Shortly afterwards, 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 returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO staps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth. She was mean and refused to put the toilet seat down for me. >< *sigh*
• After brushing teeth, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era 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) 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* Thanks to PIG mum who turned on Sunrise for my viewing pleasure; I'm rarely awake early enough to watch it!
• 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 the car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). The parents climb in too and then dad does the long drive to like Caboolture - since there was some traffic incident along the way, the drive took like one hour and forty minutes!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3809 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Pleased To Praise'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Could The Lord Call On You?'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's  'A Repentant Heart' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really owed ONE HOUR and FIFTEEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 159TH time! But that's not gonna happen since I'm watching the Broncos play the Eels tonight ... >< *sigh* But just noting down that I enjoyed my 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night (nature didn't call until 7:20am) and then Peggy took me to Breathe for physio with Winnie (1.965km bike ride,  36 leg-asissted pull-ups,  36 steps for Erf,  36 leg curls for Elf,  36 rows for Ela and boxing!) before we went to Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown to buy the parents a 40TH wedding anniversary present and buy groceries before coming home for a shower and lunch. Dorrie came to give Ela one hour of unpractical hand exercises and then I saw Dr. Cheng to get a referral since I'm seeing Dr. Vu next Monday/sometime soon) before returning home to read for one hour (I reached pg. 400 @ 4:32pm) but only read for like forty minutes since Ms. Alex suddenly rang with some very shocking news ... >< Toms I've got a table tennis competition! Meaning an early start but will be home early/mid arvo since dad's attending Saturday service. Unsure will I get to three hours toms? Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead~
Cheers,

Em. ^^

Thursday Post 441c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2023. Ha, I'm literally just over two grand. XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I read and shared the She Reads Truth daily devotional.
• 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.
• Tonight's ice cream night, yay! Like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all~
• Toms: PIG mum'll help me up, since Peggy's coming @ 9:30pm and taking me to Breathe for physio.
• Afterwards, I'm buying the parents their 40TH wedding anniversary present from Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown!
• Peggy will see me home and showered before leaving @ 2pm and then Dorrie's coming to give Ela one  hour of impractical hand exercises.
• Looking forward to reading Goldenhand for one hour after she  leaves and hopefully can watch the 6pm news for the 159TH time (provided it doesn't go off again)!
• Then will scoff dinner down and be seated  on the couch to watch the Broncos play the Eels! Sure, Parramatta's Karina's side but the Broncos must win EVERY REMAINING GAME this season and have other results fall our way just too *scrape* into the final! XD
• Anyways, hope everyone has a lovely end to their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 441b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 1965 (so hopefully I'll have cracked two grand before the night ends) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Anthropomorphism'. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• Ten attended today (Daniel was back!), Tammy helped me once to the disabled loo during morning tea break and brought mini chocolate croissants for morning tea; there was even hot chocolate! Homework for next meeting's 'overslept'.
• After one more loo trip, Karina tootled me off to somewhere to get my gyros before I then had physio @ the nab.
• Dana's an international student from Canada! I'll see Declan every Tuesday and her every Thursday. Physio today: Twenty sit-to-stands with left and forward weightshift, ten single-leg pushups with Erf, twenty with Elf and four laps short hallway walking.
• After sitting over the loo for two more tinkles Karina tootled me home and I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Karina who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, I sat outside and started reading Goldenhand before I signed her off with my thanks and byes @ 3:45pm. She's back same time next week.
• PIG mum got home, tossed me one yummy banana, about half a tasty cracker and poured me one packet of powdered instant HK-style milk tea coffee. I happily read Goldenhand for one hour, finishing pg. 150 @ 3:54pm and reaching pg. 175 @  4:27pm.
• Used the loo for one tinkle, plopped online and tried to watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 159TH time but about twenty-five minutes into it, the stream cuts out and restarts! I start watching it again and the parents start dinner without me but when it cuts out again and then rejoins the livestream, I give up. >< *sigh*
• Before dinner I walk myself once slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: swelling ('joong' in Canto!) Well, 'twas more like 1/4 of a swelling with lootsa little tong vegetable/cauliflower, lotsa choko and two slices of tasteless pork beef.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Righteo, hopefully bbl shortly after 9pm following one last loo trip with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening Fridayy, else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 441

 Good afternoon! Firstly, my final, final plodding total from Wednesday's actually 3061 (ha, I'm just over three grand XD); secondly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's 'Making Music In One Accord'; thirdly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1824 steps; fourthly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'An Unshakably Happy God; fifthly, TWFT topic's "Be Aware Of Satan's Schemes" and sixthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Place It On God's Plate" but seventhly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and EIGHT MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 159TH time!! Anyways, let's start with yesterday's events first!

• Ate a toastie for lunch and then Lena took me to play table tennis; it's our last practice before Saturday's competition and there was birthday cake: I even got a little slice of seconds! BTW, Coles chocolate cake with icing tastes better than Woolies mud cake. XD Uncle James won't attend Saturday's competition since's he's refereeing some other competition elsewhere!
• Got home and took a nice hot shower - hairwash today.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted I munched a banana for arvo tea, drank some kinda herbal tea and happily watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 158TH time. All the things I like recording are in yesterday's post.
• Wolfed down dinner before dad dropped me off to Peter Pie's for GG Bible study. Ten attended last night, we did a study from John 17:1-9. Thomas made an apple pir cake and Bernard brought bikkies from Japan!
  
• Dad picked me up and drove me home. Repeat the usual nightly events and zzz~
• Today: wow it's been four days since I last enjoyed an awesome night's sleep! 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*
• For some reason, originally I thought Karina came @ 7:30am but her arrival time keeps getting pushed back? Don't think she arrived until like 8:15am!
• I quickly used the pot :P for one tinkle, we got me kitted, I went and brushed teeth (thanks to Karina who squirted some toothpaste for me), sat over the loo for one tinkle and then headed out to the gobbling :P table with Karina, grousing @ her for AGAIN not eating breakfast.
• My own breakfast was one bowl of porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Thanks to Karina who turned Sunrise on for my viewing pleasure. 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 walked behind 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 Karina's car and she tootles me off to the Garbo library for GCCW! Thanks to Karina who helped me buckle my seatbelt all day.
• I used the disabled loo once on arrival and then discovered we were using Meeting Room Two again. 
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Anyways, just briefly, events for today?

Tuesday Post 440c

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 3637. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• When nature suddenly called @ 8:30pm, 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.
• Then I started reading and sharing Facebook memories~
• 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: fingers crossed PIG mum helps me up before 9:45am ...
• She says she'll take me grocery shopping and aisle walking somewhere, else expect a sup-pissy plodding total from me.
• Lena's taking me to table tennis @ 2pm; let there be cake again! XD
• She'll see me home and showered before leaving @ 6:30pm; I'm looking forward to watching the 6pm news for the 158TH  time before waolfing down dinner and going to Peter Pie's house  for GG Bible study.

Tuesday Post 440b

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 3483 (so confident I'll have cracked 3.5 grand before the night's out XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Use It!' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TEN MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, continuing today's events?

• It's dearest dad, not PIG mum who comes back to finish with my footwear (I'd already pulled both socks on) since PIG mum has already rushed off for her Pilates class.
• After brushing teeth and sitting over the loo for one tinkle, 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 one bowl of plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) 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, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the toilet, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

• After washing and drying Era, I sit in the chair beside the front door and wait while dad hangs up the day's washing before he drives us to Rochedale Village Coles to buy groceries.

• Lol I prefer grocery shopping with PIG mum; she writes out a shopping list and we just buy what's on it; dad tries to drag me along every single aisle! What was supposed 2b a three--item shopping list turned out 2b eight! XD But dad lemme buy a pack of white sauce pasta, yay, even though he only added the milk but not any butter, unsure why?

• Kelly arrived about four minutes late to take me to the NAB for physio; bad traffic.

• Physio today: Thirty sit-to-stands with left and forward weight shift,  ten trips ascending and descending the four-steps staircase inside the NAB, blaze pods and four laps short hallway walking. My new student Declan's twenty-three but not a GEM; for some reason he took TWO gap years! I also surprised Gem by showing her I could bend Elf's knee while standing and holding onto the rail @ the mini steps inside the gym?

• After sitting on the loo for two tinkles Kelly tootled me home and I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Kelly 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 little banana, two plain rice cakes and one mug of white tea. Pity Kelly couldn't find any sugar/honey but @ least she drank the herbal tea PIG mum originally left for me.

• Happily read Goldenhand for one hour, reaching pg. 100 @ 4:39pm, reaching pg. 111 @ 4:57pm and reaching pg. 125 @ exactly 5:25pm. Then I had fifteen minutes to play the HP version of Bejeweled~

• At 5:55pm I used the loo once more for two tinkles and then signed Kelly off with my thanks and byes. She's back same time next week.

• Happily watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 157TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.

• PIG mum got dearest dad to start dinner without me @ 6:43pm; once the news was over I used the loo for one tinkle and walked myself slowly and safely to the loo before joining them @ 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 choko, lotsa little tong vegetable, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup potato and like two slices of tasteless soup chicken.
• 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 @ 9pmn with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms else wishing everyone a smashing Wednesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
