Friday Post 479

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1251 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Seminary Of Suffering'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Songs Of Deliverance (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Time Well Spent'. Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 11TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like the last three days, nature didn't call until 7:05am, and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Afterwards, Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P just after 9am shortly before PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my bedroom to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum comes back to finish with only Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FOT E :( me to walk out to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit briefly over the loo before walking myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Breakfast is one bowl of Minus :P and special K 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, Deb (who arrived @ 10am) accompanies 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 Deb's car. She kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt (as she also does on the way back) then tootles us off to the Garbo cinemas to watch Here!
• We buy tickets (Deb got the free ticket with my companion card and I asked her to please buy the popcorn but the guy behind the counter told her that one bucket was ten bucks! That was way too expensive so instead she bought us an Aero bar to share, yum!
• After using the disabled loo once, we found our cinema. Wow Garbo's heaps bigger than Sunnybank Plaza Hoyts; 'twas all the way @ the end! Was also very unimpressed that I had too hike up two steps to reach my seat; unsure why they didn't have any @ the front?
• The movie had about four instances of that huge orchestral music that I loved but apart from that, the entire movie was mainly set in one place ... must've been a cheap movie!
• Afterwards Deb tootled me home and I showered half fast since she was anxious to leave precisely @ 1:45pm since she needed to take her dad to some medical appointment.
• PIG mum left me a tuna in tomato and onion with one cheese toastie with one mug of green tea for lunch. Phew, dearest dad quickly Whatsapp videocalled me, saying he'd safely arrived.
• Before plopping online I used the loo for one tinkle; will use it again before sitting @ the table for arvo tea but may haveta wait till after dinner before finishing reading for one hour.
• Hoping to watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 176TH time
• Toms: perhaps expect a super-pissy plodding total from me? Obviously, PIG mum's not gonna take me to play table tennis @ church!
• Wait isn't toms the Canterbury reunion?? Must confirm with Mr. Ilsley!!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 479b

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 1384. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa broccolini, lotsa soup tomato, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa  soup onion, two little cubes of soup beef and one yummy chicken drumstick with some of the meat already removed.
• Dinner's spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking my bowl over to the sink I walk myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over
• Uncle Slam arrives @ 7:30pm and @ 7:45pm sharp takes dad to the airport. Obviously, I walk dearest dad to the front door and smother him with hugs and kisses before returning online~
• At 9pm, I walk mysewlf 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.

• After publishing this post, reading and sharing the She Reads Truth daily devotional, I've gotta finish my competition entry for GCCW; the competition closes tonight!
• Toms: PIG mum'll help me up since Narelle's coming and taking me to Garbo to watch a movie together! 
• She'll see me home and showered before leaving @ like 1pm and since Dorrie's interstate hence not coming to gimme an OT session, I'm looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online, reading the Philippa Gregory novel for one hour and hopefully watching the 6pm news for the 176TH time!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing end  to the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 479b

 Heylo again and good evening!  Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 1334 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Lost In A Haunted Wood' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-FIVE MINUTES online after I visit the loo once more @ 9pm!!  Righteo, continuing events for today?

• PIG mum comes back to finish with only Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth.  That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Breakfast is one bowl of the less yummy (so sticky) bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran) 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 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! 

• Actually, no! After breakfast I happily play the HP version of Bejeweled since PIG mum says she's busy doing sth but  dad'll take me out grocery shopping when he's ready!

• When dad says let's do, I climb into the backseat of the car and buckle my seatbelt. Dad tootles us down the road to Warrigal Square and has me walk into Woolies before allowing me to grab a trolley.

• Lol, as usual, dad tries to enter every aisle while I try and steer the trolley straight so we can reach the end, turn around and go pay! XD

• After I took everything through the self-serve and climbed back into the car, dad tootled us home, where I do a stinky unspeakable before sitting @ the gobbling :P table.

• Lunch was unflavoured two-minute noodles with lotsa different soup veggies and like two thin small pieces of soup beef.

• Lunch was washed down with one cup of some herbal tea; after taking my bowl over to the sink I 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.

• When Narelle appears @ 2pm the parents let her inside, leave her with instructions and leave immediately.

• So a nice warm shower for me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Narelle who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was some delicious mango and one huge mug of white  tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey; Narelle drank the yucky tea  PIG mum had left for me. Happiness was reading  the Philippa Gregory novel   for one hour; I found the book title on pg. 353 and reached pg. 350 @ exactly 2:45pm.

• Then can you believe it:  I had nearly TWO HOURS to play the HP version of Bejeweled and have passed eight levels today! 

• At 5:55pm I sat once more over the loo for two tinkles before signing Narelle off with my thanks and byes; she's back toms and taking me to see some movie @ Garbo!

• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 175TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post. Last year I vaguely recall that I watched the 6pm news bulletin 175 times and the year before that, 150 times. Wonder how many I can watch it for this year?

• The parents started dinner without me around the weather report. I was disappointed since (1) I hoped dearest dad would take us out for one more dinner together before he left and (2) unsure why PIG mum likes dad starting dinner without her minus me, but hey. 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

Wednesday Post 479b

 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, Em's final, final plodding total from Tuesday's actually 1570 (ha, I'm just over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's 'Permission Slips'; thirdly, today I've been hard @ work plodding only 278 steps (since obviously, I've not left the house yet); fourthly, John Piper's Daily devotional topic from last night's Sin/Suffering, Sickness/Sabotage'; fifthly, TWFT topic's 'The Many Ways God Speaks To Us' and sixthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'A Beautiful Surprise' but  seventhly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and ONE MINUTE online after I get  home from grocery shopping with dearest dad!!

• Once I'd used up the most important two hours of my day, I used the loo for one tinkle before sitting @ the gobbling :P table to read for one hour and wait for PIG mum to wake from her long  arvo nap and gimme some arvo tea.
• Actually, I only had time to read for fifty minutes since I was gonna sit over the loo for two more tinkles before Nisha came and took me to Toastmasters @ 5:30pm but I finished pg. 333 @ 5:16pm. Thanks to PIG mum who passed me one yummy banana and poured me one mug of some herbal tea.
• At 5:24pm I sat over the loo for two tinkles before sitting by the front door and waiting Nisha's arrival. Actually she came four minutes late since she was stuck in traffic.
• We  had  a good run along the highway but traffic just STOPPED when we got to QUT; there was even a police car with light flashing! Hence all the free parks were taken; wonder what was  going  on?
• Neil said there was some outdoor concert happening! Like eight attended last night; I filled  in as timer apart from doing warm-up master and there's only like  three meetings left this year! Also, Kate signed me up to participate in Table Topics again @ the next conference!

Tuesday Post 478

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1337 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Radical Recompense'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Make God The Sense Of Your Self-worth and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Pause To Pray'. Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 8th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 7:05am and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am just before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with only the bra strap and the tee (since dearest dad's still home) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum comes back to finish with only Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle and call good morning to Bree who arrives while I', pulling my pants back up.
• For breakfast, I enjoy one bowl of flaky Just Wrong :P/Special K with one slice of dry  (unbuttered) toast spread with avocado and sprinkled with salt, 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, Bree accompanies me back to 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 climbed into the passenger seat of Bree's car. Thanks to her who kindly helped me with my seatbelt (as she did all day) and then she tootled me off to Breathe for physio.

• First Shirley had me sign sth and then physio with Winnie was 1.789 km bike riding, standing balance test with stepping and reaching for both arms, turning two 360s, three sets rowing with v-bar and boxing!

• After one loo trip, Bree tootled us off to Pinelands Plaza and grabbed a trolley for us before we bought groceries from Coles.

• Then I bought my once-weekly crunchy pork salad roll from Aunty Lisa; when I asked her where Aunty Lisa was, I was told "On holiday!"

• Back home I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Bree who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was my crunchy pork bahn mi; yay also that Bree found the honey and made me one MASSIVE mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey!

• At 2pm I signed her off with my thanks and byes. She's eight years younger than me~

• After lunch 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.

• Once I've used up the most important two hours of the day I'll use the loo for one tinkle and then sit and read till 5:30pm when Nisha's taking me to Toastmasters! Looking forward to bring dinner home from Maccas, never mind that UnHappy Meals were what I had surely @ LEAST THREE  DECADES ago!! *sigh*

• Toms: hope PIG mum'll help  me up and take me aisle walking before we come home for lunch and before Lena takes me to play table tennis since GG's @ my place toms night! Otherwise expect a super-pissy plodding total for me.

• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 478d

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 1558 (ha, I'm just over 1.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Where Did You Lose Him?' Righteo, continuing events for Monday?

• After another loo trip, PIG mum tootles us home, where dearest dad has some rice leftovers waiting for our lunch.
• That gobbled up, I take the bowl over to the sink and walk myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• At 1:55pm I sat over the loo for two more tinkles and then climbed back into the car, since 'twas time to see Dr. Ku.
• First, Debbie did our care plans, took our blood pressure (normal) and weighed us. I'm currently 59.7kg? I'm surprised; I had thought I was like 64kg!
• Next we saw Dr. Ku and he printed out a letter for me.
• Back home, I popped online until Lena arrived @ 4pm. Thanks to PIG mum who opened the door for her, saving me from a potentially dangerous trip to the front door myself.
• So a nice warm shower for me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Lena who helped me rinse  out my hair, thus freeing me to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. Also, wow:  that's the 200TH time this year I've had help with the hairwash!!
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo  tea was one little banana, half a plain cracker and one mug of some herbal tea. Happiness was reading the Philippa Gregory novel for one hour (I reached pg. 300 @ 4:43 and reached pg. 325 @ 5:24pm) before having twenty-five happy minutes to play the HP version of Bejeweled - and I passed one more level! Lena very gently massaged Ela for twenty minutes and then just sat and played with her phone.
• At 5:55pm I sat over the loo for two more tinkles before signing Lena off with my thanks and byes. Also thanks to Lena who helped me put on a pajama top since 'twas storming earlier in the afternoon.
• Happily watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 173RD time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• When the parents summoned me over for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa soup vegetables and the last little pieces of the yummy chicken stir-fry I'd cooked with Dorrie three days ago.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking my bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

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

• Nature didn't call until 7:05am; 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*
• Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more shortly after 9am for the pot :P 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 me exceedingly slightly with not only the bra strap but the tee (since dearest dad's @ home), before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum comes back to finish with only Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Breakfast is one bowl of Minus :P and Special K (the first time I've tried this cereal; love the flakes!) 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 climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles me off for some acupuncture and massage from Ray.
• After visiting the loo once, I lie down and get some massage and acupuncture from Ray. PIG mum's in her element yapping ceaselessly  @  Ray; my grateful thanks to him for always replying and keeping a conversation flowing. Me, I enjoy the shoulder CPR the most!
•

Monday Post 478b

 Heylo again, good afternoon and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I get to post online before midday. XD Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding only 791 steps (but going out again and expecting to have cracked one grand before the day's out); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Possible With God'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "It's A Walk Of Faith" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Getting Rid Of Baggage' but fifthly  and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and FORTY-SIX MINUTES online after I get home from seeing the GP!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 7th consecutive awesome sleep last night; that's the 12TH time this year I've achieved one straight week of consecutive awesome sleeps! So happy to have achieved my target~ Sure, back in 2019, 2020 and 2021 I somehow achieved TWENTY-FIVE one consecutive weeks of one-week consecutive awesome sleeps but PIG mum what's actually not important; what matter's that I don't have any accidents!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 478d

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! With a final, final plodding total of 3179, lemme just cover final, final events for Sunday?

• 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.
• Toms: late morning (11am) appointment to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him. XD
• Hopefully PIG mum takes me grocery shopping and aisle walking before we come home for lunch with dearest dad, else expect a super-pissy  plodding total from me.
• Also hoping Michelle will have filled in the TBAs for the coming week when I get back home, else I'll haveta ring her and ask!
• Fingers crossed I can read for one hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 172ND time!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 478c

 Good evening! Firstly, I've already logged in Sunday's plodding total @ 3179 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Marking Off The Miles'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• PIG mum eventually came down from her long Arvo nap and passed me one yummy banana, about half a plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea from Aunty Nga.
• Once the match was over, I took a nice warm shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 15% of my shorter second-favouritite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
• I had one tinkle before I tapped the nice warm water off and called PIG mum back; once she dried my back and the back of the chair for me, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until my bra strap needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
• After I dried the looo seat I sat foor one tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped both feet dry, washed and dried Era and then walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 171ST time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• Once PIG mum called dinnertime, I used the loo for one more tinkle, climbed into the backseat of the car and buckled my own seatbelt.
• For the 3rd consecutive week, dinner was @ Ho Lin Wah but I'll not have dinner again there next Sunday since dad's overseas and PIG mum doesn't drive @ night anymore.
• Ho Lin Wah serves thick, chewy authentic Hokkien noodles, unlike the thin limp ones that BIRU serves. XD My slice of shallot pancake was also delicious!
• When we were walking back to the car the parents bumped into the head waitress and stopped for a quick chat with her.
• Back home, I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Anyways, hopefully brb after one last loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight  plus what's happening  toms, else wishing everyone a smashing week shead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 478b

 Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for today! Wally's gone bonkers, hence why I'm gonna login last Sunday's plodding total in for today: 3179. Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• After my most important two hours of the day were up, I used the loo for one tinkle and then headed over to the gobbling :P table to read Dark  Tides for one hour.
• Instead, I found Australia playing New Zealand World Cup and obviously watched that instead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S.

Sunday Post 478

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1585 steps (ha, I'm just over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Medicine For The Missionary'; thirdly, TWFT topic's' 'Bring Your Problems To Jesus' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Born Again?' Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:05am and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since I knew PIG mum would get very noisy one hour later!
• Like clockwork, PIG mum's noisy daily a-THUMPING around upstairs precisely @ 7:05am wakes me for another pot :P trip, after which I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• PIG mum lets herself into my room @ 7:15am to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap and the tee (since dearest dad's @ home) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• 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. Actually, huge thanks to her whoo'd brought my electric toothbrush back into the bathroom since I'd clean forgotten to last night! XD
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Breakfast is one bowl of the less yummy (so sticky) bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) 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. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt. She climbs inside the car also and then tootles us off  to church, parking outside the hall. I haul myself up the tamp, use the second cubicle of the normal ladies toilet for one tinkle (since both the disabled and the first cubicle in the normal ladies toilet have closed lids but mean PIG mum won't lift them for me), wash and dry both hands and then grab my useful spot for service on the most left @ the back. PIG mum bolts back upstairs for CSS.
• Yay not only do I get to stay seated for worship today, but the little kiddies also come to sing with us and we even sing Mary Did You Know! I sang everything, plus the harmony for one song, but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Pastor Peter Pie with his final sermon from  his We Are EM series and he led communion afterwards. Then some missionary spoke (while her hubby spoke upstairs @ CM) hence why service actually ended LATE today!
• I use the loo for another tinkle, grab a packet of bikkies for morning tea and sit @ the end of the row of chairs outside the service hall. Aunty Cynthia comes over and says Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, since she's going down to Melbourns to visit her three grandkids (all under ten) and then flying back to HK!
• For lunch, dad and I are @ the Rochedale Hungry Jack's again. Cool I shake a fried chicken burger and get exactly ten chips from dad~
• Back home, I use the loo for one tinkle and pop online but return to the bathroom for a pad change when PIG mum gets home from her coffee and gossip social with the other church aunties.
• Dad had better take us out for dinner tonight and gimme @ least one mouthful of HK-style milk tea!
• Toms: 11am appointment to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD
• Since we've gotta eat lunch @ home with dearest dad PIG mum says we mightn't have time to buy groceries? Well, expect a super-pissy plodding total from me should that happen.
• May haveta ring CODA toms and ask who's minding me from 4-6pm; roster still says TBA ... nah, I'd better email Michelle. XD
• But can hopefully read for one hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 171ST time since I think dad says I can watch it again before we have our once weekly family dinner together out?
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 478b

 Heylo again, good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 1893. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• .Took a nice warm shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for 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 tapping the nice warm water off and called PIG mum back.
• Once she 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 I dried 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, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 

• All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news (Nine’s, read by Paul Taylor) for the 170^TH time: Bavas, Miles, Holstein (first name), Katter (heard), Crisafulli, Cavallaro, Todhunter, de Brenni, Geran, Scanlon (heard), Stone (heard), Chicco, Ramsay, Calman, Doanld, Johnson, Ibrahim, Godfrey, Netanyahu (heard), Blinken (heard), Albanese, Evans, Feeney, Mostert (heard),Jackson,Rowland, Kamala (first name), Trump, Kearsley, Fegan, Heinke (heard),Bartley, Anthea (first name), Fisher,Brooks,Freeman,Jonassen, Waller,Currie,Percat, Golding, Waters, Golding,Field, Ha-Teya (first name), Gripske, Kostecki, Perry, Dalton, Franklin and Gildea. Bronte Gildea read the sports report and Luke Bradnam read the weather report from South Bank. Brisbane was 17-26 today. Brisbane toms: 18-26. Mt. Gravatt toms: 16-26. Sunrise: 5am Sunset 6:04pm

• Again, PIG mum got dearest dad to start dinner without me. Once the news was over, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P tabble,  always  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• Dinner tonight: rice with the leftover chicken stir-fry Dorrie cooked with me yesterday!

• Dinner was spooned down with one bowlful of soup; after taking the bowl 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.

• At 9pm I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and 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. Would love lunch out with other ESS people afterwards but expecting a pissy little  sth with dad @ Hungry Jack's. *sigh*

• Also expecting another stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum. *another sigh*

• But hoping to read the historical fiction novel for another hour and hopefully dad'll take us out for dinner toms night!

• Righteo, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 478

 Good evening!   Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1817 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Great Missionary Hope'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Jesus Is The Way' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Hope In God' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-TWO MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like the previous two nights, nature didn't call until 6:20am and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Nature calls again around 7:45am and once more just after 9am, shortly 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 dearest dad's @ home) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first. Whilst doing so, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• PIG mum returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I drink one full cup of water and sit over the loo proper. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Breakfast is my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast sitting atop one very thin layer of avocado, all my usual drugs :P, another full cup of water and my first mug of delicious white tea sweetened with one squirt of honey. I happily read the historical fiction novel for thirty minutes first up, I finished pg. 175 @ 10:09pm. 
• After another loo trip, dad tootled me off to play ping pong @ church with him! He'd gotten permission from someone to use the room since everyone else was playing this arvo. Dad even lemme win this morning~ <3 XD
• Back home, I used the loo foor two tinkles (thanks to PIG mum for a pad change) and got back into the car. The parents climbed inside also and then dad tootled us off to Underwood MarketPlace and parked underground.
• Today we shared a mini pizza from Domino's and some soupy udon for lunch before buying groceries from Woolies.
• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle and then sat down for a long read, since it's only Saturdays that I can spend three hours with my nose buried in a book~ Today I  reached pg. 200 @ 2:26pm, reached pg. 222 @ 3:09pm, reached pg. 225 @ exactly 3:15pm, found the book title on pg. 232 and finished pg. 250 @ exactly 3:55. Then I happily played the HP version of Bejeweled until PIG mum woke from her long arvo nap to feed me my arvo tea honey chicken sushi roll and my second and final mug of white tea with two sugars.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 478c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 2175. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I had just over one hour to continue composing my GCCW competition entry!
• 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 ...
• Looking forward to my once-weekly fried egg and two big mugs of white tea with two sugars!
• Having gone to vote today we'll not haveta toms but hopefully dad'll still take me to church to play ping pong with him?

Friday Post 478b

  Heylo again and good evening!  Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 2101 (*see? Told you I'd pass two grand! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'A Message from Michaelangelo'. Righteo,  continuing today's events?

• Dried, creamed and rekitted, Jacinta makes me a plain tuna toastie with cheeses for lunch! With that, I drink one mug of some herbal tea and @ 2pm I sign Jacinta off with my thanks, byes and Merry Christmases, in case I don't see her again until next year. XD
• Dorrie comes and makes chicken chapchae with me!
• After she leaves I enjoy one bowl for arvo tea and happily read the historical fiction novel for one hour, finishing pg. 150 @ 4:57pm.
• Whoops outta time so just very briefly:
• Went for early voting! Was pissed @ the parents who made me walk all  the way and vote when the guy was originallyv  willing to lemme sit and he'd bring the voting papers over, but 'twas cool to finally visit the new SIC building; it's very fancy!
• Watched the  6pm news (Nine's) for the 169TH time. All the  things I like recording are in the previous post.
• Had  dinner and returned online.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 478

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1996 steps (so I'll definitely have cracked two grand before Friday finishes XD); secondly, john Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Christ Is Like Sunlight'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Not Justice, But Grace'  and fourthly, Our  Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Running From God but fifthly and way most  importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWELVE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 169TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 6:20am and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Nature calls again around 7:45am and once more just after 9am, shortly before PIG mum begins her usual 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 Jacinta's arrival.
• Once PIG mum lets Jacinta inside @ 9:30am, Jacinta knocks, opens the door and calls good morning, Emmy! Pearl nods @ her and when Jacinta says fifteen more minutes okay? Pearl gives another nod, and Jacinta thankfully leaves us in peace. XD
• When Jacinta comes back, we get me kitted and then I head over to brush teeth before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Jacinta, who tells me that she had two fried eggs for breakfast.
• For my breakfast, I munch one bowl of the less yummy (so sticky) bird  food  (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) with one slice of toast spread with avocado and sprinkled with salt (PIG mum had  originally given me a dry (no butter)  alice but I waited until both she and Jacinta were around before  asking foir avocado and salt), 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, Jacinta accompanies 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 Jacinta's car. She kindly helps me with my seatbelt and then tootles us off to Calamvale Central before parking outside Laneway and grabbing a trolley for us.
• I walk like the entire length of the centre to buy groceries with her (Jacinta bought her own) before hiking all the way back. Jacinta paused outside Sushi Hub to buy herself sushi for lunch; I asked her did I have enough change to buy myself a $2.50 eel nigiri? Yes, score! :D We sat on the leather benches against the wall and ate before coming home.
• So a nice warm shower for me - hairwash today. Also  thanks to Jacinta who helps me rinse out my - nnl!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• After publishing the previous e-mail, I was excited to have one whole hour to get started on my competition entry, due next Thursday!
• Instead, PIG mum came over and ordered I RSVP to my first Christmas party invite, the CODA Christmas party!
• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely 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 say every week, a very little's better than none @ all!

• When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner @ 7:12pm, 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 cabbage, three/four sticks of not-very-yummy asparagus, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup tomatro, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup onion and one little chunk which I obviously saved for last.

Thursday Post 478

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1474 steps today (so presuming I'll have cracked 1.5 grand before the day's out XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "God's Final, Decisive Word"; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Don't Rush To Judgement" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Food For The Hungry'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:20am, and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Pearl and I cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P once more around 7:45am and one final time around 8am when PIG mum began 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 Karina's arrival @ 8:15am.
• Once PIG mum lets Karina inside, Karina knocks, pushes open the door and calls good morning. When I nod Pearl @ her she says just hitting the snooze button for fifteen more minutes ... only she comes back four minutes too early! "Four more minutes!" Pearl protests grumpily with my voice; Karina just laughs and goes to empty the commode first. Luckily, she doesn't suggest I get up again until the four minutes are up. XD
• After I use the pot :P for one tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who's squirted some toothpaste for me.
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then walk out to the gobbling :P table with Karina, rousing @ her for AGAIN not eating any breakfast and demanding that she get some while I'm attending GCCW this morning!
• For my breakfast, I have one bowl of the less yummy (so sticky) bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P, one full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and one slice of toast lightly smeared with avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt. 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* Also thanks to Karina who turned on Sunrise for my viewing pleasure~

• After breakfast, I sit once more over the loo. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of Karina's car and she tootles me off to GCCW. Thanks to her who helps me buckle my seatbelt both ways~
• At the library I use the loo for one tinkle and discover that we're finally in meeting room three!
• Eight attended today (one was a new Taiwanese girl), thanks to Tammy who helped me once to the bathroom for morning tea (I managed fine inside by myself) and Satya brought CAKE! :D 
• Homework for next meeting's inspiration and when Karina came to pick me up, Sattya gave her the leftover vanilla mud cake she'd brought and told us to finish it! I asked Karina once back in the car following one more toilet trip can we quickly eat it now since I know if I bring it back home mother won't lemme eat any and Karina said sure; we both gulped two slices! XD
• Back home, I took a nice warm 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, back out @ the gobbling :P table Karina kindly poured me one small mug of milk since the white chocolate mud cake had been incredibly sweet before going to clean the bathroom.
• When PIG mum arrived home, she immediately decided she'd not lemme eat out tonight for dinner, hence why I asked Karina please to help me unclip my bra before leaving. Only PIG mum was in such a rush to have Karina leave she said no, go back to your room and I'll help you do it after I sign Karina off.
• That down, lunch was one yummy tuna in tomato and onion toastie with only one slice of cheese and one mug of Chinese tea, but PIG mum says she'll make me a cup of powdered HK-style milk tea for arvo tea; hope she remembers!
• Lunch finished, I use the loo for one tinkle and then walk myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day, I'll use the loo for one tinkle and then sit to read the Philippa Gregory novel for one hour. Hopefully PIG mum'll gimme some arvo tea!
• Hoping also to watch the 6pm news (Seven's) for the 168TH time!
• Toms: have e-mailed Michelle asking who's minding me from 9:30am till like 1pm toms; the roster still says Peggy but pretty sure she's on annual leave for the next two/three Fridays~
  Presume we'll buy groceries for whatever PIG mum decides I'm gonna cook with Dorrie toms arvo!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else hope everyone has  a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
