Saturday Post 481c

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 5331. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I continued reading and sharing my Facebook memories.
• 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: just church, definitely nothing special. Resigned to a meagre lunch with dad @ Hungry Jack's for lunch and then a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum. *sigh*
• But dad had better take us out for CHINESE food for dinner and gimme ONE bowl of rice!!
• Anyways, looking forward to seeing everyone @  church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Almost forgot, since December arrives toms, that means I can start eating my CHOCOLATE ADSVENT CALENDAR  and will need to compose my Christmas wishlist to Santa!! May not have time to spend  my most important two hours of the day online. *sigh*

Saturday Post 481b

 Heylo again and good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 5175 (ha, I'm more than half a normal person today; that's rare! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "God's Sovereignty" but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed NINE MINUTES online after I visit the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, continuing today's events?

• Pearl and I happily cuddle  and snore, me waking again for the pot :p around 9am shortly before PIG mum begins her  daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with 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. 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 tall cup of water before sitting over the loo proper., There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. Breakfast is my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast under a very thin bed of avocado, another tall cup of water, all my usual drugs :P and my first mug of delicious white tea with one big spoonful of honey. I happily read for thirty minutes first up, before switching over to happily playing the HP version of Bejeweled. When the parents are ready to leave, I've already passed three levels!
• After one more tinkle, I climb into the backseat of the car and buckle my own seatbelt. Dad tootles us off not to Underwood MarketPlace but to Capalaba Central and I make a note to ask Mrs. Hoppie where she is after we arrive!
• Actually, nature calls when we arrive so PIG mum takes me once to the loo first. Actually, she gets lost but I'm not any help, since I don't know the way myself! XD When I'm entering, I hear an indignant hey! And I see a girl in a wheelchair approaching but I've gotta pee first! Her mum/carer goes oh, sorry when she sees me exiting and I've got a disability, I apologise too and say there aren't any ambulant toilers in the normal ladies' loo,
• Dad gets us adorable little mini bahn mis for lunch; mother and I steal sips of his cappuccino and drink water.
• Afterwards, PIG mum heads of shopping herself first; after dad and I finish playing with our phones we try ALDI for eggs but without luck.
• On the way to the supermarkets, I buy a honey chicken sushi roll for my arvo tea, PIG mum rejoins us, and we finish shopping @ Coles, where we find eggs, hoorah!
• Back home, I use the loo for one tinkle and then climb back into the car. Dad tootles us off to church to play table tennis together~
• Ha, dad lemme win today. I'd ordered him too, since for one shot he smashed the ball into my THROAT and nearly KILLED me! XD
• Back home I was ready to use the loo for one tinkle and then sit to read for another 2.5 hours before showering but PIG mum ordered I shower first.
• So a nice hot shower for me - I washed and rinsed my hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was all done after only 10%, but happily leaned fully against the side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before I tapped the nice warm water off and called PIG mum back.
• After she dried my back and the back of the chair for me, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until Elf's AFO needed putting on and both laces needed tying.
• Once 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 out to the gobbling :P table, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• PIG mum passed me a banana for arvo tea and poured me one big mug of green tea. When I reminded her that I was after my second big mug of white tea with sweetener, she replied she forgot but drink that now and she'll gimme the white tea toms.
• Happily read for another 2.5 hours, since it's only Saturdays I can spend a blessed three hours reading~ Today I reached pg. 300 @ exactly 4:30pm, finished pg. 325 @ exactly 5:20finished pg. 333 @ 5:39pm, and finished pg. 350 @ 6:13pm. 
• Used the loo once, washed and dried Era 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.

• When I was summoned   for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle 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 wombok, lotsa some other vegetable I've since forgotten, two yummy little slices of halibut fish and two yummy pieces of pork that I could barely chew since I grind my teeth! XD
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the 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.
• Righteo, hopefully brb after one more loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening Sunday, else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 481

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4969 steps today (so I'll be more than half a normal person today; hoorah! XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Only Conscience-Cleanser'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Make 'An Authoritative Decision/Pronouncement" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'A Grateful Response' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed  ONE HOUR and FORTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after dinner tonight!! Anyways, events for today?

• Aww, my awesome sleep streak ended this morning when nature called @ 12:35am.
• After another pot: p trip around 6:30am, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Pearl and I happily cuddle  and snore, me waking again for the pot :p around 9am shortly before PIG mum begins her  daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and h - bbl!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 2197. Did consider briefly getting up and taking one big step forward and two small steps back to end the night with an equal 2200 but then I'd be tempted to plod twenty-two more steps for a grand total of 2222. It's Friday. Nah, too much effort. Toms, maybe. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I finished and shared my review for Despicable Me 4! Go, read and leave me comments! 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: hope PIG mum helps me up and I'm outta the room by 9:45am ...
• Will try and do a stinky unspeakable before breakfast; looking forward to my once-weekly egg!
• Also looking forward to finishing A Tale For The Time  Being and getting started on the new Matthew Reilly novel; will hopefully read for three hours toms and I'm willing to skip watching the 6pm news for the  196TH time for that!

• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy wombok, lotsa not-very-yummy asparagus, one slice of disgusting mushroom, one little chunk of pork and one little chunk of chicken.

Friday Post 481

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1340 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Root Of Ingratitude'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Think Right, And You Will Live Right' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread devotional topic's 'Restraining Order'. Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 18TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until I was woken by the noisy garbage truck THUNDERING down our road to tip bins, 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 again for the pot :P shortly after 9am, right before noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Peggy's arrival @ 9:30am.
• Once PIG mum lets Peggy in, she knocks, enters my room and calls good morning. When I nod Pearl @ her, she asks us, fifteen more minutes? Pearl gives another nod, and she thankfully leaves us be; phew, since Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
• When Peggy 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's who's already squirted some toothpaste for me. 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. Ky calls All-Bran XD) very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P, one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with avocado and also lightly 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, Peggy accompanies me back to the loo proper after smothering me with sunscreen. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Auto (pronounced Alto) and Peggy tootles me off to Underwood MarketPlace for the Black Friday sales! Unfortunately, the carpark's really full and in the end, I've gotta cross the road to enter the place!
• First, we buy groceries from Woolies. Stopping for a quick morning tea break (two cookies and cream ice cream sandwiches each), next Peggy gets me Sparkless3, and we hit the Black Friday sales @ Big W!
• For some reason, Peggy kept pointing out Christmas Grinch things to me? I'm the morgenmuffel and Winter's over now, so I'm unsure what she's going on about. But I picked up a new Christmas tee and got the newest Matthew Reilly book; I can't wait to read it! Peggy bought Mr. Thomas some fancy 2.2L fancy water bottle?  
• Back home, I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helped 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 with tomato and onion with TWO cheese, heavily buttered and one delicious mug of vanilla chai sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of honey, delicious~
• Before she left @ 2pm, I sat over the loo for one more tinkle.
• Will use the loo for another tinkle after I get offline before I sit @ the gobbling :P table to read for one hour.
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 195TH time!
• Toms: hope I'm outta the room before 9:45am; also hope that the parents take me grocery shopping somewhere, else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
• Haven't asked dad yet is there any table tennis @ church toms, but I'm looking forward to my two big mugs of white tea and the opportunity to read for three hours!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• At 9pm, I walked myself once more 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.
• It's ice cream night tonight, yay! Like I  always say, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Toms: Peggy's coming @ 9:30am and taking me to the Black Friday sales @ Underwood MarketPlace! PIG mum says provided I walk around and buy groceries with PIG mum first, she'll lemme use Sparkless3 to WINDOWSHOP and buy sth from Big W! (Personally I'm just hoping Peggy'll lemme use Sparkless3 for the whole trip. XD) Hoping there'll be sth cheap inside near the front; I checked out their Black Friday deals online and gosh: they're  all in the HUNMDREDS of dollars!
• Peggy will see me home and showered before leaving @ 2pm but since Dorrie isn't coming to gimme OT toms arvo, I'm looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online, reading for one hour and watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 195TH time!

 Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for Thursday! Em's potential final, final plodding total for today now stands @ 2344. Righteo, potential final, final events for Thursday?

• Once I'd used up the most important two hours of my day, I used the loo for one tinkle and then sat @ the gobbling :P table to read for one hour and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea. Dad offered to gimme arvo tea himself, but I said no thanks coz you don't put any sweetener into the tea and besides, I'm after a packet of HK-style powdered milk tea!  Dad tried next to claim that I'd run out but I knew he was telling porky pies and said don't worry, I'll wait for PIG mum to come downstairs and gimme arvo tea.
• Eventually, thanks to PIG mum who came downstairs, passed me one yummy banana, snapped me about half a tasty cracker and poured me one delicious mug of powdered HK-style milk tea.
• While I read for one hour, I reached pg. 222 @ 4:41pm and pg. 225@ 4:48pm. I actually don't take seven minutes to read three pages; in between, I was looking up unfamiliar words.
• After reading I used the loo for one more tinkle 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.
• Toms: Peggy's coming @ 9:30am, I'm getting up @ 9:45am and then we're hitting the Black Friday sales together! PIG mum has said that should I walk to buy groceries with Peggy first, she'll lemme use Sparkless3 for the black Friday sales shopping @ Kmart~
• Peggy will see me home and showered before leaving @ 2pm but Dorrie's not coming to gimme an OT session (PIG mum just got some text saying that she was unavailable) so I'm looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online, reading for one hour and watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 195TH time!
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after the news and dinner tonight, else wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!
  Cheers,

Thursday Post 481

  Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2025 steps (ha, I'm just over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'How To Magnify God'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Get Serious About Personal Growth' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Pardoned By God'. Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 17TH consecutive awesome sleep last night!! Like the past two days, 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 happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P around 8am when PIG mum wakes me with her noisy 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.
• After PIG mum lets Karina in, she knocks, pushes the door open and calls good morning. When I nod Pearl back @ her, she says "hitting the snooze button for fifteen more minutes ..." Pearl gives another nod and she thankfully withdraws; phew, since Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
• When Karina returns fifteen minutes later, I use the pot :P once more for one tinkle and we get me kitted, before I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who squirts some toothpaste for me.
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Karina, rousing @ her for AGAIN skipping breakfast and ordering her to buy some after she buys groceries for PIG mum.
• For breakfast, I munch one bowl of Just Wrong :P and Special K with one slice of toast lightly smeared with avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Thanks to Karina who turns on Sunrise 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, while Karina closes and locks windows, I sit once more 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 climb into the passenger seat of Karina's car, and she tootles me off to GCCW! Thanks to her who kindly helps me with my seatbelt both ways~
• Upon arrival, I use the loo for one tinkle and then discover we're using Meeting Room Two today.
• OInly seven attended today (an 8th lady appeared briefly but left after leaving her e-mail address). Thanks to Pat who helped me once too the loo (I used the ambulant cubicle in the normal ladies loo since the disabled was occupied) and thanks to Sattya who got me FOUR bikkies along with my morning cuppa, white and two!  The meeting ended eight minutes early today (but thanks to Tammy who stayed with me until Karina came back) and homework next fortnight's 'magic'; think I'll just send one of the HP stories I published on fanfictionn.net before the brain injury wiped me out!
• Back home, I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Karina who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, dad made me a tuna toastie for lunch but he took a huge chomp first and even 'forgot' the slice of cheese the first time around! >< I also drank one mug of unsweetened English breakfast; hopefully PIG mum'll  pour me a cup of powdered HK-style milk tea for arvo tea.
• Dad tried to sign Karina off and shoo her away four minutes early, but I remembered that she hadn't written the shift notes yet so kept her till 2pm. She's back again same time next Thursday and taking me to my first Christmas party for 2024 - the CODA one!
• After using the loo for one tinkle I walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Once I've used up the two most important hours of my day, I'll use the loo for one tinkle before sitting @ the gobbling :P table to read for one hour. 
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 195TH time!
• Tonight's ice cream night, yay! Like I say every week, a very little's better than none @ all~
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 481b

 Heylo again, good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 4715 (ooh, closest I've been to half a normal person for awhile! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Leftovers'.  But Monicah took me to play table tennis but I left early since Peter Pie and Yu Lam were taking me to the final GG social for the year! Had delicious fried chicken rice bowl for dinner and then people shared about themselves! Toms Karina will come @ 8:15am and take me to GCCW and see me home and showered before leaving @ 1:15pm. Don't think anythging's happening for the  rest of the day.

Righteo, hope everyone's having a smashing week!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 481

 Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total from Tuesday's actually 1885; secondly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's "The Lord Told Me..."; thirdly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2960 (so must surely have cracked three grand before the day's out XD); fourthly, TWFT topic's 'Cross The Line (2)' and fifthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Christ's Light Shines Bright" but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-ONE MINUTES online after getting home  from the final group social for 2024!! Anyways, let's start off with yesterday's events first!

• After using up my most important two hours of the day, I used the loo for one tinkle and then headed over to the gobbling :P table to read and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea.
• Nisha was stuck in traffic and arrived late; she arrived just when I rang CODA and asked Jayden where she was!
• Suppose since we arrived late we couldn't get the free parking ...
• Only six attended our final university meeting for 2024; I gave an impromptu speech and Neil said 'twas such a good one I deserved a packet of chips! He actually bought me a packet of honey soy ones and I asked  him to please open them for me but instead of pinching the top and pulling the bag apart, he compressed the packet until it went POP! and chips scattered all over the table! As with any loud noise, my immediate reaction was to screech, "It wasn't me!!" XD
• And FINALLY, I got a MILKSHAKE with my UnHappy Meal last night!! :D To think I've gotta wait another year before getting another one ... *sigh*
• Back home, repeat the usual nightly events and zzz~
• Today: woo hoo, 16TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, 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*
• Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am shortly before PIG mum begins her noisy daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum comes back to finish with only Elf's AFO straps and both shoelaces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. When dearest dad walked down the hallway and unpopped the lock into the garage, I also called out good morning to him~ 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 was one bowl of Minus :P and yummy Special K with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with some avocado and very lightly sprinkled with some 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, 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 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. For some reason, I couldn't find my GCCW homework I wanted to email PIG mum to please print for me??

• After one more loo trip, I got into the backseat of dad's car and he tootled us off to Rochedale Coles to buy sixty bucks' worth of grocery; apparently, doing this like four weeks consecutively will earn you like twenty thousand flybuys points?

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

• I type out a new GCCW homework piece, e-mail it, and then find the old one! XD

• For lunch I eat one bowl of rice leftovers, meaning I don't need rice for dinner tonight!

• Lunch was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• Can't remember who's taking me to table tennis but will haveta leave early (so hopefully there's not any cake today else I'll miss out! XD ><) since I've gotta get home and shower before Peter Pie and Yu Lam come pick me up @ 6pm to grab takeaway dinner and attend the last combined GG social for 2024!

• Toms: Karina's coming @ 8:15am and taking me to the last GCCW @ the library for 2024!

• Sadly, her shift ends @ 1:15pm, meaning there's no time for lunch afterwards, just time to get home for a shower. *sigh*

• But looking forward to my most important two hours online, the chance to read for one hour and hopefully watching the 6pm news for the 195TH time!

• Best of all, it's ice cream night toms night; like  I always say, a very little's  better than none @ all!

• Anyways, hope everyone's having a smashing week!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 480

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1532 steps (ha, I'm just over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Glorify God By Giving Thanks'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Cross The Line (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Partnership With God'. Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 15TH 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 happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing 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 FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Breakfast is two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully sprinkled with some 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* Monicah arrives two minutes late today but thanks to PIG mum who lets her in, thus saving me from a potentially dangerous trip to the front door myself.
• After breakfast, Monicah smothers me with sunscreen and 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 Monicah's red Toyota Camry/Corrola and she tootles me off to Breathe for physio. Thanks to her who helped me buckle my seatbelt all day.
• Physio today: 1.788km bike ride, 60 leg extensions for Elf, 36 leg assisted pull-ups, 36 single cable rows for Ela, 36 leg curls for Elf, tennis ball tossing and catching for Era and boxing!
• After one more loo trip (CZ258 unlocks the female toilet but 'twas already unlocked!) Monicah tootled us off  to Pinelands Plaza, parked near Coles and got a trolley for us.
• After buying groceries @ Coles I went to the Pinelands Bakehouse and bought a crunchy pork bahn mi from Aunty Lisa.
• Back home, I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Monicah who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye fully shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was my delicious crunchy pork salad roll plus one big mug of white tea; the only pity was that Monicah couldn't find where PIG mum had hidden the sweetener. >< *sigh*
• At 2pm I signed Monicah off with my thanks and byes; she's back toms arvo and taking me to table tennis!
• After lunch I used the loo for one tinkle and 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.
• Once I've used up the most important two hours of the day, I'll use the loo once and then sit and read for as close to one hour as possible, since Nisha's taking me to Toastmasters @ 5:30pm and since it's the final meeting @ QUT, PIG mum'll FINALLY lemme get a MILKSHAKE with my Unhappy Meal!!!
• Toms: hopefully PIG mum'll help me up and take me out grocery shopping somewhere since Lena's not coming till 2pm and taking me to table tennis; fingers crossed for cake! XD Oh, and must remember to bring my medals and extra cash to get them engraved!!
• Lena will see me home and showered but she'll get to leave thirty minutes early toms since Peter Pie and Yu Lam are picking me up for our combined GG social @ 6pm!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• After publishing the previous post, I continued creating my review for Despicable Me 4!
• 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.
• Actually, i did a messy stinky unspeakable ... unsure why but luckily Tumtum didn't hurt and both parents were fine.
• Toms: PIG mum'll help me up, since Monicah's not coming till 10am and taking me to Breathe for physio @ 11am. I can only hope it's the final 1.25hr session before returning to one-hour ones ...  *sigh*
• Presuming we'll buy groceries @ Pinelands Coles and hopefully PIG mum'll lemme get a crunchy pork bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse from Auntyn Lisa, since Aunty Nancy has already gone overseas for Christmas and new year!
• Monicah will see me home and showered before leaving @ 2pm; I'm looking forward to my important hours of the day online, reading for one hour and then hitting Toastmasters with Nisha, since it's the final meeting for 2024 @ QUT and PIG mum's FINALLY gonna lemme get a MILKSHAKE with my UnHappy Meal!!!

• When the parents summoned me over for dinner @ 7:19pm I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely over 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 little tong vegetable, lotsa soup carrot (two HUGE chunks, actually), lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup tomato, two/three slices of delicious black fungi and two/three slices of scrambled egg and spam ham.
• 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.

 Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for today! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3301. Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• Lena didn't arrive @ 4pm? Strange, she's usually bang-on time ...
• When the doorbell rang @ 4:01 I answered the door; 'twas Sharon!
• So a nice warm shower for me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Sharon 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 ripe banana, one tasty cracker, one big mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey and one big mug of FULL CREAM milk; I'm unsure which parent brought two liters home? Happiness was reading for one hour (I finished pg. 150 @ 4:09pm) and then having nearly twenty-five minutes to play the HP version of Bejeweled; I even passed three more levels!
• At 5:25pm I sat over the loo for two more tinkles and then said my thanks and byes to her. Since she's from Staffing Options I'm unsure when I'll see her again. 
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2395 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic's 'Hold Fast To Your Hope'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Value Of One Lost Sheep' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Being Thankful Despite Trials'. Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 14TH consecutive awesome sleep last night; that's the 14TH time this year that I've enjoyed one straight week of awesome sleeps! :D Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 5:25am (love how early the Sun rises now even though Summer hasn't officially arrived yet) 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 again for the pot :P just after 9am, shortly before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum returns to finish only with Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Breakfast is one bowl of the less yummy (so sticky) bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully sprinkled with some salt plus all my usual drugs. :P 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.

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.

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 checks it's buckled correctly and then tootles me off to Ray's for some massage and acupuncture. She brings along my medals, too! XD
• At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle before lying down for some massage and acupuncture. I happily show off to him my clinky medals and then PIG mum takes over and yaps her head off @ him. XD She controls her excitement pretty well today and only excitedly repeats one syllable four times! 
• After another loo trip, PIG mum tootles us back to the Warrigal Square Woolies, where we collect the free Bunch sample on offer - some Woolies brand meatlover pizza! When I tell PIG mum it feels kinda impolite to just grab sth free and leaves, she buys a pack of wet wipes, too. XD
• Yay, dearest dad's already home too when we get back! While the pizza's baking in the oven, I happily play the HP version of Bejeweled and pass three levels!
• For lunch, I get two slices of pizza (we've added extra cheese and pineapple), two spoonfuls of tinned fruit salad and one huge mug of green tea.
• Lunch finished, I used the loo for one more tinkle and then 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.
• Lena's minding me from 3:30pm till 5:30pm today. Feels like I've not seen her for awhile?
• Looking forward to reading for one hour and hopefully watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 194TH time!
• Toms: PIG mum'll help me up, since  Monicah's not coming till 10am and taking me to Breathe for physio @ 11am.
• Presuming we're buying groceries @ Coles Pinelands afterwards; fingers crossed PIG mum'll lemme buy a crunchy pork bahn mi for lunch even though Aunty Nancy's already gone until next year!
• Looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online and reading for  one hour before Nisha takes me to Toastmasters; even more excitingly, since it'll be the last university meeting of the year, PIG mum had better lemme get a MILKSHAKE  with my Unhappy Meal!!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing  day toms!
  Cheers,

• Toms: PIG mum'll help me up, since I've got a mid/late-morning to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Bet she's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him. XD

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2069 (See? Told you I'd pass two grand!  XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'A Sacrifice Of Thanks'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• When the parents called dinnertime, I used the loo for one tinkle and then climbed into the backseat of the car. Thanks to PIG mum who helped me with my seatbelt both ways this time, since I've got crappy night vision.
• Lol, for the third consecutive Sunday, dinner was @ Ho Lin Wah; luckily the food there's awesome! Tonight I enjoyed just over one bowl of the B set meal (fried chicken drumstick with vegies in rice), about half a bowl of fried ho fan in egg sauce, one slice of shallot pancake, one cup of Chinese tea and just over one mouthful of HK-style milk tea. PIG mum jeered @ me for taking a photo of the HK-style milk tea but couldn't forbid me from posting it, since it's not offensive. You  gotta take your victories where you can get 'em! XD
• Dad tootled us back home and 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 more tinkle @ 9pm following one more 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 Monday  (and week) ahead!

• Once my most important two hours of the day were up, I used the loo for one tinkle and then sat @ the gobbling :P to read and wait for PIG mum to finish her arvo nap and read for one hour.
• Today I reached pg. 125 @ 3:04pm; for arvo tea, PIG mum gave me one yummy banana, one chunk of delicious mango pudding from some church aunty and one huge mug of green tea from Aunty Nga.
• 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 all the important numbers. Actually, I was all done after only 10% but happily leaned fully against the right-side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before flipping the nice warm water off and called PIG mum back.
• After she dried my back and the back of the chair for me, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until my bra strap needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking, and both laces needed tying.
• Once I dried the loo lid, I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped both feet dry, washed and dried Era and then walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 193RD time!
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!

Sunday Post 480

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1817 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'When God Swears By God'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'What Kind Of Neighbour Are You?' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Character Change'. Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 13TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 5:25am (my favourite thing about the warmer month's prolly how early the Sun rises! ^^) 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 7am, just before PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself  into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the  bar strap (even though dearest dad's just  outside in the dining room eating breakfast she won't help me with the tee ><) 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 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 yummy flaky Special K with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully sprinkled with some 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, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the loo, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

•  After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum checks and then tootles us off to church, parking under the service hall. I haul myself up the ramp, use the second cubicle of the disabled loo once myself (since both the disabled cubicle and first cubicle have lids closed but mean PIG mum won't help me lift it), wash and dry both hands and then grab my usual spot for service on the most left.
• Yay I get to stay seated for worship today. I sing everything, plus the harmony for three songs, but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today's Tyvus; his sermon topic's Second Chance (about Jonah and the Ninevites).
• After communion, PIG mum returned with my medals! I put them on, used the disabled loo once myself, grabbed a piece of morning tea and then sat outside the service hall.
• PIG mum wouldn't lemme clank my medals together but the gold was shiny and some church peoples, like Aunty Mel, came for a looksee!
• Around midday, dad hauled me off to Hungry Jack's for lunch with him. I shook a milkshake (but dad demanded we share and drank most of it himself >< hmph) but he got me a Whopper Junior (he had a regular Whopper Himsel) only I only got seven chips! What a rip-off ... *sigh*
• 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.
• Once I've used up the most important two hours of the day, I'll use the loo for one tinkle and then sit @ the gobbling :P table to read for one hour and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo  tea.
• Toms: presuming PIG mum'll help me up since I'm pretty sure I'm seeing Ray for some acupuncture and massage toms morning.
• Hopefully she'll take me grocery shopping before we have lunch @ home with dearest dad else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
• Lena's minding me from 3:30pm till 5:30pm toms arvo.
• Hoping to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 193RD   time!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 480c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4752. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• 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, 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 192ND time. All the things I like recording are in today's first post.
• When summoned for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely over to the gobbling :P table, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• After the usual dinner, I drank soup, took bowl to sink and returned online, only coming back to the gobbling :P table when I realised that I'd forgotten to read for fifteen more minutes! XD Love how I  can spend three hours on Saturday with my nose buried in a book~
• 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: just church, definitely nothing special. Actually, the special thing's that I wanna bring my medals to church to show off! XD Unsure why PIG mum won't lemme wear them till after service has ended, but hey.
• Would love lunch out with other ESS people afterwards bur braced for a pissy little cheeseburger with dad @ Hungry Jack's. *sigh*
• Also braced for a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum. *another sigh*
• But dad had better take us out for CHINESE food for dinner  and gimme ONE bowl of rice!! *three consecutive sighs*
• Anyways, looking forward  to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 480b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4604 (sweet I'm even over 4.5 grand; that doesn't happen too often!) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'An Unfolding Adventure' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-THREE MINUTES online after I visit the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, continuing events for today?

•  Nature calls again around 9am, shortly before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye gfoo and help me exceedingly slightly with not only the bra strap but the tee (since dearest dad's @ home) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first. Whilst 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*
• After PIG mum comes back to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I drink one tall 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 bathroom, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Breakfast is my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast under one very thin layer of avocado, one mug of delicious French earl grey with vanilla sweetened with some honey, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water.  Happiness was reading for thirty minutes first up (I reached pg. fifty @ exactly 10:25am) and then dearest dad tootled PIG mum and I off to Arndale for grocery shopping @ Coles and lunch @ food court!
• After visiting the loo back @ home once, dad tootled me off to church to play table tennis with him! I brought along my medals to show off; pity only two people came to play today other than us. XD But dad lemme win, so I told PIG mum didn't haveta bok baba for me. XD
• Back home I use the loo for one tinkle and then sit @ the gobbling :P table to enjoy my second cup of white tea with honey, munch my honey chicken sushi roll and hopefully read for another 2.5 hours, since it's only Saturday that I can spend a blessed three hours reading~ I finished pg. seventy-five @ 3:31, reached pg. 100 @ exactly 4:30pm and started part two @ exactly 4:45pm.
• When PIG mum ordered I shower, I noted down that I had fifteen more minutes to read and headed into the bathroom.
• So a nice warm 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.
• I had  one tinkle before I tapped  off  the nice warm water and called PIG mum back; after she dried my back and the back of the chair for me, she didn't feature again until Elf's AFO  straps  needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
