Monday Post 510d

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 4008 (ha I'm just over four grand; that doesn't happen very often!) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Pray This Way'. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

  • Lunch was one bowl of rice leftovers and was spooned down with one bowl of soup.
  • Thanks to Bettina who cleared away my breakfast stuff for me; I used the loo for one tinkle then popped online.
  • Dad received a call from CODA (Michelle) saying Angelica would be   late but was coming.
  • When Angelica announced her arrival @ 4:11pm, both PIG mum and I went and answered the door.
  • So a nice hot shower for me - hairwash  today. Also thanks to Angelica 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 some fruit, one plain cracker and one big mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey. Angelica drank the herbal tea PIG mum had left in the cup for me. XD
  • Happily read Ender's Game for one hour, reaching pg.  175 @ 5:24pm.
  • At 5:40pm I sat over the loo once more for two tinkles then signed Angelica off with my thanks and byes. She's back same time next Monday fortnight.
  • Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 177TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
  • When either parent summoned me over for dinner @ 7:16pm, 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  dearest  dad's home-grown green peas, lotsa soup tomato, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup potato, two little chunks of yummy chicken, two tiny tasteless slices of soup beef and one yummy sliced up Chinese mushroom.
  • 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.
  • When nature called suddenly @ 8:30pm, 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.
  • Righteo, hopefully brb after one last tinkle 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. ^^

  • After one more tinkle, PIG mum tootled us  back to Warrigal  Square Woolies and we hiked every aisle before coming home. Bettina had already arrived; she was inside the bathroom when I came inside, and I immediately showed her my cool medal!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Monday Post 510b

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3586 steps (ha, I'm just over 3.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'God Will Supply All Your Needs'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Bible Helps Us To Overcome Temptation (5) and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Making Disciples For Christ' but  fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really  still owed SIX MINUTES online after Angelica minds me from  3:30pm till 5:30pm!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Woo hoo,  8th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:45pm 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*
  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking for one more pot :P trip when noisy 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 tops before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
  • When I inform PIG mum that I've mostly independently kitted myself, she comes back and finishes with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces.  That done, I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Breakfast is one bowl of delicious Special K (I'm a big fan of flaky stuff, for some reason)  with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and for some reason the PLATE (not the bread) very lightly sprinkled with  salt (no problems; I just lick the plate clean afterwards XD), all my usual drufs :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*
  • Breakfast finished, 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. Booting the computer up, I quickly publish today's first post. XD
  • When PIG mum's ready, I climb into the car and buckle my own seatbelt but amazingly, she helps me with that for the rest of the day! PIG mum tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage and we listen to her Spotify playlist all day.
  • At Ray's, I use the loo   for one tinkle then lie down for some massage and @ times ouchy massage. PIG mum was in her element yapping unceasingly @ Ray; my grateful thanks to him who always replied and kept a conversation flowing. Today she was excited enough to repeat one syllable six times before continuing. XD
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Sunday Post 610d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2749 but secondly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-ONE MINUTES online when I video chat Aunty Nga; will  haveta  turn the camera on and then keep surfing the net after she picks up!!  *sigh* But just super-briefly: final, final events for tonight?

  • Mr. Ilsley tootles us off to the Eight Mile Plains busway station and gets out Sparkless3 for me. We wheel me across the elevated platform and catch the elevator down. One benefit of using the wheelchair: I get to skip the queue! XD Need to write a special blog post about the Bridge To  Brisbane, definitely!
  • Boarded the next bus available and rode all the way to the starting point!
  • I used some portaloo myself while Mr. Ilsley went searching for sunscreen and then we waited for the entry countdown!
  • Someone counted down from start and everyone headed off! Mr. Ilsley jogged for a while but I told him to pace himself and offered him my lap should he need a rest. XD
  • Didn't haveta litter this year; after swigging some electrolytes (tasted just like normal water) you could put the empty cup back onto the table/into the bin! 
  • Event finished, I used another portaloo myself then grabbed a piece of fruit (the very last banana so I shared half with Mr. Ilsley, a copy of The Sunday Mail (will read toms) and some chocolate protein shake; yum!
  • For lunch we went to the Coffee. Wanted Pancakes originally but it's gone! o_O 
  • Eggs Benedict with bacon and a chocolate thickshake! :D Mr. Ilsley had a chicken caesar salad and a Pepsi Max.
  • Got home and watched the Broncos play the Raiders.
  • Thoughtt they lost so went and took a shower. I washed and rinsed my hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 10% of my short second-favourite  song out aloud. Actually, I was all done after only 11% but happily leaned fully against the side rail and watered myself for another tinkle, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was all done after only 11% but happily leant fully against the right-side rail and happily watered myself for another tinkle before calling PIG mum back.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted our once-weekly family dinner was back @ Ho Lin Wah. Before leaving, found out the Broncos actually WON! :D 
  • Got home, returned online then used the loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm.
  • Toms: late morning appointment to see Ray for  some massage and acupuncture. Bet PIG mum's simply  DYING to yap  ceaselessly  @ him.
  • She's said she'll takew me grocery shopping and aisle walking toms so I'm hoping I'll pass one grand.
  • Angelica's minding me from 3:30pm till 5:30pm toms.
  • Hoping to watch the 6pm news for the 179TH  time!
  • Righteo, hope everyone has  a smashing  week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2558 (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's daily devotional topic's 'Number Your Days' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-ONE MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! >< *sigh* Anyways, just very briefly, continuing today's events?

  • Did a stinky unspeakable and then @ 8:15am Mr. Ilsley came and picked me up for the Bridge To Brisbane! When he arrived, the first thing I told him was thanks for not coming  @ 4:30am like Mr. Hall did last time. XD
  • Cheers,
  • Em. ^^

Sunday Post 610b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 1954 (so must've passed 2000 before Sunday's out XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Number Your Days' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR  and THIRTY-ONE MINUTES online  after dinner tonight!! Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

  • 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 gobbling :P table and brush teeth. That done, I use the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • I've suddenly forgotten but I presume it's the same healthy stuff. 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 - bbl!
    Cheers,

Sunday Post 610

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1580 steps (ha, I'm just over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's '7 Reasons Not To Worry, Part 3'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Bible Helps Us To Overcome Temptation (4)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Tender Care" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed   ONE HOUR and FORTY MINUTES online after I watch the Broncos play the Raiders!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Woo hooo, 7th consecutive awesome sleep last night!  That's the 18TH time this year I've enjoyed one consecutive week of awesome sleeps! :D Like the past two days, nature didn't call until 6:30am, and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P when PIG mum woke me with 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 the bra strap and tops before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
    Cheers,

Saturday Post 610c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3606. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

  • Had great fun playing with dad and Uncle Simon today! Not only's Uncle Simon really 'hark  hei' (say that in Canto) he also says I've got a natural backhand! 
  • Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat @ the gobbling :P table to enjoy my   honey chicken sushi roll and read for another two hours and five minutes since it's only Saturdays that I can spend a blessed three hours reading~
  • Used the loo for another tinkle then plopped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 178TH time. All the things I like recording are in today's first post.
  • When PIG mum summoned me over 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 garlic shoot/stem, lotsa soup onion, lotsa soup carrot, a few tiny slices of pork and some delicious Chinese mushroom.
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after using the loo for another tinkle and asking PIG mum for another pad change (hopefully the flow's less heavy toms) I returned online.
  • At 9pm, I walked myself slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

  • Toms: for the first time since 2011, I'm doing the Bridge To Brisbane!! Mr. Hall's been in heaven for just over one year now but I'm doing it with Mr. Ilsley! Just the 5km, though~
  • Mr. Ilsley even says we can grab lunch out together afterwards, score! Should dad really take us out for our once-weekly family dinner together toms night, it may be the first time I've properly had lunch and dinner out @ some restaurant!
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing end too the weekend toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. 

Saturday Post 610b

 Really good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3546 (ha, I'm just over 3.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'We Are Moat Like Jesus When ..." but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-ONE MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 6:30am and after one pot :P trip,  I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P once more around 9am just before noisy 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 give poor Elf a very brief rub since she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night. Don't worry, Era rubbed Elf for fifteen minutes last night and Elf enjoyed wearing her sock to sleep last night although obviously Era remembered to peel the sock off this morning when nature called. XD During and after that, 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 opens the door for Esabel @ 9:30am before instructing her to gimme fifteen more minutes. Esabel knocks, opens the door and says "fifteen more minutes"; Daddy Bear nods @ her and phew, she wisely removes herself, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
  • When Esabel returns and pats the blanket saying hi, I sit up and introduce myself.  Daddy Bear also sulks @ her that she forgot to say good morning. XD
  • After she comes back, before I use the pot :P for one more tinkle Daddy Bear grumbles @ her for not saying good morning first but will forgive her if she makes my bed later and puts him on the pillow to await me tonight. XD
  • We get me kitted before I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. After drinking one cup of water, I sit over the loo proper and 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 head out to the gobbling :P table. Breakfast is my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast with a very thin bed of avocado, another full cup of water, all my usual drugs :P and my first big mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey. I happily read Ender's Game for thirty minutes first up.
  • Before leaving for Underwood MarketPlace, I use the loo for one more tinkle while Esabel closes and locks windows.
  • At Underwood MarketPlace, Esabel parks around the side then grabs a trolley for us. First, we buy groceries from Woolies (and, like Peggy, she lets me sit while we take the items through the checkouts so unsure why the parents won't) and then we grab my honey chicken sushi roll for arvo tea before Esabel tootles me home. Did you know, she lives just above me on Gaskell St.; she pointed her house to me when she turned left @ the top of Alan Cresc.!
  • So a nice hot shower for me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Esabel who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was a tuna in tomato and onion with TWO cheese, HEAVILY buttered on the inside and two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey.
  • At 12:40pm I sat over the loo while Esabel (her name's pronounced Isabel but her parents for some reason spelt it with an E) closed and locked windows again before tootling me off to church to play table tennis with dearest dad. Oh, thanks to her who kindly helped me with my seatbelt all day~  Unsure when she's next back since she's agency but I hope soon coz she's said she'll get us bubble tea next time! XD
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Friday Post 610

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3836 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's '7 Reasons Not To Worry, Part 1'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Bible Helps Us To Overcome Temptation (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Guarding Thoughts In Christ' but  fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really  still  owed FIFTEEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news (Seven's) for  the  177TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call  until 6:50am and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P when 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 before returning outside and waiting for Asha's arrival.
  • When Asha arrives, PIG mum instructs her to gimme fifteen more minutes. She does so, but Daddy Bear's grumpy she didn't say good morning first. I told him let it go; @ least she didn't say get up! XD
  • Once Asha returns, I use the loo for one more tinkle, we get me kitted then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth, before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table, making a detour to the year planner CODA gave me last Christmas to note down that my monthlies arrived yesterday. PIG mum was unkind and wouldn't pass me a pen last night; thanks to Asha who got one for me.
  • Breakfast was one bowl of warmed cereal (I had to remind PIG mum for a second time that normal Weet-Bix's fine now) with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread with avocado and lightly   sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and all my usual drugs. 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, Asha accompanies me back to the bathroom then returns to the kitchen and washes up my breakfast dishes. Over the loo, 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 Asha's car. She helps me with my seatbelt (as she kindly does both ways) then tootles me off to the NAB for physio My student was unwell today; instead, a Canto physio student called Zensen from HK did physio with me!  
  • Physio today for two hours:  Standing reaching for Era with left and forward weight shift, two rounds of Standing boxing 30 double leg pushups on tower of power, 100 single leg pushups on tower of power for Elf and ten laps long hallway walking.
  • After sitting over the loo for two tinkles, Asha tootled me home and I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Asha who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch is one tomato and onion toastie with only one slice of cheese and obviously unbuttered. Lunch was washed down with one huge mug of green tea.

Thursday Post 610d

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! With a final, final plodding total of 3526, lemme just cover final, final events for Thursday?

  • After signing Nadine off with my thanks and byes, I headed inside the house for dinner: rice, lotsa yummy garlic stem/shoot, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup onion,  lotsa soup potato and a few lil slices of yummy pork.
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, always above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Toms: Asha's coming from 8-1/2 and taking me to the NAB for two hours of physio with Lachlan. Fingers crossed I'll finally hike the Great Court and bug the CE to shout a hot drink coz any later and it'll get too hot!
  •  Asha will see me home and showered before leaving and then Syn's giving Ela one hour of unfunctional exercises. 
  • Looking forward to starting Ender's Game for one hour and watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 177TH time!
  • Nearly forgot! Tonight's ice cream night: like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all!
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing  end to their week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Thursday Post 610c

 Good evening! Firstly, I've already logged in Thursday's plodding total @ 3526 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "Hate ... But Cling To What's Good." Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

  • At 5:25pm I sat over the loo for two more tinkles before sitting by the door and awaiting Benadine's arrival @ 5:30pm.
  • She actually arrived a few minutes late (traffic) but we made good time and arrived same time as Erika! We hugged and then caught the lift up together; phew, it'd been fixed~
  • Ten attended tonight and next month we're reading Enger's Game, yay! Best of all, when Kath got herself another cuppa I asked can I please have one too and she said sure! :D
  • The meeting actually ended twenty-three minutes early tonight, but Benadine and I just sat @ the meeting table and tapped @ our smartphones until Phoebe gave the thirty minutes till close warning before leaving.
  • After borrowing the book, we both used the loo for one tinkle and I took a quick sit in the single-seat sofa downstairs before climbing back into  Benadine's car. Thanks to her who helped me with my seatbelt. Have I said before? I'm five years her senior but she's already married with two kids and her husband's a carer like her, only with   agency. And guess what? I was Benadine's very first client with CODA!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Thursday Post 610b

 Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for today! With a plodding total @ 3526 lemme cover 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 then sat @ the gobbling :P table to munch arvo tea (PIG mum had left me (one gloopy mouthful of delicious passionfruit, one plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea) and start reading the novel Ken gifted me for one hour! It's called Nine Perfect Strangers, I reached page twenty-five @ exactly 5:05pm and I'm really liking it!
     Pity I'm getting a new book club novel tonight and will haveta switch too reading that since I read too slowly post-brain injury to read more than one novel per month. >< *sigh*
  • After reading for one hour, 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.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Thursday Post 610

 Good afternoon! Firstly, I'm logging in today's plodding total @ 3526 (ha, I'm just over 3.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'How To Fight Anxiety'; thirdly, Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday's actually 5134 (ooh, 2nd consecutive day I'm more than half a normal person; that's rare!); fourthly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's 'Fences'; fifthly, TWFT topic's 'The Bible Helps Us To Overcome Temptation (1) and sixthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Lamenting To God'. Anyways, let's start with yesterday's events first, just briefly!

  •  Bought groceries with PIG mum @ the Warrigal Square Woolies (hiked every aisle), came home for lunch then played table tennis; apparently there's cake next week! :D
  • Peter Pie and Yu Lam came @ 6:45pm and gave me a lift to church for our combined GG social! Arrived early so just sat outside and waited for Dr. Lee's arrival since he's got the keys.
  • Eden brought me Momo's (honey soy-flavoured) Korean fried chicken for dinner! Luckily PIG mum cooked fried rice for lunch else I'd be fretting right now. XED
  • Vivian accompanied me once to the loo then helped me make my keyring! I Googled for a Stuart picture, she traced it, outline where needed colouring, I did the colouring then Dr. Lee took it to the kitchen oven to bake, threaded a keychain to the top and even attached it to my bag for me!
  • When people started packing up, I scooted my chair over to the windowsill and was ready to get going when Peter Pie asked me, are you ready to head?
  • Yu Lam accompanied me back to the car and patiently waited while I fumbled around with the seatbelt (done by feel and hearing since I've got crappy night vision) and then Peter Pie dropped me home.
  • Repeat the usual nightly events and zzz~
  • Today's events: yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:50am 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, noisy PIG mum beginning her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs 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 to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Karina's arrival @ 8am.
  • After she lets Karina inside, Karina knocks, pushes open the door and goes good morning, Emily. When I flop Daddy Bear's paw @ her, she next announces "Hitting the snooze button for fifteen more minutes ..." Another paw flop from Daddy Bear and she thankfully removes herself, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum.  XD
  • When Karina returns, I use the pot :P for three more tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who's already squirted some toothpaste for me.
  • Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table with Karina, rousing @ her for AGAIN skipping breakfast and ordering her to buy sth to eat after buying groceries for PIG mum while I'm attending GCCW.
  • For my breakfast, I slurp one warmed bowl of healthy cereal (but told mother from toms normal's fine since it's getting hot again) with one slice of toast lightly spread with butter/margarine and strawberry jam, since the avocadoes still haven't ripened/softened yet. I also pop all my usual drugs :P and drain one tall cup of water. Thanks to Karina who's turned 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, Karina accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing up the breakfast things. Over the loo proper, 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!
  • Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
  • Attended GCCW, which was held in Meeting Room Two today. 
  • Eight were present (one new), Tammy helped me once to the bathroom @ morning tea break and Mary brought pikelets (buttered and jammed; I got three!)  and salty popcorn for morning tea!
  • Got home and took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Karina who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was one bowl of rice leftovers; thanks to PIG mum who remembered to gimme a cup of powdered instant HK-milk tea.
  • Signed Karina off with my thanks and byes @ 1:30pm.
  • Used loo for one tinkle then plopped online.
  • Less than ten minutes left, so super-briefly: Benadine's taking me to book club tonight!
  • Tonight's also ice cream night!
  • Toms: will ring Michelle after I get offline and ask her who's helping me up @ 8am toms, taking me to the NAB for physio with Lachlan for two hours before seeing me home and showered.
  • Syn's giving Ela one  hour of unfunctional exercises toms arvo.
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl  tonight, else wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 610c

Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 3381 but secondly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-TWO MINUTES online after I get home from GG tonight!! Anyways, continuing today's events?

  •  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.

Wednesday Post 610b

Heylo again, good morning 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 5025 (sweet I was just over half a normal person yesterday; that's rare!); secondly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's 'Dry Wastelands'; thirdly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3203 steps; fourthly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Grace Must Be Free'; fifthly, TWFT topic's 'Rest And Relaxation Are Essential' and sixthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Powerless But Not Prayerless' but seventhly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWELVE MINUTES online after I get back home from GG tonight!! Anyways, let's cover last night's events first, just briefly!

  • After I'd enjoyed my most important two hours of the day online, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat down to read and munch arvo  tea before using the loo for two more tinkles @ 5:25pm, since Lorraine was taking me to Toastmasters @ 5:30pm!
  • Only six attended last night, but Denise got me a packet of chips for forgetting to call me Madam Warmup Master and Lorraine bought me a chocolate Aero bar when she bought herself a bottle of water!  BTW Caitlin owed me a chocolate bar next meeting. XD
  • Had my UnHappy Meal with an orange juice for dinner before Lorraine dropped me home and I signed her off with my thanks and byes. Will see her again next next Monday 4-6; she alternates with Angelica.
  • Today: yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't  call until 7:40am 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*
  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am, just before noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with only the   bra strap and the tee before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 610

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4200 steps (sweet; 2nd consecutive day I'm over four grand! ^^); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'How To Repay God'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Don't 'Assume' Your Children Are Okay" and fourthly, Our Daily   Bread's devotional topic's 'Unashamed For Jesus'. Anyways, events for today?

  •  Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night!
     Nature didn't call until 6:35am, and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before 9am, just before noisy 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 give poor Elf a very brief rub since for the 2ND CONSECUTIVE DAY she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night.
  • After PIG mum helps exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the tops (and by 'help' she only spreads it out for me) she leaves me alone to get myself mostly independently kited, 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 was one bowl of warmed healthy cereal with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with avocado and 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 slathers me with sunscreen and accompanies me back to the toilet before returning to the kitchen and washing up the breakfast dishes. Over the loo, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
  • After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Auto (pronounced Alto) and Peggy tootles me off to Breathe for physio. Thanks to her who kindly helps me with my seatbelt all day.
  • Since we arrive early (10:40am for an 11am appointment), we both play on our mobiles before heading inside @ 10:50am. I pass the hard level of Royal Match that Lorraine said I would!

  • Physio today: 2.187km bike ride, 40! bar-assisted pushups. 40 steps for Erf, 40.v-bar cable rows for both hands. 40 leg extensions for Elf, 40 leg curls for Elf, eighteen crunches on floor and boxing!
  • After one loo trip (CZ258 unlocks the female bathroom, and the second stall has an ambulant rail) Peggy tootles me off to Pinelands Plaza to get my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi.  Unfortunately, all the disabled parks outside are Coles were taken and Peggy doesn't find a park until nearly Ho Lin Wah! But she got a trolley for us~
  • Bahn mi bought and greetings exchanged with Aunty Nancy, I hike back to Auto and Peggy tootles us home.
  • At home, I ring dad (he's shopping @
     Bunnings) then take a nice hot shower - hairwash today.  Also thanks to Peggy who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted lunch was my delicious crunchy pork bahn  mi  plus one yummy mug of white earl grey tea; pity Peggy couldn't find where sneaky PIG mum hid the sweetener. *sigh*
  • Signed Peggy off with my thanks and byes @ 2pm; she's back same time next week~
  • Used loo for one tinkle then popped online.
  • Lorraine's taking me to Toastmasters tonight! I'm doing not only warm-up but table topics mater!

  • Toms:  presuming PIG mum will help me up, take me for walkies somewhere and come home for lunch before Tracey takes me to table tennis @ 2pm?
  • She'll see me home and showered before leaving @
     6:30pm; will haveta confirm with him toms but think Pastor Peter Pie will come pick me up for our GG group social @ church and Eden's gonna get me some Korean fried chicken with chips and even a bubble tea, maybe!!
     <3
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!

    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Monday Post 610e

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight!  Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 4025. Ha, I'm just over four grand; that doesn't happen too often! XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

  • When nature suddenly   called @ 8:40pm, I walked myself once 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.

  • Finished and sent GCCW homework!
  • At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Toms: Peggy's coming @ 9:30am, helping me up @ 9:45am and taking me to Breathe for physio @ 11am.
  • Then we'll buy groceries for PIG mum from Pinelands Coles and get my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi for lunch with the Pinelands Bakehouse~
  • Looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online then reading Perry Cross' story for one hour before Lorraine takes me to Toastmasters @ 5:30pm!
  • Not looking forward to getting    an UnHappy Meal with an orange juice for dinner but must remember to ask PIG mum to please gimme some rice for arvo tea lest I fret. XD
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
    P.S. Tee hee I've managed FIVE posts tonight! Yeah, that's possible some Mondays and toms I'll only have time to get two in. XD

Monday Post 610d

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3962 (so confident I'll have reached 4000 before tonight ends XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Not Getting What We Want'. Rightteo, continuing Monday's events?

  • So a nice hot shower for me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Lorraine 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 some fruit, one plain cracker and one small mug of green   tea. Unsure why PIG mum keeps putting herbal teabags into the white tea with sweetener mug, but I just told Lorraine to swap it.
  • Lorraine found me Perry Cross' book   to read. Unsure why it's entitled Still Standing; um, I don't think he can stand anymore? But I happily read that for one hour (finished page twenty-five @ 4:59pm   and reached page fifty @ 5:22) before having twenty-five minutes to play Royal Match! I passed one/two levels myself and Lorraine helped me pass another, but I'm stuck on a hard level now. XD
  • At 5:55pm I used the loo for two more tinkles before signing Lorraine off with my thanks and byes. She's back toms and taking me to Toastmasters!
  • Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 176TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
  • When dad summoned me over for dinner @ 7:06pm I used the loo for one tinkle 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 yummy cauliflower, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup tomato and one beef soup bone with nearly all the meat already gone. Maybe even a piece of salmon?
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowlful of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • 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 tooms else wishing   everyone a smashing TQuesday ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

Monday Post 610b

 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 3595 steps (ha, I'm just over 3.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'God-Given Foes And God-Given Faith'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Your Encouragement - You Can Make The Difference' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Embracing  Christ's Truth." Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't  call until 7:45am and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P once more around 9am just before noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the tops (actually, she just lays the top out and leaves me to get it on) 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 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 warmed healthy cereal with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and for some reason the PLATE (not the toast) very lightly sprinkled with salt (no matter; I just lick the plate clean afterwards XD) all my usual   drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. 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. Annoyance is having to return to the computer and note that I lifted the loo lid since PIG mum closed it. *sigh* Over the loo proper, 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 to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage and we listen to her Chinese pop all day too. 
  • At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle then lie down and get some massage and acupuncture. I've only just sat down and not even swung both legs onto the bed yet when PIG mum already excitedly burbled one syllable twice/thrice and I  realise I'm in for a long morning. Sure enough, she's so excited @ getting to yap she repeated one syllable EIGHT times today! XD My grateful   thanks to Ray who always replied and kept a conversation flowing; me, like usual, I enjoy the shoulder CPR the best.
  • After another loo trip PIG mum drives me back to   Warrigal Square Woolies and we hike every aisle bar the freezer ones, buying two/three items. Pity PIG mum won't lemme sit while I checkout our bought items, but dad won't either; fingers crossed Peggy will toms!
  • Back home, for lunch dad gives me one bowl of tasteless rice leftovers, which I spoon down with one bowl of soup.
  • After taking the bowl over to the sink I used the loo for one tinkle 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.
  • Lorraine's minding me from 4-6pm. Must ask her has she been given my Toastmasters shift toms since Michelle didn't get back to me today.
  • Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 176TH time!
  • Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm. She'll help me up, take me to Breathe for physio and then presumably we're buying groceries from Pinelands Coles and getting my once-weekly crunchy pork  bahn mi for lunch from the Pinelands Bakehouse.
  • Have just asked PIG mum for some RICE for arvo tea toms; since I'm eating a bahn mi for lunch   and an UnHappy Meal for dinner I'm gonna need some rice for  arvo  tea else I'll fret!! >< XD
  • Anyways, hopefully  bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing Tuesday ahead!
    Cheers,

Sunday Post 610c

 One good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3453. Aww, sorry, not quite 3.5 grand; maybe toms.  XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

  • Took a nice hot shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today.  I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was all done after only 10% but happily leaned fully against the side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling PIG mum back.
  • Once she dried the back of the chair for me, I did the rest 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 drying the loo seat I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped both feet dry, washed and dried Era then walked myself slowly and safely back online, 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 175TH time. All the things I like recording are in today's second post.
  • Once the news ended, I headed over the freezer and pulled open the door before asking PIG mum where had she hid dad's present? I can't see it! PIG mum came over and pointed it out to me; I bent down, retrieved it then walked over to dad, giving him a great big hug and saying Happy Father's Day! Then I told him Peggy said you should share it, but if you want to eat it all yourself that's cool too. XD
  • Used the loo for one tinkle then climbed into the backseat of the car. Thanks to PIG mum who kindly helped me both ways with the seatbelt since I've got seriously sh*tty night vision. *sigh*
  • Dinner was from Ho Lin Wah, but everyone must've been out for Father's Day dinner tonight since the carpark was packed and dad couldn't find a spot until nearly @ Coles! Luckily Ho Lin Wah wasn't too busy, though.
  • For dinner I had nearly (but not quite) one bowl of rice, about half a bowl of fried egg noodles and one deep-fried cuttlefish ball. I also drank 1.5 cups of Chinese tea, half the set soup and just over one mouthful of the HK-style hot milk tea. Oh, have I said yet? Yesterday marked ONE WEEK since I last enjoyed a proper meal out; hope another one comes soon!
  • 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.
  • 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: PIG mum'll help me up, since I've got a late morning appointment to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage.  Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him.  XD
  • She'll take me grocery shopping and aisle walking afterwards, so I'm confident I'll have passed one grand before getting home.
  • Looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online~
  • Lorraine's minding me from 4-6pm; hoping to read the Matthew Reilly novel for one hour!
  • Also hoping to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 176TH time after Lorraine leaves!
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

  •  Happily read Phoenix Flame for one hour, finishing pg. 222 @ 3:28pm, reaching pg. 225 @ 3:42pm, finding the book title twice on pg.  240 and again on pg. 241before I FINISHED THE BOOK @ 4:41pm!! The acknowledgements were finished four minutes later and then some book excerpt was finished @ 4:42pm. This author's called Sara Holland; think I'll Google her and see what else she's written, since I really liked this book!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2393. Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

  • Once I'd used up the most important two hours of the day, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat @ the gobbling: p table to read for one hour and munch the arvo tea (one mouthful of gloopy passionfruit, one plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^ 
    P.S.  All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's, read by Mia Glover) for the 175TH (ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FIFTH!) time: Pasarelli, Nuong, Ayol, Chol (first name), Kenzie, Solakis (heard), Young, Todhunter, Millward, Trump, Liersch, Wilkinson (heard), Patterson, Amalee (first name), Saunders, Sussan (first name, heard), Ley (heard), Price, Amos, Sabalenka, Anisimova, Stuart, Tsimpikas, Hawke, Van Lunteren, Ward, Desi (first name), Freeman (heard), Eckersley, Palu, Swallow, Prince, Foran, Burrows, Woolf, Hill, Georgio (first name), Greer, Gimbert, Crosby, Armani, Heagney, Atkinson and  Hasler.

Sunday Post 610

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1911 steps (so promise I'll have cracked 2000 before the day's out XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Present And Powerful Love'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Importance Of Good Thinking (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Dependance On God'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Aww, I'd only just started a four-day awesome sleep streak when nature immediately ruined it!  ><  *sigh* , 'twas still a sound sleep~
  • When nature called again after the Sun's rising, I used the pot :P once more then immediately fell back asleep since I knew PIG mum would get very noisy around 7am!
  • Sure enough, PIG mum goes a-THUMPING around  upstairs around 7am and 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* Not only that, but I also a dream! For the 12th remembered dream of the year, EM are catching the train together somewhere, only I somehow get separated and am lost! o_O We're inside a train station somewhere and I'm not horribly disabled anymore but ambulating normally; I'm walking along the station when Kwany suddenly opens a door and appears! I'm so relieved to find him I instantly wake up. XD
  • PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the tops 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 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.

Saturday Post 610c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3887. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post, I started 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. Oh, the special thing's that it's Father's Day toms!  Not looking forward to a pissy little lunch with dad @ Hungry Jack's nor a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum but definitely looking forward to our once-weekly family dinner out toms night and giving dad his Father's Day present!
  • Anyways,  looking forward to  seeing  everyone @ church toms!
    Cheers,
  • Em.  ^^

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3757 (told you I'd crack 3.5 grand but sorry, won't reach four grand tonight XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Gifts' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FOUR MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

  • First, we buy groceries from Woolies (why I like shopping   with carers: they lemme sit when we reach the self-serve checkouts; wonder why the parents won't?) then I buy myself a honey chicken sushi roll for arvo tea while Sharon buys herself one teriyaki chicken roll for her lunch. Oh, yeah: Sharon's the FREAK that doesn't like bubble tea! o_O >< XD
  • Back home I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Sharon   who kindly helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, Sharon reheated me one delicious bowl of the yummy potato bake I'd cooked with Dorrie yesterday arvo for lunch! Just unsure why PIG mum had to SMOTHER/TOP the bowl with a thick layer of carrots? Also thanks to Sharon who makes me two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey.
  • I sit over the loo for two more tinkles before Sharon tootles me off to church to play table tennis with dearest dad~
  • Uncle Simon's back! Playing with him's funny:  when he mishits a ball, he mutters grumpily to himself, "Oh, come on!" which reminds me of how Lleyton Hewitt used to yell "Come on!" whenever he won a big point! XD
  • Back home, I use the loo for one tinkle then sit to read for two hours, since it's only Saturdays I can spend a blessed three hours reading. This arvo, I found the book title on pg. 112, again on pg. 138, 139 and 152; then I reached pg. 150 @ exactly 3:10, found the book title on pg. 160, pg. 164, pg. 165, five times on pg.  169, reached pg. 175 @ 3:51pm, took a toilet break three minutes later, found the book title on pg.  185 and finished pg.  200 @ exactly 4:44pm!
  • Used the loo for one tinkle, plopped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 174TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
  • Watched Riverfire from the computer; eighteen minutes of amazing fireworks! PIG mum had already gotten dad to start dinner with her but without me @ 6:55pm. *sigh* My favourite firework were the ones that lanced straight up from the bridge like arrows and Riverfire has some big fluffy blue mascot!
  • After getting permission to come eat 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.
  • Oh, tonight marks one WEEK since I last enjoyed a proper meal out; wonder when the next one's coming? Originally I'd hoped we'd have dinner out together for our GG social next Wednesday but unfortunately, nope.
  • Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy broccolini, lotsa some other vegetable I've since forgotten, lotsa soup carrot, one beef spinal cord bone with fragments still attached and three slices of the delicious potato bake I'd made with Dorrie yesterday arvo!
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Righteo, hopefully brb after one more loo trip 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 610

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3496 steps (so promise I'll have cracked 3.5 grand before the night's out XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "The Goal Of Christ's Love"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Importance Of Good Thinking (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "A Sense Of God's Justice" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm  really still owed FIFTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's), Riverfire and eat dinner for the 174TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature did already call fractionally before midnight but after one pot :P trip I slept soundly until 7:00am before waking again. 
  • Following another pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once/twice more for the pot :P before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside to await Sharon's arrival, only to come back and gimme fifteen more minutes, since Sharon hasn't arrived! o_O I ask her please to ring CODA on-call should she not have arrived by 9:40am. Oh, after another pot :P trip earlier, I'd 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*

  •  Phew, Sharon arrives shortly afterwards and score, I'm given fifteen more minutes again! :D

  • When Sharon comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle and ask Sharon why she was late; had she been stuck in traffic? Nope, replies Sharon, she'd already been working @ another shift before me! Wonder why workers aren't given time to travel between shifts?
  • We get me kitted, before I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. I'd asked Sharon please to bring me a cup of water, so I repeated that request after brushing teeth and I was heading to the loo. Lol, annoying PIG mum calls back, "Come out yourself. She's making your breakfast." Exasperated, I retort, "No, water, please! Number two time! XD
  • When PIG mum brings me one cup of water, I drink it then 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 head out to the gobbling :P table with Sharon.
  • Breakfast is my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast with a very thin layer of avocado. I also drain one full mug of water, pop all my usual drugs :P and drink my first mug of white tea with one spoonful of honey. Over breakfast I happily read for thirty minutes first up, finding the book title on pg. 107, again on pg. 108, finishing pg. 111 @ exactly 10:35am and finding the book title again on pg. 113.
  • While Sharon closes and locks windows, I use the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then   climb into the passenger seat of her car. Thanks to Sharon who kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt all day.
  • Sharon tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace,  parks around the side and grabs a trolley for us.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Friday Post 610c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 4290.  Righteo,  final, final events for tonight?

  • 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.
  • Will hopefully remember to ask PIG mum to please gimme some ice cream tonight; we both forgot last night! XD
  • Toms: Sharon's minding me from 9:30am till 1pm. Presuming she'll help me up, take me to Underwood Marketplace to buy groceries from Woolies and get my arvo  tea sushi roll, see me home, showered and fed with lunch before dropping me off @ church to play table tennis with dearest dad.
