Thursday Post 513c

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3109. Righteo,  final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I wrote the first draft of my GCCW homework. There's one whole week before it's due, but Mary tends to complain should she not get enough time to read it. XD Dearest dad also peeled two juicy orange slices for me~
• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
  
• Tonight's ice cream night, yay! Like I say every week, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Toms: Damaris will mind me from 9:30am till like 1:30pm. Think   PIG mum said she's sending us to hike every aisle @ Woolies.
• After Damaris sees me home, showered and fed with lunch before leaving; presuming Syn's better and will come give Ela one hour of unfunctional hand exercises.
• Looking forward to reading the book Ken gave me for one hour and watching the 6pm bulletin for the 202ND time!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing end to   the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Heylo  again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's , final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2803 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Stoop and Listen'. Righteo,  potential final, final events for tonight?

• 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 read for one hour and munch the arvo tea PIG mum had kindly left me before hitting pigland.
• Arvo tea was one gloopy delicious mouthful of passionfruit, one flavoured cracker and one huge mug of green tea. Happiness was reading the book Ken gave me last GCCW meeting; today I reached pg. 275 @ 4:56pm, reached pg. 300 @ 5:23pm and reached pg.  325 @ 5:51pm.
• One more tinkle for me before I returned online and watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for ST time.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 513

 Good afternoon!  Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2546 steps (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "The All-Satisfying Object"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Keep On Going' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Remaining Teachable In God'. Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 7th consecutive awesome sleep last night; that's the 19TH time this year I've achieved one consecutive week of awesome sleeps! :D 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*
• Mini Pearl (Daddy Bear will come back next April; it's getting too hot for him to sleep over Tum Tum now), 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 give poor Elf a very brief rub, since she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night, before going back   outside and awaiting Karina's arrival, only to come back inside and say fifteen more minutes; Karina's late! I immediately start counting down from 900, saying please ring CODA should she have not arrived by 9:40am.
  
• But phew she arrives very shortly afterwards; when I'm using the pot :P for one more tinkle I ask   was she stuck in traffic? No, just signing in; I suggest many next time she ring the doorbell   before signing in?
• We get me kitted before 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 walk out to the gobbling :P table with Karina, grousing @ her for AGAIN skipping breakfast and informing her that she'd buy herself some (and me second breakfast XD) while we bought groceries for PIG mum from Rochedale  Coles.
• Breakfast was one bowl of delicious flaky Special K with all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Apparently white bread makes me fat and now PIG mum won't even gimme a slice of toast for breakfast?? *sigh* 
• After expert, Karina lathers me with sunscreen then accompanies me back to the bathroom 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 backseat of Karina's car, and she tootles me off to Rochedale Coles for grocery shopping.
• Karina grabs a trolley for us on arrival; before/after buying groceries we even duck into the sushi bar and she gets herself some beef rice paper rolls and me a crispy skin chicken sushi! :D
• Back home, I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Karina who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted  I sat over the loo for one tinkle while Karina cleaned the bathroom and then she tootled me off to meet Pastor Grace for our once termly lunch; on the way we even stopped @ Maccas and I got a free Big Mac to celebrate the Lions' winning the AFL GF! :D
• But My Personal Chef's CLOSED every Thursday!! o_O I immediately rang Pastor Grace who suggested Sunnybank Oriental but then Karina said I got the last table @ Vietnam Corner!
• Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• roast duck with rice lunch special with a HK-style milk tea coffee for me; Vietnam Corner does seriously good roast duck!
• Signed Karina off along  Warrigal Rd. since her shift ended @ 2pm!
• Used loo once and plopped online.
• Will use loo once, eat arvo  tea, and read for one hour @ 4:51pm~
• Hoping to watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 201ST time!
• Toms: have forgotten who's minding me from 9:30am till 1pm/2pm toms; Michelle did just ring and tell PIG mum.
• Presuming Syn's better and will give Ela one hour of unfunctional exercises?
• Looking forward to reading for one hour and watching the 6pm news for the 202ND time!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^
  P.S.

Wednesday Post 513c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 5419. Aww, sorry, not quite 5.5 grand. other day, surely! XD Anyways, final, final events for today?

• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat down for a lunch of rice leftovers with the parents.
• Lunch was washed down with one cup of herbal tea, after taking the cup over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Five minutes before Jules was due to arrive, I sat over the loo for two tinkles. 
• Aww there wasn't any cake today. >< But I played with Kim, Joey and Gary before Joanna and I paired up against two boys for doubles!
• Back home I took a nice warm shower -  hairwash today. Also thanks to Jules 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; also thanks to PIG mum for one mug of disgusting coffee since today was international coffee day! Pity Jules couldn't find where sneaky PIG mum had hidden the honey/sugar, though ... *sigh*
• Happily watched the 6pm news Nine's) for the TWO HUNDREDTH time!! All the things I like recording are in today's first post.
• Once the news ended, I used the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era 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: the yucky rice, lotsa soup potato,  lotsa soup carrot, lotsa yummy wombok and one soup bone with most of the meat already gone.
• 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 suddenly called @ 8:30pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• 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: Karina's minding me from 9:30pm. PIG mum's sending us grocery shopping somewhere, then I'm coming home for a shower, and then @ 1pm I'm meeting Pastor Grace for my once-termly lunch! Poor Naomi has to come with; she'll prolly get bored to death. XD
• Doubt I've got anything happening after Karina leaves; looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online and reading for one hour, then hopefully I'll watch the 6pm news for the 201ST 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. ^^

Wednesday Post 513

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 5229 (sweet I'm more than half a normal person today, that's rare! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "Spiritual' Activities" but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-THREE MINUTES online after I visit the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! 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 to use the pot :P once after dearest dad comes to kiss me bye before working somewhere.

• More happy cuddling and snoring for Daddy Bear and me, nature calling 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 exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap  and the tee (she  does the  bra strap up  for me but only spreads the  shirt out before I wear it) 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 I've mostly independently kitted myself, she comes back and finishes 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 delicious flaky Special K 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 problems, 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. 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. PIG mum tootles us off to Underwood Park for one more hike around the Duck Pond before it gets too hot; since the Sun wasn't out today, 'twas perfect weather for a hike~

• Hike finished, we popped into Woolies and bought some red envy apples that dad's mate recommended he buy!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 512

•  Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3393 steps (aww, how come I couldn't have plodded sixty steps fewer?? 3333 steps would've looked cooler! XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Make War With Unbelief'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Get Back Up And Keep Going! (1) and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'A Leap Of Faith." Anyways, events for today?
• Yay, 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:35am and after one pot :P trip, I immediately fell back asleep since I dearest dad saying he'd work @ Aunty Yvonne's place today!
• Sure enough, @ 7:35am dearest dad very thoughtfully walks silently down the hallway and unpops the lock  into the garage, which 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*
• After dearest dad tucks me back into bed, kisses me bye and leaves for his hard day's work, 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 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 her for fifteen minutes and Elf wore her sock to   sleep last night~
• Once PIG mum opens the door for Peggy, Peggy knocks my closed door, opens it then announces good morning. When Daddy wear nods @ her, she then states, "Fifteen more minutes." This time, Daddy Bear snaps his paw @ her, miming shoo! Peggy complies with a smirk. XD
• Actually, I fall back asleep but awake immediately when Peggy reenters my room when she opens the door. No point going full morgen muffel  on  her now that it's well and truly Spring; I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who's already squirted me some toothpaste.
• Teeth brushed, 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.
• Just over thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Had breakfast, did stinky unspeakable and went to the Pinelands Bakehouse to get my once-weekly crunchy pork  bahn mi from Aunty Nancy.
• Got a cheap haircut from  GoCutt; the hairdresser remembered that I taught her the blowing machine was called a hairdryer! Only her working today; she had two kids sitting on the stool waiting for her!
• Walked down to the other end and bought groceries from Woolies; thanks to Peggy who lemme sit on the self-serve checkout machine while she scanned our items and I could rest tired Elf and Erf.
• Got home and took a nice hot shower - hairwash  today. Also thanks to Peggy who helped me rinse out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was my delicious crunchy pork  bahn mi; yay that Peggy found the syrup and poured me one big mug of earl grey tea with one spoonful of syrup and milk! Over lunch I showed her the koala photos from last Sunday~
• At 2pm I signed her off with my thanks and byes; after I finished lunch, I took the plate/cup to the sink, used the loo for one tinkle then plopped online.
• Hope PIG mum remembers to gimme some RICE for arvo tea; since I'm attending Toastmasters tonight with Lorraine and will only get an UnHappy Meal with an orange juice for dinner ... *sigh*
• Toms:  have just emailed Michelle asking for October's roster since October arrives toms but I've not received the roster yet! I know PIG mum wrote out the shifts for Michelle; Michelle has sent PIG mum the first draft and PIG mum has emailed back with corrections, but it's not been finalised yet! Hopefully PIG mum'll help me up not too late toms and take me aisle walking while grocery shopping else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me, since after table tennis GG's still on break till next Wednesday!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 512d

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! With a final, final plodding total of 3664, lemme just cover final, final events for Monday?

• Before I signed Angelica off with my thanks and byes I sat over the loo for two more tinkles. She's back again next Monday fortnight.
• Happily watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 199TH time. All the things I like are in today's second post.
• Since PIG mum got dearest dad to start dinner without me  but  with her @ 6:55pm,  once the  news ended I asked permission to  join;  that  given, I  used the loo  for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :PO table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa soup   carrot, lotsa sweet potato, lotsa pumpkin (usually pumpkin and I aren't really friends, but this tasted great! PIG mum said dad cooked it differently?), some fish, one delicious thick Chinese mushroom and some pork knuckle.
• 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 randomly   called @ 8:20pm I walked myself once again 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.
• @ 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to   the loo for one 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 minding me from 9:30am till like 1pm/2pm but Breathe physio's not happening since they're taking holidays! Instead, Peggy and I will hike every aisle @ Pinelands Coles and buy groceries before getting my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse.
• Looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online before reading for one hour; must remember to ask PIG mum to gimme some RICE for arvo tea toms!!
• Lorraine's taking me out four our 5th Tuesday Toastmasters meeting!
• Righteo, hope  everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 512c

 Good evening! Firstly, I'm gonna  login last Monday's plodding total for today (4664) since Wally's time's incorrect and he reset himself @ 12:00am and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'A New Song'. Anyways, continuing today's events?

• Breakfast was one delicious bowl of flaky Special K 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   after I'm done eating 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. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage.
• At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle before lying down and getting some massage and acupuncture from Ray. PIG mum's in her element, yapping unceasingly @ Ray; my grateful thanks for always replying and keeping a conversation flowing. Today, in her excitement, PIG mum repeated syllables five times before continuing. XD
• After another tinkle, PIG mum tootled me back to the Warrigal  Square Woolies and we hiked nearly every aisle before coming home for lunch with dearest dad.
• Walking in, I bid Bettina good afternoon before sitting @ the gobbling :P table.
• Lunch was one bowl of rice leftovers and was washed down with one mug of herbal tea.
• After lunch I stayed and happily played Royal Match since I'd been given like forty minutes' worth of free lives!
• One tinkle for me before I plopped online.  Bettina left two minutes early and she's not back next Monday since it's a public holiday!
• When Angelica announced her arrival exactly @ 4pm, I walked myself slowly and safely to the front door and let her in, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• 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 one yummy pear plus one mug of peach tea. Happiness was reading Nine Perfect   Strangers for one hour; today I reached pg. 250 @ 4:29pm (it takes me two minutes to read, BTW) and reached pg. 175 @ 5:14pm. Then I had like thirty minutes to happily play Bejeweled-type games while Angelica gave Ela a long but very soft massage.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 512

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3570 steps (ha, I'm just over 3.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's "Our Good's His Glory"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Show It!' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Christ's Resurrection Power" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after Angelica minds me from 3:45pm till 5:45pm!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't  call until 6:05am and after one pot :P  trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking for the pot :P once more around 7:45am (the time when dearest dad used to leave for work) and again just after 9am, shortly before PIG mum began her usual 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 but  the bra strap and the tee (well, she lays out the tee for me; that's it)  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.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 512

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3570 steps (ha, I'm just over 3.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's "Our Good's His Glory"; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Be There When You're Needed"; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Way Home and fifthly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Prophesy!' but  fifthly  and way most importantly,  I'm really still owed FIFTY-EIGHT MINUTES  online while I'm video chatting  with Aunty Nga!! Planning   to keep surfing the net since she's always looking away from the camera too. XD Anyways, just briefly, events for today?

• Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night~
• Attended ESS (stayed seated for worship; sang everything plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING >< Peter Pie's sermon was entitled Loving It Upside-down and there was communion afterwards plus two membership transfers meaning we actually ended five minutes LATE)
• EM visited Daisy Hill koala centre! Bought takeaway lunch from Woka Underwood (fish in sweetcorn sauce with rice plus a HK-style milk tea for me; the lunch set menu's gone!) and took photos with the koalas~ Felt very loved since aren't they nocturnal? One stayed awake and climbed along a tree branch for my viewing pleasure!
• Got home, showered then watched the Broncos BEAT the Panthers; we're into the grand final, baby!! :D)
• All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine’s, read  by Mia Glover)  for the 187^TH time: Uptin, Geran, Heagney, Jackson, Ali (first name), Brigginshaw, Lierach, Wilmot (heard), Cameron, Andrews, Fagan, Ashcroft (heard), Tsimpikas, Todhunter, Heagney, Van Lunteren, Probyn, Albanese, Keating (heard), Hunt, Haig,Simpson (heard), Leary (heard),Schmift,Cameron, Kniese, Dunkley, Dobbin, Gerber, Crook,Trump, Dyer,Kotek, Kennedy, Godfrey, Gomez, Blanco and Swift (heard).

Sunrise: 5:29am Sunset 5:48pm

• Had dinner @ Ho Lin Wah. Neither set meal suit me; I ate less than one bowl of vermicelli, less than half a bowl of rice, one cup of Chinese tea, half a bowl of set soup, 1.5 deep-fried cuttlefish balls and just over one mouthful of the hot HK-style milk tea.
• Got home, used loo for one tinkle and plopped online.
• Toms:   late morning appointment to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him.
• PIG mum's said we can grocery shop and hike aisles afterwards, I'm expecting to have passed 1000 steps toms.
• Think Angelica's minding me from 3:45pm till 5:45pm.
• Hoping to watch the 6pm news for the 188TH time!
• Anyways, wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4767. Righteo, just briefly, final, final events for tonight?

• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was one bowl of rice leftovers (thanks to Damaris who mixed some oyster sauce into the food for more taste) and two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey.

• Used the loo for two more tinkles then Damaris dropped me off @ church to play table tennis with dearest dad Also visited the loo once and played with Uncle Simon~ (Unsure why the dot   points have become HUGE?! XD)
• Got home, used loo   for one tinkle and spent all afternoon reading; it's only Saturday that I can spend a blessed three hours with my nose buried in a book~ I reached pg. 200 @ 4:22pm, finished pg. 222 @ exactly 5pm and reached pg. 225 @ 5:03pm
• Watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 186TH time. All the things I like recording are in today's first post.

• One more tinkle for me @ 9pm.
• Toms: just church, definitely nothing special.  Actually, the special thing's that afterwards, EM's having a picnic lunch and visiting the koalas @ Daisy Hill! Peter Pie will gimme a lift and Susannah will grab some lunch for me!

  Cheers,

Saturday Post 512c

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4767 but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-TWO MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, just briefly, continuing today's events?

• Had  breakfast, read for   thirty minutes (reached pg. 125 @ 10:21am) then went out with Damaris to Underwood MarketPlace to buy groceries from Woolies and get my arvo  tea honey chicken sushi roll. Damaris bought herself one for lunch.
• Came  home and took a nice hot shower - hairwash  today. Also thanks to Damaris who helped me rinse out my hair, thus  freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 512b

 Heylo  again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 454589 (sweet I'm just over 4.5 grand; that's even less common than four grand!) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Poor Shall Be Rich'. Righteo, continuing events for today?

• Daddy Bear and I happily cuddled and snored, me waking for one more pot :P trip when PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into her room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and waiting for Damaris' arrival only to come back and gimme fifteen more minutes, saying she's late! I immediately start counting down, reminding her to please CODA's on-call number should she not have arrived come 9:40am.
• But phew she arrives shortly afterwards. After my fifteen more minutes, when I'm using the pot :P for one tinkle, I ask was she late since she was stuck in traffic? No, Damaris replies, I was late since I was coming from another shift before you. Have messaged Staffing Options and asked why don't they allow travel times between shifts?
• We got me kitted and then I head over too the bathroom and brush teeth. After drinking one full mug of water, I 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!
• Less than  thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Had  breakfast, read for   thirty minutes (reached pg. 125 @ 10:21am) then  went out with Damaris to Underwood MarketPlace to buyv - bbl!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good afternoon!

• After the 2nd pot 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*

• After publishing the previous post, reading and sharing the She Reads Truth daily devotional, I thought I nearly had forty-five minutes to play Bejeweled-type games with my mobile! I just kept the NRL on should PIG mum wander over. XD
• Usually @ 9pm I visit the loo once more but I went twenty minutes early since halftime arrived!
• At   8:41pm, 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.

• Dinner tonight:  rice, lotsa yummy  caulini, loytsa soup carrot and one tasty pork. Since the parents had already moved to the couch I happily propped both feet up, allowed Ela to stay on my lap and kept reading Nine Perfect Strangers.
• 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.

•   Anyways, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip @  9pm with my final, final   plodding total for today,  the final, final events for tonight and  what's happening toms,   else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!

Friday Post 512

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 5030 steps (sweet I'm already just over half a normal person; that's rare!); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Life Hangs On The Word Of God'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'How To Become Generous (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Beauty Out Of Tragedy'. Anyways, events for today?

• Aww, the best way to end the working week: awesome sleep last night! One of my favourite things about the warmer months is how early the Sun will rise! Nature didn't call until  5:35am 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*
• Since dad stayed @ home this morning and didn't leave for anywhere around 7:45am, Daddy Bear and I happily cuddled and snored all the way until just after 9am before PIG mum's noisy daily a-THUMPING around upstairs awoke me for another pot :P trip! 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 her for fifteen minutes and let her wear her sock to sleep last night) before returning outside and waiting for Damaris' arrival @ 8am.
• After PIG mum lets Damaris in, she instructs Damaris to gimme fifteen more minutes. That given, Daddy Bear waves her away; when she comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth before sitting over   the bathroom for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I head out   to the gobbling :P table with Damaris.
• Breakfast is one delicious bowl of flaky Special K cereal layered with sliced strawberries with one slice of dry  (unbuttered) toast 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, Damaris accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing up my breakfast dishes. 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 sit on   the chair beside the front door and Damaris lathers my face and hands with sunscreen before I climb into the passenger seat of her car.

• Damaris tootles me off to the NAB for the final session this block! 

• Physio today: Hiked the Great Court once, five rounds of standing blaze pods and seven rounds stepping on and off an uneven surface before coming back. No NAB physio next week since it's orientation and none the week after since it's some public holiday but I'm back the week after that.

• After sitting over the loo for two more tinkles Damaris tootled me home and I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Damaris who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

• Dried, creamed and rekitted, for lunch Damaris made me a toasted tuna in tomato and onion toastie with TWO cheese and even found the honey/golden syrup to make me one big mug of white tea!

• I sat over the loo for one more tinkle before saying my thanks and byes to her; I'll see her again tomorrow morning @ 9:30am!

• When nature suddenly called @ 2:55pm, I walked myself once slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• Reprieve: poor Syn's unwell and can't give Ela OT this arvo! Got the Whatsapp from PIG mum after finishing physio~ Unsure will next week be cooking with Dorrie/will Syn come back?

• Once I've used up the most important two hours of the day I'll use the loo for one tinkle, sit and read Nine Perfect Strangers for one hour and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea.

• Hoping to watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 185TH time!

• The Storm are playing the Sharks tonight ... should I watch?

• Toms: Damaris will come back 9:30am till 1:30pm. Presuming I'll buy my arvo  tea sushi roll with her, come home for a shower, lunch and two more big mugs of white tea with one big spoonful of golden syrup.

• Also presuming I'll play table tennis with dearest dad @ church toms arvo; must remember to find some WTT YouTube clips to watch!

• Hoping to read Nine Perfect Strangers for  THREE HOURS toms;   willing to skip watching the  6pm news for the 186TH time for that!

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

Thursday Post 512b

 Heylo again, good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3019 (ha, I'm just over three grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'God Gets Emotional'. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• nd shared my Facebook memories, I did another Stinky Unspeakable (messy  o_O) before sitting down to read Six Perfect Strangers until 'twas time to leave for dinner. We'd been invited to his badminton mate's place!
•  Uncle Jim lives with his wife and two daughters in Rochedale; the older one's in grade twelve this year but the younger one's only doing year seven and they're @ Mansfield State High!
• For dinner, I tried caulini (sp?) for the first time! Also pork ribs, steamed fish and beans. Aunty even gave me some more rice!
• Afterwards we ate PIG mum's DELICIOUS green tea cake and drank Chinese tea! Aunty poured tea into the little cups then poured the tea out into the tray! I'm like um, what are you doing? Apparently that's how you washed the cups!
•  XD
•  Chatted with the eldest daughter who thinks I'm really funny! I found that hilarious considering how PIG mum's told me before what a BORING person I am!! XD
• then came back since I'd left my mobile with them! 
• Back home, used loo for one more tinkle, washed and dried Era then walked myself slowly and safely back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Like I say, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Toms: an early start. Damaris will help me up @ 8am then  take me to UQ  for my last session with Lachlan for two hours: it's fun  shirt Friday and fingers crossed the CE will finally shout a drink!
•  hour of unfunctional  exercises with Syn.
• e everyone has a smashing end to the week toms!
  CRight, Howlett Houndheers,
  Andm. ^^

Thursday Post 512

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2058 steps (ha, I'm just over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic' from last night's "Jesus's Pursuit For Joy"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'How To Become Generous' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'God, Our Trustworthy Refuge'. Anyways, events for today?

• Grr, that's the 4TH time I've just started an awesome sleep streak (four days) and nature immediately ruined it! >< My idiot bladder demanded I relieve myself @ 12:20am but aside from that, 'twas a peaceful, sound sleep~ *sigh*
• After another pot :P trip following the Sun's rising, 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 another pot :P trip just before noisy PIG mum begins her usual noisy daily a-THUMPING around upstairs.  Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back out and waiting for Karina's arrival except she returns several minutes later saying Karina's late and fifteen more minutes! I immediately comply, reminding her to please ring CODA on-call should she have not arrived ten minutes later.
• Phew, Karina arrives shortly afterwards, and I get fifteen more minutes all over again~ <3 XD
• When she returns, I use the pot :P for three more tinkles, asking were you stuck again in traffic like you were last week? Karina replies no, just signing in.  I suggest perhaps next time knock before you announce your arrival and sign in, lest PIG mum think you're late again and gimme fifteen more minutes first?
• We get me kitted before 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 and then walk out to the gobbling :P table with Karina, rousing @ her for skipping breakfast AGAIN and informing her that she would buy herself breakfast after she'd gotten groceries for PIG mum.  XD
• For my breakfast I enjoy one delicious bowl of flaky Special K topped with sliced strawberries and one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with avocado and lightly sprinkled with avocado. I also pop all my usual drugs :P and drink one tall cup of water. Apart from happily watching Sunrise, 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 dishes. 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 passenger seat of Karina's car, she kindly helps me with my seatbelt and then tootles me off to the Garbo library for GCCW!
• On arrival, Karina takes me once to the loo and then I found out we're in Meeting Room Two today.
• Ten attended today and homework for next week's 'the grass keeps growing'. Tammy went with me once to the bathroom during morning tea break (I managed fine by myself) and told me that she'd brought belated birthday cake!  <3 After I'd sat back down, I asked Tammy please to gimme the BIGGEST slice of birthday cake, when suddenly Mary loudly announces around the room, "NO cake for Em!" I screech "WHAT?!" and Mary replies it's got nuts! Well thanks to Mary for remembering about my nut allergy but was I gonna sit through morning   tea and wail while everyone munched cake?? Luckily, no: Tammy had also brought madeira cake! <3 
• Homework for next meeting's 'the grass keeps growing' and we're supposed to use it as a metaphor? Nah, I'm just gonna write about that time two/three years back when dad was torching the side yard with a FLAMETHROWER!
• Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Tammy gave me the leftover madeira cake! I asked her to please cut it in two for me so I could share a slice with Karina!
• After one more loo trip, Karina filled up @ some petrol station along Logan Rd. and came out with two 600mL flavoured milks for us!
•  I tried both the chocolate and honeycomb (too sweet) then chose the chocolate while wolfing down my delicious slice of cake; Karina even lemme finish hers!
• Took a nice hot shower when I got home - hairwash today. Also thanks to Karina who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted I had a MASSIVE bowl of the tuna bake I'd cooked last Friday with Dorrie plus one mug of powdered HK-style milk tea coffee. At 1:30pm I signed Karina off with my thanks and byes; think she's back same time next week.
• We've been invited to dad's mates' place for dinner tonight, so I helped PIG mum make a green tea cake! Well she made the whole thing, but I sifted some flour and stirred the batter; that gives me the right to say I made it, doesn't it? XD
• Looking forward to ice cream tonight! XD
• Toms: Damaris is coming @ 8am and taking me to the NAB for my last two hours of physio with my really tall student; it's Fun Shirt Friday! 
• She'll see me home, showered and fed with lunch before leaving @ 2pm and then Syn will come give Ela one hour of unfunctional exercises @ 2:30pm.
• Looking forward to reading Five Perfect Strangers for one hour and fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 185TH time!
• Maybe bbl, else wishing  everyone a smashing end to their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 512d

 Good final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 4201. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• Once the news ended, I struggled into the puffer vest PIG mum had tossed me before hitting pigland upstairs, used the loo for one tinkle 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.

• When the parents summoned me for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: the less-yummy rice, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup tomato, some boiled tofu and two beef bones with most of the meat already removed.
• 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, always 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, again and always Hope everyone’s having a lovely week; Happy Hump Day, if you celebrate those kinda things~

• Toms: Karina's coming @ 8am and taking me to the Garbo library for GCCW; fingers crossed Tammy will bring belated birthday cake!! XD
• Also fingers crossed PIG mum'll let Karina buy me some lunch to eat after I come home and shower!
• Looking forward to reading Nine Perfect Strangers for one hour after enjoying my most important two hours of the day online; also hoping to watch the 6pm news for the 185TH time!
• Best of all, it's ice cream night toms night; like I always say, a very little's better than none!
• Righteo, hope  everyone's having a smashing week!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 512c

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 4137 (nice, second consecutive day I'm over four grand; that doesn't happen very often!) and secondly, Joni's devotional tropic's "Suffering According To God's Will" but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-FOUR MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• Breakfast is one bowl of delicious flaky Special covered with sliced strawberries, one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully very lightly sprinkled with salt (but I'll never understand why PIG mum sprinkles the PLATE with salt but not the toast itself 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 walked myself slowly and safely back to the bathroom, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt. She tootles us off to Underwood Park for a hike around the lake!
• Soon, it'll get too hot for walkies there but right now the Sun's lovely and warm~
• Back home, I use the loo for one tinkle and then we eat rice leftovers plus PIG mum's taro cake for lunch.
• After lunch, I take my cup over to the sink 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.
• At 1:10pm I sit over the loo for two tinkles and then @ 1:15pm, Jules takes me to play table tennis!
• Afterwards, I munched arvo tea in the carpark before climbing back into her car and happily playing mobile games while Jules got stuck in traffic on the way home. Actually, we had a terrific run home and got back around 5:20!
• Took a nice hot shower  - hairwash today. Also thanks to Julz who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, second arvo tea was one deliciously juicy orange and one huge mug of green tea.
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 184TH time. All the things I like recording are in today's first post.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 512b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for today now stands @ 3941 (so will have definitely cracked four grand before the night's out XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "Suffering According To God's Will" but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY MINUTES online after dinner tonight!! Righteo, potential final, final events for Wednesday?

• Shortly after that, 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 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.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 512

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3186 steps (ha, I'm over three grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Hope For The Worst Sinners'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Will You Be Made Whole'? and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Coincidences And God's Care' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-NINE MINUTES online after watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 184TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:35am and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep in case dearest dad got ready to leave for work one hour later!
• Instead, Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore till about 9am, when nature calls again! After 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*
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^
• P.S All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's,  read by Melissa Downes and Joel Dry) for the 184TH time: Albanese, Trump, Probyn, Canavan, Heagney, Burrows,  Rue, Moon, Geran,  Crisafulli (heard), Miles, Bleijie, Lattouf, Lantouris, Sukasari, Mam (heard), Walters, Bannerman, Todhunter, Haas (heard), Chalmers, Irw, Piotrowski, Kotoni (first name,  heard), Staggs (heard), Jakob (first name, heard), Funk(heard), Tsimpikas, Blaize (first name), Taulagi, Stokes, Berry (heard), Kirk (heard), Bird, Clifford,Javon (first name), Dayne (first name (, Zorko, Godfrey,  Swift (heard), Zahos,  Kingsley, Buddy(first name), Jennison, Franklin,  Thurston, Butler and Kohler.  Chris Kohler read the finance (1AUD = 66.23USc), Jonathan Uptin read the sports report and Garry Youngberry read the weather report from Toowoomba.  Brisbane was 12-26 today.  Brisbane tomorrow: 12-28. Mt. Gravatt toms: 11-28. 

Tuesday Post 511

 Good afternoon!  Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 5806 steps (more than half a normal person today; woot that's rare!); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Let Goods And Kindred Go'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Living Life On Life's Terms" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Saving Lives'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 3rd consecutive sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:35am and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep in case dearest dad got ready to leave for work one hour later!
• Instead, I snored happily all the way till around 9am before nature called again! After 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*
• Shortly after that, PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs and soon afterwards, 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/
• After PIG mum opens the door for Peggy @ 9:30am, Peggy knocks and opens the door before announcing "Good morning." When Daddy Bear flops a paw @ her, she next states "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
• After Peggy   returns I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who's kindly squirted some toothpaste for me.
• Teeth brushed, 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 delicious bowl of flaky Special K cereal with sliced strawberries over the top plus 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*

• Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Did a stinky unspeakable and then Peggy   tootled me out   to Breathe.
• Physio today: Six minutes walking back and forth inside the Physio gym, 2.219km bike ride, 40 leg/bar-assisted pushups, 40 v-bar cable rows, 40 leg extensions for Elf, 40 leg curls for Elf and boxing!  Winnie calculated and said I plod @ like 1.35/1.45km/hr now? Even more, she says next year she can do the 5km Bridge To Brisbane with me!! Just haveta find someone who'll push Sparkless3 for me while I'm plodding!  Winnie said use what you know so instead of walking some with the rollator then letting the person with me push me along, I'll just walk 1km with Sticky and then sit for the next 1km, etc.?
• After one loo trip (CZ258 unlocks the female cubicle and the second cubicle's an ambulant one) Peggy tootled me off to Pinelands Plaza but unfortunately, couldn't find a park until one rooad across Ho Lin  Wah! ><"
• Bought my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from Aunty Nancy and groceries from Coles. Thanks to Peggy who  lemme sit on and rest the tired legs while she took our items through the self-serve checkout; wonder why the parents won't lemme do that?
• Took a nice hot shower  when I got home - 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, lunch was my delicious crunchy pork bahn mi plus one cup o white tea; just pity Peggy couldn't find where sneaky PIG mum hid the sweetener. *sigh*
• Used loo for one tinkle and plopped online.
• Once my most important two hours of the day are up, I'll use the loo for another tinkle then eat arvo tea and wait for Lorraine to take me to Toastmasters!
• Toms: hope PIG mum's helps me up not too late and takes me for walkies somewhere before coming home for lunch else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
• Tracey's coming @ 1pm and taking me to table tennis; fingers crossed for cake! XD
• She'll see me home and showered before  leaving @ 6:30pm; I'm gonna watch  the 6pm news for the 184TH time, hopefully!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• GCCW homework sent around, I continued editing my current special blog post.

• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was one yummy little plate of sliced strawberries and one little mug of peach tea. Unsure why PIG mum keeps putting herbal teabags into the white tea with two sugars mug, but I just get the carer to switch mugs for me.

Monday Post 511

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've   been hard @ work plodding 4037 steps (sweet I'm already just over four grand; that doesn't happen very often! XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Ammunition Against Anxiety' thirdly, TWFT topic's "God's Pushing You Outta Your Comfort Zone' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Recognizing Jesus'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:45 and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep, since dad would leave for sth one hour later!
• Sure enough, @ 7:45am dearest dad comes to kiss me goodbye and leave for a morning's work @ Uncle Eddy's place. I use the pot :P again and then 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 just before noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon,  she's let   herself into my bedroom to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly  with absolutely nothing bar  the bra strap and the tee (i.e. she just lays  the tee out  for me, but  doesn't give any help   whatsoever afterwards) 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 delicious Special K with sliced strawberries over the top and one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast that I cut and spread the avocado over myself before PIG mum oddly very lightly sprinkled the PLATE (not the toast) with salt (no problems, I'll 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 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 but since he's not arrived yet, unlocks the gate wanders inside and asks his wife Jennifer for permission for us to enter first. After I use the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and come out, Ray's just arrived: good timing!
• I lie down to receive some massage and acupuncture from Ray. PIG mum's in her element yapping unceasingly @ Ray; my grateful thanks to him who always replied and kept a conversation flowing. 
• After one more tinkle, PIG mum tootled us back to Warrigal Square and I hiked every aisle @ Woolies while buying a few items. Like dad, mother won't lemme sit on the self-serve checkout machine like the carer will rest the legs. *sigh*
• Back home, I bid Bettina hello and then sat down to a lunch of rice leftovers with mostly boiled vegetables and like one strip of meat, plus two/three chunks of salmon.
• Lunch was washed down with one cup of delicious iron goddess Chinese tea; after taking the cup over to the sink, I used the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era then walked myself slowly   and safely online, always 
• Lorraine's minding me from 4-6pm; will haveta open the door for her since PIG mum's already in pigland  upstairs while dad's asleep on the sofa.
• Surely I'll FINALLY finish reading Ender's Game!
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 183RD time!
• Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm and taking me to   Breathe for physio. Presume we'll buy groceries afterwards and get my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from Pinelands Bakehouse.
• Looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online but must remember to PIG mum to gimme some RICE for arvo tea before Lorraine takes me to Toastmasters! It'll be another tiny attendance; Caitlin's already said he can't come. XD
• Not really looking forward to getting an UnHappy Meal for dinner but will let Lorraine get her plain sundae if she's been watching her food intake since I saw her last~
• Anyways, hopefully  bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,Em. ^^

Sunday Post 511c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! With a final, final plodding total of 2749 lemme just cover final, final events for tonight?

• Today I finished pg. 275 @ exactly 4pm and reached pg. 300 @ 4:53pm! Actually, I was hoping to read for one hour and finish the book but after reading for seventy minutes I still hadn't finished the book, but PIG mum said if you're not gonna shower now you'll run outta time to watch the news!
• So a nice hot shower for me - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was done after only 9% but happily leaned fully against the side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling PIG mum back.
• Once PIG mum dried the back of the chair for me, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until my bra strap needed clipping, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
• After I dried 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 182ND time. All the things I like recording are in today's first post.
• Less then fifteen minutes left, so just briefly: 
• Had our once-weekly family dinner @ Ho Lin Wah.
• Came home and returned online.
• Used loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm.
• Toms: PIG mum'll help me up, since I've a late morning appointment to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him. XD
• She's said she'll take me grocery shopping and aisle walking afterwards, so I'm expecting to have passed 1000 steps before getting home.
• Lorraine's minding me from  4-6pm. Surely, I'll FINALLY finish Ender's Game!!
• Looking forward to watching the  6pm news for the 183RD time~
• Anyways,  hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
