• After publishing the previous post, I just Facebooked. XD

• Toms: I'm gonna see Jane lots! Firstly, she's coming @ 9:30am and helping me up then staying till midday. Unsure are we going anywhere?
• Then she's coming back @ 1:30pm and taking me to table tennis! Will hopefully hear more about the Christmas party!

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 3457 (so trusting I'll have reached t3.5 grand before the night ends XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Jesus, Son Of Man'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• Once the news ended, I called out to dad, requesting he please summon me once dinner was ready.  repeating the request @ 7:36pm.
• When dad called dinner @ 7:36pm, I used the loo for one tinkle, took off my bra, 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.
• Yet another tasteless dinner: rice, lotsa boiled lettuce, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup tomato, lotsa soup onion, two small chunks of salmon and three soup bones that dad demanded I eat first.
• Dinner was spooned down with one spoonful 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 with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms else wishing everyone a smashing Wednesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

! Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Since I've not moved since publishing the previous post, lemme just continue today's events?

• Phew there's a disabled park available for us today; Peggy finds a trolley and then we both buy groceries. Vicki was the lovely checkout lady who scanned our items today~
• Our other stop was Pinelands Bakehouse, where the uncle warmed my crunchy pork  bahn mi for me.
• Back home, I use the loo for one tinkle then sit @ the gobbling :P table and enjoy my crunchy pork bahn mi plus another huge mug oof vanilla chai (sadly unsweetened) for lunch.
• Usually we leave for UQ @ 12:30pm; unsure why Peggy insisted we leave @ 12:25pm (oh, she said the traffic was really bad but turned out fine) but after arrival had a whole quarter-HOUR to play mobile since I don't head into the building until 12:50pm.
• Physio with Tam today: Standing reaching for Era with left and forward weightshift,  stepping for Erf with left and forward weightshift,  twenty double leg squats on tower of power for both legs and thirty single leg squats on tower of power for Elf.
• After sitting over the loo for one tinkle, Peggy tootled me home and I took a nice warm shower -  hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was one deliciously juicy pear, one plain cracker with one slice of cheese on the top and one more big mug of vanilla chai without any sweetener.
• Happiness was reading the book club novel for one hour; today I finished pg. 100 @ 3:56pm and finished pg. 111 @ 4:44pm. At 4pm I signed Peggy off with my thanks and byes; she's back same time next week.
• Used the loo for one tinkle, plopped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 229TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post. Was pissed when dad reneged on his promise to take me out for dinner tonight since I'd apparently not met some other requirement of his. >< *sigh*
• Toms: Jane's minding me all day toms! Her first shift's from 9:30am till midday but then she's coming back  @ 1:30, taking me to play table tennis and seeing me home and showered before leaving @ 6:30.
  
• When she leaves @ 6:30pm I'll use the loo once more for two  tinkles then  be seated with BYO dinner waiting for David's pickup to GG for  Bible study.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 626

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3192 steps (ha, I'm over three grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Change Is Possible'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Create A Peaceful Atmosphere' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Living With Jesus' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR online should I  get  to watch the 6pm news bulletin tonight!! Anyways, events for today

• Nature called once partway  through the night; 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*
• Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking around 9am for the pot :P around 9am.
• Since Peggy was arriving @ 9:30am, shortly before that dad lets himself into my room, kisses me good morning and gives me some eye goo.
• After dad opens the door for Peggy @ 9:30am, he knocks, opens the door and goes "Hi, Em..." I wave Mini Pearl @ him.  When dad next says, "Peggy arrive now," I nod Mini Pearl @ her, too. Peggy laughs and says fifteen more minutes, okay." This time, Mini Pearl nods then flicks his body 'shoo'. Peggy smirks and wisely withdraws; phew, since Mini Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
• When Peggy returns, I use the pot :P for one tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy 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 Peggy, who told me that she had her usual two hardboiled eggs for breakfast.
• For me, breakfast was one bowl of healthy cereal with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread with avocado and lightly sprinkled with toast, one full cup of water, all my usual drugs :P and one delicious mug of vanilla chai, sadly without any sweetener. 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 my face and hands with sunscreen   before accompanying me back to the bathroom then 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 us off to Pinelands Plaza. Thanks to her who  helped me  buckle my seatbelt all day.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S.  All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's, read by Melissa Fownes and Joel Dry) for the 229TH time: Heagney, Loersch, Prior, Greer, Mountbatten-Windsor, Becker (heard), Epstein, Ralph, Prior, Geran, Bleijie, Todhunter, Katoa, Khawaja (heard), Haig, Bowles (heard), Cullen, Bavas, Watson, D'Alessandro, Pearson,  Keys (heard), Sabalenka (heard), Medvedev (heard), Nicholls, Lawson (heard), Wong, Haig, Morton, Swinbourne (heard), Wen, Ariana (first name), Grande, Sauvage, Norris, Verstappen, Piastri, Popovich, Diaz (heard), Djodan, Green, Carey (heard), Byran, Zaiter, Lancaster, Conway, Bach, Cuneen, Albanese, Clare, Wood, Croucher, Miller, Tai, Kingsley, McKim, Tehan and Zahos.

Brisbane toms:  19-28. Mt. Gravatt toms: 47-27.  Sunrise: 4:46am Sunset: 6:20pm

• After publishing the previous post, I had twenty-five minutes to happily play match three games! Not that I passed anymore levels. XD
• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till 4pm. After helping me up, we'll buy groceries from Pinelands Coles plus my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse. Will try asking Peggy to ask dad may I please get a Vietnamese iced coffee for lunch tooA; 'twas really hot yesterday!
• After coming home for lunch, @ 12:15pm Peggy will tootle me off to the NAB for physio with Tam/Athena.
• Peggy will see me home and showered before leaving @ 4pm; I'm hoping to read the book club novel for one hour and then watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 229TH time!

• Once the news ended, I called out to dad, requesting he summon me over for dinner once it was ready.
• I repeated the reminder @ 7:15pm and 7:30pm; when dad finally summoned me over for dinner @ 7:42pm 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: rice, lotsa boiled lettuce, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup potato, two pieces of fried salmon and two soup bones that had small amounts of very soft meat to suck.
• 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.

• Lorraine actually arrived two minutes early but she stayed outside with dad making small talk before coming inside @ 4pm, just when I made my way into the bathroom.

• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo  tea was one deliciously juicy pear, two plain crackers and one more huge mug of delicious vanilla chai, although sadly without any sweetener.
• Happiness was reading the book club novel for one hour (today I reached page seventy-five @ 4:51pm and it takes me three minutes to read one page in this book) then having around twenty-five minutes to play Bejeweled-type games. Achievement of the day: I passed one Squishmallow level! XD
• At 5:55pm I sat over the loo once more for two tinkles before signing Lorraine off with my thanks and byes. Since Toastmasters isn't happening toms night, I'll not see her again until same time next Monday.
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin for the 228TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.

Monday Post 626

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3270 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic' from last night's "When I'm Anxious"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Prepare For The Next Phase' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Christ-Based Connection'. Anyways, events for today?

• Nature called once @ 12:35am; 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*
• Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking for another pot :P trip around 9am, shortly before dearest dad comes to kiss me good morning and gimme some eye goo.
• After dad lets Kelly inside @ 9:30am, Kelly/dad knocks, opens the door and says good morning. Mini Pearl nods good morning back and then gives the 'shoo' motion. Kelly laughs and says I'll come back fifteen minutes later and help yoou up, okay? Mini Pearl repeats the nod and shoo motion and Kelly thankfully withdraws; phew, since Mini Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
• When Kelly returns, I use the loo for one more tinkle and we get me kitted, before I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table with Kelly, who tells me she ate Vegemite toast for breakfast, eww. XD
• For my breakfast, I have one bowl of 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 delicious mug of vanilla chai sweetened with only half a teaspoonful of sugar. I'd prefer two teaspoonfuls, but hey. 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, Kelly slathers my face and hands with sunscreen before walking behind me back to the toilet then 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 Kelly's car and she tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Thanks to Kelly who kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt all day.
• Ray collects me @ the front gate and we tell Kelly  cya in one hour. Inside the granny flat, I use the loo for one tinkle and then lie down for some massage and acupuncture. Today was the first time Elf's thigh felt that the massage was very comfortable; 'twas also very nice getting to have a proper conversation with him without PIG mum yapping her head off @ him. XD Next month, his family's taking holidays @ New Zealand's South Island!
• After using the loo for another tinkle, Ray walked with me back out to where Kelly was waiting and I said my thanks and byes.
• Our other stop was Sunnybank Hills for buying groceries @ ALDI. Kelly parked across the road along level two and got a trolley for us. I walked with her down the length of the supermarket then braced against the end freezer shelf and asked Kelly to please go find where the groceries and then come back and take me to get them. While she was gone, I softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, closing the left eye for all the important number, since I wouldn't need to sing during the shower later.
• Groceries bought, Kelly tootled me home and I took a nice warm shower -  hairwash today. Also thanks to Kelly who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted lunch was one bowl of tasteless rice leftovers all covered with boiled vegetables and just one tiny piece of delicious pork @ the bottom but yay Kelly made me another big mug of delicious vanilla chai with milk~
• At 1:25pm I sat over the loo once more for two tinkles and then @ 1:30pm I signed Kelly off with my thanks and byes. She's back this Sunday.
• Lorraine's minding me from 4-6pm today. Looking forward to reading the book club novel for another hour and fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 228TH time afterwards!
• Actually, unsure: will Angelica come 3:45pm till 5:45pm/Lorraine from 4-6pm? Doesn't bother me; as long as somebody comes! XD
• Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till 4pm. Presume we're buying my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi for lunch before Peggy takes me to the NAB for physio from 1-2.
• Peggy will see me home and showered before leaving @ 4pm; looking forward to reading the book club novel for another hour and then watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 229TH time!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 626d

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 4950. Aww, excuse the fact that I can't be bothered getting up and plodding fifty more steps to reach half a normal person today. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• Mia grabbed a trolley for us before we bought groceries from ALDI. For some reason, ALL the self-serve checkouts were card only?
• Then Mia and I went to Underwood MarketPlace for drinks @ Moomi tea! Dad was funny, saying I could only add pearls to the tee I was drinking and wasn't allowed to add extra cookie. Solution? Order a COOKIE milk tea and add pearls! XD Mia drank some kinda flavoured Yakult frappé. The avocado one sounds really odd! XD
• Back home I took a nice warm shower -  hairwash today. Also thanks to Mia who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was one yummy banana, TWO plain crackers and one delicious mug of white tea sweetened with two sugars. Happiness was reading the book club novel for one hour; reaching page fifty @ 4:29pm. This book's bigger than last months; it takes me three minutes to read one page.
• After reading for one hour I used the loo for one tinkle, plopped online and started watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's). All the things I like recording are in today's second post. Kelly massaged Ela for twenty minutes; when dad got home @ 6:11pm, he immediately signed her off and shooed her away.
• After I'd finished watching the 6pm news bulletin I called out and ask dad, dinnertime yet? Not yet, dad replied.  I waited fifteen more minutes and asked again; this time dad replied yup let's go.
• I used the loo for one tinkle, climbed into the backseat of dads' car and buckled my own seatbelt. Dad tootled us off to Ho Lin Wah and found a park across the road.
• Icky one set meal was curry; instead, dad ordered the other (beef in tomato sauce with rice) and a chow kway tiew. I had almost (but not quite) one bowl of rice, almost (but not quite again) half a bowl of ho fan, drank 1/3 the set soup, one cup of Chinese tea and only one mouthful of the warm HK-style milk tea. 
• Back home, I walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• 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: Kelly's minding me from 9:30am till 1:30pm and taking me to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Perhaps expect a super-pissy plodding total from me, since dad said there weren't any groceries that needed buying afterwards but hopefully, he'll change his mind.
  Two hours after Kelly leaves, Angelica's minding me from 3:45pm till 5pm. Looking forward to reading the book club novel for one hour and hoping to watch the 6pm news for the 228TH time afterwards!
• Anyways, wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 636c

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 4813 (so won't quite make half a normal person tonight, sorry XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'In Who's Life Do You Live?' Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle then plopped online awaiting Kelly's arrival.
• She came @ 1:30pm; unsure why dad demanded we wait till 2pm before leaving? No biggie~
• After using the loo for one tinkle, I climbed into the passenger seat of Kelly's car, she kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt (as she also kindly did coming back) and then she tootled us off to the ALDI behind Underwood MarketPlace. Think she lives bayside (not southside like me, anyway) but I managed to give her proper directions there. Only the carpark was PACKED; unsure if it's like that every Sunday arvo?
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 636b

 Heylo again, good afternoon again and potentially one final greeting for today! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 4191. Sweet, I'm over four grand; that doesn't happen very often! XD Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• Breakfast finished, Kelly 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 passenger seat of Kelly's car, she kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt then tootles me off to church, parking outside the hall. I hike up the ramp, use the loo for one tinkle and then sign Kelly off with my thanks and byes. She's back toms @ 9:30am.
• Yay, I get to stay seated for worship today! I sing everything, plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Dr. Lee; his sermon was from the Sermon On The Mount series and service ended fourteen minutes early today.
• After using the loo for one tinkle and grabbing a packet of bikkies from the morning tea table, I sat outside the service hall and munched my two bikkies. Thanks to dad for a paper cup of tea but I doubt he added any sugar to it ... *sigh*
• While everyone else shared lunch @ Rice Paper, dad made me eat Hungry Jack's with him. Suppose I should feel lucky that I had a Whopper Junior (not a cheeseburger) and twelve/sixteen chips! XD
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news (Nine's, read by Mia Glover) for the 227TH time: Miller, Van Lunteren, Francis, Wiseman, Felten, Joyce, Dammeto, Croucher, Edward, Millward, Kearsley, Trump, Green (heard), Epstein, Green, Crisafulli, Duniam, Fowler, Booth, Billie (first name), Reilly, Ryan, Cosgriff, Balmer, Cooper, Payne, Littleproud, Butler, Wood (heard), Birrell, Poate, Hazlewood (heard), Cummins (heard),  Djodan (heard), Lomax, Kay, Todhunter, Klinge,  Whitlock, Doggett, Sinner, Feeney, Mantovani, Buck, Hansen, Schmidt, Zahos (heard), Bennett, Dalton, Blanchett, Pearlstein, Sussan (first name), and Youngberry.

Sunday Post 636

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2334 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Fighting Words'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Get Back On Track' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Counting The Cost' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed SEVEN MINUTES online after Mia minds me until 6:30pm!!! Anyways, events for today

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:10am and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• When dad comes and gives me some eye goo, he says fifteen more minutes now, but you can have five more minutes after Kelly arrives. After dad heads back outside to await her arrival, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle then climb back into bed and await Kelly's arrival.
• After Kelly arrives, she knocks, opens the door and says good morning. When I nod Mini Pearl @ her, she says I'll come back and help you up in five minutes, okay? Another nod from Mini Pearl and she wisely removes herself; phew, since Mini Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! 
• After she comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Kelly.
• Breakfast is one bowl of healthy cereal with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt, one tall cup of water, all my usual drugs :P and thanks to Kelly for a huge mug of white tea although pity she can't find where dad's hidden the sugar. *sigh*
  
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 626c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 1943. Sorry, not quite two grand. XD Maybe toms! Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• Obviously, I came last/second-last again.  *cringe* But Shubi was such a sweetheart; she'd bought me a little packet of chocolates! I had the Crunchie one immediately~
• Once the day ended Denise invited Sharon and me back to the lunch place for afternoon tea and dinner but unfortunately, we had to decline since Sharon needed to get me home and showered before leaving @ 5pm! Never mind; delighted with the lunch I enjoyed out today and already wondering when my next proper meal's coming!
• So a nice warm shower for me - hairwash  today. Also thanks to Sharon who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was one huge banana, two plain crackers and two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar, score!
• Only thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Dad shooed Sharon away twenty minutes early. I happily read the book club novel for one hour, finishing page twenty-five @ 4:03pm.
• Used loo for one tinkle, plopped online @ watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 226TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• At 7pm, I used the loo for one tinkle, had the usual dinner with dad, drank soup, took the bowl to the sink, returned online, used the loo once more @ 9pm and returned online again.
• Toms: hmm, Michelle never told me who's helping me up toms @ 7:30am ... well, somebody had better come!
•  Resigned to lunch with dad again @ Hungry Jack's after ESS but hopefully when Kelly minds me from 1:30pm till 6:30pm dad'll lemme buy another bubble tea before coming home for a shower.
• Also hoping we'll have dinner together out together toms night! Really enjoyed my meal out today; wonder when the next one will come? Potentially not till the 2nd Tuesday next month for our Toastmasters breakup Christmas party but hopefully not that long!
• Anyways, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 626b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 1743 (so yay I'm over 1.5 ground but doubt I'll reach two grand before tonight ends XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Party Spoiler'. Anyways, continuing today's events?

• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Sharon's car, she kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt (as she kindly does both ways) then tootles us off to 4EB!
• We make good time and find the building without problem, score! Only the building looks pretty small ... classroom size? 
• Also, the disabled toilet seat's loose; when Sharon wiped it down for me, the whole seat nearly fell off! Hence why Sharon said just sit straight down and pee; don't move. XD I've messaged the Story Bridge Hotel and asked them to please stick it back down. XD
• The conference took so long to start I asked Sharon please to take me to the loo once more first!
• Some guest speaker gave a test speech about his first job working in radio and then the first comp was evaluated immediately! I kept a running commentary for PIG mum~
• Then the humourous speech contest was hilarious!
• When we broke for lunch, YA @ QUT all headed down to the Story Bridge hotel but only Sharon and I went inside to eat; unsure where all the others went.
• Too bad the lunch special was lamb, eww! Instead, Sharon ordered a hamburger, and I ordered a roast chicken gravy roll, which came with chips! After we found a table outside, Sharon went to get table water for us, and I told the parents our lunch.
• But our meals took a while before arriving, so after Sharon snapped my lunch photo for me, we headed back into 4EB.
• While waiting inside I started munching my delicious roast chicken with gravy roll. After the contestants were all ordered out, I continued eating, since I'd drawn to compete last!
• When 'twas finally my turn, the contest chair asked me several questions before saying the topic: if you could change one thing in this world, what? I immediately answered get rid of my disability; what I would give to be whole again! Then I diverted into talking about chocolate and world domination but remembered to get off once the yellow light came on.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 626

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1452 steps (not bad, considering I've used Sparkless3 nearly all day); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Marvel Of Creation'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Speak 'Life' (2)" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Singing Scriptures' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm  really still owed ONE  HOUR and TWENTY-THREE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 226TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Originally, I was too excited about the Toastmasters conference today and couldn't fall asleep so already used the pot :P for one tinkle before midnight  since I'd not fallen asleep  yet; Mini Pearl offered to knock me unconscious but I  told him PIG mum would get cross @ him and erase all his pearls so instead Mini Pearl just sweetly sang me too sleep.  XD
• I was awake but not awake enough to know that I was awake when dearest dad came to gimme some eye goo @ 7:15am, saying fifteen more minutes now and you can have ten more minutes after Sharon arrives before getting up.
• Sharon came and said ten more minutes after I'd counted down  the initial fifteen more minutes; I spend that time 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*
• When she comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Surprise! I've not seen Sharon for a while (she's only twenty-six but doing her Masters in IT) but she remembered to bring me a tall cup of water! After drinking that I sit over the loo and do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and 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 head out to the gobbling :P table with Sharon. Breakfast's my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast cut into two rectangles with a smear of avocado and my first big mug of white tea, sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar. Over breakfast, 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!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 626d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final,  final plodding total for Friday now stands at 6033. Ha, I'm just over six grand.  XD J Righteo,  final,  final events for tonight?

- When nature suddenly called at 8:35pm,  I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back,  always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 

-Then YouTube offered me the full match replay of last Sunday 's final match between the Kangaroos and England! Almost finished watching the first half!

-Toms: an early start! Dad will give me fifteen more minutes at 7:15am and once Sharon arrives I'm up,  since she's taking me to the toastmasters conference and I am competing in the Table Topics! Obviously I will either come last or second last . XD But looking forward to enjoying lunch out; yesterday marked one whole WEEK since I last enjoyed a proper meal out! But probably expect a super-pissy plodding total from me. 

-Righteo,  hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!

Cheers, 

Em. ^^

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 5942 (so trusting I'll have reached six grand before the night's out XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Breath Of Life'.  Anyways, continuing today's events?

• After the news ended, I called out to dad to please summon me once dinner was ready then read and shared the She Reads Truth devotional before reading and sharing some Facebook memories.
• When dad summoned me over for dinner @ 7:10pm I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely over to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Dinner tonight:  rice,  lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup onion, lotsa soup pawpaw, three slices of disgusting eggplant (I ate one then donated the other two to dad when he went to get some soup for me XD) and one chunk of pork. Food pyramid imbalance, maybe? Originally dad told me toms I could get a burger for lunch but then he changed his mind and said get a chicken wrap? 
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Righteo, hopefully bbl   after one  last loo   trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding  total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms else wishing   everyone a smashing  weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em.    ^^

Friday Post 626b

 Good afternoon again and potentially one final greeting for today! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 5902. Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• After publishing the first post, I started reading and sharing my Facebook memories.
• Precisely two hours after I started the most important two hours of my day online I used the loo for one tinkle then sat @ the gobbling :P table to start reading the new book club book for one hour, asking dad for some  arvo tea please.
• Unsure why dad chopped off the head of the banana, but the two plain crackers were nice as was the huge mug of vanilla chai but sadly 'twas without sweetener. Must remember to tell PIG mum to let dad know where she's hidden the sweetener for my tea tomorrow!
• It's really pathetic how slowly I read now; after reading for one hour, I hadn't even read twenty-five pages! >< *sigh*
• One more tinkle for me before returning online~
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 626

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 5474 steps (am more than half a normal person today and will have cracked 5500 before today ends meaning I can record the number in my Larger Totals file, cool!  XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Do Not Harden Your Heart'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Speak 'Life (1)'" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Waiting For God'. Anyways, events for today?

• Nature  called once around 12:30am (I prolly  had too much fun yesterday XD); 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*
• Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P around 9am. Around 9:25am, dearest dad lets himself into my room to kiss me good morning and gimme some eye goo.
• After dearest dad lets Jane in, Jane knocks, pushes the door open and calls good morning. When I nod Mini Pearl @ her, she says I'll come help you up in fifteen minutes, okay?" Mini Pearl nods again and she thankfully removes herself; phew, since Mini Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
• When Jane 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, before sitting over the loo  for one tinkle,  washing  and  drying Era and then heading out to   the gobbling :P table with Jane, who tells me that she had a breakfast smoothie for her morning meal today.
• Huh, how come dad didn't tell Jane I get Weet-Bix for breakfast when I've got physio and not just bird food? But Jane made me one big mug of white tea too; the only pity was that dad hadn't told her where she'd hidden the sugar/honey! >< *sigh* 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, Jane smothers my face and both hands with sunscreen, accompanies me back to   the bathroom then returns to the kitchen and washed up the breakfast stuff. 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 Jane's car, and she tootles me off to see Winnie for physio. Thanks to Jane who kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt all day/

• Physio today: Twenty laps room walking, 2.864km bike ride, 40 bar-assisted pushups, 40 steps for Erf with left weight shift ,36 v-cable rows for both hands, 40 leg curls for Elf, 40 leg extensions for Elf, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing! Plus nine minutes of massage with the theragun. I'm just getting stressed since I'm already @ 95.5hrs of physio today and willm prolly exceed 100 hours before the year finishes! ><  *sigh*

• After we both used the bathroom (CZ258 unlocks the ladies' bathroom and the second cubicle's an ambulant one; I used that while Jane used the normal one besides me), Jane tootled us off to the  Rochedale Coles, grabbed us  a trolley then we bought groceries before heading home.

• Took a nice warm shower -  hairwash today. Also thanks to Jane 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 yummy bowl of fried rice leftovers (thanks to Jane who   added some oyster sauce for me) plus another big mug of white tea without sweetener.

• Before I used the loo once more for two tinkles @ 1:55pm, dad suddenly rang and said Dorrie can't come since she's sick! o_O Hence why Jane helped me remove the bra when I sat once more over the loo before I signed her off with my thanks and byes @ 2pm. She's back next Wednesday, morning and afternoon!

• Once she left, some guy rang from My Rehab Team saying Dorrie will rebook a session after she's better. I've already told PIG mum and dearest dad's home~

• Once I've used up the most important two hours of the day I'll use the loo for one tinkle, sit @ the gobbling :P table and start reading the new book club novel for one hour!  Jane already helped me find the book this arvo~

• Toms: Sharon's minding me from 7:30am till 5pm; she's taking me to attend and compete in some Toastmasters conference! Obviously, I'll not win; I've only gotta speak for 1-2 minutes! Mostly I'm just looking forward to lunch @ the Story Bridge Hotel; the last time I enjoyed a proper meal out was Wednesday! (Not two days ago but one WEEK and two days ago)

• But expect a super-pissy plodding total from me, since I'm expecting I'll be using Sparkless3 and obviously won't have time to play table tennis @ church with dearest dad~

• Ooh, but since Sharon leaves @ 5pm, hopefully I can watch the 6pm news for the 225TH time!

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

Thursday Post 626c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3834. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• Book club ended eleven minutes early tonight; when Jules originally came back and fetched me, I said we're sitting here till book club ends @ 7:30pm since your shift doesn't end till 8pm but she was like please go to the loo now and lemme leave once you get home since I've still got one more shift after you. Lol, fair enough~
• I feel loved: baba waited for me to eat dinner together! Just leftover fried rice from last night smothered with a blanket of boiled lettuce and choko.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• 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: Jane's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm and taking me to Breathe for physio.  I'm just grumpy since it's another longer session. ><

Thursday Post 626b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3732 (so yay I'm over 3.5 grand but won't hit 4000 tonight, sorry XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Our Advocate'. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• Once I'd used up the most important two hours of the day, I used the loo for one tinkle and then sat down to read for one hour, hoping to finish the Kylie Chan novel! Dad tossed me one banana, TWO plain crackers and one delicious mug of bol lei Chinese tea.
• At 5:25pm I went to sit over the loo for two tinkles before Jules arrived but when she arrived early, I'd only just done one tinkle! Still, dad DEMANDED I come out NOW; lol, he was so eager to get me off to book club he forgot to gimme my library card and last month's book to return! XD
• At the library I visited the loo   for one tinkle then entered the meeting room; obviously I was the first to   arrive!  But the man and his wife came back; he's called Lindsay and is actually a DOCTOR since he's got a PhD in linguistics!
• Nine attended tonight but poor Erika was away unwell! o_O I immediately sent her a get well soon e-mail and she's already replied! The librarian kindly made me one cup of white tea with two sugars and while she couldn't find a large print version of this month's book for me, it looks interesting and the main character's Jewish!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 625d

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 4351. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa icky bitter vegetable, lotsa dearest dad's home-grown choko, two   tasteless slices of chicken, two little [ieces of scrambled egg and two small slices of luncheon ham. Dad annoyingly demanded I eat his 'correct' way again; I complied by taking one tiny nibble of meat, eating one grain of rice then stuffing my mouth full of vegetables meaning I still had some best for last. XD
• Dinner was spooned down with half a bowl of soup; after taking the bowl back 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 rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: Mia's back toms morning @ 9:30am. We'll buy groceries from Pinelands Coles plus my weekly crunchy pork  bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse, come home for lunch   then @ 12:15/30pm Mia will drive me to the NAB for physio with Tam and Athena.
• She'll see me home and showered before leaving @ 4pm; 1.5 hours after that Lorraine's taking me to Toastmasters; must remember to ask dad to gimme some rice for arvo  tea!!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing   day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Monday Post 625c

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 4235 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Numbering Your Days'. Anyways, continuing today's events?

• After using the loo for one tinkle, I lay down for some acupuncture and massage from Ray. Again, 'twas nice to share a conversation with him: Ray said sth  and I replied, usually it's just PIG mum going yap  yap yap, Ray going uh huh, PIG mum going yap yap yap again and me just not bothering to join in! XD
• After using the loo for one more tinkle Ray escorted me back out; good, the rain had stopped~
• Our other trip was to Calamvale Square. Mia parked underground, grabbed a trolley for us and we both bought groceries from Woolies.
• Back home I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Mia who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, Mia made me one yummy tomato and onion toastie with TWO slices of cheese and another big mug of white tea with one spoonful of syrup. At 2pm, I signed her off with my thanks and byes; she's back toms morning 9:30am till like 4pm and taking me to physio but first she's got a shift @ the Royal Children's Hospital first!
• After I finished lunch I took   my bowl over to the sink, used the loo for one tinkle and plopped online, saying bye and thanks to Bettina when she left four minutes early.
• When Angelica announced her arrival exactly @ 3:45pm 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 warm 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, I've forgotten what  arvo tea was (prolly some fruit) since Angelica made me TWO big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey!
• Happily read Blue Dragon for one hour, reaching pg. 500 @ 4:43pm before having nearly thirty minutes to play Royal Match and Squishmallows Bejeweled; not that I passed any levels! XD
• Used the loo for two more tinkles @ 4:40pm then signed Angelica off with my thanks and byes. Unsure when she's back next but she's off for her salsa dancing class now!
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 224TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• When dad summoned me over for dinner @ 7:23pm, 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.
  Cheers,

Monday Post 625b

 Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for today!  Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 4046 (sweet, I'm just over four grand for the 2nd consecutive day!) but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed THREE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 224TH time!! Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• Once I'm kitted, I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth while Mia goes and gets some breakfast ready 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 Mia.
• Breakfast was one bowl of the less yummy (so sticky) bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) 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, Mia accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing up   my breakfast stuff. 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 Mia's car and she tootles me off to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Thanks to her who kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt all day.
• Mia's just  pulled into Ray's strret when  it starts  raining! I go eep  sorry I forgot to  bring an umbrella but Mia goes don't worry I've got one  in  the backseat and guess what? Ray actually comes out with an umbrella to escort me in! Mia decides to  just wait in  the  car.

Monday Post 625

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3392 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last might's "Marvelling @ The End Of History'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Know The 'Season' You're In" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'A God-Fearing  Woman' but fifthly   and way most importantly, I'm  really still owed FIFTEEN MINUTES online after Angelica minds me  from 3:45pm till 5:45pm!! Anyways, events for today?

• Nature called around 12:30am; 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*
• Nature calls again just before 9:30am; when the new carer announces her arrival, I bang the door for dad but he's outside and doesn't hear me! 
• Luckily, it's only a few minutes before dad comes back inside; upon hearing the sliding door open I bang the wall again and call dad she's arrived, but you were outside! Dad hurries down the hallway calling "Coming!" and phew, the carer's still outside~
• Dad knocks, opens the door and says hi, Em ... I nod Mini Pearl @ him and dad next says Mia's here now. I nod Mini Pearl @ her too. Dad laughs and says fifteen more minutes, okay? Mini Pearl gives a third nod then gives the 'shoo' motion; dad laughs and tells Mia lemme show you around.
• When Mia returns, I sit up, say good morning and use the loo for one more tinkle. While we're getting me kitted for the day, Mia tells me that she's actually a registered nurse @ the Royal Children's hospital and she's got a shift there this arvo  after leaving my place @ 1:30! She's only twenty-two and lives northside~
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Sunday Post 625d

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 4721. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I did my weekly file backup since I'd clean forgotten to do that after showering this arvo!
• 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: Michelle emailed me back on Wednesday that Mia's minding me Monday and Tuesday? Don't know who Mia is, I thought Peggy was coming Tuesday and how come Angelica's down for Monday 3:45pm till 5:45pm? Wait, Peggy's having holidays Tuesday! Then just unsure should I   shower with Mia (who's taking me to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage, maybe?)/will Angelica come toms arvo  and supervise the shower?
• Think I'm seeing Ray for some acupuncture and massage; hopefully dad'll lemme grocery shop afterwards else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
• Looking forward to my most important two hours of the day, reading for one hour and watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 224TH time!
• Righteo,  hope  everyone has a  smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 4622 (sweet I'm not only over four grand I'm even over 4.5 grand; that's rare!) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "God's Prerogative". Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• After the news ended I called out to dad asking dinnertime yet?  When dad replied yes, I used the loo for one tinkle, climbed into the backseat of his car and buckled my own seatbelt.
• But both set meals from Ho Lin Wah tonight were yucky for me! Dad ordered one set meal for himself and ordered me the 'fu yong darn farn' (say that in Canto), although he lemme  eat less than 1.5 bowls before taking the rest home for lunch toms. I also drank one cup of Chinese tea, 1/3 the set soup and just over one mouthful of the HK-style hot milk tea.
• Back home I walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Anyways, hopefully brb after one last loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for  today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for today! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3894. Ooh, fingers crossed I'll have hit four grand by day's end! Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• Kelly arrived @ 1:30pm; unsure why dad insisted we wait till 2/3pm before leaving? Doesn't matter~
• After one tinkle I climbed into the passenger seat of Kelly's car and she tootled us off to Underwood MarketPlace although it took a while to find where ALDI was! XD
• She grabbed a trolley for us and we bought groceries from ALDI (their self-serve checkouts were all card only?) before ducking next door and buying one bag of oranges from Yuen's fruit market. It started spitting very slightly when we left
• Not far: the bubble tea place was only round the corner! I pointed out the free upsize sign to Kelly (she kindly grabbed a trolley for us even without my asking) when we headed inside; she immediately pointed out the finer print I hadn't noticed: only Monday and Tuesday! Wonder what my chances are of persuading Mina to get us one toms? XD
• Got home for a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Kelly who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo  tea was that cheeseburger dad had bought from Hungry Jack's during lunch plus one huge mug of yummy earl grey tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey. While Kelly cleaned the bathroom then kindly helped tidy the house some (like Bettina, she's with Provide Another Mother!) I happily read Blue Dragon for one hour, finishing pg. 444 @ 3:50pm, reaching pg. 450 @ 4:52pm and finishing pg. 475 @ 5:01pm
• Used the loo for one tinkle and then plopped online.
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 223RD time!
• Toms:  Michelle emailed saying Mia's looking after me toms and Tuesday? But usually, Peggy does Tuesday and my roster says Angelica's coming? Perhaps Mia's helping for the morning and Angelica the afternoon.  Can't remember will I see Ray toms/Thursday.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's, read by Mia Glover) for the 223RD time: Heagney (heard), Todhunter, Croucher, Tehan, Bragg, Quinlan, Dezi (heard, first name), Freeman (heard), Crisafulli, Becker, Volodymyr (first name, Zelensky, Waller, Burgess, Harrison, Croxford, Learoyd, Gillespie, Trump (heard), Kearsley, Jeffries, Burrows, Nicholls, Piastri, Norris (heard), Djodan, Schmidt, Anderson, Southwell (heard), Jakob (first  name, heard)(,  Funk (heard), Gill, Sutherland, Khawaja (heard), Green (heard),  Boland (heard), Piakura (heard), Iro, Foran, Haas, Weidler, Munster, Dalton and Youngberry.

Sunday Post 625

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2144 steps (ha, I'm over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'We Honour What We Enjoy'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'You Will Never Be Perfect Enough (2)' and thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Radical Mission' but fourthly and way most importantly, I'm really still  owed FOURTEEN MINUTES online Kelly minds me this arvo!! Anyways, events for today?

• Aww, my awesome sleep streak  ended around 2am this morning when nature  called (I'd grumpily sung  myself to sleep  upon  hearing the parents wouldn't lemme out  for lunch with other ESS people since it's been  TWO  MONTHS since I last had lunch out  with everyone else *sigh*) but  doesn't matter; hopefully I'll start another one immediately) and following another pot :P trip after 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*.Actually, since PIG mum’s overseas holidaying, I’m using the time to recharge my mental batteries and prepare for another year with her @ the helm! XD

• Nature calls once more before Jane announces her arrival; after fifteen more minutes I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table with Jane, who tells me she's not had breakfast yet since after she drops me off @ church, she's having brunch with her partner somewhere!
• For my breakfast, I get one bowl of bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly sprinkled with salt 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.

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, Jane slaters me with sunscreen then accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing up the breakfast stuff. 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 Jane's car, and she tootles me off to church. Thanks to Jane who kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt. At church, after turning into the parking lot, I wind down the window and say to the parking usher, "Good morning uncle; my carer will just drop me off then leave"; he waves us forward. At the end of the concrete path, I point @ the ramp further down in the grass to some other parking usher uncle and again get the wave to   continue.
• Jane accompanies me up the ramp and takes me to the loo for one tinkle. I sign her off with my thanks and byes @ 8:58am; she's back 1:30pm Wednesday and taking me to table tennis!
• Service started promptly and yay, I got to stay seated for worship. I sang everything, plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was someone from City Bible Forum called Scott; his sermon was about Jonah.
• After service ended seventeen minutes early, dad picked me up; I used the loo myself for one tinkle, grabbed one packet of bikkies and then sat outside the service hall. Dad brought me over one cup of coffee (not tea? But no depresso, since I've had expresso today XD) but nicked half my scotch finger biscuit! ><  *hmph*
• Everyone else enjoyed lunch together from Zen  Flavours @ Sunnybank Plaza but dad made me have lunch with him @ Hungry Jack's again.  >< I ate a junior Whopper, ten chips, drank some orange juice, took two slurps of dad's frozen Coke and two sips of the disgusting free coffee. 
• Back home, I 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.
• Kelly's minding me now till 6:30pm; hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,

Saturday Post 625c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 6201. Anyways, 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. Actually, dad was mean and wouldn't pass me the home phone since I always ring Aunty Lai every Saturday @ 9:45pm meaning I had to get it myself. *sigh*

• Toms:  Jane's coming @ 7:30am and helping me up, then taking me to church. Her shift doesn't end till 9:30am but she's lucky and gets to leave thirty minutes early and still get two hours pay.

• Will hopefully share lunch with other ESS people; unsure why dad decided I'm only allowed to join for lunch once every TWO MONTHS while he and PIG mum get to enjoy morning/arvo tea out with their mates EVERY WEEK but tomorrow's the day; hope someone chooses somewhere delicious with copious amounts of good food!

• Kelly's minding me from 1:30pm till 6:30pm; unsure how late lunch will go to but if I'm not home by 1:30pm I'll just ring CODA on-call and tell Kelly to stay in the car and wait for me. She can still leave @ 6:30pm, obviously; I just need a shower!

• Unsure will dad take us out for dinner together toms night?

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

Saturday Post 625b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 5935 (so will have hopefully reached 6000 before Saturday ends) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "God's Will For Your Life'. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• After using up the most important two hours of my day, I used the loo for one tinkle and then sat to read Blue Dragon; it's only Saturdays that I can spend a blessed three hours reading~
• Dad passed me the delicious honey chicken sushi roll I'd bought with Jane earlier plus one huge mug of green tea. While reading, I finished pg. 350 @ 4:48pm, reached pg.  375 @ 5:27pm, reached pg.  400 @ exactly 6:05pm and reached pg. 425 @ exactly 6:35. This book's only small (if thick); it takes me two minutes to read one page
• After using the loo for one tinkle, I plopped online and happily watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 222ND (nice number, eh?  XD)

• All the interesting  surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news (Nine’s,  read by Mia Glover) for the 222^ND  time: Jiselle (first name), Manning, Brokhof, Vitaly (first  name), Geran, Hussain, Fentiman, Burrows,  Richardson, Hawke (heard),  Keating (heard), Rivkin (heard), Konstas (heard),Djodan, Cummins (heard), Hazelwood),Rahn (first name), Hooper, Robinson,  Jiselle (first name), Manning, Minns, Copp (heard),  Quoincy (first name), Dodd, Tamika (first  name, heard), Uptin (heard),Crichton,Langer (heard)Nolan (first name), North, Combs, Pride, Smylie,Norris, Piastri,Zahra (heard),Waller (heard),Balme, Trump, Kearsley, Duffy, Foran,Weidler (heard),Lambetsos, Myers, Repacholi, Heagney and Stolz. Alice Stolz read the finance report, Adam Jackson read the sports report and Luke Bradnam read the weather report from Southport. Brisbane was 17-29. Brisbane toms: 22-27. Mt.   Gravatt toms: 21-26. Sunrise: 4:51am Sunset 6:12pm

  
  

• Once the news finished, I asked dad may I please come over for dinner; permission given, 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.

• Hopefully I'll have enjoyed one bowl of the fried rice that Dorrie and I   cooked yesterday! Dad smothered the rice with so much yummy cabbage, soup carrot, soup potato and soup tomato I'm unsure how much fried rice there was! XD

• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, 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 Sunday, else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!

• Cheers,

Saturday Post 625

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 5204 steps (sweet I'm already more than half a normal person; that's rare!); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "Is God's Love Conditional?"; thirdly, TWFT topic's "You Will Never Be Perfect Enough (1)" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Continual Praise to God'. Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo,  9th 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*
• Having misplaced Mini Pearl during the night (he prolly rolled outta bed himself, the messy sleeper XD) I happily snore, waking again for the pot :P around 8:30am. After a second tinkle, 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*
• When dearest dad opens the door for Jane @ 9:30am, she knocks, pushes open the bedroom door and bids me good morning.  When I nod Mini Pearl @ her, she says I'll come get you up after fifteen more minutes, okay? Mini Pearl nods again and phew; Jane removes herself. Phew since Mini Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
• Only when Jane dares to return forty-one seconds too early, Mini Pearl loudly protests "Forty-one more seconds!" I'm sure I didn't fall back asleep today! Jane just laughs and replies I'll give you one more minute, okay? Well, I only needed forty-one more seconds; after that was up, I announced "Jane, I'm hungry" and swung myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle.
• After we got me kitted, I headed over to the bathroom and brushed teeth. That done, I drank one tall cup of water then sat over the loo proper. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 

• After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Jane, screeching @ dad this morning was my fried egg day, and I wasn't having bird food!  XD
• Breakfast is my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast, another full cup of water, all my usual drugs :P and my first big mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey. Over and after breakfast, I happily read for thirty minutes first up.
• Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Hiked Underwood Park then bought groceries from Woolies Underwood MarketPlace.
• Took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Jane who rinsed out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was one delicious bowl of the fried rice I'd cooked with Dorrie yesterday plus two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey.
• Sat over the loo for two more tinkles @ 1:55pm then signed Jane off with my thanks and byes @ 2pm. She's back toms @ 7:30am to help me up and take me to church but will need to ring on-call and find out who's coming 1:30pm till 6:30pm.
• Once  I've used up my most important two hours of  the day online I'll use the loo for one tinkle, sit @ the gobbling :P table and munch my  arvo tea sushi and read all arvo;  it's only Saturdays that I  can spend a blessed three hours reading~
• Toms:  Jane's helping me up @ 7:45am (she'll arrive 7:45am and take me to church. The shift ends @ 9:30am but since she's already declined my invite to stay for ESS I'll sign her off before 9am.
• Will haveta ring CODA on-call and ask who's minding me from 1:30pm till 6:30pm coz the roster still says TBA.
• Also, will dad take us out for dinner together afterwards?
• Anyways, hopefully  bbl  else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
