Thursday Post 566d

 Good afternoon again and potentially one final greeting for today! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 1092 (ha, I'm just over one grand XD) but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-SIX MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 1st time!! Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• Breakfast is one bowl of healthy cereal with all my usual drugs :P and one full   mug of water. Over breakfast,  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 Lily Greer) for the 1st time: Rawlings, Cavallaro, Geran, Campbell, Kennedy, Copp, Edwards, Djodan  (heard), Albanese, Stroja, D'Alessandro, Goss (heard)ngerth,  Frans (first name), Hobday, Duncan, Scott, Trump, Khawaja,  Kerr (heard), Tomasi, Hunt, Ruddock, Hill, Borbidge, Downer.

 Good afternoon and take two: firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding only 706 steps (since I've used Sparkless3); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Death Rehearsal'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Make Prayer Your First Priority' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Can We Live Forever? but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-FIVE MINUTES online should the carer not arrive @ 4pm and PIG mum orders I shower @ 4:10pm!! Anyways, events for today?

• Lol, January the 1st's the only time I'll accept an awesome night's sleep after hitting the sack after midnight! Nature didn't call until 7:40am, and after one pot :P  trip I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P around 98am, shortly 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 help 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 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 566d

 Good evening again and definitely one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 1938. Sorry, not quite two grand; sometime next year, I promise! XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• When PIG mum called she'd finished clearing my upstairs bed for my usage, I replied to thanks; be there soon and quickly finished the previous post.
• After hauling myself upstairs, I first visited the end spare room with the sofa bed that mother sleeps in now and took a quick lie down.
• Then I visited Aunty A's room (so called since she chose the room colour but has never slept there XD) before bidding greetings to the upstairs alarm consol outside the parents' room; unsure why I kept remembering 'twas located inside their walk-in wardrobe?
• After going into and out of the walk-in wardrobe then visiting the parents' upstairs unused upstairs bathroom, I had a quick lie down on dearest dad's qeen-sized bed before going to the prettiest room in the whole house: mine! Two DECADES ago, when we first moved in, my dearest dad painted a feature wall blue for me, after I'd griped @ him why was EVERYYTHING (the outside walls, the inside walls, the tiles and the carpet) grey; this house was gonna gimme depression! While PIG mum cleaned up around the area, I lay on my upstairs bed and silently   told the cruel and unfaithful God how much I still hated him plus my hopes for 2026. Oh, my first twenty years post won't be twenty years of brain injury but twenty years living here!
• After visiting my upstairs loo for one more tinkle then washing Era in the bathroom next door, I hugged the rail back downstairs then returned online to type this post.
• Which leaves me about one hour to compose and publish my reflections for 2025!
• Toms:  HAPPY  2026!! Hope PIG mum helps me up before 9:15am and also hope dearest dad takes mother and I somewhere, although I'm unsure what's open come Jan. the first?
• PIG mum also vaguely recalls I've got support toms although I thought I didn't get support over public holidays? Maybe she'll lemme ring On-Call toms and ask~
• Anyways, cya all next year!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 566c

 Good evening and probably one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's probable final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 1702 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Take Inventory'. Anyways, probable final, final events for tonight?

• After the news ended, I used the loo for one more tinkle and then dad tootled PIG mum and I down to the Glen Hotel for NYE dinner! 
• PIG mum then dearest dad went inside to find seats for us; while they were both gone I softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 30% of my newest second-favourite song out aloud, closing the right eye for all the important numbers.
•  Dad came back and lemme use Sparkless3 to get inside, phew; we even bumped into our old neighbours Uncle Alan and Aunty Emily!
• Only high  tables  were available but  @ least there were backrests.
• For dinner we shared a burger and a pizza, but no rice. *fret*
• Then we went  outside and watched the kids' fireworks @ 9pm; they  went  for five minutes.  My  favoourite was the one where a stream of light shot straight into the air then exploded into  a dazzling firework!
• Leaving, we bumped  into Uncle Allan again!
• Back home, I used the loo for one more tinkle then plopped online to  write this post.
• Heading upstairs now to   visit the second stoey then will come back downstairs to write my  reflections for 2025; maybe cya once more  tonight but if not, happy  NYE!
• Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Wednesday Post 566b

 Heylo again, good afternoon again and potentially one final greeting for Wednesday! Em's potential final, final plodding total for today now stands @ 1306. Righteo, final events for Wednesday?

• After publishing the previous post, and reading and sharing my  Facebook  memories, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat @ the gobbling :P table to read Adam Reynolds' memoirs for one hour and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea.
• Dearest dad shared his delicious mango with mew! I also munched one plain cracker and drank one huge mug of green tea. While reading Adam Reynolds' memoirs for one hour, forgetting when I reached pg. 222 but reaching pg. 225 @ 4:42pm.
• One more tinkle for me before returning online.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S.

Wednesday Post 566

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1054 steps (ha, I'm just over one grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Outfitted And Empowered'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Learn To Delegate' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Resolving To Do Less'.  Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo,  what  better way to  end 2025  then with my  11TH consecutive awesome sleep last night? , Like the past   two  days, 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*
• Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once for the pot :P around 7:45am and once more around 9am, shortly 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 before returning outside   and awaiting Esabel's arrival @ 9:30am.
• Once PIG mum lets Esabel in, she tells Esabel to gimme fifteen more minutes. Mini Pearls nods @ her and then waves her away; after Esabel 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. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table with Esabel, rousing @ her for not eating any breakfast this morning and informing her that she'd better buy herself some breakfast (and me second breakfast XD) when we went out later.  XD
• Breakfast is one bowl of healthy cereal with 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, Esabel smothers my face and both arms with sunscreen then accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast dishes up. 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 Esabel's car, and she tootles us off to buy groceries from Woolies @ Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown. Maybe NYE explains why the shops were packed and all the disabled parks were taken? Indeed, Esabel didn't find a park until practically the other end!

• But the nicest way to end 2025: WINDOWSHOPPING! :D Since I'm walking with some pain right now, but dad wouldn't lemme use Sparkless3 yesterday (and obviously I wasn't  gonna tell Fiona that walking every step hurt while she had C1 and C2 in tow!) PIG mum thankfully lemme use Sparkless3 to buy groceries from Coles and Woolies; I even popped into Daiso with Esabel and practised reading katakana while Esabel bought fake eyelashes!

• Less than twenty minutes left, so just briefly:

• Came home, showered and had lunch.

• Esabel left two minutes early, immediately after the parents arrived home.

• Once I've used up the most important two hours of   my   day online, I'll use the loo for one tinkle then sit and read Adam Reynolds' memoirs for one hour and wait for PIG mum to wake from her long arvo nap and come downstairs to gimme some arvo tea.

• Wonder will I watch the 6pm news for the 247TH time/will dad take us down to the Glen Hotel to watch the little kiddies' fireworks?

• Will hike upstairs just after 9pm and visit my upstairs bedroom before coming down and writing my reflections for 2025!

• So maybe bbl,  else cya all next year!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 566c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 5946. Sorry, not quite 6000; next year, perhaps? XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I continued composing my special blog post about Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day; it's due tonight!
• At 9pm, I walked myself slowly and safely once more to the loo for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Must finish my Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day post tonight since toms I've gotta compose my reflections for 2025!
• Toms: it's NYE! The roster says Esabel from Staffing Options will mind me from 9:30am till 2pm but PIG mum's already changed that back to 1pm? 
• Unsure will dad invite Aunty Yvonne and Uncle Stephen/the Slams/whoever over for NYE but toms night I'm hiking upstairs and visiting my upstairs bedroom before coming downstairs, writing my reflections for 2025 and staying up to welcome in 2026!
• Anyways, hope everyone enjoys the final day for 2025 toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 566b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 5845 (so won't quite reach 600 before the night's out sorry XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "In God's Eyes". Righteo,  continuing tonight's events?

• Over breakfast, 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 breakfast, Peggy slathers my face and hands with sunscreen, accompanies me to   the bathroom then returns to the kitchen and washes the breakfast things up.  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 Peggy's car and she tootles us down to buy groceries from the Woolies @ Warrigal  Square. Yay there's a disabled park outside the store waiting for us; after Peggy grabs a trolley, we both buy groceries, and see? Peggy lets me sit on the self-serve checkout while she scans our items! Dunno why the parents refuse?
• Back home, I take my quickest shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, I sit over the loo for one tinkle while Peggy cleans the bathroom and then it's back into Auto (pronounced Alto) - time to meet Fiona and bubs for lunch @ Lucky Cafe!
• It takes awhile before Peggy finds parking for us; coming outta the lift pushing the trolley with her; the first thing I see dearest dad sitting @ Ru Yi -  he's enjoying lunch with Aunty Vera, Uncle Man and PIG mum!
• Lucky Cafe's packed; I leave my number then sit by the elevator and wait - Fi arrives with bubs and we don't get a table until a good forty-five minutes later!
• Score the B meal suits perfectly; pork chop with garlic and tomato sauce! Yay for a proper fresh (not powdered) HK-style milk tea; just wondering why they don't serve mocha? The A meal was sth  yucky  with black bean.
• After lunch, web hike back to Fi's car and she tootles us back to Snow Witch (on top floor, Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown) for bingsu! I enjoy an Oreo cookie one, C1 and C2 share a mango one and Fiona ducks into Coles and buys groceries before sitting back down and just chatting together~
• When they drop me back home, I introduce them all to MEGA! A tinkle for me, (after C2) before plopping online and watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 246TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• When PIG mum summons me to dinner @ 7:23pm, I use the loo for one tinkle then walk myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Dinner tonight obviously wasn't as nice as lunch, but the black fungus was yummy!
• Dinner was washed down with one delicious mug of iron goddess tea after which I walked myself slowly and safely online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• 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 final day for 2025!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 566

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 5659 steps today (ooh I'm more than half a normal   person today; what an awesome way to end the year!); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'A Horrible Destiny'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Give Your Children Confidence' and fourthly,  Our Daily   Bread's devotional topic's "Go's Faithful Love" but fifthly   and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm  news bulletin (Nine's) for the 246TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 10TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Just too bad I'll not get the chance to try reach the 25TH time this year I've managed one entire week of awesome sleeps because tomorrow's already NYE! XD  Like  yesterday, 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*

•  Mini Pearl and I happily cuddled and snored, me waking once again for the pot :P around 7:45am and once more just after 9am, shortly before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Peggy's arrival.

• After PIG mum opens the front door for Peggy, Peggy knocks the bedroom door, opens it and announces, "Good morning." When I nod Mini Pearl back @ her, she next announces "Fifteen more minutes." Another nod from Mini Pearl and Peggy wisely removes herself; phew, since Mini Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD

• When Peggy returns it's not quite 900 seconds yet, hence why I ignore her greeting until I've counted down the full fifteen minutes. XD While using the pot: p for one more tinkle we shared how we'd spent Christmas then after getting me kitted I went over to the bathroom and brushed teeth. Thanks to Peggy who's squirted me some toothpaste.

• Teeth   brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Peggy, who tells me that she had her usual two fried eggs for breakfast today.

• For me, breakfast is one bowl of healthy cereal with all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. 
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^
  P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news (Nine's, read by Lily Greer) for the 246TH time: Heagney, Curley, Acchi, Mickelberg, Dametto, Shannon (heard), Stream, Maguire, Gates (heard), Reynolds, Purdie, Arevo  (heard), Ayodele, Ghani, Cunneen, Joshua (heard), Heath (first  name), Buffett, McQueen, Fraser, Wardle, Tomasi, Zelenskyy (heard), Scott, Green (heard),  Labuschagne (heard), Ruud,  de Minaur (heard), Kasatkina, Bradman, Sabalenka, Tremain, Kuhenmann, Stokes, Djodan (heard), Khawaja, Netanyahu, Trump (heard) Albanese, Makenna (first name), Baily, Barrett, Packer (heard), Whitefield, Gasso, Jackson,  Faraimo, Webster,  Wade, Copp, Popyrin (heard), Tsimpikas (heard), Akram  (heard), Todhunter and Youngberry. 1AUD = 67USc, Bronte Gildea read the sports report and Garry Youngberry read the weather report from Main Beach.

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2330. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I found dome Josh Groban Christmas carols to listen too; he's such a good singer~
• 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 9:30am till 2pm toms Unsure where PIG mum's sending us grocery shopping (or will she @ all, considering the broken AFO) and 9i'm coming home for a shower then meeting Fiona and bubs for our belated Christmas/once termly lunch! Mostly I'm hoping PIG mum'll lemme use Sparkless3 since walking with a broken AFO rather hurts ... >< 
• Excitement: Fi's said we can have bingsu for dessert @ Snow Witch afterwards! 
• No plans after Fiona drops me home; looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online, reading   Adam Reynolds' memoirs for one hour then watching the 6pm news for the 246TH time!
• Must finish my special blog post toms about Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day, since the day after's NYE and I've gotta write reflections for 2025!

  Good evening again! Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2266. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• When the parents summoned me over for dinner @ 7:16pm, I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Dinner tonight:  rice, lotsa I've forgotten which vegetable (soup carrot, maybe?) a few little slices of Chinese mushrooms from Costco, a little tomato pork mince and two/three little chunks of    delicious chicken.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl online I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2053 (ha, I'm just over two grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "I Have Resolved". Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• When Lorraine announced her arrival two minutes late, thanks to  PIG mum  who let her  in, thus saving me from a potentially dangerous trip to  the front  door myself. I immediately got offline and started heading into  the bathroom myself; whwn Lorraine came into view I bid  her  good afternoon then groused @  her why couldn't you come  on time?? It's the last time I*'m seeing you for  2025! Lorraine  screeched back I arrived early! But   then CODA  rang and offered me another shift! Lol, fine~
  Cheers,

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1690 steps (ha, I'm over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "Glory's The Goal"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Quitters Never Win, Winners Never Quit' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Joyful Resilience'. Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 9th consecutive 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*
• Nature called again around 7:45am and once more around 9am, just before 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 and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum 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 healthy cereal with 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, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the loo, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car. The boot gives one almighty CRACK when I swing into the car but I pay that no heed since it's been making funny noises ever since I pushed myself to walk faster than normal and hurt myself.

• At Ray's, I get outta the car and start walking into  Ray's place but only reach the passenger seat before informing PIG mum that Elf really hurts?? She takes a quick looksee and screeches your AFO's broken!!  She then immediately offers to cancel my appointment to see Ray and take me home, but I say don't bother; I'm lying down @ Ray's anyway.

• Huge thanks to Ray who immediately tries to fix my boot for me with some padding and also walks out with me to PIG mum's car holding onto Ela; unfortunately, Elf's inversion's much stronger than his padding and walking hurt. >< 

• Back home I'm allowed to use Sparkless3, score!

• Lunch was two tiny slices of oven-baked pizza and one delicious mug of iron goddess Chinese tea.

• After lunch I use the loo for one tinkle (awkward but manageable) then plop online.

• Unfortunately, dad's already done a temporary fix and I'm not using Sparkless3 anymore. *sigh* But walking without pain, yay!

• Lorraine's minding me from 4-6pm. Presuming that's the final time I'm seeing her for 2025; hope she's not late!

• Hoping to read Adam Reynolds' memoirs for one hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 245TH time!
  Cheers,

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3595. See? Told you I'd pass 3.5 grand! XD  Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• Reading for one hour done, I took a nice warm shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was all done after only 11% but happily leaned fully against the right-side rail and watered myself for   another tinkle before tapping the nice warm water off and calling PIG mum back.
• Since she'll not even dry my back anymore, after PIG mum dried the back of the seat for me, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until the bra strap needed doing up, 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 244TH time. All the things I like recording are in today's second post.
• Less than  twenty minutes left,  so just  briefly:
• Ho Lin Wah's closed till  next  year but  so's Woka Underwood  and Malay  House; we ended up having dinner @ So Moon, the Korean fried chicken   restaurant that had RUN OUTTA Korean   fried chicken already! >< 
• Got home, returned online then used  the loo  for one more  tinkle  @ 9pm.
• Toms: Ray's back, so  seeing him    for some acupuncture and massage.  Bet PIG mum's simply  DYING to yap unceasingly @ him.
• Hopefully she'll take me grocery shopping  and aisle walking  before coming home for lunch, else expect a super-pissy  plodding total from me.
• Lorraine's minding me from   4-6pm;  looking forward to  reading Adam  Reybolds' memoirs for one hour then watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 245TH time once she leaves!
• Righteo, wishing   everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

• Once I'd used up the most important two hours of the day, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat @ the gobbling :P table to read Adam Reynold's memoirs for one hour, asking PIG mum to please gimme some arvo tea,
• I peeled and ate one yummy banana, munched one plain cracker and happily read for one hour, finishing pg. 125 @ 4:12pm and reaching pg. 150 @ 4:42pm, exactly thirty minutes later!

Sunday Post 566

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2430 steps (so promise I'll have cracked 2.5 grand before Sunday ends XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "What's Your Aim?"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Are You Confused About Your Calling? (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily   Bread's devotional topic's 'Hearts Transformed By God'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 8th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6am and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since I knew PIG mum would prolly get very noisy one hour later! 
• Instead, I fell so deeply back asleep with Mini Pearl that I didn't wake until PIG mum let herself into my room to hit me with   the eye goo and not only but I also a FOOD DREAM!!! For my 5th food dream this year, I'm lining up in the downstairs Garbo food court for a chicken  katsudon!! :D
• PIG mum hit me with the eye goo and helped 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.
• Breakfast is one bowl of home brand Coco Pops (called Cocoa Puffs since they don't pop) with   all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of   water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast I walk myself slowly and safely back to the loo, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying   Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day).  PIG mum tootles us off to church and parks outside our service hall. I hike up the ramp, use the second cubicle of the normal ladies' loo for one tinkle (since both the disabled loo and the first cubicle of the ladies' loo have lids down but horrid PIG mum won't life them for me) myself, wash and dry both hands then grab the most left seat inside our air-conditioned service hall.
• Yay I get to stay seated for our last worship session for 2025! Dr. Lee leads; I sing everything plus the harmony for four songs but like every other week meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Pastor Peter Pie; his sermon topic was How To React To Sinners and there was communion afterwards.
• Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly: everyone else shared lunch @ Market Square food court but   dad made me eat   Hungry jack's again and I only got eight not even ten. *sigh* At least he  lemme  choose a burger; I had the tropical fried chicken! Pineapple rocks~
• Came home, used loo for one tinkle then plopped online.
• Toms: PIG mum should help me up, since I think I'm seeing Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Bet she's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD
• Hope she takes me grocery shopping afterwards before coming home for lunch else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
• Looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online before Lorraine minds me from 4-6.
• Hoping to watch the 6pm news for the 244TH time!
• Haveta write my special blog post about how I spent Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Saturday Post 566c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4866. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I started reading and sharing my Facebook memories.
• At   9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one 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:  just church, definitely nothing special. Well, the special thing's that it's the last Sunday for 2025!
• It's actually FINALLY my turn to enjoy lunch out with other ESS peers but PIG mum says no, since I'm meeting up with Fi for lunch come NY Eve?! WTF has that to do with it??
• Anyways,  looking   forward to   seeing    everyone  @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Saturday Post 566b

Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4744 (sweet I'm even over 4.5 grand: that's even less common than four grand! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Having More Than The Angels'. Righteo, continuing today's events?

• Lol I have opened too many windows and the computer 🖥 has frozen on me! XD But noting down that Sharon helped me up, tok me to Underwood MarketPlace to buy sushi for arvo tea (but the place was closed so instead I bought a fake long cream and jam donut from My Slice), got home and showered,  drank two more big mugs 🍺 of white tea sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar and had rice leftovers for lunch (thanks to Sharon who added a spoonful of oyster sauce for me) and played table tennis 🏓 with dad at church before coming home to read two more hours; have read for three hours today,  woot!
• Watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 243RD time (all the things I like recording are at the bottom of the previous post) and had dinner with PIG mum; she fried us an egg to share!
• Lol the computer 🖥 just made a sound so I hope it's unfrozen itself; hopefully bbl after one last tinkle at 9pm with my final,  final plodding total for today,  the final,  final events for tonight plus what's happening Sunday else looking forward to seeing everyone at church tomorrow!
• Cheers, 
• Em. ^^

 

Saturday Post 566

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4409 steps (sweet I'm over four grand; that doesn't happen too often!); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'How To Contemplate Calamity'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Are You   Confused About Your Calling (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Our Loving  Rescuer' but  fifthly and way most importantly,  I'm  really still owed ONE HOUR and THREE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm  news bulletin for  the 243RD time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 7th consecutive awesome sleep last night; that's the 24TH time this year that I've achieved one straight week of awesome sleeps and pity that the year ends before I've got chance to try for   a 25th! XD
• Nature didn't call until 4:55am  (my  favourite thing  about Summer's prolly how early the Sun rises!) and after one pot :P  trip I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• After nature called again around 7:45am (the time dearest dad used to leave for work) 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*
• Mini Pearl   and I    happily  cuddle  and snore,  me waking once more for the pot :P  around 9:15am, shortly  before PIG  mum  begins her daily noisy  a-THUMPING around  upstairs.  Soon,  she's let herself into  -bbl!

Friday Post 566d

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 1826.  See, told you I'd crack 1.5 grand!  XD Righteo, just briefly, final, final events for tonight?

• Did a stinky unspeakable and them climbed into the car.  Phew, dad put Sparkless3 into the boot; I presumed we'd hit Westfield Carindale for our once-yearly trip!
• Instead, we  spent  the Boxing  Day  Sales @ Capalaba Park! I bought  a new book (so  PIG mum  IMMEDIATELY said she'll  not     lemme  buy    books from  the Lifeline  Bookfest  now but  she'd better lemme visit  come June!! ><  *sigh*),  dearest dad a psir of  slippers and PIG mum  some tops,  I think.
• Got  home, used loo for one tinkle  and plopped online.
• Ate  arvo  tea,  showered  and had dinner.
• Returned online but  dad got me  to  head back to the gobbling :P  table and call  PIG mum;  he'd  prepared a birthday  chocolate muffin  from Costco! Only   the fan  blew out  the lit  candle  and    once relit  and birthday song sung,  PIG mum went    to  blow out  the candle  and MISSED! Me:    ROFL!!  XD
• Opened birthday  presents! :D 
• Used loo for  one more tinkle then returned online.
• Toms: Lorraine's minding me 9:30am till   1pm  toms. Buying stuff from  Underwood Marketplace  then  coming home for a shower and lunch.
• Looking   forward to  playing  table tennis with  dearest   dad and planning   to  spend all arvo  reading: found the Adam Reynolds  memoirs I   bought from uncle  Barry   and  Aunty Janis;  will  skip  watching the   6pm   news bulletin   for  the 243RD time for  that! Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing  weekend ahead!
  Cheers,

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for tonight now stands @ 1490 (so must have cracked 1.5 grand before the night ends and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Day After'. Anyways, continuing Friday's events?

•  Aww, after the AWESOME Christmas breakfast of COCO POPS (home brand, but still! XD) breakfast was disappointing: one bowl of healthy cereal, 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?

 Heylo  again, good afternoon again and potentially one final greeting for today! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 1321 but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY-FIVE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 242ND time!! Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am shortly    before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and I'm amazed: after PIG mum strokes my face to waken me, once I open my eyes she immediately says brightly, "Merry Christmas!" I immediately sit up, give her a great big hug and sing her the happy birthday song, tossing Mini Pearl into the air for the hip hips!
• PIG mum hits me with the eye goo and helps exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum returns to finish 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.

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1002 steps (ha, I'm just over one grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic's from last night's 'Three Christmas Presents'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Let Your Life Make A Difference' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Eyes Opened By God' but  fifthly and way most importantly, I'm  really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-ONE MINUTES online afterwards!! Anyways, events for today?

•  Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like the  past   two  days,   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.

Thursday Post 566f

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total now stands @ exactly3000.  Nice number, eh?   Actually, 'twas 2984 but that pissed me off so much I got   up and plodded sixteen more steps to reach 3000. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• Happily  watched  the 6pm  news (Nine's)  for  the 241ST  time. All  the things I  like  recording  are in today's 4th post. The  major  disappointment  was that  the  parents started dinner without me @ 6:41pm;   for goodness sakes, today's CHRISTMAS!  *sigh*
• I  joined after the news ended; rather than a special Christmas dinner we had the less-yummy  rice with lunch  leftovers.
• Less than  thirty minutes left,   so  just  briefly:
• Drank  soup,  took  bowl   to  sink,  returned online and  used loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm.
• Toms: Boxing   Day  and PIG mum's BIRTHDAY!!  Fingers crossed dad'll take us  to  Westfield   Carindale  for  the   Boxing Day  sales and lemme use Sparkless3! Expect a super-pissy plodding total,  if  that's the   case.
• Unsure  has dad invited anyone over for dinner  toms night  for  PIG mum's birthday but toms night  after dinner I'm gonna open my Christmas presents!
• Righteo, hope   everyone  has a smashing   end to   their week   toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S.  Tee  hee I've managed SIX posts toonight; that's  even  rarer than five! XD

Thursday Post 566e

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2875 (so unsure will I've reached 3000 before Christmas Day ends) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Step Outside'. Anyways, continuing today's events?

• 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.
• A fancy special breakfast for CHRISTMAS:  COCO POPS! Well, the cheap home brand version of them (Cocoa Puffs) hence why they   didn't snap, crackle nor pop but CHOCOLATE FOR BREAKFAST can't be wrong!! XD I also pop   all my usual drugs :P and drain one full mug of water, and over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast I walk myself slowly and safely back to the toilet, 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, PIG mum tootles me off to church for the Canto   Christmas service.  After using the loo for one tinkle, I was willing to hike up    the   several steps to the little room behind the hall, but the parents demanded that I enter the main hall and sit on the most right, even   though I usually prefer to sit on the most left because of the left hemianopia?

• Doesn't matter. Apart from  harmonising with the Christian Christmas carols I didn't take part in the service, instead happily playing the HP version of Bejeweled.   XD

• Once service ended, we went home. I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

   

• Shortly afterwards, we went to the Slams residence for Christmas lunch, and I made sure to wear my Santa hat, since obviously PIG mum wouldn't lemme  wear it this morning!

• Aunty A came too, even though she's still feeling the side effects of the shingles vaccine from yesterday, poor thing~

• Crackers with cream cheese and sliced salmon   and mini spring rolls for entree (I peeled off the salmon for dad XD) and barely half a bowl of rice for Christmas lunch?  Enjoyed several of Anna's yummy little pork ribs and a slice/two of Dad's duck~ Drank ginger beer! 

• Thanks to PIG mum who walked behind me twice to the loo; I managed fine by myself.

• For dessert, PIG mum made a delicious cheesecake! After Uncle Slam got seconds, I finished my slice I asked please could I have another slice too but she was mean and refused. *sigh* Doesn't matter; I just kept happily playing the HP version of Bejeweled~

• When we all left, I took a seat in Aunty A's new car! Obviously just the backseat but I asked her can you please take Anna and mother and me to the beach again??

• 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.

• Around 4pm I asked PIG mum could I please have arvo tea and shower yet? She said yes, so I headed over to the gobbling :P table.

• Arvo tea was one yummy banana, one flavoured rice cracker and one delicious mug of iron goddess Chinese tea.

• Took one of my long showers - I washed and rinsed my own hair today.  Also sang 15% of my shorter second-favourite song slowly but most hatefully aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.

• I had one tinkle before I flipped the nice warm water off and called PIG mum back; since she won't even help me dry my back anymore after she dried the back of the seat for me, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.

• After I dried the loo seat I sat for one tinkle, stamped both feet dry, dried inside both ears, washed   and dried Era then walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^
  P.S. Tee hee, I've already published FIVE posts; that doesn't usually happen Thursdays!

Thursday Post 566d

 Good afternoon again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2710 but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-FOUR MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 241ST time!!   Righteo, continuing today's events?

• Instead, I fell back sleep again so deeply that I didn't wake until PIG mum let herself into my room! I remembered to say, 'good morning' first and felt very loved when she immediately replied with "Merry Christmas!"
• PIG mum hit me with the eye goo, I quickly used the pot :P for one more tinkle then she helped me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
  Cheers,
  Em.   ^^

Thursday Post 566c

 Good afternoon and potentially one final greeting for today! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2287. Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• Only I fell so deeply back asleep with Mini Pearl that I remained comatose through her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs and didn't wake until she let herself into my room and hit me with the eye goo! Since today was Thursday, I remembered to say good morning first but felt very loved when PIG mum immediately replied with Merry Christmas!
• PIG mum hit me with the eye goo and helped 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.

Thursday Post 566b

 Heylo again, good morning again and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I get to post online before midday.  XD Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1165 steps (ha, I'm over one grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Two Purposes For Christmas'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Finding God In The Ordinary!' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread devotional topic's 'Jesus, The Greatest Gift' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still  owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-SIX MINUTES online after getting home from Christmas lunch with the Slams!!  Anyways, events for today?

• Aww, what better way to begin CHRISTMAS than with my 5th consecutive awesome sleep? Nature didn't call until 6:10am and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since I knew PIG mum would get noisy really soon! 
  Cheers,
  Em.   ^^

Wednesday Post 566b

 Heylo again, good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 4376 (ooh I'm over four grand for the second consecutive day, sweet!) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's Christmas  In The Stable. But just noting down that my  last    Christmas party  @ Peter Pie's place was AWESOME! Dr. Lee picked me  up  around  4pm and then  we  played confusing   games  and  took  photos before sitting down  for   a sumptuous dinner A  quick loo trip before the service and I ended  the  night  with   some mango pudding; also   met  Raina again; she's only  starting year  eleven next year and did you know: psychology's a HIGH SCHOOL SUBJECT now! Tomorrow's  CHRISTMAS! Attending  the CM  service  with the parents then  having lunch  @ the Slams! Perhaps expect   a super-pissy  plodding total from  me? Righteo,  hope  everyone's having a smashing week!

Cheers,
Em.  ^^

Wednesday Post 566

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2662 steps (ha, I'm over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "God's Indescribable Gift"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'This Christmas, Reach Out To Someone' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'From Fight To Delight'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 4th 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*
• Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more around 9am for the pot :P   shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, PIG mum's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor   Elf a very   brief rub   since she's totally ignored my poor foot for the LAST CONSECUTIVE ELEVEN DAYS! >< That's alright, Era rubbed Elf for fifteen minutes and let her wear her sock to sleep last although obviously peeled the sock off first thing this morning! XD
• Suddenly CODA rings and says Jane can't come since her car's broken down! ><  PIG mum immediately helps me up; while I'm brushing teeth they ring again and say Catherine from Staffing Options can come 10am till 1:30pm, phew.
• 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 was one bowl of the less-so sticky) bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) with all my 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* Also, after breakfast I write out a Christmas card for Catherine!
• When she announces her arrival three minutes late, PIG mum answers the door. I follow immediately behind with her Christmas card! Then I enter the bathroom   and sit over the loo. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I sit outside my room and Catherline slathers both arms and my face with sunscreen before she tootles me off to Warrigal Square Woolies to buy   groceries and enjoy the air con. Only it's Christmas Eve and all the carparks outside Woolies are taken! But phew, Catherine finds one outside Ichida and grabs a trolley for us.
• Today we only bought the groceries PIG mum was after and didn't hike every aisle since I can't walk right now without some pain.  ><  *sigh*
• Got home and took a nice warm shower - hairwash  today.  Also thanks to Catherine who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch is one tuna in tomato and onion  toastie  with   TWO cheese and one huge mug of delicious vanilla chai; only pity being that Catherine couldn't find where the sneaky parents had hidden the sweetener! *sigh*
• Catherine's shift ends @ 1:30pm; @ 1:25pm I went to sit once more over the loo for two   tinkles, but she immediately left early after the parents arrived home since she's got a shift after me. She's working public holidays, too!
• Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day I'll sit @ the gobbling :P table and ask PIG mum please for some arvo tea then sit over the loo for two tinkles @ 3:55pm since Dr.  Lee's coming @ 4pm and taking me to my last Christmas party @ BCAC coz it's Christmas Eve already!
• Toms: it's CHRISTMAS!!  Meaning we'll haveta attend service then afterwards we've been invited to the Slams!  Perhaps expect a super-pissy plodding total from me?
• Anyways, hope everyone's having   a smashing week!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 265c

 Good evening again! Em's new plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 5340. Anyways, just briefly, continuing today's events?

• Eep Woka 360 doesn't serve mocha anymore! Also, their set meals today had prawn, yuck! Well, 'twas Christmas and I'm feeling like celebration: crumbed chicken cutlet in white sauce baked rice for me with a HK-style coffee milk tea for me; Pastor Grace also shouted me two little deep-fried taro balls for entree! I signed Peggy off with my thanks, byes and Merry Christmases @ 2pm, I actually slid outta the seat, stood and gave her a big hug! Think she's back next Tuesday; it's still 2025!
• After lunch, I hiked all the way down to Binggo for bingsu! We didn't sit inside the shop proper but there's a little undercover area and the chairs have backrests.
• I ordered a Biscoff/Oreo  bingsu? The Lungs shared a strawberry/mango one.  Seems like bingsu's fluffier/creamier than shaved ice?
  Cheers,
  Em.   ^^

Tuesday Post 265b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 5254 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'What Child Is This' continuing today's events?

• Mini :P around 7:45am   and again around 9am, just before noisy PIG mum begins her usual 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's ignored my poor foot EVERY NIGHT for the previous EIGHT nights!  >< Never mind, Era rubbed Elf for fifteen minutes and let her wear her sock to sleep last night   although obviously peeled it off first thing this morning! XD
• Anyways, today, just very briefly:
• Peggy helped me up @ 9:45am and took me to Pinelands Coles to buy groceries (I gave the Christmas card to Vicki!) but the Pinelands Bakehouse has already closed till 2025!
• Came home and showered my fastest - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, Peggy tootled me off to Market Square to meet the Lungs for Christmas lunch! Only   she refused to park inside the undercover parking  since it   said paid  but mother  didn't   leave her any  money  for parking so  she  parked  across the road and I  crossed two busy   streets and went up  one elevator  before  walking a distance and finally finding them!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Like yesterday, nature  didn't  call until   6:20am  and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*

• After publishing the previous post, I was gonna play the HP version of Bejeweled for fifteen minutes but realised I'd not shared all my Facebook memories yet!
• 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 9:30am till 2pm. We're gonna buy a crunchy pork bahn mi from Pinelands Bakehouse since I wanna give all the bakers a Christmas card but then I'm having Christmas lunch with all three Lungs and then we're going for shaved ice afterwards!! :D
• Don't have any plans for the rest of the looking forward to my most important   two hours of the day online, reading for one hour (will ask Peggy to please find a new book for me; Lorraine found Ghost   Boy but that doesn't seem very interesting ... )  and watch the 6pm news for the 240TH time!

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2737 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Jesus Fully Human'. Anyways, continuing events for today?

• So a nice warm shower for me -  hairwash  today. Also thanks to Lorraine who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was one rice cracker, one yummy banana and one small cup of green tea.  Originally PIG mum had put the green tea teabag into the hugest cup, but I told Lorraine to switch to the smallest mug unless she could find the black tea/vanilla chai and some sweetener.
• Happily read the Veronica Roth book for one hour (have nearly finished it!) then had like thirty minutes to play the HP version of Bejeweled! Have passed level fifty but haven't lost a life yet. XD
• Used the loo for two more tinkles @ 5:55pm then signed Lorraine off with my thanks, byes, and Merry Christmases! She's back next Monday same time (and I'm expecting her promptly since her work Christmas party was today) and then it'll haveta be cya next year!
• Watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 239TH time. All the things I recording are in today's third post.
• When dad summoned me over for dinner @ 7:16pm I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely over to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: the less-yummy rice (apparently red rice's healthier than white rice?)  with lotsa cos lettuce, lotsa soup carrot,  lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup tomato,  lotsa soup onion, lotsa soup potato, one mini corn cobette and one soup pork bone with most of the meat already removed.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup, after which I wrote out Christmas cards for the Lungs, the Spenners and the Pinelands Bakehouse people!

Monday Post 265c

 Good afternoon!  Take two: firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2152 steps (see? Told you I'd crack two grand! XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Birth Of The Ancient Of Days'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'You Are Loved And Highly Valued By God' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Send Me Your People'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call  until 6:20am, and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P around 7:45am when dearest dad comes to kiss me bye and  retuck me back into bed before going to church, saying he'll come back home for lunch.
• Mini Pearl and I continue our happy cuddling and snoring, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am, shortly 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's ankle a very brief rub, since she's ignored my poor foot for the past WEEK! >< Never mind, Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes and let her wear her sock to sleep last night but obviously removed the sock first thing this morning~ XD
• After PIG mum helped exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap, she left me to get myself 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 the less yummy (so sticky) bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) with 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.

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 down to Warrigal Square and we buy ingredients she's gonna use to make me mango pudding to take to the EM Christmas party!

• Back home, dearest dad has cooked us oven-baked pizza for lunch! He cuts me three tiny strips (equal to one small slice), lunch gets washed down with one mug of odd-tasting Chinese tea.

• Returned online but not for too long, since Aunty Carol was bringing the grandkids over for their annual visit!

• Turns out Jess was working and couldn't come but Uncle David did; feels like I'd not seen him since primary school!!

• After exchanging gifts, we just sat and chatted. When they left after taking happy snaps together obviously I walked them out!

• Lorraine's minding me from 4-6pm today. Hoping to read for one hour and watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 239TH time when she leaves!

• Toms:  Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm and excitement, I'm meeting the Lungs for our once-termly lunch @ Market Square!  Even more excitingly, we're meeting for shaved ice @ Binggo   afterwards!! Unsure where that is, but I'm sure the Lungs will give directions~ Must remember to write them a Christmas card. Oh, and Naomi's joining us!

• Nothing happening after Peggy leaves; looking forward to my most important two days online, reading for one hour and watching the 6pm news for the 240TH time!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
