Tuesday Post 564b

 Heylo again, good evening and probably one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's probable final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 4063 (sweet I'm just over four grand; that doesn't happen very often!) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "'All Things' As Defined By Paul". Righteo,  probable final, final events for tonight?

• Yay there's a disabled park available for us~ Peggy grabs a trolley for us, then we both buy groceries from Coles (but I keep forgetting that lovely checkout chic's name! XD) and we pop into the Pinelands Bakehouse where I get my crunchy pork  bahn mi from Aunty Lisa before Peggy tootles me back home.
• I use the loo for one tinkle and then enjoy my crunchy pork bahn mi with one big mug of white tea, the only alas being Peggy can't find where the sneaky parents have hidden the sweetener. *sigh*
• At 12:15pm Peggy tootles me off to the NAB for my final session there for 2025! With smooth traffic, I've ten minutes to play on my mobile before we head upstairs @ 12:50am.
• Physio today: Standing practice with left weight shift and reaching for Era while stacking rings, ten double leg squats on the tower of power for both legs and forty single leg squats on the tower of power for Elf. Aww Tam's so sweet: she actually a packet of Tim Tams (double coat) and I got two!
• Back home 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 yummy banana, one plain rice cake and one huge mug of herbal tea. Happiness was reading the vampire novel for one hour; today I reached pg. seventy-five @ 4:14pm~ At4pm I signed Peggy off with my thanks and byes; she's back same time next week~
• Dad tootled us off to Yum Cha And Co   for Aunty A's birthday dinner!
• Exactly like last year, the Slams joined us!
• Frustration was that I couldn't even get *one* bowl of rice. *sigh*
• Delight was that Aunty A ordered my favourite dish (fried fish fillet with corn sauce) and dad gave me three slices!  It's high class; crunchy! ^^)
• But aww Anna didn't let poor Uncle Slam come back to our house for Aunty A's birthday cheesecake! 'Twas delicious and I munched two little slices~
• Toms: hope PIG mum takes me grocery shopping somewhere toms before Jane takes me to play table tennis @ 1:30pm! Else expect a super-pissy  plodding total from me~
• Excitement: Eden's coming @ 6pm and taking me to our GG Christmas breakup party!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing   day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 564

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2747 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Prepare The Way'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Your Emotions Matter To God (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Positive Graffiti' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY-EIGHT  MINUTES online after we have birthday dinner for Aunty A!! Anyways, events for today?

• Nature called once around 12:45am; 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 sleeping that soundly nature didn't call again till 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 returning outside and awaiting Peggy's arrival.
• Once PIG mum lets Peggy inside, Peggy knocks the door, pushes it open and announces good morning. When I nod Mini Pearl @ her, she next states fifteen more minutes. Another nod from Mini Pearl and she wisely withdraws; phew, since Mini Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
• But whoops I fall back asleep before she returns! It's only a light sleep since I wake once she reopens the door. Since it's Summer now I jolly well can't go morgenmuffel on her, so just swing myself over and use the pot :P for three more tinkles. XD
• We get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth (thanks to Peggy who squirted some toothpaste; the new Darlie toothpaste I started last night tastes awesome! ^^), sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast with Peggy, who tells me that she had her usual two fried eggs for breakfast.
• Lol since PIG mum was getting ready for her Pilates class this morning, she forgot to tell Peggy that she's banned bread for my breakfast, meaning apart from healthy cereal this morning I also enjoyed bone slice of thick-crust toast lightly smeared with avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt! I also popped all my usual drugs :P and drank one tall cup of water; Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• Breakfast finished, Peggy slathers both arms and my face with sunscreen then follows me back to the bathroom then returning to the kitchen and washing the kitchen stuff 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 Auto (pronounced Alto) and Peggy tootles me off to Pinelands Plaza. Thanks to her who kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt all day.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 564d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight!  Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2370. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After another tinkle PIG mum tootled me home. Originally, she'd said she'd take me to Big W and buy my chocolate advent calendar, but dearest dad said he'd get it since he didn't want me walking too much until I got my AFO fixed.
• Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Came home for lunch then plopped online and composed my XMas Wishlist!
• When Lorraine arrived, she helped me setup the   Christmas tree! She handed me every single bauble to hang up, then she wrapped the tinsel around!
• Took my fastest shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Lorraine who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Had arvo tea, read for one hour (reached pg. fifty @ 5:29pm), watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 227TH time. All the things I like recording are in today's second post.
• Had dinner, returned online and used the loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm.
• Toms:  Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till 4pm. We'll buy groceries from Pinelands Coles plus my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse then coming back home for lunch before Peggy takes me to UQ for physio.  Fingers crossed it'll be the last one for the year!!
• Peggy will see me home and showered before leaving @ 4pm. I'm hoping to read Eternal Ruin for one hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 228TH time!
• Oh, must remember to give scores for all the GCCW competition entries!!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Monday Post 564c

 Good evening again! Em's new plodding total for tonight now stands @ 2189. Anyways, continuing events for today?

• After using the loo for one tinkle (thanks to PIG mum for passing me some toilet paper first since the roll's over to the left and Ela can barely reach it) I lay down for some massage and acupuncture. PIG mum was in   her element yapping unceasingly @ Ray and excitedly repeating syllables multiple times before continuing but fair enough; she'd not seen him for one month since she was holidaying overseas! My gracious thanks to Ray   who always replied and kept a conversation flowing~
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2038 (ha, I'm just over two grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Pursue  God' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed  online after dinner tonight!! Anyways, events for today?

• Nature called  once  around 12:45am; 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*
• Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P around 9am, shortly   before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let her into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap (since she only lays out the tee for me) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum returns only to finish with 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 use the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• 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. 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, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 

•  After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage @ the MacGregor place but lol, she initially pulls up onto the wrong house! *sigh*

• Aww, Ray's such a good boy; he lets me press the doorbell before calling come in! I've tried walking soundlessly before, but he always anticipates my arrival; when I once protested that I walked totally silently, he replied oh, I can hear your car pull onto the driveway.  XD

Sunday Post 564c

 Good evening and probably one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's probable final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 5248 (ooh apparently, I'm more than half a normal person today; that's rare! XD) and secondly, Joni's daily devotional topic's 'Too Much Of A  Good Thing?' but unless Aunty Florence can videochat @ 10pm and not 9:45pm, I'll still be owed FIFTEEN MINUTES online!! *sigh* Anyways, probable final, final events for tonight?

• Yay I got to stay seated for service today. I sang everything plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING.  >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Pastor Peter Pie with another sermon from his Sermon On The Mount series. Before service, though, Uncle Harry led prayer for the poor victims of the recent HK apartment fire~
• After service I used the loo for one tinkle, grabbed one bikkie from the morning tea table then sat outside the hall munched that.
• Went  to  the airport and collected PIG mum!! <3 Lol, last time we hadn't even left the airport before she'd SCREECHED @ me to SHUT UP; this time, I lasted until partway along the highway before copping that! Reckon one year I'll make it home first?? XD
• Everyone else enjoyed lunch today from Mum's Wok but dad got us take away from Hungry Jack's *sigh* One junior Whopper, only seven chips and about 1/3 of the large orange juice. Took two sips of the free coffee: disgusting! XD
• Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Kelly minded me from 1:30pm till 6:30pm but   dad didn't let us leave until 2pm.
• Bought groceries from Underwood MarketPlace and enjoyed my last LARGE Biscoff milk tea with pearl for a while!
• Showered - 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 two plain crackers, one huge mug of green tea and maybe one banana?
• Happily read my new book for one hour reaching page twenty-five @ exactly 4:50pm.
• Watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 227TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• Dinner was back @ Ho Lin Wah. Neither set meal suited me, but dad ordered the omelette with rice for me and I got nearly (but not quite) one bowl, plus barely half a bowl of soupy thin ho fan, but dad made it look a heaped bowl since he crammed it to overflowing with vegetables. >< XD *sigh* Also drank one cup of Chinese tea, half the set soup and just over one mouthful of the hot HK-style milk tea.
• Got home, used loo for one tinkle and returned online.
• Toms: PIG mum's gonna try take me to APO and get my AFO fixed. Thankfully the twinge has mostly gone but now the AFO CLICKS when I step?? 
• Hope dad remembers to buy me the chocolate advent calendar from Coles!
• Lorraine's minding me from 4-6pm.
• Should I watch the 6pm news for the 228TH time? Gotta compose my Christmas Wishlist to Santa!!
• Anyways, hope  everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Sunday Post 564b

 Heylo again, good afternoon again and potentially one final greeting for today! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 4233 (sweet, 3rd consecutive day I've been over four grand! ^^) but secondly   and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR online after I watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 227TH time!! Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• Nature called again around one hour later, about the same time dearest dad let himself into my room to kiss me good morning and gimme some eye goo.
• After Kelly arrived @ 7:30am, she knocked, opened the door and said good morning. When I waved @ her (my face was faced away from her), Kelly said "I'll come help you up in fifteen minutes, okay?"  Era gave her the thumbs up the flicked 'shoo' @ her; Kelly smirked with laughter and withdrew. 
• When Kelly came back, I used the loo for one more tinkle, we got me kitted and then I headed over to the bathroom and brushed teeth, before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, Kelly walked behind me out to the gobbling :P table.
• Breakfast was one bowl of healthy cereal with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly smeared with salt and lightly sprinkled with salt. Actually, sneaky dad had 'forgotten' to gimme any salt; lucky I double checked with Kelly! >< 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 covers my face and both arms with sunscreen before walking behind 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 Kelly's car and she tootles me off to church, helping me once to  the bathroom before I sign her off with my thanks, byes and cya @ 1:30pm!
• 
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

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*

XD), used the loo once more for two tinkles then went to church and played table tennis with Sharon! Wow she's really good: she served, I returned and then she SMASHED the ball @ me! I have slow reflexes and didn't react in time; the ball whizzed by my right cheek! Sharon immediately squealed sorry and I demanded she write an incident report for that before we both roared with laughter. XD
• Sat and harmonised along with folks that will sing Christmas carols @ Sunnybank Plaza and/or other shopping  centres soon!  The conductor guy's a bass like dad; he tried to sing a line for teaching and really strained. Everyone laughed @ him, poor bloke!

Anyways, events for today?

• Huh, you'd think after plodding more than half a normal person last night I'd be entitled to a good night's sleep, but nature randomly called @ 12:45am?  *sigh* Never mind~
• 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*
• Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P shortly after 9am, just before dearest dad lets him -  bbl!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 564e

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 5337. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After one tinkle, I plopped online but didn't get much into my most important two hours of the day since dad suddenly says I've gotta go to Uncle Colbert's place! Luckily, I'm wearing a bra this time. XD
• Dad says he'll only be ten minutes and not bad thirteen minutes later we say bye and head home!
• Back home I use the loo for one tinkle, return online and happily watch the 6pm news for the TWO HUNDRETH and TWENTY-FIFTH time. All the things I like recording are in today's third post.
• When dad summoned me over for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: rice,  lotsa cos lettuce, lotsa yummy garlic shoot/stem, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup tomato, like two tiny cubes of soup pork and one more sooong I've since forgotten. XD
• Dinner was spooned down myself slowly bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online,  again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

•  At 9pm, I walked myself slowly  and safely once more too  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.

• Toms: Sharon's minding me 8:30am till 2pm; presume we'll get my honey chicken sushi  roll for arvo tea.

• Looking forward to  playing table tennis with dearest dad @ church.

• Will hopefully  finish the book club novel and start the  new one I bought  today; willing to  skip watching the 6pm news  226TH time to read for three hours!

Friday Post 564d

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 5228 (sweet I'm more than half a normal person today! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Scaling The High Bar' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ELEVEN MINUTES online after I visit the loo once more @ 9pm!!
 Righteo, continuing events for today?

• 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*
• Dunno where Mini Pearl wriggled himself off to while I slept last night  XD  but I returned to happy  snorings, waking once more for the pot :P around 9am, shortly before dearest dad comes inside to kiss me good morning and gimme some eye goo.
• After dearest dad opens the door for Jane, she knocks, opens the door and says good morning. I wave my hand @ her in    response. Next, she says fifteen more minutes, okay? I give her the thumbs up, before miming 'shoo'. Jane smirks and wisely   withdraws; phew, since I don't have anything to Bear Bum her with! XD
•  When Jane comes back, I use the loo 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 then heading out to the gobbling :P table with who tells me she had ab loaded smoothie for breakfast.
• For my breakfast, I munch three dry (no honey) :P Weet-Bix topped with bird food (what Dr. Ku   calls All-Bran XD) with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly smeared 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, Jane slathers my face and arms with sunscreen before accompanying me back to the bathroom then   returning to the kitchen and washing up the breakfast stuff.  There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing   and drying   Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Jane's car and she tootles me off to Breathe. Thanks to   her who kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt all day.
• Physio today: 3.098km bike ride, six minutes fast walking, 40 bar-assisted push-ups 40 stepsforErfwithleftweightshift, (don't ask me where all the spaces between the words went XD 40 v-bar cable rows for both hands, 40 leg extensions for Elf, 40 leg curls for, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing!  I'm just cross since that was my 100TH HOUR of   physio this year. >< I've still   got no life. >< And I can't persuade Shirley for a Christmas party! XD
• After one loo trip, 'twas time to hit the Black Friday sales @ Underwood MarketPlace! We just went to Big W and I had the best time getting to    WINDOWSHOP!! :D Wow dad left me FIFTY bucks; I bought a book, a Christmas tee and a mini Squishmallow then even had enough leftover for a large bubble tea!  Jane enjoyed one with me; I also told the guy manning the shopfront that he was naughty for not having any Black Friday deals, like a free size upgrade. XD
• Back home, I showered my quickest -  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, Jane made me a tuna in tomato and onion toastie with TWO cheese and one mug of white tea before quickly cleaning the bathroom.
• Dad signed her off and shooed her away @ 1pm; think she's back next Wednesday for table tennis?
• Lol Dorrie arrived while I was still eating lunch! Luckily dad lemme finish before I headed over with Dorrie (she thought we were cooking too) and I scoffed the squares as fast as possible.
• One hour of unfunctional FitMi exercises over, I sit to read for one hour and munch arvo tea (half a banana, two rice cakes and one huge mug of green tea). Happiness was reading the book club novel for one hour.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• After publishing the previous post, I read and shared the She Reads Truth devotional before reading and sharing Facebook memories~

• Tonight's ice cream night, yay! Even though dad gives even less than PIG mum does, a very little's better than none @ all!

Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call  until 6:30am and after one pot :P trip I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh* 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 Although 'twas a broken sleep last night; suppose I was fretting that I couldn't reach PIG mum last night! I actually woke around 3am and my bladder asked pee? Only I said please wait for a few more hours; it's nearly Summer and the Sun rises very early. XD
• Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P shortly before dearest dad lets himself into my room to kiss me good morning and gimme some eye goo.
• Once Karina arrives, she knocks, opens the door, bids me good morning and says, "Hitting the snooze button for fifteen more minutes ..." Mini Pearl nods @ her and she wisely withdraws; phew, since Mini Pearl's physically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
• When Karina returns, I sit over the pot :P once more for three tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who's already squirted some toothpaste for me.
• After sitting over the loo for one tinkle and washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Karina, rousing @ her for only having a liquid breakfast (she drank a cup of juice XD) and ordering her to buy sth to eat after she buys groceries for dad.
• My breakfast is one bowl of the less-yummy (so sticky) bird food (what Dr. Ku calls bird food :P) very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P 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, Karina covers my face and both arms with sunscreen then walks behind me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast stuff up. Over the loo proper, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Karina's car and she tootles me off to GCCW. I use the loo once upon arrival then discover we're using Meeting Room two today.
• For our final formal meeting of 2025, twelve attended. Tammy went with me once to the bathroom @ morning tea break, Mary got morning tea for me, Amina poured me a second cup, Agnes/Merlyn gave me some 'sar chi ma' (say that in Canto) then afterwards I asked Tammy for a 3RD cup of tea since that sar chi ma stuff was so sweet! XD First homework for 2026's The envelope slid under the door.
• After Karina fetched me, she took me once more to the loo then tootled me home for a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Karina who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was one bowl of rice leftovers smothered with boiled vegetables and four tint little pieces of soup pork. I enjoyed one big mug of powdered HK-style milk tea; thanks to Karina who's stuck it into the fridge for me while I was showering to cool it down for me!
• When dad got home, he immediately signed Karina off and shooed her away. Her daughter's being moved to some new psychiatric facility near Wacol soon...
• One tinkle for me before I plopped online~
• Once I've used up my most important two hours online for today (dad's already bugged me about when I'm getting offline *sigh*), I'll use the loo for one tinkle, sit @ the gobbling :P table , munch arvo tea, read for another hour and then hopefully watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 224TH time!
• Tonight's ice cream night; yay! Like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all~ 
• Toms: Jane's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm and taking me to Breathe for physio. I'm just grumpy since that'll be the 100TH HOUR of physio I've endured this year! >< *sigh*
• But afterwards, I'm using Sparkless3 and we're hitting the Black Friday sales; PIG mum says I can buy sth!

Nature didn't call until 5:50am (my favourite thing about the warmer months prolly how early the Sun rises now! ^^)  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*

•  Storm's coming, eep! ><
• Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P once more around 9am shortly before dearest dad lets himself into my room to kiss me good morning and gimme some eye goo.
• After dad lets Narelle inside @ 9:30am, Narelle knocks, opens the door and bids me good morning. When I nod Mini Pearl back @ her, she goes fifteen more minutes, okay? Mini Pearl nods his body okay and then flicks his body in the 'shoo' motion. Narelle smirks and wisely leaves; phew, since Mini Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
• When Narelle 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 walk out to the gobbling :P table with Narelle, who tells me she had oats for breakfast.
• For breakfast, I get one bowl of healthy cereal with one slice of dry (unbuttered thick-crust toast spread with avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs: P and one tall cup of water. Pity that dad said no tea! 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, Narelle smears both arms and my face with sunscreen and walks behind me back to  the bathroom, before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast dishes up. 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 climb into the passenger seat of Narelle's car and she tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Thanks to her who kindly helped me with my seatbelt all day.
• A Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle then lie down for some massage and acupuncture. Originally, Narelle sat behind us, chatting but when she couldn't find her mobile, she went back out to her car to find it; eep, overheating!  Ray and I had a nice chat although I reminded him next week PIG mum would have returned and thanked him for some nice conversations but once she's back she'll yap @ session, you'll reply yes and she'll continue, while I'll just nap. Ray just snorted with laughter. XD
• Following another pot :P trip, Narelle tootled us back to Underwood MarketPlace, parking around the side and then grabbing a trolley for us.
• After we bought groceries from Woolies (thanks to Narelle who lemme sit on the self-serve checkout while she scanned our items) Narelle and I both enjoyed a LARGE bubble tea for the price of a regular one!! The worker there's Chinese Vietnamese; when I left, I said cya next year prolly since when PIG mum comes back, she'll not lemme come here for bubble tea anymore. XD
• EEp CODA just rang and said Angelica might not come till 5pm! Doesn't matter; as long as someone comes and I can shower...
• Back home I had a bowl of rice leftovers plus one delicious mug of white tea sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar for lunch.
• @ 1:30pm I signed Narelle off with my thanks and byes; she's turning sixty-seven next Monday and her kids are taking her to some steakhouse for her birthday dinner! Unsure when she's back, so we've said our Merry Christmas and Happy 2026 just in case.  XD
• It's 3:38pm now; hope Angelica arrives to superfvise my shower soon ... wonder will I get to read for one hour/watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 231ST time!
• Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30am  till 4pm.  Presuming she's helping me up, taking me to buy groceries from Coles Pinelands and get a crunchy pork  salad roll from  the Pinelands Bakehouse, come home for lunch, take me to the NAB for physio with Tam.
• Peggy will see me home and showered before leaving @ 4pm and then @ 5:30pm Lorraine's taking me to Toastmasters but not just any Toastmasters! Rather, it's the final normal meeting of the year (our next one will  be the last for  2025  @  the pub) and I'm FINALLY getting a MILKSHAKE with my UnHappy Meal!!! :D
• Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing  everyone a smashing Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 526c

 Good evening and definitely one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 4731 (sweet I'm even over 4.5 grand; that's even more uncommon than four grand!)  and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Stretcher Bearer'. Anyways, just very briefly, final, final events for tonight?

• Showered, ate arvo  tea (fruit, vanilla chai and THREE plain rice crackers) and read for one hour.
• Watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 230TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• Had dinner with dearest dad @ Hoo Lin Wah.
• Toms: the old carer's taking me to see Ray; maybe her name's Narelle?? XD
• She says we can have bubble tea @ Underwood MarketPlace afterwards; free upsize, woot! Dad bagged me out tonight for getting a large one, but I replied to you can't; you didn't say what size I had to get; you said I could only add pearl, which I did. XD
• Will come home for lunch with dearest dad then enjoy my  most important two hours of the day online before Angelica minds me from 3:45pm till 5:45pm.
• Hoping to watch   the 6pm news for the 231ST time!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing week  ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 526b

 Heylo again, good afternoon again and potentially one final greeting for today! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 4015. Ha, I'm just over four grand; that doesn't happen very often! XD Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• Speaker today was Tyvus with a sermon from the Living It Upside Down series and service ended thirteen minutes early like.
• After dad collected me, I used the disabled loo myself for one tinkle then sat outside the service hall since dad had already grabbed some morning tea for me!
• During morning tea break, dear Aunty Anne gifted me a Minion keyring (<3 the Minions!!) and Happy came to tell me that she was gonna celebrate her mum's 80TH birthday tonight; I told her make sure you get her a proper 80TH card since they're available for the special decade birthdays!
• While everybody else shared lunch @ the Sunnybank Plaza food court (our old haunt back in the days of AIC!) dad made me eat lunch with him @ Hungry JUack's again. *sigh* A cheeseburger for me (I'm not a fan of the Hungry Jack's cheeseburgers since they contain mustard) about fourteen chips, one small orange juice, two sips of disgusting coffee and like two chomps of the mini-Drumstick ice cream cone that dad shook on his Hungry Jack's app!
• 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.
• After Gabby arrived, dad ordered we not leave for another thirty minutes? No biggie, I just stayed online until 2pm and then used the loo for one tinkle before climbing into the passenger seat of Gabby's car.
• Unfortunately, all the disabled parks were taken but Gabby eventually found a park somewhere and I bought groceries. Note to self: must ask dad for coins next time; we couldn't get a trolley since they require coins to unlock but dad had only given me notes and Gabby only had a card!
• 
  
• Groceries bought, Gabby tootled us back around to the other side of Underwood MarketPlace,  this time parking almost directly across from Moomi Tea.
• Aww I feel like a loyal customer: the guy behind the counter actually REMEMBERED my order! Dad said I wasn't allowed to ADD cookie to   my pearl milk tea, hence why I got a COOKIE milk tea and added pearls! XD Half ice normal sugar for me. Gabby got some kinda matcha thing with star jelly? Fingers crossed Narelle (think that's her name) will take me to get one toms arvo  and then I can claim the free upgrade available Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday!
• Back home, I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today.  Also thanks to Gabby who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye fully shut. Oh, Gabby also noticed that my monthlies arrived. Lol and today I'm celebrating my 17.5TH year release from the insane asylum! I celebrate half-birthdays; why not celebrate half-freedom days too?? XD
• I had one tinkle before Gabby flipped the nice  warm - bbl!
• Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news (Nine's, read by Mia Glover) for the 230TH time: Ha-teya (first name),  Gripske, Seferovic, Blenkinsop, Kyrrie (first name), Keir (first name), Starmer, Becker, Trump (heard), Albanese (heard), Beasley,Greer, Rix, Labuschagne, Netanyahu,, Bolsonaro, Crooks, Hoekstra, Weatherald, Rockcliff, Djodan, Head (heard), Colvin,  Barnes, Cebrano (heard), Kearsley, Piastri  (heard), Verstappen (heard),Dowling, Wilson, Labuschagne, Renshaw, Khawaja, Whitlock, Vieira, Todhunter, Vines, Van Lunteren, Packer, Chopper Tsimpikas, Littleproud, Starcevich, Cotter, Inventor Croucher, Forrest, Stokes, Woolf, Lyon, Fraser, Finocharrio and Youngberry.  Adam Jackson  read the sports report andGarry Youngberry read the weather report from the Roma Street Parklands.

Sunday Post 526

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2043 steps (ha, I'm just over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Kewy To Spiritual Maturity'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'God Wants To Work Through You (3)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Our Worth In Christ' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTEEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's)  for the 231ST time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Strange that nature called twice after midnight and not just once but hey, no biggie.
• 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
• Around 7:25am dearest dad lets himself into my room to kiss me good morning and gimme some eye goo, saying fifteen more minutes now and you can have ten more minutes after Jane arrives.
• When Jane comes into my bedroom for the second time, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle and then we get me kitted before I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That down, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table with Jane, who told me that she slurped a breakfast smoothie for breakfast this morning!
• For my breakfast I get one bowl of healthy cereal with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread with avocado and 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, Jane covers my face and hands with sunscreen then walks behind 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!

Saturday Post 526c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3892. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I read and shared Facebook memories for five minutes.
• 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: Jane's coming back to help me up @ 7:30am! Lol when I said bye to her this arvo after she dropped me off @ church  for table tennis she'd originally said cya Wednesday but Michelle never replied the email I sent her last week asking her to fill in this week's TBAs; I rang CODA on-call and told Trish she'd better find me someone to help me up toms since I'm attending  church and I'm not gonna let dad help me with a bra!! >< XD She rang back during dinner and said Sarah was coming; phew! Will definitely remember profuse thankyous tomorrow!
• Expecting a mouthful with dad @ Hungry  Jack's  for lunch  but fingers crossed he'll lemme buy a bubble tea with Gabby for arvo tea @ Underwood Marketplace!
• She'll leave @ 6:30pm; fingers crossed dad will take us out for dinner toms night together!
• Anyways, looking forward to  seeing  everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  

   

Saturday Post 526b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3758 (so sorry, won't reach four grand tonight XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'A Good Wife' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed SIX MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, events for today?

• I've forgotten what time nature called last night but after one pot :P trip   this morning 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*

•  Falling back asleep with Mini Pearl, nature calls twice more before Jane announces her arrival @ 9:30am. After dad lets her in, she knocks, opens the door and bids me good morning. When I nod Minim Pearl back @ her she says she'll come help me up after fifteen more minutes, okay?  Mini Pearl nods again before flicking his body 'shoo' @ her; Jane smirks and wisely leaves even though Pearl's anatomically of giving the Bear Bum! Oh, after one pot :P trip before Jane arrived, 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 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. After drinking one tall cup of water, I sit over the loo proper. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

• After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Jane.

• Breakfast is my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast with one full mug of water, my first mug of white tea sweetened with two sugars and all my usual drugs. :P Despite dad's persistence to hurry up and leave, I read for thirty minutes first up. 

• After one more tinkle, I climb into the passenger seat of Jane's car and she tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace, parking outside the front. Thanks muchly to her who kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt all day.

• Jane grabs a trolley for us and then we buy the groceries dad wants. Jane doesn't have any groceries that need buying today.

• Our other stop before heading home's the sushi place to buy my honey chicken sushi roll for arvo tea.  Jane just told me to lean against the counter while she bought it.

• Back home, I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Jane who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

• Dried, creamed and rekitted lunch is one bowl of leftover fried rice. Thanks to Jane for two more big mugs of white tea with two teaspoonfuls of sugar. 

• Feels like I'm leaving earlier and earlier every week to play table tennis with dad? Before going, I sit over the loo once for two more tinkles.

• Also, only dad and I played today? Unsure where everyone else was but I took a loo break during play and afterwards sat in on the Christmas choir rehearsal and harmonised along with the carols I knew~

• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat down to read for a good long while, since it's only Wednesdays that I can spend a blessed three hours reading~ Today I reached pg. 175 @ 3:54pm and reached pg. 200 @ exactly 4:44pm!

• After one tinkle I plopped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 230TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.

• Once the news ended, I called out and asked dad to please summon me when dinner was ready, repeating the reminder @ 7:15pm.

• When dad summoned me over for dinner @ 7:19pm, 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: leftover fried rice blanketed with a mound of boiled lettuce and soup carrot.

• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup and supper was one chunk of dad's piece of toast; after taking the bowl over to the sink then fetching the phone from my bedroom, I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again Rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• Righteo, hopefully brb after one last loo trip @ 9pm  with my  final,  final plodding total  for today, the final, final events for  tonight plus what's happening  Sunday, else looking forward to  seeing everyone @ church  toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
