Monday Post 601c

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3316. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• PIG mum had already come over @ 8:58pm in her eagerness to gleefully force poor Ela into doing one set of those FitMi exercises for her, but I just ignored her and used the loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm then skipped all the demonstration videos. Still, I'll not have been online for two hours until 10:13pm ... suddenly, PIG mum says watching the news also counts as net time? In that case, I'll stop watching it and just listen to it. *sigh*
• Toms: Angelica's minding me from 9:30pm til 4pm. We'll buy groceries from Coles plus my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse, come home for lunch then head out to the NAB @ 12:15pm. Mandy's giving me physio from 1-2 and then Angelica will see me home and showered before leaving. 
• Looking forward to reading Phoenix Flame for one hour and then watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 114TH time!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. And just like that, the first half of 2025's over! Whoops that I've totally stacked it twice this year already; fingers crossed I'll stay upright for the rest of the year~

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3248 but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm and let PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela on one set of those FitMi exercises!! Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• Back home PIG mum whipped up some lunch for us and afterwards we cooked together! The recipe called them biscuits; personally, I thought they were more like a flattened dumpling?
• Forgot which chocolate-coloured carer came this arvo, but she came nearly ten minutes late since she was busy @ her other job where she's some kinda manager since today's the end of the financial   year!
• But after showering she found me this really awesome new book to read! It's called Phoenix Flame and I reached page fifty @ exactly 5:20pm.
• After the carer left I happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 113RD time. All the interesting surnames I found: Heinke, Stokes,  Greer, Al;lan, Janetzki (heard), Chalmers (heard), Bavas, Mattheson (heard), Cass,  Gottlieb, Stone, Kohler (heard), Beaman, Crisafulli (heard), Chippendale, Croucher, Hanson, Albanese, Bragg, Kearsley, Norris, Netanyahu (heard), Godfrey, Trump,  De Minaur, Bavas, Verills (heard), Djokovich (heard), Millward, Alcaraz  (heard), Patterson, Johnson, Kiss, Pye (first name), Augustine,Brigginshaw (heard), Papaliii,Shibasaki, Hamiso (first name), Sanders, Guevara,Jenner, Grossi (heard), Tasmin (first name),Kowaleski,Cobbo,Bajic, Snezana (first name), Norris, Piastri, Verstappen (heard),Montemurro,Lohmann,Grady (first name), Haas, Heagney, Daley,Nader and Kohler. Chris Kohler read the finance report (1AUD = 65.46USc) ,Jonathan Uptin read the sports report read the sports report and Garry Youngberry read the weather report from Kangaroo Point. Brisbane was 15-17 today. Brisbane toms: 11-20. Mt. Gravatt toms: 9-20. Sunrise 6:38am Sunset 5:05pm
• Unsure why dad got home so late but when PIG mum summoned me to dinner I first headed to the garage and told dad please come inside and eat too. 
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa icky bitter vegetable, some 'sar gok' (say that in Canto) and like one chunk of tasty pork.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the fridge I walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Anyways, hopefully bbl following one last loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for todayy, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms else wishing everyone  a smashing Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 601b

 Heylo again, good evening 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 3052 steps (ha, I'm just over three grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Powerful Root Of Practical Love'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Don't Be A Grumbler (2)'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Sleepless?;' and fourthly, Joni's devotional topic's "When Pain's Too Much" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still  owed ONE HOUR and TWELVE MINUTES online after dinner tonight!! Anyways, events for today?

• Aww, my awesome sleep streak ended around 12:45am this morning when nature called, but hopefully I'll start another one right away~
• When nature called again after the Sun  had risen, I used the pot :P again for another tinkle before I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P when dearest dad kisses me bye and retucks me back into bed before leaving for work @ Aunty Yvonne's place, saying he'll come home and eat lunch with me, yay~
• More, happy cuddling and snoring for Daddy Bear and me, nature calling once more around 9am just before noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy   a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help very exceedingly slightly with the tops before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Breakfast was CAKE; one lil  slice of the little CAKE PIG mum baked for us after she made a bigger one for Dr. Lee's birthday two nights ago and WOW, 'twas DELICIOUS! I also slurped one boowl of plain porridge, popped all my usual drugs :P and spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*

•  After breakfast, I walked myself slowly and safely back to the 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 climbed into the backseat of PIG mum's car. Unsure why she suddenly helped me buckle my seatbelt both ways, but thanks!
• PIG mum  tootled us off to Calamvale Central to buy groceries and parked underground, but we caught the escalator up. First we bought stuff from Woolies and then ducked into the Mega Discount Fruit Market for more produce. Lol, the checkout chic suddenly told me, "Long time no see," but obviously I didn't recognise her.  XD
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Saturday Post 501c

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3348. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I spent five minutes reading and sharing Facebook memories.
• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. Resigned to a pissy  bite  of  lunch with  dad @  Hungry Jack's and then a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum. *sigh*
• But looking forward to viewing the full match replay of the Broncos vs. Warriors; surely it'll be up!

  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 501b

 Heylo  again and good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 3292 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The African Queen' but thirdly and way most importantly I'm really still owed TWENTY-NINE MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, continuing today's events?

• When Karina returns, we get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth (thanks to Karina who squirts some toothpastes for me), drink one full mug of water and then 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 Karina, grousing @ her for AGAIN not eating breakfast and telling her that she'd buy lunch when I went out and bought my sushi roll for arvo tea. XD
• For my breakfast, Karina fried me my once-weekly egg and stuck it over one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with avocado but sprinkled with salt. I also enjoy my first big mug of white tea sweetened with one big spoonful of honey, pop all my usual drugs :P and drain another full mug of water. Then I happily read for thirty minutes, reaching page twenty-five @ exactly 10:35am.
• While Karina closes and locks windows, I use the loo for one tinkle before climbing into the passenger seat of her car. Thanks to Karina who helps me with my seatbelt all day.
• At Underwood MarketPlace she grabs a trolley for us. Turns out PIG mum hasn't got any groceries to buy from Woolies; we're only ducking in and buying me a honey chicken sushi roll for arvo tea!
• Back home I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Karina who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, Karina makes me a tuna with tomato and onion toastie with TWO cheese that's HEAVILY buttered and also two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with one big spoonful of honey, since I'm sure PIG mum'll only gimme herbal tea this arvo. Over and after lunch, I happily read for thirty-five more minutes, finishing pg.  150 @ 12:17pm and finishing pg. 175 @ 12:42pm.
• I sit once more over the loo for two tinkles before Karina tootles me off to church to play table tennis with dearest dad. Lucky thing: she's taking a client to see the Broncos match @ Suncorp Stadium next!
• Didn't get to play with Uncle Simon today since he suddenly had to leave, but he says we'll play together next week~
• After dad tootled us home, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat down to read all arvo, since it's only Saturdays that I can spend a blessed three hours reading~ Today, I reached pg. 200 @ 3:12pm, reached pg. 222 @ exactly 3:40, reached pg. 225 @ exactly 3:45pm, finished pg. 250 @ 4:28pm and reached pg. 275 @ 5:12. Mostly I was just disappointed that I missed out on Sunnybank Plaza's Food Trail. *sigh* Instead, I'm looking forward to meeting Pastor Grace and Reverend Chris for lunch next Thursday~
• Used the loo for one tinkle, plopped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 111ST time. All the things I like recording are in today's first post.
• When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa sugarloaf, lotsa not-very-yummy soup pumpkin and one yummy chunk of roast pork with crackling. Maybe even a slice of fish?
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Righteo, hopefully brb after one 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. ^^

Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 7th consecutive awesome sleep last night; that's already the 15TH time this year I've enjoyed one straight week of awesome sleeps!!  Dare I dream I could achieve TWENTY-FIVE again??
• At 7:45am, dearest dad came and kissed me bye before leaving for work @ Aunty Yvonne's, saying he'd see me later @ church for table tennis. After using the pot :P for one tinkle,  I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*

•  Daddy Bar and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am. After another tinkle, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*

•  Shortly afterwards, PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor Elf a very brief rub, since she ignored her last night.

• Once PIG mum lets Karina inside @ 9:30am, Karina knocks, opens the door,  bids me good  morning and says hitting the snooze button for fifteen moore minutes ... Daddy  Bear  flops a paw @ her and she wisely retreats, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD

• When PIG mum ordered me off to the loo, I presumed she was summoning me for dinner so used the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era and then walked myself slowly and safely over to the gobbling: p table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa sugarloaf, lotsa soup carrot and a few strips of delicious BBQ chicken.

Thursday Post 501

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3272 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Death Trap Called Covetousness'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Resolve Conflict Quickly (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Christ Our Priority' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm  really still owed ONE HOUR online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 109TH time!!  Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:35am, and after one pot :P trip I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• I was only eleven breaths in counting myself back to sleep when dearest dad came and kissed me nye before heading out to work @ Aunty Yvonne's place!
• Daddy Bear and I happily cuddled and snored, me waking again for the pot :P when PIG mum's daily noisy a-THUMPING around woke me. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor Elf a very brief rub since she'd ignored my poor foot last night.
• Once PIG mum opened the door for Karina @ 8am, Karina knocked, pushed the door open, bid me good morning and added "Hitting the snooze button for fifteen more minutes ... Daddy Bear flops his arm @ her and she wisely leaves, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
• When Karina returns, I use the pot :P for three more tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who's already squirted some toothpaste for me.
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to the kitchen with Karina, rousing @ her for not eating breakfast this morning and ordering her to buy herself some after she buys groceries for PIG mum while I'm attending GCCW.
• For my breakfast, I have one bowl of warmed healthy cereal and porridge 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* Also thanks to Karina who turns on Sunrise for my viewing pleasure~
• After breakfast, Karina walks behind me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing up my breakfast dishes. 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 climb into the passenger seat of Karina's car and she tootles me off to GCCW. Thanks to her who kindly helps me with my seatbelt all day.
• At the library, I use the loo for one tinkle and then find GCCW being held inside Meeting Room Two today. Karina sees me settled and then leaves too buy groceries for PIG mum, saying cya @ midday.
• Seven attended today and homework for next fortnight's 'atonement'. Thanks to Tammy who helped me once to the bathroom @ morning tea and Mary who got me some morning tea: there was even some popcorn today!
• After the meeting ended five minutes early, everyone cleared out really quickly. Thanks to Tammy who stayed with me until Karina arrived to pick me up. I love Tammy's top, which says "Dinosaurs didn't read ... look what happened to them'! XD
• Karina tootled me home; for lunch, PIG mum left me one bowl of leftover yeung  chun noodles (say that in Canto) that she kindly added some oyster sauce to make tastier and one cup of powdered HK-style milk tea. 
• Before leaving for Breathe, I sat over the loo for two more tinkles. I like Karina taking me to Breathe: you're allowed to park after the first three spaces and she does that; unsure why Peggy always parks right @ the very end?
• Physio today: 2.085km bike ride, 36 bar push-ups, 36 steps for Erf, 36 v-cable rows for both hands, 36 leg curls for Elf, 48 leg extensions for Elf, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing!
• Afterwards, Karina tootled me home and I took my quickest possible shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to her 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, about one plain cracker and one huge mug of herbal tea. Happiness  was reading Rosie Batty's memoirs for  one hour, reaching page fifty @ 4:13pm. 
• One more tinkle for I returned online and watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 109TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of this post.
• Tonight's ice cream night, yay! Like I say every week, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm and taking me to the NAB for a two-hour physio session with Georgie (I think. XD) She'll see me home and showered before Dorrie/Syn comes and gives Ela one hour of unfunctional hand exercises.
• 
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 501d

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 3394. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I continued sharing Facebook memories. PIG mum was so eager to gleefully force poor Ela onto doing one set of those FitMi exercises for her she'd come over minutes earlier and attached the puck with strap onto Ela but I just paid her no heed.  XD Actually I hadn't finished the previous post yet but ended it since PIG mum had come over. Oh, I'd also used the loo myself twice more.
• Exercises finished, I spent another seven minutes continuing to read and share my Facebook memories, meaning one set took twenty-two minutes today.
• At 9pm I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. Actually, did PIG mum gimme an ENORMOUS bowl of soup to drink after dinner last night? Coz I'd already used the loo twice more after dinner!
• Toms: Karina's coming @ 8am and taking me to GCCW! Only afterwards I've got Breathe physio @ 2pm meaning she's supposed to mind me till 4pm since I need a shower after getting home but the roster says she's leaving @ 1:30pm?
• But hoping to read for one hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 109TH time!
• Best of all, it's ice cream night toms night! Like I say every week, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Righteo, hope everyone's having a smashing week!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 601c

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 3140 (ha, I'm over three grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "A Heart That Won't Quit" but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed EIGHT MINUTES online after I let PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela on one set of those FitMi exercises for her!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:25am 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*
• I'd not quite fallen back asleep yet when dearest dad enters my bedroom to kiss me bye and retuck me back into bed saying he's off doing more work @ Aunty Yvonne's place but will come home for lunch with me~
• 'Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again once more for the pot :P around 9am shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with the tops (bra strap, tee and jumper) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• When I tell PIG mum I've mostly kitted myself, she comes back to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both shoelaces, 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 warm porridge and healthy cereal with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully very 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, 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 seatbelt  (what I do both ways). PIG mum tootles us down the road to Warrigal Square to buy groceries from Woolies.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 601b

 Heylo  again and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I get to post online before midday. XD Firstly, my final, final plodding total from Tuesday's actually 5210 (sweet I was more than half a normal person yesterday; that's rare!); secondly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's 'At War With   Spirits'; thirdly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2120 steps (ha, I'm over two grand XD); fourthly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's "I Can Be Content In Every Circumstance'; fifthly, TWFT topic's 'Resolve Conflict Quickly (1)' and sixthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Credit  Where Due but seventhly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and FIFTEEN MINUTES online after I get back from table tennis and the carer leaves @ 6:30pm!! Anyways, let's start with yesterday's events first!

• Before I left for Toastmasters; Rosanna popped over after work and we redid the Bible study we'd covered last week for GG~ She's attending CPE right now but plans to return to BCAC someday~
• When Lorraine arrived, PIG mum sent me to the loo once while she moved Sparkless3 into Lorraine's boot. When I came out I thanked Rosanna for coming and gave her a big hug; she says she'll come again like next week/next fortnight, I wonder what we'll study since GG's on semester break right now?
• When Lorraine drove me to Toastmasters 'twas good to catchup; she told me all about the cruise she'd taken!
• But since neither of us can read maps and I've not got any direction sense we couldn't find the HiQ building for Toastmasters; the guy we asked for directions that actually led us there was actually the architect who'd designed the building! I told him about my D+ and he just laughed. XD
• Only seven attended last night  and the eighth was Lorraine. She was great and tried her hand @ a Table Topic! Most excitingly, our next meeting's the pub  changeover function! :
• After the meeting,  Lorraine tootled us back to Maccas where I got my UnHappy Meal for dinner before she dropped me back home.  Repeat the usual nightly events and zzz ~
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
• P.S All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's,  read by Melissa Downes) for the 107TH time: Godfrey,  Trump, Albanese, Putte, Armari (heard), Millward  Zelensky, Chalmers, Canavan, Lehrmann, Arvier,  Langbroek, Crisafulli, Miles,  Janetzki, Abdo, Bolt,  Lattouf, Rayleigh, Bernstein,  Marks, Buttrose (heard), Ida (first name,  heard), Anwari, Hogan,  Murdoch (heard), Grieve, Falconio (heard), Lees (heard), Hudson,  Matheson (heard), Gout (first name), Gout, Usain (first name,  heard), Bolt (heard), Csucs, Todhunter,  Kane, Cummins, Paisami (heard),Herbie (first name,heard), Farnworth (Ford, Raven, Zahos (heard),Jack Chuang, Horn, Irwin and Kohler.

XD Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4462 steps (sweet I'm not often over four grand and I'm gonna finish past 4.5 grand tonight! ^^ XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Faith Honours Him Who It Trusts'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Waiting Strategy' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The God Who Rescues' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-SEVEN MINUTES online when Rosanna comes over for some Bible study!! >< Argh, yet another day where I'll not get the ENTIRETY of my MOST IMPORTANT two hours of the day online!! >< *sigh* Anyways, just briefly, events for today?

• Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like the past two days, nature didn't call until 7:05am~
• Angelica helped me up, took me grocery shopping @ Pinelands Plaza and I got a crunchy pork bahn mi from Aunty Nancy for lunch.
• NAB physio with Mandy: Standing practice at parallel bars with left weight shift, twelve laps parallel bars walking twelve laps long hallway walking and three/four transfers from double red mats to plinth.
• Came home for a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Angelica who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted  thanks to PIG mum who gave me some rice for arvo tea, since she knows I'll fret should I endure any day without rice. XD

Monday Post 600e

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 4129. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I finished and sent around my GCCW homework.
• 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.
• Let PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela on one set of those  FitMi   exercises for her. That took around twenty-five minutes.
• Toms: Angelica's minding me from 9:30pm till 4pm.

Then she'll see me home and showered before leaving. Hope PIG mum remembers to gimme some rice for arvo tea!

• Dinner tonight: last night's dinner leftovers, with lotsa additional chokos and lotsa additional carrot. Unsure why we can't ever enjoy a meal out without taking away some home for a  meal the next day, but hey.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the gobbling :P table I walked myself sloowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

Hard to believe it's been one whole DECADE since Rosie Batty became Australian Of the Year ...
• After reading for one hour, I had ten minutes to happily play Jewels.
• With five minutes before Angelica left, I sat over the loo for two more tinkles. Originally Angelica was  gonna dash off four minutes early but suddenly PIG mum kept her to exactly the right time by giving her something ... black sesame? No, black fungus!
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 107TH time. All the things I like recording are above this post's dot points.

Monday Post 600b

 Heylo again, good afternoon and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I get to post online before midday. XD Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3476 steps (so promise I'll have cracked 3.5 grand before the day's out XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'How We Must Fight For Holiness' (sounds familiar; wasn't that yesterday's devotion?); thirdly, TWFT topic's "Don't Burn Out (2)" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Entangled' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed EIGHTMEEN MINUTES online after Angelica minds me from 3:45pm till 5:45pm!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 7:15am 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*
• I'd barely fallen back asleep when dearest dad came and kissed me bye, saying he's working @ Aunty Yvonne's place! After retucking me back into bed, dad promised he'd come home and eat lunch with me~
• After dad left, Daddy Bear and I cuddled and snored, me waking once more for the pot :P when woken by PIG mum's noisy daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with the bra, tee and jumper before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• When I tell PIG mum that I've mostly independently kitted myself, she comes back and finishes with only 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 another (and last) of the yummy pork floss buns I helped PIG mum make recently with one bowl of warmed 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? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• Breakfast finished, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the bathroom, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel.

See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage.
• At Ray's, I use the loo for another tinkle then lay down for some acupuncture and massage. PIG mum's in her element yapping unceasingly @ Ray; grateful thanks to Ray who always replied and kept a conversation flowing.  Actually, PIG mum deserves commendation once: she controlled herself pretty well today and only repeated two words three times! XD
• After another loo trip I said my thanks and byes to Ray and then climbed back into PIG mum's car. Not seeing him next week since it's semester break and he's taking his girls holidaying like interstate! Originally, I thought PIG mum would book me into see Aunty Anna for some massage and acupuncture instead but turns out she doesn't like Aunty Anna since she thinks her workplace smells? Dunno, perhaps expect a super-pissy plodding total from me next Monday, then ...
• Instead, we went to Sunnybank Hills Shopping town, caught the lift up onto level four and bought two new towels from KMart! Personally, I'm just disappointed there weren't any red ones; I wanted to buy another bloody towel for usage when Peggy's around! XD
• Back home, Bettina was already cleaning and dad had me immediately come inside, sit down and have lunch, which was one bowl of last night's dinner leftovers. Unsure why we  can never enjoy a full meal out without bring home some for lunch the next day, but hey.
• Lunch was washed down with one huge mug of green tea; after using the loo for one more tinkle I walked myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Bettina knocked off and left two minutes early, but hey. Thanks to her who walked with me down the hallway since she'd just mopped the floor and 'twas slippery.
• Angelica's minding me from 3:45pm till 5:45pm. Must remember to ask her please to find me a new book to read.
• Toms: Angelica's back from 9:30pm till 4pm. Presuming she'll help me up, take me to Pinelands Coles to buy groceries and get my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse, come home and eat lunch, drive me out to the NAB for physio @ 12:15pm (hope Kat remembers to visit!) and take me back home for a shower.
• At 5:30pm, Lorraine's taking me to Toastmasters! Originally that was our changeover function @ the pub but that's been pushed back till the 2nd Tuesday for June since Viktor's away currently!
• Looking forward to bringing some dinner back from Maccas; never mind that UnHappy Meals were what I ate surely three DECADES ago! *sigh*
• Righteo, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,

Sunday Post 600d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3608. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• 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: late morning appointment to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD
• She's said we can go grocery shopping and aisle walking afterwards become coming home for lunch with dearest dad, so I'm expecting I'll have passed one grand. XD
• Hopefully Bettina remembers to come clean for two hours and hopefully Angelica can grab me a new book to read when she comes and minds me from 3:30pm till 5:30pm!

Sunday Post 600c

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3541 (ha, I'm just over 3.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "Life's Hard".  Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• After I dried the loo seat I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped both feet dry, washed and dried Era and then 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.
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 106TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post. 
• When PIG mum called dinnertime, I used the loo for one tinkle and then climbed into the backseat of her car. Thanks too her who kindly helped me with my seatbelt both ways this time, since I've got seriously sh*tty night vision post brain injury (amongst other disabilities. ><) *sigh*
• Like previous Sundays, dinner was @ Ho Lin Wah. Dad found a car park nearly right outside the entrance; perhaps 'twas a bit later than usual?
• The set meals didn't suit me today but dad ordered some omelette with rice, and I had about one bowl of that; 'twas yummy! I also drank half the set soup, one cup of Chinese tea, about 1.5 deep fried cuttlefish balls and just over one mouthful of the HK-style milk tea. The head waitress came over for a chat; her name's Debbie and she's got a twenty-four-year-old daughter.
• Once dad tootled us home, I walked myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Anyways, hopefully brb following one last loo trip with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  
  

Sunday Post 600b

Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3155. Ha, I'm over three grand. XD Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• Once I'd used up the most important two hours of my day, I used the loo for one tinkle and then sat @ the gobbling :P table for arvo tea. Thanks to PIG mum who'd left me one gloopy mouthful of passionfruit, one plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea.
• Since I'd finished the book I was reading, instead I did the crossword and the other word games from the newspaper I'd bought three days ago!
• When PIG mum tumbled downstairs from pigland and ordered me off to go shower, I walked myself slowly and safely into the bathroom, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• So a nice hot shower for me - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually I was all done after only 9% but happily leaned fully against the right-side side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling PIG mum back.
• Since she'll not even help me dry my back anymore, once she dried the back of the chair and passed me the towel, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until my bra strap needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
• After I dried the loo seat I sat  for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped  both feet dry, washed and dried Era  and then walked myself slow - bbl!

• Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S.

Sunday Post 600

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2642 steps (ha, I'm over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Satisfaction That Defeats Sin'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Don't Burn Out (1)" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Leave It With God'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! I'd actually woken twice with a full bladder, once during deep night and the other time when the sky had started lightening but not enough to see the clock clearly yet; both times I'd asked my bladder could I fall back asleep without accident/should I use the pot and she'd replied, nah, sleep.
• Around 7:05am/7:15am PIG mum let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with the bra strap, tee and jumper before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes and using the pot :P once more first.
• When I inform PIG mum that I've mostly independently kitted myself, she comes back and finishes with only Elf's ADO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Breakfast is one of those delicious pork floss buns I'd helped PIG mum make last night with one bowl of warmed healthy cereal, all my usual drugs :P and one full cup of milk. 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 us off to church and parks under the service hall. I hike up the ramp, use the last cubicle of the normal female loo for one tinkle, wash and dry both hands and then grab my usual spot in the service hall. PIG mum rushes back upstairs for CSS.
• Yay I get to stay seated for worship today. I sing everything, plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Tyvus; his sermon topic was "A Story Of One's Life".
• After service ended fifteen minutes early, PIG mum collected me, I used the disabled loo for one tinkle, grabbed a biscuit for morning tea and then sat outside the service hall.
• Uncle Tandy wandered over and said hi; after finishing work for Shanrex he's become a support worker for a company sth like (but not) Anglicare!
• Suddenly dad tries to make me leave with him to lunch! I refuse, since today's my lunch out once every two months out with all the other ESS people. Luckily Dr. Lee's standing slightly in front of me; I walk over to him, ask are there any lunch plans yet and when Dr. Lee replies yes ask next will you please take me?
• Phew Dr. Lee does; today lunch's @ Mien, the Korean-style Chinese food place where Runcorn Plaza Hot Bread was formerly!
• I order orange fried chicken with one bowl of rice: delicious! <3 Thanks to Bernard who pours me a cup of water and grabs me a fork from the drawer built into the side of the table since he's seated @ the end.
• Lol I eat so slowly everyone else leaves! I ask should I shovel the rest into my gob but Bernard says nah, take your time. 
• Angie sat beside me eating some kinda seafood pasta and we chatted; she's doing 3rd year architecture @ uni! I told her that my respect for her has gone up one million levels: I was the useless flunk that got a D+ in grade eight high school graphics! XD
• Lunch finished, Bernard hands me back Sticky and walks behind me back to his car. During the drive home I tell him Uncle Tandy came over and said hi; would he remember which company he's doing carer work for now? Not Anglicare but sth like that ... whoops, Bernard doesn't remember either.  XD
• PIG mum's still out socialising with her aunty friends; it's dearest dad who opens the door for me. Back inside, I use the loo for one more tinkle and then walk myself slowly and safely back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: 11am appointment to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage; bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD
• She says we can grocery shop before coming home for lunch with dearest dad so should have passed 1000 steps before Monday ends.
• Have just emailed Michelle asking her to fill the TBAs in my roster for this week.
• Anyways, hopefully bbl after dinner else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead! 
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 600c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4130. Sweet I'm over four grand; that doesn't happen very often! Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post I started reading and sharing 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. Actually, the special thing's that I'm finally joining other ESS people for lunch! Unsure why dad made up the odd rule that I can only have lunch out with other church peoples only once every TWO MONTHS while he and PIG mum get to enjoy morning/arvo tea with their mates EVERY WEEK, but hey. Hope someone chooses somewhere with copious amounts of good food!
• The Broncos are playing @ 2pm;  unsure why Nine's not showing it?
• Then fingers crossed that dad will take us out for dinner @ some restaurant; that'll be only the first time I've been lucky enough to have both lunch and dinner out, and we're nearly halfway through the year!
• Anyways, looking forward to  seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 600b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3960 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Real Thing'. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• PIG mum got dad too start dinner without me; I joined after the news had finished.
• Dinner tonight: rice, leftovers from the cooking Dorrie and I did yesterday and one piece of delicious BBQ duck that dearest dad brought back for me!
• After dinner, I helped PIG mum make tuna buns! Actually, the tuna hasn't appeared yet, but I measured and added ingredients.
• Before returning online, I walked myself slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Righteo, hopefully bbl  after one last tinkle with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening Sunday, else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 600

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3614 steps (ha, I'm over 3.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Grace Is Pardon - And Power!'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Understanding The Word 'Imputed' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Steadfast In God's Will." Anyways, events for today?

• Nature called once around 12:15am; after another pot :P trip following the Sun's rising I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Daddy Bear and I cuddle and happily cuddle and snore. After nature calls again, following another pot :P trip, 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*
• More happy cuddling and snoring from Daddy Bear and me, PIG mum's daily noisy a-THUMPING around waking me for one more loo trip around 9:15am. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before returning outside and awaiting Catherine's arrival @ 9:30am.
• Once PIG mum lets Catherine in, Catherine enters my room and bids me good morning. When I flop Daddy Bear's paw @ her she goes fifteen more minutes, okay? Another paw flop from Daddy Bear and she wisely removes herself, phew, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
• Dunno did Catherine forget to come back but after I'd used the pot :P for one tinkle and got kitted I headed out to the bathroom to brush teeth while Catherine went hunting for Wally since 'twas already 10am!
• After brushing teeth, I drank one tall mug of water before sitting 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 Catherine and munch my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast plus a very thin layer of avocado. I drink my first big mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey, pop all my usual drugs :P and happily read for thirty minutes first up, FINISHING THE BOOK @ 10:33! The Great Dragon Zoo Of China was beside me; I just grabbed that and continued reading, finishing pg. 325 @ exactly 10:40.
• While Catherine closed and locked windows, I used the loo for one tinkle and then climbed into the passenger seat of Catherine's car. Thanks to her who helped me with my seatbelt all day. She tootled us off to Underwood MarketPlace, parking round the side and grabbing a trolley for us.
• Unsure why PIG mum didn't want any groceries from Woolies? We just bought a big mug from Big W (to replace the one Dorrie accidentally dropped yesterday) and my honey chicken sushi roll for arvo tea.
• Back home I took a nice hot 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 was maybe one bowl of rice leftovers but thanks to Catherine who made me two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey!
• After one more tinkle, Catherine tootled me too church to play table tennis with dearest dad before she returned to Big W and bought the cup and honey chicken sushi again since she forgot to put them back into the carboot while I climbed back into the car! XD
• For the first time ever, I played three times straight before breaking! Usually dad and I play together once before breaking and sometimes we play twice together before breaking but today after having played twice suddenly Uncle Simon goes let's play! Aww, he's so hark hei~ I possibly could've played a 4th match straight but for nature calling! XD
• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat to munch arvo tea (Catherine brought me another honey chicken sushi roll but PIG mum didn't lemme know even though she said she would XD), drink one huge mug of green tea and hopefully read for another two hours and ten minutes since it's only Saturday that I can  read for three hours! I reached pg. 275 @ 2:48pm, finished pg. 300 @ 3:07pm, found the book title on pg. 306 and FINISHED THE BOOK @ 3:23! Continuing reading (author interview, etc.), I reached pg. 525 @ 3:31, finished the author interview @ 3:47pm and FINALLY FINISHED EVERYTHING @ 3:40! Have messaged PIG mum asking her please to grab me a new book to read toms; hope she will!
• One more tinkle for me before plopping online.
• At 5:30pm I walked myself slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 105TH time.
• Toms: just church, nothing special. Actually, the special things that I'm gonna have lunch out with other ESS peoples toms! Unsure why dad made the rule that I can only join for lunch once every two MONTHS while he and PIG mum enjoy meals out with their mates WEEKLY but I'm looking forward to it!
• But come 2pm hopefully I'm watching the Broncos play the Sharks!
• Then should dad take us out for our once-weekly family dinner together out, will that be the first time this year I've been lucky enough to have both lunch and dinner out?? We're nearly halfway through 2025!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl,  else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 600c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 3510. Ha, I'm literally just over 3.5 grand. XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• Lol, PIG mum was so eager to gleefully force poor Ela on one set of those FitMi exercises for her she came over five minutes early! Hence why I ended the previous post and shared Facebook memories until 8:30pm exactly.
• Tonight doing one set took about twenty-four minutes. After PIG mum returned the keyboard and Wally to me, I spent the remaining six-odd minutes continuing to read and share Facebook memories.
• At 9pm I walk 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: it's Catherine minding me from 9:30am! PIG mum says we can go to Underwood Marketplace to buy my arvo tea sushi roll; wonder will she also lemme buy a new big mug from Big W to replace the one Dorrie accidentally broke today? Lol she nearly gave me a heart attack; think she was gonna rinse out the big mug but instead she dropped it? I was facing the stove but heard the smash and Dorrie screech; I immediately screeched too "Dorrie are you okay?!" She wails back "Sorry I broke your cup!" I quickly reply, "But are YOU okay?!" Phew she was! When she bends down and starts picking up shattered cup pieces PIG mum suddenly appears. I quickly say broken cup, mum. Dorrie dropped it but don't worry, she's not hurt.
• Once Dorrie leaves PIG mum feeds me arvo tea (one juicy orange/mandarin; I trade one slice of either with her), one plain cracker and one big mug of powdered HK-style milk tea.
• I happily read the book club novel for one hour, finishing pg. 400 @ 4:06pm.
• Whoops less than ten minutes left, so just super-briefly:
• Watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 104TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• Ate what I cooked with Dorrie this arvo for dinner.
• Toms: Catherine's minding me from 9:30; PIG mum says we can go walkies @ Underwood  MarketPlace and she'll drop me off @ church for table tennis with dearest dad before leaving.
• Looking forward to my two big mugs of white tea with one big spoonful of honey and hoping to read for three hours; will skip watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 105TH time for that!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
