  • After I used up the most important two hours of the day, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat @ the gobbling :P table and asked dad for some arvo tea.

Thursday Post 564

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2012 steps (ha, I'm just over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Jesus Prays For Us'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'A Prayer From Addiction' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's ' A Humble Thanksgiving'. 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! 
  • Presuming I've got OT toms arvo?
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl,  else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • I'm impressed with the accessibility; there's plenty of disabled parks available plus ramp access! We bump into some coordinator on the way in, and once inside (thank goodness for aircon) we're immediately given stick nametags.
  • Immediately I head towards the craft table; we're making houses! I choose the BIGGEST trunk base (for dearest dad) and then glue down various ornaments~
  • Afterwards, Sylvia and I pick a table to sit at. How embarrassing:  I initially don't recognise Jane! *cringe* XD She's there with a non-verbal patient who's wheelchair-bound and needs feeding.
  • Karina joins our table! Her client's an able-bodied man; wonder what his disability is?
  • Aww I don't win any of the three rounds of bingo played! The first round was just one line; the second round called for two lines and the final round required the top and bottom lines! But Jane and her client won one round!
  • Sylvia took me once to the loo before we joined the line for lunch: 'twas a roast! Chicken, pork and turkey! I remembered to get some roast potatoes, roast carrots and roast broccoli; I also asked for lotsa gravy and Jane grabbed me a few pieces of crackling, yum!
  • Best of all, there was even dessert! I chose the mud cake and Sylvia chose the pavlova; I offered to swap some, but Sylvia just said no thanks and gave me some pavlova anyway!
  • And that was the party! Some awards were given along with claps; when we left Michelle said she looked forward to receiving my XMas Greeting! I've not even thought about penning them yet but they're due out Dec. 11th!

Friday Post 526

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding only 856 steps (since I've used Sparkless3 today but hopefully I've reached 1000 before the night's out XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's "Five Reason's Death's Gain"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'God Wants To Work Through You (1) and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'God Watches Over Us' but fifthly and way most importantly,  I'm really still owed FORTY-FOURMINUTES online  after dinner tonight!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Aww, was hoping for an awesome sleep last night considering I'd walked more steps usual, but nature still randomly called around 12:45am! *sigh* Never mind; 'twas a sound sleep aside from that~
  • 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* .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
  • Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P when dearest dad lets himself into my room, kisses me good morning and gives me some eye goo.
  • After dad lets the new carer in, they knock and say good morning. After I nod Mini Pearl @ them, dad says Sylvia will help me up in fifteen more minutes, okay? This time, Mini Pearl just flicks 'shoo' @ them and they thankfully leave; phew, since Mini Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
  • Aww, Sylvia actually knocks after fifteen minutes and asks am I ready for her to come inside and help me up yet? I was tempted to feign sleep but decided against it, since I was attending the CODA Christmas party today!
  • I sit up, introduce myself and use the pot :P for one more tinkle before we get me kitted. I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth, sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table with Sylvia.
  • Breakfast is one dry (no honey) Weet-Bix sprinkled lightly with some bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-) and Minus :P with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread with avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • After breakfast, Sylvia covers both arms and my face with sunscreen then accompanies me back to the bathroom then returns to the kitchen and washes the breakfast 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 Sylvia's car, she kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt and then she tootles me off to the Mt. Gravatt Bowls club for the CODA Christmas party!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 5940. Sorry, not quite six grand; another day, surely! XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

Thursday Post 526c

 Good evening again! Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 5801. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

  • Once the news ended, I called out and asked dad please to summon me when dinner was ready, repeating the reminder @ 7:1`5pm and 7:30pm.
  • When dad announced dinner was ready @ 7:44pm, 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 topped with a blanket of boiled lettuce and soup carrot.
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening Friday, else wishing everyone has a smashing end to thew week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Thursday Post 526b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's probable final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 5636 (sweet I'm more than half a normal person today) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Faith Over Feelings'. Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

  • After enjoying my most important two hours online of the day, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat @ the gobbling: p table to read for one hour and munch  arvo  tea.
  • Only I hadn't read for very long when dad suddenly decided he needed to go to Uncle Colbert's and demanded I come with! "Dad I can't!" I protested. "I'm already wearing pajamas!" Dad just sticks an extra top over me and orders I come with anyway.
  • Only Aunty Winnie's there too and in a chatty mood! I pause the reading and oblige; also, apologising profusely that I'm not decent (no bra and already wearing pajamas) but she's a sweetheart and waves it away saying I can't see anything.
  • Then I mix up Uncle  Colbert with Sam! I   take  after dad  and have terrible facial  recognition; Uncle Colbert wasn't directly facing me and they've got  similiar buils; I just glanced and presumed it was Sam!! >< Uncle Colbert  was delighted. XD
  • Back home, I used the loo once then  happily watched the news.
  • All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's, read by Melissa Fownes and Joel Dry) for the 229TH time: Jackson, McKeown, Douglass, Haq-teya (first name, heard), Gripske (heard), Cavallaro, Cresta (first  name), ichardson, Rawlings, Taufua, Zimmer (heard), Faucett (heard), Bavas, Irving, Crisafulli, D’Alessandro, Miles, Bleijie, Watt, Croucher, McIntosh, Hanson-Young, Nicholls (heard), Djodan, Swann, Haddin, Hunter,  Khawaja (heard), Wood (heard),  Tedesco (heard),Green (heard), Webster (heard), Guan,Labuschahne (heard),Urban (heard),Train (heard), Dare (heard)Geran,   Mooney, Balme,Trump, Zeke (first name), Jakob (heard), Funk (heard),Patterson,Grant (heard), Tonkin,Portman, Makenna (first name), Baily,O’Connor,Weidler (heard),Epstein and Zahos. Effie Zahos read the finance report (1AUD = 64.86USc), Adam Jackson read the sports report and Garry Youngberry read the weather report from Kangaroo Point. Brisbane was 20-29 today. Brisbane toms: 21-30.


  • Toms: CODA Christmas party!!   :D Christmas parties are one of   my most  favourite things about Christmas and hopefully I'll attend several this year!
  • Michelle emailed me saying Sylvia's taking me but the roster says Jane? Doesn't matter; provided I attend and get personal care support afterwards; doesn't matter who comes! 
  • Lol I may even get outta OT toms (so won't mention it. XD)
  • Anyways,  hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a  smashing end to the week toms!

Thursday Post 627

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4868 steps (so will hopefully reach half a normal person before the day's out XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'We All Need Help'; thirdly, TWFT topic's '7 Worry-Conquering Scriptures' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Imposter Syndrome'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Unsurprising I didn't have an awesome night's sleep last night; I couldn't reach PIG mum!! >< Nature called once around 12:30am; after another pot :P trip following  the Sun's rising, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • Nature calls again around 9am, shortly before dearest dad comes into my room and gives me some eye goo.
  • After Karina arrives @ 7:30am, she knocks, pushes open the door and says, "Good morning, Emily, hitting the snooze button for fifteen more minutes ..." Mini Pearl nods @ her and she wisely removes herself; phew, since he's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
  • When Karina 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. Thanks to Karina who's squirted some toothpaste for me. Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Karina, grousing @ her for AGAIN skipping breakfast. >< XD
  • Breakfast is one bowl of healthy cereal (Weet-Bix and Minus :P) with one slice of thick-cut toast spread with avocado and sprinkled with salt, one full cup of water, all my usual drugs :P and one cup of white tea with two teaspoonfuls of sugar. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • After breakfast, Karina accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing up the breakfast stuff. Over the loo, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
  • After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Karina's car and she tootles me off to Breathe. Thanks to her who kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt both ways.
  • Aww, I feel loved: Connor came out and greeted me when I entered the business! Usually, Connor ignores me unless I've got my monthlies and then he comes sniffing since he smells the blood. XD
  • Physio   today: twenty-eight lap walsking, 3.542km bike ride, forty step-ups for Erf with left weight shift, forty v-bar cable rows with both hands, forty leg extensions for Elf, forty leg curls for Elf and boxing! Plus seven minutes Elf popliteal fossa massage and three minutes theragun!
  • After one loo trip (I think CZ258 unlocks the female toilet and I use the ambulant cubicle) Karina tootled me home and I took 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 yummy tuna in tomato and onion toasted sandwich with TWO cheese and one massive mug of white tea sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar.
  • At 1:15pm I signed Karina off with my thanks and byes; she's back next Thursday but I'll see her @ the CODA Christmas party toms!
  • Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day I'll use the loo for one tinkle then head over to the gobbling :P table to munch  arvo tea and read for one hour.
  • Tonight's ice cream night, yay! Dad gives slightly more than mother does. XD
  • Toms: Jane's down to mind me from 9:30am till 4pm but Michelle emailed yesterday saying  Sylvia's taking me to the CODA Christmas party! Unsure why Christmas parties are starting in November, but fingers crossed for a proper meal @ the sports club and that I'll win a prize hamper! Also hope Jane/Sylvia will see me showered before leaving and hopefully I'll skip OT?  XD 
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl  else wishing everyone a smashing end to  the week  toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 627

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1526 steps (ha, I'm just over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Piercing Power Of The Word'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Laugh More Often' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Just Pray' but  fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY  MINUTES online after I get back home tonight!! *sigh* But just briefly, events for today?

  • Yay, for the first time in three days, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 5:25am; with Winter vanquished for another year, I love how early the Sun rises now!
  • Jane minded me from 9:30am till 12:30pm; after helping me 8p, I had breakfast   and did a stinky unspeakable before we went to the ALDI @ Underwood Market and bought groceries. Unsure why all their self-serve checkouts are card only?
  • Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle and Jane made me a tomato and onion tuna toastie with TWO cheese cut into four squares for lunch plus another big mug of   English breakfast tea although sadly without sweetener. I signed her off with my thanks and byes @ midday but she's back @ 1:30pm and taking me to table tennis!
  • Jane will see me home and showered before leaving @ 6:30pm; when she goes I'll use the  loo for two tinkles then be  seated by the door waiting for David's pickup @ 6:45pm with BYO dinner for GG Bible study.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

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

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

Anyways, events for today


  • Nature called once partway  through the night; after another pot :P trip following the Sun's rising, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking around 9am for the pot :P around 9am.
  • Since Peggy was arriving @ 9:30am, shortly before that dad lets himself into my room, kisses me good morning and gives me some eye goo.
  • After dad opens the door for Peggy @ 9:30am, he knocks, opens the door and goes "Hi, Em..." I wave Mini Pearl @ him.  When dad next says, "Peggy arrive now," I nod Mini Pearl @ her, too. Peggy laughs and says fifteen more minutes, okay." This time, Mini Pearl nods then flicks his body 'shoo'. Peggy smirks and wisely withdraws; phew, since Mini Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
  • When Peggy returns, I use the pot :P for one tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who's already squirted some toothpaste for me.
  • Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table with Peggy, who told me that she had her usual two hardboiled eggs for breakfast.
  • For me, breakfast was one bowl of healthy cereal with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread with avocado and lightly sprinkled with toast, one full cup of water, all my usual drugs :P and one delicious mug of vanilla chai, sadly without any sweetener. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay.

Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • After breakfast, Peggy slathers my face and hands with sunscreen   before accompanying me back to the bathroom then returning to the kitchen and washing up the breakfast dishes. Over the loo, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
    • After washing and drying  Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Auto (pronounced Alto) and Peggy tootles us off to Pinelands Plaza. Thanks to her who  helped me  buckle my seatbelt all day.
      Cheers,
      Em. ^^
