Friday Post 610c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 4885. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• Once Liam left, I sat down to munch arvo  tea (less than banana since dad chopped both ends off; apparently the banana was off?, one plain cracker and one big, delicious mug of New York breakfast tea) and start reading The Thursday Murder Club for one hour! Today I reached page twenty-five @ 4:04pm and I'm planning to read the book for three hours toms; it's awesome!
• Used the loo for one tinkle, plopped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 30TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of today's first post.
• When   PIG mum summoned me for dinner @ 7:19pm I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa  little tong vegetable,  lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup tomato,  lotsa soup onion and several tiny chunks of delicious pork chop.
• 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.
• When nature randomly called @ 8:20/8:40am I walked myself once slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• At 9pm I   walk myself slowly and safely once more to the loo for one last tinkle and back, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms:  Jane's minding me am till 1pm.  PIG mum says we'll buy my  arvo tea honey chicken sushi roll plus anymore groceries she wants from   Woolies; fingers crossed she'll lemme use Sparkless3 and I can WINDOW SHOP!! :D
• Jane will see me home, showered and fed with lunch  before dropping me off @ church  to play table tennis with  dearest  dad @ 1pm.
• Looking forward to  getting home and reading  all  arvo while munching my honey   chicken sushi  roll; it's  only Saturdays I   can spend a blessed three  hours  with my nose buried  in  a book!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing weeklend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 610b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4690 (4th consecutive day I'm over four grand and 2nd consecutive day I'm over 4.5 grand; woot!) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "God's Peace". Righteo,   continuing tonight's events?

• After PIG mum lets Jane inside @ 9:30am, Jane knocks, pushes open the door and calls "Good morning, Em; fifteen more minutes." Mini Pearl nods back @ her and Jane's quick; she's already shut the door and left before he can flick his body 'shoo' @ her!" XD
•  When Jane comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle and we get me kitted before I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Jane, who tells me that she had her usual breakfast smoothie for her morning meal.
• For my breakfast, I munch one bowl of healthy cereal with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*

•  After breakfast, Jane covers my face and both hands with sunscreen then accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing up the breakfast dishes. 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 Sarah (SAZ is Jane's car's license plate number XD) and Jane tootles me off to Breathe for physio. Aww, today I feel loved:  Connor greets me on arrival!

• Physio today: 1.879km bike, forty bar-assisted push-ups, forty steps for Erf, forty steps for Elf, forty v-bar cable, forty leg extensions for Elf. Forty leg curls for Elf, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing!

• After one loo trip (the toilet was already unlocked this morning, meaning Jane didn't   need to press CZ258 into the keypad) Jane tootled me off to  Rochedale  Coles to buy cooking ingredients and I used Sparkless3, meaning I got to   WINDOW SHOP!! Not that Woolies offers much in terms of window shopping. XD

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

• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was a tuna in tomato and onion toastie with TWO cheese and one big, delicious mug of New York breakfast although sadly without any sweetener since the parents have hidden it. *sigh*

• At 1:55pm I sit over the loo for two more tinkles then sign Jane off with my thanks and byes. She's back toms 9:30am till 1pm~

• When Liam arrived, he'd bought a wheelie walker for me to try using! Unsure why PIG mum was so negative about it? Sure, back in 2008 Ela was too unco to hold on, but today I walked down the hallway with Liam holding Ela and I reckon she did okay! 

• I'm just upset that my typing speed has slowed; post brain-injury I thought Era could manage 31WPM but today she only managed twenty-seven. >< Should I get into typing practice to   bring that back up?
  Cheers,
  Em.    ^^

Friday Post 610

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4465 steps (so should have passed 4.5 grand before the night's out); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's Lincoln's Providence (seems familiar?); thirdly, TWFT topic's "Live By The Principles Of God's Word" and fourthly, Our Daily devotional topic's 'Be Careful!' but fifthly   and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 30TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 5th consecutive sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:10am, and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P again around 7:45am   when dearest dad kisses me bye and retucks me back into bed, saying he's off to church/Uncle Calvin's place for work.
• Another hour's cuddling and happy snoring for Mini Pearl and me, nature calling once more around 9am just before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before returning outside and awaiting Jane's arrival @ 9:30am.
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^
  P.S.

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 4523 (third consecutive day I'm past four grand and tonight I'm even just over 4.5 grand; sweet!) but secondly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-FOUR MINUTES online should PIG mum order me off to bed @ the piss-early time of 9:45pm; argh, that's the THIRD CONSECUTIVE DAY that I've been unable to have the ENTIRETY of THE MOST IMPORTANT TWO HOURS OF THE DAY ONLINE!! >< Grr, just very briefly, final, final events for tonight?

Why I always check that I have a flat surface to walk over: today Vien had me walking over the double red mats and stepping over blocks; Erf cleared it but stupid Elf clipped it when going over; I hopped several times on Erf and would have faceplanted has not Vien caught me! o_O

• After publishing the previous post, I returned to sharing my Facebook memories but @ 8:45pm decided to play Crazy Manor Match instead. XD
• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

Monday Post 609c

 Good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3230. Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• When Jacinta announced her arrival one minute late, thanks to PIG mum who let her in, thus saving me from a potentially dangerous trip to the front door myself.
• I've not seen Jacinta since last year; gosh her hair's gone all fluffy! But her biggest news: @ the end of 2026, her and her partner are moving interstate! She's only twenty-four~
• So a nice warm shower for me - hairwash today. Also thanks to   Jacinta who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 609b

 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 2855 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Are You Glad You Are Not God?'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Accepting And Appreciating Your Physical Appearance' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'How The Proud Fall' but fifthly  and way most importantly, I'm really  still owed THIRTEEN MINUTES online after Jacinta minds me for two hours and I  watch the 6pm news  bulletin (Nine's) for the  28TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, what better way than to start the week then with an awesome sleep last night? Nature didn't  call until 6:45am 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*

•  Pearl, Cherry and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking 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 absolutely nothing bar the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately pulling on the tee immediately then giving myself fifteen more minutes first.

• PIG mum returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth.  That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then   walk myself slowly   and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• Breakfast is one/two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P, all my usual drugs :P and one full cup of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*

• After breakfast 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. 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 the old car (still haven't sat in the new car yet!) and buckle my own seatbelt (what I did all day). PIG mum tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage and cool, I get to listen to 97.3FM all day!

• At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle then lie down for some acupuncture and massage. PIG mum's in her element, yapping unceasingly @ Ray; my thanks to him who always replied and kept a conversation flowing. PIG mum was excited like usual; today she repeated one syllable four times and another six before moving on. XD For, me, like usual, my favourite's the shoulder CPR~

• After one more loo trip, PIG mum tootles us back to buy groceries @ the Warrigal Square Woolies. Frustration's that she 'forgot' to bring my parking permit, even though I'm CERTAIN that I reminded her about it this morning! >< Well, she 'claims' I didn't? Instead, she parked @ the VERY END of the parking strip then we went into Woolies and bought milk, soup pork and one more item I've since forgotten.

• Back home, dad had oven-baked pizza for our lunch and I enjoyed 2.5 very thin slices! Hardly filling, but hey; I enjoyed a proper meal out with all my ESS peers yesterday~

• After lunch I happily played my newest version of Bejeweled for thirty minutes, even though I had TWO HOURS of free lives!

• @ 1:45pm, I used the loo for one more tinkle, plopped online and did the daily Bible readings before going online for myself.

• Jacinta's minding me from 4-6 today; think it's the first time this year she's looked after me!

• Hoping to read Leanne's book for one hour and watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 28TH time!

• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Sunday Post 609d

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3735. 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: presuming I'll see Ray for some acupuncture and massage but it's too early to ask him for a red packet since it's not CNY till the 17th!
• Hopefully PIG mum can take me aisle walking and grocery shopping before she hurries off for her pool yoga class else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
• Also hoping Michelle replies toms morning about who's minding me 4-6pm toms else I've gotta ring and ask! But hoping to read Madam Hippo's book for another hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 28TH time!
• Righteo, wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3645 (ha, I'm over 3.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Forbearance'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• When the parents called time for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle, climbed into the backseat of the old car and buckled my own seatbelt.
• Like previous Sunday's, we ate dinner @ Ho Lin Wah. Pity the set meals didn't suit me today, but clever dad gave me some rice untouched by the spicy mapo  tofu sauce, and I enjoyed about half a bowl of yummy fried chicken  udon. I also had like 1.5 deep-fried cuttlefish balls, drank half the set soup, one cup of Chinese tea and just over one mouthful of the hot HK-style milk tea. 
• Back home, 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 brb following one more loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Heylo   again, good afternoon again and potentially one final greeting for today! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3018. Ha, I'm just over three grand. XD Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• I was sharing my Facebook memories when I hit the two-hour mark, so I used the loo for one tinkle, asked PIG mum for some arvo  tea then continued sharing my Facebook memories using my mobile while munching one adorable little sugar banana, one plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea.
• At 4:30pm I asked and received permission to go take a shower.
• So a nice warm shower for me  - I wash and rinse my   own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sing 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud. Actually, I'm all done after only 10%, but happily lean against the right side rail and water myself for another tinkle before tapping the nice warm water off and calling PIG mum back.
• Since PIG mum won't even dry my back for me anymore, once she dried the back of the chair for me, 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 doing up.
• After I dried the loo seat, I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped both feet dry, washed and dried Era and walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Righteo, hopefully bbl tonight after dinner, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 409

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2739 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Eleventh-Hour Breakthroughs'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Be An Optimist (2) and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'When Love Shows Up'. Anyways, events for today?

• Nature called once @ 1:50am; after another pot :P trip @ 6:50am I immediately tried falling back asleep since I knew PIG mum would get very noisy ten minutes later!
  
• Success; I didn't wake until she opened my bedroom door! After PIG mum hit me with the eye goo and helped exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap, she left me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first. Whilst doing so, 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*
• PIG mum comes back 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 to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• Breakfast was one of the yummy polo buns I helped PIG mum make yesterday! I also popped all my usual drugs :P and drank one tall cup of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, 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. 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,  I  hike up  the ramp, use the 3rd cubicle of the female toilets (since the disabled and first two cubicles of the female toilets have lids down but horrid PIG mum won't help me left it), wash  and dry both  hands then  grab my usual spot for  service on the most left.
• Yay I get to stay seated for service today~ I sing everything, plus the harmony for four songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Tyvus; his sermon was about the walls of Jericho and service ended twenty minutes early today.
• After PIG mum collected me, I used the toilet for another tinkle and then headed around to the back since morning tea was held behind the service hall today! Unsure why?
• I munched one little pack of Arnott's bikkies, drank one small paper cup of unsweetened tea and had a chat with dear Grammy Wan; is she really ninety-five?!
• My first proper meal out since dad's birthday @ the end of last month: Dr. Lee gave me a lift to Mr. J's, the Japanese restaurant @ the end of Warrigal Square!
• We took three tables; I sat with Dr. Lee, Dr. Esther, David and two others. For lunch I had the cheese pork katsu, yum! Table water for everyone~
• Dr. Lee dropped off two boys off @ the local gym before driving us to lunch and he dropped me home afterwards only nobody was home! I sat on the bench outside the garage and told him I'd be fine only Dr. Lee rang PIG mum to check. XD Unsure why reception wasn't any good?
• Dad arrived home soon after they left and PIG mum was right behind him.
• I used the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era then walked myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: late morning appointment to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage; can I ask him for a red  acket/pocket yet? It's CNY soon, surely!
• PIG mum says we can buy groceries and walk aisles before coming home for lunch with dearest dad~
• Tomorrow's 4-6pm shift's still TBA; may  haveta ring Michelle toms and ask~
• But looking   forward to reading Leanne's book for one hour and watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 28TH time after I watch today's for the 27TH!
• Anyways, hopefully  bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 409b

 Heylo again, good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding for Saturday now stands @ 2730. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• While I used the loo for two more tinkles Sharon closes and locks windows.
• Sharon tootles me off to church to play table tennis with   dearest dad~ Amazingly, she's lets me use Sparkless3 to head into the playing room! Obviously, dad immediately orders me outta the wheelchair once I arrive. XD
• But we have great fun playing; dad not only lets me win in straight sets; I even get to win the final set he wants to save face!! XD
• Back home, I use the loo for one tinkle then sit @ the gobbling :P table to munch my yummy honey chicken arvo  tea sushi roll and read Leanne's book. I reached pg. 300 @ exactly 3:20pm, reached pg. 222 @ 3:51, finished pg. 225 @ 3:54pm and reached pg. 250 @ exactly 4:40pm.
• After using the loo for one tinkle I popped online, finished my daily Bible readings then happily   watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 26TH time.

Brisbane was 20-30 today. Brisbane toms: 22-30. Mt. Gravatt toms: 21-30. Sunrise 5:26am  Sunset  6:38pm

  
  

• When PIG mum summoned me to dinner @ 7:21pm I walked myself once slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle then 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 yummy   cauliflower,  lotsa soup potato,  lotsa soup tomato, lotsa soup carrot, one piece of fish and three little chunks of beef.

• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• At  9pm I walked myself 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. Actually, the special thing's I'll FINALLY get to  join EM for lunch!! :D That'll be the first proper meal I've enjooyed out since dad's birthday dinner @ the  end of LAST MONTH; a perfect way  to    start  my pre-birthday   celebrations! :D

• And should dad take us out  for our once-weekly  family  dinner tonight it'll already be the 2nd time this year I've been lucky   enough to  have both lunch  and dinner out!

• Righteo, looking  forward to  seeing everyone @ church toms!

Saturday Post 409

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2652 steps (ha, I'm over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Reviled Here, Rewarded There'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Be Optimistic (1)'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Fountains/Drains?' and fifthly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Fight Of Faith but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-NINE MINUTES online after I visit the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, for the first time in three days, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:20am and after one pot :P  trip I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking for the pot :P   again   around 7:45am. After this second 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*
• Around 9:30am PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and say fifteen more minutes since Sharon's not arriving until 9:45am.
• Once Sharon arrives, I use the loo for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I drink one tall cup 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 Sharon.
• Breakfast is my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly smeared with avocado, my first mug of white tea sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar, all my usual drugs :P and another tall mug of water. Over and after breakfast, I happily read Two Can Play That Game for thirty minutes, finishing pg. 150 @ 10:38am.
• After Sharon slathers my face and both arms with sunscreen, I use the loo for one more tinkle while she closes and locks windows.
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Sharon's car.  She kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt (as she does all day) and then tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace, finding parking around the side and grabbing a trolley for us.
• First, we buy milk from Woolies. Hambo's @ the checkouts and he even slips me a free LEGO bricks pack after I explain milk doesn't cost thirty bucks, but will he please round up and pass me one anyway?? XD :D
• Back home, I take a nice warm shower - hairwash  today. Also thanks to Sharon who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• 'Twas Sharon who explained to me last fortnight after my shower what's the point of showering if after you're dried, creamed and redressed you're exactly as sweaty and sticky   as you were before you started the shower?? Sharon laughed and explained:  new sweat. What you washed off was old sweat. XD
• Lunch was one bowl of rice leftovers (thanks to Sharon who mixed some oyster sauce into it to make it tasty) and two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with   two teaspoonfuls of sugar. I happily read for forty more minutes, reaching pg. 175 @ 12:33pm.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• After publishing the previous post I read and shared the She Reads Truth daily devotional.
• At 9pm I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: Sharon's minding me from 9:45am till 1pm; will remind PIG mum to gimme fifteen more minutes @ 9:30am and I'll get up when Sharon arrives @ 9:45am.

Friday Post 409c

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 5079 (ha, apparently, I'm just over half a normal person today; that's rare! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Be Confident'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was one bowl of rice leftovers (thanks to Jane who added some oyster sauce to give them taste) and one mug of white tea, sadly without any sweetener.
• At 1:55pm I sat once more over the loo for two tinkles and then @ 2pm I signed Jane off with my thanks and byes; she's back next Wednesday and taking me to table tennis!
• Ela did some unfunctional exercises with Ari the new OT assistant; she's only twenty!

• Watched the 6pm news (Nine's) bulletin for the TWENTY-FIFTH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner @ 7:21pm, 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: not rice, but  yeung cheun noodles! Thankfully PIG mum had given me rice for lunch else I'd be fretting. XD That was with lotsa soup tomato, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup onion and like two/three thin slices of chewy beef.
• 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 with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 409b

 Heylo again, goood evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 4872. Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• Physio today: 1.691km bike ride, forty steps for Erf with left weight shift, forty bar-assisted push-ups, forty v-bar cable rows, forty leg extensions for Elf, forty leg curls for Elf, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing! We arrived early, meaning I had like five minutes to play the newest version of Bejeweled I'm currently playing; when Winnie came for me @ 11am I immediately showed her the AFO photo Peter sent me!
• After one loo trip, (CZ258 unlocks the female toilets but it'd been left unlocked this morning), Jane tootled us off to  Rochedale Coles to buy groceries and grabbed a trolley for us. She's unsure should I sit on the self-serve checkout platform where you put your scanned items, but I tell her I've never had any problem and sit.
• Back home, I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Jane who rinses  out my   hair for me,  thus freeing Era to  hold my  stupid right eye tightly shut.
• 
  

Friday Post 409

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4796 steps (sweet I'm even over 4.5 grand; that happens even less frequently than four grand! XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic last night's 'The Main Purposes Of Ministry'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Let's Honour One Another" fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Small Beginnings" and fifthly, Joni's devotional topic's "In God's Hands" (seems familiar?) but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-FOUR MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the TWENTY-FIFTH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Hmph, you'd think after enduring an 1.5hr session of physio yesterday I'd score an awesome sleep last night, but idiot nature called @ 12:4tam! Never mind, 'twas still a sound sleep otherwise. *sigh*
• After the first  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 once more for the pot :P around 9am, just 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 before returning outside and awaiting Jane's arrival @ 9:30am.
• After PIG mum opens the front door for Jane, Jane knocks, pushes open the bedroom door and says "Em? Fifteen more minutes, okay? Oh, good morning." Mini Pearl nods @ her and then flicks his body 'shoo'. Jane smirks and wisely withdraws; phew, since Mini Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
• After Jane comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth, before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Jane, who said she'd had her usual breakfast smoothie for breakfast.
• For my breakfast I get one/two (hopefully two but it looked like one) dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P, 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 Jane slathered my fac and both hands with sunscreen, she accompanied me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing 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, before climbing into the passenger seat of Jane's car, I brace against it and she kindly takes a photo for me with the old car in the front; see, today the parents were taking it over to Springwood and trading it in! While I never drove this car, I voiced for it frequently, since it suffers from anxiety like me! Whenever PIG mum drives him, he's always beeping and wailing when his motion sensors detect anything approaching! XD
• Jane tootles me off to Breathe for physio; as usual, we're early so I've got like seven minutes to play my newest downloaded version of Bejeweled before heading in.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

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 lunch, 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. 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. She tootles us down to Warrigal Square where we buy groceries from Woolies and bump into Kat again!
• Back home, I use the loo for one tinkle then boot the computer up and read today's Bible passages.
• When I was summoned over for lunch I headed over to the dining table but have forgotten what I ate! XD Maybe rice leftovers? XD
• Five minutes before Louisa's arrival time, I went and sat over the loo for two tinkles.
• SPs @ the NAB today: Thirty seconds of sit-to-stands, sensation test for arms, four laps walking over coloured strips, six laps short hallway walking with cognitive test and two TUG tests . Juju was supervising today and she was so sweet; she even brought me two little paper cups of water to drink after exercises~
• After sitting over the loo for two tinkles, Louisa tootled me home and I happily played Crazy Manor Match while she was stuck in peak hour traffic. XD
• Got home and took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Louisa who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. Think I've said before: she's only twenty-two, studying social work @ some college in the city and from Sudan~
• Dried, creamed and rekitted,  arvo tea was two plain crackers, one cute really sweet mandarin and one huge mug of delicious vanilla chai; just pity Louisa couldn't find any sweetener! Happiness was reading Two Can Play That Game for one hour; today I reached seventy-five @ 5:08 and may even have found two more mistakes! XD
• Around 4pm I signed Louisa off with my thanks and byes; think she's back same time next Thursday?
• Reading finished, I used the loo for one tinkle, plopped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 24TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa dearest dad's home-grown hairy melon,  lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup tomato and two small pieces of soup pork.
• 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, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Righteo, hopefully  bbl after one last loo trip @ 9pm  with my final,  final plodding total for today, the final, final  events for tonight plus what's happening Friday else wishing everyone a smashing  end to their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  

   

Thursday Post 409c

 Good afternoon and potentially one final greeting for today! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 4191 (sweet, I'm over four grand; that doesn't happen very often!) but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 24TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Aww, I would've thought playing two sessions of table tennis yesterday would've tired me out enough to score an awesome night's sleep, but nature interrupted around 12:45am? Doesn't matter; 'twas a sound sleep apart from that~
• After the first daylight pot :P trip I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once again for the pot :P   around 7:45am and once more around 98am just before PIG mum begins her noisy daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately pulling the tee on first then giving myself fifteen more minutes.
• PIG mum returns 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 briefly over the loo, 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.

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 6:20am, and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied.

•  Heylo again, good evening and probably one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's probable final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 4212 (sweet I'm over four grand; that doesn't happen very often!) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Inside Stories' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY-ONE MINUTES online should PIG mum really order me off to bed @ the piss-early time of 9:45pm!! >< *sigh* But just super-briefly, events for today?
• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't   call until 6:20am~

 Good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2540. Ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post and sharing today's Facebook memories, I went back to the gobbling :P table to finish The Horse Whisperer; I'm almost @ the end!

  Cheers,

Monday Post 639c

 Good evening again! Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2397. Anyways, continuing today's events?

• Lunch was yummy if disappointingly tiny: two wee slices of oven-baked pizza and one huge mug of delicious Chinese tea.
• Lunch finished, I randomly opened the HP version of Bejeweled and was suddenly awarded forty-five minutes of free lives so happily played that! 
• After taking the cup over to the sink I used the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era then walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Having emailed Michelle for this week's TBAs last Saturday and getting a reply that she's working on it, I emailed her again after lunch, saying I really need support with personal care today, especially since I didn't get any yesterday! Phew she replied saying Jane will come 4:30pm till 6pm.
• Even better, dad was inside the garage when Jane arrived, and she just walked inside through the garage door.
• So a nice warm shower for me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Jane who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and  rekitted, arvo tea was one yummy banana, one tasty cracker and one delicious mug of New York breakfast (unfortunately without any sweetener) since the green tea bag Jane originally made for me broke and she couldn't find anymore! XD
• Happiness is reading The Horse Whisperer for one hour - and I've nearly finished it!  Today I finished pg. 375 @ 5:08pm, finished pg. 400 @ 5:09pm and finished part four @ 5:51pm!
• At 5:55pm I used the loo for two more tinkles then signed Jane off with my thanks and byes. She's back on Wednesday for table tennis!
• Happily watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 22ND time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa dearest dad's home-grown hairy melon, lotsa snake beans and two/three wee pieces of yummy chicken.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowlful of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Anyways, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!

Monday Post 639

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1447 steps (so must have cracked 1.5 grand before the night's out XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Included In The Covenant"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Mending Broken Relationships' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Following Jesus In Humility' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-ONE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news (Seven's) for the 22ND time. Anyways, events for today?

• Aww, my current awesome sleep streak ended this morning around 12:45am when nature called; never mind, hopefully I'll start another one immediately~
• 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*
• Since idiot Mini Pearl has wriggled himself off the bed and I can't reach him to toss him back into bed, I happily snore myself again, waking once more for the pot :P shortly before PIG mum begins her daily nois  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'd totally ignored my poor foot   last night. That's alright, Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes and let her wear her sock to sleep last night, although obviously peeled the sock off first thing this morning! XD
• PIG mum hit me with the eye goo and helped me very slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately pulling the tee on then giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• Once I've mostly independently kitted myself, I immediately call PIG mum to come finish with Elf's AFO straps and both shoelaces since it's already 9:45am! Today I don't exit the bedroom until 9:50am; must remember to spend longer over the loo tonight since I don't wanna be back in bed before twelve hours have passed.
• After I let PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth 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/two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly   sprinkled with some Minus :P, 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 walk myself 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. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage but lol, we arrive that early he's not even unlocked his gate yet! PIG mum just pulls over on the road, and we listen to her Spotify playlist for awhile until it's finally time to head inside.

• I use the loo for one tinkle before lying down for some acupuncture and massage. PIG mum was in her element, yapping unceasingly @ Ray; she wasn't very good @ controlling her excitement @ getting to yap and repeated one syllable eight times today! XD Grateful thanks to Ray who always replied and kept the conversation flowing but he initially forgot the shoulder CPR; that's my  favourite part! XD

• After another loo trip originally, we were gonna grocery shop @ Woolies and walk aisles but poor PIG mum suddenly got a tummy ache and had to return home immediately! o_O I just booted the computer up and started reading the day's Bible passages.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 639d

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3061. Ha, I'm just over three grand. XD  Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• Dad said we'd leave for dinner @ 7pm but just bef0re 7pm Cousin Winnie suddenly called him via WhatsApp video chat! 
• At 7pm I got up, saying dad it's 7pm, dinnertime; I'm going to the loo first, but when I head towards the bathroom dad demands I videochat biu jie  first!  Leaning against the wall I say hello and she says maybe she'll come visit us in Brisbane this year since she's retiring from policing! Unsure does police people have a set age for requirement like ambos in HK do?
• After sitting over the loo for one tinkle I climb into the backseat of the car. Thanks to PIG mum who kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt both ways since I've got crappy night vision post brain injury.
• Another Sunday night once-weekly family dinner from Ho Lin Wah; another frugal feed for me. I got almost (but not quite) one bowl of rice, not quite half a bowl of vermicelli and one deep-fried mantou dunked into a little condensed milk. I also   drank one cup of Chinese tea, about half the set soup and about one mouthful of HK-style milk tea.
• After dad drove us home, I walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: PIG mum'll help me up toms since I've got a late morning appointment to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Bet she's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him.
• PIG mum's said we'll grocery shop before returning home for lunch with dearest dad so I'm confident I'll have cracked one grand before the day's out.
• Still dunno who's minding me from 4-6pm toms but   have already emailed Michelle; hope she'll have replied by toms but if not, I'll ring CODA after getting home toms arvo.
• Fingers crossed I can read for another hour (should finish The Horse Whisperer soon!) and also hoping that I can watch the 6pm news for the 22ND time!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^
