Thursday Post 669b

 Heylo again, good afternoon again and potentially one final greeting for today!  Em's potential final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 1841. Unsure will I have reached two grand before the day's out? Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• After using up the most important two hours of my day, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat to enjoy the arvo tea PIG mum had kindly left me (one deliciously juicy pear, one flavoured cracker and one huge mug of green tea) and read the Horse Whisperer for one hour.  Today I reached page seventy-five @ 5:04pm and finished page seventy-five @ 5:05pm (meaning this book only takes me one minute to   read one page) and reached pg. 100 @ 5:47pm.
• Used the loo   for one more tinkle then returned online and watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 15TH time.  All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of this post.
• Righteo, hopefully  bbl  after dinner else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!

Cheers, 
Em.   ^^

Thursday Post 669

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2043 steps (ha, I'm just over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Anchor Of Joy'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Believe God For Greater Things' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'A Longing Fulfilled'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd 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*
• Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, nature calling once more shortly before 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 Louisa's arrival @ 8am.
• After PIG mum lets Louisa in, she knocks, opens the door and says Em, Louisa's here now. Fifteen more minutes. I nod Pearl @ her and then flick his body saying 'shoo'. XD
• When Louisa comes back and taps me good morning, I sit up, introduce myself and use the pot :P for three more tinkles. After we get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom before sitting over the loo for one tinkle, washing and drying Era then heading out to the gobbling :P table with Louisa.
• Breakfast is one/two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix with all   my usual drugs :P and one tall cup of   water. Whilst munching  my  healthy cereal, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• After Louisa slathers my face and both arms with sunscreen, she accompanies 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, I climb into the passenger seat of Louisa's car and she tootles me off to the Garbo library for GCCW! Thanks to her who kindly helped me buckle my own seatbelt both ways. Over the drive, I learnt that she's only twenty-one, from Kenya and is studying social work @ uni!
• At the library, I use the loo for one tinkle then discover we're back in Meeting Room   One, yay~
• Nine attend today (Beverley was new), Ken lemme  read my story   out (since I didn't get to share mine last time, but my reading was suddenly interrupted when the next meeting room burst into loud music! XD), Tammy helped me once   to the bathroom for morning tea and there was CAKE! She offered me the rest to take home but I just gulped one more slice then said no thanks since I   knew if I'd bought any home, I'd never see it again! XD Memory's our next homework topic; should I write about how I forgot poor mother/stick   to fiction like Stan wants?
• Only fifteen minutes left, so super-briefly:
• Got home, showered and ate a tuna toastie with TWO cheese for lunch for lunch.
• Signed Louisa off with my thanks and byes. She's back same time next Thursday. Wonder what we'll do?
• Hoping to watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 15TH time tonight!
• Toms:  Jane's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm. PIG mum's too sleepy to lemme know what we're doing but says she'll answer tonight.
• Presuming Dorrie will come and give Ela one hour of unfunctional hand exercises?
• Hoping to read for one hour afterwards and watch the 6pm news for   the 16TH time!
• Anyways, hopefully   bbl,  else wishing everyone a smashing  end to the week  toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 669b

 Heylo again, good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 1433 (sorry, not quite 1.5 grand; hopefully toms XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Purpose In Difficulty' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR  and THIRTEEN MINUTES online should PIG mum really   demand I hit   the  sack @ 9:45pm; argh, what  a crummy end  to an otherwise marvellous day!  >< But just noting down that this morning dad took PIG mum and I to the airport DFO and since I used Sparkless3, I got to WINDOW SHOP!! :D Bought some things, had lunch @ food court then Jane took me to table tennis! Poor Kim still couldn't attend, and she missed out on CAKE for Tim's birthday! Played table tennis again @ church with    dearest dad; when an aunty called me by name, later I  apologised saying sorry, what's your name! Shame I've got    dreadful facial recognition and wouldn't recognise Aunty Celia if I saw her again. XD Toms Louisa's taking me to GCCW; hope she's nice! Also hoping PIG mum'll let her buy me a chicken katsudon home for lunch later. Best of all, it's ice cream night toma 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 669

 Good afternoon! Isn't Summer cool: it's 6:45pm now but I'm still saying good afternoon since the Sun hasn't fully set yet; come Winter, it's pitch black come 5pm! Firstly, today I've been   hard @ work plodding 1216 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last might's 'The Battle To Remind'; thirdly, TWFT topic's  'Be An Edifier; A People Builder' and fourthly,  Our Daily  Bread's devotional  topic's 'Devine Interruptions' but fifthly  and way most importantly, I'm   really  still owed ONE HOUR and FORTY-SIX MINUTES online after  I get back home from  church  with  dearest  dad!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, for the first time in   four days, awesome sleep last night! 
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Tuesday Post 668d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final,  final plodding total for Tuesday now stands at 4955. Aw, sorry I can't be bothered to get up and plod forty-five more steps to reach half a normal person.  XD Righteo,  final,  final events for tonight?

-After publishing the previous post,  I had like ten minutes to happily play the HP version of Bejeweled and passed more levels! XD 

-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: dad says he wants to go shopping north side? Unsure for what,  but that sounds more fun than grocery shopping with PIG mum.  Xd

-Jane is taking me to table tennis at 1:30; hope that there's cake 🎂; also hoping that Kim is all better!

- Jane will see me home and showered before leaving at 6:30; fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 15TH time!

- Wonder if dad will take me to church to play table tennis with him tomorrow night?

-Righteo,  hope everyone has a smashing day toms!

Cheers, 

Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 668c

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 4807 (so won't quite make half a normal person before the night's out, sorry XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Walk By The Spirit'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• Once the news ended, I called out and asked the parents to please summon me when dinner was ready before reading and sharing the She Reads Truth   devotional before reading  and sharing  Facebook  memories.
• 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,  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Dinner tonight was bland and tasteless: rice with lots of yummy cauliflower,  lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup potato 🥔,  lotsa soup carrot,  lotsa soup tomato and several soft chunks of totally tasteless soup beef. 
• Dinner was washed down down with one big mug of soup 🍲 ; after taking the cup 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.
• Only the computer 🖥 suddenly froze on me? I knew PIG 🐖 mum would not bother to pass me my mobile so I walked myself slowly and safely over to get it and back,  always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Ooh the computer 🖥 is back on; hopefully it will work!
• Anyways,  hopefully bbl after one last tinkle at 9pm with my final,  final plodding total for Tuesday,  the final,  final events for tonight plus what is happening tomorrow,  else wishing everyone a smashing Wednesday ahead!
• Cheers, 
• Em. ^^

Monday Post 668b

Heylo again, good afternoon and potentially one final greeting for today!  Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 4643. Ha, I'm over 4.5 grand; that's even rarer than four grand! But sorry, doubt I'll reach five grand before tonight   ends. XD Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• After publishing the first post, I started reading and sharing my Facebook memories.
• Once I'd used up the most important two hours of  my  day, I used the loo  for one tinkle then  sat @ the gobbling :P table to   read  for   fifty minutes (so  hoping I'll remember to  read for ten more minutes after dinner)and munched the arvo tea PIG mum  had kindly left me before hitting pigland upstairs: about  five slices of banana with  some  delicious mango, one  plain  cracker and one huge mug of green tea.
• At 5:55pm I used the loo for one more tinkle then returned online to watch the 6pm news.
• Anyways, hopefully  bbl  after dinner, else hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 668

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4469 steps (cool I'm over four grand; that doesn't happen very often!); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'How To Serve A Bad Boss'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Your Rewards In Heaven' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Our Birthright In Christ'. Anyways, events for today?

• Nature  called once around 1:30am; 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 7:45am and 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 Peggy's arrival only to come back inside and gimme   fifteen more minutes saying Peggy's late!  That'd odd; Peggy's always very punctual and I immediately start counting down from 900 seconds, reminding PIG mum please ring CODA should Peggy have not come by 9:40am.
• Phew, Peggy arrives after I've counted down four minutes and sweet, she gives me fifteen more minutes all over again! After she comes back and I'm using the pot :P for one more tinkle I ask her was she late since she'd been stuck in traffic and she screeches back because school's only just starting for the new year, some grandparents are doing the school drop-off run and taking the scenic route! XD
• Whoops less than thirty minutes left, so just super-briefly:
• Had breakfast, did stinky unspeakable then saw Winnie for physio: 1.66km bike ride, forty bar-assisted push-ups, forty steps for Elf, forty v-bar cable rows for both hands, forty leg curls for Elf, forty leg extensions for Elf, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing!
• Used loo for one tinkle (CZ258 unlocks the female bathroom and the second rail's ambulant) then went with Peggy to Pinelands Coles to buy milk and get my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi for lunch from the Pinelands Bakehouse. Unfortunately, all the disabled parks outside Coles were taken and Peggy didn't   find a park until near the post office. *sigh*
• Got home and 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, lunch was my delicious toasted crunchy pork  bahn mi plus one huge mug of delicious vanilla chai; just pity Peggy couldn't find where the sneaky parents had hidden the sweetener! *sigh*
• Signed Peggy off with my thanks and byes @ 2pm; she's back same time next week.
• Used loo for one tinkle, popped online and did my daily Bible readings. Thanks to Peggy who left a pen for me.
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 15TH time!
• Toms: PIG mum says she'll take me out somewhere toms before coming home for lunch and then Jane's taking me to play table tennis @ 1:30pm!  Let there be cake~ XD Hope Kim's back!
• Jane will see me home and showered before leaving @ 6:30pm, hoping to watch the 6pm news for the 16TH time!
• Anyways, hopefully  bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers, 
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 668f

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3105. See? Told you I'd crack three grand! XD   Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I finalised my GCCW story for sending.
• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm. Alas that PIG mum won't lemme grab lunch with Peggy out @ Lucky Cafe for lunch; Sunday (yesterday) already marked ONE FORTNIGHT since I've enjoyed a proper meal out!! >< *sigh*
• We'll buy groceries from Pinelands Coles and get my crunchy pork bahn mi for lunch before coming home for a shower.
• Nothing happening after Peggy leaves. Christy jie  was gonna pop over with her bubs but turns out she's taking one to his swimming lesson! Another time, then~
• Looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online, reading The Horse Whisperer for one hour and watching the 6pm news for the 15TH time!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Tee hee tonight I've managed SIX posts; that's even rarer than five! XD

Monday Post 668e

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2990 (so must have cracked 3000 before tonight's out XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Lost One'.  Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• When I was summoned over for dinner @ 7:45pm, 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 yummy wombok, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup onion and several wee chunks of surprisingly tasty but chewy beef that dad demanded I eat all together.
• 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 Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^
  P.S. Tee hee I've already managed FIVE posts tonight! Yeah, that's possible some Mondays.  XD

Monday Post 668d

 Good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2802. Wonder will I have reached 3000 before Monday's out? Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• Ooh, good girl, Lorraine arrived promptly this arvo! Dad was outside in the garage, and she just came inside herself, thus saving me from a potentially dangerous trip to the front door.
• So a nice warm shower for me   -  hairwash  today.  Also thanks to Lorraine who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was one little yummy banana, one plain cracker and one huge mug of delicious vanilla chai; yay that Lorraine found the honey and added one spoonful for me! Happiness was reading The Horse Whisperer for one hour, reaching page fifty @ exactly 5:15pm and then having thirty minutes to play the HP version of Bejeweled! 
• At 5:55pm I used the loo for two more tinkles then signed Lorraine off with my thanks and byes. She's back same time next Monday.
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 14TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of the previous post.
• Toms: Peggy's minding me 9:30am till 2pm. Breathe physio's not till Thursday/Friday; wonder where she'll send us? Fingers, toes and all other appendages crossed that she'll let us grab lunch from Lucky Cafe since it opens @ 11am!
• Nothing planned after she leaves; originally Christy jie  was gonna pop over with her two bubs but turns out she can't now since Jonah has swimming lessons! Hopefully we'll arrange another day~
• Looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online, reading the Horse Whisperer for one hour and watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 15TH time!
• Righteo, hopefully bl after dinner,  else wishing  everyone a smashing  day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Monday Post 668c

 Good afternoon again! Take two: firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2516 steps (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Remedy for Pride'; thirdly, TWFT's "Salvation's A Gift" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's daily devotional topic's 'From Every Nation."  Anyways, events for today?

• I'm not surprised nature called last night; after videochatting with Aunty Nga for like twenty minutes she suddenly told me that she was running a temperature and I'm like eep, go rest!" ><
•  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 again for the pot :P @ 7:45am and 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 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 hits me with the eye goo, helps exceedingly slightly with nothing bar the bra strap and the tee (and only since I protested dad was still @ home) and then left 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 sat over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• Breakfast is one bowl of healthy cereal with all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. 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. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

• After washing and drying Era, PIG mum tootles me off to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Obviously, she gleefully forced me to buckle my own seatbelt all day; we also had to listen to her Spotify playlist all day too, since she wouldn't lemme listen to the radio.
• At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle then huge thanks to him who treated my sore back with a quick massage before I lay down for more massage and some acupuncture. PIG mum was in her element, yapping ceaselessly @ him with multiple repeated syllables; my grateful thanks to Ray who always replied and kept a conversation flowing.
• After another loo trip, PIG mum tootles us back to  Warrigal Woolies to buy groceries. It's only after she's grabbed the soup beef and we're walking down the length of the store does PIG mum suddenly  realise  her wallet's not inside her bag! o_O She puts the groceries back and we leave immediately~
• Dearest dad's home when we arrive home and phew, PIG mum immediately finds her wallet!
• I finish reading today's Bible passages and plop online briefly for (literally) a few minutes before being summoned over for lunch, which is just leftovers from last night's dinner. Unsure why we can't just enjoy one proper meal out without taking leftovers for lunch the next day?
• Lunch's spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I use the loo for one tinkle 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.

• Lorraine's minding me from 4-6pm today; she'd better arrive promptly!
• Hoping to read The Horse Whisperer for one hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 14TH time.
• Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm; fingers crossed PIG mum'll FINALLY lemme grab lunch with her @ Lucky Cafe! But if not, I suppose it's buying groceries from Pinelands Coles and grabbing a crunchy pork bahn mi   for lunch afterwards. Perhaps I can try asking for a Vietnamese iced coffee? It's like the middle of Summer now!
• Originally Christy jie was gonna pop over with bubs but PIG mum said don't since that's when Renee's cleaning but 4pm's already too late for Christy jie? Well I'm hoping for my most important two hours of the day, reading The Horse Whisperer for one hour and watching the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 15TH time!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
   Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 668d

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3236. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• Once she'd dried my back 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 tying.
• After I dried the loo seat I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped both dry, washed and dried Era then walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 13TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
•  Used the loo tinkle before climbing into the car.
• Our once-weekly family dinner together out was back @ Ho   Lin   Wah - and dad grabbed the best parking: smack bang in front of the restaurant!
• The A meal was yucky   black bean sth so we got the B meal (chicken and rice) and a fried egg noodle. Had nearly (but not quite) one bowl of rice and nearly (but not quite) half a bowl of noodles. Drank half the set soup, one cup of Chinese tea and one mouthful of fresh HK-style milk tea. Told the parents it's been one FORTNIGHT since I enjoyed a proper meal out, but they didn't care. *sigh*
• Got home and 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 slowly and safely once more 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:  PIG mum'll  help me up, since I've a  late  morning  apointment  to see Ray for some  acupuncture and massage. Bet she's simply DYING to  yap  endlessly  @ him. XD Will  remember not to  ask   PIG mum about my   new AFO until January  ends.
• Hope PIG mum takes me  grocery  shopping  and aisle walking before coming home for lunch else expect  a super-pissy  plodding  total  from  me.
• Lorraine's minding me from   4-6pm; will hopefully watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 14TH time!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3151 (ha, I'm over three grand XD) and secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic's 'Love'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• Once I'd used up the most important two hours of my day, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat @ the gobbling :P to read Ghost Boy and wait for PIG mum to pause napping and come downstairs to gimme some arvo tea.
• While reading The Ghost Boy, I found the book title on pgs. 266, 270 and 271. I reached pg. 375 @ exactly 3:55pm then FINISHED THE BOOK @ 4:04PM before finishing the acknowledgements two minutes later! Huge thanks to Jane who found me The Horse Whisperer yesterday to start reading; I'll try read it all before the next book club since I've got like three weeks!
• after reading for a while I happily played the HP version of Bejeweled until PIG mum ordered me off to   go shower.
• So a nice warm shower for me - I washed and rinsed my 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 just 11% but happily leaned fully against the right-side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before tappingf the nice warm water off and calling PIG mum back.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 668

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2370 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily   devotional topic from last night's 'Authentic Faith's Eager For Christ To Come"; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Honesty's The Best Policy" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Faith And False Accusation'. Anyways, events for today?

• Nature called once around 12:45am; after another pot :P trip around 6am I immediately fell back asleep, since I remembered that PIG mum would get very noisy @ 7am!
• Instead, Mini Pearl and I fell back asleep so deeply that I didn't wake until PIG mum let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo! I used the pot :P once more, she helped me with absolutely nothing bar the bar strap then 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*
• That done, PIG mum returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me walk over to   the bathroom and brush teeth.
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Breakfast is one bowl of healthy cereal with all my usual drugs :P and 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 off to church and parks outside the service hall. I hike up the ramp, use the 3rd cubicle of the normal female toilets (since the disabled and first two cubicle of the women's loo have lids down but mean PIG mum won't lift them for me), wash and dry both hands then   head towards the service hall. Only I don't get inside since @ the entrance Yu Lam tells me I'm on   the welcome team!

• Yu Lam walks inside  with me once service starts and yay, I get to   stay seated for worship today~ I  sing everything, plus the harmony for two songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*

• Speaker today was Pastor Kevin, formerly the English pastor @ SIC! His sermon topic was 'To   The Ends Of The Earth: Cross-Cultural Mission and service ended thirty-four minutes early today!

• Dad collected me; I used the disabled toilet for another tinkle then sat outside the main hall. Dad got me  bikkies and tea since we'd ended so early morning   tea wasn't even prepared yet!

• Aunty Jenny came for a chat; she's already a grandma!

• Around 11am dad was saying let's have lunch @ Hungry Jack's but suddenly the heavens opened! Everyone just stayed undercover and when the rain had only lessened (not stopped) dad was like let's go; fair enough, he didn't wanna be late for badminton and arvo tea with his mates!

• Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:

• Lunch with dad @ the Rochedale Hungry Jacks. Unsure why dad didn't lemme  get the deal the Hungry Jack's app offered me: a burger, chips, shake asnd ice cream but the mini chicken snack wrap he got me was delicious and crunchy! Wonder does Hungry Jack's make normal-sized ones; this one I finished after three bites!

• Came home, used lo9o and popped online after doing today's Bible readings.

• Once I've used up the most important two hours online I'll use the loo for one tinkle then sit and finish sharing my Facebook memories before reading for one hour and waiting for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea.

• Toms: prolly seeing Ray for some acupuncture and massage, grocery shopping and aisle walking then coming home for lunch with dad.

• Lorraine's minding me  from 4-6pm; looking forward to reading The Ghost   Boy for one hour and hoping to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 13TH time!

• Anyways, hopefully  bbl, else wishing   everyone a smashing  week  ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 668c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3716. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I continued 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. Should dad not allow me out for lunch with other ESS people afterwards, it'll have been THREE WEEKS since I've enjoyed a decent meal out. *sigh*
• Braced for a stressful arvo  @ the hands of PIG mum, hoping to read Ghost Boy for one hour and wondering where dad will take us out for our once-weekly dinner out together?
• Anyways, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 668b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3654 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Our Refuge And Strength'. Righteo, continuing today's events?

• While Jane closes and locks windows, I use the loo for one more tinkle then climb into the passenger seat of Sarah (SAZ is Jane's car's rego plate). Jane tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace, parks underground  After grabbing  a trolley for us, we catch the lift up to ground floor, buy groceries from Woolies then stop @ Sushi Creators and get my honey  chicken sushi  for arvo tea.
• Back home I take a nice warm shower  - hairwash  today. Also thanks to Jane who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, jane reheats the potstickers PIG mum mkindly fried me for lunch and  I gulp down another two  more big  mugs oof white   tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey. I keep reading, reaching pg.  275  @ 11:52am and FINISHING THE BOOK @  12:27pm!! The acknowledgements were finished two minutes later and EVERYTHING was finished @ exactly 12:30pm! I immediately continued reading Ghost Boy but asked Jane to  find me a new book to read since I've nearly finished  it; she found The Horse Whisperer for me!
• When Jane closes and locks windows again I sit over the loo for two more tinkles and then she tootles me off to church to play table tennis with dearest dad! Oh, and thanks to Jane who helped me buckle my seatbelt all day; we bumped into Uncle Sam~
• I sign Jane off with my thanks and byes; she's back next Wednesday and taking me to play table tennis!
• Had great fun playing table tennis with dearest dad even though he's constantly   criticising me. XD He lemme win too and I said he'd better, since he'd SMASHED a ball into my FOOREHEAD since I don't have quick reflexes to  dodge!! ><  XD
• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat down to enjoy my honey  chicken sushi  roll  and read for another 110 minutes since it's only Saturdays that I  can spend a blessed three hours reading~ I reached pg.  200 @ 2:53pm, found the book  title on pg. 204 and 232, forgot about   pg. 225 but reached pg. 250 @ exactly 4:20pm.
• After using the loo for one tinkle I plopped online, did the day's Bible readings then happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 12TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner @ 7:47pm I used the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era 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 dearest dad's home-grown hairy melon, lotsa little bok choy, and a little serve of delicious bacon, egg and onion.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl 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 brb shortly after 9pm following one last  loo trip  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 668

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3506 steps (ha, I'm just over 3,5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Words For The Wind'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'A Prayer For Healing And Family Strife' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Courage To Stand For Jesus' but fifthly  and way most  importantly, I'm really still  owed ONE HOUR and SEVENTEEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 12TH  time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Since I've gotta let PIG mum gleefully boot me off to bed @ the piss-early time of 9:45pm every night, I'd already fallen asleep and woken with a full bladder shortly before midnight but after one quick pot :P trip I slept soundly until 6:30am before nature called again so yay, awesome sleep last night!
• After the first morning 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 continue snoring, me waking again for the pot :P around 9am. 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*
• Around 9am PIG mum's noisy   daily a-THUMPING around wakes me for one more pot :P trip. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and Elf didn't haveta ask her for a rub since she'd actually done that last night!
• When PIG mum lets Jane inside @ 9:30am, Jane knocks, pushes open the door before calling good morning and offering me fifteen more minutes. Mini Pearl nods @ her then flicks his body 'shoo'; Jane smirks and wisely withdraws.
• After I've counted down my fifteen more minutes, I call out Jane I'm hungry then swing myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle. 
• Jane and I get me kitted before I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. After drinking one tall cup of water, I sit over the loo proper. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Jane, who said she'd had her breakfast smoothie for her morning meal.
• Me, I had my once-weekly fried egg (with a runny yolk hence why PIG mum was concerned that I'd catch bird flu :P) on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast with a very thin layer of avocado. I also popped all my usual drugs :P, downed another cup of water, enjoyed my first full mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey and happily read for thirty minutes first up.
• While Jane closes and loocks windows, I use the loo  for one more tinkle then climb into the  passenger seat of  Sarah (SAZ is Jane's car's rego plate). Jane tootles us  off to Underwood MarketPlace, parks underground - bbl!

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 4275 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Lord, Stir My Soul' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed SIX MINUTES online after I visit the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo,   continuing today's events?

• After nature called again around 7:45am,  following  another 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 cuddled and happily snored, nature calling once more around 9am, shortly before PIG mum began 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.
• After PIG mum lets Jane in, she knocks, pushes open the door and just says "Fifteen more minutes, Em."   Pearl nods and then just flicks his body 'shoo' @ her; he's not impressed that she didn't say good morning first!" XD
• But when she returns, Jane says good morning, Em, time to get up and Mini Pearl immediately forgives her. XD
• We get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth and sit over the loo for one tinkle before washing and drying Era. When I'm heading out to the gobbling :P table with Jane, she tells me that she had her breakfast smoothie for her morning meal.
• For my breakfast, I get one bowl of healthy cereal, all my usual drugs :P and one full cup of water. Thanks also to Jane who makes a white tea for me; just pity she couldn't find 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. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, Jane slathers my face and both arms and hands with sunscreen, accompanies me back to the bathroom then returns to the kitchen and washed 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 Jane's car. She kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt then tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace, parking @ the front and grabbing a trolley for us.
• Groceries from Woolies bought, she tootles me home and 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.
  Cheers,

• Once I'd used up the most important two hours of my day, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat @ the gobbling :P to read the North Korean book for one hour and asked PIG mum please for some  arvo tea.
• With some fruit, one tasty cracker (the 4th) and one huge mug of herbal tea I happily read the Korean book for one hour, before using the loo for one tinkle and returning online.
• Happily watched the 6pm   news bulletin (Nine's) for the 10TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of the post.
• Toms:  Jane's minding me from 9:30am   till 2pm; we're gonna buy ingredients for my cooking session with Dorrie after she leaves! Maybe we're making dumplings?
• Hoping to read the Korean book for one hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 11TH time!
• 
  Cheers,

Thursday Post 668

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2681 steps (ha, I'm over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Window Of The Heart'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Set Boundaries That Matter' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Kindness Unseen'.  Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 15TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:25am, 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*
• Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am, shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor Elf an extremely 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 but obviously peeled her sock first thing this morning! XD
• When Daisy hadn't arrived by 9:35am, PIG mum gave me fifteen more minutes. I complied and immediately started counting down, reminding her to please ring CODA should she not appear by 9:40am but phew, Daisy arrived shortly afterwards~
• After I'd counted fifteen minutes and she'd entered my room, I used the pot :P for one more tinkle and she got me kitted, before I went over to the bathroom and brushed teeth. That done, I sat over the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era then headed out too the gobbling :P table with Daisy, who told me that she had two fried eggs for breakfast this morning.
• For my breakfast, I had one bowl of healthy cereal, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Also thanks to Daisy for one cup of delicious vanilla chai, even though she couldn't locate where sneaky PIG had hidden the sweetener. *sigh* 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 asked Daisy please to apply some sunscreen over both arms and my face. That done, she accompanied me back to the bathroom before going back to the kitchen and washing up the breakfast stuff. 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 Daisy's car and she tootles me off to Calamvale Central for my cheap haircut. Strange, she confidently tells me that she knows this area well but doesn't know to park underground where the lift opens right besides Go Cutt; instead, she parks all the way @ the other end and I've  gotta hike the ENTIRE LENGTH of the shopping  centre to reach the haircut place? Doesn't matter, since she grabbed a trolley for us~
• H aving awful facial recognition, I don't recognise the hairdresser until she says (in Canto) 'duck mm duck' @ the end! Why I love coming here for a haircut: it's the only time I'm prompted to look down! Mother's always demanding I look up; the reason I'm tempted to watch my feet while I struggle to walk's because I can't feel my left foot while I'm walking and what if she suddenly falls off?? o_O
• Afterwards, Daisy and I hike back to her car (while I was waiting for the haircut she'd tried moving her car back underground, but all the spots were taken; thanks instead she found a park about halfway) and she tootles me home for a nice warm shower -  hairwash today.  Also thanks to Daisy who helped me rinse out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, Daisy made me a tuna in tomato and onion toastie with TWO cheese and HEAVILY buttered (on the inside XD) for lunch; PIG mum came back and fetched me one packet of powdered HK-style milk tea to drink~
• At 1pm I said my thanks and byes to Daisy. She's only twenty-four but has a beautiful four-month-old baby girl!
• After I've used up my most important two hours of the day online, I'll use the loo for one tinkle, ask PIG mum for some arvo tea then sit and read the north Korean book for one hour.
• Hoping to watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 10TH time!
• Best of all, it's ice cream night toms night; like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Toms: Jane's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm. Presume we're buying groceries for my cooking adventure with Dorrie toms arvo; we're making dumplings!
• Hoping to read the North Korean book for one hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 11TH time!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 668c

 Good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 3801 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'A Grand-Scale Vision' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-SIX MINUTES online should PIG mum order me off to bed @ 9:45pm!! >< *sigh* But just briefly, final, final events for tonight?

• Went to Bupa Optical this morning and got my glasses tightened. Not impressed that the lifts were down and I had to catch like SIX escalators, but the staff member who fixed my classes for me's  Hmong!
• Saw Jane for the first time this year when she took me to the first table tennis for 2026! Only unfortunately no cake and no Kim, either, since she's pulled her back! ><
• Dad took me to church to play table tennis with other CM folk tonight; lots attended and we had to take turns! Uncle Albert was boy ball for us, and dad even lemme win in straight sets!
• Toms:  Daisy's minding me from 9:30am till 1pm; fingers crossed she'll FINALLY lemme out for a Thursday lunch out since both Ho Lin Wah and Lucky Cafe open @ like 11am!
• Looking forward to my most important two hours of the day after Daisy  leaves and reading the North Korean book for one hour~
• Might even watch pm news for the 10TH time unless dad takes us out for dinner and late-night shopping toms night!
• Anyways, hope everyone's having a  smashing   week!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Take two: firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1708 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Command That Creates'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Unselfishness; The Secret Of A Happy Marriage' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Comfort Of  God' but  fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-THREE MINUTES online after I get home from  table tennis,  watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's)  for the 10TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 14TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Pretty sure that's the first time I've begun any year with one whole FORTNIGHT of consecutive awesome sleeps! Not only that, my first dream for 2026 was a FOOD dream; I was holding a tray of strawberry jam jelly, straight from the oven; is strawberry jam jelly even a thing?? 
• Anyway, nature didn't call until 7:20am 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*
• Daddy   Bear and I happily cuddled and snored, me   waking once more for  the pot :P

Tuesday Post 567

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today 've been hard @ work plodding 4417 steps (sweet I'm already over four grand; that doesn't happen very often!); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The '; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'What Will We Do in Heaven?' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Hold On To God'. Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 13TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:20am and after one pot :P   trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P once around 7:45am and once more shortly   after 9am, just before noisy PIG mum begins her usual 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 Peggy's arrival @ 9:30am.
• After PIG mum lets Peggy in, Peggy knocks, pushes open the door and just announces "Fifteen more minutes." Mini Pear's rather miffed that she didn't bid us good morning first and just flicks his body 'shoo' @ her but clever Peggy remembers before leaving and calls, "Oh, and good morning!"  Mini Pearl bobs happily up and down @ her. XD
• When Peggy comes back, 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 Peggy who's 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 tells me she had her usual two fried eggs for breakfast.
• For my breakfast, I munch two plain (no honey) Weet-Bix 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 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 Peggy slathers my face and both arms with sunscreen, she accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning too  the kitchen and cleaning 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 Auto (pronounced Alto). Peggy tootles me off to Breathe for physio.  Oh, and thanks to her who kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt all day.
• Physio   today: 1.789km bike, forty bar-assisted push-ups, forty steps for Erf with left weight shift, forty v-bar cable rows for both hands, forty leg extensions for Elf, sixty leg extensions for Elf, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing!
• After one tinkle (CZ258 unlocks the female toilet and the second cubicle's an ambulant one), when I climb back into Peggy's car pop!  My right lens suddenly falls out! o_O Clever Peggy quickly uses a facemask and does a quick fix and then we buy groceries from Pinelands Coles (Vicki had already finished for the day) and buy my first crunchy pork bahn mi from Aunty Nancy @ the Pinelands Bakehouse for 2026.
• Got home and 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, lunch was my delicious bahn mi (Peggy sticks it inside the sandwich press and makes it crunchy for me!) plus one yummy mug of vanilla chai, although unfortunately Peggy couldn't find where the sneaky parents had hidden the sweetener. *sigh*
• After lunch, I used the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era then plopped online.
• Lorraine's taking me to the first Toastmasters for 2026 @ 5:30pm!
• Toms: hopefully PIG mum'll help me up around 9:15am and take me for walkies somewhere before we come home for lunch, since Jane's not taking me to the first table tennis session for 2026 until 1:30pm!
• She'll see me home and showered before leaving @ 6:30pm; I'm looking forward to watching the 6pm news for the 10TH time!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3213. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I continued reading and sharing Facebook memories.
• At 9pm, I walked myself slowly and safely once more to the loo for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30pm till 2pm and taking me to Breathe for physio. 
• Going back to Pinelands Coles afterwards to buy groceries plus my crackling pork bahn mi; Pinelands Plaza messaged me today saying that the Pinelands Bakehouse has reopened!
• Looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online after Peggy leaves @ 2pm.
• Have just reminded PIG mum that I'm needing rice for arvo tea toms, since Lorraine's taking me to the first Toastmasters for 2026 toms night, meaning I'll get an Unhappy Meal for dinner!

Monday Post 567c

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3060 (ha, I'm just over three grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Use Every Hardship'. Anyways, continuing today's events?

• So a nice warm shower for me - hairwash today.  Also thanks to Lorraine who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted,  arvo  tea was some fruit, one plain cracker and one big mug of delicious vanilla chai. Originally PIG mum had put herbal tea into the cup but Lorraine found the honey for me, yay!
• I happily read the Korean book for one hour, finishing pg. 175 @ 5:08pm, before having thirty minutes to happily play the HP version of Bejeweled! Lorraine cleaned the bathroom then very    gently massaged Ela for nearly one hour, stopping @ 5:50pm and writing shift notes.
• At 5:55pm I sat over the loo once more for two tinkles then signed Lorraine off with my thanks and byes: she's back toms @ 5:30pm and taking me to the first Toastmasters for 2026!
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 9th time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of today's first post.
• When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner shortly after 7pm, I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely over to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Dinner tonight:  rice, lotsa yummy  wombok, lotsa dearest dad's home-grown chokos and three wee slices of pork. Maybe even a piece of salmon?
• 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 @ 8:30pm, 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.
• 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 toms else wishing everyone a smashing Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 567

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2201 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily   devotional topic from last night's 'Passionate For God And Truth'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Healing Ministry Of Jesus' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'A Knowing Eye' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really  still owed EIGHT MINUTES online after Lorraine minds me for  two  hours and I watch  the 6pm   news (Nine's) for the 9th time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 12TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:30am 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*
• Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am, just before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around. 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 last night and let her wear her sock to sleep last night although obviously peeled the sock off first thing this morning!
• PIG mum helps exceedingly slightly with the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first. Dad's @ home; unsure why she didn't help me with the tee too? Doesn't matter; I struggled to put that on also before giving myself fifteen more minutes then getting myself mostly independently kitted.
• 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. Have I said yet? The new toothpaste I started yesterday's really cool: it's white with like this thin purple stripe running through it!
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Breakfast seems like only one Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P with all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water.  Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After washing and drying Era, 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   seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. We also listen to her Spootify playlist 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 grateful thanks to Ray for always replying and keeping a conversation flowing. Today she repeated one syllable six times before continuing. XD
• I use the loo for one more tinkle before PIG mum tootles us  back to Warrigal Square where we buy groceries from Woolies. I don't like grocery shopping with the parents since they don't  lemme sit on the self-serve checkout machine. *sigh*
• Back home for lunch with dearest dad I get two *tiny* slices of oven-baked pizza, two chunks of garlic bread and one delicious mug of Chinese tea.
• Lunch finished, I take the cup over to the sink, use the loo for one tinkle then walk myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Lorraine's minding me from 4-6 today; fingers crossed she'll ring the doorbell first and announce her arrival before signing in, else she'll be late again and I'll be cranky! ><  XD
• Hoping to read the North Korean book for one hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for   the 9th time after she leaves!
• Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm and taking me to Breathe for physio @ 11am. 
• Fingers crossed she'll let us have lunch @ Lucky Cafe afterwards coz if she only lets me buy a bahn mi from somewhere then it's been like one FORTNIGHT since I've enjoyed a proper meal out!! *sigh*
• Looking forward to my most important wo hours of the day online and then reading the North Korean book for one hour before Lorraine takes me to the first Toastmasters for 2026!
• Not looking forward to getting an UnHappy Meal with an orange juice for dinner though ... ohh,  if PIG mum won't lemme eat lunch @ Lucky Cafe with Peggy and I'm just coming home and eating the bahn mi, I'm gonna need some rice for arvo tea!
• Anyways, hopefully  bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
