Monday Post 327d

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ exactly 4000. Sweet, I don't reach 4000 very often! Actually, 'twas 3987, but that pissed me enough to get up, walk thirteen steps then sit back down again. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • Once I'd used up the most important two hours of my day I headed over to help PIG mum with her cake baking since for some reason Aunty   Lai DEMANDS I help? You can imagine my disappointment when  PIG mum informed me I'd not get ANY of the cake since she was baking it for some church  person! Him! ><
  • Before returning online I walked ,myself slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Toms: Peggy's minding me 9:30pm till 4pm. Presuming we'll buy groceries from Pinelands Coles and get my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi for lunch before coming home.
  • Heading  out to a new block of  NAB physio from 1-3; wonder which student I'll get?
  • Hope  PIG mum gives me RICE for arvo tea since after Toastmasters (presume Lorraine's taking me?) I'm only getting  an UnHappy Meal  with an orange juice for dinner ... *sigh*
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

  Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday  now stands @ 3815 (so won't quite reach four grand before tonight ends; maybe toms XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'No Greater Love'. Anyways, continuing today's events?

  • When Gabby renters my room fifteen minutes later and taps me up, I use the loo  for three more tinkles while we  catch  each other up: I've not seen her for like four months! She's around  twenty-two, Indian and happy being a carer during  her working life~
  • After we  get me kitted, I head over to  the bathroom and brush teeth, before sitting over the loo for one tinkle then washing and dryin ag  Era. Before heading out  to the gobbling :P table with Gabby I give dearest dad a great big hug and tell him to be careful when he's having his scan.
  • Actually, no!! Since PIG mum wasRay. We arwent home  and did  a stttinky  unspeakable then stttarted reading today's Bible passages before Gabby tootled me off to see nd I  taking dearest dad out for his scan, Gabby was taking me to  breakfast @ Macca's for the first time in YEARS! I'd been hoping for a Birdie Breakkie Meal since it first came out but PIG mum had said I was only allowed a breakfast wrap; when I discovered that  the Birdie Breakkie Meal came in wrap form I was like, score, we both win!
  • 'twas SO GOOD!! :D The wrap already had a hash brown inside but the meal came with another hash brown and the pink frappe came with cookie crumb @ the top! :D Gabby had a double egg McMuffin/sth like that.
  • Mindful that I had an  appointment to see Ray for some acupuncture @ 10am, we left shortly before 9am coz I had to do a number two before Gabby tootled me off to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Yay she  parked right by the gate; it's only  PIG mum who parks on the garage and has me walk the extra distance. >< *sigh*
  • Lol we arrived early enough that Ray hadn't even opened his front gate yet! We just sat poking @ our smartphones until Ray knocked against my window; the complete left hemianopia meant I didn't see him coming! XD
  • After using the loo for one tinkle I lay down for some acupuncture and massage; 'twas refreshing  to actually  have a conversation with  him for once! Usually, PIG mum just yaps @ him, Ray answers briefly and she yaps some more while I just take a nap.  XD
  • After using the loo for one more tinkle Gabby tootles me home and makes me a yummy tuna with corn kernels and mayo  toastie with TWO cheese and the inside HEAVILY buttered! The only alas was alas she couldn't find where sneaky PIG mum had hidden the sweetener butt unsweetened milk tea still beats herbal tea any day. XD
  • When dearest dad returned home of  course I immediately headed down the hallway to hug him and check that he was alright! I actually offered him my room to rest butt dad replied I'll be right on the couch.
  • Only six minutes left, so  super-briefly:
  • Chelsea took me to Breathe  for physio: 1.551km bike ride, forty bar-assisted push ups with left weight shift, forty step ups for Erf with more left weight shift, forty step ups for Elf, forty v-bar cable rows, forty leg curls for Elf, forty leg curls for Erf, forty leg extensions for Elf, forty leg extensions for Erf, tennis ball throwing and catching for Era and boxing 🥊!
  • Went shopping @ the Sunny Park  Woolies and the freebies were back! :D I had some little pizza shapes biscuits and then came back  five minutes later for some gratin! I think that's what those potato things are called?
  • Got home, showered, ate arvo  tea and watched the 6pm news.
  • All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine’s, read by Joel Dry) for the 186TH time:  Pullar, Goldie, Plibersek, Gates, Croucher, Trump (heard), Bavas, Swift, Butler Wilkinson, Burnham, O’Gorman, Marco, Sullivan, Purdie, Thomas (heard), Collins (heard), Lambert (heard), Michael (heard), Van Lunteren, Miles, Fentiman, Geran, Millward, Thorpe, Devine, Annalise (first name), Bolt, Baird (first name), Condon (heard), Bridgeman, Henley, TTtrump (heard), Scott (heard), Paisami (heard),Kiss, Jakob (first name), Funk, Fagan, Dobbin, Barrett (heard), Ballin (heard), Aziz (first name),  Behich, Fagan, Cooper, Glendinning, Crossland  (heard), Cleary (heard), Sandon (heard), Daly (first name), Tedesco, Walker, Cook and Kohler.  Chris Kohler read the finance report (1AUD = 70.21USc), Adam Jackson read the sports report and Garry Youngberry read the weather report from Surfers Paradise.

Monday Post 327b

 Heylo again, good afternoon and please excuse the first post; you know I sttill get  too excited whenever I get the chance to post online before midday. XD Firstly, today  I've been hard @ work plodding 1607 steps (ha, I'm over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Power Of A Superior Promise'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "God's Working On Your Behalf"  and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Accepted By God' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR online after I get home and watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 186TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Woo hoo, 18TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:50am when noisy    PIG mum went a-THUMPING around upstairs and woke me; 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*
  • PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with  the eye goo before letting Gabby inside @ 8am.
    Cheers.

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3015. Ha, I'm just over three grand. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • Tammy messaged me, asking for the name of  that  Harry Potter game I used to play in  GCCW. I remembered: Harry Potter Puzzles and Spells! I immediately  downloaded it  again and started playing; I vaguely remember reaching level 3500! Wonder can I reach it again but can't remember why I stopped! 
  • Happily played that for around forty minutes then @ 9pm 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: think  it's Gabby minding me from 7:30am since PIG mum's taking dearest dad for his colonoscopy? FINGERS CROSSED she'll lemme get a Birdie Breakfast meal!!!
  • Then I suppose it's Jacinta minding me from 2-6pm, taking me to Breathe for physio then seeing me home and showered.
  • Unsure have I time to read for one hour but fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 186TH time!
  • Righteo, wishing everyone a smashing  week ahead!

  • Dinner tonight: rice,  lotsa dearest dad's home-grown beans, lotsa soup  carrot, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup tomato and four little chunks of beef, three of which contained inedible tendons.

 Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for today! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2835. Righteo, potential  final, final events for today?

  • Once I'd used up the most important two hours of my day online I asked PIG mum may I please shower yet? When she said yes I headed to the bathroom.
  • So a nice hot shower for me  - I wash  and rinse my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sing 15$ of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
  • I have one tinkle before I call PIG mum back, after I tap the nice hot water off and she dries my  back  for me, I do everything else and she doesn't  feature again until Elf's AFO straps  need sticking and both laces need tying.
  • After I dry the loo seat I sit for one tinkle, stamp both feet dry, dry inside both ears, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely back to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

  • Arvo tea's one yummy pear, one plain cracker and one huge mug of delicious Chinese tea.
  • Arvo tea finished, I use the loo for  one more tinkle, wash  and dry Era then walk myself slowly  and safely online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  •  All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's, read by Mia Glover) for 185TH time: Lamont, Skott, Collins (heard), Balme, Levi (first name), Ashcroft, Fagan, Lester, Dunkley, Makenna (firstt name), Baily, Tristan (first name), Williams, Cassidy, Van Lunteren, Zoratto, Jaiden (first name), Croucher, Marles, Hanson-Young, Hume, Paterson, Dunn (heard), Anderson, Chalmers, MacFarlane, Bavas, Collins, Trump (heard), Abbott, Butler, Trump, Piastri, Russell, Horan, Kiss (heard),  Brierty, Prince, Brigginshaw (heard),  McKenna, Lester, Sullivan, Cargingham,  Keziah (first name), Bridgeman, Gotterup, Holbrook (heard), Ashcroft,  Neale, Fielke, Llewellyn, Hakeem (first name), Pierce, Jeffries and Zahos (heard).

Sunday Post 327

 Good afternoon! Firstly,  today I've been hard @ work plodding 2532 steps (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "Live Confident In God's Sovereign Power"; thirdly,  TWFT topic's 'Study. Work.  Hope. Perseverance.' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Pray For Them'. Anyways, events for  today?

  • Woo hoo, 17TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7am 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*
  • PIG mum  does her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs before letting herself into my room and hitting me with the eye goo. After she helps me with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap she lays the tops out for me then leaves me to  get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into the tops 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 both hands 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 slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with some avocado and hopefully very lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • After breakfast I walk myself slowly and safely  back to the 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). She tootles us off to church and parks outside the service hall. I hike up the ramp, use the disabled loo (yay, someone had left the lid up and seat down) myself, wash and dry Era then grab my usual spot for service on the most left.
  • Yay I stayed seated for worship today. I sang everything plus the harmony for all four songs but  like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
  • Pastor Aaron spoke today; his sermon topic was Presence, Prayer And Wise Speech. Since Pastor  Aaron spoke Chinese, Susannah translated for him!
  • Service ended twenty-nine minutes early! By the time PIG mum came for me, everyone had already cleared out but she told me the Canto sermon hadn't even finished yet!
  • I used the loo for another tinkle myself then sat around the back, munching one packet of Arnott's  bikkies and drinking one plastic cup of unsweetened (seemingly) milk tea.
  • Bernard moved his car up to where dad usually parks and dad walked with me over to his car then Bernard tootled me off to lunch with other EM folk!
  • Susannah had chosen Ippindon @ Runcorn Plaza. I'd really wanted tto try the BBQ duck me but PIG mum denied me that, screeching 'twas too expensive so instead I went with a little saucer of fried chicken and one bowl of plain rice; afterwards, Bernard even went with me  next door  to Goncha and I got myself a LARGE chocolate cookie milk  tea with pearl; half ice normal sugar! I quickly chugged it all before getting home lest PIG mum nab some again. XD
  • Lol, nobody was home when I arrived! I rang PIG mum and Bernard just accompanied ne over to   the bench before he left. Great timing: just as he pulled out the driveway, dearest dad arrived home~
  • Back inside I used the loo for one more tinkle 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.
  • Won't eat dinner out tonight since poor dad's already fasting for his procedure toms! Dulp ... and I've got Toastmasters Tuesday night but hopefully Wednesday night!
  • Apparently someone's minding me toms and taking me  to  see Ray for some massage and acupuncture before Louiza takes me to Breathe for physio @ 2:30pm?
  • Hoping to read The Rose Code for another hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 186TH time, provided that I can watch it for the 185TH time tonight!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl,  else wishing everyone a smashing  week ahead!
    Cheers,Em. ^^

Saturday Post 327c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight!  Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 1712. Anyways,  final, final events for tonight?

  • Reading for three hours complete, I used the loo for one more tinkle, plopped online and did my daily Bible readings then happily plopped online for myself briefly before watching the 6pm news bulletin for the184TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of today's post.
  • PIG mum said she'd call me for dinner when it was ready but instead she started dinner with dearest dad but without me? Luckily I heard the clink of  cutlery and called hey, may  I come eat dinner too?? *sigh*
  • Before joining dinner, I walked myself slowly and safely to the loo fore one tinkle, rising above the 
  • cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Dinner tonight: the yummy rice, lotsa yummy broccoli, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup tomato, lotsa soup carrot and one delicious chunk of chicken, which I obviously saved for last.
  • Dinner's 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. 
  • At 9pm I ring Aunty Lai and PIG mum joined in the chat too.
  • Call finished, I walk myself slowly and safely once more 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. Oh, the special thing's that I'm joining EM for lunch!
  • Unfortunately we'll not have our  once-weekly family dinner out since dad's going for his scan next Monday but hopefully we'll make up for it Wednesday night, since I've got Toastmasters Tuesday.
  • Anyways, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 327b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 1640 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'When You Feel Hopeless' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FOURTEEN MINUTES online while I  ring  Aunty Lai @ 9pm!! Meaning I'll leave the speaker on and continue surfing the net while I'm chatting with her~ Righteo, continuing today's events?

  • After washing and drying  Era, I held out to the gobbling :P  table, for my weekly Saturday breakfast: one fried egg on one slice of toast, my first big mug of white tea with two sugars, all my usual drugs :P and another full cup of water. Over and after breakfast, I happily read The Rose Code for thirty minutes, finishing pg. 475 @ exactly 4:30pm!
  • While Jane closed and locked windows, I used the loo for one more tinkle, washed and dried Era then climbed into  the back of Sally. Jane helped me  with my seatbelt (as she kindly did both ways) and then she tootled me off to Sunnybank Plaza to buy $10 of sushi to redeem a mooncake!
  • OMG PIG mum lemme use Sparkless3 this morning, since when she came to hit me with the eye goo this morning she also gave poor Elf a very brief rub and noticed that she had more pressure marks than usual?? Meaning I  got to WINDOWSHOP!!! :D Jane was such a sweetheart, returning to the parked car the long way so I could look @ all the stores  and I swear, most have changed since we stopped frequenting Sunnybank Plaza after moving to BCAC in 2009!!
  • Back home I showered half fast - hairwash today. Also thanks to Jane who kindly rinsed out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to  hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekittted, lunch was one bowl of rice leftovers (huge thanks to Jane who added some oyster sauce for me for taste) and two more big mugs of white tea with two sugars. Over and after lunch I happily continued reading, reaching pg. 500 @ exactly 12:34pm!
  • Before leaving I sat over the loo for   two more tinkles and Jane went with me once more to the loo after we arrived @ church before signing her off with my  thanks and byes several minutes early. She's back next Wednesday and taking me  to  table tennis~
  • Well dad lemme win again today but I told PIG mum she should bok him for me anyway since he hit NINE holes into  me! >< XD
  • Back  home, I used the loo  for one tinkle then sat  down to read till  4:30pm since it's only Saturday  that I can spend a blessed three hours reading~  Today I finished the sushi  @ 2:49pm (I'd boughtt a kaarage chicken with  cucumber, a kaarage chicken with avocado and a teriyaki tofu to reach  ten bucks) and enjoyed half the tofu and half the kaarage chicken with avocado), reached pg. 525 @ 2:59pm, finished pg. 525 @ exactly 3pm, finished the delicious Chinese tea @ 3:03pm, forgot about pg. 550 butt  finished pg. 555 @ 2:23pm, finished pg.  575 @ 2:53pm, took a loo  break, dearest dad left for church @ 4:19pm/4:34pm and reached pg. 600 @ exactly 4:30pm!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 327

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1510 steps (ha, I'm just  over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily  devotional topic from last night's 'Life Hangs On The World Of God'; thirdly,  TWFT topic's 'Get Ready For Change (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Gifts Repurposed By God' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-ONE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 184TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Woo hoo, 16TH consecutive awesome sleep last night!~ Nature  didn't call until 7am and after one pot :P ttrip, 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*
  • Afterwards, Daddy Bear and I happily  cuddled and snored, nature not calling again until nearly 9am! Shortly after another pot :P trip, noisy  PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs and soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor Elf's ankle a very brief rub since she totally ignored my poor foot last night  - like she's done for the past ONE MONTTH and two days! >< Never mind, Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes last night and let her war her sock to sleep last night but obviously tugged the sock off first thing this morning! XD Once she hits  me with the eye goo and returns out into the house awaiting Jane's arrival,   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* 
  • Once PIG mum opens the door for Jane @ 9:30am, Jane knocks my closed door, sticks her head in, says "Good morning Em" and "Fifteen more minutes, okay?" Daddy Bear responds with  a single paw flop and just like that she's gone, thus denying him the chance to imperiously wave his paw 'shoo'  @ her. XD
  • Jane actually comes back half a minute  early; when she opens the door (without knocking this time) I screech "thirty more seconds!" and phew, she instead uses those thirty seconds to open the windows. XD
  • The thirty seconds up, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to  the bathroom to 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!

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 2486 (so trust I'll have cracked 2.5 grand before tonight ends XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "It's All/Nothing." Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

  • When PIG mum summoned me  over for dinner tonight I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely over tto the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • A fancy dinner tonight for mid-Autumn festival! Rice, lotsa yummy broccoli, one piece of yummy roast pork with crackling and one delicious duck drumstick!
  • 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.

  • After returning online I remembered I'd forgotten  to read for five more minutes after dinner (since I like reading for one hour everyday when possible and three on Saturday) so returned and did that before returning online again.
  • 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 toms, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Friday Post 327

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2148 steps (ha, I'm over two grand XD);  second, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "Jesus's Pursuit Of Joy';  thirdly, TWFTT topic's 'Get Ready For  Change (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Acts Of Devotion'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Woo hoo, 15TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until the noisy garbage truck THUNDERED down our road tipping bins and woke me; 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 cuddled and had a MASSIVE snore, nature didn't call again until like 9am! Shortly after that, noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs and soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give Elf's ankle a very brief rub, since she totally ignored my  poor ankle last night, as she's done EVERY NIGHT OVER THE LAST MONTH! >< *sigh* That's alright; Era rubbed Elf's ankle for fifteen minutes last night and let her wear her sock to sleep but obviously tugged the sock off first thing this morning. XD
  • After PIG mum lets Jane inside @ 8am, Jane knocks, opens the door, sticks her head inside and calls "Good morning Em; fifteem more minutes." Daddy Bear wagges his paw once in acknowledgement of what she said and just like that, she's gone and he's denied the opportunity  to imperiously flick his paw 'shoo'! @ her. XD
  • Jane actually came back  thirty seconds too early but  since she didn't  try poke me up immediately (think she was opening the windows first XD) I held Daddy Bear back from giving her the Bear Bum. XD
  • After fifteen more minutes, I used the loo for three more tinkles, we get me kitted  and then I  head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. After sitting over the loo for one tinkle I 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 slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully  very lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P  and one full mug of  water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh* Also thanks to Jane who turned Sunrise on for my viewing pleasure~
  • Breakfast finished, I call Jane back please to gimme (front and back of neck, face and both hands) some sunscreen, then she walks behind me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast dishes 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 backseat of Sally and Jane tootles me off to the NAB for two hours' physio with Chan.
  • Physio today: Thirty sit-to-stands with left weight shift and reduced thigh support, thirty single leg push-ups on the tower of power for Elf, ten single leg push-ups on the tower of power for Erf, twenty double leg push-ups on the tower of power for both feet, Jenga for Era and snakes and ladders (getting up from chair, bending to floor to pickup die, rolling then moving my piece).
  • After sitting over the loo for two more tinkles Jane tootles me home and I  take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Jane for helping me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch is one yummy toasted tuna in tomato and onion toastie with only one  slice of cheese plus one *delicious* mug of Chinese tea.
  • At 1:55pm I sit over the loo for two more tinkles before signing Jane off with my thanks and byes @ 2pm. She's back 9:30am toms; hopefully PIG mum'll lemme buy ten bucks of sushi so I can redeem a free mooncake from Sunnybank Plaza!
  • Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day I'll use the loo for one tinkle then sit  @ the gobbling :P table, wait for PIG mum to please gimme some arvo tea then read for as close to one hour as I can before watching the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 184TH time!
  • Toms: Jane's back minding me from 9:30am till 1pm; fingers crossed PIG mum'll lemme buy ten bucks @ Sunnybank Plaza and redeem a mooncake!
  • Free rest of the day after she sees me showered and leaves; hoping to read for three hours toms!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
    P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's, read by Melissa Downes) for the 184TH time: Shannon, Mellers, Tsimpikas, Jackson, Dry, Ha-teya (first  name), Gripske, Fagan (heard),  Jakob (first name), Funk, Lachie (first name), Shar (first name), Davison,  Cook, Netanyahu (heard), Albanese, Surrandon (heard),  Vanderbilt, Heeney (heard), Fagan, Woodbridge, Cobbo (heard),  Lockter,  Ozzy (first name), Osbourne, Parton, Tomasi, Ha-teya (first name), Gripske, Renshaw, Jensen (heard), Trump (heard), Stewart, Battista, Neale, Hodgkinson, Cleary (heard), Yeo (heard), Mbye, Allen,  Andrews, Ainsworth (heard),  Annalise (first name), Bolt, Dry, Scheffler, BeauLamar (first name, heard), Condon (heard), Walker, V'Landys (heard),Millward, Reader and Geran.

  • After publishing  the previous post I continued reading  and sharing Facebook memories.

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2002 (ha, I'm literally a couple of steps over two grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'When Trials Come'. Righteo, continuing today's events?

  • After Ari saw me seated and  left, PIG mum gave me some arvo tea: one piece of fruit, one plain cracker and one huge mug of delicious Chinese tea. I happily read the book club novel for one hour, reaching pg. 400 @ 3:36pm.
  • After using the loo for one more tinkle I read my daily Bible passages (started Galatians today)  then plopped online for myself.
  • Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 183RD time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of the previous post.
  • PIG mum got dearest dad to start dinner with bher but without me again. *sigh* Given permission to join once the news ended, 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 broccoli, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup tomato, two slices of some fish and two chunks of chicken.
  • 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.
  • Toms: Jane's minding me from 8-2 and taking me for the final session of this block! 
  • Since I already had OT with Ari this arvo I'm free once Jane leaves; looking forward to my two most important hours of the day, reading the book  club novel for another hour and watching the 6pm news for the 184TH time before watching the first prelim finals: up the Phins!

Thursday Post 327

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1879 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily  devotional topic from last night's 'Hope For The Worst Of  Sinners'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Live The Crucified Life' and fourthly, Our  Daily Bread's devotional  topic's 'Words From Friends' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 183RD time!! Anyways, events for  today?

  • Woo hoo, 14TH consecutive awesome sleep  lat night! That's the 14TH time this year I've scored one straight week of consecutive awesome sleeps! :D 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 again slightly after one hour later. After another pot :P trip,  it's not long before PIG mum begins her daily  a-TTHUMPING around upstairs; soon,  she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor Elf's a very brief rub, since she 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 but obviously peeled the sock off first thing this morning! Just fingers crossed PIG mum will FINALLY give poor Elf's ankle a very brief rub tonight else that will mark one whole MONTH that she has totally ignored my poor foot. >< *sigh* :o(
  • After PIG mum lets Louiza inside @ 8am, Louiza knocks, pushes open the door and calls "Good morning Em; I'll help you up in fifteen more minutes, okay?" Daddy Bear gives one paw nod then imperiously flicks his paw 'shoo' @ her; Louiza smirks but wisely withdraws, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
  • When Louiza returns and taps me up, I use the pot :P  once for three more tinkles, 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 Louiza, rousing @ her for not  eating any breakfast this morning and informing  her that she'd buy some breakfast for herself after doing the groceries for PIG mum. XD
  • Breakfast was one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado  and for some reason the PLATE (not the toast) very lightly sprinkled with salt (no problem; I just lick the plate clean afterwards XD), 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* I also happily  watched Sunrise~
  • After breakfast, I summon Louiza back to please gimme (my face and both arms) some sunscreen   and then   she walks behind me back to  the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast dishes up. Over the loo, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 
  • After washing and drying Era, I climb into Louiza's housemate's light green car and she tootles me off to the Garbo library for GCCW! Upon arrival, I use the disabled loo for one tinkle and then head into meeting room one.
  • Just a small attendance today: only eight! Tammy kindly went with me to the bathroom during   the morning tea break and she even brought CAKE for morning tea!  :D 
  • Me, I brought and showed off my Bridge To Brisbane medal. XD
  • The meeting ended twelve minutes earlier today, hence why I texted Louiza for pickup.
  • After one more tinkle, Louiza tootled me home and I took a nice hot shower -  hairwash today. Also thanks to Louiza who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to told my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was a yummy tuna in tomato and onion toastie with TWO cheese and one mug of powdered HK-style milk tea. Louiza cleaned the bathroom then asked to be signed off early since she had to drive down to the Gold Coast next, which I did. She's back next Thursday 9:30am.
  • Lunch finished, I took the cup over to the sink, used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Ari came and gave Ela one hour of unfunctional exercises with the FitMi and the thera playdough :P before we found three cooking recipes from Woolies for PIG mum to choose from!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
    P.S.

Tuesday Post 326

 Kinda placeholder post? But I enjoyed my 12TH consecutive awesome sleep last night, showed my medal 🏅 to Vicki when grocery shopping with Peggy, enjoyed a lazy lunch (propped both legs up on the footstool, leg Ela in my lap and didn't need to learn forward to eat since Peggy had put a dishcloth down my top), went out for two hours of physio with Tash (30 sit-to-stands with left and forward weight shift, eleven laps obstacle course walking with three games of standing tic tac toe and a 750m walk outside), had some rice for afternoon tea and attended toastmasters; I even gave a speech about my Bridge To Brisbane 5km event but forgot to bring my medal 🥇!! Next week! Tomorrow I just have table tennis 🏓 in the afternoon so hope 🐖 mum will take me grocery shopping in the morning and maybe I can play table tennis 🏓 with dad again at night at church! Anyways, hope everyone has a lovely day tomorrow ~

Cheers,

Em. ^^

P.S Today I was hard at work plodding 5155 steps! Ha, I'm more than half a normal person today.  XD

  • After publishing the previous post I continued reading and sharing my Facebook memories.
  • At 9pm,  I walked myself once more slowly  and safely once more to the loo for one more tinkle and  back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. Actually I went over to the gobbling :P  table and helped make her cake first!

Monday Post 326d

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total  for Monday now stands @ 2989 (so will definitely crack three grand before tonight ends XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Admitting Your Weakness' but thirdly and way most importantly I'm really sttill owed  TWENTY-FOUR MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, continuing Monday's events?

  • After washing and drying Era, I  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. Before reading my daily Bible passages I quickly type out GCCW homework since Mary complained last meeting that I didn't submit homework until the day before and she didn't have time to read it! XD
  • That done, I use the loo for one tinkle then read my daily Bible passages before plopping online for myself until PIG mum summons me for lunch.
  • PIG mum cooked surprisingly tasty fried rice for lunch!
  • Lunch was washed down with one delicious mug of Chinese tea; after taking the bowl  over to   the  sink I walk myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

  • At 1:55pm I sit once more over the loo  for two  tinkles then sit by the front  door awaiting Louiza's arrival @ 2pm.
  • She arrives two minutes late (stuck in traffic) but makes good time tootling me off to Breathe for physio.
  • Physio  today: 1.555km bike ride, forty bar-assisted push ups with left weight shift, forty steps for Erf with more left weight shift, forty steps for Elf with left weight shift, forty v-bar cable rows with both hands, forty leg extensions for Elf, forty leg extensions for Erf, forty leg curls and boxing!
  • After one tinkle, Louiza tootled me off to the Sunny Park Woolies for grocery shopping. I prefer shopping with the carers more than the parents since the carers lemme sit on the self-serve checkout machine but the parents don't. Just grumpy since there was sufficient change butt mean PIG mum  wouldn't lemme redeem the  $3 McFlurry on the My Macca's app! >< *sigh* 
  • Got home and took a nice hot  shower  - hairwash today. Also thanks to Louiza 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 pear, one plain cracker and one small cup  of some herbal tea. Originally PIG mum had putt the teabag into the white tea with sweetener biggest mug but I asked Louiza please switch itt.
  • Happily  read the book club novel for one hour, reaching pg. 350 @ 5:06pm and reaching pg. 375 @ 5:41pm.
  • Sat once more over the  loo  for  two tinkles @ 5:55pm then signed Louiza off with my thanks and byes; she's backThursday 8:00am and taking me to GCCW!
  • Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 181STT time but have misplaced where I usually note everything. XD
    Cheers,

 Good afternoon again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for  Monday now stands @ 698 (but  going out next) but secondly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-FOUR MINUTES online after I get home and watch  the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the181ST time!!  Anyways, continuing today's events?

  • After returning to sleep with Daddy Bear and waking up for the pot :P once more around 9am, I  call upstairs to  PIG mum again and remind her please to help me up soon since I'm hoping not to  already be back in my  room before twelve hours have passed!
  • Still, she takes her time with things, meaning I  don't let her gleefully  FORCE  :(  me to  walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth until nearly 9:50am. *sigh*
  • 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's one slice of  dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully very lightly sprinklled with salt, all my  usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*

  • After breakfast I walk myself slowly and safely back to the 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!

Monday Post 326b

 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 only 603 steps (since obviously, I've not left the house yet); secondly, John  Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Not Nearly Hedonistic Enough'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Talk Back To Your Giant' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Heart Of The Matter' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm  really still owed ONE  HOUR  and FIFTY-ONE MINUTES online after lunch!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Woo hoo, 11TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:45am 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*

Sunday Post 326c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2473. See? Not quite 2.5 grand; maybe toms. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • After publishing  the previous post I continued reading and sharing my  Facebook memories then @ 9pm 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: not seeing Ray coz he's taking term three school holidays with his girls! Hope PIG mum remembers  to help me up latest @ 9:20am and takes me for walkies somewhere before coming home for lunch but I can't remember was it Jacinta/someone else taking me to Breathe for physio @ 2pm.
  • Anyhow she'll see me home and showered before leaving  @ 6pm; I'm looking forward to watching  the 6pm news bulletin for the 182ND time but unsure have I got time to read for one hour?
  • Haveta compose GCCW homework!! XD
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,

Sunday Post 326b

 Heylo and good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2405 (so  prolly won't quite reach 2.5 grand before the night's out, sorry XD) butt secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed SEVENTEEN MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, continuing today's events?

  • Lol, I fell back asleep so deeply I missed noisy PIG mum's daily a-THUMPING around upstairs and didn't wake until she let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo! I immediately used the pot :P  for one tinkle, she helped me exceedingly slightly with nothing bar the bra strap and laying out the tops then left me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into the tops and 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 use the loo  for one  tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P   table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Breakfast is one slice of  dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully very lightly sprinkled with  salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the toilet, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 
  • After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and she tootles us off to  church. After hiking up  the ramp, I use the 3rd cubicle of the normal female toilets myself,   wash and dry both hands then grab my usual spot for service on the most left and PIG mum heads back upstairs for the Canto service.
  • Yay I get to stay seated for worship. I sing everything, plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING.  >< *sigh*
  • Speaker today was Uncle Roger! We'd bumped into him just before reaching the bathrooms this morning and his sermon topic was 'My Presence'.
  • After service I used the loo again myself and then headed around the back for some morning tea but didn't get the chance to show off my medal (to Aunty Anita and Uncle Peter only) since every else was attending the AGM butt phew,  PIG mum says I may bring it next week~
  • 'Ttwas already 11am when we got home butt  Georgia was running late hence why I used the loo for one more tinkle before she arrived; I climbed into the passenger seat of  her car,  PIG mum actually HELPS with my  seatbelt (note that she usually only helps when someone's watching and then Georgia tootles me off to Ho Lin Wah for lunch, finding a park just after the fruit shop.  It's been a few months since I last saw her, she's still only twenty-one and doing visual arts (pottery)  @ uni!
  • Once inside I glanced @ the set meals and went drat, A's some kinda black bean chicken but yay,  B's white sauce chicken! After the little waitress (she's the one who  always repeats your order) confirmed the guess, I ordered the  B meal with a cold HK-style milk tea butt Georgia passes saying she'd had a huge breakfast (i.e. brunch). When my meal  arrived Georgia asks would you mind if I  watched YouTube on my mobile and I said no, only if you  don't mind that I eat with full mouthfuls and don't converse much! XD It's been a happy three weeks, eating with full mouthfuls; promise to eat daintily after  dad returns. XD
  • Back home I take a nice hot  shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Georgia who helps me rinse out  my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried,  creamed and rekitted, PIG mum had a special arvo tea to help me celebrate my half birthday: a mini cute mooncake! I prolly had some fruit also and washed that down with one huge mug of herbal tea. Georgia's shift ended @ 1pm but PIG mum kept  yapping @ her and didn't let her leave till 1:03pm. XD
  • After she left I happily read the book club novel for one hour, reaching pg. 200 @ 2:33pm, finishing arvo  tea @ 2:46pm and reaching pg. 325 @ 3:08pm.
  • After using the loo for one tinkle I booted the computer up, but before reading my daily Bible passages I had to finish my Birthday Celebrations post first!
  • That all done, I  tootled online for myself.
  • All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine’s, read by Wendy Kingston) for the 181ST time: Neale (heard), Geran, Fagan, Lohmann, Croucher, Ward, Albanese, Wilson, D’Alessandro, O’Neill, Probyn, Trump, Sinclair, Dupont, Gorm (first name), Paynter, Burgaard, Giuseppe (first name), Todhunter, Phoenix, Griffin, Farnham, Eyescobar, Rix, Scott, Farnham., Blackman, Robinson, Kaufusi, Felise (first name), Dufficy, Sheeran (heard), Scott and Zahos (heard). de Minaur, Lohmann, McClucaggage, Jakob (first name), Brown, Funk, Averillo, Dominique Loudon read the sports report and Garry Youngberry read the read the weather report from New Farm. Brisbane was 15-30. Brisbane toms: 14-31. Mt. Gravatt toms: 12-30. Sunrise: 5:39am Sunset: 5:44

  • When  PIG mum summoned me for dinner @ 7:26pm, 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 kailan, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup  potato, some yummy tomato mince and like one chunk of chicken.

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

  • Righteo,  hopefully brb aftter 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. ^^

Saturday Post 326

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @  work  plodding exactly 2222 steps (cool number, eh? Actually, 'twas 2219 but that number pissed me off enough to stand up, take three small steps forward and sit back down again XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Only True Freedom';  thirdly, TWFT topic's "Don't Speak With A 'Forked Tongue'" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Rescue Plan". Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 9th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't  call until 8am, 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, me waking for another pot :P trip when noisy PIG mum wakes me with  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 Jacinta's arrival @ 9:45am and retuning to tell me fifteen more minutes when Jacinta doesn't arrive promptly. I immediately  reply, reminding her to please ring CODA On-call @ 9:40am should Jacinta not  have arrived but should she come soon, tell her to please help me up  since she's prolly stuck in traffic. Sure enough, that's exactly what happens!
  • After I've counted down from 900, I swing myself over to  the pot and announce "Jacinta, I'm hungry." She comes immediately, we get me kittled and then I head over to the bathroom before drinking one full mug of water before sitting over the loo proper. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 
  • After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Jacinta. Breakfast is my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with some avocado. I also drain another tall cup of water, pop all my usual drugs :P and enjoy my first big mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey. The only pity was that horrid PIG mum wouldn't lemme get a slice of cheese with my egg on toast! Like, she's always going on that you've gotta do things for yourself  and not ask people to do them for you; I've said I'll get the cheese myself  butt she STILL refused! ><  *sigh* But over and after breakfast I happily read for thirty minutes, reaching pg. 175 @ 10:16am.
  • Reading for thirty minutes done, Jacinta slathered me with sunscreen then walked behind me back  to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast dishes up. After I sit for one tinkle over the loo I wash and dry Era then climb into the backseat of Jacinta's car. She helps me with my seatbelt (as she kindly does both ways) then tootles us off to Underwood Market Place, parking besides the ramp out front and grabbing a trolley for us.
  • First we both buy  groceries from Woolies. I prefer shopping with the carers rather than the parents since they lemme sit on the self-serve checkout machine while they scan the items. While she was doing that, I proudly showed off my medal to  the shop assistant manning the self-serve checkouts and she flashed the thumbs up to me!
  • Our other stop was The Sushi Creators for my honey chicken arvo tea sushi roll. When the guy behind the counter looked up and saw me, I raised one finger into the air and he replied with a thumbs up. When we reached the counter, he slid my already packaged sushi to Jacinta over to Jacinta and said "Four dollars." Jacinta looks @ me, surprised. "When did you order?" She asked. I mime our little skit back @ her and she  laughs. XD
  • Back home, I take a nice hot shower - hairwash  today. Also thanks to Jacinta who rinses out my  hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch is one yummy bowl of  the yummy tuna and pasta bake I cooked with  Ari two days ago plus TWO more big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful  of honey; since PIG mum was eating her own lunch on the couch Jacinta and I had already worked out the deal: I'll hand you my empty mug after you've cleaned the bathroom and you make me one more big  mug of white tea with sweetener.  XD
  • At 1:55pm I sat once more over the loo for two tinkles while PIG mum signed Jacinta off and shooed her away. She's back next Saturday fortnight.
  • Did my daily Bible readings then plopped online for myself.
  • Once I've used up  the most important two hours of the day online I'll use the loo for one tinkle then sit and wait for PIG mum to gimme arvo tea (my honey chicken sushi roll). Looking  forward to reading The Rose Code for awhile; it's only  Saturday that I can spend a blessed three hours reading~
  • Hoping I'll watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 180TH time!
  • Tonight I need to get cracking on my birthday celebrations post but I'll leave Nine Now playing and listen to the Roosters play the Dolphins; Phins up!
  • Toms: just church, nothing special. Oh, the special thing's I've got support from 11am till 1/2pm   for lunch @ Ho Lin Wah then personal care @ home since PIG mum's out  having her weekly  gossip and coffee social with her aunty friends!
  • Then I think there's another finals match toms night!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands  @ 2950. Aww, sorry, not quite three grand. Maybe toms. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post I  started penning (well, typing XD)my Birthday Celebrations 2026 post; cripes, I'm turning  39.5 the DAY AFTER TOMS but haven't started yet! Me: unorganised.  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.
  • Toms: Jacinta's minding me from 10-1; presuming we'll buy my arvo tea honey chicken sushi roll from The Sushi Creators plus anymore groceries from Woolies that PIG mum wants.
  • Coming home for a shower and lunch; pretty sure Jacinta will feed me two more big mugs of white tea with sweetener!
  • Nothing else happening after Jacinta leaves @ 1pm. Should I read for three hours/pen my Birthday  Celebrations 2026? Prolly the latter! XD
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Friday Post 326c

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 2878 (so sorry, won't reach 3000 before tonight ends; another day perhaps XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'God Hears You'. Anyways, continuing tonight's  events?

  • When PIG mum   summoned me  over for dinner @ 7:11pm 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.
  • Can't remember specifically dinner was (rice, tomato mince, vegetables); I'm just beyond frustrated since I was meant to have lunch with other ESS people this Sunday but PIG mum says no, next   Sunday! >< *sigh*
  • 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, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl after one lasttt  tinkle @ 9pm with my final, final plodding tottal for today, tthe final, final  events for tonighttt plus whatt's happening toms else wishing everyone a smashing  weekend ahead!
    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 and asked PIG mum please four some arvo tea. She passed me one plain cracker, chopped up one pear for me and poured me one huge mug of the other free tea I'd collected @ the Bridge To Brisbane event.
  • One more tinkle for me before returning online.

Friday Post 326

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2602 steps (ha, I'm over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Worship In A Lightning Storm'; thirdly,   TWFT topic's 'The Blessing Of Obedience' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Seeking God's Kingdom". Anyways, events for today?

  • Woo hoo, 8th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until the noisy garbage truck THUNDERED down our road to  start    tipping bins @ 6:40am this morning 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* Back in bed I realised that my monthlies had arrived and reminded myself to let PIG mum know immediately when she entered my room around 7:45am.
  • Sure enough, I'm wakened for the pot :P again one hour later when PIG  mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Once she lets herself into my room (the parents never knock), I immediately tell her that my monthlies have arrived, hence why she helps me stick a pad into my knickers before hitting me with the eye goo.
  • Once PIG mum opens the door for Jane @ 8am, she knocks, opens the door and says  "Good morning Em; fifteen more minutes." Daddy Bear gives one paw flop in acknowledgement of her statement and just like that she's gone, denying him the  chance to imperiously flick his paw 'shoo!' @ her. XD
  • When Jane returns and taps me up, I use the pot :P once for three more tinkles,  we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth before sitting over the loo for one more tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I 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's one bowl of Weet-Bix porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully very lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one tall cup of water. Amazingly, PIG mum tturned Sunrise on for my viewing pleasure (since Jane was here) and 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 Jane to please gimme (my  face, neck, throat and both  hands) some sunscreen then she walked behind me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast dishes up. Over the loo, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 
  • After washing and drying Era I climb into  the passenger seat oof Sally and Jane tootles me  off to  the NAB for two hours of physio with Chan. Thanks to her who kindly helped me buckle my  seatbelt both ways.
  • Physio today: Explore gym: five minutes recumbent exercise bike, six minutes treadmill, single cable rows for Era, leg press 6kg,, body blade and step overs for Elf Recumbent exercise bikes have backrests! I sincerely thanked the Scottish lady for giving me Tuesday off and she said don't worry; Billy's having Friday off too! XD
  • After I sat over the loo for two more tinkles Jane tootled me home and I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Jane who helped me rinse out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekittted, lunch was almost (but not quite) one bowl of the delicious tuna and pasta bake I'd cooked with Ari yesterday plus my first ever cup of Ceylon tea; I'm a fan!
  • At 1:55pm I sat once more over the loo for two tinkles while PIG mum signed Jane off and immediately shooed her away. She's back next Wednesday for table tennis.
  • Did my daily Bible readings and plopped online.
  • Toms: Jacinta's minding me from 9:30am till 1pm; presuming we're getting my once-weekly honey chicken sushi roll from TThe Sushi Creators plus any groceries PIG mum may want from Woolies.
  • Looking forward to my three big mugs of white tea with sweetener and I'm planning to read the new book club novel for three hours!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead! Cheers, Em. ^^

Thursday Post 326c

 Good  evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3320 (forgive me  for not being bothered to  get up and plod thirteen more steps to make that 3333 XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'What Are You Doing Here?'' Anyways, final, final events for  tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post I continued reading and sharing my 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.
  • It's ice cream night tonight; like I always say, a very little's better  than none @ all!
  • Toms: Jane's coming @ 8am, helping me up then taking me  to the NAB for two hours of physio with Chan. 
  • After Jane sees me home, showered, fed with lunch and leaves @ 2pm, I'm free for the rest of the  day since the OT already  came today! Looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online, must remember to ask Jane toms morning to please find me a new book to  read for toms arvo, hoping  to read for one hour then hoping to watch the  6pm news bulletin for the 179TH time!
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing end to the week toms!

Thursday Post 326b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3275 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's ... lol, it's not arrived  yet? Righteo, continuing today's events?

  •   Breakfast finished, I summon Louiza back too please gimme (my face, neck, throat and both hands) some sunscreen before she walks behind me back to the bathroom then returns to the kitchen and washes the breakfast stuff up. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 
  • After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Louiza's housemate's light green car, she kindly  helps me buckle my seatbelt (as she does both  ways) and then she tootles  me off to Underwood Lake for my hike around the lake with Pole, stopping first @ the drive-thru Zaraffa's and grabbing herself breakfast. Pity she wouldn't grab any second breakfast for me.  XD
  • Pole was already  there when we arrived; turns out she lives within walking distance! She walked with me, Louiza walked behind  me and we took a hike around the lake (my 10th for the year), stopping for a quick lie-down and photo on the sunlounges and another seat and photo on the seats with backrests along the boardwalk.
  • Turns out the big square bench has been removed and only the single row bench remains! We sat on that and shared the little carton of Hello Panda bikkies that I bought  recently with PIG mum.
  • Returning to Louiza's car I hugged Pole bye and Louiza tootled me home for a nice hot  shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Louiza who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shutt.
  • Dried, cream and rekitted, lunch was a n unbuttered tuna in tomato and onion toastie with only one slice of cheese and one powdered mug of HK-style milk  tea. Louiza cleaned the bathroom then got me to sign her off three minutes early; turns out that she arrived two minutes late today.
  • Lunch finished, I took the plate over to the sink, used the loo for one tinkle then plopped online and started reading my daily Bible passages.
  • When PIG mum let Ari inside, I used the loo for one more tinkle then  headed over to the kitchen and made a pasta bake with Ari! Photos should be   on Facebook  and I enjoyed one bowl for arvo tea along with one huge mug of some herbal  tea.
  • After using the loo for one tinkle, I plopped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the  178TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of the previous post.
  • When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner @ 7:25pm, 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 cabbage, some yummy tomato mince and like one slice of tasteless soup pork.
  • 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, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

  • Righteo, hopefully bbl after one last tinkle with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final  events for tonight plus what's happening Friday else wishing everyone a smashing end to  the week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em.   ^^
