Tuesday Post 214

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding only 991 steps (so must've passed 1000 before Tuesday ends XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'to Your Tears'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Responsibility And The 'Ability To Respond'" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Harvest His Blessings'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:50am 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*
• Afterwards, Daddy    Bear and I cuddle for a MASSIVE snore: I slept through the usual nature   calling @ 7:56am and didn't wake again for the pot :P until nearly 9am! Shortly after the second pot :P trip 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's ankle a very brief rub since she'd totally ignored my   poor foot last night. Doesn't matter, Era rubbed Elf's ankle 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. XD
• Once PIG mum opens the front door for Peggy, she knocks, opens the bedroom door and announces, "Good morning." When Daddy Bear gives a paw flop @ her, she next states, "Fifteen more minutes.". Daddy Bear gives one more paw flop signaling 'yes' then imperiously flaps his paw going 'shoo'! Peggy smirks but wisely closes the door and leaves us be, thus saving her   from the wrath of the Bear Bum.  XD
• After I've counted down from 900, I swing myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle and announce that I'm hungry to Peggy. She comes, we get me kitted and then I   head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who's already squirted some toothpaste for me~
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table with Peggy, who tells me that she had her usual two   fried eggs for breakfast this morning.
• Me, breakfast's one/two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*

• After breakfast, Peggy slathers sunscreen over my face and both hands before accompanying me back to the bathroom then returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast things 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 Auto (pronounced Alto) and Peggy tootles me off to Pinelands Plaza, grabbing a trolley for us after parking. Also thanks to Peggy who kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt all day~
• First, we buy groceries from Coles; when I next pop into the Pinelands Bakehouse to grab my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi, Aunty Nancy greets me beaming with a belated Easter present: a small packet of Lindt milk chocolate balls!
• Our other stop's Sunnybank Plaza for the Ben And Jerry's ice cream! 
• But WHOOPS: April the 14th's AMERICA'S Free Cone Day, Brisbane's isn't until May the 5th!! XD
• Instead, Peggy took me to browse Kmart - and I had SO MUCH FUN WINDOWSHOPPING!! :D 
• Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Came home for a nice hot 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 crunchy pork  bahn mi plus one huge mug of yummy earl grey tea; the only pity was that Peggy couldn't find where the sneaky parents had hidden the sweetener! >< XD
• Peggy got PIG mum to   sign her off @ precisely 2pm but mother was her usual yappy self and wouldn't let Peggy escape for another five minutes. XD
• Took plate to sink, used loo for one tinkle, did my daily Bible readings then plopped online.
• Thanks to dad who's already saved me some rice for arvo  tea~
• Jacinta's taking me to Toastmasters @ 5:30pm; looking forward to seeing Jack again!
• And Teresa biu jie's coming up from Melbourne; I've not seen her since 2012!!!
• Toms we're just doing touristy stuff with biu jie and PIG mum's already cancelled my support. >< *sigh* GG's still on term break; wonder will dad take me to church to play table tennis with him/are we still out with biu jie?
  
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 214b

 Heylo again, good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final2582.  plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2582. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• Breakfast is two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix 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 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 back of Cherry and once PIG mum's climbed aboard too, dearest dad tootles me off to see Ray, drooping us off right @ the gate! Pity PIG mum won't do that; she says she's not good enough a driver to. *sigh*
• I use the loo for one tinkle and when I exit the bathroom Ray immediately gifts me with an adorable souvenir: a 101 Dalmatians shoulder clip! <3
• Then I lie down for some acupuncture and massage. PIG mum's in her element, yapping unceasingly @ Ray; my gracious thanks to him for always replying and keeping a conversation flowing.

• Afterwards, dad tootles us  off to     Sunnybank  Hills Shoppingtown for a quick lunch before I see Peter for an AFO fix and OMG are we  running late? Since I get    to use Sparkless3!!
• Dunno   why   the  font size and dot point  size have suddenly changed, but hey. XD
• Dad got us a tuna Subway to  share for lunch;  we just drank his bottle of water.
• Then 'twas back  to  APO for  another boot fix and awesome, Gina made me a cup of  white tea with  two sugars!
• Back home,  Jacinta minded me from 4-6. PIG mum had given me one mug of herbal tea but after she'd headed upstairs Jacinta found the honey  and made me another mug of   vanilla  chai sweetened with one spoonful of honey! :D
• Happily read the  book  club novel for one hour, reaching pg. 300 @ exactly 4:20pm  and reaching pg. 325 @ 4:51pm. Then I had like forty minutes to  happily play match three games while Jacinta massaged Ela very gently for one full hour!
• At 5:55pm I sat over the loo for  two tinkles before signing Jacinta off with my thanks and byes. She's back toms night and taking  me to Toastmasters!All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news (Nine’s, read  by Melissa Downes) for the 66^TH time: Trump, Tomasi, Albanese, Ishaq (first name), Dar,  Probyn, Quigley, Todhunter,  Hammond,  Marles, Albanese, Zambic (heard), D’Alessandro, Fentiman, Crisafulli (heard),  Bavas, Aunban (heard), Putin  (heard), Trump, Liersch, Arbiter, Heagney, Jeffreys, Willison, Carrigan (heard),Bieber, Constance, Yash (first name), Panchal,   Spears,  Rugg, Malcolm, Garcia (heard), Rose,    Hatton, Denley,Reynolds, Jakob (first  name, heard), Funk (heard),  Dobbin, Johnson, McIlroy, unn (heard),Mathers, Bashir, Zorko, Dayne (first name, heard),Dearden,  Drinkwater (heard),  Foran  (heard),Buffy,Tahir, Taha and Kohler.

Monday Post 214

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2507 steps (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "You Cannot Lose In The End"; thirdly, TWFT topic's "I Have Set The Lord Always Before Me"; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Power Of Grace' and fifthly, Joni's devotional topic's 'No Greater Love' but sixthly and   way most importantly, I'm  really still owed ONE HOUR and SIXTEEN MINUTES online  after I use the loo once more  @ 9pm!! Anyways, events for today?

• Nature called once last night around 12:45pm; following another pot :P trip  after the Sun's rising, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore until 9am before waking for the pot :P again! Shortly afterwards,  PIG mum  begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs; soon, she's let herself into my room to hit  me with the  eye goo and help exceedingly slightly  with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and laying out the   tee before leaving  me to get myself mostly  independently kitted, which I comply with  after immediately struggling into the tee 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 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.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 214d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2024. Ha, I'm just over two grand. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After I tapped the nice hot water off and PIG mum dried the back of the chair for me, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until my bra strap needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying up.
• After I dried the loo seat I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped both feet 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.
• Did my weekly file backup then watched pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 66TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of today's second post.
  
• Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Our once-weekly family dinner out together was @ Ho Lin Wah. Ate nearly (but not quite 1.5 bowls of honey chicken rice and almost (but again not quite) one bowl of thin soupy ho fan, drank half the set soup, one cup of Chinese tea and just over one mouthful of the hot HK-style milk tea.
• Got home, returned online then used loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm.
• Toms: morning appointment to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage, early arvo appointment @ APO to fix my AFO and a mid-arvo appointment @ Breathe for physio! Hence why Jacinta's with me until 6pm~

  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

•  After reading for one hour, I happily played some version of Bejeweled on my mobile until woke from her long arvo and tossed me one banana, one plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea for arvo tea.
• Then I took a nice hot shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today.   I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was all done after only 10% but happily leaned fully against the right-side rail before calling PIG mum back.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• While reading The Collected Regrets Of Clover, I reached pg. 325 @ 4:26 and reached pg. 333 @ exactly 4:35pm. Have I said yet? This book takes me two minutes to read one page.

Sunday Post 214

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1331 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "The Great King's Wine"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'True Repentance Brings Restoration' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Slow Anger'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, for the first time in three days, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call am and after one pot :P trip I immediately try falling back asleep before PIG mum starts STOMPING around upstairs very soon!
• Instead, fifty-odd breaths in, noisy PIG mum goes a-THUMP, and I realise I'll not fall back asleep this morning. Instead, 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, 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 dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P, all my usual   drugs :P   and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude.

See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles us off to church and parks outside the service hall. I hike up the ramp, use the disabled loo myself for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then grab my usual spot on the most left.
• Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Stayed seated for worship; sang everything plus the harmony for four songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Ezekiel; his sermon today was Psalm 73: When The Grass Is Greener On The World's Side."
• Used loo for another tinkle, had morning tea behind church then had lunch with dad @ Hungry Jack's (a chicken royale burger, ten chips and a small orange juice) while everyone else from ESS enjoyed Korean food together. *sigh*
• Got home, used loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era, did the daily Bible readings then plopped online for myself.
• Wonder where dad will take us for dinner tonight? Yay that he says I can watch the 6pm news first~
• Toms: provided Ray's back from holidays, PIG mum'll help me up and I'll see him for some acupuncture and massage. Bet she's DYING to yap unceasingly @ him; me, I'm just hoping Ray remembered to bring back a souvenir for me! XD
• Unsure does PIG mum wanna grocery shop before coming home for lunch with dearest dad.
• Jacinta's minding me from 2pm till 6pm toms and taking me to Breathe for physio. Maybe we'll grocery shop afterwards before coming home for a shower?
• May not get the time to read the book club novel for one hour but looking forward to watching the 6pm news!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2724. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• When nature randomly called @ 8:40pm, 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.
• I continued reading and sharing my Facebook memories then @ 9pm walked myself slowly and safely once more 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: just church, definitely nothing special.  Would love lunch out with other ESS peoples but will only get like a pissy little cheeseburger, around ten chips and an orange juice with   dad @ the Rochedale Hungry Jacks. *sigh* 
• Also expecting a stressful  arvo  @ the hands of   PIG mum. >< *another sigh* But hoping to read for one hour and watch the 6pm news for the 66TH time!

  Cheers,

• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was one bowl of rice leftovers (Jane couldn't find the oyster sauce so added some teriyaki sauce instead!)  and two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey. I happily continued reading, reaching pg. 200 @ 12:06pm. Lunch finished, I again asked Jane to please massage Ela again, since she was just tapping @ her smartphone.
• Before leaving I sit over the loo once more for two tinkles but @ church I ask Jane to please take me again to the bathroom for one more tinkle since we arrived heaps early.
• Lol, we arrive early enough that dad gets Jane to play table tennis with me for a while; she's a natural!
• At 1pm I sign her off with my thanks and byes; tonight her partner's taking her to see some cabaret! She's back next Friday~
• Dad and I had great fun playing; he not only lemme win in straight sets; he even lemme win the set he wanted to win to save face! XD But he hit me with the ball ELEVEN times, meaning I came home full of holes.  >< XD
• Coming back home; dad lemme ask Cherry to open the sunroof! The piece under it's the shade, BTW.
• Back home, I used the loo for one more tinkle then sat and read for a good long while, since it's only Saturday then I can spend a blessed three hours reading~ This arvo, I finished pg.  222 @ 2:48pm, reached pg. 225 @ exactly 2:50, finished pg.  250 @ 3:29pm and reached pg. 275 @ 4:04pm.

Saturday Post 214

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2512 steps (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "What's Well-Placed Shame?"; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Fight For Your Marriage"; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'A Portrait Of Dependence' and fifthly, Em's final, final plodding total for Friday's 3519 (ha,  I'm just over 3.5 grand XD But the poor Broncos lost to  the Cowboys! ><) but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm   really still owed TWENTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after dinner tonight!!  Anyways, events for today?

• Nature called once around 12:45am; after the first morning pot :P trip around  6:35am 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*
• When nature calls again one hour later, after 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*
• Afterwards, Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me not waking again for the pot :P until awoken by PIG mum's 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's ankle 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 but obviously peeled the sock off first thing this morning! XD
• When PIG mum lets Jane inside @ 9:30am, Jane knocks, pushes open the door, calls out "Good morning, Em; fifteen more minutes" then closes the door immediately after Daddy Bear flops his paw once @ her; he's not even got the time to wave his paw 'shoo'! XD
• Once I've counted down 900 seconds, I announce "Jane, I'm hungry!" then swing myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle. Jane immediately comes, we get me kitted and then I head over to  the bathroom   and brush teeth. After drinking one full 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 tells me that she had her usual breakfast smoothie for her morning meal.
• Me, I get my once-weekly fried egg on dry (unbuttered) toast, another full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and one delicious mug of earl grey tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey. Over and after breakfast, I happily read the book club novel for thirty minutes. Jane tidies my   bedroom then sits @ the gobbling :P table to play with her mobile, hence why I ask her please massage Ela, which she does after putting the dishes into the sink.
• After reading for thirty minutes, I ask Jane to please gimme some sunscreen before I use the loo for one more tinkle while she shuts and locks windows.
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Sarah. Jane's planning to get rid of her @ the end of this year! 
• Jane tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace and parks underground before getting a trolley.
• First  we buy a jug  of   lite milk  from   Woolies and then I just lean against  the benchtop while Jane   gets me  a honey chicken   sushi roll  from  Sushi  Creators.
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Friday Post 214

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3193 steps (ha, I'm over three grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Talk To God, Not Just About Him'; thirdly, TWFT topic's  "How To 'Renew' Your Mind" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Safe In God's Hands". Anyways, events for today?

• Grr, nature spoiled my five-night awesome sleep streak when she called @ 12:45am! >< Never mind, 'twas still a sound sleep nevertheless; I was prolly  just too   excited after attending book club~ *sigh*
• After another pot :P  trip falling  the Sun's rising,  I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, nature calling once more around 9am, shortly 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 and give poor Elf's ankle a very brief rub, since she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night. That's alright; Era rubbed Elf for fifteen minutes last night and let her wear her sock to sleep last night although obviously tugged the sock off first thing this morning! XD
• When the home phone starts ringing, I yell "Phone!"  and mother hurries into my room and answers it, saying "Oh, it's prolly the NAB ringing to cancel your appointment."
• She's correct: physio has been cancelled since the student's ill! Usually, I must endure sessions of blasted physio weekly from the very first week of the year until the week of Christmas before I get two weeks of annual leave but since Monday past was Easter Monday and I didn't haveta have Breathe physio, it should mean I've not had to endure any physio this week! :D
• Once PIG mum lets Jane inside, Jane knocks, opens the door and says, "Good morning, Em, fifteen more minutes."  Daddy Bear nods his head @ her and Jane immediately closes the door and leaves, not giving him the chance to imperiously wave his paw 'shoo' @ her!" XD
• When she comes back and taps me up, I use the pot :P for three more tinkles and happily tell her that since NAB physio got cancelled, mother has decided that we can hike Underwood Lake today!
• We get me kitted; I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth then sit over the loo for one tinkle. After sitting over the loo for one tinkle, I wash and dry Era before heading out to the gobbling :P table with Jane, who tells me that she had her usual breakfast smoothie for her morning meal today.
• Since NAB physio was cancelled, I'd thought PIG mum would immediately reduce my dry (no honey) Weet-Bix from three to two and neither gimme a slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt, but she didn't, score!  I also pop all my usual drugs :P and drink 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 finishing breakfast, I call Jane back and ask her to please gimme some sunscreen (face and both arms/hands). That done, she accompanies me back to the loo 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 backseat of Sarah and Jane tootles me off to Underwood Park for another hike; the first was three days ago (Tuesday!) Thanks to her who kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt all day~
• We get the disabled park; Jane takes a photo for me @ the map board and then we hike around the lake! I take a lie-down on one of the sunlounges and cheerfully greet whoever walks past. There's one couple with a beautiful long-haired German Shepherd who comes over and even lets me hold her leash for a while, saying her name's Celeste!
• After the 400m hike, our other stop's Underwood MarketPlace to buy a 2L carton of milk from   Woolies. Jane parks out the front and grabs a trolley for us. Why I like grocery shopping with the carers more than with the parents:  they lemme sit on the self-serve checkout machine. XD
  Cheers,
  Em.

Thursday Post 214c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2226.  Aww, how come I   couldn't have plodded four steps fewer?? 2222 would've   been a cooler number!! XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• Twelve attended tonight; Mr.  Lindsay came back and Second Mum was here!  Only she   ran outta time to make chocolate brownies and won't attend next month since she's attending some Lions AFL match. Coolest thing tonight: instead of tea/coffee, there was hot chocolate!
• Book club actually ended ten minutes early, but Erika and Lorraine were having a lovely chat and didn't make a move on until some library announced the thirty minutes before closing announcement!
• How cool: for the first time tonight, I used my digital library card! I still remember all the way back during primary school, my very first library card was light blue and started with 15/!
• Back home, dinner was rice, lotsa yummy cauliflower,  lotsa some green flat Asian vegetable, some tofu and a few slices of pork.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself sand safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: Jane's minding me am till 2pm and taking me for 2hrs of physio @ the NAB. I missed; last Friday coz 'twas the Good Friday holiday meaning I'll have four weeks this rotation.
• After Jane sees me home, showered, fed with lunch and leaves @ 2pm; Ari's coming and giving   Ela one hour of unfunctional exercises.
• Will  skip starting  to  read the new book  club novel for one hour  since I've gotta  read the day's Bible passages and enjoy my most    important  two hours of the day online and watch the  6pm news for the 65TH  time,  wolf down  dinner then be seated on  the sofa and watching the    Broncos play   the  Cowboys! Will  be happy whoever wins. XD
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 214b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2160 (ha, I'm over two grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Distracted By Service'. Righteo,  continuing  events for today?

• 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 munch arvo tea (one juice pear, one plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea) and read Feist's newest novel for the forty minutes until 5:25pm.
• At 5:25pm I sat over the loo for two more tinkles, coming   out when dad called "Em, Lorraine's here" and demanded "Come out now!"
  
• Clambered into Lorraine's slightly bigger car (there's a step, I can manage it without the block dad made me for Hannah's car) and she tootled me off to the Logan Noeth Library for book club!
• After using the loo for one tinkle I was again the first to arrive, but Erika arrived right after and gave me a lovely handmade birthday card and perfume bottle!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 614

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1174 steps (phew, I'm over one thousand steps although I'd thought I'd done more since today GCCW was inside Meeting Room Three? Doesn't matter~); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Talk To God, Not Just About Him'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Live On For A Purpose' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Prompted By Love'.  Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:50am  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 again for the pot :P around 7:45am.  Actually, PIG mum begins her noisy daily a-THUMPING around upstairs while I've over the commode! XD 
• PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor   Elf a very brief rub, since she totally ignored poor Elf last night (as she's done for the past TEN DAYS) before letting Louiza inside when she announces her arrival @ 8am. 
• Louiza knocks, opens the door and says good morning. When Daddy Bear flops a paw @ her, she continues "I'll help you up in fifteen more minutes, okay?" Daddy Bear gives another paw nod then flicks his paw imperiously @ her 'shoo'. Louiza snorts with amusement and wisely withdraws.   XD
• When Louiza comes back, I sit over the pot :P once more for three tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Lol I ask Louiza to replicate the pretty pattern my Minion toothbrush has on the toothbrush, and she somehow manages the top tip! XD
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table with Louiza, who tells me that she had a bagel for breakfast.
• Me, I only get one dry (no honey) Weet-Bix with some Minus :P, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh* I also enjoyed watching Sunrise~
• After breakfast, I ask Louiza to please gimme some sunscreen before she walks behind me back to the loo then returns to the kitchen and washes 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 Louiza's car, she kindly helps me buckle my   seatbelt and then she tootles me off to the Garbo library for GCCW. Since traffic was pretty bad along Logan Road this morning, I don't arrive @ the library until 9:27am hence skip the toilet trip and just head straight into the meeting room.
• Today we were all the way down in Meeting Room Three but @ least we weren't @ the end! Only seven attended but I got a belated Easter present from   Tammy (a Humpty Dumpty Easter chocolate egg plus a Darrell Lea chocolate bilby that I ate immediately over morning tea) and my first Christmas present: a Minio tea towel; <3 the Minions!! :D <3
• Only the chocolate bilby was that sweet I asked Tammy to please make me another cup of tea, white and two! Phew she didn't charge me more cash than the initial five bucks. XD
• Meeting ended four minutes early today and homework for next meeting's "I didn't see it coming..."
• Louiza took me once more to the loo then 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 shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted  lunch was a tuna in tomato and onion with cheese toastie washed down with one cup of powdered HK-style milk tea. At 1:15pm I signed Louiza off with my thanks and byes; she's back same time next week.
• After taking the cup over to the sink I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly   and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Once I've used up the most important two hours of the day, I'll head over to the gobbling :P table and ask PIG mum for some arvo tea before sitting over the loo for two tinkles @ 5:25pm:  Lorraine's taking me to book club tonight @ 5:30!
• Best of all, it's ice cream night toms night; like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Toms: Holidays are over; Jane's taking me to UQ for two hours' physio then toms arvo I'm cooking sth  with Ari. 
• Will prolly  skip reading the new book for one hour since reading the day's Bible verses and spending my most important two hours of the day online's more important, wanna watch the 6pm   news for the 65TH time, scoff down dinner then be seated on the couch to watch the Broncos play the Cowboys!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl tonight, else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Wednesday Post 614d

 Good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ exactly 2500 (nice number, eh? Actually, 'twas 2496 but the number pissed me off so much I stood up, walked four steps forward and sat back down again XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'An Inventory Of Tears' but thirdly and way most importantly, should PIG mum really boot me off to bed @ 9:45pm, I'm really still owed THIRTY-THREE MINUTES online!! >< *sigh* What a crummy way to end an otherwise good day ...  but just noting down that after PIG mum helped me up late (didn't get   outta the bedroom until 9:50am) we bought groceries from the Woolies @ Warrigal Square before coming home for lunch. Jane took me to play table tennis and saw me home and showered before leaving @ 6:30pm. She's back Friday and taking me to the NAB for two hours of physio with some new student! Happily watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 64TH time (all the things I like recording are @ the bottom of the previous post) had the usual boiled and tasteless dinner then went to play table tennis with dad again, this time @ church! Usually the session ends @ 9pm and unsure why dad demanded I leave @ 8:57pm but hey. Louiza's minding me from 8am till 1:30pm toms and taking me to GCCW! Don't have time for lunch out since her shift ends @ 1:30pm but I need a shower but I'm excited since Lorraine's taking me to book club @ 5:30pm and Second Mum says she's coming! Best of all it's ice cream night toms night; like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all! Righteo, hope everyone's having a smashing week!

Cheers,

Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap before leaving me    to   get myself mostly independently kitted, which I apcomply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.

Wednesday Post 614b

 Heylo again, good afternoon and please excuse the first post; you know I always get too excited whenever I get to post online before midday. XD Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1222 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Make Satan Know His Defeat'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'You Can Make A Difference' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'God Our Provider' but fifthly  and way most importantly, I'm really ONE HOUR and FORTY MINUTES  still owed  online after I get home tonight!!

Tuesday Post 613d

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for today now stands @ 3591. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• Kelvin doesn't actually stick any whirring instruments nor have a dental nurse with him while he sees me, he just pops the new mouth splint in, feels around it, tells me it's good and releases me!
• Major disappointment: the parents don't lemme have breakfast @ Maccas. >< *sigh*
• But breakfast's still awesome:  CAKE for   BREAKFAST CAN'T BE   WRONG!! XD :D I immediately thank Anna and she immediately responds! Mother also makes me one mug of (unsweetened, obviously) Milo to wash breakfast down with. 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*
• When Peggy arrives @ 9:30am, she slathers sunscreen over my face and both arms then 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 backseat of   Auto (pronounced Alto) and Peggy tootles me off to Pinelands Plaza. Thanks to her who helped me with my seatbelt all day.
• Unfortunately, all the disabled parks are taken, and Peggy doesn't find a spot until about halfway down Pinelands Plaza. *sigh*
• We go buy my bahn mi for lunch first! Aunty Nancy's manning the shopfront, when I appear she cries "Emily! I no see you last week!" I reply, "Sorry, lunch with friend. Want to come but mother say no. But back today!" After she hands me the bahn mi Aunty Nancy asks uncertainly, "You back next week?" I reply "Hopefully!"
• Our other stop's Underwood Lake for my first hike-around this year! The water dragon comes out  to   say hi; must  remember to bring a towel next time I visit: the sunlounges are rather uncomfy lying after awhile! XD
• Only fifteen minutes left, so just briefly (and excuse typing  errors, please):
• Home, shower, bahn mi plus one huge mug of   delicious vanilla chai  sweetened with one spoonful  of honey for lunch.
• Enjoyed my most important   two  hours of  the  day online, read the newest Feist novel for one hour and watched the 6pm  news (Nine's) for   the  63RD time.  All the things I  like recording   are @ the bottom of today's today's 2nd post.

Tuesday Post 613b

 Heylo again, good afternoon and please excuse the first post; you know I always get too excited whenever I get to post before midday.   XD Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3395 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'What It Means To Pray For Your Enemy'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Humble Yourself, And Try To Make It Right' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Does Of The Scriptures' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and EIGHT MINUTES online after I watch  the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 63RD time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:30am (just like yesterday) 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*
• Phew I managed to fall back asleep before PIG mum came to hit me with the eye goo; I'd been that sleepy this morning I'd forgotten that I was seeing Kelvin the dentist and collecting my new mouth splint; I was actually being squeezed in before the day's appointments started!
• PIG mum helped me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and laid out the tee for me; I immediately struggled into it then gave myself fifteen more minutes before getting myself mostly independently kitted. After giving myself fifteen more minutes first I switched the tee back around the right way; originally stupid Ela had gotten the sleeves confused and I was wearing the tee inside-out! XD
• PIG mum returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :(   me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Lol, I'm not fed any breakfast this morning: just all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water before the parents take me to see Kelvin and get my new mouth splint!
• Wow I've actually just been   squeezed into  the  day's appointments  and  haveta ask  Kelvin  may I   lie down fully into  his   dental  chair! XD
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S.

Monday Post 613g

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2686. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I read and shared the She Reads Truth devotional then started watching the Broncos' full match replay that I found this morning!
• At 9pm I walked 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: a super-early start for me; I've got like a 9am appointment to see Kelvin and get my new mouth splint! Keep forgetting to ask Bing how come I grind my teeth @ night.   XD
• FINGERS CROSSED PIG mum lets me have breakfast @ Macca's; can't remember the last time that happened!
• Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm roundabouts; PIG mum says if it's cool enough, I can take my first hike around Underwood Lake this year!
• Presuming we'll then buy groceries from Pinelands Coles and get my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi before coming home for a shower and lunch.
• Nothing happening once Peggy leaves; looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online, looking forward to reading the new Feist novel for another hour and hoping to watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 63RD time!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,Em. ^^

Monday Post 613f

 Good evening again! Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2626 (nice number XD). Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• When PIG mum   summons me for dinner, I use the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk 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:  leftovers from dinner last night topped with soup melon and other soup vegetables. Thanks to PIG mum who gave me one strand of udon although she's correct: I don't like curry.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl   of soup; after taking the soup over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Righteo,  hopefully  bbl  after one last  plodding total @ 9pm with my  final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight pllus what's happening toms else wishing  everyone a smashing Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers,

Monday Post 613e

 Good evening! Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2517 (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD). Righteo, continuing today's events?

• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era 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. 
•  Yay when Jacinta arrived one-minute late dad was working in the garage, meaning she just let   herself inside and saved me from a potentially dangerous trip to the front door.
• So a nice hot shower for me - hairwash today.  Also thanks to Jacinta who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted,  arvo tea was one juicy pear, one plain cracker and TWO big mugs of delicious vanilla chai sweetened with one spoonful of honey! Jacinta offered another mug and obviously I said yes please. XD
• Happiness was then having like twenty-five minutes to play Bejeweled-type games, while Jacinta massaged Ela and played with her own mobile.
• At 5:55pm I sat once more over the loo for two tinkles, asked Jacinta please for a pad change then signed her off with my thanks and byes @ 6pm.  She's back same time next Monday.
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 62ND time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of the previous post.
• Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm. Presume we're buying   groceries from Pinelands Coles - bbl!
  Cheers,
  Em.   ^^
  P.S. Tee hee I've managed FIVE posts today! Yeah, that's possible some Mondays~  XD

Monday Post 613d

 Good afternoon again and potentially one final greeting for Monday! Em's potential final, final plodding total for today now stands @ 2272. Aww, how come I couldn't have plodded fifty steps fewer; 2222 steps would've looked cooler! XD Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• After breakfast I walk myself slowly and safely back to the loo, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I 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. First I read the day's Bible passages then tootle online for myself after using the loo for one more tinkle.
• When the parents summon me over for lunch, I note the time down then walk 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. 
• Lunch is two tiny slices of oven-baked pizza, 1.5 slices of deliciously crunchy buttery garlic bread and one huge mug of delicious Chinese tea.
• After lunch, I take my plate over to the sink then return briefly online before using the loo for one more tinkle then climbing into the backseat of Cherry - dad's taking us to the Hyperdome!
• My main disappointment's that the parents wouldn't lemme use Sparkless3 (my manual wheelchair) when we got there, thus denying me the chance to window-shop. *sigh* Just over twenty years ago, when we still lived in Shailer Park, we'd go there nearly every Thursday for the late-night shopping!'
• First we bought groceries from Woolies and then we headed for dad's favourite shop: Donut King! XD
• But 'twas closed for Easter Monday! >< I was super-pissed that I'd hiked all the way there for nothing but luckily dad spots a Boost Juice in the distance and says I'll get a mango magic for us; you two sit down. PIG mum and I head to the closed JP table where there's two armchairs, one already occupied by a singlet and thong-wearing, heavily tattooed man. As I slide into the table I trip and cause a clatter bur regain my balance and safely sit; after I'm down the singlet and thongs tattooed guy laughs and tells me, "I thought I'd haveta jump up and save you!" I laugh back and bid him a Happy Easter. XD
  
• While PIG mum's window shopping and dad and I are poking @ our mobile phones, suddenly Nsync's 1999 hit It's Gonna Be Me airs over the sound system and even though it came out in 1999 - more than 1/4 CENTURY ago, I can still sing the song word for word! Phew, goes to show that while the cruel and unfaithful God's shot my short-term memory to sh*t, my long-term memory's thankfully mostly still intact.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ only 516 (but leaving the house next) but secondly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY-NINE MINUTESonline after I get home this arvo!! Righteo, continuing today's events?

• Breakfast is one/two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix, very lightly sprinkled with some Milo cereal 
  (my Sunday breakfast usually but PIG mum forgot yesterday 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*

   Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 612b

 Heylo again, good morning again 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 exactly 444 steps (nice number! XD) today (since I've obviously not left the house yet); secondly, John Piper's daily   devotional topic from last night's 'The Books @ The Judgement'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Healing For Your Mind' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Faithful And Forgiving'  but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and SIX MINUTES online  after I get home this afternoon! Anyways, events for today?

•  Yay, 2nd awesome consecutive 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* After swinging back to bed I realised my monthlies had arrived; kudos to PIG mum for anticipating this and sticking a pad in my knickers last night!
• Can't remember did nature call again around 7:45am but it definitely did around 9am, just before noisy 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 and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and laying out of the tee before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into the tee, giving myself fifteen more minutes and  using the pot :P for one more tinkle first.
• PIG mum returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth.  That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Breakfast is one/two dry (no honey) Weet- - bbl!
  Cheers,

Sunday Post 612d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2578. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After drying the loo seat I sat for one tinkle, stamped both feet dry, dried inside both ears, 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.
• Less than thirty minutes, so just super-briefly:
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 61ST time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of the today's first post.
• Had dinner out tonight @ some Japanese place behind Underwood MarketPlace; unsure where the post has gone?? XD
• Came home, returned online and used the loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm.
• Toms: Easter Monday public holiday but Jacinta's still minding me 4-6pm, phew!
• Hope PIG mum helps me up no later than 9:15am then takes me grocery shopping and aisle walking @ some grocery store else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
• Hoping to read the Feist novel for one hour then watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 62ND time!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Found it! Dinner was @ Ikkairo Sushi @ Underwood MarketPlace; yay for tempura sweet potato! 

Sunday Post 612c

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2512 (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "It's True! The Lord Has Risen!" Anyways, continuing today's events?

• After I'd enjoyed my most important two hours of the day online, I headed over to the gobbling :P table, asking PIG mum could you please gimme some arvo  tea? Don't have time to read this arvo since I've gotta shower before watching the news!
• Ooh clever PIG mum had already left me one very ripe banana, one plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea for  arvo tea! After munching them I announced shower time and headed out to the bathroom.
• So a nice hot shower for me    -   I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was all done 11% but happily leaned fully against the right-side side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling PIG mum back.
• After PIG mum dried the back of the chair for me, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until my bra strap needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 612

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1708 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily   devotional topic from last night's 'God Strengthens Us Through Others' (uh, wasn't that yesterday's devotional?); thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Jesus Conquered Death For You' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Resurrection Power'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:50am and after one pot :P trip I immediately tried to fall back asleep since wasn't PIG mum coming to help me up @ like 7am?
• Sure enough, thirteen breaths after I start recounting myself back to sleep, noisy PIG mum goes 'thump' and sleep's not possible anymore. Instead, 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*
• Once PIG mum lets her into my room, she hits me with the eye goo and helps exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into the tee then giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth.  That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly   and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• My special Sunday breakfast: the pink Milo cereal that PIG mum bought me for my birthday last month! I also pop all my usual drugs :P and drink one huge 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*

There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel.

See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era I climb into the backseat of Cherry and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles us off to church and parks outside the service hall. I hike up the ramp, use the 2nd cubicle of the regular female toilets (since both the disabled and 1st cubicle of the regular ladies' loo have lids closed but obviously awful PIG mum won't help me lift it), wash and dry both hands then grab my usual spot @ service on the most left.
• Yay I get to stay seated for worship today~ I sing everything, plus the harmony   for four songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Pastor Peter Pie spoke today with his last sermon in the Joshua series: Choosing God In A World Of Choice.
• Sermon ended ten minutes early today; I used the bathroom again, sat just outside the stairs to munch one packet of bikkies and drink one cup of white (but sugarless) tea then hiked upstairs to attend the baptism!
• Seven sisters were dunked today; wonder why Jenny had a friend enter the water with her? She says she was asked to invite someone if she liked~
• Afterwards, thanks to Kwany who hiked to the front with me for the group photo~
• Afterwards, Dr. Lee tootled me to Svboda Park for the picnic!
• Originally I was just sitting in Sparkless3, but Peter Pie had that little table and said wanna move to the mats? I said sure, but please pull me back upright afterwards!
• Rosana bought me a DELICIOUS lemongrass pork chop with rice and a bubble tea! Whoops $27 seems rather expensive; I'll apologies to PIG mum tonight~ I really enjoyed stretching out both legs and chatting with Yu Lam, Rosanna and KK~
• Afterwards, Dr. Lee dropped me home, I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• Wonder where dad will take us for dinner tonight?
• Toms: unsure am I seeing Ray for treatment tonms but if not hope PIG mum takes me for walkies somewhere else expect   a super-pissy plodding total from me.
• But phew Jacinta's minding me from 4-6pm; fingers crossed I'll watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 62ND time, provided I can watch it for the 61ST time tonight!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 612c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4557. Sweet I'm even over 4.5 grand; that's even less common than four grand! XD Back to using Wally toms though, since PIG mum's figured out that I should divide his total by 2.5 to get an accurate number ... Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• Back home, I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Jacinta who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, before lunch I get a choc chip hot cross bun from Jacinta as an entree! :D
• Whoops less than fifteen minutes left so just super-briefly:
• Came home, showered and had lunch.
• Played table tennis with dad @ church then came home, enjoyed the custard tart for arvo  tea and rest for most of the afternoon; it's only Saturday's that I can spend a blessed three hours reading~
  
• Watched the news (Nine's) for the 60TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of the first post.
• Had dinner then returned online.
• Toms: just church, nothing special. Oh, the special thing's that EM's having  a baptism afterwards followed with a picnic lunch; Dr.  Lee will   drive me and Rosanna will grab takeaway for us!
• Wanna watch the Broncos vs. Titans replay and read match  report after match report to bask in  their  glory! XD
• Righteo, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 612b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4260 (sweet I'm over four grand; that doesn't haven too often!) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Always Giving Thanks' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed SEVENTEEN MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, events for today?

• EPIC FAILURE last night. >< When nature called last night @ 1:30am I transferred myself over to the pot :P and started widdling but immediately clenched and stopped after hearing the first drop hit the floor - PIG mum had forgotten to put the pot :P into the commode for me last night and I'd forgotten to check before relaxing and peeing! >< Era thumped the wall and I screeched upstairs PIG mum you forgot to gimme the pot :P last night and I forgot to check before peeing, but I immediately stopped when I heard the pee and please come downstairs and gimme the pot :P back since I've not finished peeing yet! Only she was too deeply asleep and didn't respond; five minutes later I banged the wall again and repeated my message; phew, she finally came downstairs this time. Her bad for forgetting to leave me the pot :P last night; my bad for forgetting to check before peeing! XD
• 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*
• Daddy Bear and I then cuddle and have a massive snore, me not waking again until nearly 9am! After the second pot :P trip, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh* Shortly after that, 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 a very brief rub since she totally ignored my foot last night, like she's done ALL WEEK. Never mind, Era rubbed Elf for fifteen minutes last night and let her sleep last night wearing her sock but obviously remembered to pull it off before PIG mum came to help me with the pot :P before pulling it back on after she left! XD
• After Jacinta arrives @ 9:30am, she knocks, opens the door and calls "Good morning, Em!" Daddy Bear nods a paw in response to her greeting; when she says, "Fifteen more minutes, okay?" Daddy Bear gives another paw nod then flicks his paw imperiously 'shoo' @ her. Jacinta smirks but wisely leaves us be, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
• Once I've counted down from 900 seconds, I swing myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle and announce to Jacinta that I'm hungry. She immediately comes, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I drink one tall cup of water before sitting over the loo proper. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I head out with Jacinta to the gobbling :p  table. Breakfast's my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with some avocado, my first big mug of vanilla chai sweetened with one spoonful of honey, all my usual drugs :P and a second tall cup of water, Over and after breakfast, I happily read Feist's newest novel for thirty minutes. finishing page twenty-five @ 10:39am. 
• After Jacinta covers my face and both arms with sunscreen she closes and locks windows while I use the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era before climbing into the passenger seat of her car.  Jacinta helps me buckle my seatbelt (as she kindly does all day) then tootles us out to Underwood Marketplace, parking outside the front and grabbing a trolley for us.
• At Woolies PIG mum wants milk and cheap bread; Jacinta also buys a six-pack of chocolate hot cross buns and a water jug filter.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 612f

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! With a final, final plodding total of 3308 (PIG mum had better gimme my bag and mobile to carry toms! ><) lemme just cover final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I read and watched the preview for the Broncos vs. Titans game toms night (since both are Queensland teams, I'm happy whoever wins but I'm more cheering for the Broncos since it's Walsh's 100TH match!) then had ten minutes to play the fish version of Bejeweled.
• 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 9:45am till 1pm.  I've already reminded PIG mum to please gimme fifteen more minutes @ 9:30am so I'll get outta bed once Jacinta arrives.
• Will buy my arvo tea honey chicken sushi roll plus whatever groceries PIG mum wants from Woolies (she didn't want anything last week) and come home and shower (pretty sure Jacinta will gimme two more big mugs of white tea with sweetener) and eat lunch before Jacinta drops me off @ church to play table tennis with dad!
• May haveta skip watching the 6pm  news bulletin for  the  60TH time since I'm planning to read the newest  Feist novel that Mrs. Burvill-Shaw sent me last month  for my  birthday for three  hours only I've also gotta do my daily Bible readings!
