Sunday Post 639b

 Heylo again, good afternoon again and potentially one final greeting for today! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2465. Positive I'll have cracked 2.5 grand before the day's out.  XD Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• After I'd used up the most important two hours of the day, I used the loo for one then sat @ the gobbling :P table and asked PIG mum for some arvo tea, please.
• Can't remember what fruit I ate but enjoyed one tasty cracker and drank one huge mug of green tea while sharing my  Facebook memories. Today marks 1.5 DECADES since I last visited Disneyland!!
• Took a nice warm shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly and most hatefully sang 15^ of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
• I have one tinkle before I flip the nice warm  water off and call PIG mum  back; since she'll not even dry my back for me anymore  once she dried the back of the  chair I did everything and she didn't feature again until my bra strap needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
• After I dried the loo seat I sat for one tinkle, stamped both feet dry, washed and dried 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.
• Did my weekly file backup~
• Righteo, hopefully bbl tonight, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 639

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2114 steps (ha, I'm over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Five Purposes For Suffering'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Keep Your Priorities Straight' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Abounding Love'. Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 8th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like the past three/four nights, nature didn't call until   6:10am and after one pot :P   trip I immediately fell back asleep since I knew PIG mum would get very noisy exactly one hour later!
• Instead, Mini Pearl and I fell back so deeply asleep that I didn't wake until PIG mum opened my bedroom door and let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo! I quickly used the pot :P once more and then she helped me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply    with after pulling on the tee then giving myself fifteen more minutes first. Whilst doing so, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*

•  PIG mum 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 to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

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

• 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 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 second cubicle of the normal ladies' loo for one tinkle (since both the disabled loo and the first cubicle of the normal ladies' loo have lids down but PIG mum won't lift them for me), wash and dry Era 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 three songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*

• Steve from AFES spoke today (the Christian group @ QUT/Griffith Uni) and his sermon topic was Partners In The Proclamation Of Grace.

• After service ended fourteen minutes early today, PIG mum fetched me, I used the loo for one more tinkle then sat outside the service hall.

• Today was actually my lunch out with other EM people (totally UNFAIR that I only get to vshare lunch with my peers once every TWO MONTHS while the parents enjoy morning/arvo  tea out with their mates EVERY WEEK ><) but dad was in such a rush he made me eat lunch with him @ Hungry Jack's again! >< At least I shook a mini drumstick and an iced chocolate! Ate one cheeseburger and ten chips.

• Dad tootled us home, I used the loo for one more tinkle, washed and dried Era 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's taking us for dinner tonight?

• Toms: presuming PIG mum's helping me up and then I'm going to see ay for some acupuncture and massage before we buy groceries then come home for lunch with dearest dad?

• Roster still says TBA about who's supporting me from 4-6pm today; have already emailed Michelle asking.

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

Saturday Post 639c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2543. See? Told you I'd pass 2.5 grand! XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I happy played the HP version of Bejeweled; my achievement for this weekend, reaching level 500!
• Then I got so engrossed watching the tennis (women's finals) I forgot to ask PIG mum to please give Elf back her footwear! See, I called her over since Elf's big toe was itching and she'd removed all her footwear.
• One Elf's footwear was back on, I walked myself slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. Actually, the special thing's I'm joining EM for lunch!  Dunno how dad worked out with Peter Pie that I only get to join for lunch once every TWO MONTHS while the parents enjoy morning/arvo tea with their mates EVERY WEEK but I'm muchly looking forward to a proper meal out! Hoping the parents'll lemme use Sparkless3/ the entrance's close to the parked car since I'm still waiting for my new AFO and walking's quite literally pain right now. *sigh*
• Presuming the news toms again's only thirty minutes since the mens' finals next! Congrats to Rybakina, tonight's winner! PIG mum still can't pronounce the country she's from: Kazakhstan. XD
• Ooh, should dad take us out for dinner tonight it'll be the 2nd time this year I've been lucky enough to have both lunch and dinner out together! 
• Anyways, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Saturday Post 639b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2492 (so must have passed 2.5 grand before the night ends XD and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Just Do The Next Thing'. Righteo, continuing today's events?

• While Jane closes and locks windows I use the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then climb into the passenger seat of Sarah (SAZ's her rego plate XD). Thanks to Jane who kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt both ways.
• Score, today PIG mum lets me use Sparkless3, meaning I get to WINDOW SHOP!!  Not that Woolies has much worth window shopping. XD But when I buy my honey chicken sushi roll from Sushi Creators, I take some guide to Ramadan!
• Back home I take a nice warm shower - hairwash  today. Also thanks to Jane who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was one yummy bowl of the teriyaki chicken fried rice I'd cooked with Dorrie yesterday plus two more big mugs of white tea. The current T2 packet tastes fantastic; think there's some vanilla inside! I happily read for another forty-five minutes, reaching pg. 300 @ exactly 12:10pm and ask Jane please to give Ela a massage.
• After sitting over the loo for two more tinkles, Jane tootles me off to BCAC to play table tennis with dearest dad~ Once I'm seated inside, I sign her off with my thanks and byes. She's back next Wednesday and taking me to table tennis!
• Had great fun playing with dearest dad; coz he lemme win! XD But I've got slow reflexes and I got hit by his smashes like FOUR TIMES! O_o
• Back home I use the loo for one tinkle then sit to read until three hours; it's only Saturdays that I  can read for a blessed three hours~ I reached part four @ exactly 3:45pm, finished pg. 325 @ 3:29pm, reached pg. 333 @ 3:12pm and reached pg. 350 @ 3:36. I've nearly finished the book!
• Used the loo for one tinkle, plopped online, read today's Bible passages and happily watched the 6pm news for the 20TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post and tonight the news only went for thirty minutes since the women are playing the Australian Open final tonight!
• When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner @ 7:37pm I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• Dinner tonight: leftover teriyaki chicken fried rice from yesterday's cooking session with Dorrie plus some white rice, lotsa dearest dad's home-grown hairy melon, lotsa soup vegetables (tomato, onion, carrot and potato), two pieces of delicious snow fungus and one tiny chunk of tasteless soup pork.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I  walked myself slowly and safely back online, 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 loo  trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening Sunday, else looking forward to seeing  everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 639

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2333 steps (pity I'll not have plodded 1000 more steps before Saturday's out; 3333 would've looked cooler! XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Prevailing Grace'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Always Do Your Best' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Focused On God' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY-FOUR MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 20TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 7th consecutive awesome consecutive awesome sleep last night! Today's the last day in January and I've already managed three one-week consecutive awesome sleeps; maybe I can manage TWENTY-FIVE again this year? I've not achieved that for half a DECADE; the last time that happened was 2021!
• Nature didn't call until 6:10am and  after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Mini Pearl and I happily cuddled and snored. When nature called again around 7:45am, following another pot :P trip, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• More happy cuddling and snoring for Mini Pearl and me, nature calling once more around 9:15pm when noisy PIG mum's daily noisy a-THUMPING around wakes me for one more pot :P trip. At 9:30am, she lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and say fifteen more minutes, since I'll get up once Jane arrives @ 9:45am.
• Once PIG mum lets Jane inside and she enters my bedroom saying good morning, I immediately sit up, use the pot :P for one more tinkle and we get me kitted. That done, I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. After drinking one tall cup of water, I   sit over the loo proper.There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

• After washing and drying Era I head out to the gobbling :P table with Jane, who says she had her usual breakfast smoothie for her morning meal.

• I enjoyed my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) bread very lightly spread with avocado, drank   another tall cup of water, popped all my usual drugs :P and enjoyed my first mug of  white tea sweetened with one big spoonful of honey. Over and after breakfast, I happily   read for thirty minutes first up, reaching pg.  275 @ exactly 10:05am!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news (Nine's, read by Mia Glover) for the 20TH time: Jiselle (first name), Manning, O'Hara, Macaulay (first name), Culkin, Rocky (first name), Elsom, Huges, Crisafulli, Balme (heard), Trump, Putin (heard), Volodomyr (first name,  heard), Zelenskyy (heard), Mimi (first name, heard), Becker (heard), Gates (heard), Jelena (first name), Dokic, Sabalenka (heard), Mangione, Epstein, Mountbatten-Windsor (heard), Ryan, Kubler, Polmans, Dufficy, Djokovich, Alcaraz (heard), and Gildea.

• At 9pm I walked myself slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: Jane's minding me from 9:30am till like 1:30pm. Fingers crossed PIG mum'll lemme use Sparkless3 when we buy my honey chicken sushi roll from Sushi Creators plus whatever other groceries PIG mum wants from Woolies; I'll get to WINDOW SHOP! :D (Not that Woolies has much worth window shopping over XD)

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.

Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, Jane covers both arms and my face and accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing up the breakfast stuff.  Over the loo proper, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Sarah (Jane's car's numberplate reads SAZ) and she tootles me off to Breathe for physio. Thanks to Jane who kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt all day.
• We arrive early enough that I get about ten minutes to play the Harry Potter version of Bejeweled. When Winnie comes for me, I immediately tell her the good news that funding for the new AFO has been approved, phew!

Friday Post 639

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 5201 steps (sweet I'm more than half a normal person today; that's rare! XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Caused To Return'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'This Experience Is Preparing You' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "In God's Presence" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THREE MINUTES after I watch the 6pm news (Seven's) for the 19TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like the past three days, nature didn't call until 6:10am, and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me not waking again for the pot :P until around 9am, just before noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before heading back outside and awaiting Jane's arrival @ 9:30am.
• After PIG mum lets Jane inside, Jane knocks, opens the door and just calls "Em, fifteen more minutes." Mini Pearl just flicks his body @ her going shoo; he's rather miffed that she didn't bid us good morning first! XD
• But when Jane reenters my room fifteen minutes later, she says this time "Good morning, Em; time to get up" and Mini Pearl immediately forgives her. XD
• I use the pot :P for one tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table with Jane,  who tells me that she had her usual smoothie for breakfast today.

Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 6:10am  and after  one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh* Oh, and my monthlies arrived; luckily, I was already wearing a pad since PIG mum didn't hear my call upstairs to her~
  • Mini Pearl and I happily cuddled and snored, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before noisy PIG mum began her usual daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. When she enters my room I immediately inform her my monthlies have arrived. She hits me with the eye goo, gives poor Elf a very brief rub (since she totally ignored my poor foot last night, but Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes and let her wear her sock to sleep last night) and then returns outside awaiting the carer's arrival @ 9:30pm. Actually, the carer arrives late and PIG mum's already told me fifteen more minutes.  I immediately start counting down from 900, reminding her please ring CODA should nobody appear by 9:40am.
  • Phew, Louisa was just stuck in traffic and arrived shortly afterwards. After I used the pot :P for one more tinkle, we got me kitted and then I went over to the bathroom and brushed teeth, before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Louisa, who tells me that she had some native food for breakfast.
  • For my breakfast, I munch one bowl of healthy cereal, pop all my usual drugs :P and drink one tall cup of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • Breakfast finished, I ask Louisa too please gimme some sunscreen before I return to the loo.  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 Louisa's car and she tootles us off to Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown  Thanks to her who kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt both ways.
  • Louisa finds a sideways park along level two and grabs a trolley for us. First, we buy groceries from Woolies then head downstairs and do the same @ Coles. Our last stop's the library, where I couldn't find any Lian Hearn novels but start another of Orson Scott Card's I'd never read before, called Children Of The Fleet!
  • Back home, I take my quickest nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Louisa who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, for lunch Louisa makes me a toasted tuna in tomato and onion toastie with TWO cheese and the inside HEAVILY buttered for lunch; I drink one delicious mug of powdered HK-style milk tea,
  • At 1pm I sign Louisa off with my thanks and byes; she's back same time next week. But she's a baby compared to me: she's not heard of Ronan Keating before! XD
  • After taking the cup to the sink, I use the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then pop online.
  • Once I've used uo  the most important two hours of my day, I'll use the loo for one tinkle then sit @ the gobbling :P table and munch arvo tea. Hopefully PIG mum'll find where she/dad has put The Horse Whisperer!
  • Looking forward to watching the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 18TH time.
  • Best of all, it's ice cream night toms night! Like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all!
  • Toms: Jane's minding me like 9:30am till 1pm and taking me to Breathe for physio. Presuming we'll buy groceries somewhere afterwards?
  • Cooking fried rice with Dorrie afterwards!
  • Looking forward to reading for another hour and watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 19TH time!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 669d

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 4272 (sweet I'm over four grand; that doesn't happen very often!) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Your Greatest Temptation' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and SEVEN MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, just briefly, events for today?

• \Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:10am~
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Wednesday Post 669c

 Good afternoon! Take two: firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2429 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'He Knows Your Need'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Your Words Have Power' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Sent With Care' but fifthly  and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-THREE MINUTES online after I get home from table tennis and have dad's birthday dinner with Aunty A!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:10am and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Afterwards, Mini Pearl and I cuddle and have such a massive snore that nature doesn't call again until nearly 9am! Shortly  after that second pot :P trip, 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 help  exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap  before leaving me  to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately 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 and 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. ^^

 Good morning! :P

Tuesday Post 669

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3734 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Giver Gets The Glory' (seems familiar?); thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Be Sure To Praise The Lord' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Hope In Faith'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, 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*
• Afterwards, Mini Pearl and I had a MASSIVE snore; nature didn't call again until like 9am! Shortly afterwards, 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'd totally ignored my poor foot last night. Doesn't matter; Era rubbed Elf for fifteen minutes last night and let her wear her sock to sleep last night but obviously peeled it off first thing this morning! XD
• After PIG mum lets Peggy inside @ 9:30am, Peggy knocks, pushes open the door and announces, "Good morning." When I nod Mini Pearl @ her, she next states "Fifteen more minutes." Mini Pearl nods again, then flicks his body 'shoo' @ Peggy, who smirks and wisely withdraws. XD
• When Peggy comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth.  Thanks to Peggy who's already squirted some toothpaste for me.
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle and wash and dry Era before heading out to the gobbling :P table with Peggy, who tells me that she had her usual two fried eggs for breakfast.
• For my breakfast, I get one bowl of healthy cereal with all my usual drugs :P and one tall cup of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• Since Peggy had already smothered my face and both hands with sunscreen before giving me breakfast, when I was finished, she accompanied me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing up the breakfast dishes.  Over the loo proper I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of Auto (pronounced Alto) and Peggy tootles me off to Pinelands Plaza to buy a bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse. Thanks to Peggy who gets a trolley for us on arrival, even though PIG mum didn't need any groceries from Coles today.
• Aunty Nancy served me today; when I asked her how are you she just waved a hand in front of her face and grunted, "No goof. Too hot." Aww, ovens in bakeries, understandably she's boiling!
• After saying cya next week, our other stop's Woolies @ Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown  to buy groceries from Woolies but good grief, like ALL the parking was gone and Peggy didn't find parking until the middle of nowhere! ><
• Not only that, what mother wanted from Woolies (tuna) wasn't available! But @ least we got some toilet rolls. XD
• Then I happily read Sibling Assassins @ the library while Peggy went grocery shopping @ ALDI.
• Back home, I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helped me rinse my hair out, 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 delicious vanilla chai; also thanks to Peggy who managed to one packet of sugar for me! Usually, I prefer my tea with two teaspoonfuls but hey, one's better than none!
• At 1:55pm I went to the loo for two more tinkles; @ 2pm Peggy left. I'll see her again same time next Tuesday.  Unsure why she said I was 'sensitive' today?
• Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day I'll use the loo for one tinkle then sit and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea; hope she remembers that I need RICE!!
• Lorraine's taking me to Toastmasters but it's  gonna be a small meeting: four members, unless guests come!
• Pity I'm only getting an UnHappy Meal with an orange juice for dinner *sigh*
• Toms: hopefully PIG mum'll help me up not too late and take me grocery shopping and aisle walking somewhere before we come home for lunch since Jane's not taking me to table tennis until 1:30pm and apparently, I'm playing table tennis @ church with dad again toms night!
• But fingers crossed I can watch  the 6pm news bulletin for the 18th time!
• Doubt I'll  post  again tonight; hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 669c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3534. Ha, I'm just over 3.5 grand. XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, 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: Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till  2pm.  PIG mum says we'll buy groceries for her from Pinelands Coles plus my once-weekly  crunchy pork bahn mi from  the Pinelands Bakehouse for lunch.
• Looking forward  to my most important  two hours of the day online then reading  The Horse Whisperer for one hour while having arvo  tea; have already reminded PIG  mum to please gimme RICE for arvo  tea!!
• Also looking forward to hitting Toastmasters with Lorraine @ 5:30pm!
• Not much loooking forward to getting an UnHappy Meal with Lorraine with an oorange  juice for dinner afterwards but hey, oerhaps we can come to some deal. XD

  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 669b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3444 (so expecting to have hit 3.5 grand before the night's out XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Never Overlooked'. Righteo,  continuing tonight's events?

• We share a chicken katsudon from Hanaichi for late arvo tea/early dinner (but PIG mum promises supper; phew) before dad tootles us home and I take a nice warm shower - I wash and rinse my own hair today. I also slowly, softly but most hatefully sing 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I'm done after only 12%, but happily lean fully against the right-side side rail and water myself for another tinkle before tapping the nice warm water off and calling PIG mum back. Only she's not around? Never mind; I wait thirty seconds and try calling again. Still no response? Another thirty-second wait and third time lucky, she hears me! Turns out she was outside doing sth. I told her lucky it's Winter and I didn't get cold; had she not come immediately during Winter I'd have turned the water back on! XD
• Since PIG mum won't even help me dry my back anymore, once she dried the back of the chair for me I did everything else and she didn't feature again until Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
• After I dried the loo bowl (or whatever the toilet with the seat left up's called), 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.
• When PIG mum summons me over for supper I use the loo for one tinkle then walk myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• A yummy supper: dad brought a takeaway container of Chinese food from Westfield Chermside!was washed down with one delicious cup of Chinese tea; after taking the cup over to the sink I walk myself slowly and safely back online, , always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• Righteo, hopefully brb after one last loo trip with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms, else wishing everyone a smashing Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good evening and HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3318 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily   devotional topic from last night's 'Delayed Deliverances'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Healing Ministry Of The New Testament Church' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Mercy And Our Mess' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY MINUTES online after  supper tonight!! 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*
• Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am, shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately pulling the tee on (since dearest dad was home) and giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum comes back and finishes 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 bowl of healthy cereal with all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay.

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 me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Obviously, I buckled my own seatbelt all day; we also listened to her Spotify playlist all day, too.

• At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle and then lay down for some acupuncture and massage. PIG mum's in her element, yapping unceasingly @ Ray; my grateful thanks to Ray who always replied and kept a conversation flowing. PIG mum was so excited @ getting to yap today that she repeated one syllable five times before continuing. XD

• After another loo trip, PIG mum tootles me back to the Warrigal Square Woolies and we come home for lunch with dearest dad (leftovers from his birthday party dinner last night).

• Excitement: afterwards, dad tootles us to Westfield Chermside for a shopping trip and I get to use Sparkless3; WINDOW SHOPPING! PIG mum picks up a pair of pants and me a t-shirt.

• We share a chicken katsudon from Hanaichi - bbl!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 669b

 Heylo again, good afternoon again and probably one final greeting for Sunday! Em's probable final, final greeting for Sunday now stands @ 2539. Ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand. XD Righteo, probable final, final events for today?

• I'd reached reading and sharing my Facebook memories from eight years ago when I suddenly realised that my PISSY two-hour time limit was up; I obediently used the loo for one tinkle then sat @ the gobbling :P table, waiting for some arvo  tea and hoping to read for an hour.
• PIG mum gave me some white dragon fruit, one tasty cracker and one huge mug of green tea but said no time to read since the dinner guests are coming @ 6pm!
• Took a nice warm shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 15% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
• I  had one tinkle before I flipped the nice warm water off and called PIG mum back; since she'll not even dry my  back for me anymore after she dried   the back of the chair for me, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until my bra strap needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed  tying.
• After I dried the loo seat, I sat for one tinkle, stamped both feet dry, dried inside the 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.
• Unsure will I return online since tonight's dad's birthday party!
• Righteo, maybe bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 669

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2153 steps (ha, I'm over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Served In Serving Others'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Start Small, And Keep A Winning Attitude' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Be Like Jesus'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:50am and after one pot :P trip, I immediately try and fall back asleep since I'm sure noisy PIG mum would go a-THUMPING around very soon!
• Instead, around 135 deep breaths later, PIG mum indeed goes THUMP. Well, sleep's not returning. 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*
• PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately pulling on 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.
• Breakfast is one bowl of healthy cereal with all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water.

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 second cubicle of the normal lady's loo (since the disabled and first cubicle of the normal ladies' loo have lids closed but horrid PIG mum won't help me lift them), wash and dry both hands then grab my usual spot inside the service hall and PIG mum rushes back upstairs for CM.
• Yay I get to stay seated for worship today! I sing everything plus the harmony for two songs but like every other week, mean absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Pastor Peter Pie with his new sermon series: Choosing God In A World Of Choice and there was communion afterwards, but service still ended fifteen minutes early.
• After PIG mum collected me, I used the disabled loo for one tinkle, grabbed a packet of bikkies from the morning tea area then sat outside the service hall.

• When Aunty Catherine wandered over I showed her the photo of me holding baby Zebby; she took off her clases, peered closely @ the mobile and immediately recognised him! Then she told me he's nearly as tall as she is! (BTW, unsure why the font suddenly went bold?)
• While everyone else shared lunch @ Mum's Wok, I was stuck @ Rochedale Hungry Jacks again. A mini snack wrap, exactly ten chips and a small orange juice for me. Today marks THREE WEEKS since I last enjoyed a proper meal out. >< *sigh*
• Back 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

• Forgot to note down when I started online so will just stay online until PIG mum boots me off; I can't move anyhow since Elf's big toe was hurting and PIG mum removed all her footwear!
• Tonight the Slams and Aunty A's coming over to celebrate dearest dad's birthday and tomorrow's Australia Day! Still seeing Ray for acupuncture and massage, though. Hopefully PIG mum will find somewhere open and take me for walkies somewhere otherwise expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
• The roster says I've got support toms arvo but apparently mother's already cancelled it?? *sigh*
• 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 @ 3431. Aww, sorry, not quite 3.5 grand; maybe toms. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• When PIG mum summons me over for dinner @ 7:28pm, I use the loo for one tinkle then walk myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.\
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa icky bitter vegetable, lotsa not-very yummy bean sprouts, lotsa dearest dad's home-grown hairy melon, two chunks of salmon, two pieces of tasteless soup pork and one delicious leftover potsticker.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink over to the sink I walked myself slowly   and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Only the top of Elf's toe started hurting? PIG mum's said before tell her immediately; when I did she had me remove Elf's footwear than showed me I've got  sh*tty  sensation and 'twas actually the side of the toe that   was hurting.
• At 8:55pm I asked her to please put Elf's footwear back on then @ 9pm I walked myself slowly and safely once more to the loo for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. Would dearly love lunch out with other ESS peoples afterwards but it'll just be me back with dad @ Hungry Jack's, meaning it's been THREE WEEKS since I've last enjoyed a proper meal out. *sigh*

• Also expecting a stressful arvo  @ the hands of PIG mum. But hopefully she'll be too busy preparing for dad's birthday party: we're not having our once-weekly family dinner out tonight since the Slams and Aunty A are coming for dad's birthday party and I helped her make dearest dad's birthday cheesecake!

• Anyways, looking  forward to seeing  everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for tonight now stands @ 3329 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Stand Firm In Truth'. Righteo, continuing Saturday's events?

• Nature calls again around 7:45am.  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*

• Nature calls once more around 9am, just before noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around. She lets herself into my room @ 9:30am to hit me with the   eye goo and gimme fifteen more minutes, since minutes, since Sharon won't arrive till 9:45am coz she's coming from an earlier shift and I'll get up immediately.
• Once Sharon comes, I get up immediately and use the pot :P for one more tinkle. After we get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I drink one full mug of water and 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 Sharon. Breakfast is my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast with a very light smear of avocado, another full cup of water, all my usual drugs :P and one big mug of white tea sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar. Over and after breakfast I happily read The Horse Whisperer for thirty minutes while I asked Sharon please to give Ela a massage after she'd finished tidying my room for me.
• While Sharon closed and locked windows, I used the loo for one more tinkle. After climbing into her car, she kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt (as she kindly did all day) and tootled us off to Underwood MarketPlace.
• Score, she lemme use   Sparkless3 again today, meaning I got to WINDOW SHOP!! Not that Woolies has much worth window shopping.  XD The checkout dude's from the same country as Sharon scanned our items for us; his name's sth like Hamiso? They both speak Swahili, but I only know two phrases in that language:  thank you and lion! XD
• Back home I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Sharon   who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch may have been one bowl of rice leftovers, but I definitely enjoyed two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar.
• Sat over the loo for two more tinkles before Sharon dropped me off @ church to play table tennis with dearest dad. She's only twenty-seven and tonight she's attending her friend's (who's turning twenty-four) birthday party in Springwood but she's gotta  go  pickup her cake first! 
• Had great fun playing with dad but was grumpy to find out he'd cancelled our dinner tonight! Originally, he'd said we'd have our usual once-weekly Sunday dinner out tonight since toms Aunty A and the Slams are coming over for his birthday but suddenly dad says we've got leftovers that need finishing first; we'll eat out Monday instead. Only Monday's Australia Day and I bet the parents won't eat out coz there's public holiday surcharge! >< *sigh*
• Got home, used the loo for one more tinkle then sat and happily read for nearly two more hours while munching my delicious honey chicken sushi roll, since it's only Saturday that I can spend a blessed three hours reading~
• Used the loo for one more tinkle, popped online, read my daily Bible passages then happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 17TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of the previous post.
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Saturday Post 669

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3101 steps (ha, I'm over three grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "Go Directly To God"; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Love And Serve Others" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Within  God's Reach" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm  really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY MINUTES online  after I watch the 6pm  news (Nine's)  for the 17TH time!!

• Grr, idiot nature prevented me from starting an awesome sleep streak last night; grr! >< Never mind; apart from that, 'twas still a sound sleep~ *sigh*
• 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*

  Em.  ^^

PIG mum   says it's hot, go enjoy the air   con @ Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown but mainly I'm just frustrated that she won't lemme out for lunch with Jane; the Sunday just past marks one whole FORTNIGHT since I've enjoyed a proper meal out. >< *sigh*

Thursday Post 669

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

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:30am and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, nature calling once more shortly before PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before returning outside and awaiting Louisa's arrival @ 8am.
• After PIG mum lets Louisa in, she knocks, opens the door and says Em, Louisa's here now. Fifteen more minutes. I nod Pearl @ her and then flick his body saying 'shoo'. XD
• When Louisa comes back and taps me good morning, I sit up, introduce myself and use the pot :P for three more tinkles. After we get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom before sitting over the loo for one tinkle, washing and drying Era then heading out to the gobbling :P table with Louisa.
• Breakfast is one/two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix with all   my usual drugs :P and one tall cup of   water. Whilst munching  my  healthy cereal, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• After Louisa slathers my face and both arms with sunscreen, she accompanies me back   to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast stuff up. Over the loo, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Louisa's car and she tootles me off to the Garbo library for GCCW! Thanks to her who kindly helped me buckle my own seatbelt both ways. Over the drive, I learnt that she's only twenty-one, from Kenya and is studying social work @ uni!
• At the library, I use the loo for one tinkle then discover we're back in Meeting Room   One, yay~
• Nine attend today (Beverley was new), Ken lemme  read my story   out (since I didn't get to share mine last time, but my reading was suddenly interrupted when the next meeting room burst into loud music! XD), Tammy helped me once   to the bathroom for morning tea and there was CAKE! She offered me the rest to take home but I just gulped one more slice then said no thanks since I   knew if I'd bought any home, I'd never see it again! XD Memory's our next homework topic; should I write about how I forgot poor mother/stick   to fiction like Stan wants?
• Only fifteen minutes left, so super-briefly:
• Got home, showered and ate a tuna toastie with TWO cheese for lunch for lunch.
• Signed Louisa off with my thanks and byes. She's back same time next Thursday. Wonder what we'll do?
• Hoping to watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 15TH time tonight!
• Toms:  Jane's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm. PIG mum's too sleepy to lemme know what we're doing but says she'll answer tonight.
• Presuming Dorrie will come and give Ela one hour of unfunctional hand exercises?
• Hoping to read for one hour afterwards and watch the 6pm news for   the 16TH time!
• Anyways, hopefully   bbl,  else wishing everyone a smashing  end to the week  toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
