 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. 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 loo, again There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 

  • After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and she tootles 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?

  • 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. ^^

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. ^^

 Heylo again, good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 1433 (sorry, not quite 1.5 grand; hopefully toms XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Purpose In Difficulty' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR  and THIRTEEN MINUTES online should PIG mum really   demand I hit   the  sack @ 9:45pm; argh, what  a crummy end  to an otherwise marvellous day!  >< But just noting down that this morning dad took PIG mum and I to the airport DFO and since I used Sparkless3, I got to WINDOW SHOP!! :D Bought some things, had lunch @ food court then Jane took me to table tennis! Poor Kim still couldn't attend, and she missed out on CAKE for Tim's birthday! Played table tennis again @ church with    dearest dad; when an aunty called me by name, later I  apologised saying sorry, what's your name! Shame I've got    dreadful facial recognition and wouldn't recognise Aunty Celia if I saw her again. XD Toms Louisa's taking me to GCCW; hope she's nice! Also hoping PIG mum'll let her buy me a chicken katsudon home for lunch later. Best of all, it's ice cream night toma night; like I say every week, a very little's better than  none @ all! Righteo, hope everyone's having a  smashing  week~
Cheers,

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

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

-At 9pm,  I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back,  again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 

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

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

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

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

-Righteo,  hope everyone has a smashing day toms!

Cheers, 

Em. ^^

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

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

Monday Post 668b

Heylo again, good afternoon and potentially one final greeting for today!  Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 4643. Ha, I'm over 4.5 grand; that's even rarer than four grand! But sorry, doubt I'll reach five grand before tonight   ends. XD Righteo, potential final, final events for today?
  • After publishing the first post, I started reading and sharing my Facebook memories.
  • Once I'd used up the most important two hours of  my  day, I used the loo  for one tinkle then  sat @ the gobbling :P table to   read  for   fifty minutes (so  hoping I'll remember to  read for ten more minutes after dinner)and munched the arvo tea PIG mum  had kindly left me before hitting pigland upstairs: about  five slices of banana with  some  delicious mango, one  plain  cracker and one huge mug of green tea.
  • At 5:55pm I used the loo for one more tinkle then returned online to watch the 6pm news.
  • Anyways, hopefully  bbl  after dinner, else hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,

Tuesday Post 668

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

  • Nature  called once around 1:30am; after another pot :P trip following the Sun's rising, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • Nature calls again around 7:45am and once more around 9am, just before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before returning outside and awaiting Peggy's arrival only to come back inside and gimme   fifteen more minutes saying Peggy's late!  That'd odd; Peggy's always very punctual and I immediately start counting down from 900 seconds, reminding PIG mum please ring CODA should Peggy have not come by 9:40am.
  • Phew, Peggy arrives after I've counted down four minutes and sweet, she gives me fifteen more minutes all over again! After she comes back and I'm using the pot :P for one more tinkle I ask her was she late since she'd been stuck in traffic and she screeches back because school's only just starting for the new year, some grandparents are doing the school drop-off run and taking the scenic route! XD
  • Whoops less than thirty minutes left, so just super-briefly:
  • Had breakfast, did stinky unspeakable then saw Winnie for physio: 1.66km bike ride, forty bar-assisted push-ups, forty steps for Elf, forty v-bar cable rows for both hands, forty leg curls for Elf, forty leg extensions for Elf, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing!
  • Used loo for one tinkle (CZ258 unlocks the female bathroom and the second rail's ambulant) then went with Peggy to Pinelands Coles to buy milk and get my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi for lunch from the Pinelands Bakehouse. Unfortunately, all the disabled parks outside Coles were taken and Peggy didn't   find a park until near the post office. *sigh*
  • Got home and took a nice warm shower -  hairwash  today. Also thanks to Peggy who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was my delicious toasted crunchy pork  bahn mi plus one huge mug of delicious vanilla chai; just pity Peggy couldn't find where the sneaky parents had hidden the sweetener! *sigh*
  • Signed Peggy off with my thanks and byes @ 2pm; she's back same time next week.
  • Used loo for one tinkle, popped online and did my daily Bible readings. Thanks to Peggy who left a pen for me.
  • Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 15TH time!
  • Toms: PIG mum says she'll take me out somewhere toms before coming home for lunch and then Jane's taking me to play table tennis @ 1:30pm!  Let there be cake~ XD Hope Kim's back!
  • Jane will see me home and showered before leaving @ 6:30pm, hoping to watch the 6pm news for the 16TH time!
  • Anyways, hopefully  bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing Tuesday ahead!
    Cheers, 
    Em. ^^
    P.S.

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

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

  • When I was summoned over for dinner @ 7:45pm, I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy wombok, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup onion and several wee chunks of surprisingly tasty but chewy beef that dad demanded I eat all together.
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl  after one last loo trip with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms else wishing everyone a smashing Tuesday ahead!

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

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

  • Once she'd dried my back for me, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until my bra strap needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
  • After I dried the loo seat I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped both dry, washed and dried Era then walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 13TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
  •  Used the loo tinkle before climbing into the car.
  • Our once-weekly family dinner together out was back @ Ho   Lin   Wah - and dad grabbed the best parking: smack bang in front of the restaurant!
  • The A meal was yucky   black bean sth so we got the B meal (chicken and rice) and a fried egg noodle. Had nearly (but not quite) one bowl of rice and nearly (but not quite) half a bowl of noodles. Drank half the set soup, one cup of Chinese tea and one mouthful of fresh HK-style milk tea. Told the parents it's been one FORTNIGHT since I enjoyed a proper meal out, but they didn't care. *sigh*
  • Got home and walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

  • At 9pm, I walked myself slowly and safely once more to the loo for one tinkle and back, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Toms:  PIG mum'll  help me up, since I've a  late  morning  apointment  to see Ray for some  acupuncture and massage. Bet she's simply DYING to  yap  endlessly  @ him. XD Will  remember not to  ask   PIG mum about my   new AFO until January  ends.
  • Hope PIG mum takes me  grocery  shopping  and aisle walking before coming home for lunch else expect  a super-pissy  plodding  total  from  me.
  • Lorraine's minding me from   4-6pm; will hopefully watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 14TH time!
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!

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

  • Once I'd used up the most important two hours of my day, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat @ the gobbling :P to read Ghost Boy and wait for PIG mum to pause napping and come downstairs to gimme some arvo tea.
  • While reading The Ghost Boy, I found the book title on pgs. 266, 270 and 271. I reached pg. 375 @ exactly 3:55pm then FINISHED THE BOOK @ 4:04PM before finishing the acknowledgements two minutes later! Huge thanks to Jane who found me The Horse Whisperer yesterday to start reading; I'll try read it all before the next book club since I've got like three weeks!
  • after reading for a while I happily played the HP version of Bejeweled until PIG mum ordered me off to   go shower.
  • So a nice warm shower for me - I washed and rinsed my hair today.  I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was all done after just 11% but happily leaned fully against the right-side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before tappingf the nice warm water off and calling PIG mum back.
    Cheers,

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

  • Nature called once around 12:45am; after another pot :P trip around 6am I immediately fell back asleep, since I remembered that PIG mum would get very noisy @ 7am!
  • Instead, Mini Pearl and I fell back asleep so deeply that I didn't wake until PIG mum let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo! I used the pot :P once more, she helped me with absolutely nothing bar the bar strap then left me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first. Whilst doing so, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • That done, PIG mum returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me walk over to   the bathroom and brush teeth.
  • Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Breakfast is one bowl of healthy cereal with all my usual drugs :P and one tall cup of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*

  • Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. Should dad not allow me out for lunch with other ESS people afterwards, it'll have been THREE WEEKS since I've enjoyed a decent meal out. *sigh*
  • Braced for a stressful arvo  @ the hands of PIG mum, hoping to read Ghost Boy for one hour and wondering where dad will take us out for our once-weekly dinner out together?
  • Anyways, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
