Sunday Post 611c

 Good evening again and one final   greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ exactly 2000. Nice number, eh? Actually, 'twas actually 1998, but that number so pissed me off that I stood, took two steps forward then sat again. XD Anyways, just briefly, final, final events for tonight?

  • After the usual breakfast I did a stinky unspeakable and then Caroline tootled me off to the first table tennis competition for 2026! 
  • My heart sank when Kim put me into the same group as Matty, Garry and Nicole since they were all better than me! ><"
  • Playing first   against Matty, he won the first set and I won the 2nd and 3rd but when I cheered yay I only need to win won more set to win the game the umpire (some Asian but not Chinese) said no, that's it: best of three! Ela's just happy that she got to show Mrs. Matty's mum (Anita?)  how Matty sometimes congratulates me when I pull off a good shot!
  • Next, I beat Gary:  in STRAIGHT SETS!
  • Ending with embarrassment: Nicole beat me in straight sets. ><" *cringe* XD
  • Caroline tootled mee down the road to Subway for lunch and score, she lemme use Sparkless3; PIG mum definitely would've made me walk the short distance. XD
  • And she lemme buy a FOOTLONG! :D I tried some southern fried chicken one; delicious  but eeo slightly spicy! ><" The rainbow choc chip  cookie was awesome too  but  since I didn't have enough money  to  buy    a poppa of  chocolate milk I just drank water.
  • Doubles: Adrian and I won our  first  doubles match against Justin in straight  sets!
  • Jaewon's mum umpired our second match   against This time, Adrian and I won against Jo and Matty - also  in straight sets!
  • Only when I realised the gold medal match  was against Nicole I thought I'd losa again  to her ...
  • But Adrian and I WON against Rohan and Nicole -  we are the champions! :D
  • Got home and took  a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also  thanks to  Caroline who helped me rinse  out my  hair, thus freeing Era to hold my  stupid  right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried,  creamed and rekitted, I   ate arvo  tea and read the Matthew Reilly  book  for one hour, finishing  page seventy-five @  3:41pm and reaching pg. 100 @ 3:42pm.
  • Watched 6pm  news bulletin (Nine's) for  the 39TH time. All the things I like recording  are in  the previous post.
  • Had our usual  once-weekly family  dinner out  together from  Ho Lin Wah. Had less than one bowl of rice, less than  half  a  bowl  of thin   soupy ho    fan with  cuttlefish ball, drank one cup  of Chinese tea, half  the  set soup  and just over one mouthful of the HK-style milk   tea.
  • Got home and returned online.
  • Used loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm.
  • Toms: PIG mum'll  help me up   since I'm  seeing Ray for  some acupuncture and massage. PIG mum  says we can  buy  groceries before coming home for  lunch with dearest  dad.
  • Arvo appointment to APO; hope Peter fixes the AFO properly ...
  • Have just emailed for tomorrow's TBA from   4-6pm.
  • Hopefully    can watch the 6pm news for the 40TH time toms!

Sunday Post 611

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1418 steps (aww, nearly1.5 grand!); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Our Servant, Jesus'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Do It All For The Glory Of God (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Schooled In  Love' but  fifthly   and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-ONE MINUTES online after I watch  the 6pm   news  bulletin (Nine's) for the 39TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  •  Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't  call until 5:25am (my favourite thing   about  Summer: how  early the Sun rises!) 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*
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 611c

 Good evening again   and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4375. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

  • At 9pm, I walk 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: PIG mum's gonna help me up, since @ 8:30am some Caroline Kennedy's taking me to   compete in the first  para-table tennis competition for this year instead of attending church! Neither PIG mum nor I remember her but Michelle says she used to look after me before she took maternity leave!
  • There's a Domino's pizza there but PIG mum has ordered I get Subway. *sigh*
  • Braced for a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum ... *another sigh*
  • Wonder where dad'll take us for our once-weekly family dinner out together? It's been an unsuccessful pre-birthday month.; we're near the end of the month and it feels like I've not enjoyed a proper meal out yet. *sigh number three*
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing end to   the weekend toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
    P.S. Maybe expect a super-pissy plodding  total from me? Using  Sparkless3 toms~

Saturday Post 611b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4283 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Splash-overs Of Heaven'. Righteo,  continuing  events for today?

  • Once Sharon arrives, I roll  outta bed and use the pot :P for one more tinkle. Once we get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom, asking Sharon please to bring me a cup of water while I brush teeth. That done, I drink the water then 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. For breakfast, I enjoy my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of   dry (unbuttered) toast, drink another tall cup of water, pop all my usual drugs :P and enjoy my first big mug of white tea sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar.  While Sharon makes my bed for me, I happily read the book club novel for thirty minutes first up, reaching pg.350 @ 10:38am.
  • After reading for thirty minutes, Sharon slathered my face and both arms with sunscreen then walked behind me back   to the bathroom then returned to the dining room to close and lock windows.
  • I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then climb into the passenger seat of Sharon's car. Did you know, she's born in the CNY of the Rabbit, just like me; I'm twelve years her senior!
  • Sharon tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace, parks around the side and grabs a trolley for us.
  • Didn't see Hambo today and originally the checkout dude wouldn't slip me a Woolies card pack when I asked but when his receipt machine stuffed up and we had to   wait, he gave me one! :D
  • 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 was the omelette I'd cooked with Dorrie but sandwiched between two slices of toast - delicious! Thanks to Sharon who made me two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar.
  • Over and after lunch I happily continued reading, reaching pg. 375 @ 12:39pm.
  • At 12:35pm, I sat once more over the loo for two tinkles then Sharon tootled me off to church to play table tennis with dearest dad~
  • Once seated inside I signed Sharon off with my thanks and byes. She's back next fortnight Saturday same time~
  • Had great fun playing table tennis with dearest dad; he even lemme win - in straight sets! Will   take that   as a good omen for the table tennis competition toms. XD Only he plays too violently: I copped body shots @ least four times!  ><" XD
  • After dad tootled me home I used the loo  for one tinkle,  washed and dried Era then  sat  down to  read for a good long while, since it's only Saturdays that I can   spend a blessed three hours reading~

  • I FINISHED THE  BOOK @ 2:41!! 

  • Sharon was awesome and found me ScareCrow And The Army Of Thieves to keep reading; I reached page fifty @ exactly 4:10!
  • After I'd spent three hours reading I used the loo for one tinkle, plopped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 38TH time! All the things I like recording are in the previous post. Oh, and Uncle Slam appeared for dinner:  he's collecting Anna from the airport (flying back from Singapore tonight) toms morning!
  • Once the news ended, I used the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era then walked myself slowly    and safely over to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa lettuce/broccoli and three delicious chunks of chicken with that ginger and shallot oil.
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • PIG mum suddenly comes overbearing a cup of sesame dessert soupo she'd blended tonight for me plus a little forkful of delicious CNY cake from our neighbour!
  • Righteo,  hopefully  brb after one more 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 Sunday ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 611

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4183 steps (sweet that's the second consecutive day I'm over four grand!); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Amazed @ The Resurrection'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Do It All For The Glory Of God (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily   Bread's devotional topic's 'Remembering To  Forget' but fifthly  and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TEN MINUTES online after I watch  the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 38TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, what better way to start the weekend then with my 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night? Like yesterday,  nature didn't call until  6:20am  and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • After 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*

  •  Nature calls once more around 9:15am and not long after that, PIG mum begins her daily noisy   a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room around 9:30am and say fifteen more minutes since once Sharon arrives @ 9:45am, I'll get up.
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^
    P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's, read by Mia Glover) for the 38TH time: Sheeran, Makenna (first name), Baily, Hogan, De Campo, Vasta, Reed (first name),  Mahoney, Crisafulli, Mimi (first name), Becker, Walker, Rozenberg, Epstein (heard), Kumar,  Sailesh (first name), Mountbatten-Windsor, Bavas, Lillibet (first name), Harris, Noble, Ha-teya (first name), Gripske,  Goepper,Swepson, Marnus (first name), Labuschahne (heard), Aki (first name), Oide, Cherry-Evans, Desi (first name), Blizzard (heard), Riddingius,  Tomasi, Feeney,  Brock (first name),  de Pasquale (heard), Sinclair, Trump, Newsom, Balme, Gout (first name), Gout, RTyan, Kyea (first name, Wheatley, Hicks White, Kennedy, Darragh, McGoverne, Mulino, Haig and Stolz. Alice Stolz read the auction report, Dominique Loudon read the sports report and Luke  Bradnam read the weather report from Southport. Brisbane was 21-31 today. Brisbane toms: 22-30. Mt. Gravatt toms: 20-30. Sunrise: 5:36am Sunset 6:27pm

  • After publishing the previous post, I had fifteen minutes to mindlessly play Puppy Match.
  • Suddenly PIG mum says I'm gonna practise calligraphy! You wanna try?  I reply sure, I'll come @ 9pm.
  • At 9pm I head over to the gobbling :P table and scrawl  dai  (in Canto: big). XD Then I walk myself once slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

  •  Toms: Sharon's minding me 9:45am till 1pm. Just going to buy my arvo  tea sushi; PIG mum hasn't checked the Woolies catalogue yet.

  • Breakfast for me: just one dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P, 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 becau se of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • After breakfast, Jane slathers my face and both hands with sunscreen   then accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast stuff up. Over the loo I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

  • After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of Sarah (Jane's car wears the license plate SAZ) and she tootles me off to Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown,  finding  a park along level three and grabbing a shopping trolley for us.
  • First, we buy groceries from Woolies and then sweet, I get to read for fifty-five minutes in the library; best of all, Jane sees me seated before fetching Feist's Queen of Storms for me!  Today I reached page twenty-five @ 11:33am and stopped @ pg. thirty-nine.
  • Back home I took a nice warm    shower -  hairwash today. Also thanks to Jane who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was one bowl of tasteless rice leftovers plus one huge mug of like Irish breakfast tea; very fragrant!
  • At 1:55pm I sat once more over the loo for two tinkles before signing Jane off with my thanks and byes; she's back next Wednesday for table tennis but tonight she's driving up to the Sunshine Coast with her partner for the weekend since she's got family up there plus a new baby nephew to meet!
  • Dorrie came and made a Spanish omelette with me and next week; we're making chicken wraps!
  • After PIG mum shooed her away precisely @ 4pm, she gave me some fruit, one plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea for arvo tea.
  • Happily read the Thursday Murder Club for one hour, reaching pg. 325 @ exactly 3:55pm and reaching pg.  333 @ 4:09pm.
  • Used the loo for one tinkle, plopped online and did my daily Bible readings.
  • Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 37TH time. All the things I like recording are in today's first post.
  • When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner @ 7:24pm, I used 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 soup carrot, lotsa little tong vegetable, (PIG mum tried to sneak in one piece of   celery but I flicked it back to her! >< XD) and like three teaspoonfuls of the  omelette I'd cooked with Dorrie! Turns out Spanish omelettes come with POTATO, and I've asked PIG mum toms may I please have more omelette with toast??
  • 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 @ 9pm   with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms else wishing everyone  a smashing weekend ahead!

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4452. Lol, trust I'll have reached 4.5 grand before the night's out! XD Righteo, potential final, final events for Friday?

  • Once Jane arrives, she knocks, opens the door, calls "Good morning, Em, fifteen more minutes" then leaves immediately after I nod Mini Pearl @ her, meaning I haven't the time to flick Mini Pearl's body 'shoo' @ her! XD
  • When Jane 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 before sitting over the loo for one tinkle.

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, nature calling once again around 7:45am and once more just before 9am, just before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs.

Thursday Post 611

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4849 steps (so should crack half a normal person today; that's rare!); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'When You Are Immortal'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Recognise God's Spirit Living Within You" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Lavish Love'.  Anyways, events for today?

  • Lol, after nature called around 1:50am; following one pot :P trip, I lost my knickers! ><" XD Didn't bother waking PIG mum up for it, since periods not arrived yet (so unfortunately have PMS right now ><) hence just fell back asleep, believing the knickers would reappear with the morning.  XD
  • Sure enough, when I was using the pot :P again the next morning, there the knickers were, on the   floor! I tossed them back into the bed then pulled them back on after having a tinkle. XD
  • Following  the  first  daylight pot :P trip,  I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • Nature called again around 7:45am and once more 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 before going back outside and awaiting Louisa's arrival.
  • After PIG mum lets Louisa inside, Louisa knocks, pushes open the door and says good morning. When I nod Mini Pearl @ her, she says, "Fifteen more minutes, okay?"  then quickly shuts the door before I can nod Mini Pearl @ her and flick his body saying 'shoo!' @ her! XD
  • Once she comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth, before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Louiza, who tells me that while she's not eaten any breakfast yet, she's @ least had her morning coffee! I moan I've got DEPRESSO since I've not had any EXPRESSO yet. XD
  • For breakfast, I get one/two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P, all my usual drugs :P and one full cup of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • After breakfast, I ask Louiza to please put some sunscreen on my face and hands. That done, she   accompanies 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 Louiza's car and she tootles me off to Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown, finding a park along level   two. Not a disabled park, though, since I've gotta cross the road to get inside.
  • Following one loo trip, we first buy groceries from Woolies before heading upstairs and buying more groceries from Woolies.
  • Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly: 
  • Read a Feist novel for   about thirty minutes; I thought he'd retired after publishing Magician's End, but he's published @ least two more!
  • Got home and took a nice warm shower - hairwash  today. Also thanks to Louiza who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was a tuna in tomato and onion toastie with TWO cheese and the inside HEAVILY buttered and one massive mug of delicious Earl Grey tea sweetened with one spoonful   of honey.
  • Signed Louiza off with my thanks and byes @ 1pm. Think she's back same time next week?
  • Toms: Jane's minding me 9:30am till  2pm. Presume we're buying cooking ingredients for my cooking this session this arvo  with Dorrie?
  • Fingers crossed PIG mum'll lemme  grab lunch from Ho Lin Wah; last Sunday already marked ONE WEEK since I've enjoyed a proper meal out! Not a very cool pre-birthday month  ... ><  XD
  • Hoping to watch the 6pm news for the 37TH time, once I've watched it for  the 36TH time tonight!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

Wednesday Post 611d

 Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Wednesday now stands @2111 but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTEEN MINUTES online after I get home from GG tonight!! Anyways, continuing today's events?

  • Mini Pearl and I happily cuddled and snored, me waking again foe the pot :P again around 7:45am and once more around 9am, just before noisy PIG mum begins her noisy daily a-THUMPING aroundupstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes and using the pot :P once more first.
  • Since PIG mum's left for Centrelink to file some documents, after I've mostly  rekitted myself I call dad please to finish with Elf's AFO straps and both laces. That done, I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth, 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 was one/two dry (no honey)  Weetbix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P, all my usual drugs :P and one full 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.

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 walk myself slowly and safely online, always again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

  • The new cleaner Hayley arrived! Two minutes late, but hey. XD I just reminded her to please leave the toilet lid up when she left.

  • Suddenly dad tells me we've going grocery shopping! I quickly use the loo for one tinkle, climb into Cherry and buckle my seatbelt.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

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*

Tuesday Post 610e

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 5277.  Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

  • 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.
  • Suddenly, dad summons me over to   eat black sesame tong yuen; apparently that's a CNY tradition?
  • Toms: PIG mum'll   help me up but then maybe expect a super-pissy plodding total from me, since she can't take me   grocery shopping and aisle walking since she's got sth  that needs doing   @ Centrelink.
  • But Jane's taking me to table tennis @ 1:30pm; let there be cake! Actually, will haveta chase Michelle and find out who's taking me to the first para-table tennis competition this Sunday; it's still TBA~
  • Will shower quickest when I get home, hopefully get 2nd arvo  tea while watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 35TH time! Jane leaves @ 6:30pm and I'll remind PIG mum to please gimme dinner once she leaves since Jenny's picking me up for GG Bible study @ 6:10pm!
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing   day toms!
    Cheers,

  • Dried, creamed and rekitted,  arvo    tea was one piece of fruit, one plain cracker and one huge mug of some T2 herbal tea.  Happiness was reading   the book club novel for one hour; finishing pg. 250 @ 3:49pm.
  • Used the loo for one tinkle, plopped online, read my daily Bible passages (started Mark today) then happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 34TH. All the things I like recording are in today's first post.
  • When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner @ 7:19pm, 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  little tong vegetable, lotsa icky bitter vegetable,  lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup potato, two small slices of   pork and one soup pork rib.

Tuesday Post 610c

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for tonight now stands @ 5083 (ha, I'm just over half a normal person today; that's rare!) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Knowing Yourself'. Anyways, continuing today's events?

  • Nature calls again around 7:45am and once more around 9am, shortly before noisy 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 out and awaiting Jessyca's arrival @ 9:30am.
  • After PIG mum lets Jessyca inside and gives me fifteen more minutes, Jessyca returns @ 9:45am and we get me kitted after I use the pot :P for one more tinkle.
  • That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk out to the gobbling :P table with Jessyca, who tells me she had scrambled eggs for breakfast this morning!
  • For me, breakfast was two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P and one slice of toast lightly spread with some avocado and lightly sprinkled with some salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • After breakfast, Jessyca covers me with sunscreen then accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast stuff up. Over the loo proper, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
  • After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Jessyca's car and she tootles us off to Pinelands Plaza. Thanks to her who kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt all day.
  • Jessyca finds a disabled park then grabs a trolley for us. First, I buy milk from Coles (saw Vicki and bid her Happy CNY!) then went and bought my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse. Very impressed: when I bid Aunty Nancy good morning, she immediately replied gong hei fat choi in perfect Canto! I cheered and asked her can you say anymore but she just shook her head, laughed and repeated gong hei fat choi again. XD
  • Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat and enjoyed my crunchy pork bahn mi, even though Jessyca didn't know how to put it into the toaster like Peggy does! I also enjoyed one big mug of white tea, but unfortunately horrid PIG mum wouldn't tell Jessyca where the sweetener was.  *sigh*
  • At 12:15pm I climbed back into the passenger seat of Jessyca's car and she tootled me off to the NAB for physio with Vien.
  • After I used the loo for one tinkle I sat in   the waiting room with Vien. When he came for me,  I remembered to thank him very sincerely for catching me from faceplanting the previous week.  XD
  • Physio today: Five TUG tests, one six-minute walk test, one walking backwards test and ten laps walking on double red mats and stepping over a hurdle with left weight shift. Next week's the 5th week, Vien's PROMISED me the HUGEST block of Twix that he can find, and Jem says that I can come for the next block Fridays from 10-12!
  • Jessyca tootled me home and I took a nice warm shower - hairwash  today. Also thanks to Jessyca who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

  • Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

  • CNY Eve dinner was rather disappointing:  complete    repeat    of    last night's dinner!  Personally, I'm worried since  since  dad was having    a Whatsapp video chat with 2nd aunty and she called me fatty several times; sheesh, I've not even started my birthday month yet! *sigh*
  • PIG mum put my   old AFO back on and I    walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • At 9pm I   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: Jessyca's minding    me 9:30 till 4:30pm.   We'll buy groceries from Coles, buy my once-weekly crunchy pork salad roll from   the Pinelands Bakehouse, come home for lunch then I've got NAB physio @ 1pm. Jessyca will see me home and showered before leaving @ 4pm. I'm looking forward to reading the Thursday Murder Club for one hour and watching the 6pm news for the 34TH time!

Monday Post 610c

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3525 (ha, I'm just over 3.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Let Us Reason Together' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!!  *sigh* Anyways, continuing events for today?

  • Lol, PIG mum's not   great   @ controlling her   excitement @ getting to yap @ Ray this morning; before I'd sat   down, already burbled one syllable five times and right after I   sat   down immediately repeated another syllable five times! XD Personally, I just   felt loved since the moment I entered Ray gave me a horsey red   packet! 
  • After I used the loo for one more tinkle PIG mum tootled me back to Warrigal   Square where we bought groceries from Woolies before coming home for lunch with   dearest dad.
  • Lunch over, dad tootled me off to   APO to   get my new AFO!
  • Lol, when   we left Peter said just come back if there's any issue; lol, I only reached the backseat of the car before coming back; the ankle was fine but near the front of the foot   hurt!
  • Take two:   we left again and all was good. 
  • We'd just returned home and I was over the loo when Jacinta arrived; 'twas already 4pm!
  • So a nice warm shower for me -    hairwash  today. Also thanks to Jacinta who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing   Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo  tea was one plain   cracker, one yummy pear and one huge mug of some weird T2 tea. Happiness was reading the book   club novel for one hour, finishing pg.   200 @ 4:39pm, finishing pg. 222 @ 5:13pm and reaching pg.  225 @ 5:15pm. Happiness was then having twenty-five minutes to play Crazy Manor Match while Jacinta very gently gave Ela a nice long massage.
  • At 5:55pm I   sat over the loo for two   tinkles then   signed Jacinta off with my thanks and byes. She's back   same time next week.
  • Happily watched pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 33RD time. All the things I like   recording are @ the bottom of the first post.
  • When I was summoned 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 Gd’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.  But argh, Elf's ankle started hurting.  ><
Cheers,
Em.  ^^

 Heylo    again    and good evening!  Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3382 but secondly    and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after dinner tonight!! Righteo, events for today?

  • Yay, what better way to start the week than with an awesome sleep last night? Nature didn't  call until 6:20am and after  one pot :P trip I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P 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 and help me 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 first and then giving myself fifteen more minutes.
  • PIG mum returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Breakfast is one/two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P, all my usual drugs :P   and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the bathroom, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
  • After  washing  and drying   Era,  I   climb into   the backseat of  PIG mum's car and buckle my  own   seatbelt.  She  tootles me  off to   see  Ray for some massage and acupuncture.

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3404. Sorry, not quite 3.5 grand. Maybe toms.   XD Righteo,   final, final events for tonight?

  • PIG mum eventually gave me some fruit, one plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea. I happily read The Thursday Murder Club for one hour, reaching part two and pg. 175 @ 4:28pm . Then I had like twenty minutes to play my current version of Bejeweled before PIG mum woke from her long arvo nap and ordered me off to shower.
  • So a nice warm shower for   me - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favoyrite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was all done after only 11% but happily leaned fully against the right-side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before tapping the nice warm water off and calling PIG mum back.
  • Since PIG mum won't even dry my back for me anymore once she dried the back of the seat I did everything else until my bra strap needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
  • After drying the loo seat I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped both feet dry, washed and dried Era then walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 32ND time. All the things I like recording are in today's first post.
  • Once the news ended and the parents called dinnertime, I used the loo for one tinkle then   climbed into the backseat of the blue Cherry.
  • Like previous Sundays, dinner was @ Ho Lin Wah. The rice set meal didn't suit me tonight (some kinda curry) so instead I had nearly one (but not quite) bowl of fried  Hokkien  noodle with   chicken, one deep-fried mantou   dunked into condensed milk and drank half the set soup, one cup of Chinese tea and just over one-mouthful of the HK-style milk tea.
  • Back home, I walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Since PIG mum had promised to feed me one spoonful of rice I thought she'd bring it over, but when I asked her please to, she snapped come over to the dining table. No biggie, I   walked myself slowly and safely over there, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Tum  Tum satisfied, 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: late morning appointment to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him.  XD Me, I'd better remember to bai  leen @ him so I can get a red packet! XD
  • Mightn't have time to buy groceries with PIG mum before returning home for lunch with dearest dad since toms arvo I'm getting my new AFO from APO! Will try remember to take a photo of the Minion one to say bye to~
  • Hope Michelle replies toms morning and says who's minding me from 4-6; hoping to read the Thursday Murder Club for another hour and watch the 6pm news for the 33RD time!
  • Righteo, wishing everyone a smashing week   ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

  •  Once I'd used up the most important two hours of the day, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat @ the gobbling :P table to read for one hour and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Sunday Post 610

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2442 steps (so certain I'll have passed 2.5 grand before the night's out XD); secondly, John Piper's daily   devotional topic from last night's 'Christ As Means And End'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Pray For A Divine Revelation' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's 'Handle With  Care'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Grr! I was ONE sleep from achieving the 4th time I'd achieved one straight week of consecutive awesome sleeps but idiot nature called @ 12:20am and ruined it! >< *sigh* Wonder why she called again around 3am with another full bladder? Doesn't matter; aside from that, 'twas a sound sleep~
  • 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*
  • But not only that, I had my 2ND food dream; I was attending GCCW and eating JAM DROPS for morning tea!! :D
  • Noisy  PIG mum's daily a-THUMPING around upstairs awakes me for  another pot :P trip; shortly afterwards, she's let  herself into  my room to hit  me with the eye goo and help   exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but  the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into the tee then giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
  • PIG mum returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to   walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one 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 loo, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
  • After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). She tootles us off to church (we're that early  the parking uahers haven't even  started  duty  yet   XD) and parks outside the service hall;  I hike up  the ramp, use the disabled toilet (the seat was up but  @ least  the lid was too), washed and dried Era, headed into  the service hall then grabbed my  usual spot on the most left. 
  • Yay I get to stay seated for worship today. I sing everything, plus the harmony for all four songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
  • Speaker today was Pastor Peter Pie; his sermon was from his Joshua series.
  • After service ended twenty-one minutes early and PIG mum collected me, I used the loo myself again (the normal one, since the disabled was already occupied) then headed around the back and sat @ the table for morning tea.
  • Apart from one packet of Arnold's bikkies and one cup of white tea hopefully sweetened with some sugar; Granny Wan also shouted me one more biscuit! I've learned it's impossible to turn down old grannies trying to give you food. XD
  • While everyone else enjoyed lunch @ some Vietnamese place, dad made me eat with him @ Hungry Jack's again. *sigh* One junior whopper and exactly ten chips for me, but I drank an iced chocolate!  Originally, I'd shook a medium shake but @ the counter the server told dad the milkshake machine was outta order! o_O Dad was asking for an orange juice instead but luckily, I had the sense to call out how about an iced chocolate please??  Lol dad nicked most of the cream @ the top but left me the drink, score~ Today marks ONE WEEK since I've enjoyed a proper meal out; hopefully another will come along this week!
  • Back home, I used the loo for one more tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

  • Have just emailed Michelle for the TBAs in my roster for this week~
  • Toms:  PIG mum'll help me up, since I'm got a late morning appointment to   see Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Think I'd better bai leen to him, too; isn't CNY like Tuesday?
  • We'll come home for lunch with dearest dad but then excitement:  off to   APO to get my new AFO!
  •  Still waiting for Michelle to get back to me about who's minding me from 4-6pm but I'm hoping to read the book club novel for another hour and watch the 6pm news for the 32ND time after the carer leaves! 
  • Anyways, hopefully  bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
    P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's, read by Mia Glover) for the 32ND time: Jiselle (first name), Manning, Albanese, Todhunter, Giles, Partridge, Golding  (heard), Butler, Rogers,  Cunningham, Shannon, Strong, Harbison, Greer, Flynn, Corey, Anderson, Bradley, Herbert, Smylie, Cameron, Djodan, Duffy, Reynolds, Marles, Berman, Yim,  Damon (first name), Lewis, Nicholls, Navalny (heard), Putin (heard), Byrne Guthrie (heard), Willcox, Peel (heard) Ahern, Butler and Youngberry.

Saturday Post 610d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3249. Righteo,  final, final   events for tonight?

  • After one more tinkle I plopped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 31ST time.  All   the things I like recording are in   today's first post.
  • When   PIG mum summoned me for dinner @ 7:13pm, 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.
  • Uncle Slam's over for dinner but   Anna left for Singapore this morning!
  • My  favourite for dinner was the duck   dearest dad cooked; unsure why I only got one tiny piece under a mountain of soup vegetables but after I'd finished, I asked PIG mum please for one more and she gave me two little pieces~
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking   the bowl to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Suddenly PIG mum   summoned me back to the gobbling :P table @ 8:40pm for black sesame dessert, yum! But I only went for five minutes, slurped down my bowl and returned online~
  • At 9pm I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. Alas that dad won't lemme join other ESS people for lunch; that marks one WEEK when I'm not had a proper meal out. >< So much for pre-birthday celebrations.  *sigh*
  • Braced for a stressful  arvo @ the hands of PIG mum but hoping to read the book club novel for another hour/two~
  • Righteo,  looking forward too seeing everyone @ church toms!
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

Saturday Post 610c

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding   total   for Saturday now stands @ 3149 but secondly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed NINE MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

  • After  PIG mum picks me  up and tootles me  home, I use the  loo for one tinkle then  sit  @ the  gobbling :P  table to munch my  arvo tea sushi, drink one massive mug of  herbal  tea and read the new book club novel for  a good long while,  since it's only Saturdays that I can  spend a blessed three hours with  my  nose  buried in a book. Today I finished pg. 100 @ 3:01pm, found the book title on pg.  104, finished pg. 111 @ exactly 3:15pm, finished pg. 125 @ 3:22pm and finished pg.  150 @ exactly 4:05.
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

Saturday Post 610b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3102 (See? Told you I'd crack three grand! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Walk In Grace' but thirdly   and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FOUR MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, continuing today's events?

  • Fifteen minutes later, I announce to Jane that I'm hungry and swing myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle. Jane comes, we get me kitted and then 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 that she had her usual breakfast smoothie for her morning meal.
  • Me, I have my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered toast lightly spread with avocado, another tall cup of water, all my usual drugs :P and one my first big mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of sugar. Over and after breakfast, I happily read the book club novel for thirty minutes.
  • While Jane shuts and locks windows, I use the loo for one more tinkle before climbing into the backseat of Sarah (SAZ is Jane's car's rego  plate XD). She parks underground since rain's been forecast but the main disappointment's that PIG mum won't  lemme use Sparkless 3. No more window shopping... *sigh*
  • Groceries bought, Jane then grabs my honey chicken sushi roll for me before we return home and 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,  for lunch I eat one bowl of rice leftovers (thanks to Jane who added some oyster sauce for me, for taste) and two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey. I continue reading, reaching page fifty   @ 11:52am.
  • I sit over the loo for two more tinkles while Jane washes the lunch stuff and then climb back into Sarah. Oh, thanks to Jane who helps me buckle my seatbelt all day.
  • At church, I sign Jane off with my thanks and byes (she's back next   Wednesday for table tennis) and then dad and I play table tennis! Since he lets me win, I   tell PIG mum that she doesn't need to bok him for me when she comes to pick me up. XD
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 610

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2918 steps (so will surely have passed 3000 before Saturday ends XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Perfect   City'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Consult God In Everything' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Eternally Beloved" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm  really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-SIX MINUTES online after I  watch  the 6pm  news (Nine's) for  the  31ST time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 6th 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*
  • Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P 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 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 Jane's arrival @ 9:30am.
  • After PIG mum lets Jane in, Jane knocks, pushes open the door and calls "Good morning, Em; fifteen more minutes." She's quick: Pearl nods good morning @ her but before he can flick his body 'shoo' @ her she's already closed the door! XD
  • Cheers,
    Em.  ^^
    P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news Nine's, read by Mia Glover) for the 31ST time: Guthrie, Butler, Margot (first name, Robbie, Elordi, Ha-teya (first name), Gripske, Cassius (first  name, heard), Thimble (heard), Geran, Felim (first name), Hanniffy, Copp, Taylor, Hume, Albanese, Keating (heard), Farrell (heard), Ryan, Baff, Peel  (heard), Thomas,Tsimpikas (heard), Scotty (first name), James, Guseli, Ahern, Bolton, Geran, Francis, Van Lunteren, DeChambeau, Molineaux, Renshaw, McDonald, Kiss, D'Alessandro, Moffat, Perrett, Brindle, Wei, Klaebo, Timmings, Makenna (first name),  Baily and Stolz.

Friday Post 610c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 4885. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

  • Once Liam left, I sat down to munch arvo  tea (less than banana since dad chopped both ends off; apparently the banana was off?, one plain cracker and one big, delicious mug of New York breakfast tea) and start reading The Thursday Murder Club for one hour! Today I reached page twenty-five @ 4:04pm and I'm planning to read the book for three hours toms; it's awesome!
  • Used the loo for one tinkle, plopped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 30TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of today's first post.
  • When   PIG mum summoned me for dinner @ 7:19pm 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  little tong vegetable,  lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup tomato,  lotsa soup onion and several tiny chunks of delicious pork chop.
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • When nature randomly called @ 8:20/8:40am I walked myself once slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • At 9pm I   walk myself slowly and safely once more to the loo for one last tinkle and back, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Toms:  Jane's minding me am till 1pm.  PIG mum says we'll buy my  arvo tea honey chicken sushi roll plus anymore groceries she wants from   Woolies; fingers crossed she'll lemme use Sparkless3 and I can WINDOW SHOP!! :D
  • Jane will see me home, showered and fed with lunch  before dropping me off @ church  to play table tennis with  dearest  dad @ 1pm.
  • Looking forward to  getting home and reading  all  arvo while munching my honey   chicken sushi  roll; it's  only Saturdays I   can spend a blessed three  hours  with my nose buried  in  a book!
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing weeklend ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Friday Post 610b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4690 (4th consecutive day I'm over four grand and 2nd consecutive day I'm over 4.5 grand; woot!) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "God's Peace". Righteo,   continuing tonight's events?

  • After PIG mum lets Jane inside @ 9:30am, Jane knocks, pushes open the door and calls "Good morning, Em; fifteen more minutes." Mini Pearl nods back @ her and Jane's quick; she's already shut the door and left before he can flick his body 'shoo' @ her!" XD
  •  When Jane comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle and we get me kitted before I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Jane, who tells me that she had her usual breakfast smoothie for her morning meal.
  • For my breakfast, I munch one bowl of healthy cereal with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*

  •  After breakfast, Jane covers my face and both hands with sunscreen then accompanies 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 passenger seat of Sarah (SAZ is Jane's car's license plate number XD) and Jane tootles me off to Breathe for physio. Aww, today I feel loved:  Connor greets me on arrival!

  • Physio today: 1.879km bike, forty bar-assisted push-ups, forty steps for Erf, forty steps for Elf, forty v-bar cable, forty leg extensions for Elf. Forty leg curls for Elf, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing!

  • After one loo trip (the toilet was already unlocked this morning, meaning Jane didn't   need to press CZ258 into the keypad) Jane tootled me off to  Rochedale  Coles to buy cooking ingredients and I used Sparkless3, meaning I got to   WINDOW SHOP!! Not that Woolies offers much in terms of window shopping. XD

  • Back home, I took a nice warm shower -   hairwash today. Also thanks to Jane who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was a tuna in tomato and onion toastie with TWO cheese and one big, delicious mug of New York breakfast although sadly without any sweetener since the parents have hidden it. *sigh*

  • At 1:55pm I sit over the loo for two more tinkles then sign Jane off with my thanks and byes. She's back toms 9:30am till 1pm~

  • When Liam arrived, he'd bought a wheelie walker for me to try using! Unsure why PIG mum was so negative about it? Sure, back in 2008 Ela was too unco to hold on, but today I walked down the hallway with Liam holding Ela and I reckon she did okay! 

  • I'm just upset that my typing speed has slowed; post brain-injury I thought Era could manage 31WPM but today she only managed twenty-seven. >< Should I get into typing practice to   bring that back up?
    Cheers,
    Em.    ^^

Friday Post 610

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4465 steps (so should have passed 4.5 grand before the night's out); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's Lincoln's Providence (seems familiar?); thirdly, TWFT topic's "Live By The Principles Of God's Word" and fourthly, Our Daily devotional topic's 'Be Careful!' but fifthly   and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 30TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 5th consecutive 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*
  • Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P again around 7:45am   when dearest dad kisses me bye and retucks me back into bed, saying he's off to church/Uncle Calvin's place for work.
  • Another hour's cuddling and happy snoring for Mini Pearl and me, nature calling 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 Jane's arrival @ 9:30am.
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^
