Friday Post 617b

 Heylo again, good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for today now stands @ 5506 (sweet I'm more than half a normal person today XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "Don't Tame The Resurrection". Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• PIG mum's prepared a special birthday breakfast for me: MILO cereal! And not just ordinary Milo   but the edition that comes with pink (strawberry?) flakes coz of the Matildas! Can't remember  did I  also eat a slice of  toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully  sprinkled with  some salt (think  I did?), but I definitely popped all  my  usual drugs :P and drank one full mug of water. 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*
• Less than thirty minutes left,  so just briefly:
• NAB physio  with Nathanan: Lotsa stepping for Erf with left weight, eighteen laps walking along a 9m strip, some stepping for Elf without right weight shift, ten double leg squats for both legs on Tower Of Power and thirty single leg squats on Tower Of Power for Elf.
• Went to Sunnybank Plaza to   get my   free Boost Juice and hiked down to where I remembered it was, but it's GONE!! >< I was so upset Jane was  a sweetheart  and shouted me a bubble  tea~ XD
• Got  home, showered and had a Toastie for lunch before Ari came and gave Ela one hour of unfunctional  exercises. She's only  twenty and thought I was turning  twenty-nine, not THIRTY-NINE! XD
• Birthday dinner @ Yum  Cha Cuisine with The Slams and Aunty A! Dad lemme choose Peking duck~
• Came homr for  one  slice of  birthday cheesecake~ The Broncos were losingf  by 2 with fifteen minnutes left but once I   started watching  we scored and hung onto win! Will read match  report after match repoort toms and bask  in  their  glory. XD
• Toms: Jacinta's minding me from 9:30am till 1pm.  Hopefully she can  take me to get my  belated free Boost juice!
• Perhaps I can read the  book  club novel for three hours toms?

Friday Post 617

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4477 steps today (nice I'm over four grand; that doesn't happen very often!); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'A Six-Point Summary Of The Gospel'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Prevailing Prayer' and fourthly, Our Daily   Bread's devotional topic's 'Beyond The Blues' but fifthly  and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-FIVE MINUTES online after I  get home from  my  birthday dinner with the parents and Aunty A!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, what better way to begin your BIRTHDAY than with your 8th consecutive awesome sleep last night? Nature  didn't  call until  the noisy garbage truck THUNDERED down our road and started tipping bins; 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*
• Can't remember did I wake again for the pot :P around 7:45am/not, but I definitely did just before 9am. Shortly afterwards, PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs and soon she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo. I feel loved since she wakes me with a happy birthday! ~
• After PIG mum lets Jane inside @ 9:30am, Jane knocks, pushes open the door and calls "Good morning, Em; fifteen more minutes." I nod Daddy Bear @ her and she's closing the door when she suddenly adds "Oh, and happy birthday!"
• When she comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle and Jane immediately confesses that she had a birthday card written out for me but left it sitting on the kitchen benchtop this morning so she'll bring it when I see her next Wednesday for table tennis. XD
• After we get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth and sit over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying   Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Jane, who tells me that she had her usual breakfast smoothie for her morning meal today.
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Thursday Post 617d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3225. See? Told you I'd crack three grand! XD  Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• When nature called suddenly @ 8:20pm, I walked myself slowly and safely once 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. Unsure why the side of Elf's heel (not the malleolus) started hurting? Told PIG mum and she came and took a photo; presuming she'll book me into see Peter when she's free? I've already let him know over Messenger~
• 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: it's my BIRTHDAY!! Jane's helping me up @ 8am and taking me to a two-hour session @ the NAB with Nathan.
• Afterwards PIG mum says we can go to Sunnybank Plaza and get my free Boost Juice; I'm just trying to figure out how to get a free bubble tea, too! XD
• Jane will see me home and showered before leaving @ 2pm and then Ari's coming to give Ela one hour of unfunctional exercises; fingers crossed she remembers my bubble tea!
• I'm turning thirty-nine @ 6:22pm and then we're meeting Aunty A for my birthday dinner before coming home for birthday cake!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing end to the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 617c

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2974 (so will definitely have passed 3000 before the night ends XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Crowning Day'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• After the news ended, I called out was dinner ready yet? When dearest dad replied come, 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: the less-yummy rice, lotsa yummy  wombok, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup potato, one tiny piece of tasteless soup pork and like half a teaspoon of pork mince.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back 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 Friday else wishing everyone a smashing end to   their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 617b

 Heylo   again and potentially one final greeting for today! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2788. Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• Once I'd used up my most important two hours of the day online, I used the loo for one tinkle then headed over to the gobbling :P table and asked PIG mum please for my muffin from Daph for arvo tea! I've never been really a fan of raspberry (kid's Panadol) but anything paired with chocolate can't be wrong! XD I enjoyed that with a delicious mug of Chinese tea~
• Took a nice warm shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was done after only 10% but happily leaned fully against the right side-rail and happily watered myself for another tinkle before tapping the nice warm water off and calling PIG mum back.
• 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 PIG mum didn't feature again until 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 both ears, washed and dried Era then walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Gonna finish sharing my Facebook memories then start composing my birthday reflections post; it's due before my BIRTHDAY toms!
• Hopefully bbl tonight, else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news (Nine's, read by Melissa Downes and Joel     Dry) for the 52ND time: Heagney, Crisafulli, Albanese, McVeigh, Todhunter, Ha-teya (first name), Gripske, Butler, Netanyahu, Janetzki, Jeffreys, Gee (heard), D'Alessandro, Plath, Tsimpikas (heard), Fa'alongo (heard), Thurston (heard), Bronson (first   name,  heard), Zahos (heard), Rogers, Crutchfield, Green, Garvey, Fuka, Catley, Harris, Flegler, Xerri  (heard), Ward, Maguire (heard), Bellamy (heard), Ronde, Godfrey, Griffin, McDonald, Chalmers,  Cook, Probyn, Tulsi (first  name), Gabbard, Rugg (heard), Bowen, Jenkins, Azzopardi, Trump, Stream and Youngberry.

Thursday Post 617

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2398 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily   devotional topic from last night's 'Why We Must Hold Fast Our Hope (seems familiar?); thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Abounding Grace'' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Waiting For God'. Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 7th consecutive awesome sleep last night! The best way to begin the day before my official BIRTHDAY: the 5th time this year I've achieved one straight week of awesome sleeps! :D
• Like the past two days, 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, me waking once more for the pot :P 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 and help me exceedingly slightly with  absolutely nothing bar the bra strap (well,  she also spreads the tee out, but that's it) before leaving me to get  myself mostly  independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• That done, I sit up, pound the wall and ask PIG mum to finish with Elf's AFO straps and both shoelaces since it's already 9:45am and I don't wanna already be back in bed for another night's rest before twelve hours have passed since it'll feel like I've wasted the whole day! Still, she takes her time about it, meaning I don't let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth till like 9:55am. *sigh*
• Teeth brushed, I walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, ng 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. PIG mum rings CODA and informs Michelle that I'm slightly sick, asking her please check is Louiza okay to mind me provided she wears a mask? Only Michelle rings back   saying Louiza's sick too! Support cancelled. >< 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 sit outside my room until PIG mum's moved the car back onto the driveway then climb into the backseat and buckle my seatbelt.  PIG mum tootles us down the road to the Warrigal Square Woolies.
• Aww, we don't bump into Kat today; I wanted to tell her that 'twas my BIRTHDAY toms! PIG mum and I just buy me a can of Campbells Cream of Chicken soup and a pack/two of wet wipes.
• Back home I use the loo for another tinkle, finish reading today's Bible passages then head over to the gobbling :P table for lunch; thanks to PIG mum who's actually given me TWO slices of dry (unbuttered) toast along with my bowl of Campbells soup and one huge mug of green tea!
• After lunch I started trying to build one of those LEGO Bricks packets until dearest dad arrived home from somewhere and PIG mum headed out for her water aerobics class. I used the loo for one tinkle then plopped online.
• Waiting for PIG mum to get back and then we'll each have one of those choc chip and raspberry muffins that Daph gifted me a pack of yesterday!
• Fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 52ND time!
• Toms: it's my   BIRTHDAY!! :D Jane's minding me from 8-2; she'll help me up, then take me to the NAB for two hours before seeing me home and showered. Fingers crossed PIG mum'll let us get my free birthday Boost Juice!
• PIG mum says Ari's coming to give Ela one hour of unfunctional exercises; hope she remembers to bring my birthday bubble tea! :D
• Biggest excitement: birthday dinner with Aunty A!  Prolly @ Yum Cha And Co; hopefully afterwards she'll come home and eat cake with us!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 5th 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 have a massive me not waking again for the pot :P   until nearly 9am! Shortly after that pot :P trip, noisy   PIG mum begins her daily   usual 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 @ 9:30am.
• After PIG mum lets Peggy inside, Peggy knocks, pushes open the door and announces good morning. When Daddy Bear nods @ her, Peggy next states "Fifteen more minutes." This time, Daddy Bear just flicks his paw 'git' @ her; Peggy smirks and wisely withdraws. XD
• After I've counted down fifteen more minutes, I announce I'm hungry to Peggy and then swing myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle. Peggy immediately comes, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who squirts some toothpaste for me. Teeth brushed, I use the loo for one more tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table with Peggy, who tells me that she had her usual two fried eggs for breakfast.
• Less than forty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Had breakfast, did a stinky unspeakable, bought groceries from Coles Pinelands plus my once-weekly crunchy pork  bahn mi from Aunty Nancy then went to get my new book club novel and get a new library card but they've gone digital now!
• Got home, showered and had my delicious crunchy pork bahn  mi  plus one huge mug of delicious vanilla chai for lunch, sadly without sweetener.
• Used loo for one more tinkle then signed Peggy off with my thanks and byes @ 2pm. She's back same time next week.
• Wanted to read today's Bible readings but the parents were chucking  a cow @ me about  belated birthday lunch celebrations with Fi. *sigh*
• Once I've used up  my  most important   two hours of the day I'll use the loo for one tinkle,  finish sharing my  Facebook memories then read as  close to  one hour I   can get before returning online  and watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's)    for the 51ST time.
• Toms:  Jane's not taking me  to table tennis until 1:30pm  so fingers crossed PIG mum'll  help   me up  not  too  late and take me grocery  shopping somewhere else expect a super-pissy plodding  total from me, since I can't find a  ride  to   GG toms night. *sigh* Unless dad takes me   to  play  table tennis with  him @ church  again?
• Anyways,  hopefully  bbl, else wishing  everyone  a smashing day toms!

Actually, 'twas 5546 but that number pissed me off enough to get up, plod nine more steps around the chair to reach 5555. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After breakfast, I walked 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 rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Just twenty minutes left, so just briefly:
• I was still reading today's Bible passages when the parents say it's time to go!
• Dad dropped PIG mum   and me off @  the P.A then  went to collect our  free burgers!
• (To read about today's MRI, checkout the Facebook post)

Monday Post 616

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 5468 steps (sweet I'm more than half a normal person today, that's rare! XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Subversive For The Savior'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Be Sensitive To God's Presence'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Lives Offered To God' and fifthly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Suffering For God' but fifthly  and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-THREE MINUTES after I visit  the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:25am and after one pot :P trip I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Daddy Bear and I happily   cuddle and snore, me not waking again until almost 9am for the pot :P just before noisy PIG mum begins her usual daily noisy a-THUMPING around. 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 crop top (clever PIG mum remembered: bras not allowed for MRI!)fore leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after 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 out to the gobbling :P table and brush teeth.  That done, I sit over the loo for one 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 might've been another chicken cocktail bun?  I definitely pop all my usual drugs :P and drain one big cup of water. Oh, I might've even drunk a cup  of unsweetened milk tea! Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  Cheers,
  Em.

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3285 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Self-Control'. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• She eventually arose briefly to pass me some fruit, one plain cracker and one huge mug of herbal tea before returning to happy  snorings on the sofa; I ate that and happily kept playing the newest version of Bejeweled that I started playing.
• Eventually I'm ordered to take a shower - I wash and rinse my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sing 15% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
• Less than fifteen minutes left, so just super-briefly:
• Dried, creamed and rekitted I returned online, did my weekly file backup and watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 49TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• Had our once-weekly family dinner out together @ Ho Lin Wh.
• Toms: not seeing Ray for any massage and acupuncture since I've got an MRI appointment @ midday! Presuming we'll eat   an early lunch @ home before heading out?
• Fingers crossed I'll get home in time for Jacinta to mind me from 4-6pm!
• Would love to watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the FIFTIETH time!
• Anyways, wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2737. Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• 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 and played mobile games while waiting for PIG mum too wake  from her arvo nap oon the couch and gimme some arvo tea.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 616

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2365 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "The Triumph's Sure"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Take Good Care Of Your Mother' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Being A Light For Christ'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, second consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 6:25am and after one pot :P trip, I immediately fell back asleep since I knew PIG mum would get noisy around 7am!
• Actually, I fell so deeply back asleep that I didn't wake until PIG mum let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo! I quickly used the pot :P for one more tinkle, she helped me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and she spreads the tee out and then she left me   to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggle into the tee then giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Breakfast is one of the cocktail buns I helped PIG mum make yesterday! That was with one cup of milk tea (unfortunately unsweetened but still nice), 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 say). PIG mum tootles us off to church and parks outside our service hall. I hike up the ramp, use the second cubicle of the normal ladies loo myself, wash and dry both   hands then grab my usual spot inside the service hall.
• Yay, I get to stay seated for worship today~ I sing everything, plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Dr.  Lee; his sermon  was from  the Joshua series and service emded thirteen minutes early today.
• Afterwards I used the  disabled loo once myself  then hiked around to the back and sat for morning  tea, munching one packet  of Arnott's bikkies and drinking another cup  of sugar-free tea.
• Less than twenty minutes left, so just briefly: everyone else enjoyed lunch  together   @ Market Square but I was stuck  @ Hungry Jack's again. *sigh* Another chicken royale and LESS than ten chips but @ least I shook a small choc  shake!
• Got home, used loo for one tinkle and plopped online.
• Toms: not seeing Ray for  any massage and acupuncture coz I'm off to the P.A. for my   MRI!
• Hopefully the shunt's pressure settings are  rest and I'll get home early  since  Jacinta's minding me from   4-6pm.
• Fingers crossed I can  watch the  6pm  news for the 49TH time!
• Anyways, hopefully   bbl,   else wishing everyone a smashing  week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 616c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight!  Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3594. Aww, sorry, not quite four grand; maybe toms. XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• Had awesome fun playing with dad and actually learnt that the Canto service now has a Saturday day service, not just a Saturday night and Sunday morning one! Good to see CM expanding~ Dad was awesome and lemme win but hit me like TEN times! ><  XD
• Whoops outta time so just super-briefly:
• Got home and read Adam Reynolds' memoirs all arvo; it's only Saturday that I can spend a blessed three hours reading~
• Watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 48TH time (all the things I like recording are in today's first post) then had ate for dinner what I ate for lunch (cooking leftovers from yesterday) piled high with several  soup vegetables.
• Used loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm.
• Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. Was originally excited that it's been two MONTHS since I last enjoyed lunch out with other ESS members and can join again but it's only been seven. *sigh*
• Meaning it's been a very lonely birthday month:   skipped book club last night since dad and I were watching the Broncos (so missed out on a birthday dinner), Mr. Hall's in heaven now and can't contact me anymore for dinner @ The Glen and the parents won't lemme ask any peers out for a celebratory meal. *sigh again*
• Righteo,  looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 616b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3847 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Pray For Endurance' but thirdly and way most importantly I'm really   still owed SIX MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, continuing today's events?

• After washing and drying Era I head out to the gobbling :P table with Jane, who tells me that she had her usual breakfast smoothie for her morning meal today.
• Me, I have my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with avocado, another cup of water, all my usual drugs :P and my first big mug white tea  tea with two sugars. Over aand after breakfast, I happily read Adam Reynolds' memoirs for thirty minutes first up, reaching pg. 125 @ exactly 10:15am.
• After I asked Jane to please give my face and both arms some sunscreen, I used the loo for one more tinkle and washed and dried Era before I climbed into the passenger seat of Sarah (SAZ is Jane's car's rego  plate. XD) Jane tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace,  parks underground and grabs a trolley for us.
• PIG mum only wants milk today but while we're lining up @ the self-serve checkouts I spot Hambo @ another register and tell Jane let's visit him! When it's our turn, I excitedly tell him it's my BIRTHDAY next Friday and Hambo replies ooh, special day! Then I confirm with him that the LEGO Bricks promotion has indeed ended. XD
• Back home I take a nice warm shower -  hairwash today. Also thanks to Jane who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted,  lunch is one bowl of the yummy chicken dish I cooked with Dorrie yesterday plus two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with two sugars.
• I sat over the loo for two more tinkles before Jane tootled me off to play table tennis with dearest dad @ church; since we arrived so early, I visited the loo once more.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 616

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3645 steps (ha, I'm over 3.5 grand but doubt I'll reach four grand before the night ends, sorry XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic   from last night's "Jesus Is God's Amen"; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Keep Calm And Carry On" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional  topic's "God's Timing" but  fifthly   and way most importantly,  I'm  really   still  owed  ONE HOUR and TWENTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after I  watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 48TH time!!  Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, what better way than to start the weekend with my second consecutive awesome sleep last night?  Likje yesterday, nature didn't call until  6:25am 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 cuddled and snored; when nature called again around 7:45am I used the pot :P again before 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*
• PIG mum's daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs shortly after 9am wakes me for one more pot :P trip; soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before returning outside and awaiting Jane's arrival @ 9:45am.
• Once PIG mum let JUane inside Jane knocked, pushed open the door and called "Good morning, Em; fifteen more minutes." I only had time to nod Daddy Bear @ her before Jane immediately shut the door; Daddy Bear missed out his chance to flop his paw 'shoo' @ her! XD
• Once I'd counted down the fifteen more minutes, I swung myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle  and announced "Jane, I'm hungry."
• Jane immediately came inside, we got me kitted and then I headed over to  the bathroom and brushed teeth. After drinking one 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!

• Yay, what better way to end the week then with my first awesome night's sleep in three days? Nature didn't call until  the  noisy  garbage truck  THUNDERED down  our   road   @ 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 PIG mum lets Jane inside, she knocks, opens the door and calls "Good morning, Em" before adding "Fifteen more minutes." Daddy Bear has time only to nod his head @ her, and she's already shut the door and left, meaning he's not got the time to flick his paw 'shoo' @ her! XD
• When Jane returns, I use the pot :P for two/three more tinkles, we get me kitted before I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth and sit over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Jane, who tells me that she had her usual breakfast smoothie for her morning meal today.

Thursday Post 616b

 Heylo  again, good afternoon again and take  two: firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1939  steps (so   will have definitely  passed 2000 before Thursday ends XD);  secondly, John Piper's devotional   topic from last night's  'Two Infinitely Strong And Tender Truths'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Count Your Blessings' and  fourthly, Our  Daily     Bread's devotional topic's 'The  Cost Of  Commitment' but  fifthly  and way  most   importantly, I'm   really   still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTEEN MINUTES online   after I get   back home from  watching the Broncos play the Eels;  argh;   that's the SECOND  CONSECUTIVE DAY  that I've been UNABLE to  enjoy  the ENTIRETY of the MOST IMPORTANT  TWO  HOURS OF THE DAY ONLINE!! ><  But just briefly, events for today?

Tuesday Post 615

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4211 steps (ooh, I'm over 4000 steps; that doesn't happen very often!); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'God Cares For You'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Show Your Appreciation' 'The Hope Jesus Brings'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:25am 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* Actually, nature already called once just before midnight; after one pot :P trip I'd just crawled back into bed when either parent went THUMP! upstairs! Luckily, I'd just relieved myself otherwise I'd have been really grumpy @ being denied an awesome sleep. >< XD
• Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, nature calling once around 9am, shortly before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor Elf a very brief rub since she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night. Doesn't matter:  Era rubbed Elf's ankle for fifteen minutes last night and let her wear her sock to sleep although obviously peeled it off her first thing this morning! XD
• Once PIG mum let Peggy inside @ 9:30am, Peggy knocked and opened the door before announcing "Good morning." When Daddy Bear nods good morning back @ her, Peggy next states, "Fifteen more minutes." Daddy Bear nods once more that flicks his paw   'shoo' @ her. Peggy just smirks with laughter and wisely withdraws, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum.  XD
• Once I've counted 900 seconds, I give Peggy thirty more seconds leeway before grousing "Peggy, I'm hungry!" and swinging myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle. Turns out Peggy was already waiting outside my room; she immediately comes inside and we get me kitted.
• While Peggy gets me some breakfast ready, I brush teeth (thanks to Peggy who's already squirted me some toothpaste), sit over the loo then wash and dry Era before heading out to the gobbling :P table with Peggy, who tells me that she had her usual two fried eggs for breakfast this morning.
• For breakfast, I only get two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread with   avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt cut into four squares, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water.  Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, Peggy slathers my face and both arms with sunscreen then accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast things up.  Over the loo, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 

• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of Auto (pronounced Alto) and Peggy tootles me off to Breathe for physio. You're allowed to park after the first three spaces; unsure why Peggy always parks @ the very end where the disabled spot   is? I thought the disabled spots were closer to the entrance but that one's the furthest away! Doesn't matter~
• Physio today: .783km bike ride, forty v-bar cable rows for both   hands, forty bar-assisted pushups, forty steps for Erf with left weight shift, forty steps for Elf, forty leg extensions for Elf. forty leg curls for Elf, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing! Biggest   surprise:   after half a DECADE, Breathe's relocating to Macgregor! Winnie says rent here keeps rising and their new place will be both home and work!
• After one loo trip (CZ259 opens the female bathroom, and the second cubicle has an ambulant rail) Peggy tootled me off to the Baskin Robbins @ Calamvale   Central to redeem my free ice cream! :D
• But I left without. ><  Sth wrong with the sign-in? Peggy assures me PIG mum will help me sort that out though and she'll take me again next week~
• Back home, I showered my quickest - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed   and rekitted, lunch was my delicious crunchy pork salad roll and one odd-tasting mug of herbal tea from T2.
• At 2pm, I signed Peggy off with my thanks and byes. She's back same time next week.
• Lunch   finished, I used the loo for one tinkle then plopped online and did my daily Bible readings. Unsure where the pen's gone?  Hopefully PIG mum'll bring one back~
• Once I've used up the most important hours of the day, I'll use the loo for one tinkle then sit @ the gobbling :P table for arvo  tea; hopefully dad remembers to gimme some rice!
• Jacinta's taking me to Toastmasters tonight! An UnHappy Meal with an orange juice for dinner. *sigh*
• Toms:  Presuming PIG mum'll help me up and take me grocery shopping somewhere before coming home for lunch with dearest dad.
• Jane's coming @ 1:30pm and taking me to table tennis! Must remember to ask PIG mum will she make a birthday cake for me tonight/next week.
• Only I can't attend GG neither toms night nor next Wednesday; PIG mum's decided dad's too   tired to drive me and I can't source a ride but Pastor Peter Pie says don't join through Zoom?
• Oh, but I'll haveta  create GCCW homework!
• Anyways, hope everyone's had a smashing start to their week!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 615c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3620. Ha, I'm over 3.5 grand.  XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I started composing the Facebook post about my upcoming MRI next Monday and sharing Facebook memories.
• 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: Peggy's coming @ 9:30am and taking me to Breathe for physio.
• Why I'm excited: PIG mum says we can go to the Baskin And Robbins @ Calamvale Central to get my free birthday ice cream!! <3
• Will haveta ask PIG mum may I return to Pinelands Bakehouse to buy my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi and buy groceries for her from Coles?
• After Peggy leaves, I've gotta read the daily Bible verses for tomorrow.
• Have just reminded PIG mum to please gimme some rice for arvo  tea toms; PIG mum can't since she's hitting the city to catchup with her friend who's visiting from HK! Will ask dad, then~
• Jacinta's taking me to Toastmasters toms night!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em.   ^^

Monday Post 615b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3416 (so hopefully I'll   have reached 3.5 grand before the night's out) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Remain In The Vine'. Righteo, continuing today's events?

• Breakfast is one/two (prolly one) dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the toilet, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles me off to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture.
• After using the loo for one tinkle, I lie down for treatment.  PIG mum's in her element yapping unceasingly @ Ray; my grateful thanks to him for always replying and keeping a conversation flowing. Today, she was excited enough to repeat one syllable five times before continuing. XD Me, I enjoyed the shoulder CPR the most~
• After another tinkle, PIG mum tootled me back to the Warrigal Square Woolies and we bought groceries before returning home to lunch with dearest dad.
• Lunch was only one slice of oven-baked pizza, but dad also fed me one spinach and feta pastry: delicious! PIG mum only had one slice before leaving for her aqua aerobics class since apparently, it's not good to go swimming on a full stomach? Once she left, dad and I held a group  Whatsapp video chat with his sisters!
• At 2pm, I excused myself, used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• PIG mum arrived home and shortly afterwards, Liam arrived to give Ela an OT session. He only comes once a month to check my progress; usually Ela does exercises with Ari and then I cook with Dorrie every other week.
• I thought Jacinta was minding me today but Jessyca from Staffing Options came instead! I sent a quick text to Jacinta asking her was she okay?
• Whoops outta time so just super-briefly:   showered, had arvo  tea, read for one hour, watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 46TH time (all the things I like recording are @ the bottom of the previous post), used loo for one tinkle, had dinner, drank soup, took bowl to kitchen and returned online.
• Used loo for one more tinkle when nature suddenly called @ 8:15pm.
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip @ 9pm   with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms else wishing everyone a smashing Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 615

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3089 steps (ha, I'm just over three grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Open The Windows Of Your Heart'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Keep Persevering And Refuse To Quit' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'True Basification In God' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and ONE MINUTE online after Liam comes and gives Ela a session of OT!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, what better way to begin 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*
• Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore. Have forgotten whether/not I woke again for the pot :P @ 7:45am but I definitely before 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 (well, she also lays out the tee for me, but that's it) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with  after giving myself fifteen more minutes first. That done, I call PIG mum to please finish with Elf's AFO straps and both laces; it's already 9:40am and I don't wanna be back inside my room for more sleep before twelve hours have passed!
• PIG mum eventually comes back and not only 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. Oh, she clips my toenails this morning, despite my protest that it's already late! In the end? I don't exit the room till 9:50. *sigh* That's alright; will just sit over the loo for longer tonight before entering my room.  XD
• 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.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's, read by Melissa Downes and Joel Dry) for the 46TH time: Millward, Geran, Crisafulli, Boekel, Croucher, de Winter (heard), Hegseth, Mimi (first name), Becker, King, Bowen, Thistlethwaite, Trump, Rihanna (first name), Thompson (heard), Cavallaro, Sanderson (heard), O'Dempsey (heard), Gilbert (heard), Watson (heard), Plath (hheard), Karapani, Pezet (heard), Tudhope, Epstein, Opetaia, Andrews, Gardiner (heard), Bailey (heard), Corrine (first name), Camm, D'Alessandro, Carpenter, Hesam (first name), Pleban, Tomasi, Jakob (first name), Funk, Pritchard (heard), Janine (first name), Dixon, O'Carrigan, Francis, Griffin, Kniese, Leaney and Youngberry.

Sunday Post 615d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3889. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After drying the toilet seat I sat for one tinkle, stamped both feet dry, dried inside both ears, washed and dried Era then walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

•  Did my weekly file backup then happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 45TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of today's second post.

• Sat over the loo for two more tinkles once the news ended before climbing back into Cherry. Thanks to PIG mum who kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt both ways since I've got seriously sh*tty  side vision, amongst other things. ><  *sigh*

• Another dinner @ Ho Lin Wah, another frugal feed. *sigh* I had less than one bowl of the A set meal (stir fried Hokkien noodles with chicken), less than half a bowl of the omelette with rice and again less than half a bowl of the soupy thin ho fan with   cuttlefish balls. Drank one cup of Chinese tea, half the set soup and just over one mouthful of the hot HK-style milk tea. Have I said yet? My first week of birthday MONTH celebrations have a total disappointment since I've not had a proper meal out since JANUARY. *sigh*

• Back home, 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 slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle 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 got a late morning appointment to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage.  Bet she's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him; me, I just hope the rain holds off!
• Also hope PIG mum remembers to take me grocery shopping and aisle walking before we come home for lunch with dearest dad else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
• Hopefully Michelle's replied to the email I sent her yesterday/the day before and filled in the TBAs for my roster this week else I'll  haveta ring her and ask toms arvo.
• Also hoping to read for another hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 46TH time!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 615c

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3787 (so yay I'm over 3.5   grand but sorry I'll not reach four grand before the night ends XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Gentleness'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• Then I took a nice warm shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also only softly, slowly but most hatefully sang my short second-favourite song out aloud five times since I   didn't wanna miss the 6pm news bulletin!
• I had one tinkle before I   flipped the nice warm water off; since she'll not even dry my back for me anymore once 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.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 615b

 Heylo  again  and potentially one final greeting for today! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3137. Ha, I'm over three grand.   XD  Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• Since I'd reached my PISSY two-hour net time limit while I was about halfway through my Facebook memories, after I used the loo for one tinkle I sat @ the gobbling :P table and finished sharing them before continuing to read Matthew Reilly's Scarecrow And The Army Of Thieves:  I've nearly finished it!
• After reading for twenty-five minutes, I called upstairs to PIG mum asking can you please gimme some arvo tea yet? I wanna shower before watching the 6pm news!
• It takes her another five minutes to tumble downstairs, toss me a banana, pour me one mug of green   tea and pass me one plain cracker meaning I've read for thirty minutes today~ Oh, today I reached pg.   275 @ 4:53pm
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's, read by Mia Glover) for 45TH time: Mimi (first name), Becker, Trump, Shay (first name), Shalom, Croucher, Layton (first name), Free, Wong, Howard (heard), Butler, Trump, Jiselle (first name), Manning, Conway, Mitchell, Seeto, Palise, Simpson, Swansbotough, Geran, Rowe, Baden (first name), Swinburne, Holton, Gilbert, Zahos, Hartwig and Youngberry, Scott, McCabe, Johnston, Auld, Todhunter, Russell, Antonelli (heard),  LeClerc (heard), Norris, Kniese, McCluccage, Bailey, Lyons, Salisbury, Gardiner, Healy, Tudhope, Kostecki, Feeney (heard), Andrews, Farnworth, Gilbert (heard), Fifita (heard), Selwyn (first  name),  Vobbo, Jakob (first  name), Funk Flegler, Thomas, Zahos (heard), Heagney, Carney, Epstein (heard), Kiss, Mountbatten-Windsor (heard), Lambe, Russell, Piastri and Youngberry.

Sunday Post 615

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2655 steps (ha, I'm over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'How Can I Be Filled With The Spirit?'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'When Your Mate Struggles With Insincerity' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional   topic's "God's Loving Deeds". Anyways, events for today?

• Nature called once last night around 12:45am; after another pot :P trip around 6:15am I immediately tried falling back asleep since I knew PIG mum would come disturb me less than one hour later!
• Cool, I managed to fall back asleep so deeply with Mini Pearl that I slept through PIG mum's noisy daily a-THUMPING around and didn't wake until she let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap! You'd think she'd help with the tee too now that Autumn's arrived and it's only gonna  get colder but no, she only spreads the tee open for me then leaves me to struggle into it. *sigh*
• After giving myself fifteen more minutes and using the pot :P once more first, I get myself mostly independently kitted. I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• PIG mum returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both shoelaces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth but thanks to her who brought my electric toothbrush back for me; I'd totally forgotten to last night! XD
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P   table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Breakfast's one dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully very 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, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the toilet, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of Cherry and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles us off to church and parks outside the service hall. I hike up the ramp, use the disabled loo once myself, wash and dry Era then grab my usual spot @ ESS.   PIG mum bolts back upstairs for the Canto service @ 8:50am.
• Service starts one minute late today, Bernard's chairing and score I get to stay seated for worship! 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 with another sermon from his Joshua series and service   ended twenty-four minutes early today.
• After PIG mum came for me, I used the loo for another tinkle then headed around the back for arvo tea (one packet of Arnott's bikkies and one milky but sugarless tea). Uncle Stephen wandered over saying we'd not see him for lunch @ Hungry Jack's today, since he's got leftovers @ home waiting for him.
• Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Everyone else had Malaysian food today but I was stuck with Hungry Jack's with   dad again and only had nine chips, not even   ten! Had a Whopper Junior, a small orange juice and some disgusting free coffee.
• Got home, used loo for one tinkle and plopped online.
• Toms:  presuming I'm seeing Ray for some massage and acupuncture then going grocery shopping with PIG mum before returning home for lunch with dearest dad. If not, expect a super-pissy  plodding total from me.
• Hopefully Michelle emails through this week's TBAs for me, else I'll haveta ring and ask after getting home and find out who's minding me from 4-6pm.
• Hoping to watch the 6pm news for   the 46TH time, provided I can watch it for the 45TH time tonight!'
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 613c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for Saturday! Em's final, final plodding total for tonight now stands @ 3925. Sorry, not quite four grand; maybe toms! XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• 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.
• Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Had lunch, drank two more cups of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey then went and played table tennis with dad @ church!
• Came home and read all afternoon; it's only Saturdays that I can spend a blessed three hours with my nose buried in a book~
• Plopped online and did my daily Bible reading so missed out on the chance to watch the 6pm news - not that I wanted to; the Broncos lost SO badly last night!! *cringe* >< XD
• Used loo for one tinkle, had the usual dinner, drank soup, took bowl to sink, returned online and used loo once more @ 9pm.
• Toms:  just church, nothing special. Looking forward to   our once-weekly family dinner out; I've not enjoyed a proper meal out yet this month yet though. *sigh*
• Anyways, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 613b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total   for tonight now stands @ 3847 (so  prolly won't quite reach four grand before the night's out, sorry XD and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'To Whom God Entrusts Hardships' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE MINUTE online after I visit the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, continuing Saturday's events?

• Once PIG mum lets Sharon inside @ 9:45am and she knocks, opens the door and bids me good morning, I   get up immediately. After using the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That down, I drink one full cup of water before sitting over the loo. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Sharon.  Breakfast is my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with some avocado, another full cup of water, all my usual drugs :P and my first mug of white tea sweetened with two   sugars.  Over and after breakfast I happily read Wallaby Stew for thirty minutes, reaching page 100    @ exactly 10:40am!
• After Sharon slathered sunscreen over my face and both arms, she washed up the breakfast stuff and closed and locked windows while I used the loo for one more tinkle and washed and dried Era.
• Thanks to Sharon who kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt all day. She tootled us off to Underwood MarketPlace,   parked underground and grabbed a trolley for us.
• First, we bought a jug of milk from   Woolies (greeted Hambo with my Swahili - thanks, lion and Sharon taught me how to say I'm hungry but I've already forgotten it XD Hambo also slipped me a free   LEGO pack) then bought my honey chicken sushi   from The Sushi Creators (the Chinese worker from last week remembered me!  She gabbed this long stream of Chinese @ me; I apologised and replied (in Chinese) I'm sorry I don't know what you're saying, you're speaking too fast!" She roared with laughter then repeated slowly:  what are you doing today? XD
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^
