Monday Post 328b

 Heylo again, good afternoon and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I get to post before midday. XD Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding only 960 steps (so promise I'll have passed 1000 next XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Gain Of Serving God'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'P.R.A.Y (Pause, Reverence, Ask, Yield)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Generous Giving' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-NINE MINUTES online after Jacinta minds me from 2-6pm and I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 107TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Nature called once around 12:45am; 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*
  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, nature calling once more around 9am, shortly before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's  let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and laying out the tee before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into the tee then giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
  • That done,  I sit up, bang the wall and call PIG mum to please finish with Elf's AFO straps and both shoelaces; it's already just past 9:45am and since my bedtime's 9:45pm it's possible I'll be back inside my room for another night's sleep before twelve hours have passed and I'll feel that I've wasted the  entire day! *sigh* Still, PIG mum takes her time about it, meaning I don't let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth till just after 9:50am. *sigh*
  • Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • PIG mum saved me the last slice of chocolate cake; CAKE for BREAKFAST CAN'T BE WRONG!! :D I also op all my usual drugs :P and drink 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*
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

  • 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 ceaselessly @ him. XD Me, I'm just looking forward to wearing the new thin blue beanie she bought for me!

  • Once the news ended, I used the loo for one more tinkle then climbed into the backseat of Chery. Thanks to PIG mum who kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt both ways this time, since I've got seriously sh*tty night vision.
  • Another dinner @ Ho Lin Wah. Yesterday already marked ONE WEEK since I last enjoyed a proper meal out; I may haveta wait until the VERY END of June (the 30th) before enjoying another proper meal out (Toastmasters changeover function)! *sigh*
  • Dinner tonight: nearly (but not quite) one bowl of yummy thousand-year egg and pork congee, nearly (but not quite one bowl of stir fry beef ho fan and about one bowl of the set 'A' meal, some kinda fried rice. I also drank one cup of Chinese tea, half the set soup and just over one mouthful of the HK-style hot milk tea.
  • Back home, I walk myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • PIG mum's popped me one Panadol and oone echinacea tablet since my idiot head's throbbing slightly, always the right side. *sigh*
  • Anyways, hopefully brb after one final loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total foor today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!

Sunday Post 328b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 1571 (ha, I'm just over 1.5 grand XD) but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after I get home from dinner tonight!! Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

  • At 1:55pm I asked PIG mum please to turn the TV on for me; I'd use the loo for one tinkle then crash on the sofa to watch the game live!
  • Only she couldn't find it? Oh, they were broadcasting the LATER Sunday game, not the earlier one! Doesn't matter; ABC Radio would have live commentary!
  • *cringe*  The Broncos are the REIGNING PREMIERS whereas the Dragons are WINLESS thus far into the season, but we *still lost*! ><"
  • Once the match ended, I headed over to the gobbling :P table and asked PIG mum please for some arvo tea.
  • She cut me some pear, passed me one plain cracker and poured me this disgusting mug of herbal tea! ><" Bags I do not drink it again ... XD
  • Originally, I'd planned to read for one hour, but when PIG mum suggested shower around 4:30pm I complied.
  • So a nice hot shower for me - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud. Actually, I was all done after only 10% but happily leaned fully against the right-side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling PIG mum back.
  • After she dried the back of the chair for me, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until the bra strap needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
  • After drying the loo seat I sit for one tinkle, stamp both feet dry, dry inside both ears, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl later tonight, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!

  • Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Sunday Post 328

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1345 steps; secondly, Joohn Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Something To Boast About'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Today, God's 'With You'" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Extending God's Care" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY MINUTES online after I watch the Broncos play this arvo!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Grr, nature called this morning around 1:50am and ruined my twelve-day awesome sleep streak! >< Never mind, 'twas still a sound sleep apart from that~ *sigh*
  • After the first daylight pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • Happiness was fully falling back asleep before PIG mum woke me when she let herself into my room and hit me with the eye goo. She also helped me exceedingly slightly with nothing bar the bra strap plus laid out my tee and bra for me before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling in6o the tops and giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
  • PIG mum returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Breakfast is one bowl of plain porridge, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
    Cheers,
  • 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 (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles  us off to church, parks near the end (about seven deep) and walks behind me while I hike up the ramp, use the second cubicle of the normal  female toilets (since both the disabled toilet and the first cubicle of the normal ladies loo have closed lids but obviously horrid PIG mum won't lift them for me), wash and dry both hands then grab my usual spot for service @ the most left. PIG mum heads back upstairs for the Canto service.
  • Yay I get to stay seated for worship this morning. I sing everything, plus the harmony for four songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh* 
  • Speaker today's Dr. Lee with a sermon from the Apostles Creed series. Lol, he had a friend who brought him a STRAWBERRY cake for his birthday one year; Dr. Lee was so disgusted he THREW IT OUT!! XD
  • Service ended eighteen minutes early, both parents came and collected me; I used the disabled loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era and then hiked around to the back for morning tea, where dad already had a packet of Arnott's bikkies and a cup of sugarless white tea waiting for me.
  • Mostly I was just happy that some random aunty offered me one little packet of cheese and onion chips; of course, I said yes! Unfortunately, horrid PIG mum immediately roused @ the kind aunty, meaning I can't expect any more from her. *sigh* But I'm blameless in this case: I didn't ask for anything; the chips were offered! XD
  • Today everybody else had lunch @ Mum's Wok but dad made me eat Hungry Jack's with him again while PIG mum enjoyed her weekly gossip and coffee social with the other church aunties. *sigh* Dad's mate Uncle Stephen sat opposite us and they chatted; for lunch I had one cheeseburger, one chicken nugget, twelve chips, 1/3 the orange juice and a few bites of the mini-Drumstick since I shook a mini-Stunner deal with the Hungry Jack's app.
  • Dad tootled us home, not letting me open the Vhery's sunroof even though it wasn't raining, but hey.
  • Back home, I 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.
  • Was gonna use the loo @ 1:55pm then head over to the couch and watch the Broncos play St. George @ 2pm but turns out Nine's not airing it! Meaning I'm just listening to the commentary through ABC Radio. 2nd half's just started but the Broncos are losing 14-2! o_O
  • Presuming we'll have our once-weekly family dinner out @ Ho Lin Wah again. Yesterday already marked one whole WEEK I last enjoyed a proper meal out; fingers crossed for another one sometime this week!
  • Toms: PIG mum'll help me up, since I've got a late morning appointment to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him. XD
  • Oh, and Winter arrives toms! ><" XD
  • Presume we'll buy groceries before coming home for lunch with dearest dad.
  • Think Jacinta's taking me to Breathe for physio @ 2pm. Oh, then PIG mum'll prolly leave the shopping for afterwards.
  • Jacinta will see me home and showered before leaving @ 6pm; I'm looking forward too watching the 6pm news for the 106TH time!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 328c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2694. Lol, I thought it took me like eighty steps for a round trip to the bathroom and back but tonight I took only forty steps? Well, I suppose walking with bigger steps are better ... anyways, final, final events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post, I read and shared Facebook memories.
  • At 9pm I rang Aunty Lai and chatted with her for 6:47.
  • Phone call done, I walked myself slowly and safely once more to the loo for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. Would love lunch out with other ESS peers toms, especially since tonight marks ONE WEEK since I last enjoyed a proper meal out but will haveta have a bite with dad @ the Rochedale Hungry Jack's while mother enjoys her weekly gossip and coffee session with the other aunties. *sigh*
  • The Broncos are playing the Dragons @ 2pm! Will ask PIG mum to please turn the television on for me after she gets home from her coffee and gossip session with the other church aunties since for some reason Nine Now's stopped working?
  • Anyways, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 328b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2646 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Down This Hard Path'. Righteo, continuing today's events?

  • Over and after breakfast I happily read for thirty minutes, reaching pg. 375 @ 10:31am.
  • After Jacinta spread sunscreen over my face and both hands, she walked behind me back to the loo then return to the dining room to close and lock windows.
  • After sitting over the loo for one tinkle I washed and dried Era then climbed into the passenger seat of Jacinta's car. She kindly helped me with my seatbelt (as she kindly did all day) then tootled us off to Underwood Marketplace, parking beside the ramp out the front and grabbing a trolley for us.
  • First, we both bought groceries from Woolies then we both bought sushi, me for arvo tea and her for lunch.
  • Back home, I take a nice hot shower - 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, lunch is one bowl of rice leftovers, two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey and thanks to Jacinta who tore me little pieces of her yummy fried chicken! I continued reading, reaching pg. 400 @ 12:22pm and FINISHING THE BOOK @ 12:26pm! Huge thanks to Jane who'd grabbed me a new book to read yesterday; this one's set after WWI and about wives searching for missing husbands!
  • After PIG mum returned home I sat over the loo for two more tinkles then Jacinta drove me to church to play table tennis with dearest dad, taking me once more to the loo since there was still time. Like I'd told her he would, the moment I entered the room dad demanded I take off the puffer jacket PIG mum had put on me before I'd left with Jacinta. XD
  • But dad lemme win in straight sets today; he even lemme win the set that he wanted to win to save face! As usual, I copped several body shots but that doesn't matter since it's nearly Winter, I'm wearing more layers and can barely feel the body shots. XD
  • Even better, dad lemme talk to Cherry during the drive home and lemme instruct him to open the sunroof! After closing the sunroof, you've gotta then instruct Chery to close the sunroof shade too, else sunlight still peeps in.
  • Back home, I used the loo for one more tinkle, wash and dry Era then happily read the new book until 4:23pm, since it's only Saturdays that I can spend a blessed three hours reading~ This arvo, I paused for a loo trip @ 3:39pm and reached page fifty @ exactly 4:05pm
  • Whoops only two minutes left, so super-briefly:
  • Did another stinky unspeakable, watched the news, had dinner, drank soup and returned online.
  • Hopefully bbl!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 328

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2534 steps (ha, I('m just over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'When God Goes Against His Will'; thirdly, TWFTT topic's 'Ask God For A  Dream' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Imitating God's Forgiveness" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWELVE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 105TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • #Woo hoo,  12TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 7am and after one pot :P trip

    I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*

  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, nature not calling again till about 9am. Shortly after the second pot :P trip, noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs and it's not long before she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before returning outside and awaiting Jacinta's arrival @ 9:30am. While waiting for 9:30's arrival, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*

  • When Jacinta hasn't appeared by 9:31am she immediately comes back inside saying she's late; fifteen more minutes but I reply I'm sure she'll show up but I'll start counting down from 900 now.

  • Sure enough, she turned up!  900 seconds later, I swung myself over to the pot :P and announced to Jacinta that I was hungry. She came immediately, explaining that she was away for Toastmasters since her boyfriend fell off his scooter, broke his toe and had an overnight stay in hospital, ouch! o_O

  • After one tinkle we got me kitted and then I headed over to the bathroom and brushed teeth. Then I drank one full mug of water before sitting over the loo proper. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

Anyways, events for today?

  • Woo hoo, 11TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:00am 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 for another hour, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am, shortly before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor Elf's ankle a very brief rub, since she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night. That's alright, Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes last night and let her wear her sock to sleep but obviously peeled the sock off first thing this morning! XD
  • After PIG mum lets Jane inside @ 9:30am, Jane knocks, opens the door and called "Good morning, Em; fifteen more minutes." Remembering he's not got time for both a paw nod and a shoo, Daddy Bear just imperiously flicks his paw @ Jane, who smirks and wisely leaves. XD
  • When Jane comes back and taps me up, I use the pot :P once more for three tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth before sitting 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 this morning.
  • Me, I get one bowl of plain porridge, one slice of dry (unbuttered) bread 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* Also thanks to Jane who turned Sunrise on for my viewing pleasure~
  • After breakfast I ask Jane to please gimme (face and both hands) some sunscreen, and then she walks behind 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 Sarah (Jane's car's license plate reads SAZ). She kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt then tootles me off to the NAB for physio with Adam. Traffic's smooth today, meaning we've arrived @ 9:40am, hence I get ten minutes to play phone games before going up~
  • Physio today: Three rounds of standing boxing with left and forward weightshift,  beanbag grasping and throwing for Ela with left thigh clenching and more left and forward weightshift and learning, four laps long hallway walking and my first hike around the Great Court in 2026! Jem timed me: walking @ a comfortable pace, that walk took me forty minutes. And to think that two DECADES ago, I freely walked around the Great Court studying law. >< *sigh*

  • PIG mum got dearest dad to start dinner without me again. *sigh* The news finished I called may I please join?

Thursday Post 328

 Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday actually stands @ 2422 (sorry, not quite 2.5 grand and eep, the Maroons lost the opening Origin match last night! >< XD); secondly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1513 steps (ha, I'm just over 1.5 grand XD); thirdly, Joni's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Silent Before You'; fourthly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Authentic Vs. Phony Faith'; fifthly, TWFT topic's 'Try Fasting' and sixthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "It Was Me." Anyways, events for today?

  • Woo hoo, 16TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:50am and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P around one hour later, shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor Elf a very brief rub, since she'd totally neglected my poor foot last night.  That's alright; Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes and let her wear her sock to sleep last night but obviously peeled it off first thing this morning! XD
  • After PIG mum lets Louiza inside @ 8am, Louiza knocks, opens the door and says good morning, Em. When Daddy Bear flops a paw @ her, she adds I'll help you up in fifteen more minutes, okay? Daddy Bear gives one paw nod then imperiously flicks his paw 'shoo!'  @ her; Louiza smirks but wisely closes the door and leaves us be, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
  • When Louiza comes back and taps me, I sit up, use the pot :P for three more tinkles and then 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 then head out to the gobbling :P table with Louiza, who says that she had two fried eggs for breakfast this morning, the lucky thing!
  • Me, I only get one bowl of plain porridge, all my usual drugs :P and one tall cup of water, but thanks to Louiza who turned on Sunrise for my viewing pleasure. 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 gimme some sunscreen and then she walks behind 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 Louiza's car and she tootles me off to GCCW! Thanks to Louiza who kindly helps me with my seatbelt both ways.

  • Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly: 

  • Didn't discuss homework today; just discussed poor Ken~ Tammy helped me once to the bathroom for morning tea and we had cakes plus healthy sandwiches for refreshments plus I drank THREE small cups of white tea with two teaspoonfuls of sugar!

  • Meeting ended twenty-five/thirty-five minutes early today, hence why I rang Louiza for pickup.

  • Got home and took a nice hot 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 yummy, toasted tuna and cheese sandwich cut into two rectangles and one huge mug of powdered HK-style milk tea.

  • Signed Louiza off with my thanks and byes @ 1pm. She's back 9:30am next Thursday~

  • Took cup to sink, used loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era then plopped online and did my daily Bible readings.

  • Once I've used up the most important two hours of the day I'll use the loo for one table then sit and ask PIG mum for some arvo tea. Won't have time to read for one hour since I'm hoping to watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 103RD time!

  • Tonight's ice cream night, yay! Like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all!

  • Toms: Jane's minding me from 8am till 2pm and taking me for two hours of physio @ the NAB with Adam.

  • After she sees me home, showered, fed with lunch and leaves, Christina's giving Ela one hour of unfunctional exercises. Hoping to read for one hour after she leaves then watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 104TH time!

  • Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 327d

 One final greeting and good evening for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ exactly 2000. Nice number, eh? XD Actually, Wally said only 1990 but the number pissed me off enough to get up, walk ten steps around the computer armchair and sit back down again. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post, I completed the first draft of my GCCW homework and started editing it for circulation!
  • 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: hope PIG mum helps me up not too late and takes me walkies somewhere else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me, since I'm using Sparkless3 to go to table tennis with Jane and I'm watching Origin One toms night! GO THE MIGHTY MAROONS!!!

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 1971(so will have reached 2000 steps before tonight ends, sweet XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'A Great Cloud Of Witnesses'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

  • When PIG mum summoned me for dinner @ 7:19pm, I used the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era 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.
  • Entree was one little corn cobette skewered through a chopstick then dinner was rice, lotsa broccoli, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup tomato and like two chunks of tasty pork. Disappointed since the parents refused to lemme buy an UnHappy meal for lunch toms for lunch and make up for the one I'm missing out tonight since I'm not attending Toastmasters.  :o( *sigh*
  • 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 day toms!

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final good evening for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 1875. Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

  • After I'd used up the most important two hours of the day online, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat @ the gobbling :P table to wait for PIG mum to gimme my rice for arvo tea and wait for CODA to ring and lemme know who's taking me to Toastmasters tonight!
  • Instead, On-Call rang and said nobody was coming! >< I immediately messaged our YA group chat and tended our (mine and Jacinta's) apologies.
  • Dad tossed me one yummy banana to peel and eat; when PIG mum came down, she also passed me one plain cracker and one huge mug of herbal tea.
  • After taking the cup over to the sink 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.

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1759 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "God's Design In Detours"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Touch Of His Hand' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Acting With Integrity'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Woo hoo, 15TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't  call  until 7:45am, 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 around 9am, shortly before PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before returning outside and awaiting Peggy's arrival @ 9:30am.
  • After PIG mum lets Peggy inside, Peggy knocks, pushes open the door and announces good morning. When Daddy Bear flops his paw @ her in response, she next states fifteen more minutes. Daddy   Bear gives one paw nod then imperiously flicks his paw 'shoo'! @ her; Peggy smirks but wisely obeys, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
  • Once I've counted down 900 seconds, I swing myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle and announce "Peggy, I'm hungry ..." Peggy's just next door inside the bathroom and comes over immediately. We get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth; thanks to Peggy who's already squirted some toothpaste for me. Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P   table with Peggy, who tells me that she had her usual two fried eggs for breakfast this morning.
  • Me, I only get one bowl of plain porridge, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water for breakfast. When I Peggy for toast too, please, she says she'll prepare one for me when I'm in the bathroom after breakfast, score!  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, Peggy covers my face plus both hands with sunscreen then follows me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast dishes up. Over the loo, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
  • After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Auto2/Tenor and Peggy tootles us   off to Pinelands Plaza.
  • After parking, Peggy grabs a trolley and we both buy groceries. I like shopping with the carers more than the parents since they lemme sit on the self-serve checkout while they're scanning our items and today Vicki came and said hello~ She's a Queenslander too and I said when I come next week, we can celebrate the Maroons winning Origin One! XD
  • Our other stop's the Pinelands Bakehouse, where I buy my crunchy pork salad roll from Aunty Nancy~
  • Back home, I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was my delicious crunchy pork bahn mi toasted plus one mug of delicious white tea sweetened with one spoonful of molasses.
  • After PIG mum returned home, I signed Peggy off with my thanks and byes @ 2pm. She's back same time next week.
  • Lunch finished, I take the cup over to the sink, use the loo for one more tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Thanks to PIG mum who's promised me some rice for arvo tea, since I had a bahn mi for lunch and will be getting an Unhappy Meal for dinner with an orange juice but I've not had any rice today yet!
  • Eep CODA just rang and Jacinta's pulled out late again; I mightn't get to attend Toastmasters tonight! ><
  • Toms: playing table tennis in the arvo and Peter Pie's giving me a lift  to GG @ night but it's ORIGIN ONE toms night; GO THE MIGHTY MAROONS!!! :D

Monday Post 327f

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3245. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post, I started reading and sharing today's Facebook memories.
  • At 9pm I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Toms:  Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm. PIG mum said we'll just buy groceries from Coles Pinelands and get my bahn mi for lunch; unsure why she's not   sending us for walkies @ Underwood Park? Prolly coz I'm still waiting for my new AFO~ Will chase Peter about it toms arvo but apparently it takes @ least three weeks to make?
  • Jacinta's down to take me to Toastmasters toms night; will drop an email to Michelle since she couldn't mind me today.
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Monday Post 327e

 Good evening again! Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3118. Anyways, continuing today's events?

  • 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.
  • Unsure why PIG mum only gave me one bowl of plain porridge for breakfast and not one slice of toast since I had physio later that day? I also pop all my usual drugs :P and drink one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh* Actually, I feel ripped off: how come PIG mum didn't gimme a slice of toast too since I had physio later??
  • 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 climbed into the backseat of the Cherry and dearest dad tootled me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage with PIG mum sitting beside him. Sweet, dad parks up right front by the gate~
  •   Today I not only get acupuncture and massage from Ray, but I also even get a free ice cream since he drew BLOOD with one needle! o_O Relax, 'twas just a drop but our deal's Ray gets me ice cream should he draw blood   and today   he got me a RAINBOW Golden Gaytime! I never used to eat them coz I thought they contained nuts but recently found out that they were just biscuit crumbs and was delighted to discover they even come rainbow-coloured!  Dad demanded some and I very reluctantly passed my ice cream, but when he opened his mouth wide to take a huge bite, I screeched only a nibble! Lol, dad was so offended he passed it back to me without touching it. No problem, I just wolfed it all down before he could change his mind.   XD
  • Back home I read the day's Bible passages then plopped online before being summoned over for lunch, a tuna toastie with one slice of cheese and one huge mug of Chinese tea.
  • Less than fifteen minutes left, so just briefly:
  • Breathe physio with Winnie: extensions for Elf, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing!1.645km bike ride, forty bar-assisted push-ups with left weight shift, forty steps for Erf with left weight shift, forty steps for Erf, forty v-bar cable rows for both hands, forty leg extensions for Elf, forty leg curls for Elf, forty leg extensions for Erf, forty leg extensions for Elf, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing!
  • Bought groceries with Lucy (she's only nineteen and I was her first ever shift today!) then came home for a nice hot shower - hairwash  today. Also thanks to Lucy 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 yummy pear, one plain cracker and one huge mug of yucky herbal tea.  Happiness was reading The Two Lost Mountains for one hour; today I reached pg. 275 @ 5:39pm.
  • Watched the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 101ST time. All the things I like recording are in today's third post.
  • Summoned for dinner  @ 7:10pm, I used the loo  for one tinkle,   ate the  usual bland dinner, drank soup, took the bowl to  the fridge, returned online and used loo for one more tinkle @ 8:10pm.
  • Anyways, hopefully  bbl  after one last tinkle @ 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 Tuesdayy ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

    Monday Post 327c

     Good afternoon again! Take two: please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I get to post online before midday. XD Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding only 894 steps (but going to physio next and promise to have passed 1000 before Monday ends XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Bedrock Of Your Assurance'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Overcoming Workaholism' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Finding Rest' 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 (Seven's) for the 101ST time!! Anyways, events for today?

    • Woo hoo, 14TH consecutive awesome sleep last night; that's the 8th time this year I've scored one straight week of consecutive awesome sleeps! That was the number I first got when I started recording my awesome sleeps all the way back in 2008 and while I'm unsure will I ever again reach the amazing TWENTY-FIVE WEEKS I achieved back in 2019, 2020 and 2021 it's great that I've already reached my total from eighteen years ago! Nature didn't call until 7:30am  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 cuddled and snored, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am just before noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let her into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and laying out the tee before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
      Cheers,
      Em. ^^

    Sunday Post 327d

     One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 1827. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

    • When I   saw one slice of topped-up oven-baked pizza and one crunchy slice of garlic bread awaiting me, I immediately asked PIG mum would she please microwave some rice for me? See, I'm Chinese enough to need rice for @ least one meal during the day, else I'll fret ><" Thanks to PIG mum   who did~
    • Dinner was washed down with one cup of fruity tea; after taking the cup over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

    • 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: 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. XD
    • Will come home for lunch with dearest dad before Jacinta comes @ 2pm and takes me to Breathe for physio with Winnie. Presume we'll buy groceries before coming home for personal  care.
    • Hoping to read the Two Lost Mountains for one hour and watch the  6pm news for the 101ST time!
    • Righteo, wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
      Cheers,
      Em. ^^

    Sunday Post 327c

     Good evening again! Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 1776.  Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

    • 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.
    • Happily watched the 65pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the ONE HUNDREDTH time! All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of today's first post.
    • When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P   table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
      Cheers,
      Em.  ^^

    Sunday Post 327b

     Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 1674 (see? Told you I'd crack 1.5 grand! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'I AM The Resurrection And The Life'. Righteo,  potential  final, final events for tonight?

    • Once I'd used up the most important two hours of my day, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat @ the gobbling :P table first to finish reading and sharing my Facebook memories and then to read The Two Mountains for one hour. PIG mum had already left me some arvo tea before heading upstairs and hitting the sack: some fruit, one plain cracker and one huge mug of herbal tea.
    • After reading for one hour, I happily played match three games on my mobile until PIG mum tumbled down from  pigland and ordered me off to shower.
    • So a nice hot shower for me - I washed and rinsed my own hair today.  I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was all done after only 11% but happily leaned fully against the right-side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling PIG mum back.
    • After I tapped the nice hot water off and PIG mum dried the back of the chair for me, I did   everything else and she didn't feature again until Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
      Cheers,
      Em.  ^^

    Sunday Post 327

     Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1424 steps (so will hopefully have cracked 1.5 grand before the night ends XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Jesus Knows His Sheep'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "God's @ Work In You" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The  Answer God Provides".  Anyways, events for today?

      • Woo hoo, 13TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7am and after one pot :P trip I immediately tried falling asleep, since I knew PIG mum would get very noisy very soon!
      • Fifty-odd breaths into counting myself back asleep, noisy PIG mum goes THUMP, and I realise sleep's not gonna return this morning. Instead, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
      • When PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo, she notices that my monthlies have arrived. PIG mum helps me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and spreads out the tee for me, before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
      • PIG mum returns and finishes with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo   for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
      • Only thirty minutes left, so just super-briefly:
      • Eat breakfast, do a stinky unspeakable, attend ESS, have lunch with dad @ Hungry Jack's then come home.
      • Toms: PIG mum'll help me up, since I'm seeing Ray for some massage and acupuncture before coming home for lunch with dearest dad.
      • Jacinta's minding me from 2-6pm and taking me to Breathe for physio. We'll buy groceries afterwards then come home for aa shower. 
      • Fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the ONE HUNDREDTH time!
      • Anyways, hopefully bbl,  else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
        Cheers,
        Em. ^^

Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 1902.  Sorry, not quite 2000, maybe toms.  XD Actually, maybe not, since we're not going out for dinner toms night either.  *sigh* Anyways, just briefly, final, final events for tonight?

    • Had my once-weekly egg for breakfast plus my  first big mug of white   tea with   two sugars and then Jane tootled me off to Wynnum for the table tennis comp! I'm not  a fan of that place since it's got stairs but no lift.  *sigh*
    • Even wose, I lost all three of  my  singles matches in  straight sets! >< But the funniest thing  was our ref  Don   calling me a CON  ARTIST. XD
    • Luckily CJ and I saved face and placed third in the doubles, phew~
    • Gott  home, showered  and read for one hour before watching the  6pm  news (Seven's) for the 99TH time.

    • Got home, returned online  and used loo  for one more tinkle @ 9pm.
    • Toms:  just  church, nothing special. Unfortunately the whole  day's  not looking promising, what with lunch  @ HJ's  with dad and no  dinner out toms night but  hey. *sigh*
    • Anyways, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
      Cheers,

    Saturday Post 327b

     Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 1850 (so won't quite make 2000 before the night ends, sorry XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Way You Live Today' but thirdly and way most importantly, really still owed FIFTY-TWO MINUTES online while chatting with Aunty Lai! Meaning I'll leave the speaker on while I ring Aunty Lai @ 9pm and deduct that when I finish chatting with her. Righteo, continuing today's events?

    • 900 seconds later I sit up, announce to Jane that I'm hungry and swing myself 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 before sitting 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. ^^

    Saturday Post 327

     Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1468 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Jesus Knows His Sheep'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "He's The God Of New Beginnings" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Freedom In Christ' butt fifthly and way most importantly, I'm  really still owed ONE HOUR and FOURTEEN MINUTES online after I  watch  the 6pm news (Seven's) for the 99TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

    • Yay, 12TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:30am and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
    • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, nature calling again about one hour later. Shortly afterwards PIG mum begins her noisy daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before returning outside and awaiting Jane's arrival @ 8am.
    • After PIG mum lets Jane inside Jane knocks, pushes open the door and announces, "Good morning, Em; fifteen more minutes." Daddy Bear's got her measure now; he simply flicks his paw @ her imperiously, saying shoo! Jane prolly doesn't even see it though: she's already closed the door and left. XD
      Cheers,
      Em.  ^^
      P.S.

    Friday Post 327c

    One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 2629. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

    • After breakfast, Jane covers my face and both arms with sunscreen, walks behind me back to the loo then returns to the kitchen and washes the breakfast stuff up. Over the loo proper, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
    • Only thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
    • Physio with Adam: Three rounds of standing boxing with left and forward weightshift  lotsa stepping Erf with lotsa left weight shift, some stepping for Elf with not much right weightshift,  beanbag dropping for Ela with left and forward weightshift,  clenching left thihh muscle, two long walks outside down the ramp to the half basketball 🏀 court and four laps long hallway walking. Phew Singular Bee Gee received my e-mail this morning and has agreed she'll not contact PIG mum about the incident since I didn't hurt myself~
    • Got home, showered, had a tuna  toastie for lunch, did one hour of OT with Christina,  read The Two Lost Mountains for one hour, watched the  6pm news (Seven's)  for the 98TH time (All  the interesting surnames I saw  while  watching the  6pm news bulletin (Seven’s,  read by   Sarah Greenhalgh and  Max Futcher) for the 98TH time: Mountbatten-Windsor (heard),   Epstein (heard), Dal  (first  name), Babu, Mullen, Bryant, Blowers, Henry, Yalu, Mander, Crisafulli, Mander (heard), Dick,  Powell, Camm (heard), Marlina  (first name, heard),  Whop (heard), Hammond,  Lester, Hume, Albanese, Trump, Rubio (heard), Milton, Slater (heard), Phan, Valencia (heard),Kadak, Langbroek, Richards (heard),Adler, Foran, Nats (first name), Toohey,   Farnworth (heard),Costner, Gyllenhaal, Sacre, Fanning, Bechwati, Gateley, Levi, Arrow (heard),  Kostecki,  Payne, Feeney (heard),Hannay, Payten (heard),Herbie (first  name), Boss, Stuart, Wolff, Barrie, Creasy,  Thomas, Robson, Kroehn, Collins, Metcalf, Rayner, Thomson,Wightman,Fanning and  Dymock. Samantha Jolly read the finance report (1aud = 71.3USc), Rohan Welsh read the sports report and Laura Dymock read the weather report from Redbank Plains. Brisbane was 16-24 today.  Brisbane toms: 17-25. Sunrise: 6:06am Sunset 5:05pm), used the loo for one tinkle, had dinner, drank soup, took bowl to sink, returned online then used loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm.

    • Toms: PIG mum's  helping me up early  since  Jane's coming @ 8:15am and taking me  to the  2nd table tennis competition for 2026! Not  looking forward to having to hike the stairs but looking forward to enjoying  TWO slices of  Kim's chocolate  cake and fingers crossed PIG mum'll persuade dad to take us out to dinner toms night coz May the 23rd's my  Freedom Day; back in 2008 I  left BIRU screaming FREEDOM! hopefully forever!! :D
    • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
      Cheers,
      Em. ^^

    Friday Post 327b

     Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 2542 (see? Told you I'd crack 2.5 grand! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Strength For Today' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-SIX MINUTES online when I ring Aunty Lai @ 9pm!! Meaning I'll leave the speaker on when talking to her and continuing to surf the net; I'll use the loo for one more tinkle when I finish chatting with her and hopefully, I'll still get all two hours online~ Anyways, events for today?

    • Woo hoo,11TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until the noisy garbage truck THUNDERED down our road to tip  bins 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*
    • Can't remember did nature call again @ 7:45am but it definitely did just before 9am. After another pot :P trip, it's not long before noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around; soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and return out to await Jane's arrival @ 8am.
    • Once PIG mum lets Jane inside, Jane knocks, pushes open the door and calls "Good morning, Em; fifteen more minutes." Daddy Bear flops his paw in acknowledgement and just like that she's already closed the door and left, thus denying him the chance to flick his paw 'shoo' @ her! XD
    • When Jane comes back, I use the pot :P once more for three tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then 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/two dry (no  honey) Weet-Bix very  lightly sprinkled  with some Minus  :P   and 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*


    Friday Post 327

     Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2436 steps (so should have hit 2.5 grand before Friday ends); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'God Works For You'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Know Who You Are' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Seeking God's Face" but  fifthly    and way most importantly, I'm  really still  owed - bbl!

    Thursday Post 327f

     One final good evening and greeting for   tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2119. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

    • When the parents summoned me over for dinner around 7:15pm I noted down the time, used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely the gobbling  gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
    • PIG mum hit me with the eye goo @ 8:45pm and said get yourself to bed @ 9:45pm.  I protested but tonight's ice cream night! She replies tomorrow. Well, she'd better remember!! ><
    • Toms: Jane's coming @ 8am and taking me for two hours' physio @ the NAB with Adam before seeing me home, showered and fed with lunch before leaving @ 2pm.
    • Christina's coming to   give Ela one hour of unfunctional exercises after Jane leaves. Fingers crossed for bubble tea!! XD
    • Also fingers crossed I can read The Two Lost Mountains for one hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 98TH time!

    Thursday Post 327e

     Good evening again! Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2069 (see? Told you I'd crack two grand! XD). Anyways, continuing today's events?

    • Winnie walked with me to her front door and then Louiza walked with me back to the passenger seat of her car.
    • I gave the Sunny Park Woolies a third and final chance to have food freebies when we bought groceries but nope, he's not there. I've told PIG mum next time to save petrol I'll just buy from our local Woolies @ Warrigal Square.
    • Got home and took a nice hot shower -  hairwash today. Also thanks to Louiza who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
    • Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea's one plain cracker, one piece of fruit (pear, maybe?) and one huge mug of English breakfast tea sweetened with one big spoonful   of molasses. Tastes burnt. XD Happiness was getting to read for one hour; today I finished pg. 100 @ exactly 4:55pm, finished pg. 111 @ 5:16pm and found the book title @ pg. 115.
    • Sat over the loo for two tinkles @ 5:55pm then signed Louiza off with my thanks and byes @ 6pm; she's back next Thursday 8am and taking me too GCCW; I'd better compose homework!
    • Happily, watched the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 97TH time.  All the things I like recording are in today's third post.
    • Unsure why Louiza closed the loo lid before leaving but PIG mum chucked a cow and made me lift it, tip and clean the pot :P No fuss, I just marked down that I did it myself without fuss; I just recorded it down.
      Cheers,
      Em.   ^^
      P.S. Tee hee I've already managed FIVE posts! That doesn't usually happen Thursdays! XD

    Thursday Post 327d

     Good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 1959 (so trusting I'll have reached two grand before the night ends XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Strength For Today'. Righteo,  potential final, final events for today?

    • At 1:35pm I sat over the loo for two tinkles, then climbed into the backseat of the car and buckled my seatbelt. Dad tootled us to Breathe for physio; PIG mum followed me inside and explained to Winnie that she was taking dad to the hospital for some follow-up appointment, but that Louiza would come pick me up once physio ended.
    • Physio today: 1.656km bike ride, forty bar-assisted push-ups with left weight shift, forty steps for Erf with left weight shift, forty steps for Elf, forty v-bar cable rows, forty leg extensions for Elf, forty leg curls for Elf, forty leg extensions for Erf, forty leg curls for Erf and boxing!
    • Phew Louiza really  did come~ Winnie  walked with me to - bbl!

    Thursday post 327c

     Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ only 468 (but going out next) but secondly and way most importantly I'm really still owed FORTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after Louiza leaves and I watch the 6pm news for the 97TH time!! Anyways, continuing today's events?

    • 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 rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. After doing the day's Bible readings I plop online, reminding the parents to please summon me for lunch when it's ready.
    • When the parents summon me over for lunch, I note the time down then walk myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

    • Lunch is one bowl of rice leftovers and washed down with one huge mug of delicious Chinese tea. I show the parents that 4th uncle took with Uncle Cheesecake and his wife when they boarded the plane back to HK~
    • After taking the cup over to the loo I walk myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
    • Originally, I was gonna use the loo once more @ 1:25pm but CODA just rang saying Louiza's late only PIG mum's going with dearest dad to the P.A.   for his followup appointment so she's told me to go to the loo @ 1:35pm, they'll drive me to Breathe and then Louiza's gonna pick me up from there, buy groceries with me, see me home and showered then leaving @ 6pm?
    • Hoping to watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 97TH time!
    • Tonight's ice  cream night, yay; like I say every week, a very little's better than none @ all!
    • Toms: Jane's minding me from 8am till 2pm so she'll help me up, take me to the NAB for physio with Adam then see me home and showered before leaving @ 2pm.
    • Christina's coming and giving Ela one hour of unfunctional exercises after Jane leaves; planning to read for one hour after she leaves and munch arvo  tea.
    • Hoping to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 98TH time!
    • Anyways, hopefully bbl,  else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
      Cheers,
