Saturday Post 331

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1056 steps (ha, I'm just over one grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Suffering That Crushes Faith"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'What, Whose, Why, When?' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Better Country". Anyways, events for  today?

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature had already called once fractionally before midnight but after one pot :P   trip I snored happily until 7:45am before waking and relieving myself again.
• Following the first daylight pot :P trip I immediately did the exercises Winne taught me to prevent further back pain before 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; the  next time nature called after another pot :P  trip I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• Actually,  Daddy Bear wasn't in bed with me  last night! o_O  I couldn't  call upstairs for  PIG mum  to please find and give him back coz then she'd see Elf was still wearing her sock but Era tugged the sock off Elf first thing this morning. XD
• Around 9am PIG mum begins her daily noisy  a-THUMPING around upstairs, which wakes me for one final  pot :P trip. Soon, she's let herself into my room  to hit me with the eye goo. When Louiza hasn't arrived by 9:45pm sharp she enters my  room and snaps "Fifteen more minutes";  I immediately comply but reply I'm sure Louiza's just stuck in traffic;  when she arrives tell her to  help me up @ 9:45am.
• Sure enough, that's exactly what happens! Once I've counted down from 900, I swing myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle and announce that I'm hungry to Louiza. She's inside the bathroom @ that time and comes immediately; we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. After drinking one full mug of water, I  sit over the loo proper. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 
• After washing and drying Era, I head out to   the gobbling :P  table with Louiza. Breakfast's my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of  dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly  spread with    avocado,  another full mug of water,  all  my   usual drugs :P   and my   first big mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey.  After the parents leave for koala-viewing, I ask Louiza to please add a slice of cheese  to the toast but  obviously don't take another photo. XD Over and after breakfast I happily  read for thirty minutes first up, reaching pg. 150 @ 10:16pm.
• While Louiza closes and locks windows, I use the loo for one more tinkle. After climbing into the passenger seat of her car she tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace and parks around the side before grabbing a trolley for us.
• We buy groceries from Coles and then my honey chicken sushi roll from The Sushi Creators.  As we're nearing the store, the dude behind the counter looks up,  sees and recognises me and just holds up one finger? I reply with a thumbs up; once I  reach the counter he's already handing the packaged sushi  to Louiza saying "$4.60." Louiza asks me, when did you order?  I grin and mime back to her our silent conversation and she laughs. XD
• Back home I take a nice hot shower -  hairwash today. Also thanks to Louiza who helps me rinse out my  hair,  thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch  was two more big mugs of  white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey and the delicious air  fryer tofu I cooked yesterday  with   Ari plus rice and lotsa vegetables!
• At 12:55pm I sat over the loo for   two  more tinkles then  signed Louiza off with my thanks and byes;  she's back next Thursday 9:30am till like  1:30pm  and heading down to the Gold Coast tonight!
• Once I've used up  the most important two hours of my day I'll use the loo then sit and read for a good long while; it's only Saturdays that I  can spend a blessed three hours reading~
• Toms: just  church, nothing special. Oh, the special  thing's we're holding our own FIFA World Cup! Obviously I'm too disabled to play but   will join  the picnic lunch and Pastor Peter will gimme a lift there and drop me home afterwards~
• Righteo, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing Sunday  ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight!  Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ exactly 2500. Nice number,  eh? Actually, 'twas 2491 but the number pissed me  off so much I got up,   walked nine  steps around the chair and sack back down. XD Anyways, final, final  events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post I finished sharing my Facebook memories then had several minutes to happily play  Bejeweled.
• 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: Louiza's minding me from  9:30am till 1pm. PIG mum  says we'll buy my honey chicken sushi  roll from Underwood MarketPlace plus whatever groceries she wants from Woolworths before coming home for a shower and lunch (more air fryer tofu). Yay that Louiza's  already said she'll lemme drink one big mug oof white tea with sweetener for breakfast and two more for lunch~

Friday Post 331

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2387 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Suffering That Strengthens Faith'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Confidence-building  Scriptures'  and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "This Battle's God's" but fifthly  and way most importantly,  I'm really still owed THIRTY-SIX MINUTES online after I  watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 173RD time!! Anyways, events for today?

• What better way than to end the working week than with an  awesome sleep  last night? Nature didn't call until 7:45am and after using the pot :P for one tinkle I did the bed exercises that Winnie taught me to prevent  further back pain and then 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 for the pot :P once more 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 before returning outside and awaiting Louiza's arrival @ 9:30am but coming back and giving me fifteen more minutes when Louiza hasn't arrived @ the appointed time. I immediately start counting down from 900 and  remind PIG mum please ring CODA should Louiza not arrive by 9:40am but I'm sure she will so after she comes just tell her to help me up @ 9:45am. Sure enough, Louiza arrives very shortly afterwards~
• When Louiza bangs the door I've still got ninety seconds  left; she hears my indignant screech and wisely removes herself, thus saving her from the wrath of  the Bear Bum.  XD Ninety seconds later, I swing myself over to the pot for three more tinkles and announce that I'm hungry to Louiza who comes immediately. Sure enough, she was late since she was stuck along Logan Rd this morning.
• We get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth, then sit over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying  Era I head out to the gobbling :P table with Louiza.
• Breakfast is one slice of  dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully  very lightly  sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Thanks to Louiza for turned Sunrise on  for my viewing  pleasure, and 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 (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 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 passenger seat of Louiza's car and she tootles me off  to UQ for physio. Thanks to  her who kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt both ways.
• Making good time to UQ, we both sit and poke @ our smartphones for like ten minutes before heading up. After using the loo for one tinkle we both take a seat in the waiting room.
• Lol today I've a new physio student from Egypt but I've already forgotten his name! ^^"
• Physio today: Twenty Barefoot sit-to-stands with left and forward weight shift, ring stacking for Era with more forward and left weight shift, four laps short hallway walking, two laps long hallway walking and a hike around the great court! The coolest  thing   was that I bumped into   Mr. Jennings! The students and I are hiking along the Great Court when suddenly some tall fellow steps in front of me, saying "Hello,  Emily." I've got awful facial recognition  and it took me a few seconds to identify him, but  ... "Mr. Jennings?" It was! We hugged and I introduced my high school Japanese student to the  two physio  students.
• After using the loo for two more tinkles, Louiza tootled me home and I 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.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• When PIG mum summons me  to dinner @ 7:16pm I use 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.
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa icky bitter vegetable, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup carrot and three tiny slices of thin yummy pork.

Thursday Post 331

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1815 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's  "God's Plan For Martyrs; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Act   And React Like A Christian' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'New Life For Dead Hearts'. Anyways,  events for today?

• Phew that I achieved my 11TH week of consecutive  awesome sleeps yesterday coz nature immediately called last night/this morning and ended it! >< XD
• Following the first  daylight pot :P  trip I immediately did the two  exercises Winnie taught me to prevent further back  pain and then 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's noisy  daily  a-THUMPING around upstairs begins. 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 her last night. That's alright, Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes and let her wear her sock to sleep last night but obviously tugged the sock off first thing this morning! XD
• When the carer didn't arrive @ 9:45pm precisely,  PIG mum immediately gave me fifteen more minutes. I complied and reminded her to ring CODA @ 9:40am should the carer not have turned up. 
• Sure enough, I heard PIG mum ring CODA @ 9:40am; five minutes later she helps me up. Phew, the carer from Staffing Options arrives just before PIG mum sticks Elf's AFO on! It's been three months since I last saw Fay and her boy's doing grade one @ some private school now!
• I brush  teeth, use the loo for one tinkle then head out  to the gobbling :P table with Fay.
• Breakfast is 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*
• Breakfast finished, I ask Faye to please gimme some sunscreen (face and both hands) before she accompanies me back to the bathroom then returns to the kitchen and washes the breakfast dishes up. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Fay's car and she tootles me off to Underwood Park for my 8th hike around the lake this year!
• Today we see lotsa babies being pushed inside baby strollers, dogs and a Canto aunty even teaches me that water dragons are called 'sek yek' in Canto! Yup, Gimpy  came out for awhile~
• Back home, I took   a nice hot shower -  hairwash today. Also thanks to Fay  who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to  hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was a tuna in tomato and onion toastie with only one cheese and a packet of powdered HK-style milk tea. Fay cleans the bathroom and dad immediately  tries to send her away  but I protest isn't Faye meant  to stay until  2pm? Besides, she said she'd help me put on my puffer vest first! Lol, dad was so  eager to get rid of her early that he brought the vest out and helped me with it himself! XD
• When I said my thanks and byes to Fay I added cya November since she said I last saw her four  months ago and four months later it's November! XD
• Finished lunch, took cup  to sink, used loo for one tinkle, did my daily Bible readings and used loo for another tinkle before popping online for myself.
• At 5:45pm I'll ask PIG mum for a quick  bite of  arvo tea then I'll use the loo for one more tinkle before watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 172ND time!
• Best of all it's ice cream night  toms night; like I  say every week, a  very little's better than none @ all!
• Toms:  Louiza's coming @ like 8am and taking me for two  hours of physio  @ UQ with Vincente. She'll see me showered and fed with lunch before leaving @ 2pm.
• Then  Ari's coming and making some tofu dish with me;  PIG mum's prepping the tofu tonight! Hoping  to  read for one hour afterwards and watch the 6pm news for  the 173RD time~
• Anyways, hopefully bbl   tonight, else wishing everyone hope everyone has a smashing end to  their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final,  final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 1556. Anyways, final, final  events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post I continued reading and sharing my 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: Michelle didn't reply   the email I sent her this arvo asking her to find someone to mind me toms since Louiza's going for some medical;  presume we're hiking Underwood Lake for the  8th time?  Fingers crossed we can buy  groceries @ Coles Pinelands afterwards plus grab lunch  from Ho Lin Wah since toms will mark like TWO  WEEKS since I last enjoyed a proper meal out!
• Looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online, hoping to read for one hour plus watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 172ND time and fingers crossed dad'll   take us out for dinner toms night!

Wednesday Post 331c

 Good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly,  Em's  potential  final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 1444 (so  I'm trusting I'll  have reached 1.5  grand before the night's out XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Nowhere Else To  Go'  but thirdly  and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after dinner tonight!! Anyways, potential final, final events for tonight?

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

• After breakfast 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! 
  Cheers,

Wednesday Post 331b

 Heylo again, good afternoon and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I  get to post online before midday. XD Firstly, my final, final plodding total from last night was actually 1356 (not quite 2.5 grand, sorry XD) but unfortunately I was really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-SEVEN MINUTES  online when the parents ordered me off to bed, argh ><; secondly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1021 steps (ha, I'm just over one grand XD); thirdly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "Why  We Don't Lose Heart'; fourthly, TWFT topic's  'Healing In The New Testament' and fifthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Company We Keep' but  sixthly  and way most importantly, I'm really  still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after I get  home and watch the 6pm news bulletin Nine's) for the 171ST time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, awesome sleep last night;  that's the 11TH time this year I've achieved one straight week of  consecutive awesome sleeps! :D Nature didn't call until 8:00am, 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, PIG mum's daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs awaking me for another pot :P trip shortly after 9am. Soon, she's let herself into  my  room  to  hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap and laying out the tops before leaving me  to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into the tops then giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• That done, I immediately call PIG mum  back to please finish  with Elf's AFO straps and both shoelaces since it's nearly 9:45am;  since the parents demand I hit the sack @ 9:45pm should I  already be back inside my bedroom before twelve hours have passed I'll feel like I've wasted the whole day! >< Still, PIG mum  deliberately takes her time helping, meaning I don't leave the bedroom till nearly 9:50am. *sigh*
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^
• P.S All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's, read by Joel Dry and Melissa Downes) for the 171ST time: Probyn, Chalmers, Wilson, Holden, Trump (heard), Bullock (heard), Burrows, Jiselle (first name), Manning, Barrowcliffe, D'Alessandro, O'Connor, Collins, Dick, Last, Cripps (heard), Hanson, Rinehart, Leena (first name), Singh, Trump, Tomasi, Netanyahu (heard), Volodymyr (first name, heard), Zelenskyy (heard), Howe, Butterworth (heard), Oliver (heard), Farmer, Fennell , Langbroek, Sinclair, Kennedy, Eseme (heard), Torrie (first name), Lewis, Geran, Robinson, Pattinson, Southam, Hunter, Allen, Ha-teya, Gripske, Reynolds , Hunt (heard), Mariner, Zahos (heard), Deine (heard), Mikayla (first name), Sorby, Woolf, Nikorima (heard), Forrest ,Doueihi,  Munster, Chalmers (heard), Moore, Jak, Ward, Mitchell, Tibb, Cruz (first name), Court,  Hewitt, Morris, Ty (first name, heard), Lukhan (first name), de Minaur (heard), Marshall, Pengilly and Kohler.

Tuesday Post 330

 Placeholder post! But I enjoyed my 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night, saw Vicki at Pinelands Coles, had a crunchy pork bahn mi for lunch then went out to the NAB for two hours of physio. Had rice for afternoon tea and attended toastmasters with Catherine tonight! Got table tennis 🏓 tomorrow afternoon but can't attend GG at night; wonder will dad take me to church to play table tennis 🏓 again? Hope everyone has had a lovely start to the week ~

Cheers,

Monday Post 330e

 One final good evening  and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final  plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3940. Aww, sorry, not quite four  grand, maybe toms. XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• Over and after afternoon tea, I happily read for forty-five minutes, finishing pg. 100 @ 5:48.
• Lol, unsure why  dad keeps trying to  make the carers leave early? At 5:54pm he was already  telling me to use the loo and telling Verena he'd sign her off! Me: firstly, dad, I'm reading  for one more minute before going to the toilet and Verena's already said she'd help me put my vest on plus washup the arvo tea stuff and her shift doesn't end till 6pm so please don't send her away yet. XD
• At 5:55pm I sat over the loo once for two more tinkles, put the  vest on, returned online and signed Verena off with my thanks and byes. She's said she'll shout  another bubble tea next time she minds me,  woo hoo!
• Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 170TH time. All the things I like  recording  are @ the bottom of today's second post.
• Summoned to  dinner @ 7:40pm, I used the loo for one tinkle before sitting down  to the usual dinner.
• Drank soup, took  bowl to sink, returned online and used loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm.
• Toms: Peggy's minding  me from 9:30am till  4pm. We'll buy groceries from Pinelands Coles, buy my once-weekly lunch crunchy pork bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse and come home for lunch. At 12:15pm Peggy's driving me out to the  NAB for a two hour session with Vincente then seeing  me home and showered before leaving @ 4pm.
• Have already reminded PIG mum that she'd better gimme RICE for arvo tea since Lorraine's taking  me  to  Toastmasters toms night and I'm only getting an UnHappy Meal with an orange juice for dinner ... *sigh*
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing  day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S.  Tee hee I managed FIVE posts tonight! Yeah,  that's possible some Mondays but toms there'll only  be one/two  posts. XD

Monday Post 330d

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3878 but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really  still owed TWENTY-THREE MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, continuing today's events?

• After washing and drying Era I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own  seatbelt (what I do both ways). PIG mum tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage, parking up the driveway.
• I use the loo for one tinkle then lie down for some massage and acupuncture. PIG mum's in her element yapping unceasingly @ Ray (today she repeated one syllable fives times before continuing  XD); my grateful thanks to Ray who always replied and kept a conversation flowing.
• After one more loo trip, PIG mum tootles us home and I start reading today's Bible passages while she scrounges around for some lunch for us.
• Lunch is one bowl of red-sauce pasta and washed down with one huge mug of  herbal  tea~
• After lunch, I take the cup over to the sink then pop online, before sitting over the loo once more for two tinkles and awaiting Verena's arrival.
• First, she tootles me off to physio, saying she's not been  back for ages since she's been  very sick; she had liver! o_O I asked her did you get a liver transplant? When she said ni I replied um, then how come you're not dead? Don't you die once your liver dies? Verena taught me that some liver damage's reversible!
• Breathe physio today: 1.585km bike ride, forty bar-assisted push ups with left weight shift, forty steps for Erf with more left weight shift, forty steps for Elf, forty v-bar cable rows with both hands, forty leg curls for Elf, forty leg curls for Erf, forty leg extensions for Elf, forty leg extensions for Erf, tennis ball throwing and catching for Era and boxing!
• After one tinkle, Verena tootled us back   to Woolies @ Warrigal   Square and grabbed a trolley  for us. Groceries bought, we sat outside Tea Station and Verena shouted me a LARGE choconana latte with pearls! :D 
• Back home I take a nice hot shower - hairwash  today. Also thanks to Verena 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 juicy pear, one plain cracker and one delicious mug of Earl Grey/English Breakfast tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 330c

 Good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly,  Em's new  plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3752 (so ha, I'm over 3.5  grand but  doubt I'll  reach four  grand tonight, sorry XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'To Wait On The Lord'. Anyways, potential final, final events for tonight?

• Yay, 5th 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*
• After doing the exercises Winnie taught me to prevent further back pain, Daddy Bear and I happily cuddled and snored, nature calling once more around 9am.  Surely  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, help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the  bra strap  and laying out my tee and jumper before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into 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 slice of  dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly   spread with some avocado  and hopefully very lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P  and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, 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.

See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

Sunday Post 330c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2365. anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I spent about  seven minutes Facebooking.  XD
• At 9pm, I walked myself slowly  and safely once more to the loo for  one tinkle and back, always 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. Will haveta ring CODA toms during breakfast if they've still  not   said who's minding me from 2-6pm.
• Guessing we'll leave the grocery shopping till toms arvo after I've had physio with  Winnie?
• Fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm  news for the 170TH time!
• Anyways, hope  everyone has a smashing  week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 330b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2295 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Servant Of Abraham'. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• Once I'd used up the most important   two hours of my day, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat to read the Matthew Reilly novel for one hour and munch the arvo  tea had left me before hitting pigland upstairs: one banana (to peel  myself), one plain cracker and one huge mug of green/herbal/fruit tea. Today  I  finished arvo  tea @ 4:32pm, reached page fifty  @ 4:36pm and page seventy-five @  exactly 5:05pm.
• After  reading for precisely one hour,  I  went and took a nice hot shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair  today. I also  softly, slowly but most  hatefully sang  20% my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was all done after only 10% but happily leaned fully against  the right side rail  before calling PIG mum back.
• Since she'll not even dry my  back for me anymore, once she dried the back of the chair I did  everything else and she didn't feature again until  my  bra strap needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and  both laces needed tying.
• After I dried the loo seat I sat  for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped both  feet   dry, washed and dried  Era then walked myself slowly  and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Did my weekly file backup  then 'twas time to  use the  loo for one more tinkle and climb back into  the Chery,  since tonight we were meeting  Aunty A for dinner @ Ru Yi!
• The food was great but the portion minute. *sigh* Turns out  the Slams were originally coming over for dad's duck but  they suddenly pulled out!
• Oh, thanks to   PIG mum who kindly  helped me with my seatbelt tonight; you know I've got sh*tty night vision post brain injury. >< *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.

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

Sunday Post 330

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1522 steps (ha, I'm just over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional  topic from last night's "Satan's Strategy And Your Defense"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'God Has Different Ways To Get You There'  and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Living Water Of Christ'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep  last night! Nature had already called  once minutes before midnight but after one pot :P trip Daddy Bear and I happily  snored until either parent (probably dad; PIG mum does multiple THUMPS) went THUMP once and woke me again for the pot  :P after which I immediately tried falling back asleep  since I remembered PIG mum would come downstairs around this time!
• Like 114 breaths into falling  back asleep another THUMP's heard and I give up  the plan of  falling back asleep. 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*
• Soon, PIG mum lets herself into my  room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly   slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap plus laying out the tops before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into the tops first before giving myself fifteen more minutes.
• 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. Oh, and I started a new Colgate toothpaste last night, having finished the Harry Potter one. Don't get  to  brush my teeth with magic anymore. >< 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 is one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully very  thinly sprinkled with some salt (guess it's my inferior tastebuds that never taste any? XD), one full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and another mug of Milo. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• Breakfast finished, I walk myself slowly  and safely back to the loo, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 
• After  washing and drying  Era I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car  and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles us  off to   church and parks outside out  service hall. I hike up the ramp, use the third cubicle of  the normal female toilets (the disabled plus the first two cubicles of  the normal female toilets had  closed lids but horrid PIG mum wouldn't lift them  for me), washed and dried both hands then grabbed my usual spot @ the most left inside the service hall. Thanks to Bernard who's installed a heater inside there!
• Yay I get to stay seated for  service. I sing everything plus the harmony for all four songs but like every other week, meant absolutely  NOTHING. ><  *sigh*
• Today Peter (not our Pastor  Peter) spoke about the aroma of Christ and  there was communion afterwards but service still finished three minutes early!
• When PIG mum came for me, I got to ask after Mel Mel who's thankfully getting better  after not  attending GG four days ago  since she was unwell.
• I used the disabled loo once myself, hiked around to the back and sat  for morning tea, munching a pack of Arnott's bikkies (apparently  it's like  a SIN to put an  entire biscuit into your mouth??) and drinking one cup of  milky tea that certainly tasted like it didn't contain  any sugar, even though dad insisted he'd added some. Sure, prolly one grain. >< *sigh*
• While PIG mum enjoyed her once weekly coffee and gossip session   with her aunty   friends and everyone else enjoyed lunch together @ My Pho in  Runcorn, dad made me  eat with him @ Hungry Jack's again.  Thursday just past already marks  one whole WEEK since I last enjoyed a proper meal out so yay that apart from getting a Whopper Junior  and exactly ten chips, I  shook a cheap  medium  shake and dad lemme drink most of it! Best  of  all, dad lemme open the sunroof both ways, meaning I spent the drives looking up  out into the blue sky rather than the traffic ahead.
• 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.
• Once I've used up the most important two hours of  the day online I'll use the loo for one tinkle then sit   @ the gobbling :P table and hopefully read the Matthew Reilly novel for one hour and wait  for  PIG mum to  come downstairs and gimme some arvo tea.
• Apparently tonight we're meeting Aunty A for dinner tonight @ Ru Yi?
• Toms: seeing Ray  for some massage and acupuncture before coming home for lunch with  dearest dad but unsure who's taking me to Breathe for physio yet.
• Presume we're buying groceries before coming home for personal care; fingers crossed I can read the Matthew Reilly book for one hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 171ST time, provided that I can watch it for the 70TH time tonight!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week  ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 330c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2606. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• Back home I used the loo for one tinkle then sat   to  munch arvo  tea (my honey chicken  sushi roll plus one huge mug of fruit tea) and read for two more hours, since it's only  Thursday that I can  spend a   blessed three hours reading~  This arvo I reached pg. 444 @ 4:26pm, finished arvo   tea @ exactly  4:30pm, reached pg.  459  @ 4:38pm and FINISHED THE BOOK @ 3:52pm! EVERYTHING was finished @ 3:54pm and after one tinkle I immediately continued with the Matthew Reilly book Georgia had kindly got for me! I reached page  twenty-five @  exactly 4:30pm!
• Reading finished, I used the loo for  one  tinkle then plopped online and read today's Bible  verses. After one more tinkle I plopped online for myself.
• Happily   watched the 6pm   news bulletin (Nine's)  for the 169TH time). All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of today's first post.
• Only  twenty minutes left,  so just  super-briefly:
• used loo, had dinner, drank   tea, took cup  to sink, returned online, rang Aunty Lai then  used the loo for one more tinkle afterwards.
• Toms: just church, definitely nothing  special. Would love lunch out with other ESS peers afterwards but expecting just   a cheeseburger with dad @ Hungry Jack's then a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum. *sigh*
• Anyways,  looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 330b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2545 (See? Told you I'd crack  2.5 grand! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Walk Through It'. Righteo, continuing today's events?

• After counting  down from 900, I announce to  Georgia that I'm hungry and swing myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle. We  get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom  and brush teeth (my last time using my Harry Potter toothpaste; can't  brush my teeth with magic anymore XD), drink one tall cup of water then sit  over the loo proper. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 
• After washing and drying Era,  I head out to the gobbling :P table with Georgia. Breakfast is my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry  (unbuttered)  toast very lightly spread with  avocado, all  my usual drugs :P  and my first big mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful  of honey. Over and after breakfast I happily read for thirty minutes.
• While  Georgia closed and locked windows, I used the loo  for one more tinkle, washed and dried Era then climbed into the passenger seat of  Georgia's Echo.
• Georgina tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace, parks out the front  and grabs a trolley for us.
• PIG mum only wants a jug of milk today and afterwards I head over to Sushi Creators and grab my honey chicken  sushi  roll before Georgia tootles me home and I  take a nice hot  shower -  hairwash today. Also thanks to Georgia who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing  Era to hold my stupid  right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed  and rekitted, lunch is  one bowl  of rice leftovers (thanks to Georgie who added some  soya sauce for me) and two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful  of  honey. I happily read for another thirty-five minutes, finishing pg. 425 @ 12:44pm.
• PIG mum gets home just when I'm about to  sit over the loo for two  more tinkles. Georgia tootles me off to  church  to play table tennis with dearest  there; after arrival I  sign  her  off  with my  thanks and byes. She's back next Friday and probably   taking me to  the NAB foor two hours' physio, provided they don't cancel again!
• Had  great fun playing with  dad  who lemme win again~ Only he SMASHED a ball into my lower lip! ><" XD I told  PIG mum she'd better bok him for  me. XD
  Cheers,
  Em. ^

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2422 steps (so trust I'll have reached 2.5 grand before the day's  out  XD); secondly, John  Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Jesus Keeps His Sheep'; thirdly,  TWFT topic's 'You Need More Of The Holy Spirit (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Serving God, Not Self'  but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 169TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like the  previous two nigh today. Brisbane toms: ts, nature didn't call until  6:30am and after one pot :P trip I  did the two   bed  exercises Winnie taught me to prevent further back  pain and then 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*
• The next  time nature called (around one hour later), after another  pot :P trip I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• PIG mum beginning her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs wakes me for one more pot :P trip. Soon, she's  let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going  back outside and awaiting Georgia's arrival. 
• After PIG mum lets Georgia inside, she instructs her to gimme fifteen more minutes.  Daddy  Bear acknowledges with a paw nod before imperiously waving her away. XD
• Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 330c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 4570. Ha,  I'm just over 4.5  grand; that's even less common than four grand! XD Anyways, final, final  events for  tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I started reading  and sharing my Facebook memories.
• At 9pm, I  walked  myself  once more slowly and safely to the loo  for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms:  Georgia's back minding me from 9:30am till  1pm, if  I've not scared her away.   XD Presuming  we'll buy my honey  chicken  sushi    roll from  Underwood MarketPlace plus any groceries PIG mum  wants from  Woolies before  coming home for  a shower and lunch. Fingers crossed Georgia will gimme three big mugs of white tea with  sweetener!
• She'll drop me off @ church to play table tennis with dearest dad before leaving  @ 1pm;  after getting home I'm planning  to read all arvo since it's only Saturdays that I  can spend a blessed three hours reading. Oh, will ask Georgia to please find me a new  book  to read for toms arvo; surely I'll finish the Carmody one toms??
• Maybe I'll watch  the  6pm  news bulletin  for the 169TH time but only if  dad waits for me  to eat  dinner! Otherwise I'll skip the  news to have dinner with him~
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing  week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 330b

 Heylo again  and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 4496 (so will  definitely pass 4.5 grand before   the night's out, sweet XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "Recognise Your Shepherd's Voice". Righteo, continuing events for Friday?

• For breakfast I munch one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with  avocado and for some reason  the PLATE (not the toast) very lightly sprinkled with salt (no worries, I just  lick the plate clean afterwards XD), one full mug of  water, all my usual  drugs :P and another mug of unsweetened Milo. 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 Georgia please to gimme sun  sunscreen (face and both  hands)  then she walks behind me  back to   the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast  stuff up. Over the loo, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 
• After washing and drying Era I climb into the backseat of Georgia's car and she tootles me off to Calamvale Central to get a haircut and buy groceries from Woolies. Thanks to her who kindly helped me with my seatbelt all day and phew, this time there was a disabled park available on arrival.
• Didn't haveta wait for my  haircut - and duk'm'duk  was my hairdresser!  I have awful facial recognition so didn't know  'twas her but after the haircut finished she asked me, duk mmm duk and I  was like,  ohh, you!! XD I like haircuts here because it's the only time I'm instructed to look down; usually PIG mum just  screeches @ me to look up! 
• Georgia brings a trolley  and we hike to the end and buy groceries for PIG mum. On the way back to the carpark I use the loo for one tinkle since we're headed to Underwood Park next and I'm unsure are there any toilets there.
• At Underwood Lake I take a hike around the path and enjoy a lie-down in the sunlounge. I tell Geoorgia to  lie down on  your own sunlounge but she says nah and just sits cross-legged on  the low stone wall behind me and we chat. Pity we didn't see any turtles today  but Gimpy the water dragon appeared; he's so named since he's lost the tip  of his tail! o_O
• When Georgia drove me home, PIG mum rang when we'd just entered Allan Cresc., demanding where are you?! You've got  OT @ 2pm, once Georgia leaves! I reply relax we've just turned  into   Yvonne Rd.
• So a nice hot quickest shower for  me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Georgia who helped me  rinse out my  hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted lunch  was a tomato and onion toastie with only one slice of cheese and one huge mug of herbal  tea.
• At 1:55am I sat over the loo  once more for  two tinkles then sat while PIG mum signed Georgia off (she's back 9:30am toms)  and let Ari inside.
  Ela did one hour of unfunctional exercises with   Era and then Era practised some handwriting by  writing out the recipe we're gonna cook  next  Friday! I told Ari I'd need line paper to write straight and she drew lines for me!
• When Ari left I used the loo   for one tinkle then  sat down to have arvo tea (one plain cracker, one gloopy mouthful  of delicious passionfruit and another huge mug of  herbal tea) and read the Carmody novel  for one hour. Today I reached pg. 375 @ 4:21pm and finished arvo  tea @ 3:43pm.
• Used loo for one tinkle, did my  daily Bible reading, plopped online for myself and watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 168TH time. All  the things I like recording are @ the bottom of the previous post. PIG mum got  dad to have dinner with  her but  without me @ 6:10pm. *sigh*
• Receiving permission to come to dinner once the news ends, I use 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.
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy  wombok, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup  potato, lotsa soup  onion anda little of PIG mum's salty meat brisket. Since the parents were already relaxing on the sofa watching YouTube, I  allowed Ela to rest in  my lap and both legs up onto  the foot rest and stuffed the  teatowel Peggy  uses for me  when I'm  eating my Tuesday bahn mi and enjoyed not having to  lean forward when I eat.
• Dinner was washed down  with a third mug of herbal tea;  after taking the cup over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Righteo, 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 weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 330

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4326 steps (sweet I'm over four grand; that that doesn't happen very often!); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'How To Defy Sinful  Desire'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'You Need More Of The Holy Spirit (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Anchored In  God' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still  owed FIFTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 168TH time!! Anyways, events for  today?

• Yay,  what better way to end the working week than with my second awesome consecutive sleep last night? Like  yesterday, nature didn't call until 6:30am, and after  one pot  :P  trip I immediately did the exercises Winnie taught me to  prevent  further back pain before 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 PIG mum begins her daily noisy  a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon,  she's let herself into my room  to hit me with the eye goo before  returning outside and awaiting the new carer's (Georgia's) arrival.
• After she arrives and PIG mum instructs her to  gimme fifteen more minutes I'm  counting  down from 900 when suddenly the phone  starts ringing! I call "Phone!" and pray that it's UQ ringing no physio; when  PIG mum enters my room to pickup the phone  she mutters "It'd better not be the NAB ringing to cancel your appointment" but hallelujah, it was! :D XD
• When  Georgia returns she tried to get me up, but  since she doesn't touch me and only  uses words I  just ignore her. XD When  she returns with PIG mum and I get poked in the face, I've gotta get up. XD In  her defence, she caressed my face, not poked.  XD
• I use the pot :P  for one more tinkle and introduce myself to Georgia. Wow, she's only twenty-one and I'm her first ever client for CODA!! I feel privileged that Michelle trusts me to be a compliant client for  her very first shift. XD
• 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 Georgia, who tells me that she had three Weet-Bix for breakfast. Just like me, she's a Weet-Bix kid!
  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 the168TH time: Perrett, Trump  (heard), Millward, Herrero, Croucher, Albanese (heard), McGoverne, Frecklington, Griffith (heard), Ha-teya (first name), Conroy, Burnham (heard), Gripske, Purdie, Pointing, Marles, Jamieson (first  name), Greer, Chalmers (heard), Wilson, Greenslade, Rinehart (heard), Hodge (heard), Kennedy (heard), Marcolina, Godfrey, Herbert (heard), McCrae, Hannay,  Jenkins (heard), Bellamy (heard), Leidwanger, Munster (heard), Walters, Haas, Munster (heard), Maguire, Payten, Dearden (heard), Purdue (heard), Clifford (heard), Fox, Makenna (first name), Baily Farage, Angwin, Sinclair, Monika (first name), Kalkar, Wheeler, Armstrong, Issacs, Singh (heard), Pullar, Speer (heard), Martin, Mimi (first  name), Becker, Sheehy, Thomas (heard), Tadros, Hughes, Balme, Volpato and Kohler.

 Good evening again and one final  greeting  for tonight! Em's final, final plodding  total for Thursday now stands @ 2010.  Ha, I'm just over two  grand.  XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• At 9pm I walked myself once more slowly  and safely to  the loo for one more tinkle and back,  always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Tonight's ice cream night, yay! Like I  say every week, a very little's better than none @ all~

• Once  the news ended I called out and asked the parents to  please summon me over for dinner once it's ready. When dad immediately   replied come, I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly  and safely to the gobbling :P table,  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy wombok, lotsa soup  carrot, lotsa soup  tomato, lotsa soup onion and a little yummy salty  steamed meat brisket.
• 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.

• Suddenly I remembered that I'd forgotten to read for five more minutes after dinner and returned to do that! See, I like reading for one hour everyday when possible~
• 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 Friday else wishing everyone a smashing end to  the week toms!

Thursday Post 330

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1655 steps (ha, I'm over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Preach To Yourself'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Step Out And Do It!' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Prepared To Help'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 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, me waking again for the pot :P when 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 por Elf  a  very brief rub, since she'd totally ignored my poor  foot last night. Actually, she'd hit me with  the eye goo last night then left me to get myself to bed; since dearest dad had already headed  upstairs also, I scooted the kitchen chair to the  fridge and got the milk, scooted to the benchtop and poured myself one mouthful, scooted back to  the fridge to replace the milk  then scooted back  to the dining table and left the chair in it's original position. XD Yay also that Elf wore her sock  to sleep last night although obviously Era peeled the sock off first thing this morning! XD
• When Morine hadn't arrived @ 8:01pm, PIG mum opened the bedroom door and snapped @ me, "She's not here Fifteen more minutes."  I immediately complying, asking  PIG mum please  to ring CODA on-call should she not have arrived by 8:10am.
• Phew she arrives shortly afterwards and PIG mum instructs her to  help me up @ 8:15am.
• When Morine taps me @ 8:15am, I sit up, say good morning  and use the pot :P for three more tinkles. Sure enough, she'd been stuck in traffic this morning.
• We get me kitted, I head over to  the bathroom and brush teeth before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and dry Era, I 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 slice of  dry (unbuttered) toast very  thinly spread with avocado and hopefully very thinly sprinkled with salt, one full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and another mug of Milo. Thanks to Morine who turns 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 finishing breakfast, I ask Morine please to gimme (both hands, face and neck) some sunscreen then she walks behind me back to the bathroom then returns to the kitchen  and washes the breakfast stuff up. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Morine's  car (what luxury! Last night I enjoyed a ride in a BMW that had a SEAT WARMER and today I got a ride in Morine's Lexus! :D) and she tootles me off to GGCW! She kinda gets lost and doesn't park outside the library, meaning it's a longer than usual  hike for me, hence why I skip the initial bathroom  visit since I'm already ten minutes late but the meeting doesn't start until after I arrived and Nancy still  arrives LATER than me! XD
• Nine attended today, Tammy helped me once to   the bathroom @ morning tea time and Merlyn brought tiramisu CAKE and I even got seconds! :D Actually I even had 3rds and 4ths since she left me the last two slices and I  said I'd share one with Morine but Morine said nah you enjoy I've already eaten! There's three weeks until the  next meeting and homework's A face in the mirror.
• The meeting ended ten minutes early but since Morine and I stayed behind for cake and I used the loo once more before leaving I showered half-fast  after arriving home since Morine was leaving  @ 1:30pm.  Also, I bumped into Sarah Shakibaie (sp?) She was walking with one bub (maybe preschool-age?) and pushing another in a baby stroller but  said "Hi, Em!" when I  walked towards her (at the returns machine of the library). I've got awful facial recognition but phew, identified her.  XD
• Showered half-fast after arriving home - hairwash today. Also thanks to Morine who helped me rinse out my  hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was one bowl  of rice leftovers plus one huge mug of powdered HK-style milk tea.  Alas that today marks one whole WEEK since I last enjoyed a proper meal out  but fingers crossed another comes soon!
• Only thirty minutes left, so just  briefly: took cup to sink, used loo for one tinkle, washed and dried  Era then read my daily Bible passages before popping online.
• Tonight's ice cream night, yay! Like I say every week,  a very little's better than none  @ all!
• Toms:  TBA which carer's helping me up  then taking me to the NAB for  two hours' physio with Vincent but I've emailed Michelle and hopefully  she'll  reply soon.
• That  carer will see me home, showered and fed with lunch  before Ari comes to give Ela one hour of  unfunctional exercises @ like 2:30pm. 
• Don't think I've got anything happening after she leaves; looking forward to reading the Carmody book for another hour then watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 168TH time, provided I  can  watch it for the 167TH time tonight!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing end to  the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 330c

 Good  evening and  one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total  for  Wednesday now stands @ 3734 and secondly, Joni's devotional  topic's 'The Business Of Doing  The  Impossible' but thirdly  and way most importantly, I'll really  still be owed ONE HOUR and SIX MINUTES online should PIG mum really boot me  off to bed @ 9:45pm!! >< But just noting down that PIG mum and I went to Underwood Marketplace and bought knickers from KMart and groceries from  Coles before Lana took me to table tennis -  for the first time in one MONTH there was CAKE and there'll be cake next week too! :D I thought Lana was in her seventies/eighties but she's not  even  sixty yet! But she left @ 6:01pm  after I'd showered and she'd cleaned the bathroom, even though her shift doesn't  finish till 6:30pm. Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 166TH time, wolfed down dinner @ 6:30pm, sat over the loo for two more tinkles @ 7pm  and Jenny gave me a lift to GG @ 7:15pm! Have finished that little booklet; we're now studying sth with Canva and today's title was You're Married To Christ. Toms I've forgotten who's taking me to  GCCW  but don't have anything happening afterwards. Hope everyone's having a smashing  week!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 330b

 Heylo and good afternoon again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 1876 but  secondly  and way more importantly,  I('m  really still owed ONE HOUR and EIGHTEEN MINUTES online after I get home from  GG tonight; argh, it's looking like the SECOND CONSECUTIVE DAY when I'll not get the ENTIRETY of the most IMPORTANT two hours of the day online!! >< *sigh* Anyways,  events for today?

• Aww, nature called around 12:45am  and denied me the chance to start another awesome sleep  streak. *sigh* Never mind, 'twas a sound asleep aside from it~
• 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. Can't  remember did nature call again around 7:45am but it definitely did once more around 9am, just before noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself  into my   room  to hit me with the eye goo and help me very  slightly with  absolutely nothing but the bra strap and laying  out my tops before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply  with after immediately struggling into the tops then giving myself  fifteen more minutes first.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
