• After publishing the previous post I continued reading and sharing my Facebook memories.
• At 9pm,  I walked myself once more slowly  and safely once more 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. Actually I went over to the gobbling :P  table and helped make her cake first!
• Toms: Dad's arriving back in Brisbane toms!! <3 Peggy's minding me  9:30am till 4pm; we're buying my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi  from the Pinelands Bakehouse plus whatever groceries PIG mum  wants from Voles and then coming home for lunch, before Peggy drives me  to  the NAB for two hours physio with Not Tabitha.

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total  for Monday now stands @ 2989 (so will definitely crack three grand before tonight ends XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Admitting Your Weakness' but thirdly and way most importantly I'm really sttill owed  TWENTY-FOUR MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, continuing Monday's events?

• 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. Before reading my daily Bible passages I quickly type out GCCW homework since Mary complained last meeting that I didn't submit homework until the day before and she didn't have time to read it! XD
• That done, I use the loo for one tinkle then read my daily Bible passages before plopping online for myself until PIG mum summons me for lunch.
• PIG mum cooked surprisingly tasty fried rice for lunch!
• Lunch was washed down with one delicious mug of Chinese tea; after taking the bowl  over to   the  sink 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.

• At 1:55pm I sit once more over the loo  for two  tinkles then sit by the front  door awaiting Louiza's arrival @ 2pm.
• She arrives two minutes late (stuck in traffic) but makes good time tootling me off to Breathe for physio.
• Physio  today: 1.555km bike ride, forty bar-assisted push ups with left weight shift, forty steps for Erf with more left weight shift, forty steps for Elf with left weight shift, forty v-bar cable rows with both hands, forty leg extensions for Elf, forty leg extensions for Erf, forty leg curls and boxing!
• After one tinkle, Louiza tootled me off to the Sunny Park Woolies for grocery shopping. I prefer shopping with the carers more than the parents since the carers lemme sit on the self-serve checkout machine but the parents don't. Just grumpy since there was sufficient change butt mean PIG mum  wouldn't lemme redeem the  $3 McFlurry on the My Macca's app! >< *sigh* 
• 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 was one yummy pear, one plain cracker and one small cup  of some herbal tea. Originally PIG mum had putt the teabag into the white tea with sweetener biggest mug but I asked Louiza please switch itt.
• Happily  read the book club novel for one hour, reaching pg. 350 @ 5:06pm and reaching pg. 375 @ 5:41pm.
• Sat once more over the  loo  for  two tinkles @ 5:55pm then signed Louiza off with my thanks and byes; she's backThursday 8:00am and taking me to GCCW!
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 181STT time but have misplaced where I usually note everything. XD
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 326c

 Good afternoon again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for  Monday now stands @ 698 (but  going out next) but secondly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-FOUR MINUTES online after I get home and watch  the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the181ST time!!  Anyways, continuing today's events?

• After returning to sleep with Daddy Bear and waking up for the pot :P once more around 9am, I  call upstairs to  PIG mum again and remind her please to help me up soon since I'm hoping not to  already be back in my  room before twelve hours have passed!
• Still, she takes her time with things, meaning I  don't let her gleefully  FORCE  :(  me to  walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth until nearly 9:50am. *sigh*
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo  for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P  table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. Breakfast's one slice of  dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully very lightly sprinklled 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. 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,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 326b

 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, today I've been  hard @ work plodding only 603 steps (since obviously, I've not left the house yet); secondly, John  Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Not Nearly Hedonistic Enough'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Talk Back To Your Giant' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Heart Of The Matter' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm  really still owed ONE  HOUR  and FIFTY-ONE MINUTES online after lunch!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 11TH 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*
  Cheers
  Em. ^^,

• After publishing  the previous post I continued reading and sharing my  Facebook memories then @ 9pm 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: not seeing Ray coz he's taking term three school holidays with his girls! Hope PIG mum remembers  to help me up latest @ 9:20am and takes me for walkies somewhere before coming home for lunch but I can't remember was it Jacinta/someone else taking me to Breathe for physio @ 2pm.

Sunday Post 326b

 Heylo and good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2405 (so  prolly won't quite reach 2.5 grand before the night's out, sorry XD) butt secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed SEVENTEEN MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, continuing today's events?

• Lol, I fell back asleep so deeply I missed noisy PIG mum's daily a-THUMPING around upstairs and didn't wake until she let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo! I immediately used the pot :P  for one tinkle, she helped me exceedingly slightly with nothing bar the bra strap and laying out the tops then left 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 use 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 toilet, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and she tootles us off to  church. After hiking up  the ramp, I use the 3rd cubicle of the normal female toilets myself,   wash and dry both hands then grab my usual spot for service on the most left and PIG mum heads back upstairs for the Canto service.
• Yay I get to stay seated for worship. I sing everything, plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING.  >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Uncle Roger! We'd bumped into him just before reaching the bathrooms this morning and his sermon topic was 'My Presence'.
• After service I used the loo again myself and then headed around the back for some morning tea but didn't get the chance to show off my medal (to Aunty Anita and Uncle Peter only) since every else was attending the AGM butt phew,  PIG mum says I may bring it next week~
• 'Ttwas already 11am when we got home butt  Georgia was running late hence why I used the loo for one more tinkle before she arrived; I climbed into the passenger seat of  her car,  PIG mum actually HELPS with my  seatbelt (note that she usually only helps when someone's watching and then Georgia tootles me off to Ho Lin Wah for lunch, finding a park just after the fruit shop.  It's been a few months since I last saw her, she's still only twenty-one and doing visual arts (pottery)  @ uni!
• Once inside I glanced @ the set meals and went drat, A's some kinda black bean chicken but yay,  B's white sauce chicken! After the little waitress (she's the one who  always repeats your order) confirmed the guess, I ordered the  B meal with a cold HK-style milk tea butt Georgia passes saying she'd had a huge breakfast (i.e. brunch). When my meal  arrived Georgia asks would you mind if I  watched YouTube on my mobile and I said no, only if you  don't mind that I eat with full mouthfuls and don't converse much! XD It's been a happy three weeks, eating with full mouthfuls; promise to eat daintily after  dad returns. XD
• Back home I take a nice hot  shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Georgia who helps me rinse out  my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried,  creamed and rekitted, PIG mum had a special arvo tea to help me celebrate my half birthday: a mini cute mooncake! I prolly had some fruit also and washed that down with one huge mug of herbal tea. Georgia's shift ended @ 1pm but PIG mum kept  yapping @ her and didn't let her leave till 1:03pm. XD
• After she left I happily read the book club novel for one hour, reaching pg. 200 @ 2:33pm, finishing arvo  tea @ 2:46pm and reaching pg. 325 @ 3:08pm.
• After using the loo for one tinkle I booted the computer up, but before reading my daily Bible passages I had to finish my Birthday Celebrations post first!
• That all done, I  tootled online for myself.

• All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine’s, read by Wendy Kingston) for the 181^ST time: Neale (heard), Geran, Fagan, Lohmann, Croucher, Ward, Albanese, Wilson, D’Alessandro, O’Neill, Probyn, Trump, Sinclair, Dupont, Gorm (first name), Paynter, Burgaard, Giuseppe (first name), Todhunter, Phoenix, Griffin, Farnham, Eyescobar, Rix, Scott, Farnham., Blackman, Robinson, Kaufusi, Felise (first name), Dufficy, Sheeran (heard), Scott and Zahos (heard). de Minaur, Lohmann, McClucaggage, Jakob (first name), Brown, Funk, Averillo, Dominique Loudon read the sports report and Garry Youngberry read the read the weather report from New Farm. Brisbane was 15-30. Brisbane toms: 14-31. Mt. Gravatt toms: 12-30. Sunrise: 5:39am Sunset: 5:44

• When  PIG mum summoned me for dinner @ 7:26pm, 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 kailan, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup  potato, some yummy tomato mince and like one chunk of chicken.

• 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.

• Righteo,  hopefully brb aftter one more 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 week ahead!

Saturday Post 326

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @  work  plodding exactly 2222 steps (cool number, eh? Actually, 'twas 2219 but that number pissed me off enough to stand up, take three small steps forward and sit back down again XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Only True Freedom';  thirdly, TWFT topic's "Don't Speak With A 'Forked Tongue'" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Rescue Plan". Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 9th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't  call until 8am, 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 for another pot :P trip when noisy PIG mum wakes me with  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 Jacinta's arrival @ 9:45am and retuning to tell me fifteen more minutes when Jacinta doesn't arrive promptly. I immediately  reply, reminding her to please ring CODA On-call @ 9:40am should Jacinta not  have arrived but should she come soon, tell her to please help me up  since she's prolly stuck in traffic. Sure enough, that's exactly what happens!
• After I've counted down from 900, I swing myself over to  the pot and announce "Jacinta, I'm hungry." She comes immediately, we get me kittled and then I head over to the bathroom before drinking 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! 
• After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Jacinta. Breakfast is my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with some avocado. I also drain another tall cup of water, pop all my usual drugs :P and enjoy my first big mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey. The only pity was that horrid PIG mum wouldn't lemme get a slice of cheese with my egg on toast! Like, she's always going on that you've gotta do things for yourself  and not ask people to do them for you; I've said I'll get the cheese myself  butt she STILL refused! ><  *sigh* But over and after breakfast I happily read for thirty minutes, reaching pg. 175 @ 10:16am.
• Reading for thirty minutes done, Jacinta slathered me with sunscreen then walked behind me back  to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast dishes up. After I sit for one tinkle over the loo I wash and dry Era then climb into the backseat of Jacinta's car. She helps me with my seatbelt (as she kindly does both ways) then tootles us off to Underwood Market Place, parking besides the ramp out front and grabbing a trolley for us.
• First we both buy  groceries from Woolies. I prefer shopping with the carers rather than the parents since they lemme sit on the self-serve checkout machine while they scan the items. While she was doing that, I proudly showed off my medal to  the shop assistant manning the self-serve checkouts and she flashed the thumbs up to me!
• Our other stop was The Sushi Creators for my honey chicken arvo tea sushi roll. When the guy behind the counter looked up and saw me, I raised one finger into the air and he replied with a thumbs up. When we reached the counter, he slid my already packaged sushi to Jacinta over to Jacinta and said "Four dollars." Jacinta looks @ me, surprised. "When did you order?" She asked. I mime our little skit back @ her and she  laughs. XD
• Back home, I take a nice hot shower - hairwash  today. Also thanks to Jacinta who rinses out my  hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch is one yummy bowl of  the yummy tuna and pasta bake I cooked with  Ari two days ago plus TWO more big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful  of honey; since PIG mum was eating her own lunch on the couch Jacinta and I had already worked out the deal: I'll hand you my empty mug after you've cleaned the bathroom and you make me one more big  mug of white tea with sweetener.  XD
• At 1:55pm I sat once more over the loo for two tinkles while PIG mum signed Jacinta off and shooed her away. She's back next Saturday fortnight.
• Did my daily Bible readings then plopped online for myself.
• Once I've used up  the most important two hours of the day online I'll use the loo for one tinkle then sit and wait for PIG mum to gimme arvo tea (my honey chicken sushi roll). Looking  forward to reading The Rose Code for awhile; it's only  Saturday that I can spend a blessed three hours reading~
• Hoping I'll watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 180TH time!
• Tonight I need to get cracking on my birthday celebrations post but I'll leave Nine Now playing and listen to the Roosters play the Dolphins; Phins up!
• Toms: just church, nothing special. Oh, the special thing's I've got support from 11am till 1/2pm   for lunch @ Ho Lin Wah then personal care @ home since PIG mum's out  having her weekly  gossip and coffee social with her aunty friends!
• Then I think there's another finals match toms night!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands  @ 2950. Aww, sorry, not quite three grand. Maybe toms. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post I  started penning (well, typing XD)my Birthday Celebrations 2026 post; cripes, I'm turning  39.5 the DAY AFTER TOMS but haven't started yet! Me: unorganised.  XD
• 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: Jacinta's minding me from 10-1; presuming we'll buy my arvo tea honey chicken sushi roll from The Sushi Creators plus anymore groceries from Woolies that PIG mum wants.
• Coming home for a shower and lunch; pretty sure Jacinta will feed me two more big mugs of white tea with sweetener!

• When PIG mum   summoned me  over for dinner @ 7:11pm 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.
• Can't remember specifically dinner was (rice, tomato mince, vegetables); I'm just beyond frustrated since I was meant to have lunch with other ESS people this Sunday but PIG mum says no, next   Sunday! >< *sigh*
• Dinner was spooned down  with one bowlful 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 lasttt  tinkle @ 9pm with my final, final plodding tottal for today, tthe final, final  events for tonighttt plus whatt's happening toms else wishing everyone a smashing  weekend ahead!

Friday Post 326

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2602 steps (ha, I'm over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Worship In A Lightning Storm'; thirdly,   TWFT topic's 'The Blessing Of Obedience' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Seeking God's Kingdom". Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 8th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until the noisy garbage truck THUNDERED down our road to  start    tipping bins @ 6:40am this morning 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* Back in bed I realised that my monthlies had arrived and reminded myself to let PIG mum know immediately when she entered my room around 7:45am.
• Sure enough, I'm wakened for the pot :P again one hour later when PIG  mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Once she lets herself into my room (the parents never knock), I immediately tell her that my monthlies have arrived, hence why she helps me stick a pad into my knickers before hitting me with the eye goo.
• Once PIG mum opens the door for Jane @ 8am, she knocks, opens the door and says  "Good morning Em; fifteen more minutes." Daddy Bear gives one paw flop in acknowledgement of her statement and just like that she's gone, denying him the  chance to imperiously flick his paw 'shoo!' @ her. XD
• When Jane returns and taps me up, I use the pot :P once for three more tinkles,  we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth before sitting over the loo for one more tinkle. After washing and drying 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's one bowl of Weet-Bix porridge with 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 tall cup of water. Amazingly, PIG mum tturned Sunrise on for my viewing pleasure (since Jane was here) 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  asked Jane to please gimme (my  face, neck, throat and both  hands) some sunscreen then she walked behind 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 oof Sally and Jane tootles me  off to  the NAB for two hours of physio with Chan. Thanks to her who kindly helped me buckle my  seatbelt both ways.
• Physio today: Explore gym: five minutes recumbent exercise bike, six minutes treadmill, single cable rows for Era, leg press 6kg,, body blade and step overs for Elf Recumbent exercise bikes have backrests! I sincerely thanked the Scottish lady for giving me Tuesday off and she said don't worry; Billy's having Friday off too! XD
• After I sat over the loo for two more tinkles Jane tootled me home and I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Jane who helped me rinse out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekittted, lunch was almost (but not quite) one bowl of the delicious tuna and pasta bake I'd cooked with Ari yesterday plus my first ever cup of Ceylon tea; I'm a fan!
• At 1:55pm I sat once more over the loo for two tinkles while PIG mum signed Jane off and immediately shooed her away. She's back next Wednesday for table tennis.
• Did my daily Bible readings and plopped online.
• Toms: Jacinta's minding me from 9:30am till 1pm; presuming we're getting my once-weekly honey chicken sushi roll from TThe Sushi Creators plus any groceries PIG mum may want from Woolies.
• Looking forward to my three big mugs of white tea with sweetener and I'm planning to read the new book club novel for three hours!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead! Cheers, Em. ^^

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.
• It's ice cream night tonight; like I always say, a very little's better  than none @ all!
• Toms: Jane's coming @ 8am, helping me up then taking me  to the NAB for two hours of physio with Chan. 
• After Jane sees me home, showered, fed with lunch and leaves @ 2pm, I'm free for the rest of the  day since the OT already  came today! Looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online, must remember to ask Jane toms morning to please find me a new book to  read for toms arvo, hoping  to read for one hour then hoping to watch the  6pm news bulletin for the 179TH time!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing end to the week toms!

Thursday Post 326b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3275 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's ... lol, it's not arrived  yet? Righteo, continuing today's events?

•   Breakfast finished, I summon Louiza back too please gimme (my face, neck, throat and both hands) some sunscreen before 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 Louiza's housemate's light green car, she kindly  helps me buckle my seatbelt (as she does both  ways) and then she tootles  me off to Underwood Lake for my hike around the lake with Pole, stopping first @ the drive-thru Zaraffa's and grabbing herself breakfast. Pity she wouldn't grab any second breakfast for me.  XD
• Pole was already  there when we arrived; turns out she lives within walking distance! She walked with me, Louiza walked behind  me and we took a hike around the lake (my 10th for the year), stopping for a quick lie-down and photo on the sunlounges and another seat and photo on the seats with backrests along the boardwalk.
• Turns out the big square bench has been removed and only the single row bench remains! We sat on that and shared the little carton of Hello Panda bikkies that I bought  recently with PIG mum.
• Returning to Louiza's car I hugged Pole bye and Louiza tootled me home for 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 shutt.
• Dried, cream and rekitted, lunch was a n unbuttered tuna in tomato and onion toastie with only one slice of cheese and one powdered mug of HK-style milk  tea. Louiza cleaned the bathroom then got me to sign her off three minutes early; turns out that she arrived two minutes late today.
• Lunch finished, I took the plate over to the sink, used the loo for one tinkle then plopped online and started reading my daily Bible passages.
• When PIG mum let Ari inside, I used the loo for one more tinkle then  headed over to the kitchen and made a pasta bake with Ari! Photos should be   on Facebook  and I enjoyed one bowl for arvo tea along with one huge mug of some herbal  tea.
• After using the loo for one tinkle, I plopped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the  178TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of the previous post.
• When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner @ 7:25pm, 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 cabbage, some yummy tomato mince and like one slice of tasteless soup pork.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowlful 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.

• Righteo, hopefully bbl after one last tinkle 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!
  Cheers,
  Em.   ^^

Thursday Post 326

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3175 steps (ha, I'm over three grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily  devotional topic from last night's "The Soul's Final Feast"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Be A Sower' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Look  To God' but fifthly  and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY-TWO MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 178TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 7th consecutive awesome sleep last night! That's the 13TH time this year that I've achieved one consecutive week of  awesome sleeps! :D Like the past three days,  nature didn't call until  8am and after one pot :P trip and doing the bed exercises Winnie taught me tto  prevent further back pain, 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 once more for the pot :P around 9am, shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Louiza's arrival @ 9:30am.
• Once PIG mum lets Louiza into the house, Louiza knocks, opens the door and says  "Hi Em, I'll help you up in fifteen, okay?" Daddy Bear gives one paw nod then imperiously flicks his paw 'shoo' @ Louiza, who smirks but wisely does as she's told, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
• When Louiza returns and taps me, I grumble "Go away; we're sleeping."  She protests "But it's been fifteen minutes!" I retort "You didn't specify fifteen more minutes. You just  said fifteen; I'm taking that to mean fifteen more hours. Git." Louiza bursts into laughter, pats the covers and says get up again, to which I comply this time. XD
• I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth, before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying  Era, I head out  to the gobbling :P table with Louiza, rousing @ her for not having any breakfast this morning.
• Me, for breakfast I get 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*
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 326b

 Heylo again and good evening! Take two: firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2295 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Only Enduring  Happiness'; thirdly,   TWFT topic's "God's Putting The Pieces Together"; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Eternity With God'; fifthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Eternity With God' and sixthly, Joni's devotional topic's "What  Are You Doing Here?" but seventhly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 8am (just like the last  two/three days) 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* But my hugest relief was that  upon waking this morning, the DOMS had finally left, phew! 
• Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking around 9am for another pot :P  trip. After  that, I call good morning to PIG mum upstairs and remind her please to help me up  soon,  since I  don't wanna be back in my  bedroom before twelve hours have  passed, else I'll feel I've wasted the whole day! >< *sigh*
• Still,  PIG mum takes her time doing things, meaning I don't  let her  gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush  teeth until nearly 9:50am. *sigh* Never mind, will hopefully have a superlong video chat with dearest dad tonight and renter the bedroom after 9:50pm~
• After brushing teeth 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 was one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with  avocado and for some  reason the PLATE (not the toast) spread with salt (no problems, I just lick the plate clean afterwards XD), all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water.  Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast I walk  myself slowly and safely back to the toilet, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 
• After washing and drying  Era, I climb into the backseat of  the Chery and PIG mum tootles us off to the Warrigal Square Woolies to  buy  groceries and OMG today she helps me buckle my seatbelt both ways! *faints* XD
• Originally all the disabled parks are taken but luckily on  the second trip  one frees up. Didn't bump into Kat today,  although  PIG mum lemme buy a little carton of on  sale Hello Panda bikkies for my catchup with Pole toms!
• Lunch  back home today was six/eight tiny but delicious steamed/boiled then fried dumplings with literally one drop oof  soya sauce for each dumpling! And OMG I  tried Darjeeling tea for the first time today:  AMAZEBALLS!! 
• Lunch finished, I took the cup over to the sink then walked myself slowly and safely back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• At 1:55pm I sat over the loo for two tinkles then  sat by the door awaiting Jane's arrival for table tennis.

• Today I think I played with Jo, Angus and I forgot  the birthday girl's name but she's only thirty-three and not only  was there CAKE, I even got seconds!! :D Oh, her name's Sam~

• While poor Jane drove through peak-hour traffic I happily played Jewel   Queen. She works @ some SIL but won't say where for her client's privacy? "None of your beeswax!" She retorted and then we both burst out laughing, before I apologised for being nosy. XD

• Back home I 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.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*

• Breathe physio   with Winnie: 1.799km bike ride, forty bar-assisted push ups with left weight shift, forty overhead shoulder arm extensions and boxing! Thanks PIG mum for ringing ahead and saying no  leg day; hopefully toms feels better but I'm still quietly throbbing! ><
• Thought we'd buy groceries from  the Sunny Park Woolies but unsure why Cynthia drove to the Garbo one? I told her go back  to Warrigal Square where there's parking  outside!
• Went home and took a nice hot  shower - hairwash today. QThanks to Cynthia who  rinsed out my  hair for me,  thus freeing   Era to hold  my   stupid  right eye tightly shut.

Monday Post 325c

 Good evening again! Take two: firstly,  today I've been hard @ work plodding 3198 steps (ha, I'm over three grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's '7 Reasons Not To Worry Part 3'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Pray Boldly (4)'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The God Who Helps' and fifthly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Secret Of Strong Faith' butt fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY MINUTES online after I use the loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! I'm not too  surprised: I was totally KNACKERED after hiking 3km of the 5km Bridge To Brisbane event yesterday! Nature didn't call until 8am and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh* Actually, after getting up, I went OW coz EEP,  I hurt EVERYWHERE!! >< Luckily nothing to worry about; just DOMS~
• The next time nature called was just before PIG mum began her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs, shortly after she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help  exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar 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 before getting myself mostly independently kitted. QThat done, I bang the wall and ask PIG mum to please help  finish with Elf's AFO straps and both laces;  it's nearly 9:45am and if I'm already back in bed before twelve  hours have passed I'll  feel  that I've wasted the  entire day! ><  Still, PIG mum deliberate takes her time meaning it's like just after  9:50am before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. *sigh*
• 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 was 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 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 she  tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Obviously, I buckle  my seatbelt both ways and we also listen to the radio (97.3FM) after PIG mum's Spotify lets her listen to two Chinese songs before quitting work for the day. XD
• At  Ray's, I use the  loo for one tinkle then lie down for some acupuncture and massage. When I   share with Ray that yesterday I hiked 3km of the 5km Bridge To Brisbane event, Ray replied, oh, that's why your calf's really tight this morning! PIG mum was obviously in her element yapping  unceasingly @ Ray; my grateful  thanks  to him who always replied and kept a conversation flowing. Mostly I'm grateful coz PIG mum rang the NAB and cancelled Tuesday's physio session for me!  Luckily I've not injured myself but  DOMS really sucks; sitting here I'm just gently   throbbing away! ><"
• After one more tinkle, PIG mum tootles me home and I sit @ the gobbling :P  table browsing for a movie that Peggy and I  can watch after bahn mi buying toms since she's with me till 4pm but I'm not attending the NAB.
• For lunch, PIG mum cooked surprisingly tasty fried rice! Since  she was already tired enough to sit  by herself on the TV and watch  YouTube, I left Ela in my lap, happily propped both feet up   and ate big full happy mouthfuls!
• Lunch was washed down with one huge mug of delicious Chinese and then I started reading today's Bible passages before sitting over the loo once more for two tinkles @ 1:55pm then sitting by the door waiting for the new carer.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 325

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 9008 steps (ha I'm just over nine grand and that's my best  for 2026!); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's  '7 Reasons Not To Worry Part 3'; thirdly, TWFTT topic's  'Pray Boldly (3)'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Deadly Confusion' and fifthly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Syrophoenician Woman' but  sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and FORTY-NINE MINUTES while I video chat with Aunty Nga hence while I'll  continue surfing  the net while  that's happening then deduct the time afterwards! But I enjoyed my 3rd  consecutive awesome sleep last night and today walked 3km of the 5km Bridge To Brisbane event with Louiza and Elaine! Had lunch @ Ho Lin before coming home for a shower then Aunty A came over for dinner tonight. Sore now but have Breathe physio toms.  *sigh* Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!

Saturday Post 325d

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2449. Sorry, not  quite 2.5 grand. Toms, I'm pretty sure! XD  Righteo, final, final events for ttonight?

• At 9pm I  walked myself 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: PIG mum says she's helping me up @ 6am, since Louiza's coming @ 7am and taking me to the Bridge To Brisbane!
• The plan's me walking 3km and using Sparkless3 for 2km but should I move too slowly I think I discussed with  Singular Bee Gee that I'll sit  down into Sparkless3, Louiza will push me  really fast to the finish line and then I'll stand up and walk over it myself! Mostly I'm just looking forward to collecting the freebies afterwards: the Sunday Mail, my medal and hopefully there'll bee free milky  protein drinks again!
• Also looking forward to having lunch with Louiza @ Ho Lin Wah again; think it's my last meal to enjoy great big mouthfuls.  XD
• Nothing happening after Louiza leaves @ 4pm but  I'm thinking after reading tomorrow's Bible passages I'm gonna sit and enjoy reading my Sunday Mail! Last year I read it one week later!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing Sunday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Toms marks one week until I turn 39.5; must  start composing  Birthday Celebrations 2026! XD

Saturday Post 325c

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2376 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Our Daily Dependence'.  Anyways,  continuing tonight's events?

• When PIG mum summoned me for dinner @ 7:04pm, I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely over to the gobbling :P  table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• When Jane had left early this arvo I'd asked PIG mum to please help me wear a vest coz it'll get colder once the Sun setts. Instead, PIG mum had just tossed me the vest and said rudely, "Wear it yourself." I did and wasn't cold anymore but after I'd reached the gobbling :P  table mother demanded that I wear it again but couldn't explain to  me how I was wearing it incorrectly? She'd even reached for her smartphone, wanting to take a video and show me, butt I'd refused,  since I knew she'd then share it  on Facebook to laugh @ me! >< Luckily, since I was seated and could  fully concentrate, I just slowly wore the vest @ least several  times until she was satisfied. *sigh*
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa oyster mushroom, lotsa 'gum jum goo' (say that in Canto), lotsa soup tomato, one boiled egg yolk and one wee slice of yummy pork.
• 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, PIG mum summoned me over to help her add ingredients for her green tea cream  roll making!
• 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   Sunday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Heylo again, good afternoon again and potentially one final greeting for today! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @  2086. Ha, I'm just over two grand. XD Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• Once I'd used  up the most important two hours of my day, I used the loo for  one tinkle then sat @ the gobbling :P table to munch my arvo tea honey chicken sushi roll, drink the teabag Singular Bee Gee gave me that I left in Sally but Jane found it  and brought it back today (BTW, 'twas DISGUSTING! >< XD) and read for another minutes, since it's only Saturdays that I can spend a blessed three hours reading~ Today I finished pg. 100   @ 3:51pm, finished the sushi  roll  @ 3:59pm, reached pg. 111 @ 4:03pm, finished pg. 111 @  4:05pm (meaning this book takes me two minutes to  finish one page), finished the disgusting drink @ 4:07, reached pg. 125 @ 4:24pm and finished pg. 150 @ 4:55pm!

Saturday Post 325

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1944 steps (so trust I'll have reached two grand before the day's out XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's '7 Reasons Not  To Worry Part 1'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Pray Boldly (2)'  and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional  topic's 'Persevering Into Joy'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! 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* Not only that, for the first time in three months I woke remembering a DREAM: Bree was driving me to Underwood Lake! I've not seen her for years I don't think; presume she's graduated nursing and stopped doing  support work for a nursey job? She was only twenty-eight when I first met her and spoke cool phrases like "Sure thing, chicken wing"! XD
• Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore; after nature calls again (shortly before 8am) and 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 a-THUMPING around upstairs around 9am wakes me for one more pot :P trip; 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 Elf  wear her sock to sleep last night but obviously tugged the sock off first thing this morning! XD
• After PIG mum lets Jane inside, Jane knocks, pushes open the door and says "Good morning Em; I'll come back in fifteen more minutes and help you up, okay?" Daddy Bear gives a single paw nod and just like that she's gone; he doesn't even get the chance to imperiously wag his paw 'shoo' @ her!
• 900 seconds later I swing myself over to  the pot :P  for one more  tinkle and announce "Jane I'm hungry." She's inside the bathroom and comes immediately. We get me kitted, I head over to  the bathroom and brush teeth then drink one tall cup 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! 

• After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Jane, who tells me that  she drank some kinda protein shake for breakfast.  Me, I  get my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with some avocado,  drink my first big mug of white tea sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar, pop all  my usual drugs  :P   and drink another tall cup of water. Over and after breakfast I happily read for thirty minutes first up. reaching page fifty @ exactly 10:30!
• Once the alarm goes off, Jane covers my face, neck, throat and both hands with sunscreen then washes the breakfast stuff up while I use the loo for one more tinkle.
• Less than thirty minutes left,  so just briefly:
• Bought groceries from Coles from Woolies Underwood MarketPlace plus my once-weekly  honey chicken sushi roll from The Sushi Creators.
• Got homeUsed loo once more for  two tinkles @ 12:55pm then  signed Jane off with my  thanks and byes; she's doing the Bridge To Brisbane toms with  her partner  too -  the 10km one! and showered - hairwash  today. Also thanks to Jane who rinses out my hair for me, thus freeing  Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Lunch is one yummy tuna in tomato and onion with  TWO slices of cheese plus two more big  mugs of white tea sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar. I happily read for another fifty-five minutes, reaching page seventy-five @ 12:38pm.
• Used the loo for two more tinkles @ 12:55pm then signed Jane off with my thanks and byes;  she's back for table tennis next Wednesday and will do the10km B2B event with her partner toms!
• Me, once I've used up the most important two hours of my day I'll use the loo  for one tinkle then sit  @ the gobbling :P  table and munch my arvo  tea honey chicken sushi roll. Also, Jane found the teabag Singular Bee Gee gave me yesterday inside Sally yesterday and returned it; I'm  drinking it this arvo!
• Toms: instead of attending ESS toms, I'm  doing the Bridge To Brisbane 5km event with Louiza and the NAB gang! The plan's walk  the 1st km, use Sparkless3 for the 2nd km, walk  the 3rd km,  use Sparkless3 for thee 4th km and then  walk the 5th km. I've got till  midday to cross the  finish line; should  I still not have finished come 11:45am/11:55am, I'll just sit into Sparkless3 and Louiza'll push me really  fast the rest of the way but obviously I'll get up and walk across the finish line myself! Mostly I'm looking forward to  the freebies: a copy of the Sunday Mail, my medal and I even vaguely recall that someone handed out free chocolate energy drinks @ the end!
• Louiza's with me till 4pm so we'll have lunch @ Ho Lin Wah again before heading home for a shower.
• Anyways, hopefully  bbl  else hope everyone has a smashing Sunday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 325c

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 5625. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• Dinner was spooned down  with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely  back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• When nature suddenly called @ 8:20pm/8:40pm I walked myself once again slowly and safely  to the loo for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

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

• Toms: Jane's minding  me again but only till 1pm this time, I think; today she stayed till 2pm.  PIG mum says we'll buy my arvo tea honey sushi from from The Sushi  Creators plus any groceries she wants then come home for shower and lunch.
• Nothing happening  after Jane leaves;  looking forward to spend my most important two hours online, enjoy my honey chicken sushi roll for arvo tea plus read the new book club novel all arvo; it's only Saturdays that I can spend a blessed three hours reading~
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• When PIG mum summoned me for dinner @ 7:04pm 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.

Friday Post 325

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 5158 steps (sweet I'm more than half a normal person today; that's rare!); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'How To Fight Anxiety';  thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Pray Boldly (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Devine Comfort'.  Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, what better way to end the working week than with an awesome sleep last night? Nature didn't  call until the noisy garbage truck  THUNDERED down our road tipping 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*
• Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, nature calling again around 9am. Shortly afterwards, PIG mum's let herself into my  room  to hit me with the eye goo  and give poor Elf an  extremely brief rub since she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night. That's alright; Era rubbed Elf's ankle for fifteen minutes last night and  let her wear her sock to sleep but  obviously remembered to remove the sock first thing this morning! XD
• After PIG mum lets Jane inside @ 8am, she knocks, opens the door and says "Good morning Em; fifteen more minutes." Daddy Bear gives a single paw nod and just like that she's gone, denying him the chance to imperiously flick his paw 'shoo'! @ her. XD
• After Jane comes back and taps me, I sit up, say good morning then use the pot :P  for three more tinkles before we get me kitted. I head over to the bathroom  and brush teeth, before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying 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 was 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* Thanks also to Jane who turns on Sunrise for my viewing pleasure~
• Breakfast finished, Jane covers me with sunscreen then  walks behind 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 backseat of Sally and Jane  tootles me off  to the NAB for two hours' physio.  Thanks to  her who kindly  helped me buckle my seatbelt both ways.
• Only thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• NAB physio with Chan for two hours: Walked 1km out to the Great Court, around once and back down, two games of standing snakes and ladders walking and bending down to floor and picking the die up.
• Got home, showered, had lunch then sat over loo for two tinkles @ 1:55 before plopping online.
• Looking forward to starting to read the new book club novel for one hour and watching the 6pm news for the 173RD time!
• Toms: Jane's minding  me 9:30am till 1pm; buying my arvo tea honey chicken sushi  with her then coming back home  for personal care.  Planning to read the book club novel  for three hours toms!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
