Saturday Post 341b

 Heylo again, good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3052 (ha, I'm just over three grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Like An Unfailing Spring' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-SIX MINUTES online should dad boot me off to bed @ 9:45pm!! *sigh* But just noting down that Jacinta minded me from 9:30am till 1pm and made me three big white teas sweetened with one spoonful of honey, I played table tennis with dearest dad @ church and happily read for three hours before watching the  Kangaroos demolish the Cook Islands by sixty points! Toms Juliet's helping me up and taking me  to church and she's back again 1-6pm (one last bubble tea...) before we're picking PIG mum up from the airport toms night! I've definitely missed her although I doubt she's missed me! I'll try not provoke her to yell SHUT UP @ me  until we get home;  last trip I only lasted as far as the highway and the time before that,  we were still @ the airport!! XD Righteo, looking forward to  seeing everyone @ church  toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Saturday Post 341

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today (I've been hard @ work plodding 2538 steps (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD); secondly,  John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Danger Of Drifting'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Your Words Have Power' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'No Mask, Simply Jesus' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and NINETEEN MINUTES online after I watch the Kangaroos play the Cook Islands!! *sigh* Anyways, events for today?

  • Aww, unsure why my awesome sleep streak ended last night? Never mind, I was just relieved that the mild illness I'd picked up three nights ago was starting to bugger off!
  • 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* .Actually, since PIG mum’s overseas holidaying, I’m using the time to recharge my mental batteries and prepare for another year with her @ the helm! XD
  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore; after nature calls again following  another pot :P  trip I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

Friday Post 341d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 4026 (ha, I'm just over four grand; that doesn't happen very often! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "Don't Forfeit Grace". Righteo, just super-briefly (already outta time) final, final events for tonight?

  • Used loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm.
  • Toms: Jacinta's minding me 9:30am till 1pm; sweet, she'll gimme three white teas with sweetener~
  • Looking forward to reading for three hours, willing to skip watching thew 6pm news for the 209TH time for that since I've gotta read the Bible passages for toms, too!
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Friday Post 341c

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding  total for Thursday now stands @ 3932 (so may not have reached 4000 before tonight ends ^^") and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's still not arrived yet? Maybe later~ Anyways, continuing Thursday's events?

  • Breakfast is two (dad cheated; he only gave me one but I thought I get two when I've got physio! Actually, 'twas three but PIG mum reduced that down to two after she introduced Minus :P to sprinkle very lightly on top) dry (no honey) Weet-Bix with all my usual drugs :P and one full cup of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • After breakfast, Jane slathers me (my hands, face plus front and back of neck) with sunscreen  then walks behind me back to the bathroom before returning tto the kitttchen  and washing tthe 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! 
  • Whoops less than twenty minutes left so just briefly:
  • Breathe physio with Winnie: 1.655 km bike ride, forty step-ups for Erf with left weight shift, forty step-ups for Elf, forty v-bar cable rows for both hands, forty leg curls for Erf, forty leg extensions for Erf, forty leg curls for Elf l, forty leg extensions for Elf, forty step-ups for Erf beside the plinth, 
  • Bought groceries with Jane from the Warrigal Square Woolies, came home, showered and had lunch.
  • Went with dad to Bunnings and  used Sparklesss3 while he went and bought brackets (dunno what for?)
  • Had arvo tea @ Lucky CafĂ©; drank a hot HK-style milk tea ALL BY MYSELF!!  :D
  • Watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 208TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of today's first post.
  • Had dinner with dad @ 7:45pm, drank soup, took bowl to sink and returned online.
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip @ 9pm witth my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening Saturday else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Friday Post 341b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially  one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 3772 (so yay that I'm over 3.5 grand butt sorry, don't think I'll reach 4000 before tonight ends XD) but secondly  and way more importantly,  I'm  really owed THIRTY-EIGHT MINNUTES online after dinner with dad tonight!! Righteo, potential final, final for Friday?

  • I've just counted down from 900 when Jane announces her arrival and expect her to enter my  bedroom and tap me up immediately but instead she knocks, opens the door and calls "Good morning Em; fifteen more minutes!" Daddy Bear flops his paw @ her and she's gone immediately; I happily count down from 900 again!
  • When she comes back and taps me up, 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 Jane.
  • Breakfast is two (dad cheated; he only gave me one but I thought - bbl!
    Cheers,

Friday Post 341

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3193 steps (ha, (I'm over three grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Sin, Sickness, Satan/Sabotage'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'You Can Break That Bad Habit' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Get Going With God'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Woo hoo, 9th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until the noisy garbage truck  THUNDERED down our road and started tipping bins; after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*  .Actually, since PIG mum’s overseas holidaying, I’m using the time to recharge my mental batteries and prepare for another year with her @ the helm! XD
  • Daddy Bear and  I  happily cuddle  and snore, me waking again for the pot :P   around 9am. About fifteen minutes later, dearest dad lets himself into my room, kisses me awake, gives me some eye goo and whacks some dressing over Elf, before heading back outside and awaiting Jane's arrival. I count down  from 900, expecting that dad will order me up once Jane arrives.
  • Fingers crossed I can bbl,  since I'm  sttill owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-SEVEN MINNUTES online!!

    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 Good evening again and one final  greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding  total for Thursday now stands @ 2453. Yeah, sorry, not quite 23.5 grand. Maybe toms.  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.
  • Toms:  think it's Jane taking  me to Breathe for physio? Hopefully we'll grocery shop afterwards,  else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
  • Shouldn't have anything happening after she leaves; looking forward to my most important two  hours of the day online, reading the fantasy book for one hour and watching the 6pm news bulletin  for the 208TH time!
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing end too  the week  toms!
    Cheers,

Thursday Post 341b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2344 (so won't reach 2.5 grand before tonight ends, sorry XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Bring Your Losses To Him'. Righteo, continuing today's events?

  • Once I've counted down from 900 seconds, I swing myself over to the pot :P for  once more tinkle and announce to Jacinta that I'm hungry. She comes, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth, before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P  table with Louiza, rousing @ her for not eating breakfast and informing her that she'd buy herself some after buying groceries for dad this morning.
  • For breakfast I only get one dry (no honey) Weet-Bix? I'd better get two/three toms since I'm enduring physio!  I also drain one tall cup of water, pop all my usual drugs :P and enjoy one big mug of white tea although sadly Louiza can't find where dad's hidden the sweetener. *sigh* 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 summon Louiza to please gimme (face, neck and both arms) some sunscreen and then she walks behind me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast stuff up. Over the loo, , I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 
  • After washing and drying Era I climb into  the backseat of Louiza's car and she tootles me off to Sunnybank Hills Shopping town, parking across the road just beyond the entrance and grabbing a trolley for us.
  • After one loo trip, I grab Orson Scott Card's Children Of The Fleet and happily read for forty minutes while Louiza buys groceries for dearest dad. 
  • Shopping done,  Louiza tootled me home for a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to her 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 with TWO cheese and one powdered sachet of HK-style milk tea.

  • At 1/2pm I signed Louiza off with my thanks and byes. She's back same time next week.

  • Ari came and we cooked some kind of chicken together!

  • Ate arvo tea, read for one hour, did my daily Bible passage readings then plopped online.

  • Happily watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 207TH time.  All the things I like recording are in  the previous post @ the  bottom.

  • Used the loo then had what I cooked with Ari this arvo for dinner plus lotsa additional soup vegetables.

  • Righteo, hopefully brb after one more tinkle @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for the day, 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 341

 Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ exactly 3000 (nice number, eh?  Actually, 'twas 2987 but that pissed me enough to get up, walk six steps out and seen steps back  XD); secondly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's 'The Lifeboat'; thirdly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2189 steps (ha, I'm over two grand XD); fourthly, John Piper's daily denotational topic from last night's 'Radical Recompense'; fifthly, WFT topic's  'Believe In Yourself; God Does' and sixthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Hope In A Hero' butt seventhly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY-THREE MINUTTTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 207TH time!! Anyways, let's start with yesterday's  events, just briefly?

  •  Jane took me to play table tennis and unfortunately while there wasn't any cake yesterday, apparently there will be next week!
  • Dad couldn't find any kai lan @ he Asian supermarket so stir-fried broccolini for me instead!
  • Bernard gave me a lift to Pastor Petter Pie's house for our potluck GG social. Too bad, I'd been hoping for a proper meal out since last night already marked THREE WEEKS since I last enjoyed a proper meal out! *sigh* 
  • But had some sumptuous dinner! :D
  • Trivia was hilarious afterwards; my general knowledge skills are severely lacking and I'm unsure how to improve them! XD
  • Dessert afterwards was amazeballs~ 
  • Dr. Esther and David dropped me home; repeat the usual nightly events and zzz~
  • Woo hoo, 8th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Since I left same time as everyone else and not earlier with Bernard (who left around 9pm since he had to be up for work @ like 5:25am) I  happily snored all the way until 8:25am before waking to relieve myself! 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*
  • Since Louiza was helping me up @ 9:30am, dearest dad let himself into my room, kissed me awake and gave me some eye goo around 9:25am. After he lets Louiza inside, she knocks, pushes open the door and says "Good morning Em; I'll help you up in fifteen minutes, okay?" Daddy Bear gives one paw nod then imperiously flicks his paw 'shoo!' @ her and phew, she complies, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

  • At 9pm I walk myself slowly and safely once more to the loo for one  tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Toms: Peggy's minding  me from   9:30am till 4pm.  She'll help me up, we'll go to Pinelands Plaza to buy groceries plus get my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse, come home for lunch then head out to the NAB for my FINAL physio session  there for 2026, woot!

Tuesday Post 340

 Placeholder post! But enjoyed my 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night, bought groceries from Coles Pinelands with Peggy plus my once -weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from aunty Nancy before coming home and enjoying a lazy lunch. Had my last NAB physio session for the year with Jarrod and attended Toastmasters tonight; only four attended! XD Unsure do I have support tomorrow morning so perhaps expect a super-pissy plodding total from me but Jane is taking me to table tennis at 1:30pm then BT is giving me a ride to our GG social even though we are only having a potluck dinner. Pity, I had been hoping for a proper meal out since tonight marks THREE WHOLE WEEKS since I last enjoyed a proper meal out!! *sigh* But hope everyone has a lovely day tomorrow!

  • After I used up the most important two hours for the day, I used the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era then sat @ the gobbling :P table and asked dad for some arvo tea.
  • While munching two tiny sugar bananas (thanks Uncle Tanny; they're cute-size and gone with one bite!), two plain crackers and drinking one huge mug of green tea (so have only had herbal tea today; fingers crossed for white tea  with sweetener toms!) I happily read for one hour, reaching pg. 100 @ exactly 5:15pm and reaching pg.  111 @ exactly 5:30pm!

Monday Post 340

 Good afternoon! Turns out I was really sttill owed FIFTTY-EIGHTT MINUTTES (nearly one whole HOUR! ><) after I video chatted with Aunty Nga last night but firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2370 steps;  secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's' The Great Missionary Hope'; thirdly, TTWFT topic's  "God's Part And Our Part' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God  Knows Your Name'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:05am 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, since PIG mum’s overseas holidaying, I’m using the time to recharge my mental batteries and prepare for another year with her @ the helm! XD Outside  I could hear the rain  BUCKETING down and was like eep, hope it all clears away before I see Ray for treatment!
  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am, shortly before dearest dad lets himself into my room, kisses me awake and gives me some eye     goo.
  • Dad also says fifteen more minutes and get up once Juliet arrives but when she arrives I've still got    twelve minutes  left! Daddy Bear just flicks his paw imperiously to shoo and I growl twelve more minutes. Luckily, they leave us be, else Daddy Bear would've showed them his Bear Bum!   XD
  • Once I've sat over the pot :P for three tinkles I was ready to  get dressed  but turns out Juliet hadn't got me any clothes yet! Meaning by the time I exited the bedroom  'twas already10:05am and doubtless I'll be back in bed for another night before 10:05pm, meaning I've  like wasted the whole day. >< *sigh*
  • After brushing teeth I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table with Juliet, who tells me that she had three Weet-Bix for breakfast this morning, the lucky thing! I'm only gonna get one!
  • Sure enough, for breakfast I only get one plain (no honey) Weet-Bix lightly sprinkled with some Plus and all my usual drugs :P.  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 Juliet to please gimme (face, neck, throat and both hands) some sunscreen  then she walks behind me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast  stuff up.  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.

  • After washing and drying Era I climb into the passenger seat of Juliet's car and she tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Thanks to her who kindly helped mee buckle my seatbelt all day.
  • A Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle myself then lie down for some massage and acupuncture and massage. For one last week this year I enjoy having a three-way  chat with Ray sand Juliet; once PIG mum  returns,  she's gonna yap,  Ray will make some affirmative sound and she'll yap again! Me, I'll close both eyes and nap. XD
  • Less then thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
  • Juliet finds rooftop parking and grabs a trolley for us. We both buy groceries @ Coles and she lets me sit on the self-serve machine bench while she scans our iems.
  • Get home and shower - hairwash  today.  Also thanks to Juliet who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed  and rekittted, lunch is one bowl of yummy rice leftovers  (wombok, sweet and sour pork) plus one little mug of green tea. While I  eat, Juliet cleans the bathroom.
  • At 1:55pm I sit over the loo for two more tinkles then sign Juliet off with my thanks and byes. She's back Sunday  7-9am.
  • Once I've used up the most important two hours of the day I'll use the loo for one tinkle, sit @ the gobbling :P table and ask dad for arvo  tea,  read for as close to one hour as I can then return and watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 206TH time.
  • Toms: Peggy's minding me  9:30am till 4pm. Presume we're buying groceries from Coles Pinelands plus my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from Coles, coming home for lunch then going to the NAB for my FINAL physio NAB session for 2026, hallelujah!! :D
  • Will need rice for arvo tea since Lorraine's taking met Toastmasters toms night and I'm getting an UnHappy Meal for dinner!
  • Anyways, hopefully  bbl else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Sunday Post 340b

 Heylo again, good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4365 steps (ooh I'm over four grand; that doesn't happen too often!  XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "Christ's Like Sunlight"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Always Do The Honourable Thing'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Portrait Of You' and fifthly,  Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Servants @ Cana' but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-EIGHT MINUTTES online while I videocast with Aunty Nga, hence why I'll still be surfing the net while chatting with her before taking the time off my net time owed spreadsheet! *sigh*  But  the Kangaroos won tonight, yay! Hope everyone has a smashing week ahead! 

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Sunday Post 340

 Enjoyed my 4th consecutive awesome sleep, attended ESS then had lunch at Hungry Jack's with baba before Juliet minded me from 1-6. Video chatted with PIG mum for five minutes and saw por por's headstone 🪦. So relieved to hear that she is surrounded by people she knows! Watching the Kangaroos' play tonight then tomorrow Juliet will take me to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Hopefully we will go grocery shopping afterwards else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me. Hope everyone has a lovely week ahead!

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Saturday Post 340

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2308 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily  devotional topic from last night's "God's Final, Decisive Word"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'How To Thrive In Enemy Territory (2) and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Quiet Faithfulness In Christ" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY-NINE MINUTES online after we get home from dinner with the Slams! Meaning hopefully we'll leave right after dinner, since I've gotta ring Aunty Lai @ 9am too ... Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:30am and after one pot :P trip I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh* .Actually, since PIG mum’s overseas holidaying, I’m using the time to recharge my mental batteries and prepare for another year with her @ the helm! XD
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

Friday Post 340

 Good evening! Firstly, today  I've been hard @ work plodding exactly 5300 steps (ooh I'm more than half a normal person today; that's rare! XD);  secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's  'Hedonism For Husbands And Wives'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'How To Thrive In Enemy Territory (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Carried Through'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until the noisy garbage truck  THUNDERED down our road (actually, before thundering comes the groaning; that's enough to wake  me!) and started tipping bins @ 5:25am (my favourite thing about the warmer month's prolly how early the Sun rises!); after tugging off Elf's sock and 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, since PIG mum’s overseas holidaying, I’m using the time to recharge my mental batteries and prepare for another year with her @ the helm! XD
  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, nature calling again around 9am. Approximately fifteen minutes later, dearest dad lets  himself into my room, kisses me awake and says fifteen more minutes.
  • Only Jane arrives two minutes early! "Two  more minutes!" I screech when I  hear dad walking down the hallway to open the front door for Jane; clever dad lets her inside and goes through all the how are you niceties before letting Jane tap me up after two minutes have passed.   XD
  • I use the pot :P  once more for three tinkles, we get  me kitted then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era I head out to the  gobbling :P  table with Jane.
  • Breakfast's only one dry (no honey) Weet-Bix lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P), all my  usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*

  • After breakfast, Janes covers both arms, my neck and face with sunscreen then 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 Sally the Stonic and Jane  tootles me  off to Breathe for physio. Thanks to her who kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt all day.
  • Physio today: 1.609km bike ride, forty bar-assissted push ups with left weight shift, forty steps for Erf with more left weight shift, forty steps for Elf, forty v-bar cable rows for both hands, forty leg curls for Elf, forty leg curls for Erf, forty leg extensions for Elf, forty leg curls for Erf, tennis ball throwing and catching for Era and boxing 🥊!
  • After one loo  trip, I climb back into the passenger seat of Sally and Jane tootles us back to   Warrigal Square and I buy groceries. Yay that the carers all leemme sit on the self-serve checkout machines while they scan the items~
  • Back home, I take a nice hot shower - hairwash  today. Also thanks to Jane who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Jane to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted lunch was one bowl of rice leftovers (thanks to Jane for making  it  tasty  by adding some oyster sauce for me) plus  one mug of unsweetened white tea. Jane says don't worry; you'll get sweetener toms!
  • Sat over the loo for two more tinkles  before signing Jane off with my thanks and byes; she's back toms 9:30am till 1pm.
  • Dad stuck extra dressings over Elf  and then I climbed into the backseat of the Chery and buckled my own seatbelt: duck hunting expedition, commence!
  • Dad first tootled us off to New Farm Park, unloaded me into Sparkless3 and we started searching for the duck along some boardwalk.
  • Not finding it, dad instructed me to ask some waitress minding some empty restaurant. I got her attention and explained we're duck hunting; where's that giant pink inflatable?? She laughs and replies you're too up/downriver! She names some place that dad recognises;  dad says thanks and we  leave.  A short while latter, dad crows aha, I found it! Only his bum's facing us; dad snorts how rude and originally considers catching the City Cat to get closer to it but in the end decides nah and we just wheel me around to it.
  • After lotsa happy snaps dad tootles us back  for an early dinner @ Market  Square! We've gotta park on the  rooftop and after I sit dad demands I move once but we shared some 'bowl jai farn' (say that in Canto); we also bump into Kitty and Kenneth!
  • Back home I use the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Toms: Janne's minding me 9:30am till 1pm. After brushing teeth and doing a stinky unspeakable  I'm showering immediately since Kenny's popping over with breakfast around 11am! He's a Hongkie physio who was  my NAB student many years ago!
  • But he's got another client @ 1pm; unsure will Jane take me to play  table tennis with dearest  dad @ church before leaving @ 1pm? If not, expect a super-pissy plodding  total from me. Also unsure should I read for three hours/watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 205TH time?  Prolly the former since I've gotta read  tomorrow's Bible passages ...
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

XD
  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P when dearest dad lets himself into my room, kisses me good morning and gives me some eye goo.
  • After dad leets Louiza  inside @ 8am, she knocks, pushes open the door and says "Em? I'll help you up in fifteen more minutes, okay?" Daddy Bear gives one paw nod then imperiously flicks his paw 'shoo!' @ her. Louiza smirks but wisely closes the door and leaves us be, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
  • When Louiza returns and taps me, I sit up, say good morning then use the pot :P once more for three tinkles. We get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth, sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table with Louiza, grousing @ her for not eating breakfast this  morning and informing her that she would be buying herself some breakfast after grocery shopping for dad while I was attending GCCW. XD

  • Following the first daylight pot :P trip I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied.

  • When dearest   dad summoned me  for dinner @ 7:27pm 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.
  • Dinner tonight:  rice, leftovers from dinner last night with the Slams covered with a mountain of yummy boiled broccoli.
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of boiled broccoli water (don't think you'd call that  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.

Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2195 steps (ha, I'm over two grand XD);  secondly,  John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "Jesus's Joy In Marriage"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Honour God In Your Home' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's  "The Lesson In  The Ruins." Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome  sleep  last night! Nature  didn't call until 7:30am, and after one pot :P  trip I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh* .Actually, since PIG mum’s overseas holidaying, I’m using the time to recharge my mental batteries and prepare for another year with her @ the helm! XD
  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle, nature calling for another  pot :P  trip around 9am. Since Juliet was due @ 9:30a, around 9:15am dearest dad lets himself into my room, kisses me morning,  gives me some eye goo  then returns  outside and awaits Juliet's arrival. After letting her in,  they stand @ the open door saying good morning; Daddy Bear nods  his paw good morning  back  @ them before imperiously  flicking his paw 'shoo!' @ them. Luckily,  dad remembers and says  fifteen more minutes; they wisely withdraw before Daddy Bear can point the Bear Bum @ them. XD
  • When Juliet  returns and  taps me up, 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 more tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Juliet.
  • Breakfast's one yummy bowl of flaky Special K, all my usual drugs :P and one tall  cup of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • After breakfast, Juliet covers me (both hands, face, neck and throat) then accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast dishes. 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 Juliet's car and she tootles me off to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Thanks to Juliet who kindly helps me buckle my  seatbelt all day.
  • At Ray's,  I use the loo  for one tinkle then lay  down for some massage and acupuncture. Ray, Juliet and I all just chat~
  • After  one more loo trip Juliet tootles me off to Sunnybank Hills Woolies and we buy groceries before heading home for a nice warm shower - hairwash today.  Also thanks to Juliet who helps me rinse out my  hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and  rekitted lunch is oone bowl of rice leftovers from  last night's dinner plus one mug of white tea, although Juliet  will neither  add sweetener nor  lemme pour myself a  cup  of  full cream  milk. *sigh*
  • At 1:55pm I sit over the loo for two  more tinkles then sign Juliet off with my thanks and byes.  Unsure when she's back next and have said Merry Christmas just in case.   XD
  • Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day I'll use the loo for one tinkle, ask dad for some arvo tea then sit and start reading the new fantasy book that someone found me!
  • Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 201ST time!
  • Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30pm till 4pm; presume  we're  buying  groceries from Pinelands Coles plus my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi (looking  forward to my once-weekly lazy eating over lunch XD) then  heading out to  the NAB and doing physio with Jarrod for two hours.  
  • Nothing happening after Peggy leaves @ 4pm; hoping to read the new fantasy book for one hour then watch the 6pmn news for the 202ND time!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing Tuesday ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em.   ^^

Sunday Post 329b

 Heylo again, good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly,  Em's final, final plodding total  for Sunday now stands @ 3637 (ha, I'm over 3.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Friends of the Man Who Was Paralyzed' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and ELEVEN MINUTES online while I video chat with  Aunty Nga!! Hence why I'm turning the sound off and continuing to surf the net once I see Aunty Nga's face then subtract the time after I've finished since I'll definitely  still be owed online; argh, what a crummy way to end an otherwise nice day. >< *sigh*  But just  briefly, events for today?

  • Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 5:50am~
  • Juliet helped me up and dropped me off @ ESS.
  • Stayed seated for worship and sang everything plus the harmony for four songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
  • Everyone else enjoyed lunch together @ Mui G but I  had to  have lunch  with  dad @ Hungry Jack's again; just a cheeseburger plus only six chips for me. *sigh* At least I had some iced coffee!
  • Kelly minded me from 1-6pm.
  • Watched the 6pm  news for the TWO  HUNDREDTH time; all the things I like recording are @ the bottom of  the previous post.
  • Had dinner with  the Slams @ Ho Linn Wah; they walked from their place hence why dad dropped them home afterwards.
  • Toms: Juliet's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm. She'll take me to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage then hopefully we'll buy groceries before coming home for a shower and lunch since I've not got Breathe physio until Friday else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
  • Looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online and starting the new book some carer recently found for me and hoping to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 201ST time!
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 329c

 Good evening  again and one final greeting   for tonight! Em's final,  final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3084. Ha, I'm just  over three grand. XD  Butt wait;  apparently  the round trip tonight took 235 steps?? Last night it only  took fifty-nine! Oh, I suppose Wally's had enough for today already. XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

  • When dearest dad summoned me over for dinner @ 7:29pm, 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: the less-yummy rice, lotsa vegies (too many to count XD) one chunk of chicken and two leftover slices of duck!
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowlful of soup; after taking the bowl to the sink I walked myself slowly  and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • At 8:55pm, I asked dad to please pass me the home phone, @ 9pm I rang Aunty Lai and chatted  with her for 6:03 and then I walked myself slowly and safely once more to the loo for  one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Suddenly @ 9:20pm PIG mum calls and we  video chat for 16:20! Won't ring her again after I shut   down the computer @ 10:02pm.

  • Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. Gabby's coming  from 7-9am, helping me up then  taking me to church; after lunch with  dad @ Hungry Jack's Kelly's minding me from  1-6pm; yay  for  another bubble tea! <3
  • Fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news for the two hundredth time and that dad will take us out to dinner @ Ho Lin Wah  toms night!
  • Anyways, looking forward to  seeing everyone @ church toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 329b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2836 (so won't quite reach three grand before tonight ends, sorry; maybe toms XD) but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed EIGHTTTT MINUTTES online after I phone Aunty Lai then use the loo for one more tinkle!! Righteo, continuing today's events?

  • After washing and drying  Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Jacinta. Breakfast's my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of toast lightly smeared with avocado, my first big mug of white tea with two sugars, all my usual drugs :P  and one full mug of water. Over and after breakfast I happily read for thirty minutes 
  • While Jacinta closed and locked windows, I used the loo for one more tinkle, washed and dried Era then climbed into the backseat of Jacinta's car and  she tootled us off to Underwood Marketplace, parking underground then grabbing a trolley for us.
  • We both  buy groceries from Woolies then I buy my honey chicken sushi roll  for  arvo tea and Jacinta buys herself   two sushi  rolls for lunch. This time, I  catch the cashier's eyes first and stick my pointer in the air;  he replies with a thumbs up and once I've braced against the  counter he hands the packaged sushi  too Jacinta, going "Four dollars. Receipt coming." Jacinta looks @ me, asking  "When did you order?" I grin, mime our little skit back @ her and she laughs." XD
  • Back home I  take a nice warm shower - hairwash today.  Also thanks to Jacinta who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch's some of the meal I cooked with Ari two days ago topped with  random vegetables and TWO more big mugs of white tea sweetened with two sugars. 
  • At 12:40pm I sit once more over the loo for two tinkles and then Jacinta takes  me to church, taking me once  more to the loo for one more tinkle upon arrival before I  sign her off with my thanks and byes. She's back next Saturday fortnight.
  • Oops I  forgot poor dad sttill had sore arms after  getting the shingles vaccine; he shouldn't have taken me to play  table tennis with him today! No wonder I won in straight sets! *feels guilty*
  • Back home I use the loo for  one more tinkle then sit and enjoy my honey chicken sushi with one  huge mug of herbal  tea. Happily I read for two more hours,  since it's  only Saturday that I can spend a blessed three hours reading but good grief, after three hours today I  STILL hadn't finished the book that I'm  reading now! >< *cringe*
  • After taking the cup over to  the sink, I used the loo for one tinkle, did my daily Bible readings then plopped online for myself.
  • Watched the 6pm news bulletin  (Nine's) for the 199TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of the previous post.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 329

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2836 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily  devotional topic from last night's "Fear And Hope In  God's Jealousy"; thirdly, TWFTT topic's 'Live In Day-tight  Compartments (2) ; fourthly, Our  Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Compassion" and fifthly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Signposts Pointing The Way Home' but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR  and SEVENTEEN MINUTES online after dinner tonight!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Aww my awesome sleep streak ended last night;  I know why: I couldn't video call PIG mum!! >< I mean, I rang but she didn't answer; what if she'd fallen down the cliff?? ><"
  • However, on the bright side, my 10th remembered dream for the year: I'm boarding a QR train with Dr. Lee/Wilfreddy! Wonder where we were going? XD
  • Following the first daylight pot trip :P, 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, when nature calls again around 9am 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*

  • Around 9:25am, dearest dad lets himself into  my room, gives me some eye goo then returns outside awaiting Jacinta's arrival. After he lets her inside, they both stand @ the door and dad goes hi Em, Jacinta's here. Get up now? Daddy Bear imperiously flicks his paw 'shoo'  @ them  and I    screech "fifteen more minutes!" Jacinta goes "Oh  yeah, that's right," then they both wisely   retreat, thus saving them from the wrath of  the Bear Bum. XD
  • Once I've counted down from 900 seconds, I swing myself over to the pot, announcing "Jacinta, I'm hungry." She immediately  comes; we get me kitted then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. After drinking almost one tall 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!

Friday Post 329

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2769  steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Plan For Prayer'; thirdly, TWFTT topic's 'Live In Day-tight   Compartments (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Ready For Christ's Return." Anyways, events for today?

  • Woo 8th consecutive sleep lastt nightt! Nature didn't call until 6:05am 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, since PIG mum’s overseas holidaying, I’m using the time to recharge my mental batteries and prepare for another year with her @ the helm! XD
  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P around 9am. Soon after that, dearest dad lets himself  into my room, kisses me awake and then gives me some eye goo before returning outside and awaiting Jane's arrival @ 9:30am.
  • After dearest dad lets Jane inside, he knocks, opens the bedroom door, sticks his head inside and says "Hi Em? Jane here now. Get up?" I reply "Fifteen more minutes!" and Daddy Bear imperiously flicks his paw 'shoo!' @ them! Dad laughs but wisely withdraws with Jane,  thus saving them from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
  • When Jane taps me up, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth, sit over the loo for  one tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P  table with Jane.
  • Breakfast is one yummy bowl of flaky Special K, one little yummy egg tart that Aunty Amy gave me last night, all my usual drugs :P and one tall cup of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*

  • After breakfastt, Jane covers me (both hands, face, front and back of neck) 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 Breathe for physio. Thanks to Jane who kindly helps me with my seatbelt all day.

  • Jane decides to sit in the room with us today instead of waiting in the car. Physio today: 1.578km bike ride, forty bar-assisted push ups with left weight shift, forty steps for Erf with more left weight shift, forty steps for Erf, forty v-bar cable rows for both hands, forty leg curls for Elf, forty leg curls for Erf, forty leg extensions for Elf, forty leg extensions, tennis catching and throwing for Era and boxing!

  • Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:

  • Bought groceries from Woolies Warrigal Square, got home for a shower then enjoyed a  bowl of the chicken I'd cooked yesterday with Ari on rice  and one big mug of white  tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey.

  • Used loo for two more tinkles @ 1:55pm then signed Jane off with my thanks and byes to Jane, who's back  next  Wednesday arvo for table tennis.

  • Did my daily Bible passage readings, used the loo for one tinkle then plopped online for myself.

  • Once I've used up my most important two hours online for today  I'll use the loo for one tinkle then head down to the gobbling :P table and ask dad for arvo tea. Won't have time to read for one hour since it's already 5pm.

  • Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 198TH time! 

  • Toms: Jacinta's minding me 9:30am till 1pm.  Presume we're buying my  honey chicken sushi roll for arvo  tea plus whatever groceries dad wants from Underwood MarketPlace Woolies.

  • Unsure will dad play table tennis with me toms arvo but pretty sure Jacinta will gimme three big mugs of white tea with  sweetener and I'm planning to  read for three hours toms;  Jane kindly already found the book for me!

  • Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
