Thursday Post 468c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight!  Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 4446. Aww, how come I couldn't have walked two steps fewer?? 4444 would've been a cooler plodding total!! XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post I started reading the first competition entry! TBH I didn't really like it ... XD
• At 9pm I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, again always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Tonight's ice cream night, yay! Like I say every week, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Toms: Peggy's minding me 8-2 and taking me to the NAB for two hours' physio. Monika says in the second hour I can hike the Great Court and Kat says she'll gimme a giant Freddo Frog provided I do 250 reps first! I've just replied I'm pretty sure that hiking around the Great Court once takes more than 250 steps so deal! XD
• Tiff's coming to give Ela one hour of unfunctional hand exercises. Sorry, I've still not remembered the student's name yet. XD
• Should I spend my most important two hours online before reading for one hour and asking PIG mum please for some arvo tea/other way around?
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing end to the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 4344 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Saturate Yourself With The Word'. Righteo, continuing today's events?

• After posting an update onto Facebook and using the disabled loo for one more tinkle, Karina and I  started shopping, first @ Woolies then upstairs @ Woolies, in between popping into New York Baguette and grabbing my chocolate custard bun.
• Sweet Karina found a free spot right outside Ho Lin Wah's entrance, prolly coz we were so early!
• The Chinese waitress that tries really hard to tell me what the set meals are  in Canto was working today but her accent hasn't improved whatsoever because while I managed to translate the first meal to Karina as black bean chicken rice, I couldn't for the life of me translate the second set meal!  XD  In the end, she grabbed the menu proper, found the dish and said "pork with garlic sauce rice." XD I had the  B meal with a cold HK-style milk tea while Karina had some kinda beef stir-fry egg noodle with two Cokes.
• Back home I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Thanks also to Karina who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. Disappointment's seeing that PIG mum's already laid out pajamas for me; means we'd not dinner out tonight. *sigh*
• After getting dried, creamed and rekitted and I headed back out to the gobbling :P table and Karina cleaned the bathroom. When she came back she fed me the chocolate custard bun plus one mug of yummy peppermint tea.
• Afternoon tea finished, I sat over the loo for two tinkles, while sneaky dad signed Karina off two minutes early and shooed  her away. She's back same time next Thursday.
• After sitting over the loo for two tinkles, I walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Happily watched the 6pm bulletin (Nine's) for the 122ND time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post. Dad tried summoning me to dinner @ 6:45pm; I said if you can't wait fifteen more minutes please eat first and I'll come once the news finishes.
• Before dinner, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle then over to the gobbling :P table, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy cabbage, lotsa sweet soup carrot, one small mouthful of very chewy pork and two wee slices of tasty soft cheese. PIG mum finished dinner first and immediately crashed on the sofa and watched YouTube; when dearest dad joined her, I let Ela drop from the table to rest on my lap and propped both legs up onto the footrest. XD
• Dinner was spooned down with half a bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over  to the sink I 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.
• Righteo, hopefully bbl  after one last loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening Friday, else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 368

 Good afternoon! Firstly, my final, final plodding total from Wednesday's actually 3302; secondly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4023 steps (ha, I'm just over four grand; that doesn't happen too often! XD); thirdly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Afraid Of Death No More'; fourthly, TWFT topic's 'Are You Being Sifted?' and fifthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-TWO MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 122ND time!! Anyways, just briefly, let's cover yesterday's events first!

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night; nature didn't call until 7am~
• Saw Ray for some acupuncture and massage, bought groceries @ the Warrigal Square Woolies, went to play table tennis and attended GG last night, seven people came and we did a study from  Nehemiah chapter six~
• Got home, repeat the usual nightly events and zzz~
• Today: nature called around 12:45am last night; I used the pot :P again around 6:30am before immediately falling back asleep since Karina would arrive exactly one hour later!
• Like clockwork, noisy PIG mum going a-THUMPING around @ 7:20am awakes me for another pit :P trip, after which I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• PIG mum lets herself into my room and hits me with the eye goo just before Karina arrives. Once PIG mum lets her in, she knocks, pushes open the door, says good morning and hitting the snooze button for fifteen more minutes ... I flap Pijum's ear @ her and phew, she wisely removes herself. Phew because Pijum's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear  Bum. XD
• When Karina comes back, I use the loo for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and I head over to brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who's squirted some toothpaste for me. Teeth brush, I sit over the loo, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Karina, rousing @ her AGAIN for skipping breakfast; the bad woman! >< XD
• Breakfast is one bowl of plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast shredded into it, 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 sit once more over the loo. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into Karina's passenger seat, she kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt (and does all day) then tootles me off to Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtowqn for my fortnightly shopping trip, finding the first disabled park from the library.
• I used the disabled loo for one tinkle, found Colleen MacCullough's Tidelands and happily read for one hour while Karina went to look for the groceries PIG mum was after today. 
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 367d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 3178. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• PIG mum arrived home right after I'd published the previous post. She said she got home so late since she had to drive Ping Yee home first.
• At 9pm I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Joey reminded me that I'd put the lollies she gave me inside my vest pocket! XD Pity mean PIG mum won't come and open it for me ... *sigh*
• Toms: seeing Ray for some acupuncture and massage toms morning; bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him.
• Suppose we'll buy groceries before coming home for lunch; Bree's coming @ 2pm and taking me to play table tennis. If there's cake, I'd better not have NAB physio again and miss out!
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news for the 121ST time before wolfing down dinner and dad drives me to Dr. Lee'a for  GG Bible study!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!

Tuesday Post 367c

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 3101 (ha, I'm over three grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'For God So Loved The World...' Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• Once the news was over, I headed over to the gobbling :P table and joined dearest dad for dinner: rice, lotsa yummy cauliflower, two chunks of tasty carrot, three little chunks  of pork, one lil slice of taro and one small chunk (about 1/4) of battered oven-baked fish smeared with a lil dollop of mayo.
• Dinner was washed down with one cup of water; after using the loo for one tinkle I climbed into the passenger seat of dad's 4WD since he had worship rehearsal @ the Kwok residence! Originally I was like can't I just stay @ home by myself but both parents immediately say 'no'; they must think I'll burn the house down if left on my lonesome. XD But I'm wearing pajamas! I protest. Dad says don't worry, it's only Uncle Calvin.
• Turns out Pole's there with both her boys! I'm very impressed that Zebby remembered that I was Aunty Em. XD
• Ezra brought his book over to me: Did YOU Do This Poo? I read it out loud amidst many giggles. XD
• Pole took the boys upstairs to put them to bed and Joey poured me one cup of water. She tells me Rise have lunch together twice a month because the hall they rent has a commercial kitchen!
• When we left Pole was still upstairs with the boys and I didn't wanna call upstairs and disturb them so just asked Joey to pass on my good nights to her~
• 8:40pm and PIG mum's still not home ... did she like drag her badminton pals out to dinner??
• Anyways, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms else wishing everyone a smashing Wednesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
