Saturday Post 438

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2861 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Afra Of Death No More'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'You Can Overcome The Temptation (2)'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Being Finishers In Christ' and fifthly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Just Desserts' but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIVE MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:20am 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*
• Pijum, Pearl and I returned to happy snorings, me waking around 9am for the pot :P once more before waiing for PIG mum to come help me up. When she doesn't appear by 9:15am I bang the wall and call for her, since I don't wanna be back in bed less than twelve hours after UI got out else I'll feel like that I've wasted the whole day! ><" PIG mum appears and helps with absolutely nothing but the bar strap and then leaves me to pull everything else on. Whilst complying, 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*
• For some reason, today PIG mum refuses to help even with my footwear? Luckily, I fix the AFO straps so that Elf doesn't hurt and stuff the laces into the shoe lest they become a tripping hazard and exit the bedroom by 9:45pm; phew, day not wasted!
• After brushing teeth, I 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 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 my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast with an extremely thin bed of avocado underneath, one full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and my first mug of white tea with one squirt of honey. First up, I read for thirty minutes and then I happily played the HP version of Bejeweled and passed two levels!
• After one tinkle, I climbed into the backseat of the 4WD and buckled my seatbelt. Dad tootled us off to Underwood MarketPlkace and parked around the side.
• First we bought groceries from Woolies and them PIG mum took me once to the loo before we ate a lil lunch @ the food court. Two half sushi roolls and ten strands of udon for me~
• Back home I use the loo for one more tinkle and then climb back into the backseat of the 4WD; dad tootles off to church to play table tennis together!
• Aunty Caryly's back! Even better, today dad lemme win since Uncle Simon was coaching me. XD
• Back home, I take a nice hot shower - I wash and rinse my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sing 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I'm all done after only 10% but happily lean fully against the right side-rail and water myself for another tinkle before calling PIG mum back and tapping the nice hot water off.
• After PIG mum dried my back and the back of the chair for me, I do everything else and she doesn't feature again until my bra strap needs doing up,Elf's AFO straps need sticking and both laces need tying.
• After I dried the loo seat, I sat for ne tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped both feet dry washed and dried Era and then walked myself slowly and safely back out to the gobbling :P table, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Enjoying my delicious honey chicken sushi roll and my other big mug of white tea with one spoonful of honey, I happily read for another 2.5 hours, since it's only Saturdays I can spend a blessed three hours reading! I reached pg. 300 @ 3:38pm, reached pg. 325 @ 4:28pm, reached pg. 333 @ 4:57, reached pg. 350 @ exactly 5:30pm and after  dinner I reached pg375 @  6:48pm!
• Dad invited all his badminton mates over for a BBQ tonight! Two are Japanese ladies; I practised all my paltry Japanese on them. XD
• Luckily PIG mum saved me a mouthful of rice for dinner~
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 438c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 3414. Aww, not quite 3.5 grand. Another day, perhaps. XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I started drafting my newest GCCW homework.
• At 9pm, I walked myself once slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Toms: hope PIG mum helps me up before 9:45pm ...
• Forgot to ask dad will he take me to play table tennis @ church toms? He's got his badminton mates coming for like a BBQ toms so if he can't, expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
• Hopefully PIG mum'll take me out to buy a sushi roll for arvo tea and I'm planning to spend three hours reading toms!
• Also looking forward to my two mugs of white tea with two sugars~
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em.

Friday Post 438b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 3339 (aww, how come I couldn't have plodded six steps fewer? 3333 would've looked cooler! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Use Water Wisely'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• When the parents summoned me for dinner, I noted the time, used the loo for one tinkle and 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, lotsa yummy cauliflower, lotsa soup carrot and one piece of   tasteless soup pork. We'd started eating before remembering the pie I'd cooked earlier with Dorrie! PIG mum gave me two lil pieces of chicken and one tiny piece of pastry; she'd better gimme a proper slice toms! 
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself sloely and safely back online, again 1rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Righteo, hopefully bbl shortly after one final loo trip with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for toms plus what's happening Saturday else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 438

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3136 steps (ha, I'm over three grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Our Weakness Reveals His Worth'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'You Can Overcome The Temptation (1)'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "A Child's Hope" and fifthly, even though I've used this  new e-mail address for just over one month I've still not got any spam yet but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-SIX MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 147TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:05am 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*

• Shortly after 9am, nature calls again. After another pot :P trip, sleep doesn't return before noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs and soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Mercy's arrival @ 9:30am.
• After PIG mum lets Mercy in, Mercy knocks, opens the door and calls out goood morning. When I flop one of Pijum's ear @ her, Mercy asks fifteen more minutes? Another earflop from Pijum and Mercy leaves; phew, since  Pijum's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
• When Mercy comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted before I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I walk out to the gobbling :P table with Mercy.
• Breakfast is one bowl of plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) multigrain toast, 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 the passenger seat of Mercy's car and she tootles us off to Underwood Park for a hike around the duck pond! Thanks to her who helps me buckle my seatbelt all day
• At the Park, Mercy snaps photos for me @ the entrance and then we hike all the way around to the sunlounges, where I spend one happy hour Facebooking and playing the HP version of Bejeweled; I pass another two/three levels!
• Our other stop before leaving's the Warrigal Square Woolies for groceries; Mercy grabs a trolley for us and also buys herself a container of mini croissants for her own lunch.
• Back home I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks too Mercy who helped me rinse out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. Have I said yet? Mercy's only twenty-five, from Kenya and studying her MBA!
• Dried, creamed and rekitted lunch is one bowl of rice leftovers and one huge mug of peppermint tea.
• At 1:55pm I sit over the loo for two more tinkles and then say my thanks and byes to Mercy @ 2pm, who's got a sleepover shift tonight! Mercy lives in Thornlands, wherever that is~
• Dorrie came and made chicken pie with me! PIG mum came downstairs exactly one hour later and shooed her away then finished the pie herself while I munched a banana and half a tasty rice cracker for arvo tea. I also happily read for one hour, reaching pg. 275 @ 3:52pm.
• One loo trip and tinkle for me before I plopped online.
• Toms: fingers crossed PIG mum helps me up before 9:45am ...
• Wonder will dad take us to play table tennis @ church? Mostly I'm just hoping he'll take us to a proper restaurant for lunch!
• Perhaps I can read for three hours toms? Dad's got all his badminton mates over for dinner and PIG mum's gonna try make some flan!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 438d

 Good evening!  Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 4161 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Two Crows'. Righteo, events for today?

• Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:20am 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*
• Pijum, Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P again around 9am shortly before PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soin, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with not only the bra strap but the tee (since dearest dad's @ home) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• Oh, and I had my 2nd FOOD DREAM for 2024; I'm sitting inside Uncle Alan's car and one of his daughter's passes me a Lindt chocolate ball!! :D :D :D 
• PIG mum comes back to finish with only Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Breakfast is one bowl of plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) multigrain toast, 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.

• Actually, Uncle James arrived just as we were leaving! Meaning he'd missed the afternoon's playing but was in time for his own training~
