Monday Post 480

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2395 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic's 'Hold Fast To Your Hope'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Value Of One Lost Sheep' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Being Thankful Despite Trials'. Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 14TH consecutive awesome sleep last night; that's the 14TH time this year that I've enjoyed one straight week of awesome sleeps! :D Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 5:25am (love how early the Sun rises now even though Summer hasn't officially arrived yet) 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*
• Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P just after 9am, shortly before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum returns to finish only with Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom to 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 the less yummy (so sticky) bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully sprinkled with some salt plus 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*
• After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the loo, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum checks it's buckled correctly and then tootles me off to Ray's for some massage and acupuncture. She brings along my medals, too! XD
• At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle before lying down for some massage and acupuncture. I happily show off to him my clinky medals and then PIG mum takes over and yaps her head off @ him. XD She controls her excitement pretty well today and only excitedly repeats one syllable four times! 
• After another loo trip, PIG mum tootles us back to the Warrigal Square Woolies, where we collect the free Bunch sample on offer - some Woolies brand meatlover pizza! When I tell PIG mum it feels kinda impolite to just grab sth free and leaves, she buys a pack of wet wipes, too. XD
• Yay, dearest dad's already home too when we get back! While the pizza's baking in the oven, I happily play the HP version of Bejeweled and pass three levels!
• For lunch, I get two slices of pizza (we've added extra cheese and pineapple), two spoonfuls of tinned fruit salad and one huge mug of green tea.
• Lunch finished, I used the loo for one more tinkle and then 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.
• Lena's minding me from 3:30pm till 5:30pm today. Feels like I've not seen her for awhile?
• Looking forward to reading for one hour and hopefully watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 194TH time!
• Toms: PIG mum'll help me up, since  Monicah's not coming till 10am and taking me to Breathe for physio @ 11am.
• Presuming we're buying groceries @ Coles Pinelands afterwards; fingers crossed PIG mum'll lemme buy a crunchy pork bahn mi for lunch even though Aunty Nancy's already gone until next year!
• Looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online and reading for  one hour before Nisha takes me to Toastmasters; even more excitingly, since it'll be the last university meeting of the year, PIG mum had better lemme get a MILKSHAKE  with my Unhappy Meal!!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing  day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• After publishing the previous post, I read and shared the She Reads Truth devotional.
• 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: PIG mum'll help me up, since I've got a mid/late-morning to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Bet she's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him. XD

Sunday Post 480c

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2069 (See? Told you I'd pass two grand!  XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'A Sacrifice Of Thanks'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• When the parents called dinnertime, I used the loo for one tinkle and then climbed into the backseat of the car. Thanks to PIG mum who helped me with my seatbelt both ways this time, since I've got crappy night vision.
• Lol, for the third consecutive Sunday, dinner was @ Ho Lin Wah; luckily the food there's awesome! Tonight I enjoyed just over one bowl of the B set meal (fried chicken drumstick with vegies in rice), about half a bowl of fried ho fan in egg sauce, one slice of shallot pancake, one cup of Chinese tea and just over one mouthful of HK-style milk tea. PIG mum jeered @ me for taking a photo of the HK-style milk tea but couldn't forbid me from posting it, since it's not offensive. You  gotta take your victories where you can get 'em! XD
• Dad tootled us back home and I walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Anyways, hopefully bbl after  one more tinkle @ 9pm following one more loo trip with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms, else wishing everyone a smashing Monday  (and week) ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 480b

 Heylo again, good afternoon again and potentially one final greeting for today! Emm's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 1957. Lol, promise I'll have passed two grand before the night's out XD Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• Once my most important two hours of the day were up, I used the loo for one tinkle and then sat @ the gobbling :P to read and wait for PIG mum to finish her arvo nap and read for one hour.
• Today I reached pg. 125 @ 3:04pm; for arvo tea, PIG mum gave me one yummy banana, one chunk of delicious mango pudding from some church aunty and one huge mug of green tea from Aunty Nga.
• Took a nice warm shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was all done after only 10% but happily leaned fully against the right-side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before flipping the nice warm water off and called PIG mum back.
• After she dried my back and the back of the chair for me, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until my bra strap needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking, and both laces needed tying.
• Once I dried the loo lid, I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped both feet dry, washed and dried Era and then walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 193RD time!
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 480

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1817 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'When God Swears By God'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'What Kind Of Neighbour Are You?' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Character Change'. Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 13TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 5:25am (my favourite thing about the warmer month's prolly how early the Sun rises! ^^) 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.

• Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P around 7am, just before PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself  into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the  bar strap (even though dearest dad's just  outside in the dining room eating breakfast she won't help me with the tee ><) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after  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.

• Breakfast is one bowl of Minus :P and yummy flaky Special K with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully sprinkled with some 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.

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

•  After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum checks and then tootles us off to church, parking under the service hall. I haul myself up the ramp, use the second cubicle of the disabled loo once myself (since both the disabled cubicle and first cubicle have lids closed but mean PIG mum won't help me lift it), wash and dry both hands and then grab my usual spot for service on the most left.
• Yay I get to stay seated for worship today. I sing everything, plus the harmony for three songs, but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today's Tyvus; his sermon topic's Second Chance (about Jonah and the Ninevites).
• After communion, PIG mum returned with my medals! I put them on, used the disabled loo once myself, grabbed a piece of morning tea and then sat outside the service hall.
• PIG mum wouldn't lemme clank my medals together but the gold was shiny and some church peoples, like Aunty Mel, came for a looksee!
• Around midday, dad hauled me off to Hungry Jack's for lunch with him. I shook a milkshake (but dad demanded we share and drank most of it himself >< hmph) but he got me a Whopper Junior (he had a regular Whopper Himsel) only I only got seven chips! What a rip-off ... *sigh*
• Back home I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Once I've used up the most important two hours of the day, I'll use the loo for one tinkle and then sit @ the gobbling :P table to read for one hour and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo  tea.
• Toms: presuming PIG mum'll help me up since I'm pretty sure I'm seeing Ray for some acupuncture and massage toms morning.
• Hopefully she'll take me grocery shopping before we have lunch @ home with dearest dad else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
• Lena's minding me from 3:30pm till 5:30pm toms arvo.
• Hoping to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 193RD   time!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!

Saturday Post 480c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4752. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After I dried the loo seat, I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped both feet dry, washed and dried Era and then walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 192ND time. All the things I like recording are in today's first post.
• When summoned for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely 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.
• After the usual dinner, I drank soup, took bowl to sink and returned online, only coming back to the gobbling :P table when I realised that I'd forgotten to read for fifteen more minutes! XD Love how I  can spend three hours on Saturday with my nose buried in a book~
• 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: just church, definitely nothing special. Actually, the special thing's that I wanna bring my medals to church to show off! XD Unsure why PIG mum won't lemme wear them till after service has ended, but hey.
• Would love lunch out with other ESS people afterwards bur braced for a pissy little cheeseburger with dad @ Hungry Jack's. *sigh*
• Also braced for a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum. *another sigh*
• But dad had better take us out for CHINESE food for dinner  and gimme ONE bowl of rice!! *three consecutive sighs*
• Anyways, looking forward  to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 480b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4604 (sweet I'm even over 4.5 grand; that doesn't happen too often!) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'An Unfolding Adventure' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-THREE MINUTES online after I visit the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, continuing events for today?

•  Nature calls again around 9am, shortly before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye gfoo and help me 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. Whilst doing so, 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 PIG mum comes back to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I drink one tall cup of water and sit over the loo proper. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I  walk myself slowly and safely out to the bathroom, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Breakfast is my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast under one very thin layer of avocado, one mug of delicious French earl grey with vanilla sweetened with some honey, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water.  Happiness was reading for thirty minutes first up (I reached pg. fifty @ exactly 10:25am) and then dearest dad tootled PIG mum and I off to Arndale for grocery shopping @ Coles and lunch @ food court!
• After visiting the loo back @ home once, dad tootled me off to church to play table tennis with him! I brought along my medals to show off; pity only two people came to play today other than us. XD But dad lemme win, so I told PIG mum didn't haveta bok baba for me. XD
• Back home I use the loo for one tinkle and then sit @ the gobbling :P table to enjoy my second cup of white tea with honey, munch my honey chicken sushi roll and hopefully read for another 2.5 hours, since it's only Saturday that I can spend a blessed three hours reading~ I finished pg. seventy-five @ 3:31, reached pg. 100 @ exactly 4:30pm and started part two @ exactly 4:45pm.
• When PIG mum ordered I shower, I noted down that I had fifteen more minutes to read and headed into the bathroom.
• So a nice warm shower for me - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 15% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
• I had  one tinkle before I tapped  off  the nice warm water and called PIG mum back; after she dried my back and the back of the chair for me, she didn't feature again until Elf's AFO  straps  needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
