Friday Post 608b

 Heylo again and good evening!  Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 4098 (sweet, I couldn't reach 3000 yesterday but today I've gone and done 4000; that doesn't happen very often! XD)   and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'An Obi Of Love'.  Righteo,   continuing tonight's events?

  • When I hear the garage door opening, I immediately stagger down the hallway as fast as I can:  dad's home!! I call baba?   When he answers, I immediately open the door and then immediately smother him with hugs and kisses; I've missed him   so much!!
  • Dad heads upstairs to rest while I wait for Dorrie to come and cook with me!
  • Today we make some kinda chicken noodle dish; photos are on Facebook.
  • When Dorrie leaves, I sit down to read for one hour and PIG mum passes me some arvo tea: one mouthful   of gloopy passionfruit, one plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea. I happily read the book club novel, reaching pg. 200 @ 3:08pm   and finishing pg.  222 @ 3:44pm.
  • I was about fifty minutes into reading when suddenly the doorbell rings! Since PIG mum's already hit pigland upstairs, I answer the door myself, yelling upstairs to PIG mum when I pass the staircase some's ringing the doorbell; please come down.
  • It's Aunty Deana! She's suddenly brought me a Hello Kitty showbag! I immediately introduce her to MEGA and then PIG mum invites her into the house for a sit.
  • While PIG mum's gasbagging @ her I silently read for ten more minutes since I like to read for one hour each day where possible and then I put down the book and join in the conversation too.
  • Before Aunty   Deana leaves, I ask her why did she tell her son to get a Hello Kitty  showbag for me; surely, knows I'm not a very girly girl? Aunty Deana roars with laughter   and says I told him to find a Minions one for you   but since they were already sold out and he's not met you before, he bought you the Hello Kitty one since you can't  go   wrong with Hello  Kitty for girls! XD
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Friday Post 608

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3800 steps (so will have hopefully reached 4000 steps before Friday ends); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'An/The Unshakably Happy God'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Don't Be Afraid Of Getting Old" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Seeing With God's Heart" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-TWO MINUTES  online  after  I   watch the 6pm  news bulletin  (Nine's)  for the 165TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7am when the noisy garbage truck THUNDERED down the road and woke me on the way to  tip 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*
  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddled and snored, me waking once again for the pot :P around 9am shortly before noisy 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 before going back outside and awaiting Asha's arrival only to return   shortly after and gimme fifteen more minutes, saying Asha's late! I immediately comply, asking her to please ring CODA should Asha have not arrived by 9:40am.
  • But phew, Asha arrives like two minutes later and I'm given fifteen more minutes again. When Asha returns, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle and ask Asha was she late coz she was stuck in traffic? No, she replies. Turns out she'd already had a shift before me!
  • Breakfast was one bowl of plain porridge mixed with warm healthy cereal and one slice of toast lightly spread with avocado and for some reason the PLATE sprinkled with salt (so I licked the plate clean after eating XD), all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • After breakfast, Asha walks behind me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing up the breakfast dishes for me. 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 Asha's passenger seat, she kindly helps me with my seatbelt then she tootles me off to Breathe for physio. 
  • Physio today: 2.112km bike ride, 36 bar-assisted pushups, 36 v-cable rows for both hands, 36 leg extensions for Elf, 36 leg curls for Elf, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing! I told Winnie about how I'd stacked it last Saturday and about my impressive bruise before asking did she wanna see but I added I hope not since it's nearly healed and it's Winter, I'm cold and don't really want to pull down my pants to you!  Winnie roared with laughter and said since you've said it's almost all better, that's fine. Phew! XD
  • After a   bathroom trip (CZ258 opens the female toilets, and the 2nd cubicle has an ambulant rail) Asha tootled me home and I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to   Asha who   helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, for lunch Asha made me one tuna in tomato and onion with TWO cheese, HEAVILY buttered on the inside and one big mug of white tea sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar, yay~
  • Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

  • Dinner tonight: rice but no greens! Don't worry: there was lotsa soupy carrot some baked beans and a bit of yummy pork.
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to   the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • When nature suddenly called @ 8:05pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

Thursday Post 608

 Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday's actually 3835 (on Wednesday I enjoyed my 2nd consecutive awesome sleep, bought groceries with PIG mum, played table tennis in the  arvo  and had a GG Bible study @ night); secondly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2222 steps (nice number, eh? Actually, 'twas 2221 but I stood up, took one step forward and then sat back down XD); thirdly, John Piper's daily devotional topic's from last night's "Jesus Is Who You're Looking For"; fourthly, TWFT topic's 'Show Kindness' and fifthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Feed The Need'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like the past three days, nature didn't call until 6:50am and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • Daddy Bear happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am, just before noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs.  Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before returning outside and waiting for Karina's arrival, only returning and telling me fifteen more minutes. Karin's late.
  • But Karina arrives like two minutes later and gives me fifteen more minutes?  After, when I was using the pot :P for one tinkle before we got me kitted, I asked her was she late since she'd been stuck in traffic? Only Karina replied I wasn't late! Must remember to   ask    PIG mum about that~
  • I  went next door to the bathroom   and brushed teeth (thanks to  Karina who  squirted me  some toothpaste), sat  over  the loo for one tinkle,  washed and dried Era then walked out  to  the gobbling :P table with Karina,  rousing  @ her for not eating  any  breakfast and informing  her that she'd  buy  food for herself while we were out grocery shopping for PIG mum.  XD
  • For my breakfast I munch one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and for some reason the PLATE sprinkled with salt (hence why I lick the plate clean afterwards XD), all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • After breakfast, Karina accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing up breakfast dishes  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 Karina's car. Thanks to her who kindly helps me buckle my seat both ways and she tootles us off to  Rochedale Coles for grocery shopping.

  • Aww, isn't Karina sweet? Since I was grumpy @ horrid PIG mum for not letting us grab lunch from Ho Lin Wah before coming home, Karina grabbed a trolley for us and then we walked past the Coles to   some sushi place and she shouted me a kaarage chicken sushi roll for morning tea while she got herself two rice paper rolls!'

  • Our main stop before returning home was buying groceries from Coles.  Huge thanks to Karina who  lemme sit while she took our items through the self-serve checkout; wonder why dad won't?

  • Back home, I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today.  Also thanks to Karina who kindly helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was one yummy salmon in onion and tomato  toastie with TWO cheese cut into two rectangles; thanks also to Karina who found where PIG mum keeps the powdered HK-style milk tea and poured one cup for me.

  • After I finished lunch, I asked Karina please to massage Ela. Karina's daughter has some kinda unique name like Shaianne? 

  • At 1:55pm I sat over the loo once more for two tinkles before plopping online then signing Karina off with my thanks and byes.  She's back next Thursday and taking me to GCCW!

  • Best of  all, it's ice cream  night tonight; like I  say every week,  a very little's better than none @ all!

  • Toms: Asha's minding me from 98:30am till 2pm and taking me to physio @ Breathe with Winnie.  Hopefully we can buy groceries afterwards before coming home for a shower and lunch else I don't see how I'll pass two grand.

  • After she leaves Dorrie's coming and we're cooking some chicken dish!

  • Looking forward to eating it, reading for one hour and watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 165TH time; that's provided I get to watch the news (Nine's) for the 164TH time tonight!

  • Anyways, hopefully bbl tonight else wishing  everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
