Friday Post 610c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 4885. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

  • Once Liam left, I sat down to munch arvo  tea (less than banana since dad chopped both ends off; apparently the banana was off?, one plain cracker and one big, delicious mug of New York breakfast tea) and start reading The Thursday Murder Club for one hour! Today I reached page twenty-five @ 4:04pm and I'm planning to read the book for three hours toms; it's awesome!
  • Used the loo for one tinkle, plopped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 30TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of today's first post.
  • When   PIG mum summoned me for dinner @ 7:19pm 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: rice, lotsa  little tong vegetable,  lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup tomato,  lotsa soup onion and several tiny chunks of delicious pork chop.
  • 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 randomly called @ 8:20/8:40am I walked myself once 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.
  • At 9pm I   walk myself slowly and safely once more to the loo for one last 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:  Jane's minding me am till 1pm.  PIG mum says we'll buy my  arvo tea honey chicken sushi roll plus anymore groceries she wants from   Woolies; fingers crossed she'll lemme use Sparkless3 and I can WINDOW SHOP!! :D
  • Jane will see me home, showered and fed with lunch  before dropping me off @ church  to play table tennis with  dearest  dad @ 1pm.
  • Looking forward to  getting home and reading  all  arvo while munching my honey   chicken sushi  roll; it's  only Saturdays I   can spend a blessed three  hours  with my nose buried  in  a book!
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing weeklend ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4690 (4th consecutive day I'm over four grand and 2nd consecutive day I'm over 4.5 grand; woot!) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "God's Peace". Righteo,   continuing tonight's events?

  • After PIG mum lets Jane inside @ 9:30am, Jane knocks, pushes open the door and calls "Good morning, Em; fifteen more minutes." Mini Pearl nods back @ her and Jane's quick; she's already shut the door and left before he can flick his body 'shoo' @ her!" XD
  •  When Jane comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle and we get me kitted before I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Jane, who tells me that she had her usual breakfast smoothie for her morning meal.
  • For my breakfast, I munch one bowl of healthy cereal with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with avocado and lightly sprinkled with 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. 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 covers my face and both hands with sunscreen then accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing up the breakfast dishes. Over the loo proper, 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 Sarah (SAZ is Jane's car's license plate number XD) and Jane tootles me off to Breathe for physio. Aww, today I feel loved:  Connor greets me on arrival!

  • Physio today: 1.879km bike, forty bar-assisted push-ups, forty steps for Erf, forty steps for Elf, forty v-bar cable, forty leg extensions for Elf. Forty leg curls for Elf, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing!

  • After one loo trip (the toilet was already unlocked this morning, meaning Jane didn't   need to press CZ258 into the keypad) Jane tootled me off to  Rochedale  Coles to buy cooking ingredients and I used Sparkless3, meaning I got to   WINDOW SHOP!! Not that Woolies offers much in terms of window shopping. XD

  • Back home, I took a nice warm shower -   hairwash today. Also thanks to Jane 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 toastie with TWO cheese and one big, delicious mug of New York breakfast although sadly without any sweetener since the parents have hidden it. *sigh*

  • At 1:55pm I sit over the loo for two more tinkles then sign Jane off with my thanks and byes. She's back toms 9:30am till 1pm~

  • When Liam arrived, he'd bought a wheelie walker for me to try using! Unsure why PIG mum was so negative about it? Sure, back in 2008 Ela was too unco to hold on, but today I walked down the hallway with Liam holding Ela and I reckon she did okay! 

  • I'm just upset that my typing speed has slowed; post brain-injury I thought Era could manage 31WPM but today she only managed twenty-seven. >< Should I get into typing practice to   bring that back up?
    Cheers,
    Em.    ^^

Friday Post 610

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4465 steps (so should have passed 4.5 grand before the night's out); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's Lincoln's Providence (seems familiar?); thirdly, TWFT topic's "Live By The Principles Of God's Word" and fourthly, Our Daily devotional topic's 'Be Careful!' but fifthly   and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 30TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 5th consecutive sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:10am, 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*
  • Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P again around 7:45am   when dearest dad kisses me bye and retucks me back into bed, saying he's off to church/Uncle Calvin's place for work.
  • Another hour's cuddling and happy snoring for Mini Pearl and me, nature calling once more around 9am just 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 before returning outside and awaiting Jane's arrival @ 9:30am.
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^
