Saturday Post 611c

 Good evening again   and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4375. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

  • At 9pm, I walk 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: PIG mum's gonna help me up, since @ 8:30am some Caroline Kennedy's taking me to   compete in the first  para-table tennis competition for this year instead of attending church! Neither PIG mum nor I remember her but Michelle says she used to look after me before she took maternity leave!
  • There's a Domino's pizza there but PIG mum has ordered I get Subway. *sigh*
  • Braced for a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum ... *another sigh*
  • Wonder where dad'll take us for our once-weekly family dinner out together? It's been an unsuccessful pre-birthday month.; we're near the end of the month and it feels like I've not enjoyed a proper meal out yet. *sigh number three*
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing end to   the weekend toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
    P.S. Maybe expect a super-pissy plodding  total from me? Using  Sparkless3 toms~

Saturday Post 611b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4283 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Splash-overs Of Heaven'. Righteo,  continuing  events for today?

  • Once Sharon arrives, I roll  outta bed and use the pot :P for one more tinkle. Once we get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom, asking Sharon please to bring me a cup of water while I brush teeth. That done, I drink the water then 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 head out to the gobbling :P table. For breakfast, I enjoy my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of   dry (unbuttered) toast, drink another tall cup of water, pop all my usual drugs :P and enjoy my first big mug of white tea sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar.  While Sharon makes my bed for me, I happily read the book club novel for thirty minutes first up, reaching pg.350 @ 10:38am.
  • After reading for thirty minutes, Sharon slathered my face and both arms with sunscreen then walked behind me back   to the bathroom then returned to the dining room to close and lock windows.
  • I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then climb into the passenger seat of Sharon's car. Did you know, she's born in the CNY of the Rabbit, just like me; I'm twelve years her senior!
  • Sharon tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace, parks around the side and grabs a trolley for us.
  • Didn't see Hambo today and originally the checkout dude wouldn't slip me a Woolies card pack when I asked but when his receipt machine stuffed up and we had to   wait, he gave me one! :D
  • Back home, I took a nice warm shower -   hairwash today. Also thanks to Sharon who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was the omelette I'd cooked with Dorrie but sandwiched between two slices of toast - delicious! Thanks to Sharon who made me two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar.
  • Over and after lunch I happily continued reading, reaching pg. 375 @ 12:39pm.
  • At 12:35pm, I sat once more over the loo for two tinkles then Sharon tootled me off to church to play table tennis with dearest dad~
  • Once seated inside I signed Sharon off with my thanks and byes. She's back next fortnight Saturday same time~
  • Had great fun playing table tennis with dearest dad; he even lemme win - in straight sets! Will   take that   as a good omen for the table tennis competition toms. XD Only he plays too violently: I copped body shots @ least four times!  ><" XD
  • After dad tootled me home I used the loo  for one tinkle,  washed and dried Era then  sat  down to  read for a good long while, since it's only Saturdays that I can   spend a blessed three hours reading~

  • I FINISHED THE  BOOK @ 2:41!! 

  • Sharon was awesome and found me ScareCrow And The Army Of Thieves to keep reading; I reached page fifty @ exactly 4:10!
  • After I'd spent three hours reading I used the loo for one tinkle, plopped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 38TH time! All the things I like recording are in the previous post. Oh, and Uncle Slam appeared for dinner:  he's collecting Anna from the airport (flying back from Singapore tonight) toms morning!
  • Once the news ended, I used the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era then 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 lettuce/broccoli and three delicious chunks of chicken with that ginger and shallot oil.
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • PIG mum suddenly comes overbearing a cup of sesame dessert soupo she'd blended tonight for me plus a little forkful of delicious CNY cake from our neighbour!
  • Righteo,  hopefully  brb after 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 Sunday ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 611

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4183 steps (sweet that's the second consecutive day I'm over four grand!); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Amazed @ The Resurrection'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Do It All For The Glory Of God (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily   Bread's devotional topic's 'Remembering To  Forget' but fifthly  and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TEN MINUTES online after I watch  the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 38TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, what better way to start the weekend then with my 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night? Like yesterday,  nature didn't call until  6:20am  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*
  • After nature called again around 7:45am, following another pot :P trip 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*

  •  Nature calls once more around 9:15am and not long after that, PIG mum begins her daily noisy   a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room around 9:30am and say fifteen more minutes since once Sharon arrives @ 9:45am, I'll get up.
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

Friday Post 611d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 4782. Righteo, final, final events for   tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post, I had fifteen minutes to mindlessly play Puppy Match.
  • Suddenly PIG mum says I'm gonna practise calligraphy! You wanna try?  I reply sure, I'll come @ 9pm.
  • At 9pm I head over to the gobbling :P table and scrawl  dai  (in Canto: big). XD Then I walk 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: Sharon's minding me 9:45am till 1pm. Just going to buy my arvo  tea sushi; PIG mum hasn't checked the Woolies catalogue yet.
  • Sharon should give me one big mug of white tea with sweetener for breakfast and two after shower; she did last fortnight!
  • Looking forward to playing table tennis with dearest dad then going home and reading all arvo; surely, after reading for three hours I'll have finished the book!! Can't help but hate myself so badly for reading so   slowly post brain injury. >< *sigh*
  • But will skip watching the 6pm news for the 38TH time should I get to read for three hours since I've also gotta complete my daily Bible readings!
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
    Cheers,

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 4587 (ha, I'm just over 4.5 grand too; that's even less common than 4000! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Joy Of The Lord'. Anyways, continuing today's events?

  • Breakfast for me: just one dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P, all my usual drugs :P and one tall cup  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 becau se of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • After breakfast, Jane slathers my face and both hands with sunscreen   then accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast stuff up. 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 Sarah (Jane's car wears the license plate SAZ) and she tootles me off to Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown,  finding  a park along level three and grabbing a shopping trolley for us.
  • First, we buy groceries from Woolies and then sweet, I get to read for fifty-five minutes in the library; best of all, Jane sees me seated before fetching Feist's Queen of Storms for me!  Today I reached page twenty-five @ 11:33am and stopped @ pg. thirty-nine.
  • 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 one bowl of tasteless rice leftovers plus one huge mug of like Irish breakfast tea; very fragrant!
  • At 1:55pm I sat once more over the loo for two tinkles before signing Jane off with my thanks and byes; she's back next Wednesday for table tennis but tonight she's driving up to the Sunshine Coast with her partner for the weekend since she's got family up there plus a new baby nephew to meet!
  • Dorrie came and made a Spanish omelette with me and next week; we're making chicken wraps!
  • After PIG mum shooed her away precisely @ 4pm, she gave me some fruit, one plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea for arvo tea.
  • Happily read the Thursday Murder Club for one hour, reaching pg. 325 @ exactly 3:55pm and reaching pg.  333 @ 4:09pm.
  • Used the loo for one tinkle, plopped online and did my daily Bible readings.
  • Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 37TH time. All the things I like recording are in today's first post.
  • When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner @ 7:24pm, I used the loo for one tinkle then walk 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 soup carrot, lotsa little tong vegetable, (PIG mum tried to sneak in one piece of   celery but I flicked it back to her! >< XD) and like three teaspoonfuls of the  omelette I'd cooked with Dorrie! Turns out Spanish omelettes come with POTATO, and I've asked PIG mum toms may I please have more omelette with toast??
  • 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.

  • 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 weekend ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Friday Post 611b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4452. Lol, trust I'll have reached 4.5 grand before the night's out! XD Righteo, potential final, final events for Friday?

  • Once Jane arrives, she knocks, opens the door, calls "Good morning, Em, fifteen more minutes" then leaves immediately after I nod Mini Pearl @ her, meaning I haven't the time to flick Mini Pearl's body 'shoo' @ her! XD
  • When Jane comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying  Era, I head out  to  the gobbling :P table with Jane, who tells me that she had a breakfast bar for her morning meal.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Friday Post 611

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4358 steps (ooh, 2nd consecutive day I'm over four grand; not bad! XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's "The Kind Of Cold That Kills" (seems familiar?); thirdly, TWFT topic's "Free from The Shame Of The Past" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Living  For Jesus' but fifthly  and way most importantly, I'm really still owed  ONE HOUR and THIRTY MINUTES online after I watch  the 6pm  news bulletin (Nine's) for the 37TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • What better way to end the week than with my first awesome sleep in three days? Not only but I also awoke with a DREAM; my 3rd FOOD DREAM: I'm EATING an orange slice! :D But the biggest relief's that I awoke feeling much better than yesterday; phew~
  • Nature didn't call until 6:20am 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*
  • Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, nature calling once again around 7:45am and once more just before 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 (I immediately share with her my newest food dream :D XD) before returning outside and awaiting Jane's arrival @ 9:30am.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
