Sunday Post 610

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2442 steps (so certain I'll have passed 2.5 grand before the night's out XD); secondly, John Piper's daily   devotional topic from last night's 'Christ As Means And End'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Pray For A Divine Revelation' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's 'Handle With  Care'. Anyways, events for today?

• Grr! I was ONE sleep from achieving the 4th time I'd achieved one straight week of consecutive awesome sleeps but idiot nature called @ 12:20am and ruined it! >< *sigh* Wonder why she called again around 3am with another full bladder? Doesn't matter; aside from that, 'twas a sound sleep~
• Following another pot :P  trip    after the Sun's rising 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*
• But not only that, I had my 2ND food dream; I was attending GCCW and eating JAM DROPS for morning tea!! :D
• Noisy  PIG mum's daily a-THUMPING around upstairs awakes me for  another pot :P trip; shortly afterwards, she's let  herself into  my room to hit  me with the eye goo and help   exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but  the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into the tee then 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. That done, I sit over the loo for one wash and dry Era 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.
• Breakfast is one bowl of healthy cereal with 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 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). She tootles us off to church (we're that early  the parking uahers haven't even  started  duty  yet   XD) and parks outside the service hall;  I hike up  the ramp, use the disabled toilet (the seat was up but  @ least  the lid was too), washed and dried Era, headed into  the service hall then grabbed my  usual spot on the most left. 
  
• Yay I get to stay seated for worship today. I sing everything, plus the harmony for all four songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Pastor Peter Pie; his sermon was from his Joshua series.
• After service ended twenty-one minutes early and PIG mum collected me, I used the loo myself again (the normal one, since the disabled was already occupied) then headed around the back and sat @ the table for morning tea.
• Apart from one packet of Arnold's bikkies and one cup of white tea hopefully sweetened with some sugar; Granny Wan also shouted me one more biscuit! I've learned it's impossible to turn down old grannies trying to give you food. XD
• While everyone else enjoyed lunch @ some Vietnamese place, dad made me eat with him @ Hungry Jack's again. *sigh* One junior whopper and exactly ten chips for me, but I drank an iced chocolate!  Originally, I'd shook a medium shake but @ the counter the server told dad the milkshake machine was outta order! o_O Dad was asking for an orange juice instead but luckily, I had the sense to call out how about an iced chocolate please??  Lol dad nicked most of the cream @ the top but left me the drink, score~ Today marks ONE WEEK since I've enjoyed a proper meal out; hopefully another will come along this week!
• Back home, I used the loo for one more tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• Have just emailed Michelle for the TBAs in my roster for this week~
• Toms:  PIG mum'll help me up, since I'm got a late morning appointment to   see Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Think I'd better bai leen to him, too; isn't CNY like Tuesday?
• We'll come home for lunch with dearest dad but then excitement:  off to   APO to get my new AFO!
•  Still waiting for Michelle to get back to me about who's minding me from 4-6pm but I'm hoping to read the book club novel for another hour and watch the 6pm news for the 32ND time after the carer leaves! 
• Anyways, hopefully  bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 610d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3249. Righteo,  final, final   events for tonight?

• After one more tinkle I plopped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 31ST time.  All   the things I like recording are in   today's first post.
• When   PIG mum summoned me for dinner @ 7:13pm, 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.
• Uncle Slam's over for dinner but   Anna left for Singapore this morning!
• My  favourite for dinner was the duck   dearest dad cooked; unsure why I only got one tiny piece under a mountain of soup vegetables but after I'd finished, I asked PIG mum please for one more and she gave me two little pieces~
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking   the bowl 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.
• Suddenly PIG mum   summoned me back to the gobbling :P table @ 8:40pm for black sesame dessert, yum! But I only went for five minutes, slurped down my bowl and returned online~
• At 9pm 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.
• Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. Alas that dad won't lemme join other ESS people for lunch; that marks one WEEK when I'm not had a proper meal out. >< So much for pre-birthday celebrations.  *sigh*
• Braced for a stressful  arvo @ the hands of PIG mum but hoping to read the book club novel for another hour/two~
• Righteo,  looking forward too seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Saturday Post 610c

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding   total   for Saturday now stands @ 3149 but secondly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed NINE MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• After  PIG mum picks me  up and tootles me  home, I use the  loo for one tinkle then  sit  @ the  gobbling :P  table to munch my  arvo tea sushi, drink one massive mug of  herbal  tea and read the new book club novel for  a good long while,  since it's only Saturdays that I can  spend a blessed three hours with  my  nose  buried in a book. Today I finished pg. 100 @ 3:01pm, found the book title on pg.  104, finished pg. 111 @ exactly 3:15pm, finished pg. 125 @ 3:22pm and finished pg.  150 @ exactly 4:05.
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Saturday Post 610b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3102 (See? Told you I'd crack three grand! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Walk In Grace' but thirdly   and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FOUR MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, continuing today's events?

• Fifteen minutes later, I announce to Jane that I'm hungry and swing myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle. Jane comes, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom   and brush teeth. After drinking one tall cup of water, I 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 with Jane, who says that she had her usual breakfast smoothie for her morning meal.
• Me, I have my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered toast lightly spread with avocado, another tall cup of water, all my usual drugs :P and one my first big mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of sugar. Over and after breakfast, I happily read the book club novel for thirty minutes.
• While Jane shuts and locks windows, I use the loo for one more tinkle before climbing into the backseat of Sarah (SAZ is Jane's car's rego  plate XD). She parks underground since rain's been forecast but the main disappointment's that PIG mum won't  lemme use Sparkless 3. No more window shopping... *sigh*
• Groceries bought, Jane then grabs my honey chicken sushi roll for me before we return home and I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Jane who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted,  for lunch I eat one bowl of rice leftovers (thanks to Jane who added some oyster sauce for me, for taste) and two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey. I continue reading, reaching page fifty   @ 11:52am.
• I sit over the loo for two more tinkles while Jane washes the lunch stuff and then climb back into Sarah. Oh, thanks to Jane who helps me buckle my seatbelt all day.
• At church, I sign Jane off with my thanks and byes (she's back next   Wednesday for table tennis) and then dad and I play table tennis! Since he lets me win, I   tell PIG mum that she doesn't need to bok him for me when she comes to pick me up. XD
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 610

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2918 steps (so will surely have passed 3000 before Saturday ends XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Perfect   City'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Consult God In Everything' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Eternally Beloved" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm  really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-SIX MINUTES online after I  watch  the 6pm  news (Nine's) for  the  31ST time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, 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. After 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 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.
• After PIG mum lets Jane in, Jane knocks, pushes open the door and calls "Good morning, Em; fifteen more minutes." She's quick: Pearl nods good morning @ her but before he can flick his body 'shoo' @ her she's already closed the door! XD
• Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

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. ^^

Friday Post 610b

 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.    ^^
