Thursday Post 612c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3054. Ha, I'm just over three grand. XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I began composing my Birthday Wishlist for 2026; it's due out March the 1st!
• At 9pm I walked myself 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.
• Tonight's ice cream night, yay! Like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Toms: Jane's minding me 9:30am till 2pm but score, no physio since Winnie doesn't come back till next week! Just eternally frustrated that she won't lemme out for lunch from Ho Lin Wah; this Sunday marks ONE WHOLE MONTH since I've enjoyed a proper meal   out! >< 
• Presuming we're just buying groceries for my cooking session with Dorrie toms arvo: we're making    chicken wraps!
• Looking forward to reading the Matthew Reilly book for another hour and watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 43RD time!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing end to the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2963 steps (so must have passed 3000 before tonight ends, surely? XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'You Are Never Alone'. Righteo, continuing Thursday's events?

•  Michelle came for a meeting @ 2:30pm. I was reading the day's Bible passages but joined them once I'd finished.
• Lol, luckily PIG mum scanned the documents before signing them; the date was incorrect! XD Unsure why Michelle stayed for a chat; she's got grandkids now! She's also vegetarian!
• When she left, I asked PIG mum please for some arvo  tea and read the Matthew Reilly book for one hour.  Today I reached pg. 150 @ exactly 4:05pm and reached pg. 175 @ 4:36pm
• After one tinkle I plopped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin for the 42ND time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of the previous (first) post.
• When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner I used the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era 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: leftover fried rice with lotsa cauliflower, lotsa soup carrot and lotsa soup   potato. Actually, dad only gave me like 2.5 TEASPOONFULS of rice and the rest were vegetables; surely the food pyramid's not balanced?? *sigh*
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowlful 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.
• Righteo, hopefully  bbl after one last  loo  trip with my final, final plodding total for the day, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening Friday else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Thursday Post 612

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2735 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily    devotional topic from last night's "You Are Greatly Loved"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Sacrificial Living' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Rainbow Answer" but fifthly  and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY-THREE MINUTES online after I watch  the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 42ND time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 7th consecutive last night, that's already the 4th time this year I've enjoyed one straight week of consecutive awesome sleeps! 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*
  
  
• Nature calls again about one hour later, shortly before PIG mum comes to hit me with the eye goo before going outside and awaiting Louisa's arrival only to return several minutes later and say "Louisa's late; fifteen more minutes. I immediately begin counting down from 900, saying please ring CODA should she have not arrived by 8:10am but phew, Louisa arrives like two minutes later~
• She says she was stuck in traffic along Logan Rd.   while I sit over the pot :P for two/three tinkles. After we get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table with Louisa.
• Breakfast was one/two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix 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 ask Louisa to please gimme some sunscreen and then she walks behind me back to the loo before returning to the kitchen and washing up the breakfast stuff. 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 passenger seat of Louiza's car and she tootles me off to the Garbo library for GCCW! Thanks to her who helped me buckle my seatbelt both ways~
• At Garbo I use the loo for one tinkle then enter meeting room one. Only since the projector's not working, we're moved to meeting room two!
• Our biggest attendance for 2026: thirteen! Nancy/Merlyn even gave me a big hollow chocolate heart! I wolfed it down immediately; after the first bite I told her that I had a broken heart and she roared with laughter.  XD
• The meeting ended eight minutes early today; Mary tried to KILL me when she tried to offer me the leftover Ferrero Rocher!! >< XD 
• After one more tinkle, Louiza tootled me home and I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Louiza who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, Louiza made me a tuna in tomato and onion with TWO cheese and even buttered the inside, even though I'd forgotten to ask her for any! XD Since fresh HK-milk   tea wasn't available, I made do with a powdered instant packet.
• I'd reported left heel pain to mother over Messenger after GCCW; the malleolus was fine, but I'd rubbed a blister into the heel! o_O
• At 1:55pm I sat  once more over the loo for two tinkles then signed Louiza off with my thanks and byes @ 2pm. She's back  toms from 9:30am till 2pm.
• Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

 Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 2204 (see? Told you I'd crack two grand! XD) but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after I get home from table tennis this afternoon and table tennis again @ church tonight! Righteo, let's quickly finish last night's events first!

• Got home, showered, plopped online, had some rice for arvo tea then Jacinta took me to Toastmasters! Lorraine was rostered down, but her poor dad passed away~
• Lol we arrived spectacularly late since Jacinta got lost; @ one point, she was driving up the highway towards the Sunshine Coast and then we had a room change but neither Jacinta nor I know how to read maps! XD
• But 'twas a great meeting; low in number and I feel loved since they waited for me to started! One new lady's Scottish and said she'd suffered trauma in like the Sunshine Coast?
• Had an UnHappy Meal for dinner, got home and repeat the usual nightly events. Zzz~
• Today: yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 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 once more for the pot :P around 7:45am and once more 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 and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bar strsp before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into the tee and 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 tinkle, wash and dry Era 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 like one dry (no honey) Weet-Bix sprinkled very lightly with some Minus :P, 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 walked myself slowly and safely back to the toilet, 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
• 0 P 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!
