  • Toms: PIG mum'll help me up, since I've got a late morning appointment to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Bet she's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him. XD Me, I'm just looking forward to wearing the new thin blue beanie she bought for me!

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 1914 (so will fall shy of reaching two grand tonight; sorry; toms maybe XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'I AM The Way, The Truth And The Life'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

  • Once the news ended, I used the loo for one more tinkle then climbed into the backseat of Chery. Thanks to PIG mum who kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt both ways this time, since I've got seriously sh*tty night vision.
  • Another dinner @ Ho Lin Wah. Yesterday already marked ONE WEEK since I last enjoyed a proper meal out; I may haveta wait until the VERY END of June (the 30th) before enjoying another proper meal out (Toastmasters changeover function)! *sigh*
  • Dinner tonight: nearly (but not quite) one bowl of yummy thousand-year egg and pork congee, nearly (but not quite one bowl of stir fry beef ho fan and about one bowl of the set 'A' meal, some kinda fried rice. I also drank one cup of Chinese tea, half the set soup and just over one mouthful of the HK-style hot milk tea.
  • Back home, I walk myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • PIG mum's popped me one Panadol and oone echinacea tablet since my idiot head's throbbing slightly, always the right side. *sigh*
  • Anyways, hopefully brb after one final loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total foor today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 1571 (ha, I'm just over 1.5 grand XD) but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after I get home from dinner tonight!! Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

  • At 1:55pm I asked PIG mum please to turn the TV on for me; I'd use the loo for one tinkle then crash on the sofa to watch the game live!
  • Only she couldn't find it? Oh, they were broadcasting the LATER Sunday game, not the earlier one! Doesn't matter; ABC Radio would have live commentary!
  • *cringe*  The Broncos are the REIGNING PREMIERS whereas the Dragons are WINLESS thus far into the season, but we *still lost*! ><"
  • Once the match ended, I headed over to the gobbling :P table and asked PIG mum please for some arvo tea.
  • She cut me some pear, passed me one plain cracker and poured me this disgusting mug of herbal tea! ><" Bags I do not drink it again ... XD
  • Originally, I'd planned to read for one hour, but when PIG mum suggested shower around 4:30pm I complied.
  • So a nice hot shower for me - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud. Actually, I was all done after only 10% but happily leaned fully against the right-side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling PIG mum back.
  • After she dried the back of the chair for me, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until the bra strap needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
  • After drying the loo seat I sit for one tinkle, stamp both feet dry, dry inside both ears, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl later tonight, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!

  • Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Sunday Post 328

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1345 steps; secondly, Joohn Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Something To Boast About'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Today, God's 'With You'" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Extending God's Care" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY MINUTES online after I watch the Broncos play this arvo!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Grr, nature called this morning around 1:50am and ruined my twelve-day awesome sleep streak! >< Never mind, 'twas still a sound sleep apart from that~ *sigh*
  • After the first daylight 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*
  • Happiness was fully falling back asleep before PIG mum woke me when she let herself into my room and hit me with the eye goo. She also helped me exceedingly slightly with nothing bar the bra strap plus laid out my tee and bra for me before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling in6o the tops 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 one bowl of plain porridge, 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*
    Cheers,
  • After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the bathroom, 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). PIG mum tootles  us off to church, parks near the end (about seven deep) and walks behind me while I hike up the ramp, use the second cubicle of the normal  female toilets (since both the disabled toilet and the first cubicle of the normal ladies loo have closed lids but obviously horrid PIG mum won't lift them for me), wash and dry both hands then grab my usual spot for service @ the most left. PIG mum heads back upstairs for the Canto service.
  • Yay I get to stay seated for worship this morning. I sing everything, plus the harmony for four songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh* 
  • Speaker today's Dr. Lee with a sermon from the Apostles Creed series. Lol, he had a friend who brought him a STRAWBERRY cake for his birthday one year; Dr. Lee was so disgusted he THREW IT OUT!! XD
  • Service ended eighteen minutes early, both parents came and collected me; I used the disabled loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era and then hiked around to the back for morning tea, where dad already had a packet of Arnott's bikkies and a cup of sugarless white tea waiting for me.
  • Mostly I was just happy that some random aunty offered me one little packet of cheese and onion chips; of course, I said yes! Unfortunately, horrid PIG mum immediately roused @ the kind aunty, meaning I can't expect any more from her. *sigh* But I'm blameless in this case: I didn't ask for anything; the chips were offered! XD
  • Today everybody else had lunch @ Mum's Wok but dad made me eat Hungry Jack's with him again while PIG mum enjoyed her weekly gossip and coffee social with the other church aunties. *sigh* Dad's mate Uncle Stephen sat opposite us and they chatted; for lunch I had one cheeseburger, one chicken nugget, twelve chips, 1/3 the orange juice and a few bites of the mini-Drumstick since I shook a mini-Stunner deal with the Hungry Jack's app.
  • Dad tootled us home, not letting me open the Vhery's sunroof even though it wasn't raining, but hey.
  • Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Was gonna use the loo @ 1:55pm then head over to the couch and watch the Broncos play St. George @ 2pm but turns out Nine's not airing it! Meaning I'm just listening to the commentary through ABC Radio. 2nd half's just started but the Broncos are losing 14-2! o_O
  • Presuming we'll have our once-weekly family dinner out @ Ho Lin Wah again. Yesterday already marked one whole WEEK I last enjoyed a proper meal out; fingers crossed for another one sometime this week!
  • Toms: PIG mum'll help me up, since I've got a late morning appointment to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him. XD
  • Oh, and Winter arrives toms! ><" XD
  • Presume we'll buy groceries before coming home for lunch with dearest dad.
  • Think Jacinta's taking me to Breathe for physio @ 2pm. Oh, then PIG mum'll prolly leave the shopping for afterwards.
  • Jacinta will see me home and showered before leaving @ 6pm; I'm looking forward too watching the 6pm news for the 106TH time!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2694. Lol, I thought it took me like eighty steps for a round trip to the bathroom and back but tonight I took only forty steps? Well, I suppose walking with bigger steps are better ... anyways, final, final events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post, I read and shared Facebook memories.
  • At 9pm I rang Aunty Lai and chatted with her for 6:47.
  • Phone call done, I walked myself slowly and safely once more 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. Would love lunch out with other ESS peers toms, especially since tonight marks ONE WEEK since I last enjoyed a proper meal out but will haveta have a bite with dad @ the Rochedale Hungry Jack's while mother enjoys her weekly gossip and coffee session with the other aunties. *sigh*
  • The Broncos are playing the Dragons @ 2pm! Will ask PIG mum to please turn the television on for me after she gets home from her coffee and gossip session with the other church aunties since for some reason Nine Now's stopped working?
  • Anyways, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 328b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2646 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Down This Hard Path'. Righteo, continuing today's events?

  • Over and after breakfast I happily read for thirty minutes, reaching pg. 375 @ 10:31am.
  • After Jacinta spread sunscreen over my face and both hands, she walked behind me back to the loo then return to the dining room to close and lock windows.
  • After sitting over the loo for one tinkle I washed and dried Era then climbed into the passenger seat of Jacinta's car. She kindly helped me with my seatbelt (as she kindly did all day) then tootled us off to Underwood Marketplace, parking beside the ramp out the front and grabbing a trolley for us.
  • First, we both bought groceries from Woolies then we both bought sushi, me for arvo tea and her for lunch.
  • Back home, I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Jacinta who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch is one bowl of rice leftovers, two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey and thanks to Jacinta who tore me little pieces of her yummy fried chicken! I continued reading, reaching pg. 400 @ 12:22pm and FINISHING THE BOOK @ 12:26pm! Huge thanks to Jane who'd grabbed me a new book to read yesterday; this one's set after WWI and about wives searching for missing husbands!
  • After PIG mum returned home I sat over the loo for two more tinkles then Jacinta drove me to church to play table tennis with dearest dad, taking me once more to the loo since there was still time. Like I'd told her he would, the moment I entered the room dad demanded I take off the puffer jacket PIG mum had put on me before I'd left with Jacinta. XD
  • But dad lemme win in straight sets today; he even lemme win the set that he wanted to win to save face! As usual, I copped several body shots but that doesn't matter since it's nearly Winter, I'm wearing more layers and can barely feel the body shots. XD
  • Even better, dad lemme talk to Cherry during the drive home and lemme instruct him to open the sunroof! After closing the sunroof, you've gotta then instruct Chery to close the sunroof shade too, else sunlight still peeps in.
  • Back home, I used the loo for one more tinkle, wash and dry Era then happily read the new book until 4:23pm, since it's only Saturdays that I can spend a blessed three hours reading~ This arvo, I paused for a loo trip @ 3:39pm and reached page fifty @ exactly 4:05pm
  • Whoops only two minutes left, so super-briefly:
  • Did another stinky unspeakable, watched the news, had dinner, drank soup and returned online.
  • Hopefully bbl!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 328

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2534 steps (ha, I('m just over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'When God Goes Against His Will'; thirdly, TWFTT topic's 'Ask God For A  Dream' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Imitating God's Forgiveness" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWELVE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 105TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • #Woo hoo,  12TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 7am 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 and I happily cuddle and snore, nature not calling again till about 9am. Shortly after the second pot :P trip, noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs and it's not long before she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before returning outside and awaiting Jacinta's arrival @ 9:30am. While waiting for 9:30's arrival, 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*

  • When Jacinta hasn't appeared by 9:31am she immediately comes back inside saying she's late; fifteen more minutes but I reply I'm sure she'll show up but I'll start counting down from 900 now.

  • Sure enough, she turned up!  900 seconds later, I swung myself over to the pot :P and announced to Jacinta that I was hungry. She came immediately, explaining that she was away for Toastmasters since her boyfriend fell off his scooter, broke his toe and had an overnight stay in hospital, ouch! o_O

  • After one tinkle we got me kitted and then I headed over to the bathroom and brushed teeth. Then I drank one full mug of water before sitting 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 with Jacinta, who tells me that she had scrambled eggs for breakfast.
  • For my breakfast, I get one egg too!  That's fried and stuck on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast with one slice of cheese. I also drink a second full cup of water, pop all my usual drugs :P and enjoy one big mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey.
