Tuesday Post 669

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3734 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Giver Gets The Glory' (seems familiar?); thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Be Sure To Praise The Lord' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Hope In Faith'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't  call until 6:30am, 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*
• Afterwards, Mini Pearl and I had a MASSIVE snore; nature didn't call again until like 9am! Shortly afterwards, PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs and soon she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor Elf's ankle a very brief rub since she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night. Doesn't matter; Era rubbed Elf for fifteen minutes last night and let her wear her sock to sleep last night but obviously peeled it off first thing this morning! XD
• After PIG mum lets Peggy inside @ 9:30am, Peggy knocks, pushes open the door and announces, "Good morning." When I nod Mini Pearl @ her, she next states "Fifteen more minutes." Mini Pearl nods again, then flicks his body 'shoo' @ Peggy, who smirks and wisely withdraws. XD
• When Peggy 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.  Thanks to Peggy who's already squirted some toothpaste for me.
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle and wash and dry Era before heading out to the gobbling :P table with Peggy, who tells me that she had her usual two fried eggs for breakfast.
• For my breakfast, I get one bowl of healthy cereal with 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 because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• Since Peggy had already smothered my face and both hands with sunscreen before giving me breakfast, when I was finished, she accompanied 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 backseat of Auto (pronounced Alto) and Peggy tootles me off to Pinelands Plaza to buy a bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse. Thanks to Peggy who gets a trolley for us on arrival, even though PIG mum didn't need any groceries from Coles today.
• Aunty Nancy served me today; when I asked her how are you she just waved a hand in front of her face and grunted, "No goof. Too hot." Aww, ovens in bakeries, understandably she's boiling!
• After saying cya next week, our other stop's Woolies @ Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown  to buy groceries from Woolies but good grief, like ALL the parking was gone and Peggy didn't find parking until the middle of nowhere! ><
• Not only that, what mother wanted from Woolies (tuna) wasn't available! But @ least we got some toilet rolls. XD
• Then I happily read Sibling Assassins @ the library while Peggy went grocery shopping @ ALDI.
• Back home, I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing   Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was my delicious crunchy pork bahn mi plus one huge mug of delicious vanilla chai; also thanks to Peggy who managed to one packet of sugar for me! Usually, I prefer my tea with two teaspoonfuls but hey, one's better than none!
• At 1:55pm I went to the loo for two more tinkles; @ 2pm Peggy left. I'll see her again same time next Tuesday.  Unsure why she said I was 'sensitive' today?
• Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day I'll use the loo for one tinkle then sit and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea; hope she remembers that I need RICE!!
• Lorraine's taking me to Toastmasters but it's  gonna be a small meeting: four members, unless guests come!
• Pity I'm only getting an UnHappy Meal with an orange juice for dinner *sigh*
• Toms: hopefully PIG mum'll help me up not too late and take me grocery shopping and aisle walking somewhere before we come home for lunch since Jane's not taking me to table tennis until 1:30pm and apparently, I'm playing table tennis @ church with dad again toms night!
• But fingers crossed I can watch  the 6pm news bulletin for the 18th time!
• Doubt I'll  post  again tonight; hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 669c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3534. Ha, I'm just over 3.5 grand. XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the  loo for one more 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: Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till  2pm.  PIG mum says we'll buy groceries for her from Pinelands Coles plus my once-weekly  crunchy pork bahn mi from  the Pinelands Bakehouse for lunch.
• Looking forward  to my most important  two hours of the day online then reading  The Horse Whisperer for one hour while having arvo  tea; have already reminded PIG  mum to please gimme RICE for arvo  tea!!
• Also looking forward to hitting Toastmasters with Lorraine @ 5:30pm!
• Not much loooking forward to getting an UnHappy Meal with Lorraine with an oorange  juice for dinner afterwards but hey, oerhaps we can come to some deal. XD
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3444 (so expecting to have hit 3.5 grand before the night's out XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Never Overlooked'. Righteo,  continuing tonight's events?

• We share a chicken katsudon from Hanaichi for late arvo tea/early dinner (but PIG mum promises supper; phew) before dad tootles us home and I take a nice warm shower - I wash and rinse my own hair today. I also slowly, softly but most hatefully sing 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I'm done after only 12%, but happily lean fully against the right-side side rail and water myself for another tinkle before tapping the nice warm water off and calling PIG mum back. Only she's not around? Never mind; I wait thirty seconds and try calling again. Still no response? Another thirty-second wait and third time lucky, she hears me! Turns out she was outside doing sth. I told her lucky it's Winter and I didn't get cold; had she not come immediately during Winter I'd have turned the water back on! XD
• Since PIG mum won't even help me dry my back anymore, once she dried the back of the chair for me I did everything else and she didn't feature again until Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
• After I dried the loo bowl (or whatever the toilet with the seat left up's called), I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped both feet dry, washed and dried Era then walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• When PIG mum summons me over for supper I use the loo for one tinkle then walk myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• A yummy supper: dad brought a takeaway container of Chinese food from Westfield Chermside!was washed down with one delicious cup of Chinese tea; after taking the cup over to the sink I walk 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.

• Righteo, hopefully brb after one last 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 Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good evening and HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3318 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily   devotional topic from last night's 'Delayed Deliverances'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Healing Ministry Of The New Testament Church' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Mercy And Our Mess' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY MINUTES online after  supper tonight!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd awesome consecutive sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:30am, 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 once more for the pot :P around 9am, shortly before noisy 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 and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately pulling the tee on (since dearest dad was home) and giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum comes back and finishes 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 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.

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 she tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Obviously, I buckled my own seatbelt all day; we also listened to her Spotify playlist all day, too.

• At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle and then lay down for some acupuncture and massage. PIG mum's in her element, yapping unceasingly @ Ray; my grateful thanks to Ray who always replied and kept a conversation flowing. PIG mum was so excited @ getting to yap today that she repeated one syllable five times before continuing. XD

• After another loo trip, PIG mum tootles me back to the Warrigal Square Woolies and we come home for lunch with dearest dad (leftovers from his birthday party dinner last night).

• Excitement: afterwards, dad tootles us to Westfield Chermside for a shopping trip and I get to use Sparkless3; WINDOW SHOPPING! PIG mum picks up a pair of pants and me a t-shirt.

• We share a chicken katsudon from Hanaichi - bbl!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 669b

 Heylo again, good afternoon again and probably one final greeting for Sunday! Em's probable final, final greeting for Sunday now stands @ 2539. Ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand. XD Righteo, probable final, final events for today?

• I'd reached reading and sharing my Facebook memories from eight years ago when I suddenly realised that my PISSY two-hour time limit was up; I obediently used the loo for one tinkle then sat @ the gobbling :P table, waiting for some arvo  tea and hoping to read for an hour.
• PIG mum gave me some white dragon fruit, one tasty cracker and one huge mug of green tea but said no time to read since the dinner guests are coming @ 6pm!
• Took a nice warm shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 15% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
• I  had one tinkle before I flipped the nice warm water off and called PIG mum back; since she'll not even dry my  back for me anymore after she dried   the back of the chair for me, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until my bra strap needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed  tying.
• After I dried the loo seat, I sat for one tinkle, stamped both feet dry, dried inside the ears, washed and dried Era then walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Unsure will I return online since tonight's dad's birthday party!
• Righteo, maybe bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 669

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2153 steps (ha, I'm over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Served In Serving Others'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Start Small, And Keep A Winning Attitude' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Be Like Jesus'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:50am and after one pot :P trip, I immediately try and fall back asleep since I'm sure noisy PIG mum would go a-THUMPING around very soon!
• Instead, around 135 deep breaths later, PIG mum indeed goes THUMP. Well, sleep's not returning. Instead, 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*
• PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately pulling on 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 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.

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 and parks outside the service hall. I hike up the ramp, use the second cubicle of the normal lady's loo (since the disabled and first cubicle of the normal ladies' loo have lids closed but horrid PIG mum won't help me lift them), wash and dry both hands then grab my usual spot inside the service hall and PIG mum rushes back upstairs for CM.
• Yay I get to stay seated for worship today! I sing everything plus the harmony for two songs but like every other week, mean absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Pastor Peter Pie with his new sermon series: Choosing God In A World Of Choice and there was communion afterwards, but service still ended fifteen minutes early.
• After PIG mum collected me, I used the disabled loo for one tinkle, grabbed a packet of bikkies from the morning tea area then sat outside the service hall.

• When Aunty Catherine wandered over I showed her the photo of me holding baby Zebby; she took off her clases, peered closely @ the mobile and immediately recognised him! Then she told me he's nearly as tall as she is! (BTW, unsure why the font suddenly went bold?)
• While everyone else shared lunch @ Mum's Wok, I was stuck @ Rochedale Hungry Jacks again. A mini snack wrap, exactly ten chips and a small orange juice for me. Today marks THREE WEEKS since I last enjoyed a proper meal out. >< *sigh*
• Back home, I used the loo for one 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

• Forgot to note down when I started online so will just stay online until PIG mum boots me off; I can't move anyhow since Elf's big toe was hurting and PIG mum removed all her footwear!
• Tonight the Slams and Aunty A's coming over to celebrate dearest dad's birthday and tomorrow's Australia Day! Still seeing Ray for acupuncture and massage, though. Hopefully PIG mum will find somewhere open and take me for walkies somewhere otherwise expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
• The roster says I've got support toms arvo but apparently mother's already cancelled it?? *sigh*
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing  everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Saturday Post 669c

 Good evening again and one final   greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3431. Aww, sorry, not quite 3.5 grand; maybe toms. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• When PIG mum summons me over for dinner @ 7:28pm, I use 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 icky bitter vegetable, lotsa not-very yummy bean sprouts, lotsa dearest dad's home-grown hairy melon, two chunks of salmon, two pieces of tasteless soup pork and one delicious leftover potsticker.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink 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.
• Only the top of Elf's toe started hurting? PIG mum's said before tell her immediately; when I did she had me remove Elf's footwear than showed me I've got  sh*tty  sensation and 'twas actually the side of the toe that   was hurting.
• At 8:55pm I asked her to please put Elf's footwear back on then @ 9pm 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 dearly love lunch out with other ESS peoples afterwards but it'll just be me back with dad @ Hungry Jack's, meaning it's been THREE WEEKS since I've last enjoyed a proper meal out. *sigh*

• Also expecting a stressful arvo  @ the hands of PIG mum. But hopefully she'll be too busy preparing for dad's birthday party: we're not having our once-weekly family dinner out tonight since the Slams and Aunty A are coming for dad's birthday party and I helped her make dearest dad's birthday cheesecake!

• Anyways, looking  forward to seeing  everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
