Friday Post 329b

 Heylo and good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 3628 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Just A Glimpse Of Heaven' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THREE MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, continuing today's events?

  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddled and snored, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am, shortly before PIG mum begins her noisy daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Louiza's arrival. When Louiza hasn't arrived by 9:30am, PIG mum immediately gives me fifteen more minutes. I immediately comply, telling PIG mum I'm sure Louiza's stuck in traffic and will arrive soon; just tell her to help me up @ 9:45am. Sure enough, that's what happens! XD
  • I use the pot :P for three more tinkles, 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 Louiza, who tells me that she had two fried eggs for breakfast.
  • For my breakfast, PIG mum's saved me one more of those polo buns that I'd helped her make recently! I also pop all my usual drugs :P and drain 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* Also thanks to Louiza for turning on Sunrise for my viewing pleasure~
  • Breakfast finished, I call Louiza back and ask her to please gimme some sunscreen. That done, she walks behind me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast dishes 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 passenger seat of Louiza's car and she tootles me off to the NAB. There's some traffic meaning I'm a few minutes late.
  • Physio today: Two 10m walk tests (one comfortable pace, one fastest safe), one twelve-minute walk test, lay down for Adam, Ronny and Elaine to assess left limbs for Botox, break for fire drill emergency evacuation,  five rounds standing blaze pods with left weight shift,  two rounds stepping for Elf with minimal left weight shift and three rounds stepping for Erf with lotsa left weight shift. 
  • Afterwards, Louiza tootles me off to Garbo to get my free donut from Donut King for national donut day! After she parks, I ask her to please find where's the Donut King first; she comes back and says you've gotta catch an escalator up, can you? Sure, I reply, I'll just hold the right-side rail.
  • But on arrival, the bloody escalator's OUTTA ORDER!! >< I'm like, what?? Suddenly, some old lady tells me, oh, you can walk to the end and catch the lift up. I say thanks but hike up the stopped escalator anyway, since Louiza's shift ends @ like 1:30pm but I need a shower when I get home.
  • The elevator's bloody long but I like it, reach Donut King and GET MY FREE DONUT!! :D Even better, Louiza loved hers so much (Kenya doesn't have donut shops like Brisbane; you can only buy them from bakeries) she went and bought herself two more - and bought me two more too! :D
  • Back home I take my quickest shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Louiza who helps 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 rice leftovers and washed down with one huge mug of herbal tea.
  • Once Louiza cleaned the bathroom I signed her off with my profuse thanks and byes. Shge's back and taking me to GCCW next Thursday; oh, gotta compose homework!
  • Christina gave Ela one hour of unfunctional exercises; the three recipes we selected for PIG mum to choose from for next Friday all come from the Woolies website!
  • Had arvo tea (one plain cracker, one juicy mandarin with one seed and another huge mug of herbal tea) and happily read for one hour. Today I reached pg. 175 @ 3:47pm and finished pg. 200 @ exactly 4:35pm.
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

Friday Post 329

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3544 steps (ha, I'm just over 3.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'What Makes God Proud'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'How To Conquer Your Jericho (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Running To God In Prayer'  but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-NINE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news (Seven's) for the 110TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't  call until the noisy garbage truck THUNDERED down the road and started tipping bins @ 6:35am; 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*
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Thursday Post 329d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 1477. Yup, sorry, not quite 1.5 grand; maybe toms. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post, I had like fifty minutes to play the newest version of Bejeweled I'd downloaded earlier today! I like this version; the jewels are quite large meaning there's not much eyestrain and I've reached level thirty-eight already! It's called  sth like Jewel Match Puzzle and I look forward to reaching level fifty toms; I know I can coz Louiza's driving me to the NAB for physio and back!~
  • At 9pm I walked myself once more 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:  will hopefully crack 1.5 grand since Louiza's coming @ 8am and taking me to two hours' of physio with Adam. Will remind the CEs to check Ela and Erf to see do I need farther Botox. Personally, I think not (I've only had one single bounce of clonus since the last injections) but I'll leave that decisions to the professionals! XD
  • Louiza will see me home, showered and fed with lunch before leaving @ 2pm then @ 2:30pm Christina's coming to give Ela one hour of unfunctional exercises. Wish I could message her and remind her to bring bubble tea! XD
  • Hoping to read for one-hour afterwards before watching the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's, since nobody's answered my confused post about why Nine Now's stopped working) for the 110TH time.
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing end to the week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

  • Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 109TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of the previous post.
  • When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner @ 7:10pm, 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 dearest dad's home-grown hairy melon, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup onion, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup tomato and a little of PIG mum's yummy mince. Over dinner I shared with the parents how today marked half a DECADE since that male hospital volunteer played the disability card for me!
  • 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.
  • Anyways, hoopefully bbl after one last loo trip with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening Friday else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
    Cheers,

  • Once my most important two hours of the day were up, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat @ the gobbling :P table to read for one hour. Before asking PIG mum for some arvo tea, I finished sharing my Facebook memories; today marks half a DECADE since the wardie played the disability card for me!
  • PIG mum pours me one mug of powdered HK-style milk tea, peels me a mandarin and passes me one plain cracker before heading back upstairs and continuing her arvo nap. While I read, I reached pg. 150 @ 4:48pm, finished arvo tea @ 4:54pm and finished pg. 175 @ 5:23pm.

Thursday Post 329

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1177 steps (ha, I'm over one grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Faith For The Impossible'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'How To Conquer Your Jericho? (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Freedom In God's Love". Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:45am 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, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am, just 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 before going back outside and awaiting Louiza's arrival @ 9:30am.
  • Actually, PIG mum's going hiking with some church aunty today and it's dearest dad who lets Louiza inside @ 9:30am! She knocks, pushes open the door and says good morning; I'll get you up after fifteen more minutes, okay? Daddy Bear gives one paw nod then imperiously flicks his paw @ her 'shoo!'; Louiza smirks and wisely withdraws, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
  • Just after 900 seconds later, Louiza taps me up, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth, sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry  Era then head out to the gobbling :P table with Louiza, who told me that she had two fried eggs for breakfast this morning, the lucky thing.
  • Me, I get one of the polo buns that I helped mother make yesterday for breakfast! Pity it's not   very good.  XD I also pop all my usual drugs :P and drink 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 I asked Louiza to please gimme some sunscreen (both hands and face), she followed me back to the bathroom then returned to the kitchen and washed the breakfast dishes up.  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 wash and drive Era then climb into the passenger seat of Louiza's car. She kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt (as she kindly does both ways) and then she tootles us off to Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown, finding a side park @ the very end.
  • Following one loo trip, we're walking into the library when Pastor Peter Pie says hi! I didn't see him since he was on my left; he was @ the computer writing his sermon for Sunday!
  • Today I grab Orson Scott Card's Master Alvin and read for one hour, reaching page twenty-five @ 11:48am and stopping @ page thirty-five when Louiza returns from buying groceries for PIG mum.
  • Afterwards, Louiza tootled me home and I took a nice hot 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 with tomato and onion toastie with TWO cheese and the inside HEAVILY buttered plus one mug of unsweetened strong English breakfast tea, since she could find neither the powdered HK-style milk tea nor the sweetener. *sigh*
  • At 1:55pm I sat over the loo for two tinkles before signing Louiza off with my thanks and byes; she's back toms morning! Usually Friday's Jane's shift but she's got some exam~
  • Looking forward to reading for one hour then watching the 6pm news (Seven's) for the 109TH
  • Tonight's ice cream night, yay! Like I say every week, a very little's better than none @ all~
  • Toms: Louiza's taking me to the NAB for two hours' physio with Adam. 
  • After she leaves, Christina's coming and giving Ela one hour of unfunctional exercises. Dare I dream that she'll remember my bubble tea? XD
  • Looking forward to reading for one hour then watching the 6pm news for the 110TH time. Hopefully someone can help me fix the 9Now!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
