Friday Post 611

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4892 steps (so should reach half a normal person today, sweet); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "How To Delight In   God's Word"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Seventh Beatitude' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'God In The  Details'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't  call until 6:35am, 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, 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 before going back outside and awaiting Jane's arrival @ 8am.
• After PIG mum lets Jane inside, Jane knocks, pushes open the door and says, "Good morning, Em; fifteen more minutes." Daddy Bear flops his paw @ her once and just like that she's shut the door and left, thus denying him the chance to flop his paw 'shoo' @ her! XD
• When Jane comes back, I use the pot :P    for two/three more tinkles then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying I head out to the gobbling :P table with Jane, who tells me that she had her usual breakfast smoothie for her morning meal today.
• My breakfast:  two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P and 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. Thanks to Jane who turned on Sunrise for my viewing pleasure; that's the second-consecutive day I've enjoyed watching breakfast TV~ 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*

• Breakfast finished, I ask Jane please to slather sunscreen over both arms and face, after which she walks behind me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing up   the breakfast dishes. 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 Sarah and Jane tootles me off to the NAB for my final session with Nathan! We arrive early and have like twenty minutes to poke @ our smartphones before heading upstairs @ 9:50am.
• Physio today: Two 10m walk tests, one six-minute walk test, ten laps obstacle course, stepping for Erf with left weight shift and stepping for both feet on and off block. Next block I'm back same time (Friday 10am till midday) but next Friday's Easter Friday!
• Jane tootled me home and I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Jane who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was from our Korean neighbour: three/four slices of delicious gimbap  and two/three mouthfuls of japchae!
• At 1:55pm I sat over the loo for one more tinkle while PIG mum signed Jane off @ 2pm and shooed her away. She's back next Wednesday and taking me to table tennis!
• Dorrie came and cooked a teriyaki chicken fried rice with me! But today's her last time with me; she's leaving!! I gave her a big hug when she left~
• Had arvo tea, used loo for one tinkle then plopped online and did my daily Bible readings~
• Going to the loo once more @ 5:50pm then sitting @ the gobbling :P table while watching the news for the 57TH time and eating dinner since @ 7pm the Broncos are playing the Dolphins! Meaning I'm happy whoever wins; both are Queensland teams. XD
• Toms: think Jacinta's minding me am till 1:30pm? Will prolly  buy   arvo  tea sushi from Underwood MarketPlace, play table tennis @ church with dad then read all afternoon; it's only Saturdays that I  can spend a blessed three hours with my nose buried in a book~
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 611b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 6085 (ha, (I'm just    over six grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Even In The Darkness'. Righteo,  continuing today's events?

• After breakfast, I call Louiza back to please gimme some sunscreen.  That done, she walks behind me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing up the breakfast dishes. 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 backseat of Louiza's car and she tootles me off to   the Garbo library for   GCCW! Thanks to her who kindly helped   with my   seatbelt   both ways today~
• At the library I  used  the loo for one tinkle  then hiked towards the   meeting rooms,  asking Louiza reckon  the meeting's inside room  one/two/three today? Only one was undergoing renovations, two was already occupied and three  all  dark    and still closed! Suddenly Bob  appears using  his wheelie  walker  and  says "Hey  Em, I'll  race you  to  the back; we're in   the  quiet meeting room today." He immediately  wheels away  and I  stagger  after him,  going oi, ladies first! XD
• Bob's a gentleman,  though,  and lets me overtake him   @ the   entrance.   XD
• Inside's really fancy! We've setup   tables  for  our     meeting   but the  side has booths with tables and powerpoint sockets!
• Eleven  attended today;   Emily   was a new girl! Homework for   next fortnight's  "Do  Not    Go   Into  That Good Night";  that's some poetry  line! BTW Mary's expecting fiction.   XD
• Before Louiza tootled me home she went with me to get my complimentary drink from Zarraffa's and you can even choose sizes! Obviously I chose the largest; Louisa says the name's a tribe in her country! I ordered a dirty chai and was offered two/three shots of expresso; I chose two since I've got physio next and shouldn't really bounce off the walls but may try three should there ever be another free drink; 'twas delicious! :D
• Back home, Louiza made me a tuna in tomato and onion with TWO cheese and the inside HEAVILY buttered. Thanks to PIG mum who remembered to leave Louiza the packet of HK-style powdered milk tea for me!
• Before leaving for physio I used the loo for two tinkles but when I arrived @ Breathe's new place needed the bathroom again since all the caffeine had gone straight down! XD
• Physio today: 1.671km bike ride, forty steps for Erf with left weight shift, forty steps for Erf, forty v-bar cable rows for both hands, forty leg curls for Elf, forty leg extensions for Elf, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing!
• Afterwards, Louiza tootled me home and I showered my quickest - hairwash today. Also thanks to Louiza who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. Cheers, Em. ^^

Thursday Post 611

 Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday's actually 4019 (ha, I'm over four   grand; that doesn't happen very often!); secondly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's 'Give Thanks Loudly'; thirdly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 5903 steps (so should pass 6000 before Thursday   ends; sweet!); fourthly,  John Piper's daily  devotional topic from last night's 'Forever Satisfied' fifthly, TWFT topic's 'The Sixth Beatitude'  and sixthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Defined By Christ'    but seventhly and  way most importantly, I'm really  still owed FIFTY-SIX MINUTES online after I  watch the 6pm  news bulletin (Nine's)  for the 56TH time!! Anyways, let's start with yesterday's events first, just very briefly!

• Jane took   me to table tennis and gave me a HILARIOUS birthday card! The newest version of   the Happy Birthday song: "Happy Birthday to you... Squashed tomatoes and stew.... Bread and butter in the gutter ...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! XD
• Peter Pie picked me up for our group social: potluck dinner! My favourite was the Spam bake~
• Today: yay, 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:35am 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*
• Incredibly, I fall asleep again before PIG mum comes and hits me with the eye goo since Louiza's arriving @ 8am! She also gives poor Elf a very brief rub because she's ignored my poor foot for the   whole week. That's okay; Era rubbed Elf's ankle for fifteen minutes last night and let her wear her sock to sleep though obviously pulled it off first thing this morning! XD
• After PIG mum lets Louiza inside @ 8am, Louiza knocks, opens the door and says good morning. When Daddy Bear flops his paw @ her, Louiza then says, "I'll come back fifteen minutes later, okay?" Daddy Bear just goes 'shoo' with his paw.  XD
• When Louiza comes back, I use the pot :P once more for three tinkles, we get me kitted and then I go 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 boiled eggs for breakfast this morning.
• For my breakfast I only get like one dry (no honey) Weet-Bix and hopefully one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast exceedingly slightly spread with avocado and hopefully sprinkled with some salt, all  my usual drugs :P and one full cup of water. Lol, over breakfast, I happily watched The Morning Show; I'd asked Louiza to please turn it   on for me when I went and brushed teeth, but she couldn't figure out the remote control and   asked PIG mum for help! XD Over breakfast also, 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,
  Em.  ^^
  P.S.   All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's, read by

Wednesday Post 611b

 Heylo again, good afternoon and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I get to post before midday.  XD Sorry for not posting yesterday but Tuesday's plodding total was 4230; I had a belated birthday lunch and bubble tea with Fiona and attended Toastmasters @ night! Now, today: firstly, I've been hard @ work plodding 2223 steps (aww, how come I couldn't have plodded one step fewer; 2222 would've looked cooler! XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Ministry And The Fear Of Man'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Fifth Beatitude' and fourthly, Our Daily   Bread's devotional topic's 'One In Jesus' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THREE MINUTES online after I get  home from GG tonight! Argh, looks like it'll be the SECOND CONSECUTIVE DAY that I've been unable to spend the ENTIRETY of the MOST IMPORTANT TWO HOURS OF MY DAY ONLINE!! *sigh* Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night; I've just started an awesome sleep streak! Like the past two days, 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*
• Can't  remember did nature call again  around 7:45am/did   Daddy Bear  and I happily  cuddle and snore until  9am before I used the pot :P   again but  shortly after that, PIG mum started her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs and soon,  she's let  herself into  my room  to hit  me with  the eye goo   and help me exceedingly  slightly   with   absolutely  nothing bar  the bra strap and laying out the  tee for me  to struggle into before leaving me to  get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first,
• When I inform PIG mum I've mostly kitted myself and would she please hurry  up and finish with  Elf's AFO straps and both laces so I  can go brush teeth since it's  already  9:40am and I don't  want   to  be back  in bed before twelve hours have passed since I left the room she takes her time about it, 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.
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^
