Friday Post 669

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1642 steps (ha, I'm over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'We Will Rule All Things"; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Where There's A Will, There's A Way" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Survivors By God's Mercy" but fifthly and way  most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 16TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! 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*

Cheers,
Em. ^^
P.S.  All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's, read by Joel Dry) for the 16TH time: Makenna (first name), Baily, James (heard), Campbell,  Kletyman, Balme, Mickelberg, Probyn, Littleproud, Sussan (first name, heard), Ley (heard), Albanese (heard), Lesser, Trump, Mimi (first name), Becker, Volodomyr (first name),  Zelensky, Nielsen, Ryan, Melville, Guseli, Indra (first name), Kearsley, Burn (heard), Elordi (heard), Valentino  (first name), Brown, Ha-teya (first name), Gripske, O'Brien, Chalamet, Moura Griffin, Hurley, Sinclair, Markie, Dadds and Kohler.

Thursday Post 669c

 Good evening   again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2105. See? Told you I'd crack two grand! XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

  • When nature suddenly called @ 8:35pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more 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! 
  • Toms: Jane's minding me from 9:30am till like 1:30pm. PIG mum   says it's hot, go enjoy the air   con @ Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown but mainly I'm just frustrated that she won't lemme out for lunch with Jane; the Sunday just past marks one whole FORTNIGHT since I've enjoyed a proper meal out. >< *sigh*
  • Dorrie's coming to give Ela one hour of unfunctional hand exercises @ like 2pm; looking forward to reading the Horse Whisperer for another hour after she leaves and also watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 16TH time!
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing end to the week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
    P.S. Nature called once more  @ 9:35pm. Final, final plodding total for Thursday: 2180

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 1988 (so will have surely cracked 2000 steps before the night's out XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'His Sovereign Hand'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

  • When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner @ 7:28pm, I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely over 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 bok choy/little tong vegetable (forgot to check were the stem white/green XD), lotsa soup potato,  lotsa soup tomato, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup onion and three/four tiny chunks of pork, which I obviously saved for last.
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl; after taking the bowl over to the sink, I walked myself slowly and safely back online (whilst trying out the new shoes dad bought for me today), again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

Thursday Post 669b

 Heylo again, good afternoon again and potentially one final greeting for today!  Em's potential final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 1841. Unsure will I have reached two grand before the day's out? Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

  • After using up the most important two hours of my day, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat to enjoy the arvo tea PIG mum had kindly left me (one deliciously juicy pear, one flavoured cracker and one huge mug of green tea) and read the Horse Whisperer for one hour.  Today I reached page seventy-five @ 5:04pm and finished page seventy-five @ 5:05pm (meaning this book only takes me one minute to   read one page) and reached pg. 100 @ 5:47pm.
  • Used the loo   for one more tinkle then returned online and watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 15TH time.  All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of this post.
  • Righteo, hopefully  bbl  after dinner else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
Cheers, 
Em.   ^^

Thursday Post 669

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2043 steps (ha, I'm just over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Anchor Of Joy'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Believe God For Greater Things' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'A Longing Fulfilled'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome 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*
  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, nature calling once more shortly before PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before returning outside and awaiting Louisa's arrival @ 8am.
  • After PIG mum lets Louisa in, she knocks, opens the door and says Em, Louisa's here now. Fifteen more minutes. I nod Pearl @ her and then flick his body saying 'shoo'. XD
  • When Louisa comes back and taps me good morning, I sit up, introduce myself and use the pot :P for three more tinkles. After we get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom before sitting over the loo for one tinkle, washing and drying Era then heading out to the gobbling :P table with Louisa.
  • Breakfast is one/two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix with all   my usual drugs :P and one tall cup of   water. Whilst munching  my  healthy cereal, 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*
  • After Louisa slathers my face and both arms with sunscreen, she accompanies me back   to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast stuff 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 Louisa's car and she tootles me off to the Garbo library for GCCW! Thanks to her who kindly helped me buckle my own seatbelt both ways. Over the drive, I learnt that she's only twenty-one, from Kenya and is studying social work @ uni!
  • At the library, I use the loo for one tinkle then discover we're back in Meeting Room   One, yay~
  • Nine attend today (Beverley was new), Ken lemme  read my story   out (since I didn't get to share mine last time, but my reading was suddenly interrupted when the next meeting room burst into loud music! XD), Tammy helped me once   to the bathroom for morning tea and there was CAKE! She offered me the rest to take home but I just gulped one more slice then said no thanks since I   knew if I'd bought any home, I'd never see it again! XD Memory's our next homework topic; should I write about how I forgot poor mother/stick   to fiction like Stan wants?
  • Only fifteen minutes left, so super-briefly:
  • Got home, showered and ate a tuna toastie with TWO cheese for lunch for lunch.
  • Signed Louisa off with my thanks and byes. She's back same time next Thursday. Wonder what we'll do?
  • Hoping to watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 15TH time tonight!
  • Toms:  Jane's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm. PIG mum's too sleepy to lemme know what we're doing but says she'll answer tonight.
  • Presuming Dorrie will come and give Ela one hour of unfunctional hand exercises?
  • Hoping to read for one hour afterwards and watch the 6pm news for   the 16TH time!
  • Anyways, hopefully   bbl,  else wishing everyone a smashing  end to the week  toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 669b

 Heylo again, good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 1433 (sorry, not quite 1.5 grand; hopefully toms XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Purpose In Difficulty' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR  and THIRTEEN MINUTES online should PIG mum really   demand I hit   the  sack @ 9:45pm; argh, what  a crummy end  to an otherwise marvellous day!  >< But just noting down that this morning dad took PIG mum and I to the airport DFO and since I used Sparkless3, I got to WINDOW SHOP!! :D Bought some things, had lunch @ food court then Jane took me to table tennis! Poor Kim still couldn't attend, and she missed out on CAKE for Tim's birthday! Played table tennis again @ church with    dearest dad; when an aunty called me by name, later I  apologised saying sorry, what's your name! Shame I've got    dreadful facial recognition and wouldn't recognise Aunty Celia if I saw her again. XD Toms Louisa's taking me to GCCW; hope she's nice! Also hoping PIG mum'll let her buy me a chicken katsudon home for lunch later. Best of all, it's ice cream night toma night; like I say every week, a very little's better than  none @ all! Righteo, hope everyone's having a  smashing  week~
Cheers,
Em. ^^
