Sunday Post 564c

 Good evening and probably one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's probable final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 5248 (ooh apparently, I'm more than half a normal person today; that's rare! XD) and secondly, Joni's daily devotional topic's 'Too Much Of A  Good Thing?' but unless Aunty Florence can videochat @ 10pm and not 9:45pm, I'll still be owed FIFTEEN MINUTES online!! *sigh* Anyways, probable final, final events for tonight?

  • Yay I got to stay seated for service today. I sang everything plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING.  >< *sigh*
  • Speaker today was Pastor Peter Pie with another sermon from his Sermon On The Mount series. Before service, though, Uncle Harry led prayer for the poor victims of the recent HK apartment fire~
  • After service I used the loo for one tinkle, grabbed one bikkie from the morning tea table then sat outside the hall munched that.
  • Went  to  the airport and collected PIG mum!! <3 Lol, last time we hadn't even left the airport before she'd SCREECHED @ me to SHUT UP; this time, I lasted until partway along the highway before copping that! Reckon one year I'll make it home first?? XD
  • Everyone else enjoyed lunch today from Mum's Wok but dad got us take away from Hungry Jack's *sigh* One junior Whopper, only seven chips and about 1/3 of the large orange juice. Took two sips of the free coffee: disgusting! XD
  • Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
  • Kelly minded me from 1:30pm till 6:30pm but   dad didn't let us leave until 2pm.
  • Bought groceries from Underwood MarketPlace and enjoyed my last LARGE Biscoff milk tea with pearl for a while!
  • Showered - hairwash today. Also thanks to Kelly who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly   shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was two plain crackers, one huge mug of green tea and maybe one banana?
  • Happily read my new book for one hour reaching page twenty-five @ exactly 4:50pm.
  • Watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 227TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
  • Dinner was back @ Ho Lin Wah. Neither set meal suited me, but dad ordered the omelette with rice for me and I got nearly (but not quite) one bowl, plus barely half a bowl of soupy thin ho fan, but dad made it look a heaped bowl since he crammed it to overflowing with vegetables. >< XD *sigh* Also drank one cup of Chinese tea, half the set soup and just over one mouthful of the hot HK-style milk tea.
  • Got home, used loo for one tinkle and returned online.
  • Toms: PIG mum's gonna try take me to APO and get my AFO fixed. Thankfully the twinge has mostly gone but now the AFO CLICKS when I step?? 
  • Hope dad remembers to buy me the chocolate advent calendar from Coles!
  • Lorraine's minding me from 4-6pm.
  • Should I watch the 6pm news for the 228TH time? Gotta compose my Christmas Wishlist to Santa!!
  • Anyways, hope  everyone has a smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

Sunday Post 564b

 Heylo again, good afternoon again and potentially one final greeting for today! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 4233 (sweet, 3rd consecutive day I've been over four grand! ^^) but secondly   and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR online after I watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 227TH time!! Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

  • Nature called again around one hour later, about the same time dearest dad let himself into my room to kiss me good morning and gimme some eye goo.
  • After Kelly arrived @ 7:30am, she knocked, opened the door and said good morning. When I waved @ her (my face was faced away from her), Kelly said "I'll come help you up in fifteen minutes, okay?"  Era gave her the thumbs up the flicked 'shoo' @ her; Kelly smirked with laughter and withdrew. 
  • When Kelly came back, I used the loo for one more tinkle, we got me kitted and then I headed over to the bathroom and brushed teeth, before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, Kelly walked behind me out to the gobbling :P table.
  • Breakfast was one bowl of healthy cereal with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly smeared with salt and lightly sprinkled with salt. Actually, sneaky dad had 'forgotten' to gimme any salt; lucky I double checked with Kelly! >< 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 breakfast, Kelly covers my face and both arms with sunscreen before walking behind me   back to the bathroom then 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 passenger seat of Kelly's car and she tootles me off to church, helping me once to  the bathroom before I sign her off with my thanks, byes and cya @ 1:30pm!

  • Cheers,
    Em. ^^
    P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's, read by Mia Glover) for the 227TH time: Kenzie, Fewtrell, Probyn, Laycock, Loft, Naggs, Lyon, Nugent, Pope, Root, Jiselle (first  name), Manning, Hyland, Croucher, Hanson (heard), Littleproud, Sussan (first name), Ley, Massilia (first name) Aili, Kearsley, Trump, Hegseth (heard), Mickelberg, Burrows (heard), Starc, Khawaja  (heard), Head, Becker, Volodymyr (first name,  Zelenskyy, Piastri  (heard), Norris Dufficy, Mostert, Kostecki, Feeney (heard), Katoa, Starcevich, Hillier, Slater, Walker, Love (heard), Ding, Jakob (first  name), Funk, Quayle, Gale, Labuschagne (heard), Reid (first name), Butler, Djodan, Stoppard, Todhunter, Gert-Jan (first name), de Graaf, Halliday, Puig, Shannon and Sedunary.

Sunday Post 564

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2335 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Only Conscience-Cleanser'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Don't Speak Too Quickly" and fourthly, Our Daily   Bread's devotional topic's 'How To Live Well' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-SIX MINUTES online later!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, for the first time in three days, and the best way to end November, 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. ^^

XD), used the loo once more for two tinkles then went to church and played table tennis with Sharon! Wow she's really good: she served, I returned and then she SMASHED the ball @ me! I have slow reflexes and didn't react in time; the ball whizzed by my right cheek! Sharon immediately squealed sorry and I demanded she write an incident report for that before we both roared with laughter. XD
  • Sat and harmonised along with folks that will sing Christmas carols @ Sunnybank Plaza and/or other shopping  centres soon!  The conductor guy's a bass like dad; he tried to sing a line for teaching and really strained. Everyone laughed @ him, poor bloke!

  • Huh, you'd think after plodding more than half a normal person last night I'd be entitled to a good night's sleep, but nature randomly called @ 12:45am?  *sigh* Never mind~
  • Following another pot :P trip after the Sun's rising, 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 again for the pot :P shortly after 9am, just before dearest dad lets him -  bbl!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Friday Post 564e

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 5337. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

  • After one tinkle, I plopped online but didn't get much into my most important two hours of the day since dad suddenly says I've gotta go to Uncle Colbert's place! Luckily, I'm wearing a bra this time. XD
  • Dad says he'll only be ten minutes and not bad thirteen minutes later we say bye and head home!
  • Back home I use the loo for one tinkle, return online and happily watch the 6pm news for the TWO HUNDRETH and TWENTY-FIFTH time. All the things I like recording are in today's third post.
  • When dad summoned me over for dinner, 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 cos lettuce, lotsa yummy garlic shoot/stem, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup tomato, like two tiny cubes of soup pork and one more sooong I've since forgotten. XD
  • Dinner was spooned down myself slowly bowl 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.

  •  At 9pm, I walked myself slowly  and safely once more too  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: Sharon's minding me 8:30am till 2pm; presume we'll get my honey chicken sushi  roll for arvo tea.

  • Looking forward to  playing table tennis with dearest dad @ church.

  • Will hopefully  finish the book club novel and start the  new one I bought  today; willing to  skip watching the 6pm news  226TH time to read for three hours!

  • Anyways,  hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^
    P.S. Tee hee, today I've managed FIVE posts; that rarely  happens Fridays! XD
