Friday Post 565d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 5308.  Righteo,  final, final events for tonight?

  • For arvo tea PIG mum tossed me one banana and one little chocolate crackle (I thought she said I could have a big one after dinner tonight?) but refused to pour me half a mouthful of milk snapping do it yourself before flouncing upstairs for her long arvo nap. No problem: I poured myself one mug filled to the brim!
  • Happily read the Veronica Roth novel for one hour, reaching page twenty-five @ exactly 3:30!
  • One tinkle for me before I returned online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 236TH time. All the things I like recording are in today's first post.
  • When   PIG mum summoned me over for dinner @ 7:42pm, 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 soup potato,  lotsa broccolini, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup tomato, one/two thin slices of tasteless soup pork and four/five small chunks of salmon.
  • Only fifteen minutes left, so just briefly:
  • Drank soup, took bowl to sink, returned online and used loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm.
  • Toms: Jane's minding   me from  9:30am  till   1:30pm;   presume we'll buy  my arvo tea sushi  roll from Underwood Marketplace plus whatever groceries PIG  mum  wants from   Woolies,  come home for  a shower and lunch (Jane should feed me two  more big mugs of white tea with  sweetener) before she  drops me off @ church  to  play table tennis with dearest dad.
  • Planning to spend all arvo reading; it's only Saturday that I can spend a blessed three hours reading and I'm willing to   skip watching the 6pm news for the 237TH time for that!
  • Righteo,  hope everyone has a smashing   weekend ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 5165 (ha, I'm more than half a normal person today, that's rare! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'His Purpose For You'. Anyways, continuing events for today?

  •  That done, I wash and dry Era then climb into the passenger seat of Jane's car. Jane helps me buckle my seatbelt (as she kindly does all day) then she tootles me off to Breathe for physio.
  • Physio today: 2.768km bike ride, forty bar-assisted push-ups, forty steps for Erf with left weight shift, forty v-cable rows for both hands, forty leg extensions for Elf, forty leg curls for Elf, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing! When I was done, I headed back outside to the waiting room, sat down and SHOUTED "Yay, I'm DONE with physio   for 2025; HOLIDAYS!!!" Shirley and Winnie both burst out laughing and Winnie cut me one slice of the cake PIG mum had made for them as my Christmas present, score!
  • After one more loo trip (CZ258 unlocks the female toilets and the second cubicle has an ambulant rail), Jane tootled us off to Coles Rochedale to buy groceries for   the cooking   session I've got with Dorrie this arvo! Yay she lemme sit on the self-serve checkout and lemme rest my legs while she scanned the groceries.
  • Back home I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Jane who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was one yummy tuna in tomato and onion toastie with TWO cheese and one massive mug of English breakfast tea, the only pity being that Jane couldn't find where the sneaky parents had hidden the sweetener! *sigh*
  • At 1:55pm I sat over the loo for two more tinkles while Jane washed the lunch dishes up, before I signed her off with my thanks and byes @ 2pm.
  • When Dorrie arrived, she walked behind me to the gobbling :P and then I made chocolate crackles with her! Photos are on Facebook~
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 Heylo  again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 4933; ooh, think I'll reach   half a normal person before tonight's out! XD Righteo, potential final, final events for Friday?

  • After PIG mum lets Jane inside @ 9:30am, Jane knocks, pushes open the doors and says, "Fifteen more minutes, Em." Pearl nods back @ her and she wisely leaves; phew, since he's rather grumpy she didn't bid us good morning first! XD
  • When Jane comes back and taps me up, Pearl asks her please say good morning first tomorrow? I use the pot :P for one tinkle, we get me kitted, I head over to bathroom and brush teeth, sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P   table with Jane, who told me that she had her usual breakfast smoothie for her morning meal.
  • For my breakfast, I get one bowl of the less-yummy (so sticky) bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) 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. 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, Jane slathers my face and arms with sunscreen before accompanying me to the   bathroom then returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast things 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!

Friday Post 565

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4678 steps (sweet, already over   4.5 grand; that's uncommon!); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Christmas Model For Missions'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Your New Resurrection Body (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Resting  In God' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-THREE MINUTES online after I watch  the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 236TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 5th 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*

  •  Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking   again for the pot :P around 9am, shortly   before noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor Elf a very brief rub since she'd totally ignored her last night (and all the other weekdays beforehand). That's alright, Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes last night and let her wear her sock to sleep, although obviously peeled the sock off Elf first thing this morning! XD
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^
