• After publishing the previous post, I continued reading and sharing Facebook memories.

• Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30pm till 2pm and taking me to Breathe for physio. 
• Going back to Pinelands Coles afterwards to buy groceries plus my crackling pork bahn mi; Pinelands Plaza messaged me today saying that the Pinelands Bakehouse has reopened!
• Looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online after Peggy leaves @ 2pm.
• Have just reminded PIG mum that I'm needing rice for arvo tea toms, since Lorraine's taking me to the first Toastmasters for 2026 toms night, meaning I'll get an Unhappy Meal for dinner!

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3060 (ha, I'm just over three grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Use Every Hardship'. Anyways, continuing today's events?

• So a nice warm shower for me - hairwash today.  Also thanks to Lorraine who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted,  arvo  tea was some fruit, one plain cracker and one big mug of delicious vanilla chai. Originally PIG mum had put herbal tea into the cup but Lorraine found the honey for me, yay!
• I happily read the Korean book for one hour, finishing pg. 175 @ 5:08pm, before having thirty minutes to happily play the HP version of Bejeweled! Lorraine cleaned the bathroom then very    gently massaged Ela for nearly one hour, stopping @ 5:50pm and writing shift notes.
• At 5:55pm I sat over the loo once more for two tinkles then signed Lorraine off with my thanks and byes: she's back toms @ 5:30pm and taking me to the first Toastmasters for 2026!
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 9th time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of today's first post.
• When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner shortly after 7pm, 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 yummy  wombok, lotsa dearest dad's home-grown chokos and three wee slices of pork. Maybe even a piece of salmon?
• Dinner was spooned down with one 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.
• When nature randomly called @ 8:30pm, I walked myself once slowly and safely 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.
• Anyways, hopefully bbl after one last loo  trip @ 9pm with my   final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms else wishing everyone a smashing Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Heylo again,  good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2817. Wonder will I've reached 3000 before Monday ends? Anyways, potential final, final events for tonight?

• Wow, Lorraine actually arrived two minutes early! She and dad chatted briefly before she came inside.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 567

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2201 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily   devotional topic from last night's 'Passionate For God And Truth'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Healing Ministry Of Jesus' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'A Knowing Eye' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really  still owed EIGHT MINUTES online after Lorraine minds me for  two  hours and I watch  the 6pm   news (Nine's) for the 9th time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 12TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:30am 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*
• Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am, just before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around. 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 my poor foot last night. That's alright; Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes last night and let her wear her sock to sleep last night although obviously peeled the sock off first thing this morning!
• PIG mum helps exceedingly slightly with the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first. Dad's @ home; unsure why she didn't help me with the tee too? Doesn't matter; I struggled to put that on also before giving myself fifteen more minutes then getting myself mostly independently kitted.
• PIG mum returns to finish with    absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Have I said yet? The new toothpaste I started yesterday's really cool: it's white with like this thin purple stripe running through it!
• Teeth brushed, 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.
• Breakfast seems like only one Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P 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 washing and drying Era, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the bathroom, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 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 PIG mum's car and buckle my   seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. We also listen to her Spootify playlist all day.
• At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle then lie down for some acupuncture and massage. PIG mum's in her element yapping unceasingly @ Ray; my grateful thanks to Ray for always replying and keeping a conversation flowing. Today she repeated one syllable six times before continuing. XD
• I use the loo for one more tinkle before PIG mum tootles us  back to Warrigal Square where we buy groceries from Woolies. I don't like grocery shopping with the parents since they don't  lemme sit on the self-serve checkout machine. *sigh*
• Back home for lunch with dearest dad I get two *tiny* slices of oven-baked pizza, two chunks of garlic bread and one delicious mug of Chinese tea.
• Lunch finished, I take the cup over to the sink, use the loo for one tinkle then walk myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Lorraine's minding me from 4-6 today; fingers crossed she'll ring the doorbell first and announce her arrival before signing in, else she'll be late again and I'll be cranky! ><  XD
• Hoping to read the North Korean book for one hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for   the 9th time after she leaves!
• Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm and taking me to Breathe for physio @ 11am. 
• Fingers crossed she'll let us have lunch @ Lucky Cafe afterwards coz if she only lets me buy a bahn mi from somewhere then it's been like one FORTNIGHT since I've enjoyed a proper meal out!! *sigh*
• Looking forward to my most important wo hours of the day online and then reading the North Korean book for one hour before Lorraine takes me to the first Toastmasters for 2026!
• Not looking forward to getting an UnHappy Meal with an orange juice for dinner though ... ohh,  if PIG mum won't lemme eat lunch @ Lucky Cafe with Peggy and I'm just coming home and eating the bahn mi, I'm gonna need some rice for arvo tea!
• Anyways, hopefully  bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

I also drank one cup of Chinese tea, about half the sett soup and just one mouthful of HK-style milk tea. Ella's starting Grade Three come Jan. the 27th and her current  favourite saying's "Can I ask you a question...?" XD Super-adorable!
• Back home 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 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.
• Toms: PIG mum'll help me up, since I've got a late morning appointment to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3014 (ha, I'm just over three grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Living From The Inside Out'. Anyways, continuing today's events?

• When reading the North Korean book for one hour, I reached pg. 150 @ 4:14. PIG mum passed me some arvo  tea (fruit, one rice cracker and one mug of herbal tea) then continued her arvo nap   on the couch.
• After reading for one hour, I started playing Royal Match - and passed three levels! Have landed on a super hard level to be stuck on for the rest of the year now. XD
• At 4:40pm I asked mother may I shower yet but from the couch, she sleepily answered 5pm. XD
• At 5pm I went and took a nice warm shower - I washed and rinsed my hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 15% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
• I had one tinkle before I  tapped the nice warm  water off and called PIG mum  back; since she'll not even dry my  back for  me anymore once she dried the back of the chair for me I  did everything else and she didn't  feature again until   my  bra strap  needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
• After drying the loo seat I sat for one tinkle, stamped both feet   dry, dried inside both ears, washed and dried Era then walked myself slowly and safely back online rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Did my weekly file backup but only listened to the news since @ 6:45pm we were meeting Boss, Ivy and Ella for our belated once-yearly dinner since we didn't share a meal together @ the end of last year from Ho Lin Wah!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
