Saturday Post 328c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2694. Lol, I thought it took me like eighty steps for a round trip to the bathroom and back but tonight I took only forty steps? Well, I suppose walking with bigger steps are better ... anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I read and shared Facebook memories.
• At 9pm I rang Aunty Lai and chatted with her for 6:47.
• Phone call done, I walked myself slowly and safely once more 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.
• Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. Would love lunch out with other ESS peers toms, especially since tonight marks ONE WEEK since I last enjoyed a proper meal out but will haveta have a bite with dad @ the Rochedale Hungry Jack's while mother enjoys her weekly gossip and coffee session with the other aunties. *sigh*
• The Broncos are playing the Dragons @ 2pm! Will ask PIG mum to please turn the television on for me after she gets home from her coffee and gossip session with the other church aunties since for some reason Nine Now's stopped working?
• Anyways, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 328b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2646 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Down This Hard Path'. Righteo, continuing today's events?

• Over and after breakfast I happily read for thirty minutes, reaching pg. 375 @ 10:31am.
• After Jacinta spread sunscreen over my face and both hands, she walked behind me back to the loo then return to the dining room to close and lock windows.
• After sitting over the loo for one tinkle I washed and dried Era then climbed into the passenger seat of Jacinta's car. She kindly helped me with my seatbelt (as she kindly did all day) then tootled us off to Underwood Marketplace, parking beside the ramp out the front and grabbing a trolley for us.
• First, we both bought groceries from Woolies then we both bought sushi, me for arvo tea and her for lunch.
• Back home, I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Jacinta who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch is one bowl of rice leftovers, two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey and thanks to Jacinta who tore me little pieces of her yummy fried chicken! I continued reading, reaching pg. 400 @ 12:22pm and FINISHING THE BOOK @ 12:26pm! Huge thanks to Jane who'd grabbed me a new book to read yesterday; this one's set after WWI and about wives searching for missing husbands!
• After PIG mum returned home I sat over the loo for two more tinkles then Jacinta drove me to church to play table tennis with dearest dad, taking me once more to the loo since there was still time. Like I'd told her he would, the moment I entered the room dad demanded I take off the puffer jacket PIG mum had put on me before I'd left with Jacinta. XD
• But dad lemme win in straight sets today; he even lemme win the set that he wanted to win to save face! As usual, I copped several body shots but that doesn't matter since it's nearly Winter, I'm wearing more layers and can barely feel the body shots. XD
• Even better, dad lemme talk to Cherry during the drive home and lemme instruct him to open the sunroof! After closing the sunroof, you've gotta then instruct Chery to close the sunroof shade too, else sunlight still peeps in.
• Back home, I used the loo for one more tinkle, wash and dry Era then happily read the new book until 4:23pm, since it's only Saturdays that I can spend a blessed three hours reading~ This arvo, I paused for a loo trip @ 3:39pm and reached page fifty @ exactly 4:05pm
• Whoops only two minutes left, so super-briefly:
• Did another stinky unspeakable, watched the news, had dinner, drank soup and returned online.
• Hopefully bbl!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  
  

Saturday Post 328

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2534 steps (ha, I('m just over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'When God Goes Against His Will'; thirdly, TWFTT topic's 'Ask God For A  Dream' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Imitating God's Forgiveness" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWELVE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 105TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• #Woo hoo,  12TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 7am 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 not calling again till about 9am. Shortly after the second pot :P trip, noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs and it's not long before she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before returning outside and awaiting Jacinta's arrival @ 9:30am. While waiting for 9:30's arrival, 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*

• When Jacinta hasn't appeared by 9:31am she immediately comes back inside saying she's late; fifteen more minutes but I reply I'm sure she'll show up but I'll start counting down from 900 now.

• Sure enough, she turned up!  900 seconds later, I swung myself over to the pot :P and announced to Jacinta that I was hungry. She came immediately, explaining that she was away for Toastmasters since her boyfriend fell off his scooter, broke his toe and had an overnight stay in hospital, ouch! o_O

• After one tinkle we got me kitted and then I headed over to the bathroom and brushed teeth. Then I drank one full mug of water before sitting over the loo proper. 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!

  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• For my breakfast, I get one egg too!  That's fried and stuck on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast with one slice of cheese. I also drink a second full cup of water, pop all my usual drugs :P and enjoy one big mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey.

Friday Post 328

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2696 steps (ha, I'm over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Payout For Patience'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "God's Working In You, Through You And With You" and fourthly, Our Daily  Bread's devotional topic's "Waiting On God" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and ONE MINUTE online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 104TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 11TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:00am 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 for another hour, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am, shortly before 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 and give poor Elf's ankle 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 but obviously peeled the sock off first thing this morning! XD
• After PIG mum lets Jane inside @ 9:30am, Jane knocks, opens the door and called "Good morning, Em; fifteen more minutes." Remembering he's not got time for both a paw nod and a shoo, Daddy Bear just imperiously flicks his paw @ Jane, who smirks and wisely leaves. XD
• When Jane comes back and taps me up, I use the pot :P once more for three tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Jane, who tells me that she had her usual breakfast smoothie for her morning meal this morning.
• Me, I get one bowl of plain porridge, one slice of dry (unbuttered) bread lightly spread with avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt, 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* Also thanks to Jane who turned Sunrise on for my viewing pleasure~
• After breakfast I ask Jane to please gimme (face and both hands) some sunscreen, and then she walks behind me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast stuff up. Over the loo proper, 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 Sarah (Jane's car's license plate reads SAZ). She kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt then tootles me off to the NAB for physio with Adam. Traffic's smooth today, meaning we've arrived @ 9:40am, hence I get ten minutes to play phone games before going up~
• Physio today: Three rounds of standing boxing with left and forward weightshift,  beanbag grasping and throwing for Ela with left thigh clenching and more left and forward weightshift and learning, four laps long hallway walking and my first hike around the Great Court in 2026! Jem timed me: walking @ a comfortable pace, that walk took me forty minutes. And to think that two DECADES ago, I freely walked around the Great Court studying law. >< *sigh*
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's, read by Max Futcher and Katrina Blowers) for the 104TH time: Bezos (heard), Arrow, Maher, Robson, Charlton, Bremner, Milton, Sullivan, Holden, Whitfeld (heard), Bezos, Elon (first name, heard), Musk (heard), Babos, Bland (heard), Nicholls, Hirst, Abbott, Scott, Watt, Lester, Bragg, Massey, Willis, Wilson, Tyra (first name), Stowers, Catriona (first name), Absdo,  Cash (heard), Hammond, Sinner Clinton, Lang, Radenadge, Scott, Trump,  JD (first  name), de Kroo, Mayr, Jackman, Phillips, Newman, Farnham, Holland, Kasatkina, Sinner (heard), Birrell, Arthars (heard), Pezet (heard),  Kalyn (first name), Van Gils, Holbrook, Toohey, King, Vance and Abate.

Thursday Post 328d

One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ exactly 2000. XD Nice number, eh? XD Actually, 'twas only 1995 but that number pissed me off enough to stand up and take five steps around. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• When nature suddenly called @ 8:40pm, I walk 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.
• Continued sharing Facebook memories until 9pm, when I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one last tinkle and back, again and 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! Like I say every week, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Toms: Jane's helping me up @ 8:15am and taking me to two hours of NAB physio with Adam, then seeing me home and showered before leaving @ 2pm.
• Christina's making burgers with me! It's actually international burger today but since I couldn't get anyone to bring me a burger/take me out for a burger mother has kindly found me a burger recipe to cook toms; she'll buy ingredients for me while I'm out doing physio.
• Looking forward to eating my burger for arvo tea, reading the Matthew Reilly novel for one hour and watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 104TH time.
• The Sharks and playing the Sea Eagles toms night; I'll prolly listen to that via ABC Radio.
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing end to the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
