Saturday Post 612

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3333 steps (nice number, eh? Actually, 'twas 3331 but that number pissed me off enough that I stood and took two little steps forward before sitting down XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Radical Effects Of The Resurrection'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Be The Master Of Your Debt' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Faith Of Friends' but  fifthly  and way most importantly, I'm   really   still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-SIX MINUTES online after I  watch the 6pm  news bulletin (Nine's) for  the 44TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 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. ^^

Friday Post 612c

 Good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 3410. Sorry, not quite 3.5 grand; perhaps toms. XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• I had one delicious chicken wrap for  arvo tea, plus one huge mug of green tea and happily read Scarecrow And The Army Of Thieves for one hour, reaching pg. 200 @ exactly 3:33pm, reaching pg. 222 @ 3:56pm and reaching pg. 325 @ exactly 4pm!
• After one tinkle I plopped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 43RD time. All the things I like recording are in today's first post.
• When PIG mum 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: the less-yummy rice, lotsa some green vegetable, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup potato,  lotsa soup onion, lotsa soup tomato and like two small chunks of mostly tasteless soup pork.
• 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.
• At 9pm, 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: Jane's minding me from 9:30am; PIG mum says we can buy my honey chicken arvo tea sushi from Underwood MarketPlace plus anymore groceries she wants from Woolies.
• Will remember to ask Jane please for two big mugs of white tea over lunch since PIG mum'll only gimme herbal tea after I get home from church after playing table tennis with dearest dad~
• Planning to read for three hours toms; will hopefully have the time to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 44TH time even though I've gotta do my daily Bible readings!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 612b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 3297 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'In The Midst Of A Busy Season'.  Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• First, we buy groceries from Woolies. When the cashier's scanning the items, I explain to her that I've not bought thirty bucks' worth of groceries, but could she please round up and slip me one? She roars with laughter, says sure! And slips me not one - but five! XD
• After one loo trip, I head into the library and find a new Feist book to read: Master Of Furies, published 2023! I happily   read that for about thirty minutes, reaching page twenty-five @ 12:07pm and finishing on page twenty-eight, when Louiza reappeared and said time to go.
• Back home, I took a nice warm shower -  hairwash today. Also thanks to Louiza who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, Louisa made me a tuna in tomato and onion toastie with TWO cheese and the inside buttered plus one huge mug of earl grey tea sweetened with one teaspoonful of honey. She would've given me one tablespoon, but the honey ran out?
• At 1:55pm I sat over the loo for two tinkles then signed Louisa off with my thanks and byes @ 2pm. She's back next Thursday same time.
• Dorrie came and made chicken wraps with me! Photos are on Facebook~
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 612

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3122 steps (ha, I'm over three grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "When God   Becomes 100% For Us'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Trust In The Lord Rather Than People' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Prayer  Walk" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-TWO MINUTES  online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 43RD time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Aww, nature called around 2sm last night and ended my current awesome sleep streak. Doesn't matter; 'twas a sound sleep otherwise~
• Following the first daytime 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 for the pot :P again around 7:45am and once more just before 9am, shortly after which PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around shortly afterwards.  Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Louiza's arrival @ 9:30am.
• Yay Louiza arrives promptly today; after mini–Pearl and I get fifteen more minutes, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, 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 with Louiza, who tells me that she had oats for breakfast this morning.
• My breakfast's two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P, 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 finishing breakfast, I ask Louiza to please gimme some sunscreen then she walks behind me back to the bathroom before 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!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Louiza's car, she kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt and then she tootles us off to Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown, finding a side park along level three and grabbing a trolley for us.
• First, we buy groceries from  Woolies. When  the  cashier's scanning the items, I explain  to  her that I've not    bought thirty bucks' worth of  groceries but could she p -  bbl!
  
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• After publishing the previous post, I began composing my Birthday Wishlist for 2026; it's due out March the 1st!

•  Michelle came for a meeting @ 2:30pm. I was reading the day's Bible passages but joined them once I'd finished.

• When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner I used the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era 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: leftover fried rice with lotsa cauliflower, lotsa soup carrot and lotsa soup   potato. Actually, dad only gave me like 2.5 TEASPOONFULS of rice and the rest were vegetables; surely the food pyramid's not balanced?? *sigh*
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowlful 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.

Thursday Post 612

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2735 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily    devotional topic from last night's "You Are Greatly Loved"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Sacrificial Living' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Rainbow Answer" but fifthly  and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY-THREE MINUTES online after I watch  the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 42ND time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 7th consecutive last night, that's already the 4th time this year I've enjoyed one straight week of consecutive awesome sleeps! Like yesterday, 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*
  
  
• Nature calls again about one hour later, shortly before PIG mum comes to hit me with the eye goo before going outside and awaiting Louisa's arrival only to return several minutes later and say "Louisa's late; fifteen more minutes. I immediately begin counting down from 900, saying please ring CODA should she have not arrived by 8:10am but phew, Louisa arrives like two minutes later~
• She says she was stuck in traffic along Logan Rd.   while I sit over the pot :P for two/three tinkles. After we get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table with Louisa.
• Breakfast was one/two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix 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, I ask Louisa to please gimme some sunscreen and then she walks behind me back to the loo before returning to the kitchen and washing up the breakfast stuff. 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 Louiza's car and she tootles me off to the Garbo library for GCCW! Thanks to her who helped me buckle my seatbelt both ways~
• At Garbo I use the loo for one tinkle then enter meeting room one. Only since the projector's not working, we're moved to meeting room two!
• Our biggest attendance for 2026: thirteen! Nancy/Merlyn even gave me a big hollow chocolate heart! I wolfed it down immediately; after the first bite I told her that I had a broken heart and she roared with laughter.  XD
• The meeting ended eight minutes early today; Mary tried to KILL me when she tried to offer me the leftover Ferrero Rocher!! >< XD 
• After one more tinkle, Louiza tootled me home and I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Louiza who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, Louiza made me a tuna in tomato and onion with TWO cheese and even buttered the inside, even though I'd forgotten to ask her for any! XD Since fresh HK-milk   tea wasn't available, I made do with a powdered instant packet.
• I'd reported left heel pain to mother over Messenger after GCCW; the malleolus was fine, but I'd rubbed a blister into the heel! o_O
• At 1:55pm I sat  once more over the loo for two tinkles then signed Louiza off with my thanks and byes @ 2pm. She's back  toms from 9:30am till 2pm.
• Cheers,
  Em.  ^^
