Monday Post 566d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2330. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I found dome Josh Groban Christmas carols to listen too; he's such a good singer~
• 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:  Peggy's minding me 9:30am till 2pm toms Unsure where PIG mum's sending us grocery shopping (or will she @ all, considering the broken AFO) and 9i'm coming home for a shower then meeting Fiona and bubs for our belated Christmas/once termly lunch! Mostly I'm hoping PIG mum'll lemme use Sparkless3 since walking with a broken AFO rather hurts ... >< 
• Excitement: Fi's said we can have bingsu for dessert @ Snow Witch afterwards! 
• No plans after Fiona drops me home; looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online, reading   Adam Reynolds' memoirs for one hour then watching the 6pm news for the 246TH time!
• Must finish my special blog post toms about Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day, since the day after's NYE and I've gotta write reflections for 2025!
• Righteo,  wishing   everyone a smashing   day  toms!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

  Good evening again! Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2266. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• When the parents summoned me over for dinner @ 7:16pm, 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 I've forgotten which vegetable (soup carrot, maybe?) a few little slices of Chinese mushrooms from Costco, a little tomato pork mince and two/three little chunks of    delicious chicken.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl online 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.
• Anyways, hopefully bbl  after one last loo trip 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! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2053 (ha, I'm just over two grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "I Have Resolved". Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• When Lorraine announced her arrival two minutes late, thanks to  PIG mum  who let her  in, thus saving me from a potentially dangerous trip to  the front  door myself. I immediately got offline and started heading into  the bathroom myself; whwn Lorraine came into view I bid  her  good afternoon then groused @  her why couldn't you come  on time?? It's the last time I*'m seeing you for  2025! Lorraine  screeched back I arrived early! But   then CODA  rang and offered me another shift! Lol, fine~
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 566

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1690 steps (ha, I'm over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "Glory's The Goal"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Quitters Never Win, Winners Never Quit' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Joyful Resilience'. Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 9th consecutive sleep last night! Nature didn't call until  6:10am, 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 called again around 7:45am and once more around 9am, just before PIG mum begins her usual noisy daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• 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. That done, 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 is one bowl of healthy cereal 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 walk myself slowly and safely back to the loo, 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. The boot gives one almighty CRACK when I swing into the car but I pay that no heed since it's been making funny noises ever since I pushed myself to walk faster than normal and hurt myself.

• At Ray's, I get outta the car and start walking into  Ray's place but only reach the passenger seat before informing PIG mum that Elf really hurts?? She takes a quick looksee and screeches your AFO's broken!!  She then immediately offers to cancel my appointment to see Ray and take me home, but I say don't bother; I'm lying down @ Ray's anyway.

• Huge thanks to Ray who immediately tries to fix my boot for me with some padding and also walks out with me to PIG mum's car holding onto Ela; unfortunately, Elf's inversion's much stronger than his padding and walking hurt. >< 

• Back home I'm allowed to use Sparkless3, score!

• Lunch was two tiny slices of oven-baked pizza and one delicious mug of iron goddess Chinese tea.

• After lunch I use the loo for one tinkle (awkward but manageable) then plop online.

• Unfortunately, dad's already done a temporary fix and I'm not using Sparkless3 anymore. *sigh* But walking without pain, yay!

• Lorraine's minding me from 4-6pm. Presuming that's the final time I'm seeing her for 2025; hope she's not late!

• Hoping to read Adam Reynolds' memoirs for one hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 245TH time!

Sunday Post 566d

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3595. See? Told you I'd pass 3.5 grand! XD  Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• Reading for one hour done, I took a nice warm shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was all done after only 11% but happily leaned fully against the right-side rail and watered myself for   another tinkle before tapping the nice warm water off and calling PIG mum back.
• Since she'll not even dry my back anymore, after PIG mum dried the back of the seat for me, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until the bra strap needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
• After I dried the loo seat I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped both   feet dry, 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.
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 244TH time. All the things I like recording are in today's second post.
• Less than  twenty minutes left,  so just  briefly:
• Ho Lin Wah's closed till  next  year but  so's Woka Underwood  and Malay  House; we ended up having dinner @ So Moon, the Korean fried chicken   restaurant that had RUN OUTTA Korean   fried chicken already! >< 
• Got home, returned online then used  the loo  for one more  tinkle  @ 9pm.
• Toms: Ray's back, so  seeing him    for some acupuncture and massage.  Bet PIG mum's simply  DYING to yap unceasingly @ him.
• Hopefully she'll take me grocery shopping  and aisle walking  before coming home for lunch, else expect a super-pissy  plodding total from me.
• Lorraine's minding me from   4-6pm;  looking forward to  reading Adam  Reybolds' memoirs for one hour then watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 245TH time once she leaves!
• Righteo, wishing   everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^
