Tuesday Post 668

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4469 steps (cool I'm over four grand; that doesn't happen very often!); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'How To Serve A Bad Boss'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Your Rewards In Heaven' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Our Birthright In Christ'. Anyways, events for today?

• Nature  called once around 1:30am; after another pot :P trip following the Sun's rising, 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 around 7:45am and once more around 9am, just 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 before returning outside and awaiting Peggy's arrival only to come back inside and gimme   fifteen more minutes saying Peggy's late!  That'd odd; Peggy's always very punctual and I immediately start counting down from 900 seconds, reminding PIG mum please ring CODA should Peggy have not come by 9:40am.
• Phew, Peggy arrives after I've counted down four minutes and sweet, she gives me fifteen more minutes all over again! After she comes back and I'm using the pot :P for one more tinkle I ask her was she late since she'd been stuck in traffic and she screeches back because school's only just starting for the new year, some grandparents are doing the school drop-off run and taking the scenic route! XD
• Whoops less than thirty minutes left, so just super-briefly:
• Had breakfast, did stinky unspeakable then saw Winnie for physio: 1.66km bike ride, forty bar-assisted push-ups, forty steps for Elf, forty v-bar cable rows for both hands, forty leg curls for Elf, forty leg extensions for Elf, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing!
• Used loo for one tinkle (CZ258 unlocks the female bathroom and the second rail's ambulant) then went with Peggy to Pinelands Coles to buy milk and get my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi for lunch from the Pinelands Bakehouse. Unfortunately, all the disabled parks outside Coles were taken and Peggy didn't   find a park until near the post office. *sigh*
• Got home and took a nice warm shower -  hairwash  today. Also thanks to Peggy who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was my delicious toasted crunchy pork  bahn mi plus one huge mug of delicious vanilla chai; just pity Peggy couldn't find where the sneaky parents had hidden the sweetener! *sigh*
• Signed Peggy off with my thanks and byes @ 2pm; she's back same time next week.
• Used loo for one tinkle, popped online and did my daily Bible readings. Thanks to Peggy who left a pen for me.
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 15TH time!
• Toms: PIG mum says she'll take me out somewhere toms before coming home for lunch and then Jane's taking me to play table tennis @ 1:30pm!  Let there be cake~ XD Hope Kim's back!
• Jane will see me home and showered before leaving @ 6:30pm, hoping to watch the 6pm news for the 16TH time!
• Anyways, hopefully  bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers, 
  Em. ^^
  P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's, read by ) for the 15TH time: Heagney, Piper (first name, heard), Neighbour, Seymour, Lambe, Harvey, Van Lunteren, Hartley, Floodlett, Hirst, Burrows, White, Dayan (first name), Knieve, Marks, Zvirdinadis, Croucher, Katter (heard), Shoebridge, Barnaby (first name), Joyce

Monday Post 668f

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3105. See? Told you I'd crack three grand! XD   Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I finalised my GCCW story for sending.
• 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 from 9:30am till 2pm. Alas that PIG mum won't lemme grab lunch with Peggy out @ Lucky Cafe for lunch; Sunday (yesterday) already marked ONE FORTNIGHT since I've enjoyed a proper meal out!! >< *sigh*
• We'll buy groceries from Pinelands Coles and get my crunchy pork bahn mi for lunch before coming home for a shower.
• Nothing happening after Peggy leaves. Christy jie  was gonna pop over with her bubs but turns out she's taking one to his swimming lesson! Another time, then~
• Looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online, reading The Horse Whisperer for one hour and watching the 6pm news for the 15TH time!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Tee hee tonight I've managed SIX posts; that's even rarer than five! XD

Monday Post 668e

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2990 (so must have cracked 3000 before tonight's out XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Lost One'.  Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• When I was summoned over for dinner @ 7:45pm, 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 yummy wombok, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup onion and several wee chunks of surprisingly tasty but chewy beef that dad demanded I eat all together.
• 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.
• 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.  ^^
  P.S. Tee hee I've already managed FIVE posts tonight! Yeah, that's possible some Mondays.  XD

Monday Post 668d

 Good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2802. Wonder will I have reached 3000 before Monday's out? Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• Ooh, good girl, Lorraine arrived promptly this arvo! Dad was outside in the garage, and she just came inside herself, thus saving me from a potentially dangerous trip to the front door.
• 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 my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was one little yummy banana, one plain cracker and one huge mug of delicious vanilla chai; yay that Lorraine found the honey and added one spoonful for me! Happiness was reading The Horse Whisperer for one hour, reaching page fifty @ exactly 5:15pm and then having thirty minutes to play the HP version of Bejeweled! 
• At 5:55pm I used the loo for two more tinkles then signed Lorraine off with my thanks and byes. She's back same time next Monday.
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 14TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of the previous post.
• Toms: Peggy's minding me 9:30am till 2pm. Breathe physio's not till Thursday/Friday; wonder where she'll send us? Fingers, toes and all other appendages crossed that she'll let us grab lunch from Lucky Cafe since it opens @ 11am!
• Nothing planned after she leaves; originally Christy jie  was gonna pop over with her two bubs but turns out she can't now since Jonah has swimming lessons! Hopefully we'll arrange another day~
• Looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online, reading the Horse Whisperer for one hour and watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 15TH time!
• Righteo, hopefully bl after dinner,  else wishing  everyone a smashing  day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Monday Post 668c

 Good afternoon again! Take two: firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2516 steps (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Remedy for Pride'; thirdly, TWFT's "Salvation's A Gift" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's daily devotional topic's 'From Every Nation."  Anyways, events for today?

• I'm not surprised nature called last night; after videochatting with Aunty Nga for like twenty minutes she suddenly told me that she was running a temperature and I'm like eep, go rest!" ><
•  After the first daylight 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 @ 7:45am and once more around 9am, just before noisy 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 a very brief rub since she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night. That's alright; Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes and let her wear her sock to sleep last night although obviously peeled the sock off first thing this morning! XD
• PIG mum hits me with the eye goo, helps exceedingly slightly with nothing bar the bra strap and the tee (and only since I protested dad was still @ home) and then left 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 sat 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*
  
• Breakfast finished, 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, PIG mum tootles me off to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Obviously, she gleefully forced me to buckle my own seatbelt all day; we also had to listen to her Spotify playlist all day too, since she wouldn't lemme listen to the radio.
• At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle then huge thanks to him who treated my sore back with a quick massage before I lay down for more massage and some acupuncture. PIG mum was in her element, yapping ceaselessly @ him with multiple repeated syllables; my grateful thanks to Ray who always replied and kept a conversation flowing.
• After another loo trip, PIG mum tootles us back to  Warrigal Woolies to buy groceries. It's only after she's grabbed the soup beef and we're walking down the length of the store does PIG mum suddenly  realise  her wallet's not inside her bag! o_O She puts the groceries back and we leave immediately~
• Dearest dad's home when we arrive home and phew, PIG mum immediately finds her wallet!
• I finish reading today's Bible passages and plop online briefly for (literally) a few minutes before being summoned over for lunch, which is just leftovers from last night's dinner. Unsure why we can't just enjoy one proper meal out without taking leftovers for lunch the next day?
• Lunch's spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I use the loo for one tinkle then walk myself slowly and safely back 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 4-6pm today; she'd better arrive promptly!
• Hoping to read The Horse Whisperer for one hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 14TH time.
• Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm; fingers crossed PIG mum'll FINALLY lemme grab lunch with her @ Lucky Cafe! But if not, I suppose it's buying groceries from Pinelands Coles and grabbing a crunchy pork bahn mi   for lunch afterwards. Perhaps I can try asking for a Vietnamese iced coffee? It's like the middle of Summer now!
• Originally Christy jie was gonna pop over with bubs but PIG mum said don't since that's when Renee's cleaning but 4pm's already too late for Christy jie? Well I'm hoping for my most important two hours of the day, reading The Horse Whisperer for one hour and watching the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 15TH time!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
   Cheers,
  Em. ^^
