Saturday Post 325c

 Good again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2701. Anyways, just very briefly, since I'm already outta time, final, final events for tonight?

• Watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 69TH time. All the things I like recording are in today's first post.
• Used loo for one tinkle, drank soup, took bowl to sink, returned online and used loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm.
• Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. Would love lunch out with other ESS peers but will only get like a pissy little cheeseburger, about ten chips and a small orange juice with dad. *sigh*
• Braced for a stressful arvo  @ the hands of PIG mum. *sigh* But hoping to read the new Feist novel for another hour!
• Anyways, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2645 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "Your Suffering's Not Worthless." Righteo, continuing today's events?

• I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth before drinking one cup of water then 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!

• After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Jacinta, who tells me that she had avo on toast for breakfast.
• Me, I get my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast with a very thin spread of avocado and one slice of cheese, another full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and my first big   mug of delicious Earl Grey tea (Captain Picard's choice) sweetened with one spoonful of honey. Over and after breakfast, I happily read the book club novel for thirty minutes, finishing pg. 475 @ 10:36am.
• While Jacinta closes and locks windows I sit over the loo for one more tinkle, wash and dry Era then climb into the passenger seat of Jacinta's car. She helps me with my seatbelt (as she kindly   does all day) then tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace, parks out the front near the ramp and grabs a trolley for us.
• First we both buy groceries from Woolies (mother needs milk) and then I buy my arvo tea honey chicken sushi roll from Sushi Creators.
• Back home, I take a ni e warm shower -  hairwash today. Also thanks to Jacinta who helps 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 what I cooked with the OT yesterday plus two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey. Continuing reading, I FINISHED THE BOOK @ 12:31pm and finished the Author's Note   @ 12:59pm!
• Before Jacinta dropped me off @ church to play table tennis with   dearest dad, I sat over the loo for two more tinkles.
• At church, dad and I have great fun together. He's a good boy who lets me win in straight sets - and even the extra set he said we're playing coz I've  gotta save face!  XD But he hit me with his killer shots ELEVEN times, and I came home full of holes. >< XD
• Back home, I used the loo for one more tinkle, wash and dry Era then settle down to read the newest Feist novel that Mrs. Burvill-Shaw sent me for the rest of the arvo, since it's only Saturdays that I get to spend a blessed three hours reading~
  Cheers,
  Em.   ^^

Saturday Post 325

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2540 steps (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily   devotional topic from last night's 'Embracing Jesus'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'God Forgives And Forgets (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The  Ends Of The Earth' but  fifthly and way most importantly, I'm  really still owed ONE HOUR and NINETEEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for  the 69TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:35am 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*
• Can't remember did nature call again @ 7:45am but it definitely did just before PIG mum began her daily noisy a-THUMPING around 9am. Soon, she's let herself into my room @ 9:30am to hit me with the eye goo and gimme fifteen more minutes since Jacinta's not arriving till 9:45am coz she's got a shift before me. After counting down the first five minutes, 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 PIG mum lets Jacinta inside @ 9:45am, Jacinta knocks, opens the door, says good morning and taps me. I sit up, return the greetings then use the pot :P for one more tinkle before we get me kitted.
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Friday Post 325b

 Heylo and good evening again! Take two: firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2454 steps (so will have cracked 2.5 grand before the night's out, hoorah! XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Mercy For Today'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Be Confident Of God's Love For You'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Strength To Endure' and fifthly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Recall Your Focus' but sixthly and way most importantly,  I'm really  still owed ONE HOUR and ELEVEN MINUTES online after I  use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, just briefly, events for today?

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Despite my earnest prayer to God last night asking Him please don't send the noisy garbage truck THUNDERING down the road and tipping bins until after the Sun has risen sufficiently for me   to see the time on the clock attached to the wall, he went screw you   and sent it down while 'twas still semi-dark. >< That's alright; I went screw You back and successfully fell back asleep without incident. *sigh*
• Jane minded me from 9-2pm today.
• NAB physio: Lotsa left weight shift and stepping for Erf, several steps for Elf without right weight shift, eighteen laps long hallway walking, two double leg pushups on the Tower Of Power for both legs and eighteen single leg push-ups for Elf. Travis is from HK like me and did an engineering degree first, so he is 27 and lives in St Lucia!
• Got  home and took   a nice hot  shower - hairwash  today. Also  thanks to Jane who helped me rinse out my  hair, thus freeing   Era to  hold my stupid right eye tightly  shut.
•

Thursday Post 325d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3656. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I continued reading and sharing my Facebook memories.
• At 9pm I walked myself 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. Just ugh that Elf's around the heel side's going ow again.  >< *sigh*
• Yay that tonight's ice cream night; like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Toms:  Jane's minding me from 9-2pm and taking me for a two hour NAB physio; doubt I'm lucky enough for another cancellation toms? XD 
• Jane's seeing me home and showered before leaving @ 2pm and then some new OT assistant called Christina's coming and cooking with me; hope PIG mum's chosen sth tasty!
• F9ngers crossed dad'll take us out for dinner toms night since biu jie's leaving afterwards ... but I   vaguely recall dad saying we'll have arvo tea out then return home for dinner? Well, fingers crossed we'll have arvo tea @ Ho Lin Wah and I'll finally MEET my current food goal of drinking a hot HK-style milk tea to myself; a goal I've held for MORE THAN ONE YEAR!! If that happens, I've already got another food goal ready: I wanna try that new KFC burger that comes with a hash brown!!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
