Sunday Post 325d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2115. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • I had one tinkle before I called PIG mum back; after I tapped the nice hot water off and she dried the back of the chair for me, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until my bra strap needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
  • After drying 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 70TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of today's second post.
  • When the parents called dinnertime, I used the loo for one tinkle then climbed into the backseat of Cherry. Thanks to   PIG mum who helped me buckle my seatbelt both ways, since I've got seriously night vision. *sigh*
  • Back to Ho Lin Wah for dinner. The A meal (sth with black bean) didn't suit me, so I had almost (nut not quite) half a bowl of some fried rice and almost (but again, not quite *sigh*) one bowl of the B meal (chicken in tomato sauce with rice. Dessert was one yummy fried mantou (I licked the little saucer of condensed milk clean XD) and I drank half the set soup, one cup of Chinese tea and just over one mouthful of the HK-style milk tea.
  • Back home I walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • At 9pm I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Toms: seeing Ray for some acupuncture and massage; bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him.
  • And excitement: afterwards we're meeting Mrs. Dent for lunch @ the Coffee Club!
  • Pity Jacinta's taking me to Breathe for physio right afterwards. XD But take heart: ANZAC Day this Friday means no NAB physio! :D
  • We'll buy groceries from the Warrigal Square Woolies before Jacinta sees me home and showered but may haveta skip arvo tea since I'm hoping to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 71ST time!
  •  Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2043 (ha, I'm just over two grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'I AM The Bread Of Life.' Anyways, continuing today's events?

  • After using the loo for one tinkle I walked down the hallway to the gobbling :P table, requesting some arvo tea from PIG mum. She passed me one adorable little sugar banana (consumed with one mouthful), one plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea.
  • Took a nice hot shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 15% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

Sunday Post 325

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1474 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'God, Touch Our Hearts'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'God Forgives And Forgets (2)' and thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Accountability Matters'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:05am and after one pot :P trip I immediately try falling back asleep since I knew PIG mum would get very noisy less than one hour later!
  • Success, I successfully fall back asleep and don't wake until PIG mum lets herself into my room and hits me with the eye goo. I use the pot :P once more, she helps exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and laying out the tee then leaves me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into the tee and 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 dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P and some Milo   cereal, 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 toilet, 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 and buckle my seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles us off to church (dad's the parking usher @ the entrance and salutes us) and parks outside the ESS service hall. I hike up the ramp, use the second cubicle of the normal ladies' loo (since both the disabled and first cubicle oof the normal ladies loo have lids closed but mean PIG mum won't lift them for me) for one tinkle, wash and dry both hands then grab my usual spot for service @ the most left.  PIG mum bolts back upstairs for the Canto service. 
  • Yay, I get to stay seated for worship today~ I sing everything, plus the harmony for two songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING >< *sigh*
  • Speaker today was Pastor Peter Pie's dad, Uncle Stephen! His sermon topic was The Fif Tree Without Fig and service ended thirty-seven minutes early today!
  • Dad collected me, I used the disabled loo for one tinkle (the lid was still down but dad kindly opened it), washed and dried Era then hiked around to the back for morning tea.
  • Only thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
  • Everyone else @ ESS enjoyed lunch together @ Mum's Wok but dad made me have lunch @ Hungry Jack's again; I only got *half* a burger, barely ten chips and some orange juice! *sigh*
  • Got home, did my daily Bible readings then watched the Broncos vs. Tigers replay from last night!
  • Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day I'll use the loo for one tinkle, ask PIG mum for some arvo  tea, skip the reading then shower since I'm hoping to watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 70TH time!
  • Toms: PIG mum'll help me up, since I'm seeing Ray for some massage and acupuncture toms. Bet she's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him. XD
  • Unsure are we grocery shopping together afterwards since we're meeting Mrs. Dent for lunch @ The Coffee Club toms!
  • But presumably just a short lunch since Jacinta's coming @ 2pm and taking me to Breathe for physio?
  • She'll see me home and showered before leaving @ 6pm; looking forward to reading Feist's newest novel for one hour and watching the 6pm news for the 71ST time!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^
