Tuesday Post 604

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3851 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Why We Don't Lose Heart'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Need For Connectedness' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Sustained By God' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm  really  still owed ONE HOUR and FORTY-THREE MINUTES online after I get home from Toastmasters with Lorraine!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:45am 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*
  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P   when   PIG mum's mobile went off! Shortly afterwards, PIG mum let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and tell me that dearest dad had just rung her and said he'd arrived safely in Singapore.
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3654. Righteo,   final, final events for tonight?

  • At 8:30pm I had to let PIG mum    gleefully force poor Ela on one set of those FitMi exercises for her. Only the call was interrupted by dearest dad's Whatsapp  videocall; he'd already checked in!
  • After finishing those exercises for her, PIG mum helped me find Silence Wang's English song on YouTube; it's actually called 'No One Knows'! Lol, only watching it did I  realise he sang 'I know that your heart is nearly HERE' and not 'I know your heart is nearly HEALED'! XD
  • At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one 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: Angelica's minding me 9:30am till 2pm. Personally, I'm hoping it'll be too windy to hike around Rochedale Park, and we can just go buy groceries from Coles Pinelands Plaza and get a crunchy pork  bahn mi (and, and a Vietnamese iced coffee XD) before coming home for lunch. Oh,  what about  the bubble tea?? XD
  • Lorraine's taking me  to Toastmasters for our 5th week meeting! If she'll lemme have a milkshake with my Unhappy Meal I'll let her buy chips and a soft serve sundae (no syrup)  for  dinner. XD
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day  toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Monday Post 604c

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3623 (ha, I'm over 3.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'My Ever-Present Help'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

  • When Catherine announced her arrival @ precisely   4:45pm, I walked myself slowly   and safely to the front door and let her in, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • So a nice hot shower for me - hairwash  today. Also thanks to Catherine who   helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. While I washed myself, Catherine told me that she's visiting Japan soon! 
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted,  arvo tea was one adorable, sweet tiny sugar banana, one plain cracker and one big mug of English breakfast tea with milk but unfortunately   Catherine couldn't find where sneaky PIG mum had hidden the sugar. *sigh*
  • While Catherine very gently massaged Ela, I happily watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 133RD time. Eep,  Mt. G ravatt's only  gonna be *five* toms!! >< *wails* XD
  • When the ad break before the sports report started, I quickly used the loo for one more tinkle and Catherine sneakily left two minutes early. XD
  • One the news ended, the parents and I had one last dinner before Uncle Slam drove dearest dad to the airport! I thought dinner tasted great since 'twas rice with the final leftovers of the chicken dish I'd cooked with Dorrie three days ago; cheesy rice's a winner! XD
  • Uncle Slam actually arrived five minutes early to drive dad to the airport, but they spent that time ensuring he'd packed the most important things e.g. ticket, passport and belts for Uncle Fung. Unsure did anybody want else, like health supplements?
  • Obviously I walked dearest dad out to the car and smothered him with big hugs and kisses before Uncle Slam drove him to airport, and I returned online after using the loo for one more tinkle.
  • At 8:20pm I   walked myself once slowly and safely to   the loo for one tinkle and back, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

  • At 8:20pm, I walked myself once more slowly  and safely to the  loo  for one tinkle and back,  again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

Monday Post 604b

 Heylo again, good afternoon and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I   get to post online before midday.  XD Firstly, today I've been   hard @ work plodding 2857 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "If You Don't Fight Lust; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'When You Feel Blah' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'To See And To Serve'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Nature called once around 1:30am, following another pot :P trip   after the Sun had risen, 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*
  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P 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 help me exceedingly slightly with the tops before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
  • When I call out and tell PIG mum   I've finished mostly independently kitting myself, she comes back to finish with only Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Eww, the phlegm I coughed up yesterday was yellow but this morning it's GREEN, gross! ><" 
  • Teeth brushed, 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 plain porridge cross warmed healthy cereal with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado   and hopefully very lightly sprinkled with salt, 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 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!
  • Since PIG mum's still upstairs when I'm exiting the bathroom, I first walk myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I quickly publish today's first post. XD
  • When PIG mum's finally ready, I climb into the backseat of her car. Amazingly, she HELPS me buckle my seatbelt all day! We also listen to her Chinese pop collection all day too. First stop:  Ray's for some massage and acupuncture.
  • At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle and then lie down for some massage and acupuncture. PIG mum's in her element yapping unceasingly @ Ray; today she repeated two/three different words SIX times! XD Elf's calf hurt during the massage but for the first time, Elf's thigh felt how comfortable the massage was! Plus yay for shoulder CPR~
  • After another tinkle, PIG mum tootled me back to Warrigal Square Woolies and we bought groceries only we nearly couldn't find a park and not only that, BUT PIG mum was ALSO unable to withdraw $200 from the self-serve check out!
  • Back home, dad had lunch   ready for us: TASTY two-minute noodles with lotsa lettuce, two/three small slices of pork and a MASSIVE slice of fried egg! 
  • Lunch was washed down with one cup of herbal tea (green?) after taking the bowl over to the sink 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. 
  • Lorraine was gonna mind me from 4-6pm but suddenly CODA rang and said Catherine's coming 4:45pm till 6:45pm instead! Suppose that   cancels out reading for one hour, but hopefully I   can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 133RD time!
  • Toms: Angelica's minding me from 9:30am till like 1:30pm; presuming we'll buy groceries from Coles Pinelands plus get my once-weekly crunchy pork  bahn mi. PIG mum was suggesting hike around Underwood Park but I'm not interested if it's windy! Mostly I'm just hoping Angelica will get Vietnamese iced coffee and bubble tea for us: she's introduced me to chocolate pearl milk tea with COOKIE, OMG!! XD
  • Looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online and must remind PIG mum to please gimme some RICE for   arvo  since I'm only getting an UnHappy Meal with an orange juice for dinner toms night!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl after Catherine leaves, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Sunday Post 604c

 Good evening again and one greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total  for Sunday now stands @ 3626.  Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

  • Afterwards, I happily played Royal Match and chatted with Joanne.
  • When PIG mum tumbled down from  pigland around 5:10pm and ordered I   shower, I walked myself slowly and safely into   the bathroom, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • So a nice hot shower for me -   I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully 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 10% but happily leaned fully against the right-side siderail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling PIG mum back.
  • After I'd tapped the nice hot water off and she'd 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 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 online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine’s,  read by Mia Glover) for the 132ND time: Jiselle (first name), Manning, Gibson, Todhunter, Crisafulli, Farmer, Gerber, Croucher, Gillespie,  Littleproud, Netanyahu (heard), Albanese, Everett, Cobbo, Cook, Greer, Butler, Burdi, Soucie, Reagan (heard), Sinclair, Trump, Epstein (heard), Titmus,  Ledecky (heard),Schmidt, Kelly,Djodan, Keir (first  name), Starmer, Meyer, Marr, Sainsbury, Oliver, Thompson, Cameron  (heard),Eldridge, Kelly, Jakob (first  name), Funk, Groves,Piastri,  Norris, Verstappen  (heard), Zampa, Maxwell, Tevita (first name, heard), Bailey,Schwarzenecker,  Margot (first  name, Robbie (heard),Tatola (heard), Wighton (heard) and Cleary. Bronte Gildea read the sports report and Ebony Cavallaro read the weather report from New Farm. Brisbane was 15-21 today. Brisbane toms: 10-21. Mt. Gravatt toms: 8-20.  Sunrise: 6:31am Sunset 5:18pm BTW during some ad break I put the puffer vest since 'twas getting cold.

  • Did my weekly file backup and when PIG mum said dinnertime, used the loo for one tinkle then   climbed into the backseat of the   car. Thanks to    PIG mum who helped me buckle my seatbelt tonight since I've got seriously sh*tty night vision, amongst other disabilities. *sigh*

  • We had our last dinner from Ho Lin Wah until dearest dad goes back to HK toms night and returns since PIG mum won't/can't drive @ night. I had about one bowl of the B meal (beef with mushroom sauce in rice), about half a bowl of the seafood in egg sauce with ho fan, one slice of the yummy shallot pancake and drank one cup of Chinese tea, half the set soup and just over one mouthful of the HK-style milk tea.

  • Back home I walked 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.

  • 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: PIG mum'll  help  me up, since I've got a late morning appointment to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Bet she's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD

  • PIG mum says she'll take me grocery shopping afterwards, to have passed 1000 before arriving home for lunch with dearest dad.

  • Hopefully Michelle'll  will  lemme know toms who's minding me  4-6pm since the roster still says TBA. 

  • Looking forward to  reading for one hour and watching the 6pm  news bulletin  for the 133RD time!

  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing  day  toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3551 (ha, I'm just over 3.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "Salvation's Dirty Work". Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

  • Once I'd enjoyed my most important two hours of the day online, I used the loo for one tinkle and then sat down @ the gobbling :P table to read for one hour and munch the  arvo tea PIG mum kindly left me before heading upstairs for her long arvo  nap.
  • Today I reached page seventy-five @ exactly 3:20pm and reached pg. 100 @ 4:16pm. Arvo   tea was one plain cracker, one adorable tiny sugar banana and one huge mug of herbal (green/peppermint) tea.
