Sunday Post 611c

 Good evening again and one final   greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ exactly 2000. Nice number, eh? Actually, 'twas actually 1998, but that number so pissed me off that I stood, took two steps forward then sat again. XD Anyways, just briefly, final, final events for tonight?

  • After the usual breakfast I did a stinky unspeakable and then Caroline tootled me off to the first table tennis competition for 2026! 
  • My heart sank when Kim put me into the same group as Matty, Garry and Nicole since they were all better than me! ><"
  • Playing first   against Matty, he won the first set and I won the 2nd and 3rd but when I cheered yay I only need to win won more set to win the game the umpire (some Asian but not Chinese) said no, that's it: best of three! Ela's just happy that she got to show Mrs. Matty's mum (Anita?)  how Matty sometimes congratulates me when I pull off a good shot!
  • Next, I beat Gary:  in STRAIGHT SETS!
  • Ending with embarrassment: Nicole beat me in straight sets. ><" *cringe* XD
  • Caroline tootled mee down the road to Subway for lunch and score, she lemme use Sparkless3; PIG mum definitely would've made me walk the short distance. XD
  • And she lemme buy a FOOTLONG! :D I tried some southern fried chicken one; delicious  but eeo slightly spicy! ><" The rainbow choc chip  cookie was awesome too  but  since I didn't have enough money  to  buy    a poppa of  chocolate milk I just drank water.
  • Doubles: Adrian and I won our  first  doubles match against Justin in straight  sets!
  • Jaewon's mum umpired our second match   against This time, Adrian and I won against Jo and Matty - also  in straight sets!
  • Only when I realised the gold medal match  was against Nicole I thought I'd losa again  to her ...
  • But Adrian and I WON against Rohan and Nicole -  we are the champions! :D
  • Got home and took  a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also  thanks to  Caroline who helped me rinse  out my  hair, thus freeing Era to hold my  stupid  right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried,  creamed and rekitted, I   ate arvo  tea and read the Matthew Reilly  book  for one hour, finishing  page seventy-five @  3:41pm and reaching pg. 100 @ 3:42pm.
  • Watched 6pm  news bulletin (Nine's) for  the 39TH time. All the things I like recording  are in  the previous post.
  • Had our usual  once-weekly family  dinner out  together from  Ho Lin Wah. Had less than one bowl of rice, less than  half  a  bowl  of thin   soupy ho    fan with  cuttlefish ball, drank one cup  of Chinese tea, half  the  set soup  and just over one mouthful of the HK-style milk   tea.
  • Got home and returned online.
  • Used loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm.
  • Toms: PIG mum'll  help me up   since I'm  seeing Ray for  some acupuncture and massage. PIG mum  says we can  buy  groceries before coming home for  lunch with dearest  dad.
  • Arvo appointment to APO; hope Peter fixes the AFO properly ...
  • Have just emailed for tomorrow's TBA from   4-6pm.
  • Hopefully    can watch the 6pm news for the 40TH time toms!
  • Anyways, hope eberyone has  a smashing  week  ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

Sunday Post 611

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1418 steps (aww, nearly1.5 grand!); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Our Servant, Jesus'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Do It All For The Glory Of God (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Schooled In  Love' but  fifthly   and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-ONE MINUTES online after I watch  the 6pm   news  bulletin (Nine's) for the 39TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  •  Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't  call until 5:25am (my favourite thing   about  Summer: how  early the Sun rises!) 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*
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 611c

 Good evening again   and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4375. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

  • At 9pm, I walk 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: PIG mum's gonna help me up, since @ 8:30am some Caroline Kennedy's taking me to   compete in the first  para-table tennis competition for this year instead of attending church! Neither PIG mum nor I remember her but Michelle says she used to look after me before she took maternity leave!
  • There's a Domino's pizza there but PIG mum has ordered I get Subway. *sigh*
  • Braced for a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum ... *another sigh*
  • Wonder where dad'll take us for our once-weekly family dinner out together? It's been an unsuccessful pre-birthday month.; we're near the end of the month and it feels like I've not enjoyed a proper meal out yet. *sigh number three*
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing end to   the weekend toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
    P.S. Maybe expect a super-pissy plodding  total from me? Using  Sparkless3 toms~

Saturday Post 611b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4283 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Splash-overs Of Heaven'. Righteo,  continuing  events for today?

  • Once Sharon arrives, I roll  outta bed and use the pot :P for one more tinkle. Once we get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom, asking Sharon please to bring me a cup of water while I brush teeth. That done, I drink the water then sit 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. For breakfast, I enjoy my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of   dry (unbuttered) toast, drink another tall cup of water, pop all my usual drugs :P and enjoy my first big mug of white tea sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar.  While Sharon makes my bed for me, I happily read the book club novel for thirty minutes first up, reaching pg.350 @ 10:38am.
  • After reading for thirty minutes, Sharon slathered my face and both arms with sunscreen then walked behind me back   to the bathroom then returned to the dining room to close and lock windows.
  • I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then climb into the passenger seat of Sharon's car. Did you know, she's born in the CNY of the Rabbit, just like me; I'm twelve years her senior!
  • Sharon tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace, parks around the side and grabs a trolley for us.
  • Didn't see Hambo today and originally the checkout dude wouldn't slip me a Woolies card pack when I asked but when his receipt machine stuffed up and we had to   wait, he gave me one! :D
  • Back home, I took a nice warm shower -   hairwash today. Also thanks to Sharon who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was the omelette I'd cooked with Dorrie but sandwiched between two slices of toast - delicious! Thanks to Sharon who made me two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar.
  • Over and after lunch I happily continued reading, reaching pg. 375 @ 12:39pm.
  • At 12:35pm, I sat once more over the loo for two tinkles then Sharon tootled me off to church to play table tennis with dearest dad~
  • Once seated inside I signed Sharon off with my thanks and byes. She's back next fortnight Saturday same time~
  • Had great fun playing table tennis with dearest dad; he even lemme win - in straight sets! Will   take that   as a good omen for the table tennis competition toms. XD Only he plays too violently: I copped body shots @ least four times!  ><" XD
  • After dad tootled me home I used the loo  for one tinkle,  washed and dried Era then  sat  down to  read for a good long while, since it's only Saturdays that I can   spend a blessed three hours reading~

  • I FINISHED THE  BOOK @ 2:41!! 

  • Sharon was awesome and found me ScareCrow And The Army Of Thieves to keep reading; I reached page fifty @ exactly 4:10!
  • After I'd spent three hours reading I used the loo for one tinkle, plopped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 38TH time! All the things I like recording are in the previous post. Oh, and Uncle Slam appeared for dinner:  he's collecting Anna from the airport (flying back from Singapore tonight) toms morning!
  • Once the news ended, I used the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era then walked myself slowly    and safely over 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 lettuce/broccoli and three delicious chunks of chicken with that ginger and shallot oil.
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I 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.
  • PIG mum suddenly comes overbearing a cup of sesame dessert soupo she'd blended tonight for me plus a little forkful of delicious CNY cake from our neighbour!
  • Righteo,  hopefully  brb after one more 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 Sunday ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 611

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4183 steps (sweet that's the second consecutive day I'm over four grand!); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Amazed @ The Resurrection'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Do It All For The Glory Of God (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily   Bread's devotional topic's 'Remembering To  Forget' but fifthly  and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TEN MINUTES online after I watch  the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 38TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, what better way to start the weekend then with my 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night? Like yesterday,  nature didn't call until  6:20am  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*
  • After nature called again around 7:45am, following another pot :P trip 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*

  •  Nature calls once more around 9:15am and not long after that, PIG mum begins her daily noisy   a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room around 9:30am and say fifteen more minutes since once Sharon arrives @ 9:45am, I'll get up.
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^
    P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's, read by Mia Glover) for the 38TH time: Sheeran, Makenna (first name), Baily, Hogan, De Campo, Vasta, Reed (first name),  Mahoney, Crisafulli, Mimi (first name), Becker, Walker, Rozenberg, Epstein (heard), Kumar,  Sailesh (first name), Mountbatten-Windsor, Bavas, Lillibet (first name), Harris, Noble, Ha-teya (first name), Gripske,  Goepper,Swepson, Marnus (first name), Labuschahne (heard), Aki (first name), Oide, Cherry-Evans, Desi (first name), Blizzard (heard), Riddingius,  Tomasi, Feeney,  Brock (first name),  de Pasquale (heard), Sinclair, Trump, Newsom, Balme, Gout (first name), Gout, RTyan, Kyea (first name, Wheatley, Hicks White, Kennedy, Darragh, McGoverne, Mulino, Haig and Stolz.

Friday Post 611d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 4782. Righteo, final, final events for   tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post, I had fifteen minutes to mindlessly play Puppy Match.
  • Suddenly PIG mum says I'm gonna practise calligraphy! You wanna try?  I reply sure, I'll come @ 9pm.
  • At 9pm I head over to the gobbling :P table and scrawl  dai  (in Canto: big). XD Then I walk myself once slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

  •  Toms: Sharon's minding me 9:45am till 1pm. Just going to buy my arvo  tea sushi; PIG mum hasn't checked the Woolies catalogue yet.
  • Sharon should give me one big mug of white tea with sweetener for breakfast and two after shower; she did last fortnight!
  • Looking forward to playing table tennis with dearest dad then going home and reading all arvo; surely, after reading for three hours I'll have finished the book!! Can't help but hate myself so badly for reading so   slowly post brain injury. >< *sigh*
  • But will skip watching the 6pm news for the 38TH time should I get to read for three hours since I've also gotta complete my daily Bible readings!
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^
