Thursday Post 323b

 Heylo again and good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3808 (so won't reach four grand before tonight's out, sorry  XD) but secondly  and way most importantly,  I'm really still owed SIXTEEN MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, lemme start with Tuesday's events, just briefly?

  • Had my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse for lunch then  had UQ physio with Vincente for two hours: Barefoot Elf thirty-five sit-to-stands with left and forward weight shift, more standing reaching card work for Era, five hikes up the slope and back down.
  • Wednesday's events, just briefly?
  • Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:45am~
  • Louiza took me to table tennis @ 1:30pm but was stuck majorly in bad traffic all the way home; I thanked her every time I passed another level of Jewel Queen. XD
  • Pastor Peter Pie gave me a lift to GG~  Loved the three slices of sausage PIG mum included in the rice leftovers she gave me for dinner!
  • Muji started with a prayer for us before she goes to Toowoomba for five/six weeks physio placement!
  • Last night, Pastor Peter Pie led everyone through Study 5: Facing Your Thorns and he dropped me home afterwards.
  • Now, today, just briefly?
  • Louiza minded me from 9:30am till 2pm; we went grocery shopping @ the Underwood MarketPlace Woolies and bought groceries for my cooking adventures with Ari this arvo!
  • PIG mum ordered I write out the recipe for Ari and kindly found a lined notebook for me before going out for pool exercises.
  • After Ari and I cooked chicken  oyakudon together, PIG mum drove me out to Bupa Optical and we  both collected our new specs from Bupa Optical; Rico was there! Unfortunately PIG mum wouldn't lemme grab any arvo tea from Eight Street (even though I told her I was willing to hike all the way there) but she lemme buy a box of green tea Pocky from Daiso! 
  • Got home, did my daily  Bible readings, tootled online then watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's)   for the 184TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of the previous post.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Monday Post 323d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3943. Sorry, not quite four grand; maybe toms. XD Righteo, final,  final events for tonight?

  • After another loo trip, PIG mum tootles me home and we share lunch with dearest dad, just one bowl of rice leftovers spooned down with one bowl of soup.
  • After taking the bowl  over to  the sink, I walk myself slowly  and safely online and start  reading  the day's Bible passages, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

  • Only thirty minutes left, so just  briefly: Jacinta came @ 2pm  and took   me to  Breathe for physio: 1.518km bike ride, forty bar-assissted push ups with left weight shift, forty steps for Erf with more left weight shift, forty steps for Elf, forty v-bar cable rows for both hands, forty leg curls for Elf, forty leg curls for Erf, forty leg extensions for Elf, forty leg curls for Elf, forty leg extensions for Erf, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing!
  • Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
  • Bought groceries with Jacinta @ the Sunny Park Woolies, came home and showered - hairwash  today.  Also thanks to Jacinta 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 some fruit, one tasty cracker and TWO big mugs of white tea with  sweetener - Jacinta found where PIG mum had hidden it! Read A Fortunate Life for fifty minutes.
  • Used loo for two more tinkles @ 5:55pm then signed Jacinta off with my thanks and byes. She's back Saturday 9:30am till 1/1:30pm.
  • Happily watched the 6pm  news bulletin (Nine's)  for  the 182ND time. All the interesting names I  saw while watching the 6pm news (Nine’s, read by Melissa Downes and Joel  Dry) for the 183RD  time: Pavlich, O’Loughlin, Heinke, Geran, Saiini (heard), Cannon, Sanders, Crisafulli, D’Alessandro, Barnaby (first name), Joyce, Croucher, Hume, O’Neil, Chalmers, Francis, Hadley (heard), Fitzsimons (heard), Greer, Pannetierre, Skip (first name), Miles, Sinclair, Volodomyr (first name, heard), Zelensky (heard), Pang, Langdon, Todd, IIsaiya (first name), Katoa, Nikorima (heard)Ryan, Basterfield, Chester (first name), Jackson, Tunavasa, Misi (first name),Weatherald, McSweeney (heard), Shanto, Djodan, Labuschagne (heard),Campbell (first  name), Graham, Williams,NganTrump, Pullar, Addison, Mookhey, Annrose (first name), Djokovich, Kroehn  Geran, Mousely (heard), Munster, Slater (heard), Bellamy (heard),Heironymus, Tomasi, Federer (heard), Nadal (heard) and McLeod.

Brisbane toms: 13-21.  Mt. Gravatt toms: 10-21. Sunrise: 6:15am Sunset 5:29pm

  • Had dinner, drank soup, read for ten more minutes (since I like reading for one hour where possible), used loo for one tinkle,  returned online and used loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm.
  • Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till 4pm. We're buying groceries from  Pinelands Coles plus my  once-weekly  crunchy pork  bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakery and then coming home for lunch before Peggy tootles me off to  the NAB for two hours of physio with Vincente.
  • Excitement: dad's taking me  too  see The Odyssey @ like 5:45pm! PIG mum  says I've gotta hike a few stairs to reach the D-BBox seat that shakes; worth it!  Would love dinner out afterwards but   prolly just  coming home for dinner. *sigh* Still, yay for some precious Dadddy-daughter time.  Jacinta warned me today that the movie actually   gets quite bloody vut I'm not scared: dad will protect me.  XD 
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day  toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Monday Post 323c

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3882 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'He Held Nothing Back' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

  • After PIG mum helps me with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and laying the tee out she 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 batthroom 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 slice of dry (unbuttered)  toast very lightly spread with avocado and for some reason the PLATE (not the toast) very lightly sprinkled with salt (no matter, I just licked the plate  clean afterwards XD), 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 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, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and she tootles me off to     see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Lol, we arrive that early; he's not even opened his front gate yet! XD

  • After it's time, we head inside. I use the loo for  one tinkle then lie down for some @ times ouchy left limb massage and acupuncture. PPIG mum's in her element, yapping ceaselessly @ Ray;  my grateful thanks to him  who  always replied and kept  a conversation flowing. Actually,  PIG mum deserves congratulations too; today she only repeated one syllable thrice and another four times! XD
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Monday Post 323b

 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 1449 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily   devotional  topic from last night's 'Why You Give Into  Sexual Sin'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Have A Cooperative Spirit' and fourthly, Our Daily  Bread's devotional topic's 'Plague Of Lies' but fifthly  and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and FORTY-FIVE MINUTES after I watch  the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 182ND time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Nature called once around 12:15am; 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*
  • After that, Daddy  Bear and I happily cuddled and snored till  nearly  9am before I  woke again   for the pot! :P Shortly afterwards, PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUJPING around upstairs and soom,  she's let herself into my room  to  hit me   with the eye goo   and give poor Elf  an extremely brief rub since she totally ignored her last night, like she's done for the last 1.5  WEEKS! >< That's alright, Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes and let her wear her sock to sleep last night though obviously removed the sock  first thing this morning.  XD
  • Cheers,
    Em. ^^
