Thursday Post 487c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3182. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• Shortly after publishing the previous post, PIG mum   comes over and I've gotta  let her gleefully force poor Ela on one set of those FitMi  exercises.
• Set done and keyboard returned, I happily played Jewels for ten minutes since I've already read and shared the She Reads Truth daily devotional.
• 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.
• Toonight's ice cream night, yay! Like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Toms: Peggy's hopefully coming @ 9:30am and taking me to Breathe for physio @ 11am.
• Presuming we'll buy groceries after before I come home for a shower.
• After Peggy leaves Sin Ye's coming to give Ela one hour of unfunctional exercises.
• Looking forward to  arvo tea afterwards; PIG mum had better remember to gimme a packet of HK-style milk tea since she refused to today, saying the iced chocolate I had already had too much sugar! *sigh*
• Will hopefully read for one hour and might even get to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 52ND time!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a lovely end to the  week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3073 (ha, I'm just over three grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Satan Schemes, God Redeems'.  Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• PIG mum got dearest dad to start dinner without me when the weather report was just starting; after the news ended, I called out may I please come eat dinner too? Only PIG mum totally ignored and just talked over the top of me, I went again; excuse me, the news has finished; may I please join? Luckily dad immediately replied come~
• I used the loo for one tinkle and walked myself slowly and safely 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 boiled yummy cauliflower,  lotsa soup tomato, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup onion and three wee chunks of chewy, tasteless soup beef. A far cry from lunch; wonder when my next proper meal out's coming?
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowlful   of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walk myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after one last loo  trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening Friday else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!

Thursday Post 487

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2797 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Fifteen Tactics For Joy'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Consult God On Your Daily   To-Do List' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Listening For God's Face". Anyways, events for today?

• Wait, sorry! Wednesday's final, final plodding total's actually 4625! Dad took me to table tennis since CODA suddenly fluffed up the shift; for Gary's birthday we all got a mini Caramello Koala! 
• Had GG Bible study @ Serena and Leo's. Ten came last night and our Bible study was from Acts 1:15-26.
• Yay, 7th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 7:20am and even though May's only started today, it's already the 10TH time I've scored one consecutive week of awesome sleeps! :D
• Karina came @ 9:30am and we went grocery shopping @ Warrigal Square Woolies before I came home for a shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Karina who helped me rinse out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Actually, we went grocery shopping not @ the Warrigal Square Woolies but the Sunnybank Hills one; I got PIG mum a Mother's Day card and present! 
• While Karina cleaned the bathroom I wrote out the card for PIG mum.
• Had our once-termly lunch with Pastor Grace and Reverend @ the new Sai Bistro!
• I had the eggs benedict with fried chicken; the fried chicken was delicious, but the hollandaise sauce tasted weird since it wasn't yellow but orange! o_O The iced chocolate was nice, though~ Pastor Grace even brought me a new pack of instant powdered HK-style milk tea! Pity rotten PIG mum won't lemme drink one since she said my iced chocolate already contained too much sugar. *sigh*
• Back home I used the loo for one tinkle and then plopped online.
• Annoying PIG mum's already made me return to the bathroom once to check sth.
• Once I've used up my most important two hours of the day I'll use the loo for one tinkle and then sit @ the gobbling :P table to read for one hour and await PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea. *still pining after my HK-style milk tea. ><*cranky*
• Toms: presuming Peggy's coming @ 9:30am and taking me to Breathe for physio @ 11am; have got the SMS text reminder from Breathe but Michelle's still not sent me May's roster yet.
• I've had two weeks off from having a formal OT session but I suppose Sin's coming back toms; hope it's a cooking session!
• Oh, fingers crossed that I can  watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 52ND time after I watch it for the 51ST time tonight!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else hope everyone has a smashing end to the week toms!
  Cheers,

Tuesday Post 486

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3349 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Great Exchange'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Take It Off, And Move Forward' and  fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's Hopeless/Hopeful but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-FIVE MINUTES online after I get home from Toastmasters tonight!! *sigh* But I enjoyed my 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night (bid Pearl sweet dreams, fell asleep and didn't wake till 7:10am and then Asha took me to Coles and we brought groceries and my once weekly bahn mi from Coles.  Not only that, she shouted me a Vietnamese iced coffee! :D Came home for lunch and then saw Phillip for our second-last physio session together. Physio today: Perching on edge of the plinth with reduced thigh support,  reaching for Era with left weight shift,  ten laps walking along the parallel bars with more left weight shift and four laps long hallway walking. Came home and did my daily set of FitMi exercises before munching arvo tea and reading for one hour. Nisha arrived and I showered;  we're hitting Toastmasters tonight!  Toms I'm unsure what's happening in the morning but tomorrow's shifts for table tennis and shower afterwards are both TBAs! Dr. Lee's taking me to GG for the second Bible study. Oh, and fingers crossed someone brings me a bubble tea for national bubble tea day!! :D Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
Cheers,

Monday Post 486d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total  for Monday now stands @ 4207. Righteo,  final, final events for tonight?

• At 9pm, I walk myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one 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'll help me up around 9:30pm, since Asha's not coming till 10am. Presuming we'll buy groceries from Coles Pinelands and get groceries from Coles before getting a crunchy pork bahn mi for lunch.
• Asha's taking me to my last NAB physio session with Phillip @ 12:15pm. Should we finally get to hike the Great Court once, I'll prolly  start crying: 2025 marks two DECADES since I first traversed around the Great Court myself, studying law and filled with hopes for the future. Alas, twenty years later, here I am, taking nearly one full hour to walk/hobble/limp/stagger/you pick a verb :P once around the circumference. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. >< Not that I've ever been mighty! XD
• Asha will see me home and showered before leaving @ 4pm. Will remind PIG mum Ela's gotta do those FitMi exercises for her once since Nisha's coming and taking me to Toastmasters (5th Tuesday meeting)!
• Looking forward to   getting dinner from Maccas; never mind that Unhappy Meals were what I got like three DECADES ago! *sigh*
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 486c

 Good evening again! Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 4059. Ha, I'm just over four grand; that doesn't happen often! XD Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• 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/
• Dried, creamed and  rekitted, lunch was one yummy banana, about half a plain cracker and one huge mug of white tea sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar. Originally, PIG mum had already left me one huge mug of some herbal tea for arvo tea but I told Catherine that I'd already drunk herbal tea for lunch; can you please find some sweetener and pour a white tea for me? Catherine found the extra strong English breakfast teabags and the sugar, woot!
• Happily read the Terry Pratchett novel from Mrs. Burvill-Shaw for one hour, reaching page fifty @ exactly 4:20pm. Meaning I got thirty-five minutes to play Jewels!
• At 5:55pm, I sat over the loo once more for two tinkles (my monthlies arrived) then said my thanks and byes to Catherine.
• Happily watched the 6pm bulletin (Nine's) for the FIFTIETH time. All the things I like recording are in today's first post.
• When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner around 7:30pm, I used the loo for one tinkle and 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 cos lettuce, lotsa soup carrot, two/three wee chunks of tasteless soup beef and one slice of yummy chicken, which I obviously saved for last.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup (it contained one extra slice of carrot, one extra slice of potato and one extra slice of beef); after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• PIG mum came over @ 8:15pm and gleefully forced poor Ela on one set of those FitMi exercises.
• Anyways, hopefully bbl  after one last loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tomnight plus what's happening toms else wishing everyone a smashing Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
