Wednesday Post 603c

 Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 2307 but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY-SIX MINUTES online after I get back home from table tennis tonight!! *sigh* Anyways, let's just cover last night's events very briefly!

• Lorraine tootled me off to the pub for our belated Toastmasters changeover function but to the West End one not the Woolongabba one!! >< XD 
• But we arrived @ the correct one @ 7:15pm and immediately ordered dinner! Only seven here last night~
• The roast pork meal with chips (I traded some greens for that) was delicious; I even shook the saltshaker over my chips lotsa times! XD Plus the Yorkshire pudding was ENORMOUS and I love pastry!! :D
• Aarunan left first @ 9:05pm   and we all left shortly after that. Arrived home about three minutes late and Lorraine says I'll see her again next Monday 4-6pm. She's only two months younger than me but already has a seventeen-year-old son! The son lives with her dad over in Zimbabwe and has high-functioning cerebral palsy; apparently the birth was very difficult, and some doctor actually tried to push him outta her tummy? o_O 
• Repeat the usual nightly events and zzz~
• Today: yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night!  Nature didn't call until dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently down the hallway and unpopped the lock into the garage that awoke me; 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 dearest dad kisses me bye, retucks me back into bed and leaves for work   @ Aunty Yvonne's place, Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P when woken by noisy PIG mum's daily   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 only the tops before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• After PIG mum comes back to finish with only Elf's AFO straps and both laces 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's one bowl of warmed healthy cereal and plain porridge with one slice of dried (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and for some reason the PLATE 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 breakfast, I  walk myself slowly  and safely back to the loo, 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!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 602d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3725. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• At 5:40pm, I used the loo once more for two tinkles before signing Angelica off with my thanks and byes. Unsure when I'm seeing again since she's gotta attend the funeral of some former client next time she's looking after me.
• Happily watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 119TH time. All the things I like recording are in today's 2nd post.
• When PIG mum summoned me for dinner around 7:20pm, I used the loo for one tinkle then 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 cos lettuce, lotsa  pumpkin, one small slice of tasteless soup beef, one yucky marinated pork rib and one yummy little ball leftover from hotpot.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; 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.
• At 8:30pm, I let PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela on one set of those FitMi  exercises for her. Tonight, that took twenty-six minutes.
• At 9pm, I walked 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: Jules will come @ 9:30am, help me up, take me to Pinelands Plaza to buy groceries from Coles and buy my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi before coming home for lunch then taking me to the NAB for physio with Mandy @ 1pm. She'll see me home and showered before leaving @ 4pm.
• Then, excitement: Lorraine's coming @ 5:30pm and taking me to the pub for our belated changeover function! Fingers crossed pork's the roast of the day, that PIG mum'll  leave me enough for ice cream and Viktor'll shout me a vodka! XD
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  

   

Monday Post 602c

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3637 (ha, I'm over 3.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'What A Friend'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• So a nice hot shower for me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Angelica who rinsed out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo  tea was some fruit, one plain cracker and one delicious huge mug of Ceylon tea, sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar. Also thanks to PIG mum who found me a little piece of heart-shaped chocolate for World Chocolate Day! :D Happiness was reading for one hour; today I found the book title on pg. 173, finished pg. 175 @ 4:19pm, found the book title twice on pg. 177 and finished pg. 200 @ 5:07pm. While I happily   read, PIG mum yapped @ Angelica; wonder why she wasn't upstairs resting?
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 602b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3349 but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTEEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 119TH time!! Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• Once PIG mum finally comes back to finish Elf's AFO straps and both shoelaces, it's 9:45am. That done, I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and 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 was one bowl of warmed Special K cereal mixed with porridge and one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mouthful 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.

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. Amazingly, she HELPS me with my seatbelt before tootling me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage.
• At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle and then lie down for some massage and acupuncture from Ray. Lol, PIG mum was that excited @ getting to yap, she'd already repeated one syllable SEVEN times before I'd even laid down! XD As usual, my favourite was the shoulder CPR~
• After one more tinkle, PIG mum tootled me back to Warrigal Square and we bought groceries from Woolies before returning home for lunch with dearest dad.
• Bettina had already arrived for her once-weekly clean when we got home; lunch may have been more leftover yummy turnip cake and one huge mug of green tea?
• After finishing lunch, I happily play Royal Match for thirty minutes since I've suddenly been given thirty minutes' free lives! XD
• After using the loo for one tinkle (thanks to Bettina who gave me a hand there to and back since she'd just mopped the floor and 'twas slippery) I plopped online. Aww, Bettina's really sweet: she's said QLD can win the Origin decider this Wednesday coz poor Cameron Munster (our captain)'s dad just passed away~ XD
• When Angelica announced her arrival precisely @ 3:45pm, both PIG mum and I went and answered the door.
• S
