Friday Post 325b

 Heylo and good evening again! Take two: firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2454 steps (so will have cracked 2.5 grand before the night's out, hoorah! XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Mercy For Today'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Be Confident Of God's Love For You'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Strength To Endure' and fifthly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Recall Your Focus' but sixthly and way most importantly,  I'm really  still owed ONE HOUR and ELEVEN MINUTES online after I  use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, just briefly, events for today?

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Despite my earnest prayer to God last night asking Him please don't send the noisy garbage truck THUNDERING down the road and tipping bins until after the Sun has risen sufficiently for me   to see the time on the clock attached to the wall, he went screw you   and sent it down while 'twas still semi-dark. >< That's alright; I went screw You back and successfully fell back asleep without incident. *sigh*
• Jane minded me from 9-2pm today.
• NAB physio: Lotsa left weight shift and stepping for Erf, several steps for Elf without right weight shift, eighteen laps long hallway walking, two double leg pushups on the Tower Of Power for both legs and eighteen single leg push-ups for Elf. Travis is from HK like me and did an engineering degree first, so he is 27 and lives in St Lucia!
• Got  home and took   a nice hot  shower - hairwash  today. Also  thanks to Jane who helped me rinse out my  hair, thus freeing   Era to  hold my stupid right eye tightly  shut.
• 
  
• Christina came for OT and cooked chicken dish with me!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 325d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3656. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I continued reading and sharing my Facebook memories.
• At 9pm I walked myself 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. Just ugh that Elf's around the heel side's going ow again.  >< *sigh*
• Yay that tonight's ice cream night; like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Toms:  Jane's minding me from 9-2pm and taking me for a two hour NAB physio; doubt I'm lucky enough for another cancellation toms? XD 
• Jane's seeing me home and showered before leaving @ 2pm and then some new OT assistant called Christina's coming and cooking with me; hope PIG mum's chosen sth tasty!
• F9ngers crossed dad'll take us out for dinner toms night since biu jie's leaving afterwards ... but I   vaguely recall dad saying we'll have arvo tea out then return home for dinner? Well, fingers crossed we'll have arvo tea @ Ho Lin Wah and I'll finally MEET my current food goal of drinking a hot HK-style milk tea to myself; a goal I've held for MORE THAN ONE YEAR!! If that happens, I've already got another food goal ready: I wanna try that new KFC burger that comes with a hash brown!!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  
  

Thursday Post 325c

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2587 (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Arise And Shine'. Anyways, continuing today's events?

• When Pastor Grace decides it's time to leave, Reverend Chris walks behind me outside and I take a seat on some chair with a backrest. Pastor Grace asks are you sure you'll be alright by yourself? Maybe we should wait until she comes for you, but I reassure her Louiza's just across the road - and suddenly she's there! I give Reverend Chris a handshake, hug both Pastor Chris and Naomi then climb back into the passenger seat of Louiza's car.
• One more trip before heading home: Warrigal Woolies to buy a carton of milk. I like shopping with the carers since they lemme sit on the self-serve machine while they check out the groceries~
• Oh, the Japanese restaurant we had lunch together today's called Ippindon!
• Back home I took a nice hot shower -  hairwash today. Also thanks to Louiza who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea's one yummy banana and one huge mug of delicious earl grey tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey. Happiness was reading the book club novel for one hour, reaching pg. 400 @ 2:51pm.
• Used the loo for one more tinkle then plopped online and read today's Bible passages.
• Was hoping to watch the 6pm news for the 67TH time but biu jie and introduced me to her current crave: some HK singer called Keung To; can you believe it: he's only twenty-seven! I'm more than one DECADE older than him! 
• When dad called dinner, 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 yummy wombok, lotsa sweet potato leaves, some bean vermicelli (in Canto:  fun si)  and two thin strips of beef.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl  of soup (thanks also to PIG mum who held out a PJ top for me to put on); after taking the bowl over to  the sink  then sitting to  listen to cousin Teresa regale me  with a story about little Franco 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.
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip 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 weekend toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 325b

 Heylo   again, good afternoon and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I get the chance to post online before midday. XD Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2404 steps (meaning I'm positive I'll have cracked 2.5 grand before the night's out XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "Don't Be Like The Mukle"; thirdly, TWFT topic's  'Click The Save Button' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Hollow Willow'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until  8am  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 for another hour, nature calling once more just before 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 absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and laying out the tee before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into the tee then giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• When I inform PIG mum that I've mostly independently kitted myself, she comes back 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 bathroom to 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.
• Last night I helped PIG mum make green tea cake; my current life motto: CAKE for BREAKFAST CAN'T BE WRONG!!! :D I also pop all my usual drugs :P and drink 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 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. After reading my daily Bible passages I tootle online for myself.
  

• At 11:25am I sit over the loo for two tinkles, coming out after Louiza arrives to take me to meet Reverend Chris and Pastor Grace for our once termly lunch!
• Pastor Grace has chosen some Taiwanese restaurant @ Runcorn Plaza for our catchup! Louiza finds a fairy close park across the road and comes inside with me to sit down, saying she'll just be in her car.
• Obviously I was gonna get fried chicken for lunch! XD I had that with one bowl of white rice, which was three bucks. 
• Over lunch, we just chatted. Turns out Naomi's into Pokemon Go right now!
• After lunch we just headed over to the next-door Gong Cha for bubble tea! I stuck with my current favourite that Angelica taught me: chocolate cookie pearl milk tea normal sugar half ice while the Lungs shared a taro milk tea. More chatting ensued, Grace detailing her future interstate trips for work and Reverend Chris sharing about his parents' trip to China.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
