Friday Post 482c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ exactly 3000. Nice number, eh? Actually, 'twas 2993 but that number pissed me off so much I got up, walked around my chair for seven steps and sat back down again. XD Anyways, just briefly, final, final events for tonight?

• Got home and showered - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who rinsed out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was a tuna in tomato and onion toastie with only one slice of cheese and one delicious mug of vanilla chai.
• Used the loo for two more tinkles when Peggy left @ 2pm.
• Dorrie came to give Ela one hour of unfunctional hand exercises.
• Ate arvo tea and planned to read for one hour; reached pg. 525 @ 3:28pm and FINISHJED THE BOOK @ 404pm! Everything else finished @ 4:12pm.
• Watched the 6pm news (Seven's) for the 11TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• Had dinner, drank soup, returned online and used the loo once more @ 9pm.
• Toms: hope PIG mum helps me up before 9:45am ...
• Looking forward to playing table tennis with dearest dad but unsure will I try to read for three hours unless PIG mum'll grab a new book for me? Happy to keep reading the Matthew Reilly one I've got on the table if she's not.
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Heylo  again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 2891 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "The Enemy's Strategy". Righteo,  continuing tonight's events?

• INCREDIBLE movie; I can't believe all the lions were made with CGI and not real! Will hopefully write a special blog post about it~ Thankfully I'd asked for seats without stairs but while I knew you climbed stairs to reach seats, today was the first time I saw you could also climb DOWN for seats!
• Peggy was a legend who brought popcorn; before leaving I had to apologise to the staff woman waiting for our exit for scattering popcorn kernels EVERYWHERE; seriously, is there any way  to eat popcorn neatly?? XD
• After one more loo trip, Peggy tootled me home for a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to her who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly  shut. Actually, she pulled over on Gaskell Rd. and we both  played phone games for like ten minutes; I passed two  more  levels! XD

Friday Post 482

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2670 steps (ha, I'm over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Words For The Wind'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'We All Need The Same Grace' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Don't Lose Heart" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-FOUR MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 11TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 8th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't  call until the noisy garbage truck woke me THUNDERING down our road @ 5:40am;  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*
• Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again shortly before PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after 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 bathroom and brush teeth. That done, 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 is one bowl of the yummier (so flaky) bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P with one slice of dry (unbuttered) bread very lightly spread with avocado   and very thin sprinkled with salt (no idea why PIG mum sprinkles the plate on which the piece of toast sits and not the toast itself? 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 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!
• Peggy arrives @ 9:30am; once I'm done over the loo I climb into the passenger seat of Auto (pronounced Alto) and she tootles us off to Sunnybank Plaza to watch Mufasa! Grateful to her who parks underground; horrid PIG mum doesn't even TRY. ><
• Peggy's not been to the Garbo cinemas before; I show her where the lift is and then we go buy tickets. I make sure the tickets say Mufasa; last week the silly cinema attendant had sent us to Moans2 again! XD
• We both use the loo once before I hike up the ramp and we're directed to our cinema. I'd picked seats that didn't require any stairs but I was surprised to see that seats not only extended upwards but went downwards too!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's, read by Sarah Greenhalgh and Max Futcher) for the 11TH time: Black, Kemp, Addison (first name), Riley Hammond (heard), Burley, Duffy, Hadley, Bissell, Briese, Netanyahu (heard), Mencer, Blinken, Head (heard), Webster, (heard), Doropolous Hogan, Elon (first name), Musk, Bezos (heard), Loader, Sabalenka, Renshaw, Labuschagne, Khawaja (heard), Toohey, Collins, Lynch, Burns, Waters, Jeffcoat, Watts, Tien, Medvedev, Albanese, Dean, Eccelstone, Gardner, McGrath, Downey (heard), Rivkin (heard), Jaspa (first  name), Fletcher, Kyrgios, Kokkinakos,  Alcaraz, Black, Trump, Gibson (heard), Stallone (heard), Abate, Tomic, Aiava, Collins and Barty.  62.01USc =  1AUD and Telstra shares are steady @ $4.

Sunrise 5:09am Sunset 6:48pm

Thursday Post 482c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3938. Aww, sorry, not quite four grand; another day, perhaps. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I read and shared the She Reads Truth devotional before happily playing the HP version of Bejeweled for almost twenty minutes - and I passed two more levels; I've passed five today!
• At 9pm, I walked myself slowly and safely once more 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.
• Tonight's ice cream night, yay! Like I say every week, a very little's better than none @ all~
• Toms: fingers crossed PIG mum helps me up early and once Peggy arrives, we'll leave immediately to the Garbo cinemas to watch Mufasa; there's one @ 9:45am and another @ 11am!
• Back home I'll shower fastest, wolf down lunch and be ready when Dorrie comes and gives Ela one hour of unfunctional hand exercises.
• Will hopefully read the book club novel for one hour afterwards and watch the 6pm news for the 11TH time!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing end to the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 482b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3770 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'A Kick In The Pants'. Righteo,    continuing events for today?

• When Catherine announced her arrival precisely @ 4pm, thanks to PIG mum who let her in, thus saving me from a potentially dangerous trip to the front door myself.
• So a nice warm 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,  arvo tea was one yummy banana, about half a tasty cracker and one large mug of peppermint tea. Happiness was reading the book club novel for one hour (today I reached pg. 475 @ 5:01pm) before having almost thirty-five minutes to happily play the HP version of Bejeweled - and I passed three more levels!
• At 5:55pm I sat once more over the loo for two tinkles before saying my thanks and byes to Catherine.
• I was about halfway through watching the 6pm news bulletin when Joey Whatsapped  me, asking could she come over!   Thanks to PIG mum who let her inside when she arrived, thus saving me from a potentially dangerous trip to the front door myself.
• Joey's recently returned from HK and she bought me a Minion soucenir - a plastic piggybank with two little packets of banana lollies! We shared one right away but there's still one more. Then we just chatted~
• Obviously, I walked her out and gave her a big hug when she left; since dad said dinner was ready, I used the loo for one tinkle and 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 cauliflower, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup tomato, lotsa soup onion, lotsa soup carrot and like two little chunks of pork.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowlful 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.
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after one final loo  trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for the day, the final, final events  for Friday plus what's happening Friday, else wishing everyone a smashing end to   their week  toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 482

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3113 steps (ha, I'm over three grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Freeness Of Grace'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "God's @ Work" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's  'Easy  And Hard'. Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 7th consecutive awesome sleep  last night! That's the 1st time this year  I've scored one straight WEEK of  consecutive awesome sleeps,   and while PIG mum   says it doesn't matter should nature call during the night since I can  fall  back asleep   easily, it's still good to   achieve one! Sure,  back  in  2019,  2120 and 2021 I somehow managed to score TWENTY-FIVE of those one straight week of awesome sleeps  but since PIG mum says they're not important, it still feels nice to achieve one~
• Like the previous several  days, 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*
• Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore,  me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am shortly before PIG mum begins her daily  noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let  herself into  her room to  hit me  with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with  after 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 bathroom and brush teeth. That done, 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.
• For the second consecutive day, breakfast is one bowl of the less-yummy (so sticky) bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with   avocado and very lightly  sprinkled with salt (although I'm unsure why PIG mum tends to put  salt on the PLATE rather than on the piece of toast itself?), 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.

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*
• Since dearest dad's hard @ work doing his puzzle and PIG mum's upstairs changing/whatever, after breakfast I happily play the HP version of Bejeweled and pass like three levels!
• Before leaving for grocery shopping with  PIG mum, I sit once more over the loo. 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 buckle my own seatbelt.
• Originally, PIG mum was just gonna tootle us down the road for grocery shopping @ Warrigal Square but I voiced for her car and asked could we please shop @ Underwood Marketplace instead? There's underground carparking there and I'll not get burnt! XD
• Unsure why PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to one end of the building before doing a U-turn and coming back to buy groceries plus added aisle walking, but hey. Walking the freezer aisles was awesome but I've already told her that during Winter, she can go herself.   XD
• Back home, I use the loo for another tinkle and then walk myself slowly and safely back to   the gobbling :P table, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. Dearest dad's still hard @ work   doing his puzzle!
• PIG mum cooks us vermicelli for lunch! That's with lotsa corn kernels, lotsa soup    carrot, lotsa soup tomato, lotsa soup potato, a few very thin slices of Chinese mushroom and a few tiny pieces of yummy luncheon ham.
•   Lunch was washed down with one packet of instant HK-style milk tea; after taking the bowl over to the sink I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely online, always overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Catherine's minding me again from 4-6pm; looking forward to reading the book club novel for another hour and can hopefully watch the 6pm   news bulletin (Seven's) for the 12TH time!
• Toms: Peggy's minding me 9:30am till 2pm. Fingers crossed PIG mum'll  help   me up first and when Peggy arrives, we'll leave immediately to watch Mufasa @ the Garbo cinemas @ 9:45am! Else the next one's @ 11am; unsure will there be enough time for me to get home and shower before Peggy leaves @ 2pm?
• Since Dorrie's coming and giving Ela one hour of unfunctional hand exercises @ 2/2:30pm.
• Hoping to read the book club novel for one hour after she leaves and fingers crossed, I can   watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 12TH time!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl,  else wishing everyone a smashing end to   the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^
