Saturday Post 565

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3437 steps (so will definitely have cracked 3.5 grand before the day's out XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'No Detour From Calvary'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Be Careful What You Watch' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'God Sees Me' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm  really  still owed FIFTY-SEVEN MINUTES  online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin  (Nine's) for the 229TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like the past three days, nature didn't call until 6:10am 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*
  • Not only that, I woke with a remembered dream! For 15th remembered dream this year, I'm taking some bus ride, only there's some power outage and every where's blacked out! Luckily, the bus's own lights still work; everyone breaks into a round of applause for the driver once he safely steers us to our destination in the dark. XD
  • Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore; when nature calls again after another pot :P trip 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*

  •  Shortly before Jane arrives @ 9:30am, PIG mum lets her into my room to hit me with the eye goo, and I immediately tell her my dream and ask her to please help me remember it!

  • Once Jane arrives, she knocks, opens the door and bids me good morning. When I wave Mini Pearl, she says fifteen more minutes okay? After another nod from Mini Pearl, she wisely removes herself; phew, since Mini Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
    P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm   news bulletin (Nine's, read by Alison Ariotti) for the 229TH time: Massilia (first name), Aili, Pilkington, Ha-teya (first name), Sailor, Gripske, Todhunter, Crisafulli (heard), Mander, Miles, Howard (heard), Shannon

 Heylo again, good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 5337 (ha, I'm more than half a normal person today; that's rare! XD Actually I'm suspicious does this Wally have ADHD ...) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Rejoice!' but thirdly  and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY MINUTES online after I hit the sack tonight @ 9:45pm; argh, what a crummy way to   end a MARVELLOUS night!! ><  But  just noting down that I had  SO MUCH FUN with Lorraine enjoyingf my once-yearly trip to Queen Street Mall tonight!! :D Bought a Pikachu  tee from Uniqlo,  WINDOWSHOPPED, ate a fried chicken rice bowl  for dinner from  Queensplaza, finished the night with a LARGE cookie dough gelato cone and watched the lights show!  Toms Jane's back minding me 9:30am till 1:30pm; hopefully dad and I'll play table tennis together but mostly I'm just  hoping I can read the  vampire book for THREE HOURS! Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!

Friday Post 565

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4730 steps (sweet I'm already even over 4.5 grand; that's even less common than   four grand!); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's "For God's Little People"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Traveling Light' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Walking With God' but fifthly and way most importantly I'm really still  owed ONE HOUR and TEN MINUTES online after I  get back from my once-YEARLY trip to Queen Street  Mall with  Lorraine!! Ugh, what a crummy way to end the week. >< *sigh* Anyways, just very briefly, events for today?

  • Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like the past two days, nature didn't call until 6:10am~
  • Jane helped me up and took me to Breathe for physio: 2.645km bike ride, 40 bar-assisted push-ups, 40 step up for Erf, 40 v-bar cable rows for both hands, 40 leg curls for Elf, 40 leg extensions for Elf, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing!
  • Used the loo for one tinkle then bought groceries with Jane @ the Rochedale Coles.
  • Got home and took a nice warm 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.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted lunch was a plain tuna toastie with one slice of cheese and one big mug of herbal tea.
  • Signed Jane off with my thanks and byes @ 2pm. She's back toms 9:30am till 1pm and will watch some cartoon movie with her boyfriend tonight (a tradie)  about some cat becoming a police officer!
  • Cooked a fried rice with Dorrie! Photos are on Facebook~ Had some for arvo tea.
  • Lorraine's taking me to Queen Street Mall for my once yearly shopping trip tonight! :D WINDOWSHOPPING, here I come!! 
  • Toms: Jane's minding me 9:30am till 2pm. She'll help me up; presuming we'll buy groceries from Woolies Underwood MarketPlace plus my arvo tea honey chicken sushi roll before coming home for a shower and lunch.
  • Unsure will table tennis happen @ church toms but planning to spend three hours reading toms; Saturday's the only day I can spend a blessed three hours with my nose buried in a book!
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em.   ^^

Thursday Post 565f

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3622. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post, I had fifteen minutes to play Bejeweled-type games. Not that I passed anymore levels! XD
  • 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.
  • Tonight's ice cream night, yay; like I say every week, a very little's better than none @ all!
  • Toms: Jane's minding me from 9:30 till 1:30pm. Unsure why I've not received the reminder text from Breathe to come for physio but mother and I've both left messages explaining I can't walk much.
  • EXCITEMENT: toms I'm taking my once-yearly Queen Street Mall trip with Sparkless3, and I'll get to WINDOWSHOP!!! :D
  • Will haveta check with PIG mum tonight but I'm hoping to start with a bubble tea on arrival, go shopping along Queen Street Mall and buy one thing, have fried chicken for dinner, see the massive Christmas tree and watch the show then end the night with an ice cream!
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing end to the week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

Thursday Post 565e

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3541 (ha, I'm just over 3.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The World, The Flesh And The Devil'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

  • When dad summoned me over for dinner @ 7:40pm I used the loo for one tinkle 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 boiled lettuce, lotsa soup tomato, lotsa soup onion, two little pieces of halibut and three surprisingly tasty chunks of pork.
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself once more slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Anyways, 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!
    Cheers,

Thursday Post 565d

 Good afternoon again! Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3285. Righteo, continuing today's events?

  • Yay, when Sharon arrived dad was inside the garage, and they just came inside together~
  • So a nice warm shower for me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Sharon 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 my first yummy juicy mango cheek for the year, two plain rice crackers and one massive mug of white tea! Just pity there wasn't any sweetener... *sigh*
  • Over and after arvo tea, I happily read the werewolf book for one hour; today I reached page 100 @ 4:07pm.
  • After reading for one hour, I returned online and asked Sharon to please keep massaging Ela but instead she asked could she head home? The shift doesn't end till 6pm but since she'd already supervised my shower, I was cool with that, just telling her to   check with CODA first.
  • Meaning I signed her off one hour early; she's back not this Saturday but next Saturday.
  • Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 228TH time!
  •  At 5:40pm, I walked myself once slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Jane's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm. Unsure have I got physio since I've not received the reminder text from Breathe? Nah, they've prolly sent the reminder text to PIG mum's mobile.
  • Surely tomorrow's cooking and not exercises for Ela? Although fair enough ... wasn't Dorrie ill last week  and didn't come?
  • But hopefully I'm taking my once-YEARLY trip to Queen Street Mall and looking @ the massive Christmas tree toms night!!
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner, else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Thursday Post 565c

 Good afternoon and potentially one final greeting for today! Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2775. Anyways, potential final, final events for today?

  • Immediately, I ring CODA and ask who's coming to look after me today?? Trish says that she'll call back.
  • Breakfast is one bowl of the less-yummy (so sticky) bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) with all my usual drugs :P and one full cup 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*
