Sunday Post 615

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2655 steps (ha, I'm over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'How Can I Be Filled With The Spirit?'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'When Your Mate Struggles With Insincerity' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional   topic's "God's Loving Deeds". Anyways, events for today?

• Nature called once last night around 12:45am; after another pot :P trip around 6:15am I immediately tried falling back asleep since I knew PIG mum would come disturb me less than one hour later!
• Cool, I managed to fall back asleep so deeply with Mini Pearl that I slept through PIG mum's noisy daily a-THUMPING around and didn't wake until she let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap! You'd think she'd help with the tee too now that Autumn's arrived and it's only gonna  get colder but no, she only spreads the tee open for me then leaves me to struggle into it. *sigh*
• After giving myself fifteen more minutes and using the pot :P once more first, I get myself mostly independently kitted. 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*
• PIG mum returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both shoelaces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth but thanks to her who brought my electric toothbrush back for me; I'd totally forgotten to last night! XD
• Teeth brushed, 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 dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully very lightly sprinkled with some 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 toilet, 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 climb into the backseat of Cherry and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles us off to church and parks outside the service hall. I hike up the ramp, use the disabled loo once myself, wash and dry Era then grab my usual spot @ ESS.   PIG mum bolts back upstairs for the Canto service @ 8:50am.
• Service starts one minute late today, Bernard's chairing and score I get to stay seated for worship! I sing everything, plus the harmony for all four songs but like every other week, meant   absolutely NOTHING. ><  *sigh*
• Speaker today was Pastor Peter Pie with another sermon from his Joshua series and service   ended twenty-four minutes early today.
• After PIG mum came for me, I used the loo for another tinkle then headed around the back for arvo tea (one packet of Arnott's bikkies and one milky but sugarless tea). Uncle Stephen wandered over saying we'd not see him for lunch @ Hungry Jack's today, since he's got leftovers @ home waiting for him.
• Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Everyone else had Malaysian food today but I was stuck with Hungry Jack's with   dad again and only had nine chips, not even   ten! Had a Whopper Junior, a small orange juice and some disgusting free coffee.
• Got home, used loo for one tinkle and plopped online.
• Toms:  presuming I'm seeing Ray for some massage and acupuncture then going grocery shopping with PIG mum before returning home for lunch with dearest dad. If not, expect a super-pissy  plodding total from me.
• Hopefully Michelle emails through this week's TBAs for me, else I'll haveta ring and ask after getting home and find out who's minding me from 4-6pm.
• Hoping to watch the 6pm news for   the 46TH time, provided I can watch it for the 45TH time tonight!'
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 613c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for Saturday! Em's final, final plodding total for tonight now stands @ 3925. Sorry, not quite four grand; maybe toms! XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• Back home, I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Sharon who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold   my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Had lunch, drank two more cups of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey then went and played table tennis with dad @ church!
• Came home and read all afternoon; it's only Saturdays that I can spend a blessed three hours with my nose buried in a book~
• Plopped online and did my daily Bible reading so missed out on the chance to watch the 6pm news - not that I wanted to; the Broncos lost SO badly last night!! *cringe* >< XD
• Used loo for one tinkle, had the usual dinner, drank soup, took bowl to sink, returned online and used loo once more @ 9pm.
• Toms:  just church, nothing special. Looking forward to   our once-weekly family dinner out; I've not enjoyed a proper meal out yet this month yet though. *sigh*
• Anyways, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 613b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total   for tonight now stands @ 3847 (so  prolly won't quite reach four grand before the night's out, sorry XD and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'To Whom God Entrusts Hardships' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE MINUTE online after I visit the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, continuing Saturday's events?

• Once PIG mum lets Sharon inside @ 9:45am and she knocks, opens the door and bids me good morning, I   get up immediately. After using the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That down, I drink one full cup of water before sitting 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 head out to the gobbling :P table with Sharon.  Breakfast is my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with some avocado, another full cup of water, all my usual drugs :P and my first mug of white tea sweetened with two   sugars.  Over and after breakfast I happily read Wallaby Stew for thirty minutes, reaching page 100    @ exactly 10:40am!
• After Sharon slathered sunscreen over my face and both arms, she washed up the breakfast stuff and closed and locked windows while I used the loo for one more tinkle and washed and dried Era.
• Thanks to Sharon who kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt all day. She tootled us off to Underwood MarketPlace,   parked underground and grabbed a trolley for us.
• First, we bought a jug of milk from   Woolies (greeted Hambo with my Swahili - thanks, lion and Sharon taught me how to say I'm hungry but I've already forgotten it XD Hambo also slipped me a free   LEGO pack) then bought my honey chicken sushi   from The Sushi Creators (the Chinese worker from last week remembered me!  She gabbed this long stream of Chinese @ me; I apologised and replied (in Chinese) I'm sorry I don't know what you're saying, you're speaking too fast!" She roared with laughter then repeated slowly:  what are you doing today? XD
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Saturday Post 613

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3638 steps (ha, over 3.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'God Regards The Lowly'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Living In The Promised Land' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'One In Christ" but  fifthly  and way most importantly, I'm really still  owed ONE HOUR and NINE MINUTES online after dinner!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! I thought I'd feel too depressed about the poor Broncos' opening round loss to score an awesome night's sleep, but nature didn't call until 6:20am!
• 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 cuddled and snored; following another pot :P trip   around 7:45am, 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*
• PIG mum's daily a-THUMPING around upstairs around 9am wakes me for one more pot :P trip; soon, she's let herself into my room   to hit me with the eye goo and gimme fifteen more minutes since Sharon's not arriving until 9:45am.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 613b

 Heylo again, good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 4016 (ha, I'm just over four grand; that doesn't happen very often!) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Spur On Your Friends'. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• Once the 6pm news ended @ 6:30pm I used the loo for one tinkle then sat down to wolf dinner before the Broncos' round one match started @ 7pm!
• Hey, how come dad ate out today? Lunch was his yummy leftovers from lunch! Add to that lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup carrot and  lotsa some other soup vegetable.
• Skipped soup then flopped on the couch to watch the Broncos play the Panthers!
• Eep, come first half we're down 18-0. ><
• Then we conceded further in the second half! Full time score like, 24-0! *cringe* I told you Hunt and Reynolds should've retired last year after winning the grand final!! ><
• One more tinkle for me before returning online.
• Toms: Sharon's minding me from   9:30pm till 1pm; presume we're buying my arvo tea sushi from Underwood MarketPlace plus whichever groceries PIG mum wants. Fingers crossed she'll really shout me a birthday bubble tea and will remember to drink two big mugs of white tea with   sweetener after coming home for a shower.
• Presuming   dad and I will play table tennis @ church before he heads out to Saturday church service while I   spend three hours reading Wallaby Stew? Willing to give up watching the 6pm news bulletin for that; the Broncos 2026 campaign's off to a terrible start. >< XD
• Righteo,  hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em.    ^^

Friday Post 613

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3190 steps (ha, I'm over three grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Look To Jesus For Your Joy'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Trust In Christ Alone!'  and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's " God's Goodness. Anyways, events for today?

• GRR; for the 2nd time this year, nature denied me achieving one straight week of awesome sleeps (my 5th) by one day! >< Never mind, 'twas still a sound sleep regardless. *sigh*
• Following another pot :P  trip  after the Sun's rising, 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 (he happily swatted Mini Pearl onto the floor last night XD) and I happily cuddled and snored, me waking once more for the pot :P   shortly around 9am just before PIG mum began her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor Elf a very brief rub, since she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night. That's alright, Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes last night and let her wear her sock to sleep although obviously peeled the sock off first thing this morning! XD
• After PIG mum let Jane inside @ 9:30am, Jane knocked, pushed open the door and said, "Good morning, Em; fifteen minutes."  Mini Pearl had only nodded good morning back and hadn't even time to flick his body 'shoo' @ her before she'd already closed the door and left! XD
• When Jane comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Jane, who tells me that she had her breakfast smoothie for her morning meal today.
• For me, breakfast was two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P, 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 ask Jane to please gimme some sunscreen then she walks behind me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast dishes up. Over the loo, 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 Sarah (SAZ is Jane's car's numberplate XD) and Jane tootles me off to the NAB. Thanks to her who kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt both ways. Lol we arrived TWENTY MINUTES early, meaning I had ten minutes to play the Puppy version of Bejeweled before heading up! XD
• My new student's Hongkie like me! Nathan's twenty-one and didn't come to Brisbane until uni.
• Physio today:  Lotsa stepping for Erf with left weight shift, four laps long hallway walking and standing boxing! I've already informed the CEs (Jem and Elaine) that   they've gotta pass Nathan since he's already saved me from faceplanting twice/thrice! >< I really don't feel safe weightshifting over to the left and stepping with Erf since often Elf can't wear all my weight and I start falling! >< 
• After sitting over the loo for two more tinkles Jane tootled me home but perhaps everyone's already leaving for the weekend since we were held up not once (at Coronation drive), not twice (along the highway) but THREE TIMES (along the highway again) coming home!
• Hence why I showered half   fast today - 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, Jane made me a  tuna toastie  with  TWO cheese for lunch and the inside buttered plus one mug of unsweetened earl grey tea with milk since she couldn't find the powdered HK-style milk tea/coffee powdered stuff nor any sweetener.
• Used the loo for   two more tinkles @ 1:55pm then signed Jane off with my thanks and byes @ 2pm.  She's back next Wednesday and taking me to table tennis!
• Ari and some new graduate (Christina?) came and gave Ela one hour of unfunctional exercises.
• When they left, I   read Wallaby Stew until PIG mum gave me some delicious mango (presumably the last of the season?) from Aunty Emily and a packet of instant powdered HK-style milk tea coffee; phew I've had my fix this week. XD
• Used the loo for one tinkle, finished my daily Bible readings then plopped online for myself with two minutes to spare, phew.
• Watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 44TH time but apparently, it's only going for thirty minutes before switching to Friday night football coverage @ 6:30pm although the TV guide doesn't say so?
• Toms: Sharon's minding me from 9:45pm till 1pm; fingers crossed she'll really shout a birthday bubble tea!!  :D
• Presume dad and I are playing table   tennis @ church before he drops me home and attends Saturday church service; unsure will I read Wallaby Stew for three hours?
• But   definitely plan to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 45TH time!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S.  All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's, read by Melissa Fownes and Joel Dry) for the 44TH time: Mimi (first name), Becker, Trump, Peled, Hannay, Lockyer, Cannon,  Totai  (first   name), Kefu (heard), Bavas, Butler, Cooper, Greer, Raso (heard), Piastri, Fagan, Scomazzon, White and Cavallaro.Adam  Jackson  read the sports report and Ebony Cavallaro read the weather report from New Farm. Brisbane was 23-31 today. Brisbane toms: 23-29.

Thursday Post 613d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 5193. Hopefully that's a good omen that I'll score one more awesome sleep tonight and achieve the 5th time this year I've scored one straight week of consecutive awesome sleeps!  Righteo,  final, final events for tonight?

• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• Toms: Jane's minding me from 8-1 and taking me to the NAB for a two-hour session from 10am till midday! Have already asked Kat will she bring more chocolate for me.  XD
• Ari's giving Ela one hour of   unfunctional exercises around 2pm.
• Will munch arvo  tea after Ari leaves but won't have time to read for one hour since the 6pm news toms will only go for thirty minutes before switching to the Broncos season opener match preview against the Panthers! Have already reminded PIG mum please to gimme dinner @ 6:30pm, since coverage/the match itself starts @ 7pm!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing end to the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
