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. ^^

Thursday Post 613c

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 5090 (ha, apparently, I'm just over half a normal person today! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Man Of Sorrows'. Anyways, continuing today's events?

  • While enjoying one soft, juicy pear, munching one plain cracker and drinking one huge mug of    green tea, I happily read Perky's Wallaby Stew for one hour.
  • After using the loo for one more tinkle, I returned online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 43RD time. All the things I like recording are in today's previous post.
  • When nature randomly   called @ 7:10pm, I walked myself slowly and safely once 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.
  • When PIG mum summons me for dinner @ 7:21pm I use the loo for one tinkle then walk myself slowly and safely over to the gobbling :P table, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa dearest dad's home-grown choko, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup tomato, lotsa  soup  carrot, two/three little slices of pork and one small chunk of crumbed sauce dabbed with a little mayo, which I obviously   saved for last.
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl back to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Anyways, hopefully brb 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,
    Em. ^^

Thursday Post 613

 Good afternoon!  Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4936 steps (sweet I'm gonna pass half a normal person today! XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'God Rejoices to You Good; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Sacred Reminders' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Strength From Struggle'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't    call until  7:20am  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*
  • Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P around 9am, just before noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before returning back outside and awaiting Louiza's arrival @ 9:45am.
  • But she soon   comes back saying fifteen more minutes; Louiza's late! o_O I immediately start counting down from 900, reminding PIG mum please to ring CODA should Louiza have not arrived by 9:45am.
  •  But phew, she arrives shortly afterwards.  PIG mum lets her in and just tells her to help me up @ 9:45am.
  • When Louiza comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted then I head over and brush teeth before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Louiza, who tells me that she had oats and coffee for breakfast this morning.
  • For me, breakfast is two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with avocado and 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*

  • Breakfast finished, I ask Louiza to please gimme some sunscreen   before she walks behind me back   to the loo. While she goes back to the kitchen and washes the breakfast dishes up, I sit over the loo proper and 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 passenger seat of Louiza's car and she tootles me off to Breathe for physio.  Thanks to   her who helps me buckle my seatbelt all day.
  • Only thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
  • Physio today with Winnie: 1.878km bike, forty bar-assisted push-ups, forty steps for Erf with left weight shift, forty v-bar cable rows for both hands, forty leg extensions for Elf s, forty leg curls for Elf, forty steps for Elf, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing!
  • After one loo trip (CZ258 unlocks the female toilets and the second cubicle's an ambulant one), Louiza tootled me off to  Rochedale Coles before coming home for a nice warm shower - hairwash   today. Also thanks to Louiza who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was one bowl of rice leftovers with one yummy huge mug of earl grey tea.
  • At 1:55pm I sat over the loo for two tinkles then signed Louiza off with my thanks and byes @ 2pm. She's back same time next week.
  • Toms: Jane's minding me from 8am till 1pm. She'll help me up, take me to   the NAB for a two-hour session before seeing me home and showered.
  • After she's gone, Ari's coming and giving Ela one hour of unfunctional exercises.
  • Unsure have I time to read Wallaby Stew for one hour since I'm gonna watch the 6pm news for the 44TH time, wolf down dinner @ 7pm and be seated on the couch ready to watch the Broncos season opener against the Broncos @ 7:30pm!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^



Wednesday Post 613c

 Good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 3456 (aww, sorry, not quite 3.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Remind Me Of Your Gifts'. Anyways, just briefly,  final,  final  events for tonight?

  • Jane took me to play table tennis but there wasn't any    cake today.  Actually, I missed the warm-up since we went to Gloria Jens @ Moorooka (there's drivehru!) and I got my free iced dirty  chai! :D
  • Watched the  6pm  news bulletin (Nine's)   for  the 42ND time. All the things I  like recording are in  the previous post.
  • Jane left @ 6:30pm and I  thought dad would gimm,e dinner but he'd not lemme eat till 6:45pm! ><
  • Angie gave me a lift to GG;  she's only twenty-two and has an  archaeology degree!  Actually, graphics; whatever that's called
  • Did  a study  on marriage and relationships; enjoyed a big  round MSG cracker! Yanni's so  polite: she broke hers into  tiny pieces before  opening the packet and taking  each  little chunk!
  • Unfortunately I'll  not   get    to   attend GG for the next   two  weeks; can't  source  a ride~ *sigh*
  • Toms: Louiza's coming @ 9:30am and taking me to  Breathe for physio @ 11am. Perhaps expect   a super-pissy   plodding total   from  me? Unsure if there's time  afterwards to buy  groceries since I  need a shower befoore she leaves.
  • Looking  forward to    reading Wallaby Stew for  one hour then watching the  6pm  news bulletin for  the 43RD  time!
  • Wonder will dad take us  out for   dinner toms night?
  • Anyways, hope everyone's having  a smashing  week!
    Cheers,
    Em.   ^^
