Sunday Post 330c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2365. anyways, final, final events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post, I spent about  seven minutes Facebooking.  XD
  • At 9pm, I walked myself slowly  and safely once more to the loo for  one tinkle and back, always above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Toms: PIG mum'll help  me up since I've got a late morning appointment to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Will haveta ring CODA toms during breakfast if they've still  not   said who's minding me from 2-6pm.
  • Guessing we'll leave the grocery shopping till toms arvo after I've had physio with  Winnie?
  • Fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm  news for the 170TH time!
  • Anyways, hope  everyone has a smashing  week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2295 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Servant Of Abraham'. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

  • Once I'd used up the most important   two hours of my day, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat to read the Matthew Reilly novel for one hour and munch the arvo  tea had left me before hitting pigland upstairs: one banana (to peel  myself), one plain cracker and one huge mug of green/herbal/fruit tea. Today  I  finished arvo  tea @ 4:32pm, reached page fifty  @ 4:36pm and page seventy-five @  exactly 5:05pm.
  • After  reading for precisely one hour,  I  went and took a nice hot shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair  today. I also  softly, slowly but most  hatefully sang  20% my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was all done after only 10% but happily leaned fully against  the right side rail  before calling PIG mum back.
  • Since she'll not even dry my  back for me anymore, once she dried the back of the chair I did  everything else and she didn't feature again until  my  bra strap needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and  both laces needed tying.
  • After I dried the loo seat I sat  for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped both  feet   dry, washed and dried  Era then walked myself slowly  and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Did my weekly file backup  then 'twas time to  use the  loo for one more tinkle and climb back into  the Chery,  since tonight we were meeting  Aunty A for dinner @ Ru Yi!
  • The food was great but the portion minute. *sigh* Turns out  the Slams were originally coming over for dad's duck but  they suddenly pulled out!
  • Oh, thanks to   PIG mum who kindly  helped me with my seatbelt tonight; you know I've got sh*tty night vision post brain injury. >< *sigh*
  • Back home 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 toms, else wishing  everyone a smashing Monday   and week  ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Sunday Post 330

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1522 steps (ha, I'm just over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional  topic from last night's "Satan's Strategy And Your Defense"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'God Has Different Ways To Get You There'  and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Living Water Of Christ'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep  last night! Nature had already called  once minutes before midnight but after one pot :P trip Daddy Bear and I happily  snored until either parent (probably dad; PIG mum does multiple THUMPS) went THUMP once and woke me again for the pot  :P after which I immediately tried falling back asleep  since I remembered PIG mum would come downstairs around this time!
  • Like 114 breaths into falling  back asleep another THUMP's heard and I give up  the plan of  falling back asleep. Instead, 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*
  • Soon, PIG mum lets herself into my  room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly   slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap plus laying out the tops before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into the tops first before giving myself fifteen more minutes.
  • PIG mum returns and finishes 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. Oh, and I started a new Colgate toothpaste last night, having finished the Harry Potter one. Don't get  to  brush my teeth with magic anymore. >< 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 is one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully very  thinly sprinkled with some salt (guess it's my inferior tastebuds that never taste any? XD), one full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and another mug of Milo. 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 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! 
  • After  washing and drying  Era I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car  and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles us  off to   church and parks outside out  service hall. I hike up the ramp, use the third cubicle of  the normal female toilets (the disabled plus the first two cubicles of  the normal female toilets had  closed lids but horrid PIG mum wouldn't lift them  for me), washed and dried both hands then grabbed my usual spot @ the most left inside the service hall. Thanks to Bernard who's installed a heater inside there!
  • Yay I get to stay seated for  service. I sing everything plus the harmony for all four songs but like every other week, meant absolutely  NOTHING. ><  *sigh*
  • Today Peter (not our Pastor  Peter) spoke about the aroma of Christ and  there was communion afterwards but service still finished three minutes early!
  • When PIG mum came for me, I got to ask after Mel Mel who's thankfully getting better  after not  attending GG four days ago  since she was unwell.
  • I used the disabled loo once myself, hiked around to the back and sat  for morning tea, munching a pack of Arnott's bikkies (apparently  it's like  a SIN to put an  entire biscuit into your mouth??) and drinking one cup of  milky tea that certainly tasted like it didn't contain  any sugar, even though dad insisted he'd added some. Sure, prolly one grain. >< *sigh*
  • While PIG mum enjoyed her once weekly coffee and gossip session   with her aunty   friends and everyone else enjoyed lunch together @ My Pho in  Runcorn, dad made me  eat with him @ Hungry Jack's again.  Thursday just past already marks  one whole WEEK since I last enjoyed a proper meal out so yay that apart from getting a Whopper Junior  and exactly ten chips, I  shook a cheap  medium  shake and dad lemme drink most of it! Best  of  all, dad lemme open the sunroof both ways, meaning I spent the drives looking up  out into the blue sky rather than the traffic ahead.
  • Back home I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself  slowly  and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Once I've used up the most important two hours of  the day online I'll use the loo for one tinkle then sit   @ the gobbling :P table and hopefully read the Matthew Reilly novel for one hour and wait  for  PIG mum to  come downstairs and gimme some arvo tea.
  • Apparently tonight we're meeting Aunty A for dinner tonight @ Ru Yi?
  • Toms: seeing Ray  for some massage and acupuncture before coming home for lunch with  dearest dad but unsure who's taking me to Breathe for physio yet.
  • Presume we're buying groceries before coming home for personal care; fingers crossed I can read the Matthew Reilly book for one hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 171ST time, provided that I can watch it for the 70TH time tonight!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week  ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 330c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2606. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

  • Back home I used the loo for one tinkle then sat   to  munch arvo  tea (my honey chicken  sushi roll plus one huge mug of fruit tea) and read for two more hours, since it's only  Thursday that I can  spend a   blessed three hours reading~  This arvo I reached pg. 444 @ 4:26pm, finished arvo   tea @ exactly  4:30pm, reached pg.  459  @ 4:38pm and FINISHED THE BOOK @ 3:52pm! EVERYTHING was finished @ 3:54pm and after one tinkle I immediately continued with the Matthew Reilly book Georgia had kindly got for me! I reached page  twenty-five @  exactly 4:30pm!
  • Reading finished, I used the loo for  one  tinkle then plopped online and read today's Bible  verses. After one more tinkle I plopped online for myself.
  • Happily   watched the 6pm   news bulletin (Nine's)  for the 169TH time). All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of today's first post.
  • Only  twenty minutes left,  so just  super-briefly:
  • used loo, had dinner, drank   tea, took cup  to sink, returned online, rang Aunty Lai then  used the loo for one more tinkle afterwards.
  • Toms: just church, definitely nothing  special. Would love lunch out with other ESS peers afterwards but expecting just   a cheeseburger with dad @ Hungry Jack's then a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum. *sigh*
  • Anyways,  looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 330b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2545 (See? Told you I'd crack  2.5 grand! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Walk Through It'. Righteo, continuing today's events?

  • After counting  down from 900, I announce to  Georgia that I'm hungry and swing myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle. We  get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom  and brush teeth (my last time using my Harry Potter toothpaste; can't  brush my teeth with magic anymore XD), drink one tall cup of water then sit  over the loo proper. 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 Georgia. Breakfast is my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry  (unbuttered)  toast very lightly spread with  avocado, all  my usual drugs :P  and my first big mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful  of honey. Over and after breakfast I happily read for thirty minutes.
  • While  Georgia closed and locked windows, I used the loo  for one more tinkle, washed and dried Era then climbed into the passenger seat of  Georgia's Echo.
  • Georgina tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace, parks out the front  and grabs a trolley for us.
  • PIG mum only wants a jug of milk today and afterwards I head over to Sushi Creators and grab my honey chicken  sushi  roll before Georgia tootles me home and I  take a nice hot  shower -  hairwash today. Also thanks to Georgia who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing  Era to hold my stupid  right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed  and rekitted, lunch is  one bowl  of rice leftovers (thanks to Georgie who added some  soya sauce for me) and two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful  of  honey. I happily read for another thirty-five minutes, finishing pg. 425 @ 12:44pm.
  • PIG mum gets home just when I'm about to  sit over the loo for two  more tinkles. Georgia tootles me off to  church  to play table tennis with dearest  there; after arrival I  sign  her  off  with my  thanks and byes. She's back next Friday and probably   taking me to  the NAB foor two hours' physio, provided they don't cancel again!
  • Had  great fun playing with  dad  who lemme win again~ Only he SMASHED a ball into my lower lip! ><" XD I told  PIG mum she'd better bok him for  me. XD
    Cheers,
    Em. ^

Saturday Post 330

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2422 steps (so trust I'll have reached 2.5 grand before the day's  out  XD); secondly, John  Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Jesus Keeps His Sheep'; thirdly,  TWFT topic's 'You Need More Of The Holy Spirit (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Serving God, Not Self'  but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 169TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like the  previous two nigh today. Brisbane toms: ts, nature didn't call until  6:30am and after one pot :P trip I  did the two   bed  exercises Winnie taught me to prevent further back  pain and then 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*
  • The next  time nature called (around one hour later), 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*
  • PIG mum beginning her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs wakes me for one more pot :P trip. Soon, she's  let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going  back outside and awaiting Georgia's arrival. 
  • After PIG mum lets Georgia inside, she instructs her to gimme fifteen more minutes.  Daddy  Bear acknowledges with a paw nod before imperiously waving her away. XD
  • Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Friday Post 330c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 4570. Ha,  I'm just over 4.5  grand; that's even less common than four grand! XD Anyways, final, final  events for  tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post, I started reading  and sharing my Facebook memories.
  • At 9pm, I  walked  myself  once more slowly and safely 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.
  • Toms:  Georgia's back minding me from 9:30am till  1pm, if  I've not scared her away.   XD Presuming  we'll buy my honey  chicken  sushi    roll from  Underwood MarketPlace plus any groceries PIG mum  wants from  Woolies before  coming home for  a shower and lunch. Fingers crossed Georgia will gimme three big mugs of white tea with  sweetener!
  • She'll drop me off @ church to play table tennis with dearest dad before leaving  @ 1pm;  after getting home I'm planning  to read all arvo since it's only Saturdays that I  can spend a blessed three hours reading. Oh, will ask Georgia to please find me a new  book  to read for toms arvo; surely I'll finish the Carmody one toms??
  • Maybe I'll watch  the  6pm  news bulletin  for the 169TH time but only if  dad waits for me  to eat  dinner! Otherwise I'll skip the  news to have dinner with him~
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing  week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
