Friday Post 327b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 2486 (so trust I'll have cracked 2.5 grand before tonight ends XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "It's All/Nothing." Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

  • When PIG mum summoned me  over for dinner tonight I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely over tto the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • A fancy dinner tonight for mid-Autumn festival! Rice, lotsa yummy broccoli, one piece of yummy roast pork with crackling and one delicious duck drumstick!
  • Dinner  was spooned down with one bowl 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.

  • After returning online I remembered I'd forgotten  to read for five more minutes after dinner (since I like reading for one hour everyday when possible and three on Saturday) so returned and did that before returning online again.
  • Righteo, 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 toms, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Friday Post 327

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2148 steps (ha, I'm over two grand XD);  second, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "Jesus's Pursuit Of Joy';  thirdly, TWFTT topic's 'Get Ready For  Change (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Acts Of Devotion'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Woo hoo, 15TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until the noisy garbage truck THUNDERED down our road tipping bins and woke me; 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 cuddled and had a MASSIVE snore, nature didn't call again until like 9am! Shortly after that, noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs and soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give Elf's ankle a very brief rub, since she totally ignored my  poor ankle last night, as she's done EVERY NIGHT OVER THE LAST MONTH! >< *sigh* That's alright; Era rubbed Elf's ankle for fifteen minutes last night and let her wear her sock to sleep but obviously tugged the sock off first thing this morning. XD
  • After PIG mum lets Jane inside @ 8am, Jane knocks, opens the door, sticks her head inside and calls "Good morning Em; fifteem more minutes." Daddy Bear wagges his paw once in acknowledgement of what she said and just like that, she's gone and he's denied the opportunity  to imperiously flick his paw 'shoo'! @ her. XD
  • Jane actually came back  thirty seconds too early but  since she didn't  try poke me up immediately (think she was opening the windows first XD) I held Daddy Bear back from giving her the Bear Bum. XD
  • After fifteen more minutes, I used the loo for three more tinkles, we get me kitted  and then I  head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. After sitting over the loo for one tinkle I 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 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* Also thanks to Jane who turned Sunrise on for my viewing pleasure~
  • Breakfast finished, I call Jane back please to gimme (front and back of neck, face and both hands) 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 proper, 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 Sally and Jane tootles me off to the NAB for two hours' physio with Chan.
  • Physio today: Thirty sit-to-stands with left weight shift and reduced thigh support, thirty single leg push-ups on the tower of power for Elf, ten single leg push-ups on the tower of power for Erf, twenty double leg push-ups on the tower of power for both feet, Jenga for Era and snakes and ladders (getting up from chair, bending to floor to pickup die, rolling then moving my piece).
  • After sitting over the loo for two more tinkles Jane tootles me home and I  take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Jane for helping me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch is one yummy toasted tuna in tomato and onion toastie with only one  slice of cheese plus one *delicious* mug of Chinese tea.
  • At 1:55pm I sit over the loo for two more tinkles before signing Jane off with my thanks and byes @ 2pm. She's back 9:30am toms; hopefully PIG mum'll lemme buy ten bucks of sushi so I can redeem a free mooncake from Sunnybank Plaza!
  • Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day I'll use the loo for one tinkle then sit  @ the gobbling :P table, wait for PIG mum to please gimme some arvo tea then read for as close to one hour as I can before watching the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 184TH time!
  • Toms: Jane's back minding me from 9:30am till 1pm; fingers crossed PIG mum'll lemme buy ten bucks @ Sunnybank Plaza and redeem a mooncake!
  • Free rest of the day after she sees me showered and leaves; hoping to read for three hours toms!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

  • After publishing  the previous post I continued reading  and sharing 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.
  • Tonight's ice cream night, yay! Like I always say, a very little's better tthan none @ all!
  • Toms: Jane's minding me 8am till 2pm and taking me to  the NAB for two hours then seeing me home, showered and fed with lunch before leaving but I'm free once she leaves since Ari already came and gave Ela OT today.

Thursday Post 327b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2002 (ha, I'm literally a couple of steps over two grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'When Trials Come'. Righteo, continuing today's events?

  • After Ari saw me seated and  left, PIG mum gave me some arvo tea: one piece of fruit, one plain cracker and one huge mug of delicious Chinese tea. I happily read the book club novel for one hour, reaching pg. 400 @ 3:36pm.
  • After using the loo for one more tinkle I read my daily Bible passages (started Galatians today)  then plopped online for myself.
  • Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 183RD time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of the previous post.
  • PIG mum got dearest dad to start dinner with bher but without me again. *sigh* Given permission to join once the news ended, I used the loo for one tinkle 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 broccoli, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup tomato, two slices of some fish and two chunks of chicken.
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl 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.
  • Toms: Jane's minding me from 8-2 and taking me for the final session of this block! 
  • Since I already had OT with Ari this arvo I'm free once Jane leaves; looking forward to my two most important hours of the day, reading the book  club novel for another hour and watching the 6pm news for the 184TH time before watching the first prelim finals: up the Phins!
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl after one last tinkle @ 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 327

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1879 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily  devotional topic from last night's 'Hope For The Worst Of  Sinners'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Live The Crucified Life' and fourthly, Our  Daily Bread's devotional  topic's 'Words From Friends' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 183RD time!! Anyways, events for  today?

  • Woo hoo, 14TH consecutive awesome sleep  lat night! That's the 14TH time this year I've scored one straight week of consecutive awesome sleeps! :D Nature didn't call until 6:30am 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*
  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, nature calling again slightly after one hour later. After another pot :P trip,  it's not long before PIG mum begins her daily  a-TTHUMPING around upstairs; soon,  she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor Elf's a very brief rub, since she 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 last night but obviously peeled the sock off first thing this morning! Just fingers crossed PIG mum will FINALLY give poor Elf's ankle a very brief rub tonight else that will mark one whole MONTH that she has totally ignored my poor foot. >< *sigh* :o(
  • After PIG mum lets Louiza inside @ 8am, Louiza knocks, pushes open the door and calls "Good morning Em; I'll help you up in fifteen more minutes, okay?" Daddy Bear gives one paw nod then imperiously flicks his paw 'shoo' @ her; Louiza smirks but wisely withdraws, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
  • When Louiza returns and taps me up, I use the pot :P  once for three more tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom 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, rousing @ her for not  eating any breakfast this morning and informing  her that she'd buy some breakfast for herself after doing the groceries for PIG mum. XD
  • Breakfast was one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado  and for some reason the PLATE (not the toast) very lightly sprinkled with salt (no problem; I just lick the plate clean afterwards 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* I also happily  watched Sunrise~
  • After breakfast, I summon Louiza back to please gimme (my face and both arms) some sunscreen   and 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 Louiza's housemate's light green car and she tootles me off to the Garbo library for GCCW! Upon arrival, I use the disabled loo for one tinkle and then head into meeting room one.
  • Just a small attendance today: only eight! Tammy kindly went with me to the bathroom during   the morning tea break and she even brought CAKE for morning tea!  :D 
  • Me, I brought and showed off my Bridge To Brisbane medal. XD
  • The meeting ended twelve minutes earlier today, hence why I texted Louiza for pickup.
  • After one more tinkle, Louiza tootled me home and I took a nice hot shower -  hairwash today. Also thanks to Louiza who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to told my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was a yummy tuna in tomato and onion toastie with TWO cheese and one mug of powdered HK-style milk tea. Louiza cleaned the bathroom then asked to be signed off early since she had to drive down to the Gold Coast next, which I did. She's back next Thursday 9:30am.
  • Lunch finished, I took the cup over to the sink, used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Ari came and gave Ela one hour of unfunctional exercises with the FitMi and the thera playdough :P before we found three cooking recipes from Woolies for PIG mum to choose from!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Wednessday Post 327b

 Heylo  again, good evening and please excuse the first post;  you know I sttill get too excited whenever  I  get to post online before midday. XD Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding exactly 2500 steps  (Nice number, eh? Actually 'twas  only 2490  but that number pissed me off enough to get up, taking ten steps around the chair and sit back  down XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Let Goods And Kindred Go'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The God Of Second Chances'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Comfort Amidst Tears' and fifthly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Dress Yourself' but sixthly and way most importantly,  I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-SIX MINUTTES online should PIG  mum gleefully boot me off to  bed @ 9:45pm; argh, that's the SECOND CONSECUTIVE DAY I've been  unable to enjoy the entirety of the MOST IMPORTANTT TWO HOURS OF THE DAY  ONLINE!!! >< *sigh* But just noting down that I enjoyed my 13TH consecutive awesome sleep last night (bid Daddy Bear sweet dreams, fell asleep and didn't wake until 7:L45am); Jane took me to play table tennis this arvo  and dearest dad took me to play table tennis again @ church  tonight and I showed off my Bridge To Brisbane medal to Uncle Sam! XD Toms Louiza's taking  me to GCCW  but don't think anything's happening afterwards; fingers crossed I can read for  one hour and wattch the 6pm news bulletin for the 183RD time!
Cheers,
