 Good evening again! Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 1015. Ha, I'm just over one  grand. XD Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• When PIG mum  summoned me for dinner @ 7:38pm, 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.
  Cheers,

Firstly, Em's potential   final, final  plodding total  for Friday now  stands @ only 943 (but will have hopefully cracked 1000  before Thursday ends) and secondly,  Joni's devotional topic's 'Follow Me'. Righteo, potential final, final  events for tonight?

• At 5:45pm, once I'd used up  the most  important two hours of my day, I headed over to  the gobbling :P to  enjoy arvo tea (one gloopy mouthful of delicious passionfruit, one plain cracker and one huge mug of green/herbal tea that  tasted BITTER since the passionfruit  was really  sweet! ><  XD
• One quick tinkle before I  returned online.
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's)    for  the 158TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of   today's first post.
• Righteo, hopefully bbl  after  dinner else wishing everyone  a smashing  weekend ahead!
  Cheers,

Friday Post 330

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard  @ work plodding only 870 steps (since I've used Sparkless3 but will hopefully reach 1000 before the night's out);  secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Six Ways Jesus Fought Depression';  thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Holy Communion' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'God Watching Over Us'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Despite me praying before bed last night asking Got   please don't send the noisy garbage truck THUNDERING down our road to tip bins until AFTER the Sun has risen fully enough that I can clearly see the time from the clock on the wall, God replied screw you and sent that noisy beat HURTLING down the road when the sky  had only just started lightening and 'twas definitely too dark to see the clock! >< Doesn't matter; I just went screw You back  and successfully fell back asleep without incident. When I've been frustrated PIG mum's heard me telling God I'm not gonna let You win and she sneers @ me, who  are you to  win  God? Me: I'm not,  obviously. Hello, He's GOD. I'm just saying that I'm not gonna let Him win. Case in point today: I  successfully fell back asleep without incident.
• Nature doesn't call  again until  PIG mum's daily loud a-THUMPING around wakes me; I'm actually still sitting over the pot :P when she lets herself into my room to  hit me with the eye goo and  help me exceedingly slightly with  absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and laying out  the tops before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into  the tops and giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• 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. That done 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 some avocado and hopefully very lightly sprinkled with some salt, one mug of warm unsweetened Milo, all my usual drugs :P  and one full mug of water. Thanks to PIG mum who kindly turned on Sunrise for my viewing pleasure! 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 finishing 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 sit by the front door and await Louiza's arrival. Once she gets here, Spatkless3 goes into her carboot, I climb into the passenger seat and Louiza tootles  me off to Ken's funeral and unloads me into Sparkless3 before taking me to  the disabled loo once. Then we just wait on the veranda; lol we're so  early nobody else from GCCW has arrived yet!
• But phew, Nancy, Stewart and Alison soon  arrive as does Stan who's driven his wife Jan, Alison and Pat~
• Once the room's open I head inside and transfer to a most  left seat  about halfway down the room. Louiza stashes away Sparkless3 then sits beside me; Stan and Jan complete the row while Rob, Sattya, Stewart and Pat sit one row ahead.
• It's a secular  service without  any hymns sung nor preaching from any pastor but Ken's relatives (one son, two daughters together and one granddaughter) plus Rob for GCCW speak. It's a closed casket funeral.
• When everyone starts filing out, Louiza gets Sparkless3 for  me,  while a funeral attendant waits with me.
• Ken's plot is quite close to    the chapel/service hall  and I'm very impressed with  how high tech  things are now! His coffin was lowered smoothly without labour into his grave and then  everyone came and put a little spadeful  of dirt into the still open grave. At  first Louiza said she thinks only  family are invited to   do that but when I saw non-family members lining up to do it too I told Louiza I wanted to   as well;  would she please push me over there/could she walk  behind  me? We'd come off the main road and were  on the grass but Louiza still managed to push Sparkless 3 over; someone handed me the little spade with dirt inside, I tipped  it's contents into the open grave over the closed casket and whispered a final  goodbye to Ken.
• And that was it! Back near the entrance, we all sat around round tables and nibbled fancy morning tea (healthy sandwiches, mini quiches, fruit and some sweet slice). 
• Before  leaving Louiza took me once more to  the loo  and Maureen came for a hug goodbye.
• Back inside the car I asked Louiza did mother gimme money for lunch and since she replied no, rang PIG  mum and asked um, what was lunch? PIG mum just  replied come home.
• Took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Louiza who  helped 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 tasteless rice leftovers and one huge mug of green tea.
• Louiza cleaned the bathroom and I sat once more over the loo for  two tinkles before signing her off with my  thanks and byes. Can't remember when she's coming back.
• Once I've used up the  most important two hours of my day online (5:45pm) I'll quietly wolf down arvo  tea, use the loo for one tinkle then watch  the 6pm news  bulletin (Nine's) for the 158TH time.
• Toms:  someone new's minding me... Pele! Sorry she's been  @  least once before! She's from Care Agency; hopefully she'll feed me three big mugs of white tea with  sweetener~
• Presume we're getting my sushi roll for arvo  tea plus whatever groceries PIG mum wants from Woolies?
• Will prolly play table tennis with   dad @ church toms arvo then looking to reading all arvo:  starting the book  club novel  toms with  three hours' reading and it's only  a tiny book this time!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl,  else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 330c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding  total for Thursday now stands @ 2145. Righteo, just super-briefly (since I'm already outta time) final, final events for tonight?

• Eight/nine attended tonight   and there was even hot  chocolate!
• Got home, had dinner,  drank  soup, took  bowl to sink  and returned online.
• Used loo for one more  tinkle @ 9pm.

Thursday Post 330b

 Heylo again and good evening!  Firstly,  Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2084 (ha, I'm just over  two grand XD) and  secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'You  Can Never Pray  Too Much'. Righteo, continuing events for today?

• Once I'd used  up the most important two  hours of my day, I used the loo for one tinkle then headed over to the gobbling :p  table, asking PIG mum please for some arvo tea.  She tossed me one banana (to peel myself), one plain rice cracker and poured me one huge mug of green tea.
• At 5:25pm I sat over the loo for two tinkles then sat @ the door awaiting Lorraine's pickup @   5:30pm.
• After she arrives, I climb into her car (which has a step up but luckily isn't as big as to need the block dearest dad once made for Hannah's tank XD) and Lorraine tootles me off to the Logan North  Library for book club! While she's driving us there, I note that  the sky isn't totally dark and rejoice that Winter's nearing vanquishment. XD (Apparently that's a word? XD
• At the library, we catch  a lift up, both use the disabled loo (why Logan libraries are superior to Brisbane libraries: apart from an automatic hand dryer, they've got paper towels too!) then enter the  meeting room; Di's already there! Lorraine sees me seated, makes me TWO little paper cups of drink (there's tea AND hot chocolate tonight!) then sits outside the meeting room where the booths are.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 330

 Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday's actually 1594 (so ha, I'm just over 1.5 grand but alas the mighty Maroons lost the Origin shield to the smelly Blues last night ><); secondly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's 'Keep  Your Focus On  God'; thirdly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1195 steps (ha, I'm over one grand XD); fourthly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Saving Love Loves Forgiveness';  fourthly, TWFT topic's 'God Loves And Accepts You' and fifthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Holy Grail'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:50am and after one pot :P trip 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,  me waking again for the pot :P  about one hour later when  PIG mum begins her noisy daily a-THUMPING around. Soon, she's let herself into  my  room to hit me with the eye goo before returning outside and waiting Louiza's arrival @ 8am. When Louiza's not  arrived @ 8:01am  she immediately taps me with fifteen more minutes and I comply straightaway and remind her to please call  CODA should Louiza  have not  arrived by ten past but I'm  sure she's just stuck in traffic and sure enough, that's exactly what happens! XD
• After Louiza taps me up,  I  say  good morning then use the pot :P  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,  washing and drying Era I walk out  to the gobbling :P  table with Louiza,  who tells me she's not had any breakfast yet. 
• Me, for breakfast I get one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread with avocado  and spread with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one big mug of warm Milo. Over breakfast 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* Thanks also to Louiza who turned on Sunrise  for my viewing pleasure~
• After  breakfast,  I call Louiza back to please gimme some sunscreen (my face and both hands) and then she walks behind me back  to  the  bathroom then returns to  the kitchen and washes the breakfast stuff up. Over  the looI 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 pf Louiza's car and she tootles me off to the Garbo library for GCCW! Thanks to Louiza who kindly  helps me with my seatbelt both ways~
• At the library I use the disabled loo once then grab my usual spot @ the most left inside meeting room one. Louiza returns to the car and fetches my morning tea money then leaves to buy groceries for PIG mum.
• Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly: nine attended, Tammy helped me to the bathroom @ the break and Mary got me morning tea, got home and showered before having a tuna toastie with only one slice of cheese plus one big mug of  powdered HK-style milk tea for lunch.
• Signed Louiza off with my   thanks and byes @ like 1:15pm.  She's back toms morning.
• Finished lunch, took cup to sink,  wrote the condolence card, used the loo  for one tinkle then plopped online,  going to open the door for dearest  dad @ 4:40pm when he returned home.
• Lorraine's taking me  to book club tonight!
• Best of all, it's ice cream night tonight; like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Toms: think  PIG mum's helping me up before  Louiza takes me  to Ken's funeral? Perhaps expect a super-pissy plodding total since I'm going in Sparkless3 but PIG mum's demanded  I  transfer to a normal seat after arrival to prevent  any  back pain.
• Afterwards we're sharing fish  and chips for lunch before Louiza sees me home and showered.
• Can't remember will Ari/some other OT come and cook with me?
• Anyways, hopefully bbl tonight, else wishing  everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
