  • After publishing the previous post, I read and shared the She Reads Truth daily devotional then some 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: Peggy's back! She's minding me from 9:30am till 4:30pm; we'll buy groceries from Coles Pinelands plus my once-weekly crunchy pork  bahn mi for lunch (it's the last Tuesday of Summer; FINGERS CROSSED PIG mum'll FINALLY lemme buy a Vietnamese iced coffee!!) and come home for lunch before Peggy tootles me  out to  the NAB for my final physio session with Vien; fingers  crossed he really DOES remember to gimme the BIGGEST Twix bar that he can find!!
  • Peggy will see me home and showered before leaving @ like 2pm   and then apparently Michelle's coming for some kinda meeting?
  • Have reminded PIG mum to please gimme some RICE for dinner since I'll only get an Unhappy Meal with an orange juice for dinner tonight!

 Good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 4060. Ha, I'm just over four grand; that doesn't happen too often! XD Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

  • Lunch was just last night's dinner leftovers and was spooned down with one bowl of soup.
  • After taking the bowl over to the sink I plopped online and started my daily Bible readings.
  • Around 1:40pm I sat once more over the loo for two tinkles and then climbed into Cherry; the parents climbed into the car too and dad tootled us off to Ability Prosthetics and Orthotics to get my AFO fixed.
  • At APO we all take a seat. The two little sausage dogs come out for a sniff; when the little girl jumps up into PIG mum's map and says hi, poor PIG mum goes EEOP! XD
  • Peter appears and takes away the AFO for adjustments; while we're waiting, Gina shows us how she's taught the little dogs to sit, drop and shake hands!
  • AFO fixed (temporarily XD) dad drops PIG mum and me home before returning to church for some work and I plop back online.
  • Thanks to PIG mum who opens the door for Jacinta when she announces her arrival one minute late, thus saving me from a potentially dangerous trip to the front door myself.  I note down the time then I head into the bathroom.
  • So a nice warm shower for me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Jacinta who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was one delicious pear, one plain cracker and thanks to Jacinta who made me one big mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey.  Happiness was reading the Matthew Reilly novel for one hour (today I reached pg. 111 @ 4P:51pm and reached pg. 125 @ 5:12pm) before having nearly twenty-five minutes to happily play the newest version of Bejeweled I started last Wednesday) while Jacinta massaged Ela for just over one hour.
  • At 5:55pm I sat once more over the  loo  for   two tinkles while Jacinta washed up the arvo   tea stuff and then I signed her off with my thanks and byes. She's back same time next Monday.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Monday Post 611b

 Heylo again and good afternoon again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3744 (See? Told you I'd crack 3.5 grand XD) but   secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY-FIVE MINUTES online after Jacinta minds me for two hours and I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 40TH time!! Righteo, continuing today's events?

  • PIG mum returns to finish 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 slo3wly 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 bowl of healthy cereal with all my usual drugs :P   and one full cup 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 bathroom, 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 she tootles me off to   see Ray for some acupuncture and massage.
  • At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle then lie down for some massage and acupuncture and massage. PIG mum's in her element, yapping   ceaselessly @ Ray; my gracious thanks to him who always replies and keeps a conversation flowing. Like always, I enjoy the shoulder CPR the most~ Actually, today    PIG mum deserves congratulations: she controlled her excitement @ getting to yap very well and didn't burble multiple repeated syllables today! XD
  • After another tinkle, PIG mum tootled me back to Warrigal Square and we bought groceries from Woolies before returning home and finding dearest dad with lunch already waiting for us~
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
    P.S.

  • Monday Post 611

     Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2911 steps (so must have cracked three grand before the day's out XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Enjoying His Fullness'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Try For Reconciliation' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Humble Leadership' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm  really  still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-FIVE MINUTES online   after I get home from  APO!! Anyways, events for today?

    • Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't  call until 6:10am 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 when dearest dad comes to kiss me bye and retuck me back int bed, saying he's going to church to work but will come home for lunch.
    • Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and resume our happy snorings,  me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am, just before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with   absolutely nothing bar the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
      Cheers,
      Em.   ^^
