Sunday Post 329

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1965 steps (so will have definitely passed 2000 before the day ends XD); secondly, John  Piper's daily devotional topic from  last night's 'Grace Is Power - And Pardon'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Be A Father' and fourthly,  Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Gift Of Prayer'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't  call  until 6:55am and after one pot :P trip I immediately tried falling  back asleep  since I knew that PIG mum would get  very noisy  very soon!
• Yup, about sixty  deep breaths letter (before sleep had returned), noisy PIG mum went  THUMP; 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*
• PIG mum lets herself  into my room  and hits me with the  eye goo. I sit upright, she helps exceedingly slightly  with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and spreading out the tee then leaves me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I  comply  with after immediately struggling into the tee  then 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 :(m me 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.
• Surprise: I thought I'd only get one bowl of plain porridge for breakfast but instead I got  a slice of toast very lightly spread with avocado! I also pop  all my usual  drugs :P and drink 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 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  church. Obviously, I buckle my own seatbelt all day. At church, I hike up the ramp, use the last cubicle in the normal female toilets then   grab my usual spot for service on the most left.

• Yay I get to  stay seated for  worship  today~ I  sang  everything, plus the harmony  for all four songs but like  every other  week,  meant absolutely NOTHING.  ><  *sigh*

• Speaker today was Pastor Peter Pie with his final sermon from his Apostles' Creed series.

• Service ended  thirteen minutes early today; after using the loo myself for another tinkle I sat @ my usual  spot for morning tea then waited for the stalls to open!

• Only  thirty minutes left, so just briefly:

• Walked with  PIG mum  back  around and bought a slice of cheesecake from  Rosanna; YUM!

• Chatted  with Uncle Simon over morning tea; he says Australia only need to draw Portugal in their last group match  to  advance to the knockout rounds!

• Had a cheeseburger, ten chips and some orange juice with dad  @ Hungry Jack's again; it's been THREE WEEKS since I last  enjoyed a proper meal out. *sigh*

• Got home, did my daily Bible readings then plopped online.

• Once  I've used up the most important two hours of my day I'll use the loo for one tinkle then sit and read for one hour plus eat the adorable cookies PIG mum bought today for arvo tea!

• Hoping to read for one hour and read the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's)  for the 121ST time!

• Toms: PIG mum'll help  me up,  since I've a late  morning appointment to see Ray  for some acupuncture and massage. Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap  unceasingly @ him.  XD

• Jacinta's coming @ 2pm and taking me to Breathe for physio with  Winnie @ 2pm. Presuming we'll buy groceries afterwards before coming home for personal care.

• Hoping to read for another hour and watch the 6pm  news bulletin for the 122ND time!

• Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Saturday Post 329c

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2086. Anyways, final, final  events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I finished sharing my Facebook  memories. Turns out  tonight marks seven  YEARS since Mr. Marinated reached into  his wallet and passed me one  shiny hundred dollar bill! Can't believe I forgot to take a photo of  it; sure enough, I've not had another one since. >< XD
• At 9pm I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: just church, definitely nothing special.
• Resigned to a spot of lunch with dad @ HJ's then a stressful arvo @ the hands  of PIG mum. *sigh* 
• Meaning tomorrow marks THREE  WEEKS since I've enjoyed a proper meal out. *another sigh*
• Then obviously I'll not get much for dinner on our once-weekly  family dinner out...
• Anyways, looking  forward to  seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Saturday Post 329b

 Heylo and good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total  for  Saturday now stands @ 2006 (ha,  I'm just over two grand  XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional  topic's  "When It's For Your Good". Righteo, continuing today's events?

• When  PIG mum summoned me over  for dinner  @ 7:39pm 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: leftover fried rice with lotsa lettuce, two chunks of salmon and some delicious leftover turnip cake that PIG  mum made like yesterday~
• Dinner  was washed down  with one  cup of deliciour iron goddess tea; after taking the cup  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.
• Whoops, PIG mum bit my  head off for getting some support toms for a shower. She demanded I immediately cancel it and even rang the company to make sure I didn't get any support. >< *sigh*
• Toms:  just church, nothing special. Resigned to a spot of lunch with dad @ Hungry Jack's  while  the rest of EM enjoy lunch out together (meaning it's been like THREE WEEKS since I  last enjoyed a proper meal  out) and PIG mum enjoys her weekly coffee and gossip session with her aunty friends before dad drops me home then goes out for badminton and arvo  tea with his mates while I'm   expecting a stressful arvo @ the hands of mother. ><  *another sigh*
• Righteo, hopefully bbl afteter one more loo  trip after I ring Aunty Lai @ 9pm else looking forward to seeing  everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 329

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1891 steps (so will hopefully have reached 2000 before Saturday  ends); secondly,  John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Offense Of  Fearing Man'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Keep Running' and  fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Receiving From God' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-THREE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 120TH time!!~ Anyways, events for today?

• Argh, nature ruined me starting an awesome sleep streak last night; dad  had already very thoughtfully walked silently down the hallway but his unpopping of the lock into the garage awoke me! >< *sigh*
• Following the first daylight 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; following another pot :P trip around 7:45am, 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*

• Back home I take 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 rice leftovers and one huge mug of herbal tea. Louiza cleaned the bathroom before I signed her off with my thanks and byes about ten minutes early. She's back next Thursday and taking me to GCCW, which reminds me: gotta complete my GCCW  homework!
• Dearest dad tootles PIG mum and me off to see Dr. John O'Sullivan the neurologist; it's more Botox time for me! 
• At St. Andrew's Place dad drops us off and says he's going to Bunnings; Whatsapp/ring him for pickup once we're done.
• We catch the lift up then sit in the waiting room for twenty-five minutes before Dr. O'Sullivan calls my name.
• First, we sit  facing him and he asks us questions about my left limbs. He's awfully inchy. XD
• Next, I sit then lie down on his treatment plinth. I shrug outta my jacket, he/PIG mum removes Elf's footwear then Dr.  O'Sullivan starts jabbing me with needles; he's still got  that static-y machine to hear my muscles scream  with pain but I've forgotten the  name. XD
• Elf jabbed several times, I sit upright and shrug outta my tee (it's alright since I'm still  wearing the bra) and Dr. O'Sullivan next injects Ela's triceps and pec after I  sit upright.
• My next appointment to see  him's in nine months'  time,  while PIG mum pays $945 Medicare will pay back $758; that's still $187 forked out!
• Less than thirty minutes  left, so just super-briefly:
• Got home,  read for one hour then watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the

Friday Post 329

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard  @ work plodding 2885 steps (so prolly won't reach 3000 before tonight's out, sorry XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'How To  Plead For Unbelievers'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Resurrect Your Dream'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Path Of Life'  and fifthly,  Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "The Desire To Do God's Will" but  sixthly and  way most importantly, I'm  really still owed FIFTY-FOUR MINUTES  online after I use the loo once more @ 9:45pm!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature  didn't call until 7:35am 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 cuddled and snored, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am, just before noisy PIG mum  begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Louiza's arrival @ 9:30am.
• After PIG mum lets Louiza inside @ 9:30am,  she knocks, pushes open  the door and says "Good morning Em; I'll get you up in  fifteen minutes, okay?" Daddy Bear  imperiously replies with a paw wave 'shoo!'; Louiza smirks but wisely closes the door thus saving  her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
• After counting down 900 seconds, I swing myself over to the pot :P  for one more tinkle and announce "Louiza, I'm hungry." She's next door inside the bathroom and immediately comes over; we get me kitted and 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, who tells me that she enjoyed two fried eggs for breakfast this morning, the lucky thing!
• Me, I may have gotten one bowl  of plain porridge? I definitely got one slice  of toast, lightly  spread with  avocado  and lvery lightlly  sprinkled with salt. I also pop all my usual drugs :P and drink 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* Also thanks  to Louiza who turned on Sunrise for my viewing pleasure~
• Breakfast finished, I asked Louiza to please gimme (my face and both  hands) some sunscreen before she walked behind me back to the bathroom then returned to the kitchen and washed the breakfast stuff 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 passenger seat of Louiza's car and she tootles  me  off to UQ for physio. Thanks to her  who kindly helped me with my seatbelt both ways. Yay for a smooth run to UQ; we got there  early  enough for me to have ten minutes to play mobile games before heading upstairs @ 9:50am.
• After using the loo for one tinkle I sat inside the waiting room.  Turns out the lady sitting beside me was the one who totally stacked it last week! After asking  was she  the one who took a tumble last Friday I then asked hope you are alright?? You made a huge crash when you dropped; I was hallway walking with my student and when I saw you stack it gasped @ my student "Go in and save her!" But  then in the next second  Elaine  the teacher had  rushed over and disn't  scream call the ambulance so we presumed you were uninjured?? She laughed, replying yes, I made quite a big ruckus going  down, didn't I? But don't  worry; I  didn't hurt myself. Oh, phew~
• Physio  today: Barefoot Elf weight bearing,  leaning forward,  eight laps long hallway walking,  ten laps obstacle course in the NAB, stepping for Elf with a little right weight shift and stepping for Erf with lotsa left weight shift.
• After one more tinkle, Louiza tootles me home,  stopping @ the Warrigal Square Maccas to buy herself lunch (a double/triple cheeseburger meal WITHOUT the  buns since she's mildly gluten intolerant?); she even gets me a dirty chai and  shouts me some chips! :D
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
