 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2024. Ha, I'm just over two grand. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After I tapped the nice hot water off and PIG mum dried the back of the chair for me, 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 up.
• 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 watched pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 66TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of today's second post.
  
• Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Our once-weekly family dinner out together was @ Ho Lin Wah. Ate nearly (but not quite 1.5 bowls of honey chicken rice and almost (but again not quite) one bowl of thin soupy ho fan, drank half the set soup, one cup of Chinese tea and just over one mouthful of the hot HK-style milk tea.
• Got home, returned online then used loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm.
• Toms: morning appointment to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage, early arvo appointment @ APO to fix my AFO and a mid-arvo appointment @ Breathe for physio! Hence why Jacinta's with me until 6pm~
• Hoping to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 67TH time!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Only nature called again @ 9:35pm. New final, final plodding total for Sunday: 2105.

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 1949 (so will have reached two grand before tonight ends, sweet XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Before Abraham   Was, I AM'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

•  After reading for one hour, I happily played some version of Bejeweled on my mobile until woke from her long arvo and tossed me one banana, one plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea for arvo tea.
• Then I took a nice hot shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today.   I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of 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.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• After I'd used up the most important two hours for   the day, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat @ the hobbling :P table to read for one hour and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea.
• While reading The Collected Regrets Of Clover, I reached pg. 325 @ 4:26 and reached pg. 333 @ exactly 4:35pm. Have I said yet? This book takes me two minutes to read one page.
  Cheers,

Sunday Post 214

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1331 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "The Great King's Wine"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'True Repentance Brings Restoration' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Slow Anger'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, for the first time in three days, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call am and after one pot :P trip I immediately try falling back asleep before PIG mum starts STOMPING around upstairs very soon!
• Instead, fifty-odd breaths in, noisy PIG mum goes a-THUMP, and I realise I'll not fall back asleep this morning. 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 to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with   absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and laying out the tee before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after 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's one dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P, 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*
• 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 buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles us off to church and parks outside the service hall. I hike up the ramp, use the disabled loo myself for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then grab my usual spot on the most left.
• Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Stayed seated for worship; sang everything plus the harmony for four songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Ezekiel; his sermon today was Psalm 73: When The Grass Is Greener On The World's Side."
• Used loo for another tinkle, had morning tea behind church then had lunch with dad @ Hungry Jack's (a chicken royale burger, ten chips and a small orange juice) while everyone else from ESS enjoyed Korean food together. *sigh*
• Got home, used loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era, did the daily Bible readings then plopped online for myself.
• Wonder where dad will take us for dinner tonight? Yay that he says I can watch the 6pm news first~
• Toms: provided Ray's back from holidays, PIG mum'll help me up and I'll see him for some acupuncture and massage. Bet she's DYING to yap unceasingly @ him; me, I'm just hoping Ray remembered to bring back a souvenir for me! XD
• Unsure does PIG mum wanna grocery shop before coming home for lunch with dearest dad.
• Jacinta's minding me from 2pm till 6pm toms and taking me to Breathe for physio. Maybe we'll grocery shop afterwards before coming home for a shower?
• May not get the time to read the book club novel for one hour but looking forward to watching the 6pm news!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2724. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• When nature randomly called @ 8:40pm, I walked myself once 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.
• I continued reading and sharing my Facebook memories then @ 9pm walked myself slowly and safely once more to the loo for one more tinkle and back, again and 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.  Would love lunch out with other ESS peoples but will only get like a pissy little cheeseburger, around ten chips and an orange juice with   dad @ the Rochedale Hungry Jacks. *sigh* 
• Also expecting a stressful  arvo  @ the hands of   PIG mum. >< *another sigh* But hoping to read for one hour and watch the 6pm news for the 66TH time!
• Righteo, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em.   ^^

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2609 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Essence Of Gratitude.' Righteo,  continuing today's events?

• Back home I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Jane who helps 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 (Jane couldn't find the oyster sauce so added some teriyaki sauce instead!)  and two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey. I happily continued reading, reaching pg. 200 @ 12:06pm. Lunch finished, I again asked Jane to please massage Ela again, since she was just tapping @ her smartphone.
• Before leaving I sit over the loo once more for two tinkles but @ church I ask Jane to please take me again to the bathroom for one more tinkle since we arrived heaps early.
• Lol, we arrive early enough that dad gets Jane to play table tennis with me for a while; she's a natural!
• At 1pm I sign her off with my thanks and byes; tonight her partner's taking her to see some cabaret! She's back next Friday~
• Dad and I had great fun playing; he not only lemme win in straight sets; he even lemme win the set he wanted to win to save face! XD But he hit me with the ball ELEVEN times, meaning I came home full of holes.  >< XD
• Coming back home; dad lemme ask Cherry to open the sunroof! The piece under it's the shade, BTW.
• Back home, I used the loo for one more tinkle then sat and read for a good long while, since it's only Saturday then I can spend a blessed three hours reading~ This arvo, I finished pg.  222 @ 2:48pm, reached pg. 225 @ exactly 2:50, finished pg.  250 @ 3:29pm and reached pg. 275 @ 4:04pm.
• Did another stinky unspeakable before plopping online and reading my daily Bible verses.
• Skipped watching the 6pm news in order to have dinner with dearest dad; got PIG mum to bok   him for hitting me lotsa times with the Ping pong ball today! >< She half-heartedly swatted him over the shoulder once. XD
• Drank  soup, took   bowl to  counter then returned online.
• 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 Sunday,   else looking  forward  to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 214

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2512 steps (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "What's Well-Placed Shame?"; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Fight For Your Marriage"; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'A Portrait Of Dependence' and fifthly, Em's final, final plodding total for Friday's 3519 (ha,  I'm just over 3.5 grand XD But the poor Broncos lost to  the Cowboys! ><) but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm   really still owed TWENTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after dinner tonight!!  Anyways, events for today?

• Nature called once around 12:45am; after the first morning pot :P trip around  6:35am 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*
• When nature calls again 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*
• Afterwards, Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me not waking again for the pot :P until awoken by PIG mum's daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor Elf's ankle a very brief rub, since she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night. That's alright; Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes and let her wear her sock to sleep last night but obviously peeled the sock off first thing this morning! XD
• When PIG mum lets Jane inside @ 9:30am, Jane knocks, pushes open the door, calls out "Good morning, Em; fifteen more minutes" then closes the door immediately after Daddy Bear flops his paw once @ her; he's not even got the time to wave his paw 'shoo'! XD
• Once I've counted down 900 seconds, I announce "Jane, I'm hungry!" then swing myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle. Jane immediately comes, we get me kitted and then I head over to  the bathroom   and brush teeth. After drinking one full cup of water I 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 Jane, who tells me that she had her usual breakfast smoothie for her morning meal.
• Me, I get my once-weekly fried egg on dry (unbuttered) toast, another full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and one delicious mug of earl grey tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey. Over and after breakfast, I happily read the book club novel for thirty minutes. Jane tidies my   bedroom then sits @ the gobbling :P table to play with her mobile, hence why I ask her please massage Ela, which she does after putting the dishes into the sink.
• After reading for thirty minutes, I ask Jane to please gimme some sunscreen before I use the loo for one more tinkle while she shuts and locks windows.
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Sarah. Jane's planning to get rid of her @ the end of this year! 
• Jane tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace and parks underground before getting a trolley.
• First  we buy a jug  of   lite milk  from   Woolies and then I just lean against  the benchtop while Jane   gets me  a honey chicken   sushi roll  from  Sushi  Creators.
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^
