Tuesday Post 330b

 Heylo again, good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 2779. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post I started reading  the She Reads Truth   daily devotional.
  • At  9pm I walked myself once more slowly   and safely 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: hope PIG mum helps me up not too late; I've gotta finish my  GCCW homework
  • Jane's coming  @ 1:30pm, taking me to table tennis then seeing me  home and showered before leaving @ 6:30.  Have just reminded the parents to gimme dinner when she leaves since Origin coverage begins @ 7pm! Sure the team that  wins the  first game has like a 2/3 chance of  winning the  3rd but the mighty Maroons rarely lose @ Suncorp!! When Jane drives me to  table tennis toms arvo I've gotta remember to  watch and read the Origin previews!
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing  day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 330

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2699 steps (ha, I'm over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic's 'How Christ Conquered Bitterness'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'More Responsibility  Calls For More Prayer'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Way  Wisdom Works' and fifthly, Joni's devotional topic's "Ups The Best Direction" but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm  really  still owed THIRTY-FOUR MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways,  events for today?

  • Yay, 3rd  consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't  call until 7:50am 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, me waking for one more pot :P trip   shortly 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 then going  back outside and awaiting Peggy's arrival @ 9:30am.
  • After PIG mum opens the door for Peggy @ 9:30am, she knocks, pushes open my bedroom  door and announces good morning. After Daddy  Bear flops a paw @ her she next states "Fifteen more minutes."  Daddy Bear doesn't even bother with another paw nod this time; he just imperiously flicks his paw @ her shoo! XD Peggy smirks but wisely does as bid, thus saving her from  the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
  • After counting down from 900 seconds I swing myself over to  the pot :P   for one more tinkle and announce "Peggy, I'm hungry ..."  She's next door (in the bathroom) and immediately comes over. We get me kitted and then I head over to  the bathroom and brush  teeth. Thanks to Peggy who's already squirted some toothpaste for me. 
  • Teeth  brushed I sit over the loo  for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to  the gobbling :P table with Peggy,  who says that she had her two usual  fried eggs for breakfast today.
  • Me,  I only  get one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread with    avocado  and lightly  sprinkled with salt.  I also drink one full cup of water, pop all my  usual  drugs :P and drink   another mug of unsweetened Milo. 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*

  •  Breakfast finished, Peggy gives me (face and both hands) some sunscreen then follows me back to  the bathroom  and washes up the breakfast dishes. 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 backseat  of  Auto (pronounced Alto) and Peggy tootles us off to Pinelands, finding   a disabled park near Coles and grabbing   a trolley for us. Oh,  and thanks to Peggy who kindly helps me with my seatbelt all day.

  • At Coles we both buy groceries and visit  Vicki, who's working a checkout. She's extremely confident that QLD will retain the Origin shield toms night so yay for that!

  • Back home I use the loo  for  one tinkle then enjoy my toasted crunchy pork bahn mi plus  one huge mug of delicious earl grey  tea sweetened  with one spoonful of honey for lunch.

  • At 12:15pm I climb back into the passenger seat  of Auto  and Peggy tootles me off to the NAB for two hours' physio with Sarah, arriving early  enough that we spend ten minutes poking @ our smartphones before heading upstairs @ 12:50pm.

  • Physio today: 2x TUG tests, 2 10m walk rest, 1  six-minute walk rest, standing at portable steps with residents, left and forward weight shift and both hands ball tossing and eight laps short hallway walking with obstacle course.

  • Afterwards,  Peggy tootles me home and I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy  who helps me rinse out my  hair, thus freeing Era to hold my  stupid right eye tightly shut.

  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea's one plain crackle, one yummy  banana and one huge mug of   herbal   tea. Peggy cleans the bathroom and does her notes; @ 4pm I sign her off with my thanks and byes. She's back same time next Tuesday.

  • Over and after arvo tea I  happily read for one hour, finishing page  seventy-five @ 5:10pm.

  • Used loo for one tinkle, did my daily Bible readings then started  compoosing my GCCW homework!

  • PIG mum got   dearest  dad to  start dinner with her but without me but luckily  dad invited me over @ 7pm. I used the loo for one tinkle before  walking 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 less yummy pawpaw, lotsa some other vegetable I've since forgotten,  two  three chunks of salmon and two thin slices 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.

  • When nature suddenly   called @ 8:10pm 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.

  • Anyways, hopefully bbl after one more tinkle @ 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 Wednesday  ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3474 (so should have reached 3.5 grand before tonight ends, yay) but secondly and way more  importantly, I'm really  still  owed FORTY-ONE MINUTES online after I use the loo  once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, continuing events for today?

  • Lunch  was washed down with a beautiful mug of Chinese tea; after taking the bowl to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • At 1:55pm I sat over the loo for two more tinkles then sit by the front door awaiting Jacinta's arrival. She arrives promptly, phew.
  • Jacinta tootles me  off to  Breathe for physio, explaining that she'd had  a bad cold. The poor thing; she's still coughing~
  • After arriving early we've both  got ten minutes to poke   @ our phones before Jacinta droops me off by the front door for Winnie.
  • Physio today: 1.666km bike ride, forty bar-assissted push ups with left weight shift, forty steps for Erf with more left weight shift, forty steps for Erf, forty v-bar cable rows for both hands, forty leg curls for Elf, forty leg extensions for Elf, forty leg curls for Elf, forty leg curls for Erf, forty leg curls for Erf  and boxing!
  • After one bathroom trip Winnie hands me back to Jacinta and she tootles us off to  Sunny Park to buy groceries. Turns out PIG mum only wants a jug of milk  and there's enough  change for a soft serve afterwards, yay!
  • Back home I take a nnice hot shower  - hairwash today. Also thanks to Jacinta who helps me rinse out my  hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
    Cheers,

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3399 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Small Faith' but thirdly   and way most importantly, I'm really still  owed  online after dinner tonight!! Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

  • After breakfast, I walk myself slowly  and safely hack to  the loo, 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 the Chery and buckle my seatbelt, since it's movie time!
  • Dad tootles  us off to The Garbo  cinemas and  parks somewhere; unsure he won't lemme use the lift  but demanded that I catch the escalator up? Funniest thing was that we'd arrived that early the cinemas hadn't even opened yet! XD 
  • Once the cinemas were finally open, we headed in, lined up, ordered food from  the snack bar then headed in! Wasn't impressed that I needed to hike NINE steps to reach my seat, but  hey.
  •  Then hey, oh, the luxury! Most surprisingly there weren't  any ads and the movie started immediately!
  • AWESOME MOVIE! Lol I'm behind with my blogging: last year I didn't write my first twenty years post about our moving into our  current ugly  house nor did I compose one about last  year marking fifteen  years since my most  beloved maternal  grandmother moved up to  heaven to live with God forever but after doing them I'm gonna haveta pen a post for this movie: 'twas AWESOME!  Must ask Bing what that cute green blobby monster was plus that orange slimy thing was but phew, they weren't scary @ all. My favourite part was when the movie Minion accepted his Oscar (appropriately a golden banana XD) and he said xie xie; see, Minions speak Chinese too!! XD
  • Dad tootled us home for an early lunch: just half the leftover slider that dad had ordered for us and we'd eaten one each  already! PIG mum  had the other half~

Monday Post 330

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2020 steps (ha, I';m just over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Give God Your Revenge'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Have You Prayed  About It?' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Thriving In God's Presence" but fifthly  and way most importantly, I'm still owed ONE HOUR and ELEVEN MINUTES online after Jacinta takes me tom physio, buys groceries with me, sees me home and showered then leaves @ 6pm while I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 157TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  •  Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:50am 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*
  • Very shortly after that, PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs and very soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with  the  eye goo and give poor  Elf a very brief rub, since she'd totally ignored my poor  foot last night. That's alright, Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes and allowed her to wear her sock to sleep  last night but obviously tugged the sock off first thing this morning! XD
  • After PIG mum helps me exceedingly slightly  with absolutely nothing bar  the bra strap and laying out the tee and jumper,  she leaves me  to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into the tops then giving  myself fifteen more minutes first.
  • 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. Right now, my teeth  are sparkly clean since I'm brushing with  the MAGIC of Harry Potter toothpaste! :D XD
  • Teeth brushed,  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 more of those weird-tasting buns that I helped mother make recently! I also pop all  my usual drugs :P and drink one tall  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* Yay also that PIG mum kindly turns on Sunrise for my viewing pleasure; I'm rarely awake early enough to watch it!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
