Friday Post 331c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight!  Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ exactly 2500. Nice number,  eh? Actually, 'twas 2491 but the number pissed me  off so much I got up,   walked nine  steps around the chair and sack back down. XD Anyways, final, final  events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post I finished sharing my Facebook memories then had several minutes to happily play  Bejeweled.
  • 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: Louiza's minding me from  9:30am till 1pm. PIG mum  says we'll buy my honey chicken sushi  roll from Underwood MarketPlace plus whatever groceries she wants from Woolworths before coming home for a shower and lunch (more air fryer tofu). Yay that Louiza's  already said she'll lemme drink one big mug oof white tea with sweetener for breakfast and two more for lunch~
  • Unsure can dad take me to play table tennis with him this arvo? If  yes, yay but if no,  I'll definitely get to  read for three hours toms; might even  get  to watch the 6pm news for the 174TH time!
  • Anyways,  hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Friday Post 331

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2387 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Suffering That Strengthens Faith'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Confidence-building  Scriptures'  and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "This Battle's God's" but fifthly  and way most importantly,  I'm really still owed THIRTY-SIX MINUTES online after I  watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 173RD time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • What better way than to end the working week than with an  awesome sleep  last night? Nature didn't call until 7:45am and after using the pot :P for one tinkle I did the bed exercises that Winnie taught me to prevent  further back pain and then 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 the pot :P once more 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 before returning outside and awaiting Louiza's arrival @ 9:30am but coming back and giving me fifteen more minutes when Louiza hasn't arrived @ the appointed time. I immediately start counting down from 900 and  remind PIG mum please ring CODA should Louiza not arrive by 9:40am but I'm sure she will so after she comes just tell her to help me up @ 9:45am. Sure enough, Louiza arrives very shortly afterwards~
  • When Louiza bangs the door I've still got ninety seconds  left; she hears my indignant screech and wisely removes herself, thus saving her from the wrath of  the Bear Bum.  XD Ninety seconds later, I swing myself over to the pot for three more tinkles and announce that I'm hungry to Louiza who comes immediately. Sure enough, she was late since she was stuck along Logan Rd this morning.
  • We get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth, then sit over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying  Era I head out to the gobbling :P table with Louiza.
  • Breakfast is one slice of  dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully  very lightly  sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Thanks to Louiza for turned Sunrise on  for my viewing  pleasure, and 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  ask Louiza to please gimme (face and both hands) some sunscreen and then   she walks behind me back to  the bathroom before returning to  the kitchen and washing the breakfast things 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 buckle my seatbelt both ways.
  • Making good time to UQ, we both sit and poke @ our smartphones for like ten minutes before heading up. After using the loo for one tinkle we both take a seat in the waiting room.
  • Lol today I've a new physio student from Egypt but I've already forgotten his name! ^^"
  • Physio today: Twenty Barefoot sit-to-stands with left and forward weight shift, ring stacking for Era with more forward and left weight shift, four laps short hallway walking, two laps long hallway walking and a hike around the great court! The coolest  thing   was that I bumped into   Mr. Jennings! The students and I are hiking along the Great Court when suddenly some tall fellow steps in front of me, saying "Hello,  Emily." I've got awful facial recognition  and it took me a few seconds to identify him, but  ... "Mr. Jennings?" It was! We hugged and I introduced my high school Japanese student to the  two physio  students.
  • After using the loo for two more tinkles, Louiza tootled me home and I 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.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

  • When PIG mum summons me  to dinner @ 7:16pm I use the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk 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 icky bitter vegetable, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup carrot and three tiny slices of thin yummy pork.

Thursday Post 331

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1815 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's  "God's Plan For Martyrs; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Act   And React Like A Christian' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'New Life For Dead Hearts'. Anyways,  events for today?

  • Phew that I achieved my 11TH week of consecutive  awesome sleeps yesterday coz nature immediately called last night/this morning and ended it! >< XD
  • Following the first  daylight pot :P  trip I immediately did the two  exercises Winnie taught me to prevent further back  pain and then 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 once more for the pot :P around 9am, shortly before PIG mum's noisy  daily  a-THUMPING around upstairs begins. 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 her last night. That's alright, Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes and let her wear her sock to sleep last night but obviously tugged the sock off first thing this morning! XD
  • When the carer didn't arrive @ 9:45pm precisely,  PIG mum immediately gave me fifteen more minutes. I complied and reminded her to ring CODA @ 9:40am should the carer not have turned up. 
  • Sure enough, I heard PIG mum ring CODA @ 9:40am; five minutes later she helps me up. Phew, the carer from Staffing Options arrives just before PIG mum sticks Elf's AFO on! It's been three months since I last saw Fay and her boy's doing grade one @ some private school now!
  • I brush  teeth, use the loo for one tinkle then head out  to the gobbling :P table with Fay.
  • Breakfast is one slice of dry (unbuttered)  toast lightly   spread with avocado  and lightly  sprinkled with  salt, 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*
  • Breakfast finished, I ask Faye to please gimme some sunscreen (face and both hands) before she accompanies me back to the bathroom then returns to the kitchen and washes the breakfast dishes up. 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 passenger seat of Fay's car and she tootles me off to Underwood Park for my 8th hike around the lake this year!
  • Today we see lotsa babies being pushed inside baby strollers, dogs and a Canto aunty even teaches me that water dragons are called 'sek yek' in Canto! Yup, Gimpy  came out for awhile~
  • Back home, I took   a nice hot shower -  hairwash today. Also thanks to Fay  who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to  hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was a tuna in tomato and onion toastie with only one cheese and a packet of powdered HK-style milk tea. Fay cleans the bathroom and dad immediately  tries to send her away  but I protest isn't Faye meant  to stay until  2pm? Besides, she said she'd help me put on my puffer vest first! Lol, dad was so  eager to get rid of her early that he brought the vest out and helped me with it himself! XD
  • When I said my thanks and byes to Fay I added cya November since she said I last saw her four  months ago and four months later it's November! XD
  • Finished lunch, took cup  to sink, used loo for one tinkle, did my daily Bible readings and used loo for another tinkle before popping online for myself.
  • At 5:45pm I'll ask PIG mum for a quick  bite of  arvo tea then I'll use the loo for one more tinkle before watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 172ND time!
  • Best of all it's ice cream night  toms night; like I  say every week, a  very little's better than none @ all!
  • Toms:  Louiza's coming @ like 8am and taking me for two  hours of physio  @ UQ with Vincente. She'll see me showered and fed with lunch before leaving @ 2pm.
  • Then  Ari's coming and making some tofu dish with me;  PIG mum's prepping the tofu tonight! Hoping  to  read for one hour afterwards and watch the 6pm news for  the 173RD time~
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl   tonight, else wishing everyone hope everyone has a smashing end to  their week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^
