Saturday Post 330c

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding  total for Saturday now stands @ 2183. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

  • Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 155TH time. All the things I like  recording   are @ the bottom of today's  first post.
  • Once the  news 4nded I called out may I please join dinner yet? PIG mum  replies come; 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: the fried rice I'd cooked with Ari yesterday covered and heaped entirely with lotsa yummy   cauliflower, lotsa yummy  cabbage  and lotsa soup carrot. Oh, don't forget the  lotsa soup onion, lotsa soup  tomato and lotsa soup onion too.
  • Dinner was spooned down with one disgusting (but  thankfully watered=down XD) bowl of celery 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.
  • At 9pm I rang Aunty Lai and chatted with her for  5:43; afterwards, 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.  Oh, the special thing's that I'm sharing lunch with other EM people; it's already  been two months!!
  • Wonder where dad'll take us out for dinner toms night?
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing  day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 330b

 Heylo and good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2123 (See? Told you I'd pass two grand! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Developing Endurance' but thirdly and way most importantly,  I'm really still  owed ELEVEN MINUTES online while I'm ringing  Aunty Lai @ 9pm!! Hence why I'll keep  the speaker on  and  continue surfing the net while we're chatting. Righteo, continuing today's events?

  • PIG mum beginning her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs wakes me for  one more pot :P trip around 9am; soon,  she's let her into my room to hit me with  the eye goo and inform me that the Socceroos were knocked outta the World Cup by Egypt this morning. I made a mental note to thank  dad for not venting his sadness @ the loss and letting me sleep. XD
  • After PIG mum lets Jane inside @ 9:30am, Jane knocks, pushes the door open and says "Good norming Em; fifteen more minutes." She's gone the moment Daddy Bear flops his paw in acknowledgement and denies  him  the chance to imperiously flick  his paw 'shoo!' @ her. XD
  • Once  I've counted down from  900 I swing myself over  to the pot :P  for one more tinkle  and we get me kitted before I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. After drinking  one tall 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.
  • Breakfast is my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast  with  another  tall cup of water, all my usual drugs :P and my first big mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey. Over and after breakfast I happily read for thirty minutes first up.
  • While I  use the loo for one more tinkle, Jane closes and locks windows.  After I climb into the passenger seat of   Sally the Stonic, Jane tootles us  off to Underwood MarketPlace,  parks underground  and grabs a trolley  for us.
  • I only  buy 2L  of milk and  Jane doesn't need anything since her partner's buying groceries today. But yay she lets me sit on the self-serve checkout while she's paying for me; on the way  to buy sushi  we even bump into  Aunty Anne and Mid Chow!
  • 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 is one bowl of the delicious fried rice I cooked with Ari yesterday (unfortunately further topped with vegetables; unsure why?) and two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey.  Over and after lunch I happily  continued reading, reaching pg. 375 @ 11:58am.
  • I use the loo for two more tinkles before Jane tootles me off to church to play  table tennis with dearest dad. Since there's time, I sit over the loo for one more tinkle on  arrival. Jane clocks off two minutes early and is heading up  to Sunshine Coast tonight to spend the weekend with her parents, her siblings and their kids! I'll see her again next Wednesday for table tennis~
  • Dad lets me win  today, meaning I don't  haveta tell PIG mum  to bok him for me, even though I copped seven/eight body shots from  him! >< XD
  • Back home I used the loo for one more tinkle then sat down to enjoy my honey chicken  sushi roll,  drink one  huge mug of herbal tea and read for another one hour and fifty-five minutes, since it's only  Saturdays that I can spend a blessed three hours reading This afternoon,  I  reached pg. 400 @ 3:04pm and FINISHED THE BOOK five  minutes later! Huge thanks to Jane/whichever carer who'd grabbed me a new book  to read; one by Isobelle Carmody. I loved her Obernewtyn (sp?) series when I was little! Oh, it's titled Come The Night. Acknowledgements for the book was finished @ 3:20pm  and EVERYTHING finished one minute later!
  • Reading for  three hours done, I  helped PIG mum with her cooking, used the loo for one tinkle then popped online and did my  daily    Bible readings before plopping online for myself.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 330

 Good evening! Firstly,  today I've been hard @ work plodding 1995 steps (so promise I'll have cracked two grand  before tonight ends XD); secondly, John Piper's daily  devotional topic from last night's "Good News: God's Happy"; thirdly, TWFT topic's Exercise Patience'; and fourthly,  Our Daily  Bread's devotional topic's "A Shepherd's Heart" but and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and FIFTY-FOUR MINUTES online after watching the 6pm  news bulletin!! Anyways, events for today
?

  • Huh,  I'd just started an  awesome sleep streak but it ended immediately! >< Never mind, 'twas a sound sleep apart from that~ *sigh*
  • After 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, after another pot :P  trip about one hour later 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*

Cheers,
Em. ^^

Friday Post 330c

 Good evening again  and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ exactly 2000. Nice number, eh? Actually, 'twas 1992 but  that number so pissed me off I got  up, hiked  eight steps and sat back down. XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

  • Reading for one hour done I use the loo for one tinkle then read my  daily Bible passages before plopping online for myself and watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 154TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the  bottom of today's first post.
  • When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner 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: half a bowl  of the yummy fried rice I'd cooked with Ari topped to the brim with yummy boiled cauliflower.
  • Less than ten minutes left,  so just super-briefly:
  • Took bowl to sink, returned online and used loo for one  more tinkle @ 9pm.
  • Toms: Jane's minding me from 9:30am till 1pm. Will ask her to please find me a new book to read since I'm hoping to have finished the  witch book by toms arvo! Yay  that  she'll feed me three big mugs of white tea with sweetener and after playing table tennis with dad @ church I'm planning to read for the rest of the day since it's only Saturdays that I can spend a blessed three hours reading; willing to forego  watching the 6pm news for the 155TH time for  that!
    Anyways, hope  everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Friday Post 330b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 1944 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'A Surprise In Your Obedience' but thirdly  and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FOURTEEN MINUTES online after I use the loo once more  @9pm!! Righteo,  continuing today's events?

  • Daddy Bear and I happily  cuddled and snored, me waking once more  for the pot :P just before noisy  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 Pele's arrival.
  • After she lets Pele in, she knocks, pushes open the door and says "Em, Pele's here. She'll help you up in fifteen more minutes, okay?" Daddy Bear gives one paw nod then imperiously flicks  his paw  'shoo'  @ her,  PIG mum, lacking any sense of humour just leaves. XD
  • When Pele returns and  taps me, I sit up,  say good morning then swing myself over to the pot :P for three more tinkles while getting to know Pele, who's thirty, from Tonga and has eleven siblings!
  • We got me kitted, I went over to the bathroom and brushed teeth before sitting over the loo  for one tinkle. After washing and drying  Era, I 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 slice of toast very lightly spread with avocado, one bowl of plain porridge, 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 ask Pele  to please gimme some  sunscreen then she walks behind me back to the bathroom  before returning to the kitchen  and washing  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 Pele's car and she tootles me off to the NAB. Arriving early, we both poke @ our smartphones until 9:50am then I head up, use  the loo for one tinkle and sit in the waiting room  awaiting Sarah's arrival.
  • Physio  today: Ten sit-to-stands with left and forward weight shift for Barefoot Elf, thirty bridges with left weight shift and Erf extended, six laps stepping over obstacle course inside clinic, two laps short hallway walking, ten laps long hallway walking and bent to ground to retrieve lolly! When  Jem originally pointed to the lolly on  the floor she said Em, it's yours if you   can get it,  so I used Sticky as a hockey stick  and bring the lolly  closer. When   she  screeched  you're not   allowed to use sticky I braced my  back  against  the plinth   then prepared to lean down  and get it but when she next screeched no, you can't  use the plinth  eitheryou'vee gotta bed down and get it I told her if you lemme sit on a chair with the plinth in front of me to catch me should  I fall forward I'll get it, but no way am I just gonna bend and retrieve the lolly by itself.  Always safety first for me; no lolly beats not stacking it. Oh, we're not   gonna  let you fall! Jem retorts.  Hence  why I willingly bend to the floor and straighten slowly; success!
  • After one more loo trip Pele tootled me home and I took a nice hot shower - hairwash  today. Also   thanks to Pele 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  with only one  slice of cheese and  one huge mug of herbal tea. Pele cleaned the bathroom and left eight minutes early; tonight she's having dinner with  her hubby to celebrate his 40TH!
  • Once I finished lunch I  took the cup over  to the sink, used the loo for one tinkle then plopped online  and started  reading the  day's Bible passages.
  • When Ari announced her arrival, PIG mum went to let  her inside and I headed over to the  gobbling :P table.
  • Today  we made fried rice together! Photos are on Facebook~
  • After PIG mum  shooed her away  precisely @ 3pm she tossed me a banana to peel for arvo tea,  passed me  one plain cracker   and poured me another huge mug of herbal tea. I happily  read the witch book for one hour, reaching pg. 325 @ 3:36pm, finishing pg. 326 @ 3:38pm (meaning this book  takes me two minutes to read one page), finished  arvo  tea @ 3:46pm, reached pg. 333 @ 3:51pm  and reached pg. 350 @ 4:12pm.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
