Thursday Post 332c

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 4784. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • At 9pm I walked myself slowly  and safely once more 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.
  • It's ice cream night tonight,  yay! Like I  say  every week, a very little's better than none~
  • Toms: think some agency  carer's helping me  up @ 8am and taking me to the NAB for two hours of  physio with Vincente? Will ask him did the CEs get my email from today about how I stacked it  totally last night. Gosh, I'm  such an arse. >< *sigh*
  • After the agency carer leaves, Ari's coming to give Ela one hour of unfunctional exercises.
  • Hoping to read for one hour afterwards and watch the 6pm news for  the 178TH time!
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing end to the week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

Wednesday Post 332

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1343 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's "As Secure A God's Faithful"; thirdly, TWFT topic's "You're Not Alone; God's With   You!" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Family In God' but fifthly  and way most importantly I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TEN MINUTES online after I get home from our GG social  tonight!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like  the past several days, nature didn't call until   7:45am and after one pot :P trip  I did the exercises Winnie taught me to prevent further back pain  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   cuddled and snored, me waking once more for  the pot :P around 9am 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 and give poor Elf a very  brief rub since she 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 though obviously tugged the sock off first   thing this morning! XD
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

Tuesday Post 331

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 5486 steps (sweet I'm more than half a normal person;  that's rare! XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Why You    Have  A Body'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Learn 2b Led By God's Spirit"; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Help God Provides' and fifthly, Joni's devotional topic's "The Greater Glory" but fifthly and way more importantly,  I'm really still owed FIFTY-FOUR MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, second consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 7:45am and after one pot :P trip I immediately did the bed exercises Winnie taught me to prevent  further back pain before 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  began 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 Peggy's arrival @ 9:30am.
  • After PIG mum lets Peggy inside,  Peggy  knocks, opens the door and announces good morning. When I flop  Daddy Bear's paw @ her,   she  next   states, "Fifteen more minutes." Daddy Bear gives another paw nod before imperiously  flicking his paw 'shoo!' @ her; Peggy smirks but wisely does as ordered, thus saving her from the wrath of  the Bear Bum. XD
  • Once I've counted down from 900 I swing myself over to the  pot :P and announce that I'm hungry to Peggy. She comes, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and  brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who's squirted some toothpaste for me. 
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
