Friday Post 330c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 4570. Ha,  I'm just over 4.5  grand; that's even less common than four grand! XD Anyways, final, final  events for  tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I started reading  and sharing my Facebook memories.
• At 9pm, I  walked  myself  once more 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.
• Toms:  Georgia's back minding me from 9:30am till  1pm, if  I've not scared her away.   XD Presuming  we'll buy my honey  chicken  sushi    roll from  Underwood MarketPlace plus any groceries PIG mum  wants from  Woolies before  coming home for  a shower and lunch. Fingers crossed Georgia will gimme three big mugs of white tea with  sweetener!
• She'll drop me off @ church to play table tennis with dearest dad before leaving  @ 1pm;  after getting home I'm planning  to read all arvo since it's only Saturdays that I  can spend a blessed three hours reading. Oh, will ask Georgia to please find me a new  book  to read for toms arvo; surely I'll finish the Carmody one toms??
• Maybe I'll watch  the  6pm  news bulletin  for the 169TH time but only if  dad waits for me  to eat  dinner! Otherwise I'll skip the  news to have dinner with him~
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing  week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Heylo again  and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 4496 (so will  definitely pass 4.5 grand before   the night's out, sweet XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "Recognise Your Shepherd's Voice". Righteo, continuing events for Friday?

• For breakfast I munch one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with  avocado and for some reason  the PLATE (not the toast) very lightly sprinkled with salt (no worries, I just  lick the plate clean afterwards XD), one full mug of  water, all my usual  drugs :P and 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*
• After breakfast I  ask Georgia please to gimme sun  sunscreen (face and both  hands)  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 backseat of Georgia's car and she tootles me off to Calamvale Central to get a haircut and buy groceries from Woolies. Thanks to her who kindly helped me with my seatbelt all day and phew, this time there was a disabled park available on arrival.
• Didn't haveta wait for my  haircut - and duk'm'duk  was my hairdresser!  I have awful facial recognition so didn't know  'twas her but after the haircut finished she asked me, duk mmm duk and I  was like,  ohh, you!! XD I like haircuts here because it's the only time I'm instructed to look down; usually PIG mum just  screeches @ me to look up! 
• Georgia brings a trolley  and we hike to the end and buy groceries for PIG mum. On the way back to the carpark I use the loo for one tinkle since we're headed to Underwood Park next and I'm unsure are there any toilets there.
• At Underwood Lake I take a hike around the path and enjoy a lie-down in the sunlounge. I tell Geoorgia to  lie down on  your own sunlounge but she says nah and just sits cross-legged on  the low stone wall behind me and we chat. Pity we didn't see any turtles today  but Gimpy the water dragon appeared; he's so named since he's lost the tip  of his tail! o_O
• When Georgia drove me home, PIG mum rang when we'd just entered Allan Cresc., demanding where are you?! You've got  OT @ 2pm, once Georgia leaves! I reply relax we've just turned  into   Yvonne Rd.
• So a nice hot quickest shower for  me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Georgia 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 tomato and onion toastie with only one slice of cheese and one huge mug of herbal  tea.
• At 1:55am I sat over the loo  once more for  two tinkles then sat while PIG mum signed Georgia off (she's back 9:30am toms)  and let Ari inside.
  Ela did one hour of unfunctional exercises with   Era and then Era practised some handwriting by  writing out the recipe we're gonna cook  next  Friday! I told Ari I'd need line paper to write straight and she drew lines for me!
• When Ari left I used the loo   for one tinkle then  sat down to have arvo tea (one plain cracker, one gloopy mouthful  of delicious passionfruit and another huge mug of  herbal tea) and read the Carmody novel  for one hour. Today I reached pg. 375 @ 4:21pm and finished arvo  tea @ 3:43pm.
• Used loo for one tinkle, did my  daily Bible reading, plopped online for myself and watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 168TH time. All  the things I like recording are @ the bottom of the previous post. PIG mum got  dad to have dinner with  her but  without me @ 6:10pm. *sigh*
• Receiving permission to come to dinner once the news ends, 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 yummy  wombok, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup  potato, lotsa soup  onion anda little of PIG mum's salty meat brisket. Since the parents were already relaxing on the sofa watching YouTube, I  allowed Ela to rest in  my lap and both legs up onto  the foot rest and stuffed the  teatowel Peggy  uses for me  when I'm  eating my Tuesday bahn mi and enjoyed not having to  lean forward when I eat.
• Dinner was washed down  with a third mug of herbal tea;  after taking the cup over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Righteo, hopefully bbl   after  one last 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 weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 330

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4326 steps (sweet I'm over four grand; that that doesn't happen very often!); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'How To Defy Sinful  Desire'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'You Need More Of The Holy Spirit (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Anchored In  God' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still  owed FIFTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 168TH time!! Anyways, events for  today?

• Yay,  what better way to end the working week than with my second awesome consecutive sleep last night? Like  yesterday, nature didn't call until 6:30am, and after  one pot  :P  trip I immediately did the 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 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 the new carer's (Georgia's) arrival.
• After she arrives and PIG mum instructs her to  gimme fifteen more minutes I'm  counting  down from 900 when suddenly the phone  starts ringing! I call "Phone!" and pray that it's UQ ringing no physio; when  PIG mum enters my room to pickup the phone  she mutters "It'd better not be the NAB ringing to cancel your appointment" but hallelujah, it was! :D XD
• When  Georgia returns she tried to get me up, but  since she doesn't touch me and only  uses words I  just ignore her. XD When  she returns with PIG mum and I get poked in the face, I've gotta get up. XD In  her defence, she caressed my face, not poked.  XD
• I use the pot :P  for one more tinkle and introduce myself to Georgia. Wow, she's only twenty-one and I'm her first ever client for CODA!! I feel privileged that Michelle trusts me to be a compliant client for  her very first shift. XD
• We get me  kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush  teeth  before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Georgia, who tells me that she had three Weet-Bix for breakfast. Just like me, she's a Weet-Bix kid!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. All the interesting  surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's, read by Melissa Downes and Joel Dry) for the168TH time: Perrett, Trump  (heard), Millward, Herrero, Croucher, Albanese (heard), McGoverne, Frecklington, Griffith (heard), Ha-teya (first name), Conroy, Burnham (heard), Gripske, Purdie, Pointing, Marles, Jamieson (first  name), Greer, Chalmers (heard), Wilson, Greenslade, Rinehart (heard), Hodge (heard), Kennedy (heard), Marcolina, Godfrey, Herbert (heard), McCrae, Hannay,  Jenkins (heard), Bellamy (heard), Leidwanger, Munster (heard), Walters, Haas, Munster (heard), Maguire, Payten, Dearden (heard), Purdue (heard), Clifford (heard), Fox, Makenna (first name), Baily Farage, Angwin, Sinclair, Monika (first name), Kalkar, Wheeler, Armstrong, Issacs, Singh (heard), Pullar, Speer (heard), Martin, Mimi (first  name), Becker, Sheehy, Thomas (heard), Tadros, Hughes, Balme, Volpato and Kohler.

 Good evening again and one final  greeting  for tonight! Em's final, final plodding  total for Thursday now stands @ 2010.  Ha, I'm just over two  grand.  XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• 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. 
• Tonight's ice cream night, yay! Like I  say every week, a very little's better than none @ all~

• Once  the news ended I called out and asked the parents to  please summon me over for dinner once it's ready. When dad immediately   replied come, 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: rice, lotsa yummy wombok, lotsa soup  carrot, lotsa soup  tomato, lotsa soup onion and a little yummy salty  steamed meat brisket.
• 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.

• Suddenly I remembered that I'd forgotten to read for five more minutes after dinner and returned to do that! See, I like reading for one hour everyday when possible~
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip  @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening Friday else wishing everyone a smashing end to  the week toms!

Thursday Post 330

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1655 steps (ha, I'm over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Preach To Yourself'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Step Out And Do It!' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Prepared To Help'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until  6:30am, 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 again for the pot :P when 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 and give por Elf  a  very brief rub, since she'd totally ignored my poor  foot last night. Actually, she'd hit me with  the eye goo last night then left me to get myself to bed; since dearest dad had already headed  upstairs also, I scooted the kitchen chair to the  fridge and got the milk, scooted to the benchtop and poured myself one mouthful, scooted back to  the fridge to replace the milk  then scooted back  to the dining table and left the chair in it's original position. XD Yay also that Elf wore her sock  to sleep last night although obviously Era peeled the sock off first thing this morning! XD
• When Morine hadn't arrived @ 8:01pm, PIG mum opened the bedroom door and snapped @ me, "She's not here Fifteen more minutes."  I immediately complying, asking  PIG mum please  to ring CODA on-call should she not have arrived by 8:10am.
• Phew she arrives shortly afterwards and PIG mum instructs her to  help me up @ 8:15am.
• When Morine taps me @ 8:15am, I sit up, say good morning  and use the pot :P for three more tinkles. Sure enough, she'd been stuck in traffic this morning.
• We get me kitted, I head over to  the bathroom and brush teeth before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and dry 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  dry (unbuttered) toast very  thinly spread with avocado and hopefully very thinly sprinkled with salt, one full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and another mug of Milo. Thanks to Morine who turns on Sunrise for my viewing pleasure~  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 finishing breakfast, I ask Morine please to gimme (both hands, face and neck) some sunscreen then she walks behind me back to the bathroom then returns to the kitchen  and washes the breakfast stuff 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 Morine's  car (what luxury! Last night I enjoyed a ride in a BMW that had a SEAT WARMER and today I got a ride in Morine's Lexus! :D) and she tootles me off to GGCW! She kinda gets lost and doesn't park outside the library, meaning it's a longer than usual  hike for me, hence why I skip the initial bathroom  visit since I'm already ten minutes late but the meeting doesn't start until after I arrived and Nancy still  arrives LATER than me! XD
• Nine attended today, Tammy helped me once to   the bathroom @ morning tea time and Merlyn brought tiramisu CAKE and I even got seconds! :D Actually I even had 3rds and 4ths since she left me the last two slices and I  said I'd share one with Morine but Morine said nah you enjoy I've already eaten! There's three weeks until the  next meeting and homework's A face in the mirror.
• The meeting ended ten minutes early but since Morine and I stayed behind for cake and I used the loo once more before leaving I showered half-fast  after arriving home since Morine was leaving  @ 1:30pm.  Also, I bumped into Sarah Shakibaie (sp?) She was walking with one bub (maybe preschool-age?) and pushing another in a baby stroller but  said "Hi, Em!" when I  walked towards her (at the returns machine of the library). I've got awful facial recognition but phew, identified her.  XD
• Showered half-fast after arriving home - hairwash today. Also thanks to Morine who helped 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 plus one huge mug of powdered HK-style milk tea.  Alas that today marks one whole WEEK since I last enjoyed a proper meal out  but fingers crossed another comes soon!
• Only thirty minutes left, so just  briefly: took cup to sink, used loo for one tinkle, washed and dried  Era then read my daily Bible passages before popping online.
• Tonight's ice cream night, yay! Like I say every week,  a very little's better than none  @ all!
• Toms:  TBA which carer's helping me up  then taking me to the NAB for  two hours' physio with Vincent but I've emailed Michelle and hopefully  she'll  reply soon.
• That  carer will see me home, showered and fed with lunch  before Ari comes to give Ela one hour of  unfunctional exercises @ like 2:30pm. 
• Don't think I've got anything happening after she leaves; looking forward to reading the Carmody book for another hour then watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 168TH time, provided I  can  watch it for the 167TH time tonight!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing end to  the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 330c

 Good  evening and  one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total  for  Wednesday now stands @ 3734 and secondly, Joni's devotional  topic's 'The Business Of Doing  The  Impossible' but thirdly  and way most importantly, I'll really  still be owed ONE HOUR and SIX MINUTES online should PIG mum really boot me  off to bed @ 9:45pm!! >< But just noting down that PIG mum and I went to Underwood Marketplace and bought knickers from KMart and groceries from  Coles before Lana took me to table tennis -  for the first time in one MONTH there was CAKE and there'll be cake next week too! :D I thought Lana was in her seventies/eighties but she's not  even  sixty yet! But she left @ 6:01pm  after I'd showered and she'd cleaned the bathroom, even though her shift doesn't  finish till 6:30pm. Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 166TH time, wolfed down dinner @ 6:30pm, sat over the loo for two more tinkles @ 7pm  and Jenny gave me a lift to GG @ 7:15pm! Have finished that little booklet; we're now studying sth with Canva and today's title was You're Married To Christ. Toms I've forgotten who's taking me to  GCCW  but don't have anything happening afterwards. Hope everyone's having a smashing  week!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
