Friday Post 326

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2602 steps (ha, I'm over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Worship In A Lightning Storm'; thirdly,   TWFT topic's 'The Blessing Of Obedience' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Seeking God's Kingdom". Anyways, events for today?

  • Woo hoo, 8th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until the noisy garbage truck THUNDERED down our road to  start    tipping bins @ 6:40am this morning 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* Back in bed I realised that my monthlies had arrived and reminded myself to let PIG mum know immediately when she entered my room around 7:45am.
  • Sure enough, I'm wakened for the pot :P again one hour later when PIG  mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Once she lets herself into my room (the parents never knock), I immediately tell her that my monthlies have arrived, hence why she helps me stick a pad into my knickers before hitting me with the eye goo.
  • Once PIG mum opens the door for Jane @ 8am, she knocks, opens the door and says  "Good morning Em; fifteen more minutes." Daddy Bear gives one paw flop in acknowledgement of her statement and just like that she's gone, denying him the  chance to imperiously flick his paw 'shoo!' @ her. XD
  • When Jane returns and taps me up, I use the pot :P once for three more tinkles,  we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth before sitting over the loo for one more 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's one bowl of Weet-Bix porridge with 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 tall cup of water. Amazingly, PIG mum tturned Sunrise on for my viewing pleasure (since Jane was here) 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  asked Jane to please gimme (my  face, neck, throat and both  hands) some sunscreen then she walked behind me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast dishes 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 oof Sally and Jane tootles me  off to  the NAB for two hours of physio with Chan. Thanks to her who kindly helped me buckle my  seatbelt both ways.
  • Physio today: Explore gym: five minutes recumbent exercise bike, six minutes treadmill, single cable rows for Era, leg press 6kg,, body blade and step overs for Elf Recumbent exercise bikes have backrests! I sincerely thanked the Scottish lady for giving me Tuesday off and she said don't worry; Billy's having Friday off too! XD
  • After I sat over the loo for two more tinkles Jane tootled me home and I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Jane who helped me rinse out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekittted, lunch was almost (but not quite) one bowl of the delicious tuna and pasta bake I'd cooked with Ari yesterday plus my first ever cup of Ceylon tea; I'm a fan!
  • At 1:55pm I sat once more over the loo for two tinkles while PIG mum signed Jane off and immediately shooed her away. She's back next Wednesday for table tennis.
  • Did my daily Bible readings and plopped online.
  • Toms: Jacinta's minding me from 9:30am till 1pm; presuming we're getting my once-weekly honey chicken sushi roll from TThe Sushi Creators plus any groceries PIG mum may want from Woolies.
  • Looking forward to my three big mugs of white tea with sweetener and I'm planning to read the new book club novel for three hours!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead! Cheers, Em. ^^

Thursday Post 326c

 Good  evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3320 (forgive me  for not being bothered to  get up and plod thirteen more steps to make that 3333 XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'What Are You Doing Here?'' Anyways, final, final events for  tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post I continued reading and sharing my Facebook memories.
  • 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.
  • It's ice cream night tonight; like I always say, a very little's better  than none @ all!
  • Toms: Jane's coming @ 8am, helping me up then taking me  to the NAB for two hours of physio with Chan. 
  • After Jane sees me home, showered, fed with lunch and leaves @ 2pm, I'm free for the rest of the  day since the OT already  came today! Looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online, must remember to ask Jane toms morning to please find me a new book to  read for toms arvo, hoping  to read for one hour then hoping to watch the  6pm news bulletin for the 179TH time!
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing end to the week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Thursday Post 326b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3275 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's ... lol, it's not arrived  yet? Righteo, continuing today's events?

  •   Breakfast finished, I summon Louiza back too please gimme (my face, neck, throat and both hands) some sunscreen before 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 Louiza's housemate's light green car, she kindly  helps me buckle my seatbelt (as she does both  ways) and then she tootles  me off to Underwood Lake for my hike around the lake with Pole, stopping first @ the drive-thru Zaraffa's and grabbing herself breakfast. Pity she wouldn't grab any second breakfast for me.  XD
  • Pole was already  there when we arrived; turns out she lives within walking distance! She walked with me, Louiza walked behind  me and we took a hike around the lake (my 10th for the year), stopping for a quick lie-down and photo on the sunlounges and another seat and photo on the seats with backrests along the boardwalk.
  • Turns out the big square bench has been removed and only the single row bench remains! We sat on that and shared the little carton of Hello Panda bikkies that I bought  recently with PIG mum.
  • Returning to Louiza's car I hugged Pole bye and Louiza tootled me home for 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 shutt.
  • Dried, cream and rekitted, lunch was a n unbuttered tuna in tomato and onion toastie with only one slice of cheese and one powdered mug of HK-style milk  tea. Louiza cleaned the bathroom then got me to sign her off three minutes early; turns out that she arrived two minutes late today.
  • Lunch finished, I took the plate over to the sink, used the loo for one tinkle then plopped online and started reading my daily Bible passages.
  • When PIG mum let Ari inside, I used the loo for one more tinkle then  headed over to the kitchen and made a pasta bake with Ari! Photos should be   on Facebook  and I enjoyed one bowl for arvo tea along with one huge mug of some herbal  tea.
  • After using the loo for one tinkle, I plopped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the  178TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of the previous post.
  • When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner @ 7:25pm, 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 cabbage, some yummy tomato mince and like one slice of tasteless soup pork.
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowlful 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.

  • Righteo, hopefully bbl after one last tinkle 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!
    Cheers,
    Em.   ^^

Thursday Post 326

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3175 steps (ha, I'm over three grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily  devotional topic from last night's "The Soul's Final Feast"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Be A Sower' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Look  To God' but fifthly  and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY-TWO MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 178TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 7th consecutive awesome sleep last night! That's the 13TH time this year that I've achieved one consecutive week of  awesome sleeps! :D Like the past three days,  nature didn't call until  8am and after one pot :P trip and doing the bed exercises Winnie taught me tto  prevent further back pain, 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 once more for the pot :P around 9am, shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Louiza's arrival @ 9:30am.
  • Once PIG mum lets Louiza into the house, Louiza knocks, opens the door and says  "Hi Em, I'll help you up in fifteen, okay?" Daddy Bear gives one paw nod then imperiously flicks his paw 'shoo' @ Louiza, who smirks but wisely does as she's told, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
  • When Louiza returns and taps me, I grumble "Go away; we're sleeping."  She protests "But it's been fifteen minutes!" I retort "You didn't specify fifteen more minutes. You just  said fifteen; I'm taking that to mean fifteen more hours. Git." Louiza bursts into laughter, pats the covers and says get up again, to which I comply this time. XD
  • I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, 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 Louiza, rousing @ her for not having any breakfast this morning.
  • Me, for breakfast I get 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. 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*
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 326b

 Heylo again and good evening! Take two: firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2295 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Only Enduring  Happiness'; thirdly,   TWFT topic's "God's Putting The Pieces Together"; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Eternity With God'; fifthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Eternity With God' and sixthly, Joni's devotional topic's "What  Are You Doing Here?" but seventhly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 8am (just like the last  two/three days) 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* But my hugest relief was that  upon waking this morning, the DOMS had finally left, phew! 
  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking around 9am for another pot :P  trip. After  that, I call good morning to PIG mum upstairs and remind her please to help me up  soon,  since I  don't wanna be back in my  bedroom before twelve hours have  passed, else I'll feel I've wasted the whole day! >< *sigh*
  • Still,  PIG mum takes her time doing things, meaning I don't  let her  gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush  teeth until nearly 9:50am. *sigh* Never mind, will hopefully have a superlong video chat with dearest dad tonight and renter the bedroom after 9:50pm~
  • After brushing teeth 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 was one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with  avocado and for some  reason the PLATE (not the toast) spread with salt (no problems, I just lick the plate clean afterwards XD), 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 walk  myself slowly and safely back to the toilet, 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 PIG mum tootles us off to the Warrigal Square Woolies to  buy  groceries and OMG today she helps me buckle my seatbelt both ways! *faints* XD
  • Originally all the disabled parks are taken but luckily on  the second trip  one frees up. Didn't bump into Kat today,  although  PIG mum lemme buy a little carton of on  sale Hello Panda bikkies for my catchup with Pole toms!
  • Lunch  back home today was six/eight tiny but delicious steamed/boiled then fried dumplings with literally one drop oof  soya sauce for each dumpling! And OMG I  tried Darjeeling tea for the first time today:  AMAZEBALLS!! 
  • Lunch finished, I took the cup over to the sink then walked myself slowly and safely back 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 tinkles then  sat by the door awaiting Jane's arrival for table tennis.

  • Today I think I played with Jo, Angus and I forgot  the birthday girl's name but she's only thirty-three and not only  was there CAKE, I even got seconds!! :D Oh, her name's Sam~

  • While poor Jane drove through peak-hour traffic I happily played Jewel   Queen. She works @ some SIL but won't say where for her client's privacy? "None of your beeswax!" She retorted and then we both burst out laughing, before I apologised for being nosy. XD

  • Back home I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also  thanks to Jane who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
