Sunday Post 330c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2606. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

  • Back home I used the loo for one tinkle then sat   to  munch arvo  tea (my honey chicken  sushi roll plus one huge mug of fruit tea) and read for two more hours, since it's only  Thursday that I can  spend a   blessed three hours reading~  This arvo I reached pg. 444 @ 4:26pm, finished arvo   tea @ exactly  4:30pm, reached pg.  459  @ 4:38pm and FINISHED THE BOOK @ 3:52pm! EVERYTHING was finished @ 3:54pm and after one tinkle I immediately continued with the Matthew Reilly book Georgia had kindly got for me! I reached page  twenty-five @  exactly 4:30pm!
  • Reading finished, I used the loo for  one  tinkle then plopped online and read today's Bible  verses. After one more tinkle I plopped online for myself.
  • Happily   watched the 6pm   news bulletin (Nine's)  for the 169TH time). All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of today's first post.
  • Only  twenty minutes left,  so just  super-briefly:
  • used loo, had dinner, drank   tea, took cup  to sink, returned online, rang Aunty Lai then  used the loo for one more tinkle afterwards.
  • Toms: just church, definitely nothing  special. Would love lunch out with other ESS peers afterwards but expecting just   a cheeseburger with fad @ Hungry Jack's then a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum. *sigh*
  • Anyways,  looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 330b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2545 (See? Told you I'd crack  2.5 grand! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Walk Through It'. Righteo, continuing today's events?

  • After counting  down from 900, I announce to  Georgia that I'm hungry and swing myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle. We  get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom  and brush teeth (my last time using my Harry Potter toothpaste; can't  brush my teeth with magic anymore XD), drink one tall cup of water then 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 Georgia. Breakfast is my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry  (unbuttered)  toast very lightly spread with  avocado, 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.
  • While  Georgia closed and locked windows, I used the loo  for one more tinkle, washed and dried Era then climbed into the passenger seat of  Georgia's Echo.
  • Georgina tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace, parks out the front  and grabs a trolley for us.
  • PIG mum only wants a jug of milk today and afterwards I head over to Sushi Creators and grab my honey chicken  sushi  roll before Georgia tootles me home and I  take a nice hot  shower -  hairwash today. Also thanks to Georgia who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing  Era to hold my stupid  right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed  and rekitted, lunch is  one bowl  of rice leftovers (thanks to Georgie who added some  soya sauce for me) and two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful  of  honey. I happily read for another thirty-five minutes, finishing pg. 425 @ 12:44pm.
  • PIG mum gets home just when I'm about to  sit over the loo for two  more tinkles. Georgia tootles me off to  church  to play table tennis with dearest  there; after arrival I  sign  her  off  with my  thanks and byes. She's back next Friday and probably   taking me to  the NAB foor two hours' physio, provided they don't cancel again!
  • Had  great fun playing with  dad  who lemme win again~ Only he SMASHED a ball into my lower lip! ><" XD I told  PIG mum she'd better bok him for  me. XD
    Cheers,
    Em. ^

Saturday Post 330

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2422 steps (so trust I'll have reached 2.5 grand before the day's  out  XD); secondly, John  Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Jesus Keeps His Sheep'; thirdly,  TWFT topic's 'You Need More Of The Holy Spirit (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Serving God, Not Self'  but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 169TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like the  previous two nigh today. Brisbane toms: ts, nature didn't call until  6:30am and after one pot :P trip I  did the two   bed  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*
  • The next  time nature called (around one hour later), after another  pot :P trip 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*
  • PIG mum beginning her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs wakes me for one more pot :P trip. Soon, she's  let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going  back outside and awaiting Georgia's arrival. 
  • After PIG mum lets Georgia inside, she instructs her to gimme fifteen more minutes.  Daddy  Bear acknowledges with a paw nod before imperiously waving her away. XD
  • Cheers,
    Em. ^^
    P.S.

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. ^^

Friday Post 330b

 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.
