 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total  now stands @ 3539. Ha,  I'm just over 3.5 grand. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was one deliciously juicy pear, one plain cracker and three cheers for Jacinta who found where sneaky PIG mum hid the honey   and made me TWO big delicious mugs sweetened with one spoonful of honey!
  • I read for exactly one hour, reaching page fifty @ 5:44pm while Jacinta massaged Ela.
  • At 5:55pm I sat over the loo for  two more tinkles then signed Jacinta off with my thanks and byes; she's back same time next Monday meaning I've gotta check the roster and figure out who's coming Saturday.
  • Happily watched the 6pm  news  bulletin (Nine's) for  the 157TH time.All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine’s, read by Joel Dry) for the 157TH time: Heagney, Crisafulli, Goldsworthy, Millward, Probyn, Albanese, Marles, Mac Governe, Minogue (heard), Jagger  (heard), Plibersek, Hughes, Heagney, Butler, Netanyahu, Murphy, Zeeshan, Ryan, Good, Zuckerburg, Trump, Godfrey,  Foster, Rooney, Sabalenka, Osaka, Barnett, Strange (heard),Munster (heard), White, Rugg, Lumsden (heard), Piastri, Antonelli (heard), Djokovich, Rigg, Lqmbe, Hodgkinson, Campbell, Thurston, Collins, Zahos, Robb, Ritchie, Ward, Djodan (heard),Molineaux, Mooney (heard), Pogocar, Plath, Flannery and Youngberry.

Brisbane toms: 12-22. Mt. Gravatt toms: 10-21. Sunrise: 6:38am  Sunset 5:08pm
  • When PIG mum summons me  over  for dinner @ 7:42pm, I use the loo   for one tinkle then walk myself slowly and safely to the gobblingf :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Less than fifteen minutes  left,  so just super-briefly: 
  • Had dinner, drank   sooup, took bowl to sink, returned online and used loo for one more  tinkle @ 9:45pm.

She'll see me home and showered before leaving.
  • Me, I've gotta remember to finish composing homework for GCCW after reading tomorrow's Bible passages; hope there's tim,e for me to enjoy my most important two hours of the day online!

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3474 (so should have reached 3.5 grand before tonight ends, yay) but secondly and way more  importantly, I'm really  still  owed FORTY-ONE MINUTES online after I use the loo  once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, continuing events for today?

  • Lunch  was washed down with a beautiful mug of Chinese tea; after taking the bowl to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely 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 more tinkles then sit by the front door awaiting Jacinta's arrival. She arrives promptly, phew.
  • Jacinta tootles me  off to  Breathe for physio, explaining that she'd had  a bad cold. The poor thing; she's still coughing~
  • After arriving early we've both  got ten minutes to poke   @ our phones before Jacinta droops me off by the front door for Winnie.
  • Physio today: 1.666km bike ride, forty bar-assissted push ups with left weight shift, forty steps for Erf with more left weight shift, forty steps for Erf, forty v-bar cable rows for both hands, forty leg curls for Elf, forty leg extensions for Elf, forty leg curls for Elf, forty leg curls for Erf, forty leg curls for Erf  and boxing!
  • After one bathroom trip Winnie hands me back to Jacinta and she tootles us off to  Sunny Park to buy groceries. Turns out PIG mum only wants a jug of milk  and there's enough  change for a soft serve afterwards, yay!
  • Back home I take a nnice hot shower  - hairwash today. Also thanks to Jacinta who helps me rinse out my  hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3399 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Small Faith' but thirdly   and way most importantly, I'm really still  owed  online after dinner tonight!! Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

  • After breakfast, I walk myself slowly  and safely hack to  the loo, 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 buckle my seatbelt, since it's movie time!
  • Dad tootles  us off to The Garbo  cinemas and  parks somewhere; unsure he won't lemme use the lift  but demanded that I catch the escalator up? Funniest thing was that we'd arrived that early the cinemas hadn't even opened yet! XD 
  • Once the cinemas were finally open, we headed in, lined up, ordered food from  the snack bar then headed in! Wasn't impressed that I needed to hike NINE steps to reach my seat, but  hey.
  •  Then hey, oh, the luxury! Most surprisingly there weren't  any ads and the movie started immediately!
  • AWESOME MOVIE! Lol I'm behind with my blogging: last year I didn't write my first twenty years post about our moving into our  current ugly  house nor did I compose one about last  year marking fifteen  years since my most  beloved maternal  grandmother moved up to  heaven to live with God forever but after doing them I'm gonna haveta pen a post for this movie: 'twas AWESOME!  Must ask Bing what that cute green blobby monster was plus that orange slimy thing was but phew, they weren't scary @ all. My favourite part was when the movie Minion accepted his Oscar (appropriately a golden banana XD) and he said xie xie; see, Minions speak Chinese too!! XD
  • Dad tootled us home for an early lunch: just half the leftover slider that dad had ordered for us and we'd eaten one each  already! PIG mum  had the other half~

Monday Post 330

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2020 steps (ha, I';m just over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Give God Your Revenge'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Have You Prayed  About It?' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Thriving In God's Presence" but fifthly  and way most importantly, I'm still owed ONE HOUR and ELEVEN MINUTES online after Jacinta takes me tom physio, buys groceries with me, sees me home and showered then leaves @ 6pm while I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 157TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  •  Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:50am 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*
  • Very shortly after that, PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs and very 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'd totally ignored my poor  foot last night. That's alright, Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes and allowed her to wear her sock to sleep  last night but obviously tugged the sock off first thing this morning! XD
  • After PIG mum helps me exceedingly slightly  with absolutely nothing bar  the bra strap and laying out the tee and jumper,  she leaves me  to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into the tops then giving  myself fifteen more minutes first.
  • PIG mum  returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom  and brush teeth. Right now, my teeth  are sparkly clean since I'm brushing with  the MAGIC of Harry Potter toothpaste! :D XD
  • Teeth brushed,  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 is one more of those weird-tasting buns that I helped mother make recently! I also pop all  my usual drugs :P and drink one tall  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* Yay also that PIG mum kindly turns on Sunrise for my viewing pleasure; I'm rarely awake early enough to watch it!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

  • At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Toms: not seeing Ray toms for acupuncture since he's taken his family holidaying interstate! 
  • Instead, since Donna Bella Baker's not  free, PIG mum's got dearest dad to take me to see the newest MINIONS movie in GOLD CLASS!! *explodes with excitement*

  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2046  (ha, I'm just over two grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Widow Of Zarephath' but  thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWELVE MINUTES online after I  use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

  • After watching the 6pm news and using the loo for one more tinkle, I climbed  into the backseat of the Chery. Thanks  to PIG mum who kindly  helped me with my seatbelt both  ways this time, since I've got seriously sh*tty night vision  post brain injury. *sigh* 
  • Like previous Sundays, we had dinner @ Ho Lin  Wah but the difference was that  Aunty A joined us, and she'd even arrived FIRST! *faints* XD
  • Tonight dad ordered two 'A' meals (stir fry Hokkien noodles with beef), some fried rice and one plate of  deep-fried cuttlefish balls.  I ate  just over half a bowl oof noodles, almost (but not quite) one bowl of rice and gobbled one yummy cuttlefish ball.  Oh, I drank one  cup of Chinese tea, half the set soup and just over one mouthful of the HK-style milk tea. Highlight of my  week: enjoying a cold HK-style milk tea ALL TO MYSELF for lunch today and enjoying one more mouthful  tonight!
  • Back home, I walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Righteo, hopefully brb  after one last looo trip  @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for the day, the final, final events for tonight  plus what's happening yoms, else hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1570 steps (ha, I'm just over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'When Will I Be Satisfied?'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'How To Have A Good Day'  and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Lavish Love' but fifthly and way most  importantly I'm  really still owed TWENTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after I shower!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:50am and after one pot :P trip I immediately try fall back asleep since I'm sure PIG mum'll get really noisy very soon! 
  • 100/150 breaths in (I'm nearly asleep again), noisy PIG mum goes THUMP and  I realise falling back asleep's not gonna happen; instead 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*

  • PIG mum  returns to finish with absolutely nothing  bar  Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, 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.
  • For breakfast, I munch one of  the buns I'd helped PIG mum  make yesterday! I also pop all my usual drugs :P  and drain 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?

See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 
  • After washing and drying Era I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car  and buckle my own seatbelt. She gets in, tootles us off to church and parks outside our service hall. I hike up the ramp, use the first  cubicle of the normal ladies  loo for one tinkle (the disabled loo had lid closed but  horrid  PIG mum wouldn't lift it for me), wash and dry both hands then grab my usual spot inside the service hall @ the most left.
  • Yay, I  get to stay seated for worship  today. I sing everything,  plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*

  • Speaker today's Pastor Peter Pie who starts a new sermon  series called How People Change and service ended  service ended nine minutes early today.
  • After PIG mum collected me, I used the loo again, washed and dried both hands then hiked around to the back for arvo tea, where dearest dad  already had a  packet of bikkies and a paper  cup of white tea ready for me.
  • Uncle Simon wandered over for a chat; I screeched @ him how could the first penalty kicker just MISS the goal like that? Sure I played a right defensive back and can't aim for nuts but @ least I'd aim  the ball @ the massive goal! Uncle Simon explained that  the poor player was already exhausted after playing ninety minutes, extra time plus that extra block of extra time. Well, fair enough.
  • It's been two MONTHS; I  FINALLY enjoyed lunch out with my ESS peers today! Pastor Peter  Pie gave me a lift to  Mui  G and I ordered the crispy chicken rice with a fresh HK-style milk tea ... so good!! <3  :D Over lunch I chatted with Jodie and Elena; whoops I originally called her doctor Esther!! >< XD
  • Jodie tootled me home, telling me that she's just arrived home from a trip down too  Tasmania with Ella's family!  Wow I can't believe that they dared go during Winter; the parents and I went in Summer and were laughed @ for being Eskimos since wee  were all rugged up! XD
  • Back home, I used the loo for  one tinkle, washed and dried Era then walked myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

  • After reading the day's Bible passages I headed over to the gobbling :P table for arvo tea (one yummy banana that I peeled myself, one plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea) but  returned online  afterwards since I couldn't see a book near me around for reading.
  • When nature called I walked myself once more  slowly and safely  to the looo for one tinkle and back, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

  • Toms: not seeing  Ray for some acupuncture and massage since he's holidaying interstate with his family! Instead, hoping the parents'll take me  to see the new MINIONS movie in  GOLD CLASS before we grab lunch somewhere!
  • Jacinta's coming @ 2pm and taking me to Breathe for physio.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
