Tuesday Post 615

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4211 steps (ooh, I'm over 4000 steps; that doesn't happen very often!); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'God Cares For You'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Show Your Appreciation' 'The Hope Jesus Brings'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:25am 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* Actually, nature already called once just before midnight; after one pot :P trip I'd just crawled back into bed when either parent went THUMP! upstairs! Luckily, I'd just relieved myself otherwise I'd have been really grumpy @ being denied an awesome sleep. >< XD
• Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, nature calling once 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'd totally ignored my poor foot last night. Doesn't matter:  Era rubbed Elf's ankle for fifteen minutes last night and let her wear her sock to sleep although obviously peeled it off her first thing this morning! XD
• Once PIG mum let Peggy inside @ 9:30am, Peggy knocked and opened the door before announcing "Good morning." When Daddy Bear nods good morning back @ her, Peggy next states, "Fifteen more minutes." Daddy Bear nods once more that flicks his paw   'shoo' @ her. Peggy just smirks with laughter and wisely withdraws, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum.  XD
• Once I've counted 900 seconds, I give Peggy thirty more seconds leeway before grousing "Peggy, I'm hungry!" and swinging myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle. Turns out Peggy was already waiting outside my room; she immediately comes inside and we get me kitted.
• While Peggy gets me some breakfast ready, I brush teeth (thanks to Peggy who's already squirted me some toothpaste), sit over the loo then wash and dry Era before heading out to the gobbling :P table with Peggy, who tells me that she had her usual two fried eggs for breakfast this morning.
• For breakfast, I only get two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread with   avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt cut into four squares, 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, Peggy slathers my face and both arms with sunscreen then accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast things 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 Auto (pronounced Alto) and Peggy tootles me off to Breathe for physio. You're allowed to park after the first three spaces; unsure why Peggy always parks @ the very end where the disabled spot   is? I thought the disabled spots were closer to the entrance but that one's the furthest away! Doesn't matter~
• Physio today: .783km bike ride, forty v-bar cable rows for both   hands, forty bar-assisted pushups, forty steps for Erf with left weight shift, forty steps for Elf, forty leg extensions for Elf. forty leg curls for Elf, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing! Biggest   surprise:   after half a DECADE, Breathe's relocating to Macgregor! Winnie says rent here keeps rising and their new place will be both home and work!
• After one loo trip (CZ259 opens the female bathroom, and the second cubicle has an ambulant rail) Peggy tootled me off to the Baskin Robbins @ Calamvale   Central to redeem my free ice cream! :D
• But I left without. ><  Sth wrong with the sign-in? Peggy assures me PIG mum will help me sort that out though and she'll take me again next week~
• Back home, I showered my quickest - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed   and rekitted, lunch was my delicious crunchy pork salad roll and one odd-tasting mug of herbal tea from T2.
• At 2pm, I signed Peggy off with my thanks and byes. She's back same time next week.
• Lunch   finished, I used the loo for one tinkle then plopped online and did my daily Bible readings. Unsure where the pen's gone?  Hopefully PIG mum'll bring one back~
• Once I've used up the most important hours of the day, I'll use the loo for one tinkle then sit @ the gobbling :P table for arvo  tea; hopefully dad remembers to gimme some rice!
• Jacinta's taking me to Toastmasters tonight! An UnHappy Meal with an orange juice for dinner. *sigh*
• Toms:  Presuming PIG mum'll help me up and take me grocery shopping somewhere before coming home for lunch with dearest dad.
• Jane's coming @ 1:30pm and taking me to table tennis! Must remember to ask PIG mum will she make a birthday cake for me tonight/next week.
• Only I can't attend GG neither toms night nor next Wednesday; PIG mum's decided dad's too   tired to drive me and I can't source a ride but Pastor Peter Pie says don't join through Zoom?
• Oh, but I'll haveta  create GCCW homework!
• Anyways, hope everyone's had a smashing start to their week!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 615c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3620. Ha, I'm over 3.5 grand.  XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I started composing the Facebook post about my upcoming MRI next Monday and sharing Facebook memories.
• 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: Peggy's coming @ 9:30am and taking me to Breathe for physio.
• Why I'm excited: PIG mum says we can go to the Baskin And Robbins @ Calamvale Central to get my free birthday ice cream!! <3
• Will haveta ask PIG mum may I return to Pinelands Bakehouse to buy my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi and buy groceries for her from Coles?
• After Peggy leaves, I've gotta read the daily Bible verses for tomorrow.
• Have just reminded PIG mum to please gimme some rice for arvo  tea toms; PIG mum can't since she's hitting the city to catchup with her friend who's visiting from HK! Will ask dad, then~
• Jacinta's taking me to Toastmasters toms night!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em.   ^^

Monday Post 615b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3416 (so hopefully I'll   have reached 3.5 grand before the night's out) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Remain In The Vine'. Righteo, continuing today's events?

• Breakfast is one/two (prolly one) dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P, 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 PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles me off to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture.
• After using the loo for one tinkle, I lie down for treatment.  PIG mum's in her element yapping unceasingly @ Ray; my grateful thanks to him for always replying and keeping a conversation flowing. Today, she was excited enough to repeat one syllable five times before continuing. XD Me, I enjoyed the shoulder CPR the most~
• After another tinkle, PIG mum tootled me back to the Warrigal Square Woolies and we bought groceries before returning home to lunch with dearest dad.
• Lunch was only one slice of oven-baked pizza, but dad also fed me one spinach and feta pastry: delicious! PIG mum only had one slice before leaving for her aqua aerobics class since apparently, it's not good to go swimming on a full stomach? Once she left, dad and I held a group  Whatsapp video chat with his sisters!
• At 2pm, I excused myself, used the loo for one tinkle 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.
• PIG mum arrived home and shortly afterwards, Liam arrived to give Ela an OT session. He only comes once a month to check my progress; usually Ela does exercises with Ari and then I cook with Dorrie every other week.
• I thought Jacinta was minding me today but Jessyca from Staffing Options came instead! I sent a quick text to Jacinta asking her was she okay?
• Whoops outta time so just super-briefly:   showered, had arvo  tea, read for one hour, watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 46TH time (all the things I like recording are @ the bottom of the previous post), used loo for one tinkle, had dinner, drank soup, took bowl to kitchen and returned online.
• Used loo for one more tinkle when nature suddenly called @ 8:15pm.
• 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 toms else wishing everyone a smashing Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
