Tuesday Post 327b

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1920 steps (so will definitely have cracked two grand before Tuesday ends XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Light Beyond The Light'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Are You Washing Your Nets?' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Fully Dedicated To God' but fifthly and way most importantly, I('m really still owed ONE HOUR and SEVENTEEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 95TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 8th consecutive awesome sleep  lsdt night! Nature had already called once fractionally before midnight and then Daddy Bear and I happily snored until 6:45am before waking again for the pot!
• After the first  daylight 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 once more 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 plus whack a dressing over Elf's ankle before returning outside and awaiting Peggy's arrival @ 9:30am.
• Once PIG mum opens the door for Peggy and lets her inside, Peggy knocks, opens the door and states, "Good morning." When Daddy Bear flops a paw @ her, she next says "Fifteen more minutes." Daddy Bear gives one more paw nod then imperiously flicks his paw @ her "Shoo!" Peggy snorts with amusement but wisely withdraws, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^
  P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news (Seven's, read by Max Futcher and Sarah Greenhalgh) for the 95TH  time:

Monday Post 327c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding for Monday now stands @ 1348. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post I should've continued reading and sharing Facebook memories but instead I played match three games. >< I discovered a really cool new one last night!
• At 9pm I walked myself slowly and safely once more 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:  Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm and PIG mum's sending me to Go Cutt for a cheap haircut; suppose I'm looking shaggy again. XD
• Buying groceries (should PIG mum want any) afterwards from Pinelands plus my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse.
• After Peggy sees me home, showered and fed with lunch before leaving @ 2pm, PIG mum's taking me to APO and Peter's gonna cast me for a new orthotic! Fingers crossed the new one works~
• Don't have any plans for the rest of the day; looking forward to enjoying my most important two hours of the day online, reading The Two Sth Sth (Lost Mountains, maybe?)  for one hour and watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 95TH time!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 327b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 1292 (ha, I'm over one grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "Prone To Wander". Righteo, continuing today's events?

• When Jacinta announced her arrival one minute late today, I walked myself slowly and safely to the front door and let her in, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. Yup, she was one minute late since she was signing in.

• So a nice hot shower for me - hairwash  today. Also thanks to Jacinta who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was some fruit, one plain rice cracker, one packet of Arnott's bikkies and TWO big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of sugar. Happiness was reading for one hour; I FINISHED THE BOOK CLUB NOVEL @ 4:42! Huge thanks to Jane who'd grabbed me Matthew Reilly's The Two Sth Sth;  I continued happily reading that, finishing pg. twenty-five @ 5:28pm. After reading for one hour, I happily played match three games for thirty minutes while Jacinta very gently massaged Ela very gently for nearly (but not quite) one hour.
• At 5:55pm I sat over the loo for two tinkles then signed Jacinta off with my thanks and byes. She's back same time next week.
• Happily watched pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 94TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of the previous post. 
• Dad had told me use the loo once the news finished; I'd been really excited, thinking we were FINALLY eating out but when I asked PIG mum to please come gimme a bra since I can't go out wearing pajamas, she screeched "Why? We're not going out tonight!"  XD
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy cauliflower and some steamed fish.
• 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, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip 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. ^^
  
  
  

Monday Post 327

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding only 784 steps (but will hopefully have cracked 1000 before Monday ends); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Five Digital Dangers'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Worst Failure ... Is Failure To Try and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Anatomy of a Hardening Heart'. Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 7th consecutive awesome sleep last night; that's the 8th time this year I've achieved one consecutive week of awesome sleeps! :D Nature didn't call until 8am 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, nature calling once more just after 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 help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and laying out the tee before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into the tee then giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum returns and finishes with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and  both laces (but she takes long enough that I don't exit the bedroom until 9:50am; will remember to sit for a long while over the loo so I'll not be  back in  bed for another sleep before twelve hours have passed else I'll feel that I've wasted the entire day.) >< *sigh*
• After letting PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush 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 is one bowl of plain porridge, 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 bathroom, 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 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.
• At Ray's, PIG mum's covering us with our Disneyland umbrella when Ray comes out with a MASSIVE one! I squee I wanna  walk inside under his enormous umbrella; Ray laughs and swaps umbrellas with PIG mum. XD
• At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle then lie down for some massage and acupuncture. Elf's calf hurts slightly during the massage but thankfully the neck pain from yesterday has buggered off!
• After another tinkle, PIG mum tootled us home.  Didn't buy groceries today since she needed to get home to let the cleaner in and besides, she left the parking permit @ home.
• Lunch was one bowl of rice leftovers plus one huge mug of herbal tea. 4th Uncle had finished swimming with dad; he and Uncle Cheesecake had already had lunch so while I was having mine dad tootled them out to catch public transport somewhere. Uncle Cheesecake's wife stayed home; she's downstairs now.
• Lunch finished, I used the loo for one more 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.
• Jacinta's minding me from 4-6pm today; fingers crossed she can find where the sneaky parents hid the sweetener! XD
• Looking forward to reading for one hour and fingers crossed I'll watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 94TH time!
• Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:20am till 2pm. PIG mum's sending me   to GoCutt for my cheap haircut; suppose I'm looking shaggy. XD
•  Suppose also we'll buy groceries from Coles Pinelands afterwards plus my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse?
• Nothing happening after Peggy leaves, I don't think. Looking forward to spending my most important two hours of the day online, reading for one hour and watching the 6pm news for the 95TH time!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl,  else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's, read by Sarah Greenhalgh and Max Futcher) for the 94TH time: Hammond, Barrie, Moriarty, Wightman, Plibersek, Barnaby  (first  name), Joyce, Webcke (heard), Albanese, Hawkins,  Keating (heard), Dymock, Kennedy (heard), Nkeita, Sweedman, Burley, Azize, Bleijie, Marlina (first name), Rai, Rahm, Stieler, Jaxson (first name), Abate, Downie, James, Kayleen (first name), Whop,   Walsh (heard), Slater (heard), Tate, Abate, Scott, Volodomyr (first  name, heard), Zelensky (heard), Trump, Dallin (first name),  Galvin, Kroehn, Walker, Flegler (heard), Plath (heard), Raffoul, Alley (first  name), Hammer, Holland, Smalley, Marrkez (heard), Kenny, Bechwati, Burgess, Milton, Keary, Tedesco,  Barclay, Valance (heard), Walker, Langer (heard), Fifita (heard), and Auden.

Sunday Post 327c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2276. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• Thankfully, PIG mum heard the 2nd time, come downstairs and lemme shower. Obviously, I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 15% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
• I had one tinkle before I called PIG mum back; after I tapped the nice hot water off and she dried my back for me I did everything else and she didn't feature again until my bra strap needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
• After drying the loo seat I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, washed and dried Era, stamped both feet dry and 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.
• After doing my weekly file backup, I headed over to the gobbling :P and asked PIG mum to please turn on the TV for me and feed me some arvo tea.
• While munching one yummy banana, one plain cracker and drinking one huge mug of herbal tea I watched the Broncos play the Warriors! At halftime I used the loo for one tinkle and hoped they'd make a comeback since we were losing like 22-0!
• Since the Broncos immediately scored once the second half began I dared to dream we'd score a miraculous comeback but alas, 'twas not to be; twenty-point losers and outta the top eight. >< We're the defending premiers, dammit! *cringe*
• Watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 93RD time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post but unsure where all the numbers (temperatures and times) went?
• For the first time this year, dinner was @ SCSC! Only they're undergoing renovations right now, meaning we didn't haveta  walk  to the back but turned left right after the entrance!
• Dinner today marked ONE WHOLE WEEK since I enjoyed a proper meal out. *sigh* The sweet and sour pork tonight was nice, though~
• Back home, 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.
• At 9pm, I walked myself 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.
• Toms: expect a super-pissy plodding total from me, since after seeing Ray PIG mum hasn't the time to take me grocery shopping and aisle walking since she's gotta open the door for the cleaner.
• Jacinta's minding me from 4-6pm. Will surely finish the book club novel??  Can't help but hate myself for how slowly I read now. >< *sigh*
• Will hopefully watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 94TH time!
• 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 @ 2201 (so yay I'm over two grand but sorry I'll not reach 2.5 grand tonight XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Good Shepherd'. Righteo, continuing today's events?

• Once I'd used up my most important two hours of  the day online, I headed over to the bathroom, calling when I passed the stairs would PIG mum please lemme shower! The Broncos game starts @ 4pm! Only she didn't hear me, so I thumped the bathroom wall and called again!Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 327

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1388 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Freest Love'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "The Way Up's Down" and thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Deep Roots'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like the past three nights, nature didn't call until 6:30am and after one pot :P trip I immediately tried falling back asleep since I guessed PIG mum would get very noisy one hour later!
• Success - I didn't wake until PIG mum let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo! She then helped exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and spread out the tee for me before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into the tee and 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. 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.
• Breakfast is one bowl of plain porridge, 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 bathroom, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

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 (what I've done all day). PIG mum tootles us off to church and I hike up the ramp, use the disabled loo for one tinkle then grab my usual spot @ service. Unsure why PIG mum made me hold the loo lid before she lifted it up for me, but hey.
• Took my usual spot for service and PIG mum bolted upstairs for the Canto service with ten minutes remaining.
• Yay, I got to stay seated for worship today. I sang everything, plus the harmony for all four songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Pastor Peter Pie with his 2nd sermon about the apostles' creed; service ended seventeen minutes early today.
• Used the loo for one more tinkle then hiked around to the back and sat down for morning tea. There's this Aussie carer minding a little Asian girl; wonder who she is? But Aunty Denise came over and gushed her happiness that we were seeing Westlife together next year and that she needed to brush up on her Westlife songs! <3 
• Everyone else enjoyed Viet food/Sai Bistro for lunch but I was stuck @ Hungry Jack's for lunch with dad again; today marks ONE WHOLE WEEK since I've enjoyed a proper lunch out. *sigh*
• I only had the smallest chicken burger plus some orange juice but got like FOURTEEN chips since dad's badminton mate sat across from us; they were talking deep political stuff! 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.
• Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day, hopefully PIG mum'll lemme shower since I wanna watch the Broncos play @ 4pm!
• Presuming we're having dinner @ Ho Lin Wah again?
• Toms:  PIG mum's helping me up, since I've got a late morning appointment to see Ray but perhaps expect a super-pissy plodding total from me since she says she's not got time to take me grocery shopping and aisle walkin afterwards since she's gotta open the door for the cleaner?
• But Liam's giving Ela a session of OT toms arvo; he'd better remember to bring bubble tea for me!! XD
• Jacinta's minding me from 4-6pm; fingers crossed I can read for one hour and watch the 6pm news for the 93RD time!
• Anyways, hopefully  bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
