• After publishing the previous post I had thirty minutes to happily play the Queen version of Bejeweled~

• Toms: Louiza's minding me from 9:30am till 1pm.Going to buy my honeychicken sushi roll for arvo tea with  her plus any groceries PIG mum wants but may not get to play table tennis @ church  with dad since there's some kinda fundraising thing happening for the Kenya mission trip?

• When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner @ 7:15pm I used the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era 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, leftover pasta and chicken from the cooking I did with  Ari yesterday, lotsa broccolini, lotsa soup carrot, two/three huge chunks of yucky soup pumpkin, two chunks of soup   pork and two tasty leftover slices of  dad's delicious duck.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowlful of soup; after taking the bowl over to  the sick 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.
• Anyways, 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 weekend ahead!

 Heyloo again, good evening  and potentially one final greeting  for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential  final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 3904 (so  hoping I'll reach 4000 before tonight ends! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'A Picture Of God's Grace". Righteo, potential final, final events for Friday?

• Once I'd used up  the most important two hours of   my day,  I used the loo for one tinkle then sat down for arvo tea, peeling myself one yummy banana, munching one yummy tasty  cracker and drinking one huge mug of  herbal tea.  Dearest dad came home from his outing and showed me photos of the hike!
• Used the loo for one more tinkle before returning online and watching the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 181ST time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of the previous post.
• Righteo, hopefully  bbl   after dinner else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,

Friday Post 323

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3905 steps (so will hit   four grand today;    sweet XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Three Examples Of How Faith Fulfils Good Resolves'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Let's Tell The Whole World  About Jesus" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'One Worthy Of Worship'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, what better way to end the week then with an awesome sleep last night? Nature didn't call until the noisy garbage truck THUNDERED down our road to  tip bins and woke me; after  one pot :P  trip I immediately did the bed exercises Winnie  taught me   to prevent further back  pain 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*
• Daddy Bear and I happily cuddled and snored, me again waking for the pot :P when dearest dad came to kiss me bye and retuck me back into bed before going hiking with other church uncles!
• Daddy Bear and I  happily continued cuddling  and snoring, nature  calling once more around 9am just before noisy PIG mum began 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 to await Rebecca's mum, only  to reappear @ 9:01am   and gimme fifteen more minutes since Rebecca hadn't arrived yet! I immediately comply and tell PIG mum to ask Rebecca to help me up @ 9:15am after she arrives coz she's prolly stuck in traffic. Sure enough, that's exactly what happens! XD
• After Rebecca taps me up @ 9:15am, I use the pot :P  for two more tinkles and discover that she was stuck in traffic along the Ipswich motorway on-ramp. We  get me kitted, I head over to the  bathroom and brush teeth, then sit over the loo for one tinkle before washing and drying Era then heading out to the gobbling :P table with Rebecca.
• Breakfast is  one slice of dry (unbuttered)  toast spread with avocado and lightly   sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one  full mug of water. PIG mum kindly turns on  Sunrise for my  viewing pleasure, 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*
• Breakfast finished,  I  summon Rebecca to please gimme some sunscreen then she walks behind  me back to  the bathroom  before returning to the kitchen and washing up  the breakfast dishes. 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 Rebecca's car  and she tootles me off to the NAB.
• At UQ, I   use the toilet for one tinkle then sit in the waiting  room with the other clients nd chat until Amar (sp? Hammer without the 'h') comes for me.
• Physio  today: Thirty sit-to-stands with left and forward weight shift for Barefoot Elf sitting with less thigh support, standing reaching for Ela stacking cones with more left and forward weight shift and walked one fast lap around the great court!
• After one more loo  trip, Rebecca tootles me not home but first    to   the Logan North library  to pickup the new book club novel.
• Only there aren't  any hard copies  left! Instead, some male librarian teaches me how to download and use Libby meaning I've got a digital copy of the book! 
• Back home,  I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Rebecca who  helped me rinse out my  hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid  right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch  was one  delicious bowl  of the pasta I'd cooked with  Ari  yesterday plus one unsweetened mug of English breakfast  tea with milk. Rebecca cleaned the bathroom then left immediately; she's still got a 4-8pm shift tonight! Mostly I just  enjoyed eating with full mouthfuls. XD
• Lunch finished, I took the bowl to  the sink, used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly  and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• After noting down what I did for physio today I did my  daily    Bible readings then plopped online for myself.
• Once I've used up the most important two  hours of  my day I'll use the loo for one tinkle then sit  and munch the arvo tea PIG mum kindly left me before returning online and watching the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 181ST time.
• Toms: Louiza's minding  me 9:30am till 1pm; presuming we're buying my arvo tea sushi plus whatever groceries PIG mum wants from Woolies @ Underwood MarketPlace before coming home for a shower and lunch  (hopefully  another bowl  of that delicious pasta I  cooked with Ari yesterday) then I might play table tennis with  dad @ church. Then again, maybe not since dad says there's some Kenya mission trip fundraising thing going on! Anyhow, I'm looking forward to  my three big mugs of white tea with sweetener and plan to read the new book club novel for three hours!
• Anyways, hopefully  bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 323

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2264 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'My Soul Thirsts For God'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Evaluate Your  Expectations'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Jesus' Witness" and fifthly Joni's devotional topic's "A Heart Of Flesh but sixthly  and way most importantly, I've not been online for  two  hours until  10:01pm; meaning should PIG mum boot me off to bed  @ 9:45pm I'm really still owed SIXTEEN MINUTES online!! *sigh* Anyways, events for today?

• • Grr, nature ruined the awesome sleep streak I'd just started! >< Never mind, I was prolly too excited about my first proper meal out in one MONTH tonight. *sigh*
  • Following 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 when PIG mum wakes me with 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's ankle a very brief rub since she'd totally ignored my poor  foot last night. That's fine; Era rubbed Elf for fifteen minutes and let her wear her sock to sleep last night but obviously peeled the sock off first thing this morning! XD
  • When Louiza doesn't arrive @ 8am  PIG mum immediately opens the door  saying fifteen more minutes; I immediately comply but tell her bet Louiza's just stuck in traffic; just tell her to help me up @ 8:15pm after she arrives. Sure enough, that's exactly what happens! XD
  • When Louiza taps me up @ 8:15am, I sit  up, say good morning then used the pot :P for three more tinkles. Sure enough; Louiza was delayed in traffic: stuck along the Ipswich motorway, actually! 
  • We get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth and then  sit over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying  Era, I head out to  the gobbling  :P  table with Louiza, telling her off for not eating breakfast  this morning and informing her that she would buy herself some breakfast after she bought groceries for PIG mum while I was attending GCCW. XD
  • Breakfast was prolly one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly  smeared with    avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Thanks to Louiza who turns Sunrise on for my  viewing pleasure 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, Louiza covers my face and both hands with sunscreen then follows me back to  the bathroom before returning  to  the kitchen and washing 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 car and she tootles me off to GCCW! Thanks to her who kindly helped me with my seatbelt both ways and since we were really stuck along Logan Rd., we didn't arrive till like 9:29am hence why I skipped the arrival toilet trip and just headed straight into Meeting Room One.
  • Ten attended: Alison was here! Tammy went with me  once to  the toilet @ morning  tea and Nancy got morning tea  for me: there was cake and she not only  gave me  seconds but  left me the last slice! Only the meeting ended ten minutes early,  everyone cleared out really fast and then someone switched  off the light  and I  was left in the dark! ><  XD
  • Less than fifteen minutes left,  so super-briefly:
  • Got home, showered and had a tuna in tomato and onion with cheese toastie for  lunch.
  • Rebecca took me  to Wong's for  our book club dinner! Thirteen  attended and I had that   set that  came with  two spring rolls, some sweet and sour pork and some braised chicken with two  prawns; I picked that and the celery out. XD I also finished eating last but that was to  be expected. XD Next month we're reading A Fortunate Life? Maybe that's by  A.B. Facey and about Peekay the boxer?
  • Rebecca tootled me home; she's back toms @ 8am till 2pm~
  • Yup toms I've got  NAB physio for two hours but don't have OT since Ari already cooked with me this arvo! Will eat what we cooked this arvo for lunch toms~
  • Looking forward to reading the new book club novel  for one hour and watching the 6pm news for  the 181ST time.
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing end to the week  toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 323d

 One final good evening and  greeting  for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 3851. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• 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, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• PIG  mum brought  me over one slice of the green tea  cake I helped her bake earlier; DELICIOUS! :D Even Aunty A took a slice home for later!
• 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.
• The Slams and Aunty A left @ 9:14pm~
• Toms:  Louiza's  coming @ 8am and taking me to GCCW!
• Doubt I've got the hours for lunch out afterwards but Rebecca's taking me out to book club toms night and we're having our once-yearly dinner out afterwards @ like Wong's/some other Chinese restaurant; it'll have been one whole MONTH since I last enjoyed a proper meal out!
• Best  of all, it's ice cream night toms night; like I  always say, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Righteo, hope everyone's having a lovely week!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 323c

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Wednesday's actually 3804 (PIG mum said divide by  1.7, not 1.2) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'He Will Never Change' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really  still owed TWO MINUTES online after I visit the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, continuing today's events?

• Breakfast's one slice of toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully very lightly sprinkled with  avocado,   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  the Cherry and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). The parents climb in too, and dad tootles us off first to Hung's Auto  (in Springwood somewhere, maybe?) to borrow sth from Uncle Wah Hung.

• Then dad tootles us off to   visit 28 Barradale Ct., the home he  built for  us all the way back in  like 1992! Wow, it's changed so much: not only is there a new roof but there's been a granny flat added!

• Our final stop today was the Hyperdome! Unfortunately I didn't get to use Sparkless3 but we bumped into  our old neighbours Andrew and Jenny from Barradale Ct.; they're still  there!

• I was hoping for Red Rooster  for lunch  @ food court  but daad had originally decided on sushi; we compromised on Japanese chicken  rice although  dad wouldn't lemme enjoy  a bowl  of chicken katsudon and restricted me to just teriyaki chicken while he  enjoyed KFC. *sigh*

• Back home I plopped online to await Louiza's arrival  @ 4pm;  when she hadn't arrived by 4:05pm I headed  over to  the gobbling  :P table, intending  to ring CODA from  my mobile had she still not arrived by 4:10pm  but phew,  she arrived just then and dearest dad let her inside. Yup, she was stuck in traffic.

• So a nice hot  shower for me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Louiza 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 one juicy yummy pear, one flavoured cracker and one huge mug of herbal tea. Louiza cleaned the bathroom then asked to leave early, I  said sure just  lemme use the loo once more first.  She's back toms morning and taking me to GCCW!

• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's)  for the 180TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of the previous post. The Slam's and Anna arrived for dinner and started without me; I joined after watching the news and using the pot :P   or one tinkle.

• Dinner tonight:  rice, lotsa yummy wombok and like three pieces of  dad's delicious duck.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
