Tuesday Post 610e

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 5277.  Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

  • 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.
  • Suddenly, dad summons me over to   eat black sesame tong yuen; apparently that's a CNY tradition?
  • Toms: PIG mum'll   help me up but then maybe expect a super-pissy plodding total from me, since she can't take me   grocery shopping and aisle walking since she's got sth  that needs doing   @ Centrelink.
  • But Jane's taking me to table tennis @ 1:30pm; let there be cake! Actually, will haveta chase Michelle and find out who's taking me to the first para-table tennis competition this Sunday; it's still TBA~
  • Will shower quickest when I get home, hopefully get 2nd arvo  tea while watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 35TH time! Jane leaves @ 6:30pm and I'll remind PIG mum to please gimme dinner once she leaves since Jenny's picking me up for GG Bible study @ 6:10pm!
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing   day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em.   ^^
    P.S. Tonight I've   managed FIVE posts; that  doesn't usually  happen Tuesdays! XD

 Good evening again and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ exactly 5200. Righteo,  potential final events for tonight?

  • Dried, creamed and rekitted,  arvo    tea was one piece of fruit, one plain cracker and one huge mug of some T2 herbal tea.  Happiness was reading   the book club novel for one hour; finishing pg. 250 @ 3:49pm.
  • Used the loo for one tinkle, plopped online, read my daily Bible passages (started Mark today) then happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 34TH. All the things I like recording are in today's first post.
  • When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner @ 7:19pm, I used the loo for one tinkle 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, lotsa  little tong vegetable, lotsa icky bitter vegetable,  lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup potato, two small slices of   pork and one soup pork rib.
  • Dinner was spooned   down   with one bowl  of   soup;   after  taking  the bowl to the sink  I  walked myself  slowly   and safely back  online - bbl!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for tonight now stands @ 5083 (ha, I'm just over half a normal person today; that's rare!) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Knowing Yourself'. Anyways, continuing today's events?

  • Nature calls again around 7:45am and once more around 9am, shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before returning out and awaiting Jessyca's arrival @ 9:30am.
  • After PIG mum lets Jessyca inside and gives me fifteen more minutes, Jessyca returns @ 9:45am and we get me kitted after I use the pot :P for one more tinkle.
  • That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk out to the gobbling :P table with Jessyca, who tells me she had scrambled eggs for breakfast this morning!
  • For me, breakfast was two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P and one slice of toast lightly spread with some avocado and lightly sprinkled with some salt, 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, Jessyca covers me with sunscreen then accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast stuff up. Over the loo proper, 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 Jessyca's car and she tootles us off to Pinelands Plaza. Thanks to her who kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt all day.
  • Jessyca finds a disabled park then grabs a trolley for us. First, I buy milk from Coles (saw Vicki and bid her Happy CNY!) then went and bought my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse. Very impressed: when I bid Aunty Nancy good morning, she immediately replied gong hei fat choi in perfect Canto! I cheered and asked her can you say anymore but she just shook her head, laughed and repeated gong hei fat choi again. XD
  • Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat and enjoyed my crunchy pork bahn mi, even though Jessyca didn't know how to put it into the toaster like Peggy does! I also enjoyed one big mug of white tea, but unfortunately horrid PIG mum wouldn't tell Jessyca where the sweetener was.  *sigh*
  • At 12:15pm I climbed back into the passenger seat of Jessyca's car and she tootled me off to the NAB for physio with Vien.
  • After I used the loo for one tinkle I sat in   the waiting room with Vien. When he came for me,  I remembered to thank him very sincerely for catching me from faceplanting the previous week.  XD
  • Physio today: Five TUG tests, one six-minute walk test, one walking backwards test and ten laps walking on double red mats and stepping over a hurdle with left weight shift. Next week's the 5th week, Vien's PROMISED me the HUGEST block of Twix that he can find, and Jem says that I can come for the next block Fridays from 10-12!
  • Jessyca tootled me home and I took a nice warm shower - hairwash  today. Also thanks to Jessyca who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

  • Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

Tuesday Post 610

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4907 steps (so    should pass half a normal person today, woot!); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'When Obedience Feels Impossible'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Resist Envy' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Belle's Belief" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really  still owed ONE HOUR and  TWELVE MINUTES online  after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 34TH  time!! 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*
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Monday Post 610d

 One final   good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3606. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • CNY Eve dinner was rather disappointing:  complete    repeat    of    last night's dinner!  Personally, I'm worried since  since  dad was having    a Whatsapp video chat with 2nd aunty and she called me fatty several times; sheesh, I've not even started my birthday month yet! *sigh*
  • PIG mum put my   old AFO back on and 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 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.
  • Toms: Jessyca's minding    me 9:30 till 4:30pm.   We'll buy groceries from Coles, buy my once-weekly crunchy pork salad roll from   the Pinelands Bakehouse, come home for lunch then I've got NAB physio @ 1pm. Jessyca will see me home and showered before leaving @ 4pm. I'm looking forward to reading the Thursday Murder Club for one hour and watching the 6pm news for the 34TH time!
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Monday Post 610c

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3525 (ha, I'm just over 3.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Let Us Reason Together' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!!  *sigh* Anyways, continuing events for today?

  • Lol, PIG mum's not   great   @ controlling her   excitement @ getting to yap @ Ray this morning; before I'd sat   down, already burbled one syllable five times and right after I   sat   down immediately repeated another syllable five times! XD Personally, I just   felt loved since the moment I entered Ray gave me a horsey red   packet! 
  • After I used the loo for one more tinkle PIG mum tootled me back to Warrigal   Square where we bought groceries from Woolies before coming home for lunch with   dearest dad.
  • Lunch over, dad tootled me off to   APO to   get my new AFO!
  • Lol, when   we left Peter said just come back if there's any issue; lol, I only reached the backseat of the car before coming back; the ankle was fine but near the front of the foot   hurt!
  • Take two:   we left again and all was good. 
  • We'd just returned home and I was over the loo when Jacinta arrived; 'twas already 4pm!
  • So a nice warm 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 one plain   cracker, one yummy pear and one huge mug of some weird T2 tea. Happiness was reading the book   club novel for one hour, finishing pg.   200 @ 4:39pm, finishing pg. 222 @ 5:13pm and reaching pg.  225 @ 5:15pm. Happiness was then having twenty-five minutes to play Crazy Manor Match while Jacinta very gently gave Ela a nice long massage.
  • 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 (Nine's) for the 33RD time. All the things I like   recording are @ the bottom of the first post.
  • When I was summoned for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle then    walked myself slowly   and safely to the gobbling :P table,  

rising above the cruel and unfaithful Gd’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.  But argh, Elf's ankle started hurting.  ><
Cheers,
Em.  ^^

Monday Post 610b

 Heylo    again    and good evening!  Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3382 but secondly    and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after dinner tonight!! Righteo, events for today?

  • Yay, what better way to start the week than with an awesome sleep last night? Nature didn't  call until 6:20am 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*
  • Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P again around 7:45am and once more around 9am, just 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 me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into the tee first and then giving myself fifteen more minutes.
  • 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/two 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.

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.

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  tootles me  off to   see  Ray for some massage and acupuncture.
