 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 5886 (so prolly won't reach 6000 before tonight's out, sorry XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "Don't Just Cover Both  Ways". Anyways, continuing tonight's  events?

• Card writing done and arvo tea (two tasty rice crackers, one gloopy mouthful of passionfruit and one huge mug of green  tea) I used the  loo for one more tinkle then  returned online to watch the  6pm news (Nine's) for the 185TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of  the previous post. Dad tried  summoning me over for dinner @ 6:58pm but I replied if you can't wait two minutes please eat first; I'll join once the news finishes.
• Permission given to join dinner after the news ended, I used the loo for one tinkle then walk myself slowly  and safely over 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 not-very-yummy pumpkin, lotsa some other vegetables I've since forgotten, some yummy snow fungus and like two lil chunks of delicious chicken.
• Dinner was spooned down  with one bowl of  soup; after taking  the bowl  over to the  sink I used the loo for another tinkle, washed and dried Era then 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.
• Immediately turned on ABC radio and listened to the Broncos match coverage; eep, we were losing  by fourteen points! 
• When I tuned in, the Broncos immediately scored and soon regained the lead with ten minutes left!
• Dad randomly demanded I come over and watch the last ten minutes  on  TV;  I immediately complied, replying please turn channel nine on.
• We all forgot: Nine doesn't have streaming rights for Saturday matches until the finals! I grumpily returned online and listened to the end of the ABC's commentary; phew the Broncos FINALLY won and I'll have a match to watch toms!! :D
• When nature randomly called @ 8:25pm I walked myself slowly and safely 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.
• 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!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Friday Post 323

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding exactly 5300 steps (sweet I'm more than half  a normal person today - that's rare! XD); secondly,  John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "Jesus Is Who You're Looking For"; thirdly, TWFT topic's "The Greatest Moment In Your Life's Now" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Faithfully Serving Others"  Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, what better way  than to end the week with an awesome night's sleep? Nature didn't call until 7:45am 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*
• I'm counting  myself back to  sleep when PIG mum   suddenly goes THUMP and I   remember that's right, the carer's coming @ 8am today! Soon,  she's let herself into  my room to hit me  with the eye  goo then returning outside and awaiting  Faith's arrival  @ 8am but comes back @ 8:01am snapping "Fifteen more minutes.  She's late." I immediately comply but remind PIG mum please to ring CODA should Faith have not arrived by 8:15am.
• Luckily, she arrives shortly afterwards; when she taps me @ 8:15am I sit up, say good morning, introduce myself  then use the pot :P for  three tinkles. After we get me kitted I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth before sitting over the loo  for  one tinkle. After washing and drying  Era, I head out  to  the gobbling :P table with  Faith,  who tells me that she had ugali  for breakfast this morning. She's only twenty-four from Kenya,  BTW~
• Breakfast's one slice of dry (unbuttered) salt very lightly spread with  avocado  and hopefully very lightly  sprinkled with  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* Thanks to  PIG mum who  turned Sunrise/The Morning  Show on  for my viewing pleasure; originally I asked Faith please to.  Unsure why she did it? Prolly coz the carer could see her; when  it's just me with her she NEVER helps! XD
• After breakfast, I ask Faith to please gimme (my face and both  hands) some sunscreen then she walks behind me back  to the loo before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast dishes 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 passenger seat of Faith's car. Sweet, she drives  a BMW! Comfy leather seats and lotsa legroom~
• Physio today: Eleven sit-to-stands with left and forward weight shift, ring work stacking and reaching for Era and Ela standing and one fast hike around the Great Court! Best of  all, PIG mum kindly left me ten bucks to order myself  a LARGE dirty   chai with marshmallows and Kat left  four/five little Cadbury chocolates for me! Obviously, I wolfed them all down during the drive home; PIG mum wouldn't have lemme enjoy them had I brought them home! 
• Got home and took a nice hot shower - hairwash  today. Also thanks to Faith 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 bowl of the delicious oyakodon I'd cooked with Ari yesterday heaped to the brim with vegetables (lotsa yummy cabbage and lotsa soup carrot) and one huge mug of green tea.
• Lunch finished, I asked Faith to please washup the lunch dishes while I used the loo for two tinkles then plopped online and did my daily Bible readings. I also asked PIG mum to see Faith off after she finished washing the dishes; she's got one more shift from 4pm till 8pm tonight.
• Toms: Jacinta's minding me earlier, since Noel's coming @ 10:35am and taking me to Rosanna's birthday party! So expect a super-pissy plodding total from me toms~
• Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead! Cheers, Em. ^^

Thursday Post 323c

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ exactly 3900. Nice number, eh? Perhaps I'll  reach 4000 toms! XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• When dearest dad summoned me 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 God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: the delicious oyakudon that I cooked with Ari this arvo, topped with all these vegetables like yummy wombok.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl 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.
• At 9pm I   walk  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: Faith's minding me from 8am till 2pm and taking me  to the NAB for two hours physio with Amr. 
• Since I already cooked with Ari this arvo, once Faith leaves I should be free for the rest of the  day;  looking  forward  to my most important  two hours of the day online, reading A Fortunate Life for one hour and watching the 6pm news for the 185TH time!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Heylo again and good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3808 (so won't reach four grand before tonight's out, sorry  XD) but secondly  and way most importantly,  I'm really still owed SIXTEEN MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, lemme start with Tuesday's events, just briefly?

• Had my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse for lunch then  had UQ physio with Vincente for two hours: Barefoot Elf thirty-five sit-to-stands with left and forward weight shift, more standing reaching card work for Era, five hikes up the slope and back down.
• Wednesday's events, just briefly?
• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:45am~
• Louiza took me to table tennis @ 1:30pm but was stuck majorly in bad traffic all the way home; I thanked her every time I passed another level of Jewel Queen. XD
• Pastor Peter Pie gave me a lift to GG~  Loved the three slices of sausage PIG mum included in the rice leftovers she gave me for dinner!
• Muji started with a prayer for us before she goes to Toowoomba for five/six weeks physio placement!
• Last night, Pastor Peter Pie led everyone through Study 5: Facing Your Thorns and he dropped me home afterwards.
• Now, today, just briefly?
• Louiza minded me from 9:30am till 2pm; we went grocery shopping @ the Underwood MarketPlace Woolies and bought groceries for my cooking adventures with Ari this arvo!
• PIG mum ordered I write out the recipe for Ari and kindly found a lined notebook for me before going out for pool exercises.
• After Ari and I cooked chicken  oyakudon together, PIG mum drove me out to Bupa Optical and we  both collected our new specs from Bupa Optical; Rico was there! Unfortunately PIG mum wouldn't lemme grab any arvo tea from Eight Street (even though I told her I was willing to hike all the way there) but she lemme buy a box of green tea Pocky from Daiso! 
• Got home, did my daily  Bible readings, tootled online then watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's)   for the 184TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of the previous post.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
