Saturday Post 329c

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2086. Anyways, final, final  events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post, I finished sharing my Facebook  memories. Turns out  tonight marks seven  YEARS since Mr. Marinated reached into  his wallet and passed me one  shiny hundred dollar bill! Can't believe I forgot to take a photo of  it; sure enough, I've not had another one since. >< XD
  • 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: just church, definitely nothing special.
  • Resigned to a spot of lunch with dad @ HJ's then a stressful arvo @ the hands  of PIG mum. *sigh* 
  • Meaning tomorrow marks THREE  WEEKS since I've enjoyed a proper meal out. *another sigh*
  • Then obviously I'll not get much for dinner on our once-weekly  family dinner out...
  • Anyways, looking  forward to  seeing everyone @ church toms!
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

Saturday Post 329b

 Heylo and good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total  for  Saturday now stands @ 2006 (ha,  I'm just over two grand  XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional  topic's  "When It's For Your Good". Righteo, continuing today's events?

  • When  PIG mum summoned me over  for dinner  @ 7:39pm 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: leftover fried rice with lotsa lettuce, two chunks of salmon and some delicious leftover turnip cake that PIG  mum made like yesterday~
  • Dinner  was washed down  with one  cup of deliciour iron goddess tea; after taking the cup  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.
  • Whoops, PIG mum bit my  head off for getting some support toms for a shower. She demanded I immediately cancel it and even rang the company to make sure I didn't get any support. >< *sigh*
  • Toms:  just church, nothing special. Resigned to a spot of lunch with dad @ Hungry Jack's  while  the rest of EM enjoy lunch out together (meaning it's been like THREE WEEKS since I  last enjoyed a proper meal  out) and PIG mum enjoys her weekly coffee and gossip session with her aunty friends before dad drops me home then goes out for badminton and arvo  tea with his mates while I'm   expecting a stressful arvo @ the hands of mother. ><  *another sigh*
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl afteter one more loo  trip after I ring Aunty Lai @ 9pm else looking forward to seeing  everyone @ church toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 329

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1891 steps (so will hopefully have reached 2000 before Saturday  ends); secondly,  John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Offense Of  Fearing Man'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Keep Running' and  fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Receiving From God' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-THREE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 120TH time!!~ Anyways, events for today?

  • Argh, nature ruined me starting an awesome sleep streak last night; dad  had already very thoughtfully walked silently down the hallway but his unpopping of the lock into the garage awoke me! >< *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; following another pot :P trip around 7:45am, 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*
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's, read by Ashelin Kriukelis) for the 120TH time: Popovich, Freeman,  Norman, Jeffries, Van Lunteren, Copp, McElnay, Cookson, Millar, Guerin, Albanese, Wilson, Sinclair, Vitkoff (heard), Trump, Tsimpikas, Herbie (first name, heard),n Farnworth (heard), Fuller (heard), Zelensky, Mimi  (first name), Becker, Keir (first name), Starmer, Modra (first name), Makenna  (first name), Munce, Williamson, Kai (first name), Allen, Renshaw,Hathaway,Dufficy, Popovich (heard), Metcalfe (heard), Pikos, Todhunter, Irakunda (heard), Schulman (heard) Baily, Heston (first name), Russell, Burnham (heard), Hills, Aberg, Shannon, Anwari, Rioli, Flanagan, Grant (heard), Munster, Boyd,  Copp, Walters, Payten, Kaufusi, Carrington, Boyd, Pankaj (furst name), Rice Suni, Radatti and Huynh.

  • Back home I take a nice hot shower - 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, lunch was one bowl  of rice leftovers and one huge mug of herbal tea. Louiza cleaned the bathroom before I signed her off with my thanks and byes about ten minutes early. She's back next Thursday and taking me to GCCW, which reminds me: gotta complete my GCCW  homework!
  • Dearest dad tootles PIG mum and me off to see Dr. John O'Sullivan the neurologist; it's more Botox time for me! 
  • At St. Andrew's Place dad drops us off and says he's going to Bunnings; Whatsapp/ring him for pickup once we're done.
  • We catch the lift up then sit in the waiting room for twenty-five minutes before Dr. O'Sullivan calls my name.
  • First, we sit  facing him and he asks us questions about my left limbs. He's awfully inchy. XD
  • Next, I sit then lie down on his treatment plinth. I shrug outta my jacket, he/PIG mum removes Elf's footwear then Dr.  O'Sullivan starts jabbing me with needles; he's still got  that static-y machine to hear my muscles scream  with pain but I've forgotten the  name. XD
  • Elf jabbed several times, I sit upright and shrug outta my tee (it's alright since I'm still  wearing the bra) and Dr. O'Sullivan next injects Ela's triceps and pec after I  sit upright.
  • My next appointment to see  him's in nine months'  time,  while PIG mum pays $945 Medicare will pay back $758; that's still $187 forked out!
  • Less than thirty minutes  left, so just super-briefly:
  • Got home,  read for one hour then watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the

Friday Post 329

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard  @ work plodding 2885 steps (so prolly won't reach 3000 before tonight's out, sorry XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'How To  Plead For Unbelievers'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Resurrect Your Dream'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Path Of Life'  and fifthly,  Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "The Desire To Do God's Will" but  sixthly and  way most importantly, I'm  really still owed FIFTY-FOUR MINUTES  online after I use the loo once more @ 9:45pm!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature  didn't call until 7:35am 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 cuddled and snored, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am, just before noisy PIG mum  begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Louiza's arrival @ 9:30am.
  • After PIG mum lets Louiza inside @ 9:30am,  she knocks, pushes open  the door and says "Good morning Em; I'll get you up in  fifteen minutes, okay?" Daddy Bear  imperiously replies with a paw wave 'shoo!'; Louiza smirks but wisely closes the door thus saving  her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
  • After counting down 900 seconds, I swing myself over to the pot :P  for one more tinkle and announce "Louiza, I'm hungry." She's next door inside the bathroom and immediately comes over; we get me kitted and 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 Louiza, who tells me that she enjoyed two fried eggs for breakfast this morning, the lucky thing!
  • Me, I may have gotten one bowl  of plain porridge? I definitely got one slice  of toast, lightly  spread with  avocado  and lvery lightlly  sprinkled with salt. I also pop all my usual drugs :P and drink one full cup 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* Also thanks  to Louiza who turned on Sunrise for my viewing pleasure~
  • Breakfast finished, I asked Louiza to please gimme (my face and both  hands) some sunscreen before she walked behind me back to the bathroom then returned to the kitchen and washed the breakfast stuff 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 Louiza's car and she tootles  me  off to UQ for physio. Thanks to her  who kindly helped me with my seatbelt both ways. Yay for a smooth run to UQ; we got there  early  enough for me to have ten minutes to play mobile games before heading upstairs @ 9:50am.
  • After using the loo for one tinkle I sat inside the waiting room.  Turns out the lady sitting beside me was the one who totally stacked it last week! After asking  was she  the one who took a tumble last Friday I then asked hope you are alright?? You made a huge crash when you dropped; I was hallway walking with my student and when I saw you stack it gasped @ my student "Go in and save her!" But  then in the next second  Elaine  the teacher had  rushed over and disn't  scream call the ambulance so we presumed you were uninjured?? She laughed, replying yes, I made quite a big ruckus going  down, didn't I? But don't  worry; I  didn't hurt myself. Oh, phew~
  • Physio  today: Barefoot Elf weight bearing,  leaning forward,  eight laps long hallway walking,  ten laps obstacle course in the NAB, stepping for Elf with a little right weight shift and stepping for Erf with lotsa left weight shift.
  • After one more tinkle, Louiza tootles me home,  stopping @ the Warrigal Square Maccas to buy herself lunch (a double/triple cheeseburger meal WITHOUT the  buns since she's mildly gluten intolerant?); she even gets me a dirty chai and  shouts me some chips! :D
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

  •  After reading and sharing my Facebook memories I read all the Origin Two news and basked in the Maroons' glory!!

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's  new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2817 and secondly, Joni's devotional  topic's 'He Bore The Full Weight'. Righteo, continuing today's events?

  • Back home, I used the loo  for  one more tinkle, read today's Bible passages then headed  over to the gobbling :P table and asked PIG mum for some arvo tea, instead of reading the book  club novel for one hour I was gonna read the Courier Mail that Louiza bought for me today!
  • After one more tinkle, I  plopped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for  the 118TH  time. All the things  I like recording are @ the bottom of the previous post. Tonight the parents ate dinner first  since dad left for a church meeting @  6:50pm~
  • Once PIG mum gave me permission  to eat dinner, 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, lotsa yummy  cabbage, lotsa soup carrot, one delicious chunk of plain chicken and two lil chunks of tasteless soup pork.
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowlful of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked  myself  slowly and  safely online, again  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 @ 9pm with my final, final plodding  total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening Friday, else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
