Monday Post 214b

 Heylo again, good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final2582.  plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2582. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • Breakfast is two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix with 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 back of Cherry and once PIG mum's climbed aboard too, dearest dad tootles me off to see Ray, drooping us off right @ the gate! Pity PIG mum won't do that; she says she's not good enough a driver to. *sigh*
  • I use the loo for one tinkle and when I exit the bathroom Ray immediately gifts me with an adorable souvenir: a 101 Dalmatians shoulder clip! <3
  • Then I lie down for some acupuncture and massage. PIG mum's in her element, yapping unceasingly @ Ray; my gracious thanks to him for always replying and keeping a conversation flowing.

  • Afterwards, dad tootles us  off to     Sunnybank  Hills Shoppingtown for a quick lunch before I see Peter for an AFO fix and OMG are we  running late? Since I get    to use Sparkless3!!
  • Dunno   why   the  font size and dot point  size have suddenly changed, but hey. XD
  • Dad got us a tuna Subway to  share for lunch;  we just drank his bottle of water.
  • Then 'twas back  to  APO for  another boot fix and awesome, Gina made me a cup of  white tea with  two sugars!
  • Back home,  Jacinta minded me from 4-6. PIG mum had given me one mug of herbal tea but after she'd headed upstairs Jacinta found the honey  and made me another mug of   vanilla  chai sweetened with one spoonful of honey! :D
  • Happily read the  book  club novel for one hour, reaching pg. 300 @ exactly 4:20pm  and reaching pg. 325 @ 4:51pm. Then I had like forty minutes to  happily play match three games while Jacinta massaged Ela very gently for one full hour!
  • At 5:55pm I sat over the loo for  two tinkles before signing Jacinta off with my thanks and byes. She's back toms night and taking  me to Toastmasters!All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news (Nine’s, read  by Melissa Downes) for the 66TH time: Trump, Tomasi, Albanese, Ishaq (first name), Dar,  Probyn, Quigley, Todhunter,  Hammond,  Marles, Albanese, Zambic (heard), D’Alessandro, Fentiman, Crisafulli (heard),  Bavas, Aunban (heard), Putin  (heard), Trump, Liersch, Arbiter, Heagney, Jeffreys, Willison, Carrigan (heard),Bieber, Constance, Yash (first name), Panchal,   Spears,  Rugg, Malcolm, Garcia (heard), Rose,    Hatton, Denley,Reynolds, Jakob (first  name, heard), Funk (heard),  Dobbin, Johnson, McIlroy, unn (heard),Mathers, Bashir, Zorko, Dayne (first name, heard),Dearden,  Drinkwater (heard),  Foran  (heard),Buffy,Tahir, Taha and Kohler. Chris Kohler read the finance report (1AUD = 70.42USc and Telstra shares are @ $5.42), Aislin Kriukelis read the sports report and Garry   Youngberry read the weather report from Surfers Paradise. Brisbane was 16-29. Brisbane toms: 18-28. Mt. Gravatt toms: 16-27. Sunrise: 6:03am Sunset 5:33pm

  • Used loo for tinkle, had dinner then sat @ table and waited while dearest dad kindly fixed my AFO again and PIG mum  gleefully forced poor    Elf on  several sets of exercises.
  • Returned online and used loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm.
  • Toms:  Peggy's minding  me  from 9am and taking me to  Ben And Jerry's Free Cone Day! :D Fingers  crossed I'll not haveta stand for too long ...
  • Cousin Teresa's popping over for like   two days and will arrive toms arvo; I've not   seen her since like 2012!!!
  • Then Jacinta's back  taking me to Toastmasters toms night, so thanks to dearest dad who's already left me some leftover rice in  the fridge for arvo tea else I'll fret coz I'm getting a bahn mi  for lunch and an Unhappy Meal for dinner.
  • Righteo,  hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Monday Post 214

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2507 steps (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "You Cannot Lose In The End"; thirdly, TWFT topic's "I Have Set The Lord Always Before Me"; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Power Of Grace' and fifthly, Joni's devotional topic's 'No Greater Love' but sixthly and   way most importantly, I'm  really still owed ONE HOUR and SIXTEEN MINUTES online  after I use the loo once more  @ 9pm!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Nature called once last night around 12:45pm; following another pot :P trip  after the Sun's rising, 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 until 9am before waking for the pot :P again! Shortly afterwards,  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 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.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Sunday Post 214d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2024. Ha, I'm just over two grand. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • After I tapped the nice hot water off and PIG mum dried the back of the chair 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 up.
  • After I dried the loo seat I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped both feet dry, washed and dried Era then 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.
  • Did my weekly file backup then watched pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 66TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of today's second post.
  • Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
  • Our once-weekly family dinner out together was @ Ho Lin Wah. Ate nearly (but not quite 1.5 bowls of honey chicken rice and almost (but again not quite) one bowl of thin soupy ho fan, drank half the set soup, one cup of Chinese tea and just over one mouthful of the hot HK-style milk tea.
  • Got home, returned online then used loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm.
  • Toms: morning appointment to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage, early arvo appointment @ APO to fix my AFO and a mid-arvo appointment @ Breathe for physio! Hence why Jacinta's with me until 6pm~
  • Hoping to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 67TH time!
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Sunday Post 214c

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 1949 (so will have reached two grand before tonight ends, sweet XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Before Abraham   Was, I AM'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

  •  After reading for one hour, I happily played some version of Bejeweled on my mobile until woke from her long arvo and tossed me one banana, one plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea for arvo tea.
  • Then I took a nice hot shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today.   I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was all done after only 10% but happily leaned fully against the right-side rail before calling PIG mum back.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Sunday Post 214

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1331 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "The Great King's Wine"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'True Repentance Brings Restoration' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Slow Anger'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, for the first time in three days, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call am and after one pot :P trip I immediately try falling back asleep before PIG mum starts STOMPING around upstairs very soon!
  • Instead, fifty-odd breaths in, noisy PIG mum goes a-THUMP, and I realise I'll not fall back asleep this morning. Instead, 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*
  • PIG mum lets 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 giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
  • PIG mum returns and finishes 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's one 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. 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?

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 us off to church and parks outside the service hall. I hike up the ramp, use the disabled loo myself for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then grab my usual spot on the most left.
  • Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
  • Stayed seated for worship; sang everything plus the harmony for four songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
  • Speaker today was Ezekiel; his sermon today was Psalm 73: When The Grass Is Greener On The World's Side."
  • Used loo for another tinkle, had morning tea behind church then had lunch with dad @ Hungry Jack's (a chicken royale burger, ten chips and a small orange juice) while everyone else from ESS enjoyed Korean food together. *sigh*
  • Got home, used loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era, did the daily Bible readings then plopped online for myself.
  • Wonder where dad will take us for dinner tonight? Yay that he says I can watch the 6pm news first~
  • Toms: provided Ray's back from holidays, PIG mum'll help me up and I'll see him for some acupuncture and massage. Bet she's DYING to yap unceasingly @ him; me, I'm just hoping Ray remembered to bring back a souvenir for me! XD
  • Unsure does PIG mum wanna grocery shop before coming home for lunch with dearest dad.
  • Jacinta's minding me from 2pm till 6pm toms and taking me to Breathe for physio. Maybe we'll grocery shop afterwards before coming home for a shower?
  • May not get the time to read the book club novel for one hour but looking forward to watching the 6pm news!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 214c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2724. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

  • When nature randomly called @ 8:40pm, I walked myself once 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.
  • I continued reading and sharing my Facebook memories then @ 9pm walked myself slowly and safely once more to the loo for one more tinkle and back, again and 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.  Would love lunch out with other ESS peoples but will only get like a pissy little cheeseburger, around ten chips and an orange juice with   dad @ the Rochedale Hungry Jacks. *sigh* 
  • Also expecting a stressful  arvo  @ the hands of   PIG mum. >< *another sigh* But hoping to read for one hour and watch the 6pm news for the 66TH time!
  • Righteo, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
    Cheers,
    Em.   ^^
