Sunday Post 327

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1522 steps (ha, I'm just over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "Paul's Salvation Was For You"; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Stay True To The Truth Of God's Word" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Restoration Efforts'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Nature called once around 12:45am; after another pot :P trip around 6:10am, I immediately fell back asleep since I knew PIG mum would get very noisy one hour later!
  • Instead, I fell back that deeply asleep I didn't wake again until PIG mum let herself into my room and hit me with the eye goo! After she helped me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and laying out the tee (that I immediately struggled into) she left me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply   with after giving myself fifteen more minutes and using the pot :P once more first. Whilst doing so, 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 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 dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P and Milo cereal, 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 PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles us off to church and parks outside our service hall. I hike up the ramp, use the second cubicle of the normal female loo (since both the disabled and first cubicle of the normal ladies loo have closed lids, but horrid PIG mum won't lift them for me), wash and dry both hands then grab my usual spot for service @ the most left.
  • Yay I get to stay seated for worship today~ I sing everything plus the harmony for two songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
  • Speaker today might've been  Tyvis/Tyvus; his sermon topic was: This I Believe: The Apostles Creed. That's the new sermon series; afterwards, I stood with everyone else and recited the creed once.
  • Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
  • Uncle Simon wandered over for a chat during morning tea! He's got two sons (in their twenties and two grandsons) and will play table tennis with Uncle Sam @ church this arvo~
  • Everyone else shared lunch @ some hotpot place but dad made me eat with him @ the Rochedale Hungry Jack's again. *sigh* Turns out Hungry Jack's does a BBQ cheeseburger, and I got just over ten chips today, woot!
  • Got home, used loo for one tinkle, did my daily Bible readings then plopped online.
  • Toms: PIG mum'll help me up, since I'm seeing Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Bet she's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD
  • Coming home for lunch with dearest dad then presuming Jacinta's taking me to Breathe for physio?
  • She'll see me home and showered before leaving @ 6pm; hoping to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 77TH time provided that I can watch it for the 76TH time tonight!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead! Cheers, Em. ^^ P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news (Nine's, read by Mia Glover) for the 76TH time: Butler, Trump, Pirro, Biden, Cole (first name, heard), Allan (heard), Croucher, Hanson, Canavan, Littleproud, Greer, Abbas (first name), Araghchi, Netanyahu (heard), Mimi (first name), Hughes (heard), Woolf,Becker, Volodomyr (first name, heard), Zelensky (heard), Maduro (heard), Neale,Chantay,D'Alessandro, Gerber, Crisafulli, Scanlon, Miles, Nicholls (heard), Balme (heard), Zahos,Turinui, McReight,Kiss,Roberts-Smith, Jamal (first name), Fogarty,Dufficy (heard), Cleary, Keziah (first name0Sullivan,Peterson,Pittar,Tedesco,Averillo (heard), Daley (heard),Marley, Meddick, Borrell, Perrett, Lawrence, Festa, Springsteen (heard), Lennon (heard), Helene (first name), Lambetsos, Kane, Kennedy and Bellamy (heard).

Saturday Post 327c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 1854. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post, I had about eight minutes to play match three games on my mobile, which hasn't gone dark today!
  •  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. Only idiot Elf started hurting really badly?? o_O Hence why PIG mum's doing sth  to her now, after I let her gleefully force poor    Elf on two sets of exercises.
  • Toms: just church, definitely nothing special.  Would love lunch out with other ESS people but that's not gonna happen. *sigh*
  • Anyways, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 327b

 Heylo again and good   evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for   Saturday now stands @ 1741 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Sing Through Your Pain'. Righteo,  continuing today's events?

  •  After PIG mun lets Jane inside @ 9:30am, Jane knocks, opens the door and says, "Good morning, Em; fifteen more minutes." Daddy Bear just gives a paw nod and just like that Jane's shut the door and left - not giving him the time to wave his paw 'shoo!' @ her.  XD
  • Once I'm counted down 900 more seconds, I swing myself over to the pot :P and announce "Jane, I'm hungry."   She's immediately inside; turns out she was already in the bathroom.   XD
  • I use the loo for one more tinkle, we get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth, drink one full cup of water then sit over the loo proper. 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 head out to the gobbling :P table with Jane, who told me that she had two poached eggs on toast for breakfast this morning.
  • Me, I only get one fried egg on toast, plus my first big mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey, all my usual drugs :P    and another full mug of water. Over and after breakfast I happily read for thirty minutes first up.
  • While I use the loo   for one more tinkle, wash and dry Era, Jane shuts and locks windows. After climbing into the passenger seat of Sarah (SAZ's the  rego plate for Jane's car, Jane tootles us off to Pinelands Plaza, since PIG mum's said I can buy rice paper rolls from the Pinelands Bakery!
  • Since Jane parks outside the shades, she demands I walk with sticky into the shade before letting me use a trolley with   her.
  • I buy the rice paper rolls from Aunty Nancy and then Jane tootles me home for a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Jane who helps 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 (thanks to Jane who added some oyster sauce for me) and two more big mugs sweetened with one spoonful of honey.
  • Whoops less than ten minutes left, so  super-briefly:
  • Played table tennis @ church with   dad~
  • Came home and read all  arvo; it's only   Saturdays that I can spend  a blessed three hours reading~
  • Watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for   the SEVENTY-FIFTH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of the previous post.
  • Summoned to dinner @ 7:06pm.
  • Drank soup, took bowl to sink then returned online.
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl   after one last tinkle @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening Sunday, else forward to  to  seeing everyone @ church toms! 
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 327

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1648 steps (ha, I'm over 1.5 grand XD);   secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Liberating Power of Forgiveness'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Challenges And Rewards Of Leadership'   and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Serving Like  Christ' but  fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and FOURTEEN MINUTES online  after I watch  the  6pm  news bulletin (Nine's)  for the SEVENTY-FIFTH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Oh, wait: my final, final plodding total from last night was 2185 (ha, I'm over two grand XD) and Joni's devotional topic from last night's 'Stop Worrying And Pray'. The Broncos won pretty big last night; I'm gonna read match report after match report and bask in their glory. XD
  • Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature  didn't call until 7am  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 cuddle and snore. The next time nature calls, after another pot :P tripI 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*
  • PIG mum's daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs around 9am wakes me for one more pot :P trip. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give Elf's ankle a very brief rub, since she totally ignored my poor foot last night. That's okay; Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes last night and let her wear her sock to sleep but obviously peeled it off first thing this morning! XD
    Cheers,
    Em.   ^^
    P.S.  All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's, read by Mia Glover) for the 75TH time: Makenna (first name), Baily, Delaforce, Skoda, Nichols, McLeod, Kennedy, Millwared, Chut (heard), Bavas, Vincent, Jackson, Lee, Marles, Mostyn (heard), Ha-teya (first name), Gripske, Daikoda (first name), Henry, Greer, Trump (heard), Baqaei,  Hegseth, Amalee (first name),  Saunders, Ibrahim, Duniam, Burke (heard), Sinclair, Smart, Coyle, Netanyahu, Van Lunteren, Pittar,m Lebron (first name), Alcaraz Tunstill, McCarthy, Hardwick, Ugle-Hagan Kalyn (first name), Ponga Taulagi, Korda, Dinkwater, Shannon, Arscott, Dekuyer, Francis (heard), Gill, Castley and Loudon.

Friday Post 327

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1570 steps (phew, I'm just over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "Seek Your City's Good"; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Experiencing God's Peace" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Rivers To Cross'.  Anyways, events for today?

  • What better way to finish the working week than with an awesome sleep last night? Nature didn't  call until the noisy garbage truck woke me THUNDERING down the road to  tip our bins 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 cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P when 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 and help me 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.

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 grumpy that the parents wouldn't turn Sunrise on for my viewing pleasure; I'd hoped they would since I'm so rarely awake this early! *sigh again*
  • Breakfast finished, 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 seat of the Chery and buckle my own seatbelt. Both parents climb in too then dad tootles me off to the P.A for my follow-up!

  • Dad dropped PIG mum and I off near the entrance; wow the hospital must've had upgrades/renovations done since it's looking really fancy! PIG mum directed me to walk all the way into some new building (we caught one lift), I checked in and then we took a seat. PIG mum immediately whacked a mask on me since there was another unmasked patient there waiting and coughing.
  • Lol, everyone must've been given the same appointment  time (10:30am) since thirty minutes later, we were still sitting here! XD
  • Only fifteen minutes left, so  super-briefly:
  • Some Indian?  doctor called my name; after we'd followed her into  her room  we sat down and she  apologised that her computer wasn't working today.
  • But phew  no tumour regrowth and no cyst either! She managed to dig up some brain photo for me to look @ and pretend I understood what I was seeing; not  only that, she brought Dr. Olson to say hi! We hugged and Dr. Olson  says she  even remembered  running up  some stairs to check sth for me!
  • Best  of all, my next MRI's not for another FIVE YEARS! Lol I said that was prolly  coz the hospital  was outta money. XD Dr. Olson said but  come back should your  coondition deteriorate suddenly and she's retiring in  the next five years/so!
  • Best of all when leaving PIG mum  spotted the donation duck that used to sit somewhere just inside the  msin hospital! I asked permission for a photo then dropped a gold coin into him.
  • Back home, lunch was half a bacon and egg McMuffin,  a slice of hash brown (they were from Maccas) one slice of watermelon and two slices of pawpaw. Lunch was washed down with one delicious mug of Taiwanese tea and then I returned online after one tinkle, using the loo again  when nature randomly called @ 2pm.
  • Christina's coming to give Ela one hour of unfunctional  exercises @ 2:45pm then Jane's minding me 4-6pm; hoping to read the  Feist novel for another hour!
  • Looking forward to  watching the 6pm news (Nine's)  for the 74TH time, will wolf down dinner afterwards then be seated on the couch to  watch Brisbane play Canterbury!
  • Toms: ANZAC Day but phew Jane's minding me 9:30am till 1pm! Think we're just buying sth  from the Pinelands Bakehouse then coming home for a shower and lunch before dad drops me off @ church  to play table tennis with  dearest dad~
  • Hopping to read for three hours; willing to skip watching the 6pm news bulletin for the SEVENTY-FIFTH time for that! 
  • Anyways, maybe bbl but if not, hope everyone has a lovely weekend ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

Thursday Post 327d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 1730. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • When nature randomly called @ 8:40am I walked myself slowly and safely once more 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.
  • Listened to the Tigers play the Eels while happily playing Crazy Manor Match - I reached level ONE HUNDRED! :D XD
  • At 9pm I walked myself once more slowly and safely 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.
  • Pity PIG mum has already taken away my mobile; I'd hoped to play Crazier Manor Match after publishing this post! XD
  • Tonight's ice cream night; yay, like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all! XD
  • Toms: woot I get outta two hours' physio since I'm going for my MRI follow-up! Dearest dad has said he'll drive PIG mum and I there; unsure why the follow-up place has changed?
  • Wonder can we eat lunch out before returning home? Nah, fanciful dreaming~ XD *sigh*
  • Mostly I'm just grumpy that I'm not cooking toms but doing unfunctional exercises for Ela; Liam already came last week! >< *sigh*
  • But will skip reading for one hour and use my most important two hours of the day; after watching the 6pm news for the 74TH time I'm gonna wolf down dinner then be seated on the couch @ 7:30pm to watch coverage of the Broncos game against the Bulldogs! Meaning I'm happy whoever wins since while the Broncos are my home team, I've rooted for the Bulldogs ever since I started attending Canterbury College MORE THAN a-quarter CENTURY ago! XD
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing end to the week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
