 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2046  (ha, I'm just over two grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Widow Of Zarephath' but  thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWELVE MINUTES online after I  use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

  • After watching the 6pm news and using the loo for one more tinkle, I climbed  into the backseat of the Chery. Thanks  to PIG mum who kindly  helped me with my seatbelt both  ways this time, since I've got seriously sh*tty night vision  post brain injury. *sigh* 
  • Like previous Sundays, we had dinner @ Ho Lin  Wah but the difference was that  Aunty A joined us, and she'd even arrived FIRST! *faints* XD
  • Tonight dad ordered two 'A' meals (stir fry Hokkien noodles with beef), some fried rice and one plate of  deep-fried cuttlefish balls.  I ate  just over half a bowl oof noodles, almost (but not quite) one bowl of rice and gobbled one yummy cuttlefish ball.  Oh, I drank one  cup of Chinese tea, half the set soup and just over one mouthful of the HK-style milk tea. Highlight of my  week: enjoying a cold HK-style milk tea ALL TO MYSELF for lunch today and enjoying one more mouthful  tonight!
  • Back home, I 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.
  • Righteo, hopefully brb  after one last looo trip  @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for the day, the final, final events for tonight  plus what's happening yoms, else hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Sunday Post 330

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1570 steps (ha, I'm just over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'When Will I Be Satisfied?'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'How To Have A Good Day'  and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Lavish Love' but fifthly and way most  importantly I'm  really still owed TWENTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after I shower!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:50am and after one pot :P trip I immediately try fall back asleep since I'm sure PIG mum'll get really noisy very soon! 
  • 100/150 breaths in (I'm nearly asleep again), noisy PIG mum goes THUMP and  I realise falling back asleep's not gonna happen; 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*
  • Shortly afterwards, PIG mum'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 then 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.
  • For breakfast, I munch one of  the buns I'd helped PIG mum  make yesterday! I also pop all my usual drugs :P  and drain 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 loo, 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. She gets in, tootles us off to church and parks outside our service hall. I hike up the ramp, use the first  cubicle of the normal ladies  loo for one tinkle (the disabled loo had lid closed but  horrid  PIG mum wouldn't lift it for me), wash and dry both hands then grab my usual spot inside the service hall @ the most left.
  • Yay, I  get to stay seated for worship  today. I sing everything,  plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*

  • Speaker today's Pastor Peter Pie who starts a new sermon  series called How People Change and service ended  service ended nine minutes early today.
  • After PIG mum collected me, I used the loo again, washed and dried both hands then hiked around to the back for arvo tea, where dearest dad  already had a  packet of bikkies and a paper  cup of white tea ready for me.
  • Uncle Simon wandered over for a chat; I screeched @ him how could the first penalty kicker just MISS the goal like that? Sure I played a right defensive back and can't aim for nuts but @ least I'd aim  the ball @ the massive goal! Uncle Simon explained that  the poor player was already exhausted after playing ninety minutes, extra time plus that extra block of extra time. Well, fair enough.
  • It's been two MONTHS; I  FINALLY enjoyed lunch out with my ESS peers today! Pastor Peter  Pie gave me a lift to  Mui  G and I ordered the crispy chicken rice with a fresh HK-style milk tea ... so good!! <3  :D Over lunch I chatted with Jodie and Elena; whoops I originally called her doctor Esther!! >< XD
  • Jodie tootled me home, telling me that she's just arrived home from a trip down too  Tasmania with Ella's family!  Wow I can't believe that they dared go during Winter; the parents and I went in Summer and were laughed @ for being Eskimos since wee  were all rugged up! XD
  • Back home, I used the loo for  one tinkle, washed and dried Era then walked myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

  • After reading the day's Bible passages I headed over to the gobbling :P table for arvo tea (one yummy banana that I peeled myself, one plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea) but  returned online  afterwards since I couldn't see a book near me around for reading.
  • When nature called I walked myself once more  slowly and safely  to the looo for one tinkle and back, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

  • Toms: not seeing  Ray for some acupuncture and massage since he's holidaying interstate with his family! Instead, hoping the parents'll take me  to see the new MINIONS movie in  GOLD CLASS before we grab lunch somewhere!
  • Jacinta's coming @ 2pm and taking me to Breathe for physio.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 330c

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding  total for Saturday now stands @ 2183. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

  • Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 155TH time. All the things I like  recording   are @ the bottom of today's  first post.
  • Once the  news 4nded I called out may I please join dinner yet? PIG mum  replies come; I use the loo for one tinkle, wash   and dry  Era then walk 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 fried rice I'd cooked with Ari yesterday covered and heaped entirely with lotsa yummy   cauliflower, lotsa yummy  cabbage  and lotsa soup carrot. Oh, don't forget the  lotsa soup onion, lotsa soup  tomato and lotsa soup onion too.
  • Dinner was spooned down with one disgusting (but  thankfully watered=down XD) bowl of celery soup; after taking the bowl 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.
  • At 9pm I rang Aunty Lai and chatted with her for  5:43; afterwards, 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.  Oh, the special thing's that I'm sharing lunch with other EM people; it's already  been two months!!
  • Wonder where dad'll take us out for dinner toms night?
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing  day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 330b

 Heylo and good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2123 (See? Told you I'd pass two grand! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Developing Endurance' but thirdly and way most importantly,  I'm really still  owed ELEVEN MINUTES online while I'm ringing  Aunty Lai @ 9pm!! Hence why I'll keep  the speaker on  and  continue surfing the net while we're chatting. Righteo, continuing today's events?

  • PIG mum beginning her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs wakes me for  one more pot :P trip around 9am; soon,  she's let her into my room to hit me with  the eye goo and inform me that the Socceroos were knocked outta the World Cup by Egypt this morning. I made a mental note to thank  dad for not venting his sadness @ the loss and letting me sleep. XD
  • After PIG mum lets Jane inside @ 9:30am, Jane knocks, pushes the door open and says "Good norming Em; fifteen more minutes." She's gone the moment Daddy Bear flops his paw in acknowledgement and denies  him  the chance to imperiously flick  his paw 'shoo!' @ her. XD
  • Once  I've counted down from  900 I swing myself over  to the pot :P  for one more tinkle  and we get me kitted before I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. After drinking  one tall cup   of water, I 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.
  • Breakfast is my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast  with  another  tall cup of water, all my usual drugs :P and my first big mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey. Over and after breakfast I happily read for thirty minutes first up.
  • While I  use the loo for one more tinkle, Jane closes and locks windows.  After I climb into the passenger seat of   Sally the Stonic, Jane tootles us  off to Underwood MarketPlace,  parks underground  and grabs a trolley  for us.
  • I only  buy 2L  of milk and  Jane doesn't need anything since her partner's buying groceries today. But yay she lets me sit on the self-serve checkout while she's paying for me; on the way  to buy sushi  we even bump into  Aunty Anne and Mid Chow!
  • Back home, I take 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 is one bowl of the delicious fried rice I cooked with Ari yesterday (unfortunately further topped with vegetables; unsure why?) and two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey.  Over and after lunch I happily  continued reading, reaching pg. 375 @ 11:58am.
  • I use the loo for two more tinkles before Jane tootles me off to church to play  table tennis with dearest dad. Since there's time, I sit over the loo for one more tinkle on  arrival. Jane clocks off two minutes early and is heading up  to Sunshine Coast tonight to spend the weekend with her parents, her siblings and their kids! I'll see her again next Wednesday for table tennis~
  • Dad lets me win  today, meaning I don't  haveta tell PIG mum  to bok him for me, even though I copped seven/eight body shots from  him! >< XD
  • Back home I used the loo for one more tinkle then sat down to enjoy my honey chicken  sushi roll,  drink one  huge mug of herbal tea and read for another one hour and fifty-five minutes, since it's only  Saturdays that I can spend a blessed three hours reading This afternoon,  I  reached pg. 400 @ 3:04pm and FINISHED THE BOOK five  minutes later! Huge thanks to Jane/whichever carer who'd grabbed me a new book  to read; one by Isobelle Carmody. I loved her Obernewtyn (sp?) series when I was little! Oh, it's titled Come The Night. Acknowledgements for the book was finished @ 3:20pm  and EVERYTHING finished one minute later!
  • Reading for  three hours done, I  helped PIG mum with her cooking, used the loo for one tinkle then popped online and did my  daily    Bible readings before plopping online for myself.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 330

 Good evening! Firstly,  today I've been hard @ work plodding 1995 steps (so promise I'll have cracked two grand  before tonight ends XD); secondly, John Piper's daily  devotional topic from last night's "Good News: God's Happy"; thirdly, TWFT topic's Exercise Patience'; and fourthly,  Our Daily  Bread's devotional topic's "A Shepherd's Heart" but and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and FIFTY-FOUR MINUTES online after watching the 6pm  news bulletin!! Anyways, events for today
?

  • Huh,  I'd just started an  awesome sleep streak but it ended immediately! >< Never mind, 'twas a sound sleep apart from that~ *sigh*
  • After 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, after another pot :P  trip about one hour later 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*

Em. ^^

Friday Post 330c

 Good evening again  and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ exactly 2000. Nice number, eh? Actually, 'twas 1992 but  that number so pissed me off I got  up, hiked  eight steps and sat back down. XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

  • Reading for one hour done I use the loo for one tinkle then read my  daily Bible passages before plopping online for myself and watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 154TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the  bottom of today's first post.
  • When PIG mum summoned me over 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: half a bowl  of the yummy fried rice I'd cooked with Ari topped to the brim with yummy boiled cauliflower.
  • Less than ten minutes left,  so just super-briefly:
  • Took bowl to sink, returned online and used loo for one  more tinkle @ 9pm.
  • Toms: Jane's minding me from 9:30am till 1pm. Will ask her to please find me a new book to read since I'm hoping to have finished the  witch book by toms arvo! Yay  that  she'll feed me three big mugs of white tea with sweetener and after playing table tennis with dad @ church I'm planning to read for the rest of the day since it's only Saturdays that I can spend a blessed three hours reading; willing to forego  watching the 6pm news for the 155TH time for  that!
    Anyways, hope  everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
