Good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 3734 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Business Of Doing The Impossible' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'll really still be owed ONE HOUR and SIX MINUTES online should PIG mum really boot me off to bed @ 9:45pm!! >< But just noting down that PIG mum and I went to Underwood Marketplace and bought knickers from KMart and groceries from Coles before Lana took me to table tennis - for the first time in one MONTH there was CAKE and there'll be cake next week too! :D I thought Lana was in her seventies/eighties but she's not even sixty yet! But she left @ 6:01pm after I'd showered and she'd cleaned the bathroom, even though her shift doesn't finish till 6:30pm. Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 166TH time, wolfed down dinner @ 6:30pm, sat over the loo for two more tinkles @ 7pm and Jenny gave me a lift to GG @ 7:15pm! Have finished that little booklet; we're now studying sth with Canva and today's title was You're Married To Christ. Toms I've forgotten who's taking me to GCCW but don't have anything happening afterwards. Hope everyone's having a smashing week!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Heylo and good afternoon again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 1876 but secondly and way more importantly, I('m really still owed ONE HOUR and EIGHTEEN MINUTES online after I get home from GG tonight; argh, it's looking like the SECOND CONSECUTIVE DAY when I'll not get the ENTIRETY of the most IMPORTANT two hours of the day online!! >< *sigh* Anyways, events for today?
- Aww, nature called around 12:45am and denied me the chance to start another awesome sleep streak. *sigh* Never mind, 'twas a sound asleep aside from it~
- 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. Can't remember did nature call again around 7:45am but it definitely did once more around 9am, just before noisy 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 me very slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap and laying out my tops before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into the tops then giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Monday Post 330c
One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 5125. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?
- After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt. PIG mum tootles me off to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture, just parking on the driveway. Pity dad couldn't drive me today; he'd park by the gate. *sigh*
- At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle then lie down for some acupuncture and massage. PIG mum's in her element yapping ceaselessly @ Ray; her record today's repeating five syllables before continuing. XD My grateful thanks to Ray who always replies and keeps a conversation flowing.
- After one more tinkle, PIG mum tootles us home for lunch, where dad has oven-baked pizza and brunchy garlic bread for us; PIG mum even gives me seconds, score! Just pity that the portions are so *tiny* ><" XD
- After washing lunch down with one mug of fruit tea I take the cup back to the sink and walk myself slowly and safely back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. At 1:55pm I sit over the loo once more for two tinkles.
- The new carer's forty-one, already has two kids and she's from the Philippines! I shared with her the two Filipino phrases I knew; she nodded approvingly @ the thank you then roared with laughter when I sheepishly told her you are fat. XD
- Breathe physio today: 1.515km bike ride, forty bar-assisted push ups with left weight shift, forty step ups for Erf with more left weight shift, forty step ups for Elf, forty v-bar cable rows for both hands, forty leg extensions for Erf,, forty leg extensions for Elf,, forty leg curls for Elf, forty leg curls for Erf, tennis ball throwing and catching for Era and boxing !
- After I used the loo for one more tinkle the carer tootled us off to Sunny Park to buy one box of three-pack facial tissues from Woolies, grabbing a trolley for us on arrival.
- Score the cashier snuck me a $30 card pack after the first wouldn't! :D Will open it toms with Peggy~
- Got home and took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to the carer who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
- Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was one yummy banana, one plain cracker and one cup of milk tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey after I told the carer I didn't want herbal tea! Happiness was reading the Isobelle Carmody book for one hour; today I reached pg. 275 @ 5:16pm.
- Less than fifteen minutes left, so just super-briefly: watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 164TH time, used loo for one tinkle, ate dinner (leftovers from last night plus lotsa boiled vegetables), drank soup, took bowl to sink, returned online and used loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm.
- Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till like 4pm. She'll help me up, take me to Pinelands Plaza for grocery shopping and bahn mi buying for lunch; after coming home for lunch she'll drive me to the NAB for two hours' physio then see me home and showered before leaving @ 4pm.
- Can't remember: did PIG mum say I could read my daily Bible passages first/did she want me to complete GCCW homework for her first?
- Looking forward to reading the Isobelle Carmody book for one hour and watching the 6pm news for the 165TH time!
- Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Good evening again! Em's new plodding total for tonight's exactly 5000. Ha, I'm half a normal person today. XD Anyways, events for today?
- Grr, I was one night from starting an awesome sleep streak but nature denied me!! >< Never mind, 'twas a sound sleep aside 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, nature calling again once more around 9am. Shortly afterwards, PIG mum begins her noisy daily a-THUMPING around upstairs and 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 the tops out before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into the tops 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 too the bathroom and brush teeth. Unsure why she waited so late before waking me; I had to bang the wall after I'd mostly independently kitted myself and ask her to please quickly finish with Elf's AFO straps and both laces but she meandered away and I didn't exit the bedroom until just after 9:50am! You know I feel like I've wasted the entire day should I be back in bed for another night's sleep should I enter the bedroom again before twelve hours passed since I exited it! >< Never mind, plan of attack: brush teeth slowly and sit over loo for a good long while; hopefully twelve hours will have passed when I re-enter the room. *sigh*
- After brushing teeth, 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 this morning, PIG mum saved me one more of the sausage buns I'd made with her recently! The silly sausage was so terrified of being eaten he tried to leap from the bread as he was heading for my mouth but since I remember to LEAN FORWARD while I eat he only landed on his original saucer and met a very glorious death inside my hungry tummy. XD 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!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
