  • NAB physio with Nathan: Three rounds of standing boxing with left weight shift, sixteen laps walking along black tape with more knee bend and lotsa stepping for Erf with more left weight shift.
  • Came home, showered then cooked a chicken stir-fry with Dorrie!
  • Watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 47TH time, had dinner, returned online and used the loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm.
  • Toms: Jane's minding me from 9:30am till 1pm.  Presuming we'll collect my new book club novel from the Logan North library then buy my arvo tea sushi before coming home for a shower and lunch? Jane has said she'll feed me two more big cups of white tea with sweetener after shower; sweet~

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for tonight now stands @ 3504 (ha, I'm just over 3.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'God Can Handle Your Anger'. Righteo,  events for today?

  • Yay, what better way to end the week then with my first awesome night's sleep in three days? Nature didn't call until  the  noisy  garbage truck  THUNDERED down  our   road   @ 6:20am   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 once more for   the pot :P around 7:45am and once more around 9am, just before PIG mum begins her noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs.  Soon, she's let   herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Jane's arrival @ 9:30am.
  • After PIG mum lets Jane inside, she knocks, opens the door and calls "Good morning, Em" before adding "Fifteen more minutes." Daddy Bear has time only to nod his head @ her, and she's already shut the door and left, meaning he's not got the time to flick his paw 'shoo' @ her! XD
  • When Jane returns, I use the pot :P for two/three more tinkles, we get me kitted before I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth and sit over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Jane, who tells me that she had her usual breakfast smoothie for her morning meal today.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Thursday Post 616b

 Heylo  again, good afternoon again and take  two: firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1939  steps (so   will have definitely  passed 2000 before Thursday ends XD);  secondly, John Piper's devotional   topic from last night's  'Two Infinitely Strong And Tender Truths'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Count Your Blessings' and  fourthly, Our  Daily     Bread's devotional topic's 'The  Cost Of  Commitment' but  fifthly  and way  most   importantly, I'm   really   still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTEEN MINUTES online   after I get   back home from  watching the Broncos play the Eels;  argh;   that's the SECOND  CONSECUTIVE DAY  that I've been UNABLE to  enjoy  the ENTIRETY of the MOST IMPORTANT  TWO  HOURS OF THE DAY ONLINE!! ><  But just briefly, events for today?

  • Louiza came @ 8am and took me to GCCW! Only eight attended; more cake for us! XD
  • Came home for shower and lunch; signed Louiza with my thanks and byes. She's back same time next Thursday.
  •  Was online for only thirteen minutes when PIG mum summoned me over for  arvo  tea; phew she remembered to gimme some rice!  
  • Dad and I are going to watch   the Broncos play @ 4/4:30pm; Josh isn't there (Ezra's birthday party!) but Ms. Wriggle :P will try come say hi!
  • It's ice cream night hopefully PIG  mum'll  gimme some!! Think she said I couldn't get my free Baskin And Robbins ice cream since I signed up too late??
  • Toms: Jane's coming from 8am till 2pm.  She'll help me up, take me to see Nathan @ the NAB for two hours of physio then seeing me home and showered. Dorrie's cooking with me after Jane goes; PIG mum's gonna choose our recipe tonight!

Tuesday Post 615

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4211 steps (ooh, I'm over 4000 steps; that doesn't happen very often!); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'God Cares For You'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Show Your Appreciation' 'The Hope Jesus Brings'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:25am 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* Actually, nature already called once just before midnight; after one pot :P trip I'd just crawled back into bed when either parent went THUMP! upstairs! Luckily, I'd just relieved myself otherwise I'd have been really grumpy @ being denied an awesome sleep. >< XD
  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, nature calling once around 9am, shortly before 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 give poor Elf a very brief rub since she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night. Doesn't matter:  Era rubbed Elf's ankle for fifteen minutes last night and let her wear her sock to sleep although obviously peeled it off her first thing this morning! XD
  • Once PIG mum let Peggy inside @ 9:30am, Peggy knocked and opened the door before announcing "Good morning." When Daddy Bear nods good morning back @ her, Peggy next states, "Fifteen more minutes." Daddy Bear nods once more that flicks his paw   'shoo' @ her. Peggy just smirks with laughter and wisely withdraws, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum.  XD
  • Once I've counted 900 seconds, I give Peggy thirty more seconds leeway before grousing "Peggy, I'm hungry!" and swinging myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle. Turns out Peggy was already waiting outside my room; she immediately comes inside and we get me kitted.
  • While Peggy gets me some breakfast ready, I brush teeth (thanks to Peggy who's already squirted me some toothpaste), sit over the loo then wash and dry Era before heading out to the gobbling :P table with Peggy, who tells me that she had her usual two fried eggs for breakfast this morning.
  • For breakfast, I only get two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread with   avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt cut into four squares, 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, Peggy slathers my face and both arms with sunscreen then accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast things 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 backseat of Auto (pronounced Alto) and Peggy tootles me off to Breathe for physio. You're allowed to park after the first three spaces; unsure why Peggy always parks @ the very end where the disabled spot   is? I thought the disabled spots were closer to the entrance but that one's the furthest away! Doesn't matter~
  • Physio today: .783km bike ride, forty v-bar cable rows for both   hands, forty bar-assisted pushups, forty steps for Erf with left weight shift, forty steps for Elf, forty leg extensions for Elf. forty leg curls for Elf, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing! Biggest   surprise:   after half a DECADE, Breathe's relocating to Macgregor! Winnie says rent here keeps rising and their new place will be both home and work!
  • After one loo trip (CZ259 opens the female bathroom, and the second cubicle has an ambulant rail) Peggy tootled me off to the Baskin Robbins @ Calamvale   Central to redeem my free ice cream! :D
  • But I left without. ><  Sth wrong with the sign-in? Peggy assures me PIG mum will help me sort that out though and she'll take me again next week~
  • Back home, I showered my quickest - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed   and rekitted, lunch was my delicious crunchy pork salad roll and one odd-tasting mug of herbal tea from T2.
  • At 2pm, I signed Peggy off with my thanks and byes. She's back same time next week.
  • Lunch   finished, I used the loo for one tinkle then plopped online and did my daily Bible readings. Unsure where the pen's gone?  Hopefully PIG mum'll bring one back~
  • Once I've used up the most important hours of the day, I'll use the loo for one tinkle then sit @ the gobbling :P table for arvo  tea; hopefully dad remembers to gimme some rice!
  • Jacinta's taking me to Toastmasters tonight! An UnHappy Meal with an orange juice for dinner. *sigh*
  • Toms:  Presuming PIG mum'll help me up and take me grocery shopping somewhere before coming home for lunch with dearest dad.
  • Jane's coming @ 1:30pm and taking me to table tennis! Must remember to ask PIG mum will she make a birthday cake for me tonight/next week.
  • Only I can't attend GG neither toms night nor next Wednesday; PIG mum's decided dad's too   tired to drive me and I can't source a ride but Pastor Peter Pie says don't join through Zoom?
  • Oh, but I'll haveta  create GCCW homework!
  • Anyways, hope everyone's had a smashing start to their week!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
