Tuesday Post 330

 Placeholder post! But I enjoyed my 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night, saw Vicki at Pinelands Coles, had a crunchy pork bahn mi for lunch then went out to the NAB for two hours of physio. Had rice for afternoon tea and attended toastmasters with Catherine tonight! Got table tennis 🏓 tomorrow afternoon but can't attend GG at night; wonder will dad take me to church to play table tennis 🏓 again? Hope everyone has had a lovely start to the week ~

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Monday Post 330e

 One final good evening  and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final  plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3940. Aww, sorry, not quite four  grand, maybe toms. XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

  • Over and after afternoon tea, I happily read for forty-five minutes, finishing pg. 100 @ 5:48.
  • Lol, unsure why  dad keeps trying to  make the carers leave early? At 5:54pm he was already  telling me to use the loo and telling Verena he'd sign her off! Me: firstly, dad, I'm reading  for one more minute before going to the toilet and Verena's already said she'd help me put my vest on plus washup the arvo tea stuff and her shift doesn't end till 6pm so please don't send her away yet. XD
  • At 5:55pm I sat over the loo once for two more tinkles, put the  vest on, returned online and signed Verena off with my thanks and byes. She's said she'll shout  another bubble tea next time she minds me,  woo hoo!
  • Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
  • Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 170TH time. All the things I like  recording  are @ the bottom of today's second post.
  • Summoned to  dinner @ 7:40pm, I used the loo for one tinkle before sitting down  to the usual dinner.
  • 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  4pm. We'll buy groceries from Pinelands Coles, buy my once-weekly lunch crunchy pork bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse and come home for lunch. At 12:15pm Peggy's driving me out to the  NAB for a two hour session with Vincente then seeing  me home and showered before leaving @ 4pm.
  • Have already reminded PIG mum that she'd better gimme RICE for arvo tea since Lorraine's taking  me  to  Toastmasters toms night and I'm only getting an UnHappy Meal with an orange juice for dinner ... *sigh*
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing  day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
    P.S.  Tee hee I managed FIVE posts tonight! Yeah,  that's possible some Mondays but toms there'll only  be one/two  posts. XD

Monday Post 330d

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3878 but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really  still owed TWENTY-THREE MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, continuing today's events?

  • After washing and drying Era I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own  seatbelt (what I do both ways). PIG mum tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage, parking up the driveway.
  • I use the loo for one tinkle then lie down for some massage and acupuncture. PIG mum's in her element yapping unceasingly @ Ray (today she repeated one syllable fives times before continuing  XD); my grateful thanks to Ray who always replied and kept a conversation flowing.
  • After one more loo trip, PIG mum tootles us home and I start reading today's Bible passages while she scrounges around for some lunch for us.
  • Lunch is one bowl of red-sauce pasta and washed down with one huge mug of  herbal  tea~
  • After lunch, I take the cup over to the sink then pop online, before sitting over the loo once more for two tinkles and awaiting Verena's arrival.
  • First, she tootles me off to physio, saying she's not been  back for ages since she's been  very sick; she had liver! o_O I asked her did you get a liver transplant? When she said ni I replied um, then how come you're not dead? Don't you die once your liver dies? Verena taught me that some liver damage's reversible!
  • Breathe physio today: 1.585km bike ride, forty bar-assisted push ups with left weight shift, forty steps for Erf with more left weight shift, forty steps for Elf, forty v-bar cable rows with both hands, forty leg curls for Elf, forty leg curls for Erf, forty leg extensions for Elf, forty leg extensions for Erf, tennis ball throwing and catching for Era and boxing!
  • After one tinkle, Verena tootled us back   to Woolies @ Warrigal   Square and grabbed a trolley  for us. Groceries bought, we sat outside Tea Station and Verena shouted me a LARGE choconana latte with pearls! :D 
  • Back home I take a nice hot shower - hairwash  today. Also thanks to Verena who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea's one juicy pear, one plain cracker and one delicious mug of Earl Grey/English Breakfast tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Monday Post 330c

 Good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly,  Em's new  plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3752 (so ha, I'm over 3.5  grand but  doubt I'll  reach four  grand tonight, sorry XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'To Wait On The Lord'. Anyways, potential final, final events for tonight?

  • Yay, 5th consecutive awesome sleep  last night! Nature didn't call until  7:45am  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*
  • After doing the exercises Winnie taught me to prevent further back pain, Daddy Bear and I happily cuddled and snored, nature calling once more around 9am.  Surely  afterwards,  PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs and soon she's let herself into  my room to hit me with the eye goo, help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the  bra strap  and laying out my tee and jumper before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into the tops 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.
  • Breakfast is one slice of  dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly   spread with some avocado  and hopefully very lightly sprinkled with salt, 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! 
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
