Wednesday Post 330
Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1407 steps (so trust I'll have reached 1500 steps before the day's out XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Pray Before The Throne'; thirdly, TWFT topic's Rahab: Redeemed And Redirected and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Faith Rooted In God' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and FORTY-FIVE MINUTES online after I get home from table tennis!! Anyways, events for today?
- Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:50am 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*
- Oh, yesterday: final plodding total for Tuesday was 2975 (sorry, not quite three grand XD); I had NAB physio with Sarah (Barefoot elf movement seated and standing reaching for Ela, eight laps long hallway walking four laps short hallway walking and standing table tennis) them attended YA @ QUT Toastmaster's 800TH meeting and snacked on red, white and pink lollies in keeping with the theme!
- Today, super -briefly: bought groceries with PIG mum in the morning, went with Jane to play table tennis in the afternoon (there was cake 🎂 🎂; Matty is only twenty -three!), watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 123RD time (all the things I like recording are at the bottom of this post) and going to church and playing table tennis 🏓 again with dad tonight! Tomorrow Louiza will take me to GCCW and that's the day, I think. Oh but best of all it's ice cream night tomorrow night; like I always say, a very little is better than none at all!
Cheers,
Em. ^^ - P.S All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's, read by Joel Dry) for the 123RD time: Braithwaite, O'Dempsey (heard), McDonald, Bradford, Croucher, Lemuelu, Averillo (heard ), Chalmers, Wilson, Canavan, Rishworth, Farage (heard), Hanson, Heagney, Baron, D'Alessandro, Janetzki, Bowen, Leahy, Hutchinson (heard), Trump, Tiffiny (first name), Genders, Sakr, Burrows, Macdonald, Malinauskus, Tomasi, Weatherly, Okon, Infantino, Mimi (first name), Millward , Irwin heard), Becker, Zahos, Gutuerres, Guthrie, Quinn, Barry, Savannah (first name), Powell, Dufficy, Ronaldo (heard), Trbojevic, McConnell, Todhunter, Lensen, Fagan, Lester (heard ),Middleton, Nanai, Taumololo Rogersand Kohler.

One final good evening and greeting Em's final, final plodding total for tonight now stands @ 2326. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?
- After publishing the previous post I read and shared the She Reads Truth daily devotional before reading and sharing some Facebook memories.
- At 9pm 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.
- Toms: Peggy's minding me 9:30am till like 4pm. After breakfast we'll buy groceries from Coles Pinelands plus my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi for lunch then come home before Peggy takes me to the NAB for two hours' physio with Sarah.
- She'll see me home and showered before leaving @ like 4pm. I'll prolly not have time for my most important two hours for the day since I've gotta read the day's Bible readings plus I'm needing rice for arvo tea since Michelle still hasn't found anyone to take me to Toastmasters but it's our 800TH meeting!! Years ago for our 700th we partied @ the pub but Kate said this year she'd buy cake but suddenly she can't come and neither can Aarunan!! *cringe*
- Plus, I've gotta compose GCCW homework!!!
- Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Good evening again! Em's new plodding total for Monday mow stands @ 2256. Anyways, continuing today's events?
- 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 the Chery and dad tootles us off to see Ray. Yay that dad's driving, he'll park right by the gate and thus save me from a longer walk since PIG mum only ever parks on the driveway.
- I use the loo for one tinkle then lie down for some slightly ouchy massage and acupuncture. PIG mum's in her element yapping unceaselessly @ Ray; my grateful thanks to Ray who always replied and kept a conversation flowing. But maybe I'm not seeing him next week since it's school holidays and he's taking his family interstate somewhere?
- After one more tinkle, PIG mum tootles us home. I plop online and start reading today's Bible passages while the parents get lunch ready. Actually, they eat first since PIG mum's off to the pool for exercises soon.
- Lol I've clean forgotten what lunch was but it was washed down with a DELICIOUS mug of Chinese tea!
- After taking the cup over to the sink, I walk myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
- Since Jacinta's shift starts @ 2pm, usually I visit the loo once more @ 1:55pm. When Michelle rang saying Jacinta was running late and wouldn't arrive until 2:15pm I told dad I'd use the loo @ 2:10am and he was fine but when Jacinta suddenly arrived @ 2:08pm dad DEMANDED I GO NOW! Lol, he even had the audacity to try and force me out before I'd sat over the loo for two tinkles but I ignored him. XD We still arrived plenty early and had like ten minutes to play with our mobiles before going inside. XD
- Physio today: 1.792 bike ride, forty bar-assissted push ups with left weight shift, forty step ups for Erf with more left weight shift, forty step ups for Erf, forty leg curls for Erf, forty leg curls for Elf, forty leg extensions for Erf, forty leg extensions for Elf, two bed exercises to prevent back pain and boxing!
- After one toilet trip, Jacinta tootled us off to the Woolies @ Sunny Park Woolies for grocery shopping. Happiness was having fifty cents left afterwards to buy a soft serve with; Jacinta ate medium chips and poked them into my ice cream for me!
- Back home, I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Jacinta who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era too hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
- Dried, creamed and rekitted arvo tea was one tasty cracker, one yummy banana and one big mug of Earl grey tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey, delicious!
- Jacinta found me an awesome new book to read - Only A Monster
by Vanessa Len and I reached page twenty-five @ exactly 5:25pm. - At 5:55pm I sat once more over the loo for two tinkles before signing Jacinta off with my thanks and byes. Originally she was taking me to Toastmasters toms night but she's pulled out since she's already got a seven hour shift before me and will be too tired; PIG mum immediately rang Michelle and I've emailed her saying you'd better find someone to take me toms night!
- Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 122ND time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of today's first post.
- When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner @ 7:25pm 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: rice, lotsa yummy cauliflower, lotsa soup tomato, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup potato, one tasteless piece of soup and two really small pieces of surprisingly yummy crumbed fish!
- Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of 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.
- Anyways, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms, else wishing everyone a smashing Tuesday ahead!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2158 (see? Told you I'd crack 2000! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'An Undercurrent Of Gratitude' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWO MINUTES online after dinner tonight!! Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?
- Breakfast is one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with some avocado and hopefully sprinkled with a little 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*
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding only 852 steps (but going to physio next and promise to have cracked one grand before Monday's out XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Satisfaction That Defeats Sin'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Raise The Bar' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Ready To Be Generous' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY MINUTES online after I get home from physio and watch the 6pm news for the 122ND time!! Anyways, events for today?
- When nature called around 1am, I used the pot :P once ands bet that PIG mum had forgotten to change the clock's battery like she'd told me she would when I informed her yesterday that the battery was running flat. XD
- Sure enough, after the first pot :P trip following the Sun's rising, I noticed that the clock only read 4am. XD Back under the covers, 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 not calling again until nearly 9am. Shortly after this third pot :P trip, PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs and shortly afterwards 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 out the tee before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into the tops and then giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
- After mostly rekitting myself I call PIG mum to please come and finish with Elf's AFO straps and both laces; it's already almost 9:45am! Still, she takes her time about it and it's not till just after 9:50am when I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth.
Cheers,
Em. ^^
