Monday Post 330d

 One final good evening and greeting  for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @  2504. Ha, I'm literally just over 2.5 grand. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • Forgot to  add boxing to  the end of today's physio list! XD
  • After one loo trip I  climbed back into Jacinta's car and she tootled us off to buy groceries from the Sunny Patk  Woolies. I like grocery shopping with the carers more than the parents since they lemme sit on the self-serve checkout.
  • Best of all,  there's enough change for a soft serve from Maccas before  returning home!
  • Take a nice hot shower -  hairwash today. Also  thanks to Jacinta who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right  eye tightly  shut
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea's one yummy  banana, one plain cracker and TWO big mugs of white tea with one spoonful of honey  since Jacinta's found where sneaky   PIG mum's hidden  the honey! I happily read for one hour, reaching pg. 111 @ 5:36pm.
  • At  5:55pm I sit over the loo for two tinkles then sign Jacinta off with my  thanks and byes. Not seeing her for two/three weeks now; she's heading interstate with her boyfriend/partner and visiting their family!
  • Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 161ST time. All the things I like  recording  are @ the bottom of today's first post.
  • Almost outta time,  so just briefly: had the usual  boiled, bland and tasteless dinner,   read for another fifteen minutes (since I like reading for one hour each day where possible;  I reached pg. 111 @ 7:57pm), returned online then used loo for  one more tinkle @ 9pm.
  • Toms: Peggy's minding me from  9:30am till 4pm. She'll  help me up, take me to Pinelands Coles to buy groceries and get a bahn mi   for lunch from the Pinelands Bakehouse, take  me to  UQ physio for two hours then see me home and showered before leaving  @ 4pm.
  • Still waiting for  CODA to lemme know who's taking me to  Toastmasters toms night ...
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day  toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding  total for Monday now stands @ 2460 (so will have hopefully  reached 2.5 grand before tonight ends XD) but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed SEVENTEEN MINUTES  online after using the loo once more  @ 9pm!! Anyways, continuing Monday's events?

  • Breakfast is one slice of  dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully    very lightly sprinkled with  toast,  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 online, 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 buckle my own  seatbelt. The parents climb inside too and dearest dad tootles me off to see Ray  for  some  acupuncture and massage.  Yay, I like it   when   dad drives since he'll park right by  the fence unlike PIG mum, who just parks up the driveway.

  • Dad  drops PIG mum and I off then heads for Bunnings, saying he'll pick us  up in one hour. PIG mum and I hike inside and greet Ray,  welcoming him  back from his interstate holidays. Mostly I'm just  disappointed he forgot  to  bring me back   a souvenir. XED

  • I use the loo for one tinkle then lie down for some massage and acupuncture.  PIG mum must've missed her chance to yap these past two weeks while Ray was interstate hence made up for  it today, repeating multiple syllables before continuing. XD My grateful  thanks  to  Ray who  always replied and kept a conversation flowing. Me, I liked the shoulder  CPR the best. Oh,  Elf's thigh felt the good pain I've grown to understand! 

  • After one more tinkle, dad picked us up and tootled us home. I booted up the  computer and started reading the  day's Bible passages  while the parents reheated lunch  and summoned me when it was ready.

  • Lunch was  one bowl  of  tasteless rice leftovers and spooned down with a bowlful of  soup. After taking the bowl over to the sink I walked 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  sat over the loo  for two tinkles then was by  the door awaiting Jacinta's arrival  @ 2pm.

  • Jacinta arrived, I climbed into   the passenger seat of  her  car, she kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt (as she kindly  did all day) then tootled me off to Breathe for physio. We arrive early enough to have ten minutes to play on our phones before Jacinta takes me  in, leaves me  with Winnie then goes and buys herself some lunch.

  • Physio today: 1.616km bike ride, forty bar-assissted push ups with left weight shift, forty steps for Erf with more left weight shift, forty steps for Elf, forty v-bar cable rows for both hands, forty leg extensions for Elf, forty leg extensions for Erf, forty leg curls for Elf, forty leg curls 
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final good evening for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ exactly  2300 (nice number XD)  and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Rejoice In What God Has Given You' but thirdly and way most importantly I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and ONE MINUTE online after dinner tonight!! Righteo, potential final, final  events for Monday?

  • PIG mum returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me too  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..
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Monday Post 330

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding only 892 steps (but  going out again next); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Faith Expels Guilt, Greed And Fear'; thirdly, TWFT topic's  'Be A Team Player' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Drastic Love" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-THREE MINUTES online after I get home from physio and watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 161ST time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, what better way to start the working week than with an awesome sleep last night! Shh  about the  lbl @ 12:30am; I've got my monthlies, am wearing pull-up  parts so just sat up and caught it. XD
  • Nature didn't call until 7:30am 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, nature calling again around one hour later. Following one more hour of  cuddling and snoring, 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  and give poor Elf a very  brief rub, since she totally ignored my   poor foot last night, like she's done for the past WEEK! >< That's alright, Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes last night  and let her wear her sock to sleep last night but obviously removed it first thing  this morning! XD
  • After PIG mum hits me with the eye goo she helps me exceedingly slightly with  absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and laying out my tee 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. ^^
    P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news (Nine's, read by Mia Glover) for the 161ST time:Millward, Todhunter, Newman, Jenkinson (heard), Hughes (heard), Taderos (heard), Issacs, Heagney, Armstrong (heard), Sweedman, D'Alessandro, Camm, Ryan, Neill, McLeod, Albanese, Reid (first name), Butler, Whitaker, Trump, Leaney, Helene (first  name), Nikora, Fifita, Daly (first name), Cleary (heard), Spooner Burke, Lambetsos, Khoury, Meyer, Scolyer, Mostyn, Thompson, Long (heard), Nicholl, Purdie, Van  Lunteren, Lansdown, Boone, Anutin (first name), Amalee (first name), Saunders, Jakob (first name), Funk, Haas (heard), Millward, Woolford, Cadman, Zahos, McCullum, Stokes (heard), Hewitt, Jannik (first name), Bavas, Sinner, Draper (heard), Jackson, Fagan, Bailey, Margy (first  name), Osmons, Tehan, Hetherington, Zverev, Wildman and Kohler.

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 1538. See? Told you I'd crack 1.5 grand! XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

  • Phew, yes! I reached pg. 125 @ 4:21pm and reached pg. 150 plus FINISHED THE BOOK @ 4:50pm!! The About The Author section was finished five minutes later, and EVERYTHING was finished @ 4:56pm! Then I had just over ten minutes to continue reading the Isobel Carmody book; oh, I wish I wasn't such a slow reader since I'd love to go through the Obernewtyn (sp?) series again!!
  • Exactly one hour after I started reading I went and took  a shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I  also sang 20% of my  shorter second-favourite song sodtly,  sloowly but most hatefully out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually I   was done after only 10% but  happily leaned fully   against  the right side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling   PIG mum back.
  • Only twenty minutes left, so just super-briefly:
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, I watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 160TH time before we had our once-weekly family dinner out @ Ho Lin Wah. My achievement for the week: I could read both set meals! XD
  • Got home, returned online then used loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm. Just eep that the right side of my idiot head started aching tonight ... PIG mum originally said she'd gimme Nurofen but she's forgotten. XD
  • Toms: Ray's back from Japan so I'm seeing him for some acupuncture and massage! Bet   PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him; me, I'm just hoping he's remembered to bring me back a souvenir! XD But obviously I'll not ask~
  • Hope PIG mum remembers to take me grocery shopping afterwards, else maybe expect a super-pissy plodding total from me?
  • Jacinta's coming @ 2pm and taking me to Breathe for physio @ 3pm then seeing me home and showered before leaving @ 6pm.
  • Hoping to watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 161ST time!
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 1498 (so will have definitely cracked 1.5 grand before the night's out XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The  Widow And The Oil'. Righteo, continuing today's events?

  • Precisely two hours after starting my most important two hours of the day, I got offline, used the loo for one tinkle then sat to munch arvo tea and read for one hour; SURELY, I'd finish the tiny book club novel I started yesterday??
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Sunday Post 330

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1041 steps  (ha, I'm just over one grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'We Experience The Spirit Through Faith'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Start Your Day With God' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Acting On God's Promises".. Anyways, events for  today?

  • Aww, since nature already called once @ 11:55am I was hopeful for an awesome night's sleep but unsure why she called again around 2:3oam with another full bladder? Doesn't matter; luckily I'd achieved  my 10TH week of consecutive awesome sleeps the night before,  else I'd have been really pissed! >< XDFollowing the  first daylight pot :P  trip I immediately did the exercises Winnie taught me to prevent further back pain then 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*

  • PIG mum lets herself into my room @ 7am 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. That's alright; Era rubbed Elf for fifteen minutes last night before sleep and let  her wear her sock to sleep last night but obviously tugged the sock off first thing this morning! XD
  • After PIG mum helps exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and laying the tops out,  she leaves 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 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 avocado and for some reason, the PLATE (not the bread?) very lightly sprinkled with salt (hence why I lick the plate clean after eating XD) , 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 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 seatbelt (what I   do all day). PIG mum  tootles us off to   church and parks outside the service hall.  I hike up the ramp, use the disabled toilet myself for one tinkle (the seat's up but   so's the lid), wash and dry Era then grab my usual spot for  service. PIG mum bolts back upstairs,
  • Yay, I  get to stay seated for worship   today. I sing everything, plus the harmony for three songs but  like  every other week, mean absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh* Mostly I'm just proud that my lyrics didn't glitch and I didn't need to look @ Kwany for help! XD
  • Speaker today was Pastor Timothy; his sermon topic was Our God's A God IOf Promise. Today I learnt that he's married without kids yet  and afterwards Kwany told me that he's older than Pastor Timothy, which prolly means I'm older than him too, since Kwany's only slightly older than me!
  • Service also ended thirty-two minutes early  today, since there weren't  any announcements! After everyone cleared out, Kwany hung around for a few minutes, telling me that term three starts toms but when he left to pickup his kids I just  happily played some  match three game until   PIG mum came for me; obviously, church's a safe place~ XD
  • After using  the loo independently  for another tinkle, I hiked around to  the back where dad already had a pack of Arnott's bikkies plus one cup of milk but seemingly sugarless tea ready for me.
  • Today, Uncle Peter Ko   sat beside me and showed me photos from his recent trip to Iceland; apparently you  can't fly  direct  there!
  • While PIG mum was enjoying her once-weekly gossip   and coffee social with  her aunty  friends and the rest of EM was enjoying Korean food together for lunch, dad made me eat @ the Rochedale Hungry Jack's again. Yesterday already marked ONE WHOLE WEEK since I last enjoyed a proper meal out.
  • Just a cheeseburger for me today (Hungry Jack's cheeseburgers are yucky since they  come with mustard), exactly ten chips, like 1/3 of the orange juice and one mouthful of the disgusting  free coffee.
  • After dad tootled us home I used the loo for one more tinkle, washed and dried Era then walked 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.
  • Once I've used up  the most important  two hours of the day I'll use the loo for one tinkle, finish  sharing my Facebook memories then munch the arvo tea PIG mum left for me before heading upstairs and hitting pigland.
  • Toms: Ray's still holidaying interstate I'm pretty sure but fingers crossed PIG mum'll help  me up not too late and take me for walkies somewhere before coming home for lunch else expect a super-pissy plodding total  for me.
  • I'm sure we'll come  home for  lunch with dearest  dad  (even though today marks one whole WEEK since I last enjoyed a proper meal out) before Jacinta comes @ 1/2 and takes me to   Breathe fpr physio. Presuming  we'll  buy  groceries  before coming home for personal care.
  • Looking  forward to  watching the 6pm news for the 160TH time!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyoone a smashing  week  ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
