Sunday Post 602

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2067 steps (ha, I'm literally just over 2000 XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Faith Expels Guilt, Greed And Fear'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Faith's Not Faith Until It's Acted Upon' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Running  The Race With Christ'. Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 8th consecutive sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:50am and after one pot :P trip I immediately tried falling back asleep before PIG mum began her noisy daily a-THUMPING around upstairs!
• Sleep   didn't return; I was only fourteen breaths into counting myself back to sleep when noisy PIG mum   went a-THUMP. Instead, 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*
• Once PIG mum lets herself into my room, she hits me with the eye goo and helps me exceedingly slightly with the tops before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after 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 bowl of heated healthy cereal with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and for some reason the PLATE (not the bread itself) very lightly sprinkled with salt (no worries; I just lick the plate clean afterwards 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 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 PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles us off to church; I hike up the ramp clever dad built, use the last cubicle of the normal ladies loo once myself, wash and dry both hands and then grab my usual spot in service. PIG mum bolts upstairs for the Canto service and Aunty Miranda comes to sit beside me~
• Yay I get to  stay seated for worship tpday~ I sing everything, plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Daniel ... Shayesteh? Uncertain how his's surnames spelt. Before conversion, David was some really high-ranking Muslim leader and now he's Christian there's like a price on his head! o_O
• After service ended, I used the loo for another tinkle myself, grabbed one packet of bikkies  and took a seat outside the service hall.
• Today, everybody else enjoyed Vietnamese food for lunch together, dad made me   eat at Hungry Jack's again. *sigh* A junior Whopper with only ten small chips plus an orange juice for me. But dad shook a mini-Drumstick ice cream cone, and we shared that~
• Back home, I used the loo for one more tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely 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 my day, I'll use the loo for one tinkle then sit @ the gobbling :P table to read and wait for PIG mum to feed me some arvo tea. Hopefully she'll lemme shower early since I'm hoping to watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 123RD time.
• Toms: late morning appointment to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture, meaning PIG mum'll help me up. Bet she's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him. XD
• But PIG mum says we'll grocery shop afterwards, expecting to have passed 1000 steps before heading home for lunch    with dearest dad.
• Waiting  for PIG mum to email me the second half of July's  roster so I can check  who's minding me when this week  and  email Michelle asking her to  please fill in all the TBAs for this week  e.g. who's minding me for   two hours toms

Saturday Post 602c

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight!!  Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3407. Sorry, not quite 3.5 grand. Maybe toms. XD Anyways, just briefly final, final events for tonight?

• Used the loo for one tinkle, plopped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin for the 122ND time. All the things I like recording are in today's first post. 
• Uncle Slam and Anna came for dinner tonight; Anna brought BBQ duck and Uncle Slam gave me the drumstick!
• Not only that, BUT PIG mum ALSO made cake! Delicious but weird: the icing was SALTY?!
• Used the loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm; the Slams left shortly afterwards.
• Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. 
• Would love lunch out with other ESS peoples afterwards but expecting a pissy cheeseburger and less than ten chips with dad @ Hungry Jack's. *sigh*
• Also expecting a stressful   arvo  @  the hands of PIG mum. *Another sigh* 
• The Broncos are playing toms but not  until 6:15pm? Seems like  a strange time ...
• Wonder where dad  will take us out for dinner toms night?
• Anyways, hopefully see everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 602b

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3364 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'A Taste Of Hell' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIVE MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. After drinking one full cup of water, I sit over the loo proper.    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 head out to the gobbling :P table with Olivia.
• For breakfast she's fried me my once-weekly   egg and stuck in on one slice of (burnt XD)   toast with one slice of cheese and a lil  avocado. I also drink one full mug of water, pop all my usual drugs :P and enjoy my first big mug of white tea sweetened with one teaspoonful of honey. Since I've not got my new book club novel yet, I read Origin news from my mobile and continue basking in the Maroons' origin glory. XD
• While I use the loo for another tinkle, Liv closes and locks windows. Thanks to her who helps me buckle my seatbelt when I climb into her car's passenger seat (as she kindly does all day) and then she tootles me off to the Logan North library to collect my new book club novel.
• Neither Amanda nor Phil are working this morning. After borrowing the book, Liv tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace, parks round the side and grabs a trolley for us.
• Lol PIG mum didn't need any groceries from Woolies; we literally only grabbed me a honey chicken sushi   roll for arvo tea!
• Back home I take a nice hot fastest shower -  hairwash  today. Also thanks to Olivia who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, Liv makes me a tuna in tomato and onion with TWO cheese, HEAVILY buttered (on the inside XD) and two more big mugs of delicious vanilla chai. Lol, after she makes me the first one, she says scull it down; I do, and when I ask her for one more please, she's like are you already finished?! Meaning I drank the one in one long continuous gulp but took my time over the second~
• I'd hoped to read for thirty minutes before leaving for table tennis with Liv, but PIG mum comes and takes my book away? I just note down that I plan to read for two more minutes after getting home to reach one hour, then use the loo for two more tinkles before getting back   into Liv's car.
• At church, dad immediately shooes Liv away. She's back same time next week; I've reminded her please come punctually. XD
• Aside from playing twice with dad today, I also played once with Uncle Simon! I feel loved: I was only hiking up the ramp to church when he'd already come over and asked me how the competition was; when I said I've got photos to   show him he actually came over while I was taking a break and asked to see them! Dad also took me once to the loo    although I'm unsure why he wanted me to go since I wasn't busting? Doesn't matter~
• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era then sat @ the gobbling :P table, saying sorry to   Aunty Cynthia since I'd totally forgot that she was coming over and helping me make a wedding anniversary present for the parents next month!!
• After  she left, PIG mum FINALLY gave me my book club novel  back and I  happily read that while munching my honey   chicken  sushi roll.  Have read for sixty-five minutes today.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 601

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3221 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'We Experience The Spirit Through Faith'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Knowing The Season You're In" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Serving God Each Season (hey, the two devotions today are related! ^^) but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 122ND time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 7th awesome sleep last night; that's already the 14TH time this year that I've achieved one straight week of awesome sleeps; dare I believe getting TWENTY-FIVE's possible again? It's not happened since 2021! Sure, I remember PIG mum saying nature calling partway through the night doesn't matter and just don't have an accident, but it's cool to achieve another week!
• 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*
• Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am, just before PIG mum  begins her daily  noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. After another pot :P  trip, After  the 2nd pot :P trip, 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*
• Soon,  she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give Elf a very brief rub since she'd ignored my poor foot yesterday. At 9:30pm, she gave me fifteen more minutes, saying fifteen more minutes since unreliable Olivia's AWOL again.  I'll call CODA @ 9:40am and help you up five minutes later.
• Phew, Olivia arrives @ 9:35am! Come 9:45am, when I'm using the pot :P  for one  tinkle before we  get me kitted, I ask her how come she's late? Lol,  she had to buy herself  lunch before she came! XD
• I head over to  the bathroom and brush teeth. After drinking one full cup of water, I sit over the loo proper.  
  
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 601c

 Good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 5941. Aww, sorry, not quite six grand; another day. XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• During and after afternoon tea, I happily read Phoenix Flame for one hour. Today I found the book title on pg.  160, pg. 164, pg. 165 and five times on pg. 169. I finished pg.  175 @ 3:52pm and then found the book title twice on pg.  177 and once more on pg. 186.
• After using the loo for one tinkle I plopped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 121ST time. All the things I like recording are in the first post.
• When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle and 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, some leftover pasta that I'd cooked with Dorrie this arvo topped with a mountain of Choko and not-very-yummy pumpkin.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of pumpkin 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.
• At 8:30pm I had to let PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela on one set of those FitMi exercises for her. Tonight, that took twenty-four minutes. After that I just read and shared Facebook memories for six minutes.
• At 9pm I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: Olivia's minding me 10am till 1:30pm. PIG mum says I can pick up my new book club novel from the Logan North library and then presumably we'll buy groceries from the Underwood Marketplace Woolies and get my arvo tea honey sushi roll.
• Looking forward to playing table tennis with dearest dad @ church~
• Aunty Lucia's coming over and making sth with me? Perhaps the early wedding anniversary for  the parents!
• Think I'll just read for  one/two hours toms  but not three since I'm hoping to watch the 6pm news for the 122ND time!
• Anyways, hope  everyone has a lovely weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 601b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 5789 (so won't quite reach 6000 tonight, sorry XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'God-Watching'. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• Once home, I took a nice hot shower - 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 one yummy tuna in tomato and onion toastie with one huge mug of green tea.
• Before Peggy leaves, I sit over the loo for two more tinkles then sit @ the gobbling :P table and sign her off with my thanks and byes. She's doing her usual weekend work and will come back same time next Friday.
• Once Peggy left, Dorrie came and we cooked some kinda chicken with Chinese fettucine together! Photos are on Facebook~
• Exactly one hour after Dorrie arrived, PIG mum shooed Dorrie away. I took a seat, PIG mum finished the cooking and then gave me one bowl for arvo tea along with one huge mug of peppermint tea
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 603

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 5653 steps (sweet I'm already over half a normal person, that's rare! XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Proud Works Vs. Humble Faith'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Go The Extra Mile' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Life In Christ' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-ONE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 121ST time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Aww, what better way to end the week than with my 6th consecutive awesome sleep? Nature didn't call until the noisy garbage truck THUNDERED down our road and started tipping bins; that woke me, 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 cuddled and snored, me waking once more for the pot :P when dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently along the hallway and unpopped the lock into the garage.
• After dearest dad had kissed me bye, retucked me back into bed and left for Aunty Yvonne's place to continue renovating their house, Daddy Bear and I happily cuddled and snore some more, me waking once more for the pot :P just before nosy PIG mum begins her daily 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, whenever PIG mum can't be bothered giving Elf some attention, Era always will~
• Once PIG mum lets Peggy inside @ 9:30am, Peggy knocks, pushes open the door and announces, "Good morning." When I flop Daddy Bear's paw @ her, she next states "Fifteen more minutes." Another paw flop from Daddy Bear and she wisely leaves, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD Actually, she returned two minutes early and Daddy Bear was tempted to Bear Bum her then and there, but I told him wait, she might not disturb us. And she didn't! XD
• When Peggy returns, I commend her for not disturbing us and incurring Daddy Bear's wrath before using the pot :P for three more tinkles. After we get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who's already squirted me some toothpaste.
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Peggy, who told me that she had her two usual fried eggs for breakfast today.
• For me, breakfast was one bowl of plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with avocado and 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* I also happily watched Today Extra over breakfast but was unaware had Peggy turned it on for me/had PIG mum turned it on herself, since she was eating her own breakfast on the couch.
• After breakfast, Peggy slathered sunscreen over my face before accompanying me back to the bathroom then returned to the kitchen and washed the breakfast dishes. Over the loo proper, 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 passenger seat of Auto (pronounced Alto) and Peggy kindly helps me with my seatbelt before tootling me off to the NAB for physio with Ashleigh. After arriving twenty minutes early, we both happily sit and play with our mobiles for ten minutes before heading upstairs. I use the loo for one tinkle and then Peggy and I sit in the waiting room with other clients and wait for Ashleigh.
• Physio today: Standing reaching for Era at mirror, standing boxing with Ashleigh in front and the Scottish lady behind, 165 cable rows Era, two laps short hallway walking, two big laps walking outside down and up the ramp and eight laps long hallway walking plus some finger tapping exercises for Ela. Next week's our last session together and Ashleigh's off to some hospital's ICU ward next. I've not been invited back for next block and hope they'll not gimme some HEP to do while I'm having a break! XD
• After sitting over the loo for two tinkles Peggy tootled me home. She got a perfect run along the highway hence why Peggy pulled over along Yvonne Rd. before it dips down and we both just played on our mobiles for fifteen minutes before finally getting home.
• 
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• Nine shared dinner tonight; I had the Shandy (unsure how it got that name) and drank three cups of jasmine tea and one glass of water.
• Lol, PIG mum's so exact with the money; I was hoping I'd have fifty cents leftover to get a soft serve from Maccas with but PIG mum checked and said that I'd only twenty cents left! *sigh*
• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and back online, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30am (helping me up), taking me to the NAB for two hours for physio with Ashleigh and then seeing me home and showered before leaving @ like 1:30pm before Dorrie comes and cooks sth with me! Unsure why PIG mum won't pickup my new book club novel for me so I can start reading it, but hey. Will  read the newspaper that Karina bought for me today instead!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing end to the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• Lorraine tootled me off to the pub for our belated Toastmasters changeover function but to the West End one not the Woolongabba one!! >< XD 
• But we arrived @ the correct one @ 7:15pm and immediately ordered dinner! Only seven here last night~
• The roast pork meal with chips (I traded some greens for that) was delicious; I even shook the saltshaker over my chips lotsa times! XD Plus the Yorkshire pudding was ENORMOUS and I love pastry!! :D
• Aarunan left first @ 9:05pm   and we all left shortly after that. Arrived home about three minutes late and Lorraine says I'll see her again next Monday 4-6pm. She's only two months younger than me but already has a seventeen-year-old son! The son lives with her dad over in Zimbabwe and has high-functioning cerebral palsy; apparently the birth was very difficult, and some doctor actually tried to push him outta her tummy? o_O 
• Repeat the usual nightly events and zzz~
• Today: yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night!  Nature didn't call until dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently down the hallway and unpopped the lock into the garage that awoke me; 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 dearest dad kisses me bye, retucks me back into bed and leaves for work   @ Aunty Yvonne's place, Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P when woken by noisy PIG mum's daily   a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly   slightly with only the tops before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• After PIG mum comes back to finish with only Elf's AFO straps and both laces 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's one bowl of warmed healthy cereal and plain porridge with one slice of dried (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and for some reason the PLATE 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 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!
• Just briefly: bought groceries from Warrigal Square Woolies with PIG 🐖 mum and

• Jules helped me up @ 9:45am then took me to Pinelands Coles and we bought groceries before I got my once-weekly crunchy pork  bahn mi from Aunty Lisa, who told me that Aunty Nancy was on holidays! Else the other way around. XD
• Came home, used the loo for one tinkle then enjoyed my crunchy pork  bahn mi   plus a second big mug of vanilla chai for breakfast; just pity Jules couldn't find where sneaky PIG mum had hidden the sweetener. >< XD
• NAB physio with Mandy:  Two laps long hallway walking, twenty transfers from double red mats with right leg lunges to plinth thirty double-leg pushups on tower of power and six 10m walk tests.
• Got home and took a nice hot shower -  hairwash today. Also thanks to Jules who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

Monday Post 602d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3725. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• At 5:40pm, I used the loo once more for two tinkles before signing Angelica off with my thanks and byes. Unsure when I'm seeing again since she's gotta attend the funeral of some former client next time she's looking after me.
• Happily watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 119TH time. All the things I like recording are in today's 2nd post.
• When PIG mum summoned me for dinner around 7:20pm, 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 cos lettuce, lotsa  pumpkin, one small slice of tasteless soup beef, one yucky marinated pork rib and one yummy little ball leftover from hotpot.
• 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.
• At 8:30pm, I let PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela on one set of those FitMi  exercises for her. Tonight, that took twenty-six minutes.
• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: Jules will come @ 9:30am, help me up, take me to Pinelands Plaza to buy groceries from Coles and buy my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi before coming home for lunch then taking me to the NAB for physio with Mandy @ 1pm. She'll see me home and showered before leaving @ 4pm.
• Then, excitement: Lorraine's coming @ 5:30pm and taking me to the pub for our belated changeover function! Fingers crossed pork's the roast of the day, that PIG mum'll  leave me enough for ice cream and Viktor'll shout me a vodka! XD
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  

   

Monday Post 602c

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3637 (ha, I'm over 3.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'What A Friend'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• So a nice hot shower for me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Angelica who rinsed out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo  tea was some fruit, one plain cracker and one delicious huge mug of Ceylon tea, sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar. Also thanks to PIG mum who found me a little piece of heart-shaped chocolate for World Chocolate Day! :D Happiness was reading for one hour; today I found the book title on pg. 173, finished pg. 175 @ 4:19pm, found the book title twice on pg. 177 and finished pg. 200 @ 5:07pm. While I happily   read, PIG mum yapped @ Angelica; wonder why she wasn't upstairs resting?
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 602b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3349 but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTEEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 119TH time!! Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• Once PIG mum finally comes back to finish Elf's AFO straps and both shoelaces, it's 9:45am. That done, I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and 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 was one bowl of warmed Special K cereal mixed with porridge and one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mouthful 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!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car. Amazingly, she HELPS me with my seatbelt before tootling me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage.
• At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle and then lie down for some massage and acupuncture from Ray. Lol, PIG mum was that excited @ getting to yap, she'd already repeated one syllable SEVEN times before I'd even laid down! XD As usual, my favourite was the shoulder CPR~
• After one more tinkle, PIG mum tootled me back to Warrigal Square and we bought groceries from Woolies before returning home for lunch with dearest dad.
• Bettina had already arrived for her once-weekly clean when we got home; lunch may have been more leftover yummy turnip cake and one huge mug of green tea?
• After finishing lunch, I happily play Royal Match for thirty minutes since I've suddenly been given thirty minutes' free lives! XD
• After using the loo for one tinkle (thanks to Bettina who gave me a hand there to and back since she'd just mopped the floor and 'twas slippery) I plopped online. Aww, Bettina's really sweet: she's said QLD can win the Origin decider this Wednesday coz poor Cameron Munster (our captain)'s dad just passed away~ XD
• When Angelica announced her arrival precisely @ 3:45pm, both PIG mum and I went and answered the door.
• S

Monday Post 602

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2583 steps (ha, I'm literally just over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John piper's devotional topic from last night's 'How Christ Conquered Bitterness'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Why Can't We Work Together (4)?' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Growing Up In God' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after Angelica leaves @ 5:30pm!! Anyways, events for today?

• Aww, what better way to begin the week with my 2nd consecutive awesome sleep? Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 7:15am and like yesterday, after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep again, in case dearest dad left for work @ Aunty Yvonne's place @ 7:45am again~
• Instead, I don't wake for the  pot :P until one hour later, when dearest dad very thoughtfully walks silentlyy along the hallway and unpops the lock into the garage! Following another 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 dearest dad's kissed me bye, retucked me back into bed and left for work @ Aunty Yvonne's place, Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore for about another hour, me waking once more for the pot :P following PIG mum's noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with just the tops (bra strap, tee and jumper) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• When I call out  and inform  PIG mum that I've already mostly kitted myself and  will she please come and finish with Elf's AFO straps and both laces since it's already 9:45am and I don't wanna be back inside my room for bed less than twelve hours after I've exited it, since hat will feel like I've  wasted the  entire day she  calls back  wait.
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Sunday Post 602c

 Good evening again   and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 1941. Aww, sorry, not quite two grand. Maybe toms. XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• Back home, I walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: PIG mum'll help me up, since I've got a late morning appointment to see Ray for some acupuncture. Bet she's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him; me, I'm gonna ask him how's Jennifer celebrating her birthday for the entire MONTH? XD
• PIG mum's said that she'll take me grocery shopping afterwards before we come home for lunch with dearest dad (who's back @ Aunty Yvonne's place renovating it) so I'm expecting I'll have passed 1000 steps.
• Angelica's minding me from 3:30pm till 5:30pm; looking forward to reading Phoenix Flame for one hour! Oh, did I already say? Angelica gifted me some book she thought I'd like reading today! Actually, gifted/lent ... can't remember which; must ask toms. XD
• Also looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 119TH time!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday post 602b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 1861 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Jesus ... After The Anger'. Righteo,  continuing tonight's events?

• Once the news ended, after the parents called dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era and then sat outside the garage waiting for the parents to get ready.
• Like previous Sundas, we had our once-weekly family dinner from Ho Lin Wah. Tonight, I got barely one bowl of rice, about four 'cheung fun') (say that in Canto; maybe they're called rice noodle rolls in English) and drank one cup of Chinese tea, one mouthful of  water, half the  cup  of hot  soyabean milk and just over one mouthful of the hot HK-style milk  tea. Shock of the week: the younger waitress came over and told us that Debbie's left, since the Thai place she also  works @ in Eight Street  @ Garbo has offered her some fulltime position! Cripes, I'll always remember  Debbie as the meat sauce with rice waitress; the new waitress hired to replace doesn't speak Canto I don't think so hopefully I'll not ever need her to please read out the set meals for me! XD
  Cheers.Em.   ^^

Sunday Post 602

 Good afternoon! First1y, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1561 steps (ha, I'm just over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Give God Your Revenge'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Why Can't We Work Together (3)? and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Choices And Consequences' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed 'IFTEEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 118TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:05am, 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 had fallen asleep again when noisy PIG mum's daily a-THUMPING around upstairs around 7:45am wakes me for another pot :P trip. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before returning outside and awaiting Angelica's arrival @ 8am.
• After PIG mum lets Angelica inside @ 8am, Angelica knocks, opens the door and cheerfully calls out, "Good morning, Em!" When I flop Daddy Bear's arm @ her, she next squeals "Oh, hi, bear!"  before adding, "You want more time, right?" Another paw flop from Daddy Bear and she thankfully removes herself, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
• When Angelica returns, I sit up, bid her good morning and warn her that she forgot to give us fifteen more minutes; today I'll get up right away since I can't be late for the competition, but should she forget again next time; I'll send her away for another fifteen more minutes. XD
• After I sat over the pot :P for one more tinkle, we got me kitted, before Angelica headed over with me to the bathroom where I brushed teeth before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I headed out to the gobbling :P table with Angelica.
• Breakfast was one bowl of plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) bread lightly spread with avocado and 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, Angelica walks back with me to the bathroom and then returns to the kitchen and washes up my breakfast stuff. Over the loo proper, 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 passenger seat of Angelica's car, with dearest dad walking behind me and wishing me good luck for the competition today. Angelica kindly helps me with my seatbelt and then we're off! Originally, I'd hoped she would grab us Maccas for breakfast but instead, she bought me one coffee bun from Pappa Roti (she already had two herself) and said we could get bubble tea and KFC before going home, score! 
• At Wynnum Table Tennis, I transfer into Sparkless3, and we wheel me up the ramp before I hike down the stairs that lead onto the playing floor. That's right; I was here last year, and they've not got any disabled/ambulant toilets. *sigh*
• For my first match, I play against Matty; after he wins the first set, I rally to win the next three sets and take the match! 
• After that Angelica fed me the biggest slice of Kim's delicious chocolate cake that she could find, even though the pieces were pre-cut and roughly the same size. XD 
• Only for my next two matches I lost in straight sets: first to Nicole and then to Gary! *cringe*
• Nicole's mum and dad made our salad rolls for lunch; I chose ham and said no beetroot please but lotsa mayo and had all the other salad, i.e. lettuce, tomato and carrot.
• For doubles I paired with Chris (not the older one but the 25yo from Redlands who seems perfectly normal) and we WON! 
• One more hike down the stairs for the bathroom before Angelica tootled me home after stopping for bubble tea and KFC~
• Got home and took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Angelica 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, two/three small tasty round crackers and one big mug of delicious Ceylon tea sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar. Angelica cleaned the bathroom and then sent me all the photos she took while I played table tennis today; gosh, she took like HUNDREDS!
• At 3:55pm I sat over the loo once more for two tinkles before signing Angelica off with my thanks and byes @ 4pm.
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 118TH time!
• Toms: seeing Ray for some massage and acupuncture @ 11am. Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him.
• Will buy groceries with her afterwards before returning home for lunch with dearest dad.
• Angelica's minding me from   3:30pm till 5:30pm.
• Fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news for the 119TH time!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• Once I'd used up the most important two hours of the day, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat @ the gobbling :P table to enjoy my honey chicken sushi roll and read hopefully read until 7:15pm since it's only Saturday's that I get to spend a blessed three hours reading.

• When the Slams arrived for dinner, I noted down that I hoped to read for thirteen more minutes after dinner and used the loo for one tinkle before sitting down.
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa cos lettuce, one slice of tasty soft beef and three delicious chunks of chicken that Anna prepared.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup then I happily read for thirteen more minutes, finding the book title on pg. 165 and four times on pg. 169. For some reason PIG mum sent me back to the computer to read? Just super-happy that I spent a blessed three hours reading today~
• Righteo, 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 Sunday ahead!
  Cheers,

Saturday Post 602

 Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total from Friday's actually 4114 (sweet I'm over four grand; that doesn't happen too often!); secondly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's 'Not One Ray Of Light'; thirdly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3781 steps (so unsure will I reach 4000 steps before Saturday's out?); fourthly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'When Will I Be Satisfied?'; fifthly, TWFT topic's 'Why Can't We Work Together? (2)' and sixthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Granda's Last Night". Anyways, let's start off with last night's events first!

• While I happily  watched the   6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 117TH time, the parents started having dinner (hotpot) without me. Once the news, finished, I asked for permission to join; that given, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat down @ the gobbling :P to wolf down dinner:  rice with leftover hotpot stuff from the parents.
• Skipping soup, I quickly sat on the sofa and waited for coverage of the Broncos and Bulldogs game to begin! Dunno why dad refused me permission to raise the footrest until kickoff, but no biggie.
• Eep we ended the first half trailing eighteen-nil, but like I messaged Uncle Colbert, that difference isn't insurmountable; we just haveta score several goals and keep them scoreless!
• The Broncos WON! :D Meaning I watched the post-match before hitting the sack. Zzz~
• Today: lol, I didn't score a 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night, since nature called @ 12:45pm! I was prolly just too excited from   watching the Broncos play last night. XD
• Following another pot :P trip once the Sun had risen, 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 when dearest dad comes to kiss me bye and retuck me back into   bed before leaving for work @ Aunty Yvonne's place.
• Daddy Bear and I continue cuddling and snoring, me waking once more for the pot :P when 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 before going back outside and awaiting Olivia's arrival. While she's gone, 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*
• Only suddenly PIG mum reenters my room, snaps "Olivia didn't come" and tosses me the home phone, ordering I call CODA. I leave a message and then PIG mum helps me up. Phew, CODA calls back and says Catherine's coming   @ 11am!
• I brush teeth, drink one full cup of water and then sit over the loo proper. 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 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's my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast with a very thin layer of avocado, my first big mug of white tea sweetened with one big spoonful of honey, all my usual drugs :P and one huge mug of water.
• When Catherine arrives, PIG mum lets her in, bitches @ her for a while about how unreliable Olivia is, and finally lets us leave.
• Firstly, Catherine takes me to church to play table tennis! I not only play with dad but her and Uncle Simon too! Uncle Simon tells me that I've got a natural backhand and don't be   nervous when competing toms!
• Catherine comes with me once to the loo in between us playing; when we really leave she tootles us to Underwood MarketPlace,  she grabs a trolley for us and we buy groceries @ Woolies before getting my arvo tea sushi roll.
• Back home, I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Catherine who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Less than   thirty minutes left, so just   briefly: dried, creamed and rekitted,  Catherine cooked this HUGE portion  of delicious turnip cake that I'd helped PIG mum make last night and made me two  more big mugs of white tea with one big spoonful of honey. PIG mum came home and screeched I'd eaten her half of lunch too.  XD Must be why I'm 'happy full'. 
• After I've used up the most important two hours of the day I'll use the loo for one tinkle, sit and eat my honey chicken arvo  tea sushi roll   and  read until I've read for three hours today; willing to skip  the news for that!
• Toms:  instead of church, Angelica's taking me to the next table tennis competition! Mostly I'm just looking forward to chocolate cake. XD She's with me till   4pm so I'll  shower before she  leaves.
• Wonder  will  I get the chance to  read for another hour toms?
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else looking  forward to seeing   everyone @ church come  Sunday!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Friday Post 602

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3814 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "Good News: God's Happy"; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Why Can't We Work Together? (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Christ Offers'. Anyways, events for today?

• Aww, what better way to end the week than with my 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night? Nature didn't  call until  7:05am 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*
• Thirty minutes later, Daddy Bear and I had already fallen back asleep together when suddenly dearest dad comes to kiss me bye and retuck me back into   bed before heading over to Aunty Yvonne's place for work!
• Daddy Bear and I continued our happy cuddling and snoring, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am, shortly before noisy PIG mum began her daily 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 Peggy's arrival @ 9:30am.
• Once PIG mum lets Peggy inside, Peggy knocks, opens the door and announces good morning. When Daddy Bear flops a paw @ her, she next states fifteen more minutes. Another paw flop from Daddy Bear and Peggy thankfully removes herself, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear   Bum.   XD
• When Peggy returns, I sit over the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who's already   squirted some toothpaste for me.
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P  table with Peggy, rousing @ her for skipping breakfast but forgiving her when she says she's got two hardboiled eggs inside her car and will eat them for breakfast while I'm doing physio. XD
• Breakfast for me: one bowl of plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread with avocado and 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, Peggy slathers sunscreen over me, walks with me back to the bathroom and then returns to the kitchen to washup my breakfast dishes. Over the loo proper, 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 passenger seat of Auto (pronounced Alto) and Peggy tootles me off to UQ for physio   after kindly helping me with my seatbelt.
• Since we arrive super-early, we actually sit and play with our mobiles for twenty minutes before catching the lift up to level two. After sitting over the loo for one tinkle I   take a seat in the waiting room. When I first entered it, the Canto elderly man I met last week immediately says (in Canto) Jol sun, Emily!" I reply jol sun myself then add, "Hol dong ah!!" XD
• Physio with Ashleigh today for two hours: 600 punches for both hands while standing, stepping for Erf with left weight shift, walking over uneven surfaces with both feet and ten laps long hallway walking.
• After sitting over the loo for two more tinkles, Peggy tootled me home. Actually, we arrived home so early Peggy just pulled over along Yvonne Rd. before the road curved down and we both just played with our mobiles for fifteen minutes?
• Back home I took a sizzling hot shower - 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, Peggy makes me one salmon in tomato and onion toastie with TWO cheese, HEAVILY buttered (on the inside, lest PIG mum return and see) cut into EIGHT little rectangles!  Lunch was washed down with one huge mug oof delicious vanilla chai but just pity Peggy couldn't find where sneaky PIG mum had hidden the sweetener! ><  *sigh*
•  At 1:55pm I sit over the loo for   two tinkles and then sign Peggy off with my   thanks and byes. Think she's back same time next week~
• PIG mum let Syn inside when she announced her arrival. Poor thing, she's been away for the past fortnight since she had some virus, but western medicine didn't cure her? Lucky Chinese herbal medicine did!
• Ela did one hour of unfunctional hand exercises with her using the FitMi. After choosing some kinda fried chicken recipe for cooking with Dorrie next Friday, Syn finished with Ela grasping a plastic cup. Ela can get her fingers to the cup without problem; it's the getting thumb around the cup part that she's got difficulty with? Actually, Syn discussed helping me find paid work;  I'm aware PIG mum's totally against it, but I'm willing for any chance to get off the disability pension and start contributing to society!
• After Syn left, PIG mum fed me some fruit, three little round crackers and one huge mug of green tea for  arvo tea. Skipped reading for one hour since I'd not have time to enjoy the entirety of my most important two hours of the day online.
• Arvo tea munched, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly   and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• When nature randomly called @ 5:25pm I walked myself slowly and safely again to the loo for one tinkle and back, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 117TH time! When that starts, I'll call upstairs and remind PIG mum to please have dinner ready for me @ 7pm, once I finish watching the news, I'll use the loo for one tinkle, wolf down dinner and be seated on the couch @ 7:30pm ready to watch the Broncos play the Bulldogs! Like I said last night, I'm happy whoever wins: Brisbane's my home team but I've cheered for Canterbury ever since I started attending Canterbury College!
• Toms: Olivia's minding me from 9:30am till 1pm; I've not seen her for a while! Presuming we'll buy groceries from Underwood MarketPlace plus my arvo tea sushi roll, come home for a shower and lunch before Olivia drops me off @ table tennis with dearest dad @ 1pm.
• Planning to spend three hours reading toms; Saturday's the only day when that's possible and I'll pass watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 118TH time for that!
• Anyways, hopefully  bbl after dinner else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• After publishing the previous post, I read and shared the She Reads Truth devotional then read and shared some Facebook memories.
• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

Thursday Post 602

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2989 steps (so will definitely have passed three grand before the day's out). secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'How Well Do You Know God?'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Knowing When Not To Speak' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Jesus - Our Everything'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! I'm taking that as a good omen to end the week toms. XD Nature didn't call until 7:35am 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 were cuddling, and I was waiting to fall back asleep when suddenly dearest dad comes to kiss me bye and retuck  me  back into bed @ 7:45am before for renovation work @ Aunty Yvonne's place!
• Daddy Bear and I happily   cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P just before noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eyegoo and give poor Elf's ankle a very brief rub since she'd totally ignored the poor foot last night.
• After PIG mum lets Karina inside, Karina knocks, pushes open the door and says "Good Emily; hitting the snooze button for fifteen more minutes ..." Daddy Bear flops a paw @ her and she wisely removes herself, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum.  XD
• When Karina returns, I use the pot :P for three more tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who's squirted some toothpaste for me. Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table with Karina, rousing @ her for again not eating any breakfast this morning! >< XD
• For my breakfast, I slurp one bowl of plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with avocado and 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, Karina walks behind me back to the bathroom then returns to the kitchen and washes up the breakfast stuff for me. Over the loo proper, 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 passenger seat of Karina's car and she tootles me off to Breathe. Thanks to her who kindly helped me with my seatbelt all day.
• Physio today: 1.85km bike ride, 36 bar pushups, 36 steps for Erf with left weight shift, 36 v-cable rows for both hands, 36 leg extensions for Elf, 36 leg curls for Elf, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing!
• Afterwards, Karina tootled me home and I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Karina who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, I sat outside and blow-dry my hair while Karina cleaned the bathroom.
• Then, after using the loo9 for one tinkle, Karina tootled me off to Mum's Wok to meet Pastor Grace and Reverend Chris for our once-termly lunch! We arrived around the same time~
• But turns out Mum's Wok's CLOSED every Thursday! o_O
• Since we were all hungry and couldn't be bothered finding another place for lunch, we just ate @ The Noodle Club next door! only Reverend Chris had super-wide ho fan; Pastor Grace and I both had rice. XD I just drank a lemon iced tea but PIG mum says she'll gimme a powdered packet of HK-style milk tea for arvo tea~ At 1:30pm I signed Karina off with my thanks and byes; she's back around 8am next Thursday and taking me to GCCW~
• Over lunch, Pastor Chris and Reverend Chris told me how they're considering high schools for Naomi and also how they're going to Japan/Singapore for the next holidays!
• After lunch the Lungs dropped me back home, I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Once I've used up the mosat important two hours of my day, I'll use the loo for one tinkle then sit and read Phoenix Flame for one hour while munching  arvo tea.
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 116TH time!
• Tonight's ice cream night, yay! Like I say every week, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Toms: Peggy's coming @ 8am and taking me to the NAB for two hours' physio with Ashleigh.
•  Peggy'll  see me home and showered before leaving @ 1:30pm/2pm and then Sun's coming to give Ela one hour of unfunctional exercises.
• Will prolly   skip reading for one hour   and pop online right after eating arvo tea since I'm hoping to watch the 6pm news for the 117TH time, wolf down dinner and be seated on the couch watching the Broncos play come Friday!
• Anyways, hopefully  bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing end to   the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
