Sunday Post 526b

 Heylo again, good afternoon again and potentially one final greeting for today! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 4015. Ha, I'm just over four grand; that doesn't happen very often! XD Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• Speaker today was Tyvus with a sermon from the Living It Upside Down series and service ended thirteen minutes early like.
• After dad collected me, I used the disabled loo myself for one tinkle then sat outside the service hall since dad had already grabbed some morning tea for me!
• During morning tea break, dear Aunty Anne gifted me a Minion keyring (<3 the Minions!!) and Happy came to tell me that she was gonna celebrate her mum's 80TH birthday tonight; I told her make sure you get her a proper 80TH card since they're available for the special decade birthdays!
• While everybody else shared lunch @ the Sunnybank Plaza food court (our old haunt back in the days of AIC!) dad made me eat lunch with him @ Hungry JUack's again. *sigh* A cheeseburger for me (I'm not a fan of the Hungry Jack's cheeseburgers since they contain mustard) about fourteen chips, one small orange juice, two sips of disgusting coffee and like two chomps of the mini-Drumstick ice cream cone that dad shook on his Hungry Jack's app!
• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle 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.
• After Gabby arrived, dad ordered we not leave for another thirty minutes? No biggie, I just stayed online until 2pm and then used the loo for one tinkle before climbing into the passenger seat of Gabby's car.
• Unfortunately, all the disabled parks were taken but Gabby eventually found a park somewhere and I bought groceries. Note to self: must ask dad for coins next time; we couldn't get a trolley since they require coins to unlock but dad had only given me notes and Gabby only had a card!
• 
  
• Groceries bought, Gabby tootled us back around to the other side of Underwood MarketPlace,  this time parking almost directly across from Moomi Tea.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news (Nine's, read by Mia Glover) for the 230TH time: Ha-teya (first name),  Gripske, Seferovic, Blenkinsop, Kyrrie (first name), Keir (first name), Starmer, Becker, Trump (heard), Albanese (heard), Beasley,Greer, Rix, Labuschagne, Netanyahu,, Bolsonaro, Crooks, Hoekstra, Weatherald, Rockcliff, Djodan, Head (heard), Colvin,  Barnes, Cebrano (heard), Kearsley, Piastri  (heard), Verstappen (heard),Dowling, Wilson, Labuschagne, Renshaw, Khawaja, Whitlock, Vieira, Todhunter, Vines, Van Lunteren, Packer, Chopper Tsimpikas, Littleproud, Starcevich, Cotter, Inventor Croucher, Forrest, Stokes, Woolf, Lyon, Fraser, Finocharrio and Youngberry.  Adam Jackson  read the sports report andGarry Youngberry read the weather report from the Roma Street Parklands.

Sunday Post 526

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2043 steps (ha, I'm just over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Kewy To Spiritual Maturity'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'God Wants To Work Through You (3)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Our Worth In Christ' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTEEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's)  for the 231ST time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Strange that nature called twice after midnight and not just once but hey, no biggie.
• Following another pot :P trip after the Sun's rising,  I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh* .Actually, since PIG mum’s overseas holidaying, I’m using the time to recharge my mental batteries and prepare for another year with her @ the helm! XD
• Around 7:25am dearest dad lets himself into my room to kiss me good morning and gimme some eye goo, saying fifteen more minutes now and you can have ten more minutes after Jane arrives.
• When Jane comes into my bedroom for the second time, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle and then we get me kitted before I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That down, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table with Jane, who told me that she slurped a breakfast smoothie for breakfast this morning!
• For my breakfast I get one bowl of healthy cereal 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, Jane covers my face and hands with sunscreen then walks behind me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast dishes up. Over the loo, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 526c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3892. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I read and shared Facebook memories for five 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: Jane's coming back to help me up @ 7:30am! Lol when I said bye to her this arvo after she dropped me off @ church  for table tennis she'd originally said cya Wednesday but Michelle never replied the email I sent her last week asking her to fill in this week's TBAs; I rang CODA on-call and told Trish she'd better find me someone to help me up toms since I'm attending  church and I'm not gonna let dad help me with a bra!! >< XD She rang back during dinner and said Sarah was coming; phew! Will definitely remember profuse thankyous tomorrow!
• Expecting a mouthful with dad @ Hungry  Jack's  for lunch  but fingers crossed he'll lemme buy a bubble tea with Gabby for arvo tea @ Underwood Marketplace!
• She'll leave @ 6:30pm; fingers crossed dad will take us out for dinner toms night together!
• Anyways, looking forward to  seeing  everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  

   

Saturday Post 526b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3758 (so sorry, won't reach four grand tonight XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'A Good Wife' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed SIX MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, events for today?

• I've forgotten what time nature called last night but after one pot :P trip   this morning following the Sun's rising, 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*

•  Falling back asleep with Mini Pearl, nature calls twice more before Jane announces her arrival @ 9:30am. After dad lets her in, she knocks, opens the door and bids me good morning. When I nod Minim Pearl back @ her she says she'll come help me up after fifteen more minutes, okay?  Mini Pearl nods again before flicking his body 'shoo' @ her; Jane smirks and wisely leaves even though Pearl's anatomically of giving the Bear Bum! Oh, after one pot :P trip before Jane arrived, 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*

• When Jane returns, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. After drinking one tall 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 Jane.

• Breakfast is my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast with one full mug of water, my first mug of white tea sweetened with two sugars and all my usual drugs. :P Despite dad's persistence to hurry up and leave, I read for thirty minutes first up. 

• After one more tinkle, I climb into the passenger seat of Jane's car and she tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace, parking outside the front. Thanks muchly to her who kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt all day.

• Jane grabs a trolley for us and then we buy the groceries dad wants. Jane doesn't have any groceries that need buying today.

• Our other stop before heading home's the sushi place to buy my honey chicken sushi roll for arvo tea.  Jane just told me to lean against the counter while she bought it.

• Back home, I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Jane who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

• Dried, creamed and rekitted lunch is one bowl of leftover fried rice. Thanks to Jane for two more big mugs of white tea with two teaspoonfuls of sugar. 

• Feels like I'm leaving earlier and earlier every week to play table tennis with dad? Before going, I sit over the loo once for two more tinkles.

• Also, only dad and I played today? Unsure where everyone else was but I took a loo break during play and afterwards sat in on the Christmas choir rehearsal and harmonised along with the carols I knew~

• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat down to read for a good long while, since it's only Wednesdays that I can spend a blessed three hours reading~ Today I reached pg. 175 @ 3:54pm and reached pg. 200 @ exactly 4:44pm!

• After one tinkle I plopped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 230TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.

• Once the news ended, I called out and asked dad to please summon me when dinner was ready, repeating the reminder @ 7:15pm.

• When dad summoned me over for dinner @ 7:19pm, 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: leftover fried rice blanketed with a mound of boiled lettuce and soup carrot.

• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup and supper was one chunk of dad's piece of toast; after taking the bowl over to the sink then fetching the phone from my bedroom, 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.

• Righteo, hopefully brb after one last loo trip @ 9pm  with my  final,  final plodding total  for today, the final, final events for  tonight plus what's happening  Sunday, else looking forward to  seeing everyone @ church  toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 526c

 Good evening again!  Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ exactly 1111 (nice number and ha, I'm over one grand! XD Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• Back home, I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Sylvia 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 and one plain rice cracker. Happiness was reading the book club novel for one hour; today I finished pg. 125 @ 3:28pm and reached pg. 150 @ 3:58pm. Have I said before? It takes me two minutes to read one page from this book.
• At 3:30pm I signed Sylvia off with my thanks and byes. After reading for one hour, I used the loo for one tinkle and plopped online. Uncles started appearing for dinner.
• At 6pm I used the loo for one tinkle then sat @ the gobbling :P table awaiting dinner.
• Clever dad made his special duck! I proudly announced that I helped him make it since I painted the duck with soya sauce. XD
• Tonight, there was also broccoli, Chinese mushroom and maybe even some steamed fish? Everyone drank wine but dearest dad just poured me some fizzy drink and lemme steal one sip of his disgusting wine.  XD
• 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, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Only I returned to the gobbling :P table upon hearing there was cheesecake and Chinese tea!
• The cheesecake was store-nought from Uncle Wallace (Sara Lee, I'm guessing?) and I even got seconds!
• Dessert devoured, again I excused myself and 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.

• It's only 8:30pm now but the uncles are already leaving! Guess they're all early risers and early sleepers! XD
• 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  weekeend ahead!

Friday Post 526b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 996 (so promise I'll have cracked one grand before the night's out XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Sounds Of Thanksgiving Part 2'. Righteo,  continuing  today's events?

• I'm impressed with the accessibility; there's plenty of disabled parks available plus ramp access! We bump into some coordinator on the way in, and once inside (thank goodness for aircon) we're immediately given stick nametags.
• Immediately I head towards the craft table; we're making houses! I choose the BIGGEST trunk base (for dearest dad) and then glue down various ornaments~
• Afterwards, Sylvia and I pick a table to sit at. How embarrassing:  I initially don't recognise Jane! *cringe* XD She's there with a non-verbal patient who's wheelchair-bound and needs feeding.
• Karina joins our table! Her client's an able-bodied man; wonder what his disability is?
• Aww I don't win any of the three rounds of bingo played! The first round was just one line; the second round called for two lines and the final round required the top and bottom lines! But Jane and her client won one round!
• Sylvia took me once to the loo before we joined the line for lunch: 'twas a roast! Chicken, pork and turkey! I remembered to get some roast potatoes, roast carrots and roast broccoli; I also asked for lotsa gravy and Jane grabbed me a few pieces of crackling, yum!
• Best of all, there was even dessert! I chose the mud cake and Sylvia chose the pavlova; I offered to swap some, but Sylvia just said no thanks and gave me some pavlova anyway!
• And that was the party! Some awards were given along with claps; when we left Michelle said she looked forward to receiving my XMas Greeting! I've not even thought about penning them yet but they're due out Dec. 11th!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 526

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding only 856 steps (since I've used Sparkless3 today but hopefully I've reached 1000 before the night's out XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's "Five Reason's Death's Gain"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'God Wants To Work Through You (1) and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'God Watches Over Us' but fifthly and way most importantly,  I'm really still owed FORTY-FOURMINUTES online  after dinner tonight!! Anyways, events for today?

• Aww, was hoping for an awesome sleep last night considering I'd walked more steps usual, but nature still randomly called around 12:45am! *sigh* Never mind; 'twas a sound sleep aside from that~
• After another pot :P trip following the Sun's rising, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh* .Actually, since PIG mum’s overseas holidaying, I’m using the time to recharge my mental batteries and prepare for another year with her @ the helm! XD
• Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P when dearest dad lets himself into my room, kisses me good morning and gives me some eye goo.
• After dad lets the new carer in, they knock and say good morning. After I nod Mini Pearl @ them, dad says Sylvia will help me up in fifteen more minutes, okay? This time, Mini Pearl just flicks 'shoo' @ them and they thankfully leave; phew, since Mini Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
• Aww, Sylvia actually knocks after fifteen minutes and asks am I ready for her to come inside and help me up yet? I was tempted to feign sleep but decided against it, since I was attending the CODA Christmas party today!
• I sit up, introduce myself and use the pot :P for one more tinkle before we get me kitted. I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth, sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table with Sylvia.
• Breakfast is one dry (no honey) Weet-Bix sprinkled lightly with some bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-) and Minus :P with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast 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, Sylvia covers both arms and my face with sunscreen then accompanies me back to the bathroom then returns to the kitchen and washes the breakfast stuff up. Over the loo, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Sylvia's car, she kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt and then she tootles me off to the Mt. Gravatt Bowls club for the CODA Christmas party!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 526b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's probable final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 5636 (sweet I'm more than half a normal person today) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Faith Over Feelings'. Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• After enjoying my most important two hours online of the day, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat @ the gobbling: p table to read for one hour and munch  arvo  tea.
• Only I hadn't read for very long when dad suddenly decided he needed to go to Uncle Colbert's and demanded I come with! "Dad I can't!" I protested. "I'm already wearing pajamas!" Dad just sticks an extra top over me and orders I come with anyway.
• Only Aunty Winnie's there too and in a chatty mood! I pause the reading and oblige; also, apologising profusely that I'm not decent (no bra and already wearing pajamas) but she's a sweetheart and waves it away saying I can't see anything.
• Then I mix up Uncle  Colbert with Sam! I   take  after dad  and have terrible facial  recognition; Uncle Colbert wasn't directly facing me and they've got  similiar buils; I just glanced and presumed it was Sam!! >< Uncle Colbert  was delighted. XD
• Back home, I used the loo once then  happily watched the news.

• All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's, read by Melissa Fownes and Joel Dry) for the 229TH time: Jackson, McKeown, Douglass, Haq-teya (first name, heard), Gripske (heard), Cavallaro, Cresta (first  name), ichardson, Rawlings, Taufua, Zimmer (heard), Faucett (heard), Bavas, Irving, Crisafulli, D’Alessandro, Miles, Bleijie, Watt, Croucher, McIntosh, Hanson-Young, Nicholls (heard), Djodan, Swann, Haddin, Hunter,  Khawaja (heard), Wood (heard),  Tedesco (heard),Green (heard), Webster (heard), Guan,Labuschahne (heard),Urban (heard),Train (heard), Dare (heard)Geran,   Mooney, Balme,Trump, Zeke (first name), Jakob (heard), Funk (heard),Patterson,Grant (heard), Tonkin,Portman, Makenna (first name), Baily,O’Connor,Weidler (heard),Epstein and Zahos.

Brisbane toms: 21-30.

  
  
• Toms: CODA Christmas party!!   :D Christmas parties are one of   my most  favourite things about Christmas and hopefully I'll attend several this year!
• Michelle emailed me saying Sylvia's taking me but the roster says Jane? Doesn't matter; provided I attend and get personal care support afterwards; doesn't matter who comes! 
• Lol I may even get outta OT toms (so won't mention it. XD)
• Anyways,  hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a  smashing end to the week toms!

Thursday Post 627

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4868 steps (so will hopefully reach half a normal person before the day's out XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'We All Need Help'; thirdly, TWFT topic's '7 Worry-Conquering Scriptures' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Imposter Syndrome'. Anyways, events for today?

• Unsurprising I didn't have an awesome night's sleep last night; I couldn't reach PIG mum!! >< Nature called once around 12:30am; after another pot :P trip following  the Sun's rising, 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*
• Nature calls again around 9am, shortly before dearest dad comes into my room and gives me some eye goo.
• After Karina arrives @ 7:30am, she knocks, pushes open the door and says, "Good morning, Emily, hitting the snooze button for fifteen more minutes ..." Mini Pearl nods @ her and she wisely removes herself; phew, since he's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
• When Karina comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, 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 and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Karina, grousing @ her for AGAIN skipping breakfast. >< XD
• Breakfast is one bowl of healthy cereal (Weet-Bix and Minus :P) with one slice of thick-cut toast spread with avocado and sprinkled with salt, one full cup of water, all my usual drugs :P and one cup of white tea with two teaspoonfuls of sugar. 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 accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing up the breakfast stuff. Over the loo, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Karina's car and she tootles me off to Breathe. Thanks to her who kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt both ways.
• Aww, I feel loved: Connor came out and greeted me when I entered the business! Usually, Connor ignores me unless I've got my monthlies and then he comes sniffing since he smells the blood. XD
• Physio   today: twenty-eight lap walsking, 3.542km bike ride, forty step-ups for Erf with left weight shift, forty v-bar cable rows with both hands, forty leg extensions for Elf, forty leg curls for Elf and boxing! Plus seven minutes Elf popliteal fossa massage and three minutes theragun!
• After one loo trip (I think CZ258 unlocks the female toilet and I use the ambulant cubicle) Karina tootled me home and I took a nice warm 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, lunch was one yummy tuna in tomato and onion toasted sandwich with TWO cheese and one massive mug of white tea sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar.
• At 1:15pm I signed Karina off with my thanks and byes; she's back next Thursday but I'll see her @ the CODA Christmas party toms!
• Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day I'll use the loo for one tinkle then head over to the gobbling :P table to munch  arvo tea and read for one hour.
• Tonight's ice cream night, yay! Dad gives slightly more than mother does. XD
• Toms: Jane's down to mind me from 9:30am till 4pm but Michelle emailed yesterday saying  Sylvia's taking me to the CODA Christmas party! Unsure why Christmas parties are starting in November, but fingers crossed for a proper meal @ the sports club and that I'll win a prize hamper! Also hope Jane/Sylvia will see me showered before leaving and hopefully I'll skip OT?  XD 
• Anyways, hopefully bbl  else wishing everyone a smashing end to  the week  toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle and Jane made me a tomato and onion tuna toastie with TWO cheese cut into four squares for lunch plus another big mug of   English breakfast tea although sadly without sweetener. I signed her off with my thanks and byes @ midday but she's back @ 1:30pm and taking me to table tennis!

• When dad called dinner @ 7:36pm, I used the loo for one tinkle, took off my bra, washed and dried Era then walked myself slowly and safely over to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Yet another tasteless dinner: rice, lotsa boiled lettuce, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup tomato, lotsa soup onion, two small chunks of salmon and three soup bones that dad demanded I eat first.

Tuesday Post 626b

! Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Since I've not moved since publishing the previous post, lemme just continue today's events?

• Phew there's a disabled park available for us today; Peggy finds a trolley and then we both buy groceries. Vicki was the lovely checkout lady who scanned our items today~
• Our other stop was Pinelands Bakehouse, where the uncle warmed my crunchy pork  bahn mi for me.
• Back home, I use the loo for one tinkle then sit @ the gobbling :P table and enjoy my crunchy pork bahn mi plus another huge mug oof vanilla chai (sadly unsweetened) for lunch.
• Usually we leave for UQ @ 12:30pm; unsure why Peggy insisted we leave @ 12:25pm (oh, she said the traffic was really bad but turned out fine) but after arrival had a whole quarter-HOUR to play mobile since I don't head into the building until 12:50pm.
• Physio with Tam today: Standing reaching for Era with left and forward weightshift,  stepping for Erf with left and forward weightshift,  twenty double leg squats on tower of power for both legs and thirty single leg squats on tower of power for Elf.
• After sitting over the loo for one tinkle, Peggy tootled me home and I took a nice warm 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, arvo tea was one deliciously juicy pear, one plain cracker with one slice of cheese on the top and one more big mug of vanilla chai without any sweetener.
• Happiness was reading the book club novel for one hour; today I finished pg. 100 @ 3:56pm and finished pg. 111 @ 4:44pm. At 4pm I signed Peggy off with my thanks and byes; she's back same time next week.
• Used the loo for one tinkle, plopped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 229TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post. Was pissed when dad reneged on his promise to take me out for dinner tonight since I'd apparently not met some other requirement of his. >< *sigh*
• Toms: Jane's minding me all day toms! Her first shift's from 9:30am till midday but then she's coming back  @ 1:30, taking me to play table tennis and seeing me home and showered before leaving @ 6:30.
  
• When she leaves @ 6:30pm I'll use the loo once more for two  tinkles then  be seated with BYO dinner waiting for David's pickup to GG for  Bible study.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 626

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3192 steps (ha, I'm over three grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Change Is Possible'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Create A Peaceful Atmosphere' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Living With Jesus' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR online should I  get  to watch the 6pm news bulletin tonight!! Anyways, events for today

• Nature called once partway  through the night; after another pot :P trip following the Sun's rising, 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*
• Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking around 9am for the pot :P around 9am.
• Since Peggy was arriving @ 9:30am, shortly before that dad lets himself into my room, kisses me good morning and gives me some eye goo.
• After dad opens the door for Peggy @ 9:30am, he knocks, opens the door and goes "Hi, Em..." I wave Mini Pearl @ him.  When dad next says, "Peggy arrive now," I nod Mini Pearl @ her, too. Peggy laughs and says fifteen more minutes, okay." This time, Mini Pearl nods then flicks his body 'shoo'. Peggy smirks and wisely withdraws; phew, since Mini Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
• When Peggy returns, I use the pot :P for one 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 then head out to the gobbling :P table with Peggy, who told me that she had her usual two hardboiled eggs for breakfast.
• For me, breakfast was one bowl of healthy cereal with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread with avocado and lightly sprinkled with toast, one full cup of water, all my usual drugs :P and one delicious mug of vanilla chai, sadly without any sweetener. 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.

Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, Peggy slathers my face and hands with sunscreen   before accompanying me back to the bathroom then returning to the kitchen and washing up the breakfast dishes. Over the loo, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying  Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Auto (pronounced Alto) and Peggy tootles us off to Pinelands Plaza. Thanks to her who  helped me  buckle my seatbelt all day.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 626

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3270 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic' from last night's "When I'm Anxious"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Prepare For The Next Phase' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Christ-Based Connection'. Anyways, events for today?

• Nature called once @ 12:35am; after another pot :P  trip following the Sun's rising 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*
• Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking for another pot :P trip around 9am, shortly before dearest dad comes to kiss me good morning and gimme some eye goo.
• After dad lets Kelly inside @ 9:30am, Kelly/dad knocks, opens the door and says good morning. Mini Pearl nods good morning back and then gives the 'shoo' motion. Kelly laughs and says I'll come back fifteen minutes later and help yoou up, okay? Mini Pearl repeats the nod and shoo motion and Kelly thankfully withdraws; phew, since Mini Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
• When Kelly returns, I use the loo for one more tinkle and we get me kitted, before I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table with Kelly, who tells me she ate Vegemite toast for breakfast, eww. XD
• For my breakfast, I have one bowl of healthy cereal with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one delicious mug of vanilla chai sweetened with only half a teaspoonful of sugar. I'd prefer two teaspoonfuls, but hey. 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, Kelly slathers my face and hands with sunscreen before walking behind me back to the toilet then returning to the kitchen and washing up the breakfast dishes. Over the loo, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Kelly's car and she tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Thanks to Kelly who kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt all day.
• Ray collects me @ the front gate and we tell Kelly  cya in one hour. Inside the granny flat, I use the loo for one tinkle and then lie down for some massage and acupuncture. Today was the first time Elf's thigh felt that the massage was very comfortable; 'twas also very nice getting to have a proper conversation with him without PIG mum yapping her head off @ him. XD Next month, his family's taking holidays @ New Zealand's South Island!
• After using the loo for another tinkle, Ray walked with me back out to where Kelly was waiting and I said my thanks and byes.
• Our other stop was Sunnybank Hills for buying groceries @ ALDI. Kelly parked across the road along level two and got a trolley for us. I walked with her down the length of the supermarket then braced against the end freezer shelf and asked Kelly to please go find where the groceries and then come back and take me to get them. While she was gone, I softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, closing the left eye for all the important number, since I wouldn't need to sing during the shower later.
• Groceries bought, Kelly tootled me home and I took a nice warm shower -  hairwash today. Also thanks to Kelly 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 bowl of tasteless rice leftovers all covered with boiled vegetables and just one tiny piece of delicious pork @ the bottom but yay Kelly made me another big mug of delicious vanilla chai with milk~
• At 1:25pm I sat over the loo once more for two tinkles and then @ 1:30pm I signed Kelly off with my thanks and byes. She's back this Sunday.
• Lorraine's minding me from 4-6pm today. Looking forward to reading the book club novel for another hour and fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 228TH time afterwards!
• Actually, unsure: will Angelica come 3:45pm till 5:45pm/Lorraine from 4-6pm? Doesn't bother me; as long as somebody comes! XD
• Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till 4pm. Presume we're buying my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi for lunch before Peggy takes me to the NAB for physio from 1-2.
• Peggy will see me home and showered before leaving @ 4pm; looking forward to reading the book club novel for another hour and then watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 229TH time!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,

Sunday Post 626d

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 4950. Aww, excuse the fact that I can't be bothered getting up and plodding fifty more steps to reach half a normal person today. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• Mia grabbed a trolley for us before we bought groceries from ALDI. For some reason, ALL the self-serve checkouts were card only?
• Then Mia and I went to Underwood MarketPlace for drinks @ Moomi tea! Dad was funny, saying I could only add pearls to the tee I was drinking and wasn't allowed to add extra cookie. Solution? Order a COOKIE milk tea and add pearls! XD Mia drank some kinda flavoured Yakult frappé. The avocado one sounds really odd! XD
• Back home I took a nice warm shower -  hairwash today. Also thanks to Mia 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 plain crackers and one delicious mug of white tea sweetened with two sugars. Happiness was reading the book club novel for one hour; reaching page fifty @ 4:29pm. This book's bigger than last months; it takes me three minutes to read one page.
• After reading for one hour I used the loo for one tinkle, plopped online and started watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's). All the things I like recording are in today's second post. Kelly massaged Ela for twenty minutes; when dad got home @ 6:11pm, he immediately signed her off and shooed her away.
• After I'd finished watching the 6pm news bulletin I called out and ask dad, dinnertime yet? Not yet, dad replied.  I waited fifteen more minutes and asked again; this time dad replied yup let's go.
• I used the loo for one tinkle, climbed into the backseat of dads' car and buckled my own seatbelt. Dad tootled us off to Ho Lin Wah and found a park across the road.
• Icky one set meal was curry; instead, dad ordered the other (beef in tomato sauce with rice) and a chow kway tiew. I had almost (but not quite) one bowl of rice, almost (but not quite again) half a bowl of ho fan, drank 1/3 the set soup, one cup of Chinese tea and only one mouthful of the warm HK-style milk tea. 
• 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: Kelly's minding me from 9:30am till 1:30pm and taking me to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Perhaps expect a super-pissy plodding total from me, since dad said there weren't any groceries that needed buying afterwards but hopefully, he'll change his mind.
  Two hours after Kelly leaves, Angelica's minding me from 3:45pm till 5pm. Looking forward to reading the book club novel for one hour and hoping to watch the 6pm news for the 228TH time afterwards!
• Anyways, wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 4813 (so won't quite make half a normal person tonight, sorry XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'In Who's Life Do You Live?' Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle then plopped online awaiting Kelly's arrival.
• She came @ 1:30pm; unsure why dad demanded we wait till 2pm before leaving? No biggie~
• After using the loo for one tinkle, I climbed into the passenger seat of Kelly's car, she kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt (as she also kindly did coming back) and then she tootled us off to the ALDI behind Underwood MarketPlace. Think she lives bayside (not southside like me, anyway) but I managed to give her proper directions there. Only the carpark was PACKED; unsure if it's like that every Sunday arvo?
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 636b

 Heylo again, good afternoon again and potentially one final greeting for today! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 4191. Sweet, I'm over four grand; that doesn't happen very often! XD Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• Breakfast finished, Kelly accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing up the breakfast dishes. Over the loo, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Kelly's car, she kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt then tootles me off to church, parking outside the hall. I hike up the ramp, use the loo for one tinkle and then sign Kelly off with my thanks and byes. She's back toms @ 9:30am.
• Yay, I get to stay seated for worship today! I sing everything, plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Dr. Lee; his sermon was from the Sermon On The Mount series and service ended fourteen minutes early today.
• After using the loo for one tinkle and grabbing a packet of bikkies from the morning tea table, I sat outside the service hall and munched my two bikkies. Thanks to dad for a paper cup of tea but I doubt he added any sugar to it ... *sigh*
• While everyone else shared lunch @ Rice Paper, dad made me eat Hungry Jack's with him. Suppose I should feel lucky that I had a Whopper Junior (not a cheeseburger) and twelve/sixteen chips! XD
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 636

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2334 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Fighting Words'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Get Back On Track' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Counting The Cost' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed SEVEN MINUTES online after Mia minds me until 6:30pm!!! Anyways, events for today

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:10am 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*
• When dad comes and gives me some eye goo, he says fifteen more minutes now, but you can have five more minutes after Kelly arrives. After dad heads back outside to await her arrival, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle then climb back into bed and await Kelly's arrival.
• After Kelly arrives, she knocks, opens the door and says good morning. When I nod Mini Pearl @ her, she says I'll come back and help you up in five minutes, okay? Another nod from Mini Pearl and she wisely removes herself; phew, since Mini Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! 
• After she comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Kelly.
• Breakfast is one bowl of healthy cereal with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt, one tall cup of water, all my usual drugs :P and thanks to Kelly for a huge mug of white tea although pity she can't find where dad's hidden the sugar. *sigh*
  
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 626c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 1943. Sorry, not quite two grand. XD Maybe toms! Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• Obviously, I came last/second-last again.  *cringe* But Shubi was such a sweetheart; she'd bought me a little packet of chocolates! I had the Crunchie one immediately~
• Once the day ended Denise invited Sharon and me back to the lunch place for afternoon tea and dinner but unfortunately, we had to decline since Sharon needed to get me home and showered before leaving @ 5pm! Never mind; delighted with the lunch I enjoyed out today and already wondering when my next proper meal's coming!
• So a nice warm shower for me - hairwash  today. Also thanks to Sharon 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 huge banana, two plain crackers and two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar, score!
• Only thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Dad shooed Sharon away twenty minutes early. I happily read the book club novel for one hour, finishing page twenty-five @ 4:03pm.
• Used loo for one tinkle, plopped online @ watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 226TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• At 7pm, I used the loo for one tinkle, had the usual dinner with dad, drank soup, took the bowl to the sink, returned online, used the loo once more @ 9pm and returned online again.
• Toms: hmm, Michelle never told me who's helping me up toms @ 7:30am ... well, somebody had better come!
•  Resigned to lunch with dad again @ Hungry Jack's after ESS but hopefully when Kelly minds me from 1:30pm till 6:30pm dad'll lemme buy another bubble tea before coming home for a shower.
• Also hoping we'll have dinner together out together toms night! Really enjoyed my meal out today; wonder when the next one will come? Potentially not till the 2nd Tuesday next month for our Toastmasters breakup Christmas party but hopefully not that long!
• Anyways, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 626b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 1743 (so yay I'm over 1.5 ground but doubt I'll reach two grand before tonight ends XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Party Spoiler'. Anyways, continuing today's events?

• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Sharon's car, she kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt (as she kindly does both ways) then tootles us off to 4EB!
• We make good time and find the building without problem, score! Only the building looks pretty small ... classroom size? 
• Also, the disabled toilet seat's loose; when Sharon wiped it down for me, the whole seat nearly fell off! Hence why Sharon said just sit straight down and pee; don't move. XD I've messaged the Story Bridge Hotel and asked them to please stick it back down. XD
• The conference took so long to start I asked Sharon please to take me to the loo once more first!
• Some guest speaker gave a test speech about his first job working in radio and then the first comp was evaluated immediately! I kept a running commentary for PIG mum~
• Then the humourous speech contest was hilarious!
• When we broke for lunch, YA @ QUT all headed down to the Story Bridge hotel but only Sharon and I went inside to eat; unsure where all the others went.
• Too bad the lunch special was lamb, eww! Instead, Sharon ordered a hamburger, and I ordered a roast chicken gravy roll, which came with chips! After we found a table outside, Sharon went to get table water for us, and I told the parents our lunch.
• But our meals took a while before arriving, so after Sharon snapped my lunch photo for me, we headed back into 4EB.
• While waiting inside I started munching my delicious roast chicken with gravy roll. After the contestants were all ordered out, I continued eating, since I'd drawn to compete last!
• When 'twas finally my turn, the contest chair asked me several questions before saying the topic: if you could change one thing in this world, what? I immediately answered get rid of my disability; what I would give to be whole again! Then I diverted into talking about chocolate and world domination but remembered to get off once the yellow light came on.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 626

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1452 steps (not bad, considering I've used Sparkless3 nearly all day); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Marvel Of Creation'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Speak 'Life' (2)" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Singing Scriptures' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm  really still owed ONE  HOUR and TWENTY-THREE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 226TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Originally, I was too excited about the Toastmasters conference today and couldn't fall asleep so already used the pot :P for one tinkle before midnight  since I'd not fallen asleep  yet; Mini Pearl offered to knock me unconscious but I  told him PIG mum would get cross @ him and erase all his pearls so instead Mini Pearl just sweetly sang me too sleep.  XD
• I was awake but not awake enough to know that I was awake when dearest dad came to gimme some eye goo @ 7:15am, saying fifteen more minutes now and you can have ten more minutes after Sharon arrives before getting up.
• Sharon came and said ten more minutes after I'd counted down  the initial fifteen more minutes; I spend that time 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*
• When she comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Surprise! I've not seen Sharon for a while (she's only twenty-six but doing her Masters in IT) but she remembered to bring me a tall cup of water! After drinking that I sit over the loo and do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and 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 washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Sharon. Breakfast's my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast cut into two rectangles with a smear of avocado and my first big mug of white tea, sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar. Over breakfast, 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!

Friday Post 626d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final,  final plodding total for Friday now stands at 6033. Ha, I'm just over six grand.  XD J Righteo,  final,  final events for tonight?

- When nature suddenly called at 8:35pm,  I walked myself once more slowly and safely 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. 

-Then YouTube offered me the full match replay of last Sunday 's final match between the Kangaroos and England! Almost finished watching the first half!

-Toms: an early start! Dad will give me fifteen more minutes at 7:15am and once Sharon arrives I'm up,  since she's taking me to the toastmasters conference and I am competing in the Table Topics! Obviously I will either come last or second last . XD But looking forward to enjoying lunch out; yesterday marked one whole WEEK since I last enjoyed a proper meal out! But probably expect a super-pissy plodding total from me. 

-Righteo,  hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!

Cheers, 

Em. ^^

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 5942 (so trusting I'll have reached six grand before the night's out XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Breath Of Life'.  Anyways, continuing today's events?

• After the news ended, I called out to dad to please summon me once dinner was ready then read and shared the She Reads Truth devotional before reading and sharing some Facebook memories.
• When dad summoned me over for dinner @ 7:10pm I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely over 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 soup potato, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup onion, lotsa soup pawpaw, three slices of disgusting eggplant (I ate one then donated the other two to dad when he went to get some soup for me XD) and one chunk of pork. Food pyramid imbalance, maybe? Originally dad told me toms I could get a burger for lunch but then he changed his mind and said get a chicken wrap? 
• 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.
• 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  weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em.    ^^

Friday Post 626b

 Good afternoon again and potentially one final greeting for today! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 5902. Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• After publishing the first post, I started reading and sharing my Facebook memories.
• Precisely two hours after I started the most important two hours of my day online I used the loo for one tinkle then sat @ the gobbling :P table to start reading the new book club book for one hour, asking dad for some  arvo tea please.
• Unsure why dad chopped off the head of the banana, but the two plain crackers were nice as was the huge mug of vanilla chai but sadly 'twas without sweetener. Must remember to tell PIG mum to let dad know where she's hidden the sweetener for my tea tomorrow!
• It's really pathetic how slowly I read now; after reading for one hour, I hadn't even read twenty-five pages! >< *sigh*
• One more tinkle for me before returning online~
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 626

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 5474 steps (am more than half a normal person today and will have cracked 5500 before today ends meaning I can record the number in my Larger Totals file, cool!  XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Do Not Harden Your Heart'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Speak 'Life (1)'" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Waiting For God'. Anyways, events for today?

• Nature  called once around 12:30am (I prolly  had too much fun yesterday XD); after another pot :P trip following the  Sun's rising 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*
• Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P around 9am. Around 9:25am, dearest dad lets himself into my room to kiss me good morning and gimme some eye goo.
• After dearest dad lets Jane in, Jane knocks, pushes the door open and calls good morning. When I nod Mini Pearl @ her, she says I'll come help you up in fifteen minutes, okay?" Mini Pearl nods again and she thankfully removes herself; phew, since Mini Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
• When Jane returns, I use the pot :P  for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom   and brush teeth, before sitting over the loo  for one tinkle,  washing  and  drying Era and then heading out to   the gobbling :P table with Jane, who tells me that she had a breakfast smoothie for her morning meal today.
• Huh, how come dad didn't tell Jane I get Weet-Bix for breakfast when I've got physio and not just bird food? But Jane made me one big mug of white tea too; the only pity was that dad hadn't told her where she'd hidden the sugar/honey! >< *sigh* 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, Jane smothers my face and both hands with sunscreen, accompanies me back to   the bathroom then returns to the kitchen and washed up the 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 Jane's car, and she tootles me off to see Winnie for physio. Thanks to Jane who kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt all day/

• Physio today: Twenty laps room walking, 2.864km bike ride, 40 bar-assisted pushups, 40 steps for Erf with left weight shift ,36 v-cable rows for both hands, 40 leg curls for Elf, 40 leg extensions for Elf, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing! Plus nine minutes of massage with the theragun. I'm just getting stressed since I'm already @ 95.5hrs of physio today and willm prolly exceed 100 hours before the year finishes! ><  *sigh*

• After we both used the bathroom (CZ258 unlocks the ladies' bathroom and the second cubicle's an ambulant one; I used that while Jane used the normal one besides me), Jane tootled us off to the  Rochedale Coles, grabbed us  a trolley then we bought groceries before heading home.

• Took a nice warm shower -  hairwash today. Also thanks to Jane 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 bowl of fried rice leftovers (thanks to Jane who   added some oyster sauce for me) plus another big mug of white tea without sweetener.

• Before I used the loo once more for two tinkles @ 1:55pm, dad suddenly rang and said Dorrie can't come since she's sick! o_O Hence why Jane helped me remove the bra when I sat once more over the loo before I signed her off with my thanks and byes @ 2pm. She's back next Wednesday, morning and afternoon!

• Once she left, some guy rang from My Rehab Team saying Dorrie will rebook a session after she's better. I've already told PIG mum and dearest dad's home~

• Once I've used up the most important two hours of the day I'll use the loo for one tinkle, sit @ the gobbling :P table and start reading the new book club novel for one hour!  Jane already helped me find the book this arvo~

• Toms: Sharon's minding me from 7:30am till 5pm; she's taking me to attend and compete in some Toastmasters conference! Obviously, I'll not win; I've only gotta speak for 1-2 minutes! Mostly I'm just looking forward to lunch @ the Story Bridge Hotel; the last time I enjoyed a proper meal out was Wednesday! (Not two days ago but one WEEK and two days ago)

• But expect a super-pissy plodding total from me, since I'm expecting I'll be using Sparkless3 and obviously won't have time to play table tennis @ church with dearest dad~

• Ooh, but since Sharon leaves @ 5pm, hopefully I can watch the 6pm news for the 225TH time!

• Anyways, hopefully bbl,  else wishing  everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em.   ^^
