 Heylo  again  and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 4096 (sweet I'm just over four grand; that doesn't happen   very often!) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Maps'. Righteo,  continuing  tonight's events?

Friday Post 606

 Good afternoon!  Firstly, my final, final plodding total for Friday's actually 2836 (just pity that the Broncos not only lost but were held try less against the Storm ><); secondly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3869 steps (so hopefully I'll reach four grand before the night's out); thirdly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Point Of Creation'; fourthly,  Joni's devotional topic from  last night's "What's Fair?"; fifthly, TWFT topic's 'The Five Crowns (1)' and sixthly, Our Daily   Bread's devotional topic's 'Caring For The Oppressed' but seventhly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-TWO MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 161ST time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like the previous three nights, nature didn't call until 8:00am, 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 again for the pot :P   about one hour later, just before 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 Nadine's arrival @ 9:30am.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Thursday Post 606

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been   hard @ work plodding 2192 steps (ha, I'm over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic's 'Jesus Bought Your Endurance'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Scriptural Advice About Sex' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Walking In Christ's Light." Anyways, events for today?

  •  Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like the past two nights, nature didn't call until 8am 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 for another pot :P trip when noisy PIG mum wakes me with her usual 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 Karina's arrival @ 9:30am but comes back inside @ 9:35am to gimme  fifteen more minutes since Karina hasn't arrived yet! o_O I tell her please to   ring CODA if Karina's not  arrived in five minutes' but phew, she does~ Hilariously, AFTER Karina arrives the original  carer   rostered for  today's shift arrives too! PIG mum doesn't   even let   her inside and sends her away. XD
  • When Karina comes back fifteen minutes later, 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 squirts me some toothpaste~ She even admires my new Minion toothbrush! <3'
  • 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 not eating breakfast this morning and informing her that she'll buy herself some when we're getting groceries for PIG mum after getting my AFO fixed.
  • For breakfast I slurp one bowl of plain porridge and healthy cereal with one slice of 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, Karina walks behind me back to the toilet before returning and washing up my breakfast dishes. Ober 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 Ability Prosthetics And Orthotics. Thanks to her who helped me buckle my seatbelt all day~
  • At APO, the lady behind the counter's holding an adorable baby daschund who's only four months old! She brings him over and Era gives him a quick pat~
  • Ryan takes my AFO and gives it new straps~ I've clean forgotten him, but Ryan says he looked after me back when I got my AFOs from Goodwill! Before leaving, Karina takes me once to the loo.
  • After leaving, our other stop's Warrigal Woolies to buy groceries. Yay   that the awesome   checkout chic discreetly slipped me a card when I   quietly explained that I've not bought thirty bucks worth of groceries, but could she please round up and gimme one? XD
  • Back home 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, lunch is one bowl of leftover fried rice plus one mug of powdered instant HK-style milk tea.
  • When PIG mum got home she discussed with Karina my EKKA trip next Monday:  I'm hitting the Ekka for the first time since 2016!!! *explodes with excitement*
  • At 1:55pm I sat over the loo once more for two tinkles and then signed Karina off with my thanks and byes; I think we're hitting the Ekka together next Monday!! 
  • Once I've used up my most important two hours of the day I'll use the loo for one tinkle, sit @ the gobbling :P table to munch arvo tea and read for one hour before returning online and watching the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 160TH time!
  • Will scoff down dinner and be seated on the couch   come 7:30pm since the Broncos are playing   the Storm tonight!
  • Toms: Peggy's still holidaying; I'm unsure who's taking me to Breathe for physio. But presuming we'll buy groceries afterwards and get the stuff needed for my cooking session with Dorrie toms arvo.
  • Looking forward to reading for one  hour afterwards then   watching  the 6pm news for the 161ST time!
  • Anyways,  hopefully  bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week  toms~
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 605

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4351 steps (ooh I'm over four grand; that's not common!); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "As Secure As God's Faithful'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Honour Others, And God Will Honour You' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Never Alone'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, for   the first time in three days, awesome sleep last night! Not only that, I had an awesome sleep last night! Only I forgot it after waking up.  XD Maybe I'll redream it toms?
  • Nature didn't call until 8am, 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 again for   the pot :P around one hour later, shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs.  Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before returning outside and awaiting Nadine's arrival.
  • Nadine was supposed to come @ 9:30am; instead, @ 9:35am PIG mum comes back into my room and tells me fifteen more minutes; Nadine hasn't come! I ask her to please ring CODA should Nadine not arrive five more minutes later, but   phew, she does.
  • After fifteen more minutes, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth, inviting Nadine to please come into the bathroom since I wanted to show off my new Minion toothbrush to her! >< <3
  • After brushing teeth, sitting over the loo and washing and drying Era, I head out to the bathroom with Nadine, who tells me that she had FOUR Weet-Bix for breakfast this morning!
  • My breakfast: one bowl of plain porridge mixed with healthy cereal, 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, Nadine accompanies me back to the bathroom then returns to the kitchen and washes up my 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 Nadine's car, some white Holden. Thanks to her who helps me buckle my    seatbelt all day.
  • We actually miss the path around the lake going down Underwood Road, but I look very carefully on the way back and we find it! We hike around it and have a rest on the sunlounges; Nadine even sees a water dragon!
  • Our other stop's Pinelands Plaza to buy milk from Coles and getting my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from Aunty Nancy @ Pinelands Bakehouse.
  • Took a nice hot shower when I got home - hairwash today. Also thanks to Nadine who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right   eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was my delicious crunchy pork  bahn mi with one yummy mug of white tea; just pity PIG mum had hidden the sweetener! *sigh*
  • Sat over the loo once more for two tinkles before plopping online.  Said my thanks and byes to Nadine as PIG mum arrived home from exercise class and grocery shopping.
  • Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day I'll use the loo for one tinkle, sit @ the gobbling :P table to read for one hour and ask PIG mum please for some arvo tea.
  • Looking forward to watching the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 159TH time.
  • Toms: my once-yearly eye test with   Daniel! Would love lunch @ Eight Street afterwards but hopes aren't up. :(
  • Nadine's coming back toms and taking me to table tennis!
  • She'll see me home and showered before leaving    @ 6:30pm; I've just Whatsapped David asking will he please pick me up for GG with BYO dinner @ 6:45pm and drop me back home afterwards~
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl,  else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Monday Post 605c

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3447 (so presumably I'll have hit 3.5 grand before the night's out) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Timeless Moments' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY MINUTES online after I let PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela on one set of those FitMi exercises for her!! Anyways, events for today?

  • How odd... sleep wouldn't   come last night? I actually used the pot :P for one tinkle just after midnight before finally falling asleep!
  • Following  another pot :P   trip   after  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 again for the pot :P   around 9am just before 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 and help 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.
  • 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's one bowl of  plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly  spread with  avocado and hopefully sprinkled with  some 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.

  • Grr! For the 4th time this year, my awesome sleep streak was ruined after five days! >< Never mind, 'twas a sound sleep aside from that *sigh*
  •  After another pot :P trip following the Sun's rising, I immediately fell back asleep afterwards since I was pretty sure that PIG mum would get very noisy one hour later!
  • Like clockwork, PIG mum's daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs wakes me for another pot :P trip. I've just swung back into bed and pulled the covers back over myself when   she lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me   exceedingly little with the tops before leaving me to get myself mostly   independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first. Whilst doing so, 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*

  • Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa choko and some pork mince.
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Back to blogging now! Hopefully bbl shortly   after one last loo trip with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final   events for tonight plus what's happening Friday else wishing everyone a smashing end to the weekend toms!
    Cheers,

Thursday Post 605

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been   hard @ work plodding 2898 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily   devotional topic from last Suffering That Strengthens Faith'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Beware Of Covetousness' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Looking Like Christ'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 8:00am 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 nature calls again one hour later it's actually   PIG mum's daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs that awakes me; when the home phone rings, she's downstairs and rushes into my room to answer it, grousing "It'd better not be Karina cancelling again ..."  But it is! o_O 
  • Mother gives me fifteen more minutes and when the replacement carer arrives @ 9:45pm I get up immediately. Turns out Nadine's only one year younger than me, and lives in Inala!
  • We get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth, sit over the loo for one tinkle and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Nadine.
  • Breakfast's 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, while Nadine washes up my breakfast stuff, closes and locks windows, I sit once more over the loo. 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 passenger seat of Nadine's car, she kindly helps me with my seatbelt and then she tootles me off to Calamvale Central for a haircut. Sweet, she parks underground and grabs a trolley for us; Go Cutt's right outside the lift!
  • The hairdresser who cut my hair today has done it before! I like going   there   since it's the only time I'm ever instructed to look down; unfortunately, the vacuum cleaner still hasn't been fixed yet! >< The hairdresser's really sweet and super-nice to mother; she tells me that she's got three kids and has her PR here but doesn't  wanna get her citizenship since she doesn't wanna lose her Chinese passport.
  • Hair nice and neat, Nadine and I hike all the way to the other end of Calamvale Central and buy a carton of milk from Woolies. Thanks to Nadine who lets me sit on the self-serve checkout machine space where you usually put groceries; unsure why the parents won't lemme? But I chatted with Adelfa the checkout lady manning the self-serve checkouts; she's Filipino and her name means some kinda flower! I told her the two phrases I can   speak; she nodded approvingly when IU said thanks but doubled over roaring with laughter when I very timidly said you're fat? XD
  • Back home I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today.  Also thanks to Nadine who helps me rinse my hair out, thus freeing    Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and  rekitted Nadine microwaves the bowl of rice leftovers mother left me for lunch - with added oyster sauce! :D I enjoy my packet of powdered HK-style milk tea and best of all, since Royal Match randomly gives me one hour of free lives, pass the hard level I've been stuck on!
  • Before Nadine leaves, I sit over the loo for two more tinkles. She's from Care Agency    Australia~
  • Once I've used up the most important hours of   my day online, I'll use the loo for one tinkle, sit @ the gobbling :P table to read for one hour and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo  tea.
  • Looking forward to watching the 6pm news (Seven's) for the 164TH time!
  • Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till like 1:30pm and taking me to Breathe for physio.
  • After she sees me showered and leaves, Syn's coming to give Ela one hour of unfunctional exercises.
  • Will  prolly  skip reading for one hour since I'm planning to watch the 6pm news for the 165TH time, wolf down dinner and be seated on the couch @ 7:30pm ready to watch the Broncos play!! Although I'll   be happy whoever wins:   the Broncos are my home team, but I've always cheered for South Sydney since I'm born in the CNY of the Rabbit!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 605

 Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Tuesday's actually 4272 (sweet I don't pass 4000 often); secondly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's 'Trials And Temptations'; thirdly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3108   steps (ha, I'm over three grand XD, fourthly, John Piper's daily  devotional topic from last night's "God's Plan For Martyrs'; fifthly, TWFT topic's 'God Still Lives You!' and sixthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'A Friend @ Midnight' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still  owed ONE HOUR and FORTY-DIVE MINUTES online after GG tonight!! Anyways, just briefly, last night's events first!

  • After spending my most important two hours of the day online, I headed over to the gobbling :P table for arvo  tea (thanks to PIG mum for some rice) and to read until Lorraine took me to Toastmasters!
  • Got the free parking but another tiny turnout; originally there were two guests, but they left right after the warmup! But I scored a little packet of honey soy chicken chips since Denise forgot to call me madam   warmup master, but Lorraine called me Madam Toastmaster! After she'd exited the highway and was driving along Klumpp   road to Maccas, whenever Lorraine stopped @ some red traffic light, I passed her the chip packet and we shared~
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 604

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3851 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Why We Don't Lose Heart'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Need For Connectedness' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Sustained By God' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm  really  still owed ONE HOUR and FORTY-THREE MINUTES online after I get home from Toastmasters with Lorraine!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:45am 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 again for the pot :P   when   PIG mum's mobile went off! Shortly afterwards, PIG mum let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and tell me that dearest dad had just rung her and said he'd arrived safely in Singapore.
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

Monday Post 604d

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3654. Righteo,   final, final events for tonight?

  • At 8:30pm I had to let PIG mum    gleefully force poor Ela on one set of those FitMi exercises for her. Only the call was interrupted by dearest dad's Whatsapp  videocall; he'd already checked in!
  • After finishing those exercises for her, PIG mum helped me find Silence Wang's English song on YouTube; it's actually called 'No One Knows'! Lol, only watching it did I  realise he sang 'I know that your heart is nearly HERE' and not 'I know your heart is nearly HEALED'! XD
  • At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one 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: Angelica's minding me 9:30am till 2pm. Personally, I'm hoping it'll be too windy to hike around Rochedale Park, and we can just go buy groceries from Coles Pinelands Plaza and get a crunchy pork  bahn mi (and, and a Vietnamese iced coffee XD) before coming home for lunch. Oh,  what about  the bubble tea?? XD
  • Lorraine's taking me  to Toastmasters for our 5th week meeting! If she'll lemme have a milkshake with my Unhappy Meal I'll let her buy chips and a soft serve sundae (no syrup)  for  dinner. XD
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day  toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Monday Post 604c

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3623 (ha, I'm over 3.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'My Ever-Present Help'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

  • When Catherine announced her arrival @ precisely   4:45pm, I walked myself slowly   and safely to the front door and let her in, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • So a nice hot shower for me - hairwash  today. Also thanks to Catherine who   helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. While I washed myself, Catherine told me that she's visiting Japan soon! 
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted,  arvo tea was one adorable, sweet tiny sugar banana, one plain cracker and one big mug of English breakfast tea with milk but unfortunately   Catherine couldn't find where sneaky PIG mum had hidden the sugar. *sigh*
  • While Catherine very gently massaged Ela, I happily watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 133RD time. Eep,  Mt. G ravatt's only  gonna be *five* toms!! >< *wails* XD
  • When the ad break before the sports report started, I quickly used the loo for one more tinkle and Catherine sneakily left two minutes early. XD
  • One the news ended, the parents and I had one last dinner before Uncle Slam drove dearest dad to the airport! I thought dinner tasted great since 'twas rice with the final leftovers of the chicken dish I'd cooked with Dorrie three days ago; cheesy rice's a winner! XD
  • Uncle Slam actually arrived five minutes early to drive dad to the airport, but they spent that time ensuring he'd packed the most important things e.g. ticket, passport and belts for Uncle Fung. Unsure did anybody want else, like health supplements?
  • Obviously I walked dearest dad out to the car and smothered him with big hugs and kisses before Uncle Slam drove him to airport, and I returned online after using the loo for one more tinkle.
  • At 8:20pm I   walked myself once slowly and safely to   the loo for one tinkle and back, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

  • At 8:20pm, I walked myself once more slowly  and safely 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.
    Cheers,

Monday Post 604b

 Heylo again, good afternoon and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I   get to post online before midday.  XD Firstly, today I've been   hard @ work plodding 2857 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "If You Don't Fight Lust; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'When You Feel Blah' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'To See And To Serve'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Nature called once around 1:30am, following another pot :P trip   after 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 again for the pot :P once more around 9am just before 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 and help 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.
  • When I call out and tell PIG mum   I've finished mostly independently kitting myself, she comes back to finish with only Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Eww, the phlegm I coughed up yesterday was yellow but this morning it's GREEN, gross! ><" 
  • Teeth brushed, 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 plain porridge cross warmed healthy cereal with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado   and hopefully very lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • After finishing 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!
  • Since PIG mum's still upstairs when I'm exiting the bathroom, I first walk myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I quickly publish today's first post. XD
  • When PIG mum's finally ready, I climb into the backseat of her car. Amazingly, she HELPS me buckle my seatbelt all day! We also listen to her Chinese pop collection all day too. First stop:  Ray's for some massage and acupuncture.
  • At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle and then lie down for some massage and acupuncture. PIG mum's in her element yapping unceasingly @ Ray; today she repeated two/three different words SIX times! XD Elf's calf hurt during the massage but for the first time, Elf's thigh felt how comfortable the massage was! Plus yay for shoulder CPR~
  • After another tinkle, PIG mum tootled me back to Warrigal Square Woolies and we bought groceries only we nearly couldn't find a park and not only that, BUT PIG mum was ALSO unable to withdraw $200 from the self-serve check out!
  • Back home, dad had lunch   ready for us: TASTY two-minute noodles with lotsa lettuce, two/three small slices of pork and a MASSIVE slice of fried egg! 
  • Lunch was washed down with one cup of herbal tea (green?) after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly   and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
  • Lorraine was gonna mind me from 4-6pm but suddenly CODA rang and said Catherine's coming 4:45pm till 6:45pm instead! Suppose that   cancels out reading for one hour, but hopefully I   can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 133RD time!
  • Toms: Angelica's minding me from 9:30am till like 1:30pm; presuming we'll buy groceries from Coles Pinelands plus get my once-weekly crunchy pork  bahn mi. PIG mum was suggesting hike around Underwood Park but I'm not interested if it's windy! Mostly I'm just hoping Angelica will get Vietnamese iced coffee and bubble tea for us: she's introduced me to chocolate pearl milk tea with COOKIE, OMG!! XD
  • Looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online and must remind PIG mum to please gimme some RICE for   arvo  since I'm only getting an UnHappy Meal with an orange juice for dinner toms night!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl after Catherine leaves, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
