Sunday Post 497b

 Heylo again 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 only 550 (and perhaps don't expect many more from me; Sunday's looking like my 4th consecutive day @ home); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional from last night's 'Open The Windows Of Your Heart'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Don't Avoid - Engage" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Resting In Christ'. Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 13TH consecutive awesome sleep last night!  Nature didn't call until 6:20am 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*
• Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P when noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes. Only when I look @ the clock it's already 8:55am!  I call PIG mum and ask her to please quickly help with Elf's AFO straps and both laces, since service starts @ 9am! PIG mum says don't worry, the service's prerecorded; you can watch it whenever, but I reply no, Peter Pie says we can Zoom together @ 9am! PIG mum says then just brush teeth before attending service; you can have breakfast afterwards.
• After brushing teeth and sitting over the loo, I boot up the computer and immediately try to join the chat room. Peter Pie lets me in nearly immediately; phew, I only missed the first half of worship.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 497c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 1376. Not bad, for someone who's not left the house today! XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post I read and shared the She Reads Truth daily devotional and then nearly had forty minutes to play the HP version of Bejeweled; I even passed four/five levels! Also Whatsapped with Fi~
• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, again and always ising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: just church, nothing special. Oh, the special thing's that instead of meeting @ church, we're joining through a live YouTube link!
• Wonder will dad take us out to Maccas for a quick lunch before he goes off to play baddy and have arvo  tea with his mates?
• Will definitely haveta shower toms, since I skipped one today. XD
• Hopefully dad will  take us out for dinner together toms night somewhere! Otherwise expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing end to the weekend toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 497b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 1316 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "What's In A Look?' Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• For lunch, we had oven-baked pizza with added cheese and peaches! Personally, I prefer pineapple, but peaches are nice too~
• After lunch, I continued reading!  Actually, I read for another two hours and fifteen minutes; today I've read for three hours and fifteen minutes; new record! This afternoon, I reached pg. fifty @ exactly 1:50pm and then I reached page seventy-five @ 2:52pm.
• Suddenly PIG mum says let's bake cupcakes! She had fun bossing me around and giving me orders; mostly I was just disappointed since she added LOTSA DRIED FRUIT into CHOC CHIP MUFFINS. Talk about ruining delicious muffins! ><  XD *cringe*
• Once they were put into the oven to bake I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• Happily watched the 6pm   news bulletin (Nine's) for the 38TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• PIG mum got dad to start dinner without me while I was watching the weather report. After the news ended, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• Dinner: leftover fried rice under a bed of boiled cauliflower, which was under a bed of lettuce. Also one slice of peach since I hadn't eaten any fruit today but that parents demand I eat some every day for them.
• 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, always 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 hope everyone has a smashing Sunday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 497

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1104 steps (sweet, I'm over one grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'How Can I Be Filled With The Spirit?'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Problems? Draw Closer To God' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The List Is Life' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-FOUR MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin(Nine's) for the 38TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 12TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:50am, and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh* Back in bed, before resuming happy  snorings with Pearl, I happily whispered to him, "Score, Alfred didn't blow us away last night!" XD
• Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am, shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. When PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo, I celebrate with her that Alfred hadn't swept us away and then refuse to put a bra on since I'm staying @ home all day. Let the girls hang free! XD
• After giving myself fifteen more minutes, I get myself mostly independently kitted. Whilst doing so, 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*
• PIG mum comes back 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 drink one tall cup After washing and drying Era, I walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, of water before sitting 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!
• Breakfast's my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dried (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado, one full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and my first big, delicious mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey.
• Spent the morning reading!  The book title appears on pg. 609 twice and then I FINISHED THE BOOK @ 11:14am!! Thankfully some carer had found me a new book to  continue reading and I immediately started reading The Girl That Kicked The Hornet's Nest!
• I happily read that all morning and early afternoon, reaching age twenty-five @ 12:21pm. 
• At 12:40pm PIG mum called lunch.
• 
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 497c

  Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 3156. See? Told you I'd crack three grand! , final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I started my GCCW homework; huge thanks to Alison who taught me how to get the 'e' with the little dash over it for Microsoft Word!
• At 9pm, I walked myself 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: (8) If Tomorrow Never Comes ... I got blown away by Alfred ... (8) Maybe that's why made some black sesame dessert soup tonight?
• Hoping I'm outta bed before 9:45am and fingers crossed the parents will take me for walkies somewhere, also that table tennis will happen, otherwise expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
• Also hoping to read for three hours toms; SURELY I'll finish The Second Sunrise finally?

Friday Post 497b

 Heylo  again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 2972 (so will surely have cracked three grand before the night's out XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Beyond Your Limitations'. Righteo, continuing today's events?

• After I used up the most important two hours of the day, I used the loo for one tinkle and then sat @ the gobbling :P to try and finish The Second Sunrise!
• But even though I read for just over 2.5 hours I haven't finished it. *cringe* Today I finished pg. 575 @ 4:07pm, the book title appeared on ph.  597 and I finished pg. 600 @ 6:08pm.
• Then I took a nice warm shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was all finished after only 11% but happily leaned fully against the right-side rail and sang for another tinkle before tapping the nice warm water off and calling PIG mum back.
• Since PIG mum won't even dry my back for me anymore, once she passed me the towel I did everything until Elf's AFO straps needed tying and both laces needed tying.
• After I dried the loo seat, sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped both feet dry and washed and dried Era, 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.
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 37TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post
• For our final dinner together before Alfred hits, dearest dad cooked fried rice! Lotsa boiled broccoli and lotsa his home-grown hairy melon over the top~
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after I took 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. 
• When nature suddenly called @ 7:55pm, I walked myself once 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.
• 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 hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 497

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2342 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'God Regards The Lowly'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Jesus Is The Answer' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Gives Your Worries To Jesus'. Anyways, events for today?

• Woo  hoo, 11TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like previous days, nature didn't call until 7:20am, 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*
• Pearl 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 but I refuse to put a bra on, since if we're just stuck @ home today waiting for Alfred to hit, I'm gonna let the girls hang free! XD
• After giving myself fifteen more minutes, I get myself mostly independently kitted. When I tell PIG mum I've done that, she returns to finish with only 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 and then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Breakfast is one of the cute little charsiu buns I helped PIG mum make yesterday, with one bowl of the less-yummy (so sticky) bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) and all my usual drugs :P. PIG mum forgot to gimme a tall glass of water; before she could remember, I quickly swallowed each pill with the cereal milk. XD Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the loo, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• Suddenly, PIG mum comes and whacks a bra on me; dad wants to go shopping @ Garbo Coles
• ?
• Mostly I'm just pissed that dad says he'll put Green Sticky in the car for me, FORGETS, then says he'll lemme push the shopping trolley with him but DOESN'T, not until I reach Coles! *sigh*
• But we panic buy about forty bucks of groceries. XD 
• Back home, I use the loo for one more tinkle and then sit @ the gobbling :P table to await lunch.
• We eat swelling! XD (Say 'joong' in Canto) There's also a container of green grapes (I eat one, but dad randomly picks me six more) and I drink one huge mug of green tea.
• After taking the cup over to the sink I use the loo for one more tinkle and then 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.
• Once I've used up the most important two hours of the day, I'll use the loo for one more than sit @ the gobbling :P table to try and finish The Second Sunrise! Also hope PIG mum feeds me some arvo  tea~
• Toms: if tomorrow never comes ... I got blown away by Alfred"! XD Perhaps expect a super-pissy plodding total from me? Unsure will table tennis happen/dad join his mates for badminton and arvo tea?
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• Once I used up the 8most important two hours of the day online I used the loo for one tinkle and then sat @ the gobbling :P table to read for one hour.

Thursday Post 497

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1057 steps (but I'm unsure how I've cracked 1000 steps without even leaving the house today? XD Also unsure why PIG mum won't lemme wear the mobile pedometer >< *sigh*); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Look To Jesus For Your Joy'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Your Past Qualifies You As A Worshipper' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Not 'Easily Offended'. Anyways, events for today?

•  Woo hoo, 10TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like the past few days, nature didn't call until 7:20am, 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*

•  Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am, just before noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes. Actually, she tried to put a bra on me but, but I refused, saying let the girls hang free since I'm not going out today! XD

• PIG mum returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both shoelaces; after one more pot :P trip (since the downstairs' toilet's outta order; the plumber's coming and fixing it) I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• Breakfast is one bowl of Minus :P and yummy flaky Special K with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and apparently very lightly sprinkled with salt and all my usual drugs :P. Since PIG mum forgot the full cup of water, I obviously wasn't gonna ask her for it; I just quickly took each pill with a spoonful of milk. XD 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*

• Karina arrived several late several minutes late today (traffic). I told her we were cooking today and then hiked upstairs to my toilet. Unsure why PIG mum wouldn't let her follow me, but all the better for me: I leant fully against the rail and hugged the wall while going up. XD 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 visiting my upstairs bathroom to wash and dry Era, I hugged the rail heading back downstairs and told Karina, ready to cook!

• Today we made cheesy pasta bake! First, I stood @ the stove and boiled the pasta; sitting back down I spread al foil over the baking tray, poured the drained pasta into the tray, spread it and added cheese!

• While that was baking, I headed into the bathroom for 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 I returned outside and started playing the HP version of Bejeweled - I've already passed like four levels today! Karina cleaned the bathroom before leaving @ 12:15pm, presuming she's back next Thursday for GCCW!

• Lunch was one delicious bowl of the pasta I'd made with Karina plus one huge mug of delicious vanilla chai although unfortunately without any sweetener. 

• Afterwards, I took the cup over to the sink, used the loo for one more tinkle and then 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.

• Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day I'll use the loo for one tinkle and then sit @ the gobbling :P table to wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea. Hoping to finish The Second Sunrise; Karina has already found me a new book to start!

• PIG mum had better remember to gimme dinner while I'm watching the news for the 36TH time coz 7pm begins coverage of the Broncos' season opener! 

• Best of all, it's ice cream night tonight; like I say every week, a very little's better than none @ all!

• Toms: Albert's arriving @ 2am! That's why I'm listening to Ronan Keating's "If Tomorrow Never  Comes": If Tomorrow Never Comes ... You May Presume I Got Blown Away By Alfred ... XD

• Mostly just frustrated that Michelle's gone and cancelled support. >< The weather may be alright; we're further south than Albert's estimated arriving place! >< *sigh*

• Hopefully won't haveta hike upstairs toms; should Wally come to hisa senses/PIG mum gimme back my mobile pedometer I may have a correct (if pissy) plodding  total to report

• Looking forward to reading for one hour and watching the 6pm  news bulletin for the 37TH time!

• Anyways,  hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 497

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3859 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'God Rejoices Too Do You Good'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "You Are Not Beyond God's Reach" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Unfathomable God'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 9th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like the past two/three days, nature didn't call until 7:20am, 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* Usually, nature's my wakeup call most mornings, but today 'twas cyclone Alfred's heralds BLOWING AROUND REALLY LOUDLY that woke me!
• Pearl and I happily cuddled and snored, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am just before noisy PIG mum began her noisy daily A-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first. She also said CODA rang this morning and that Olivia can't come today because of some family emergency? But some other carer's coming like 9:15am till 12:15pm/.
• 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 to brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Breakfast is one bowl of the yummier (so flaky) bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very thinly spread with avocado and for some reason the PLATE (not the toast itself very lightly sprinkled with salt) and all my usual drugs :P. The cup where usually PIG mum fills with water was empty; I quickly took all my drugs LP with a sip of milk before she realised and poured me one full cup. But feeling pretty thirsty now. ^^"
• Thanks to PIG mum who let the new carer in, thus saving me from a potentially dangerous trip to the front door myself. Leilani's in her early forties and she's Maori (from New Zealand!)
• After breakfast, Leilani walks behind me back to the bathroom. 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 Leilani's car and she tootles us down to Warrigal Square Woolies to panic but. XD All the parking was already taken but Leilani drove around and found a spot near the back for us near the post office.
• Leilani grabbed a trolley for us and we hiked every aisle; gosh, panic buying has set in and there's not much left! But Leilani and I saw that Tim Tams were half price and she lemme buy a pack!
• The My Maccas app today gave me a $2 McFlurry deal and a $1 hash brown deal; Leilani lemme get them both! :D She also went inside and bought a pack of small fries to share with me!
• Back home, I showered my quickest - hairwash today. Also thanks to Leilani who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, I sat outside @ the gobbling :P table while Leilani cleaned the bathroom.
• After she left @ 12:15pm, we had pizza for lunch! Just the oven baked version that PIG mum added cheese and PEACHES to; nice, but personally I prefer pineapples. XD
• Lunch was washed down with one delicious mug of green tea from Aunty Nga; after taking the cup to the kitchen I used the loo for one more tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day I'll use the loo for one tinkle, sit @ the gobbling :P table to read for one hour and wait for PIG mum to feed me a Tim Tam!
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 35TH time!
• Toms: my roster says Karina's coming from 1:30pm till 5:30pm? Hope PIG mum helps me up before 9:30am and that we can grocery shop somewhere, else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
• Looking forward to reading for one hour, watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 36TH time and best of all, it's ice cream night tonight! Like I say every week, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else hope everyone's having a smashing week!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 496c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 3758. Anyways, final, final   events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I continued reading and sharing some Facebook memories.
• At 9pm, I walked myself slowly and safely once more to the loo for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: who knows? Since Alfred may make landfall toms, everything's already been cancelled! No table tennis, no GG ... I hope CODA won't suddenly cancel my shift since I still need the support! But perhaps expect a pissy plodding total from me?
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 496b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for tonight now stands @ 3686 (see? Told you I'd crack 3.5 grand! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Take A Longer Look'. Righteo,  continuing today's events?

• Breakfast is one bowl of the less yummy (so sticky) bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly sprinkled with avocado and for some reason the PLATE very lightly sprinkled with salt (no matter, I just lick the plate clean after I'm finished eating XD), all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the loo, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• Nisha arrived two minutes late today since she was stuck in traffic along Logan Rd. After PIG mum left for her Pilates class, she walked behind me back to the bathroom. 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 Fried Chicken Tuesday and Nisha tootles me off to Pinelands Plaza to buy groceries from Coles and get my once weekly bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse.
• She grabs a trolley for us; after buying groceries from Coles, I then pop into Pinelands Bakehouse to buy my crunchy pork bahn mi from Aunty Nancy. When I happily burble to  her it's my birthday this month she asks when?  20th, I reply. Next next Thursday.
• We return home for lunch. I use the loo once more on arrival and then we both munch our yummy crunchy pork  bahn mis. I'd asked PIG mum could I please drink a vanilla chai for lunch; she said yes! Too bad Nisha couldn't find any sweetener. XD
• At 12:30pm, Nisha tootles me off to the NAB for physio with a new student! I use the loo once and head into the NAB; my new student meets me while I'm making my way down the hallway.
• Jacky's twenty-three/twenty-four and from Singapore. He's a few years older than your average NAB student since he did his military service first! I never knew Singapore was like Taiwan and had enforced military service for the boys!
• Physio today: Ten transfers from floor to plinth, two- and one-point kneeling, lunges for Erf, card flipping for Era whilst kneeling with left weight shift and five laps long hallway walking.
• Coming home, PIG mum lemme buy the two dollar McFlurry deal offered by the MyMaccas app but said I couldn't take a photo of it lest dad see and get cross. I got the Oreo one and promptly stained everywhere. XD
• Back home, I showered my quickest - hairwash today. Also thanks to Nisha 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 gloopy mouthful of delicious passionfruit, one huge mug of plain green tea and about half a plain cracker. Nisha cleaned the bathroom and was signed off @ 4:15pm. She's back same time next week.
• Happily read The Second Sunrise for one hour, reaching pg. 475 @ 4:11pm.
• Used loo for one tinkle and then plopped online briefly before going to the sofa to watch the 6pm news since there wasn't any connection ... eep, Albert's coming?! All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• Returned briefly online; when PIG mum summoned me over for dinner I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely to the loo, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy cauliflower, lotsa dearest dad's home-grown hairy melon, one disgusting (but thankfully small XD) piece of scrambled egg with bitter melonand like two spoonfuls of PIG mum's yummy egg brisket.
• 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.

• Righteo, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip  with my final,  final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening  toms else wishing everyone a smashing Wednesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• Woo hoo, 7th consecutive awesome sleep last night! We're only three days into March but I've already achieved the 5th time I've enjoyed one consecutive week of awesome sleeps! :D Nature didn't call until 7:20am, 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.

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3275 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Come Before God In Purity'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• I informed the parents once the news has ended. When PIG mum right, dinnertime, I used the loo for one more tinkle and then climbed into the backseat of the car, buckling my own seatbelt.
• Like the past several Sundays, dinner was @ Ho Lin Wah. The A set meal was some kinda yucky black bean dish, but we ordered the B set meal, thin Hokkien fried noodles with beef (real therefore chewy, unlike BIRU's fake limp ones XD) and a salty fish and chicken fried rice. I also drank about half the set soup, one cup of Chinese tea and just over one mouthful of the HK-style cold milk tea.
• Back home, 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.

Sunday Post 496b

 Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for today! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2738.  Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• Once the Panthers and Raiders game ended, PIG mum was already bugging me to get offline, but I ignored her until I'd used up the entirety of my most important two hours of the day online.
• For arvo tea I enjoyed half a mouthful of delicious gloopy passionfruit, half a plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea. Originally, I was gonna read for one hour but suddenly realised I'd not have time for that if I wanted to watch the 6pm news tonight!
• So a nice warm shower for me - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, just like yesterday, I was all done after only 10% but happily leaned fully against the right-side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before tapping the nice warm water off and calling PIG mum back.
• Since she'll not even dry my back for me anymore, I did everything until the bra strap needed toing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
• After drying the loo seat I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped both feet dry, washed and dried Era before walking myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Presuming we'll have dinner @ Ho Lin Wah again?
• Toms: don't have anything on so expect a super-pissy plodding total unless PIG mum takes me grocery shopping and aisle walking somewhere.
• Sharon's minding me from 4-6pm; looking forward to reading for one hour and fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 33RD time!
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!

• Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 496

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2316 steps today; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Where Our Comfort Comes From'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Importance Of Fellowship' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Jesus - Our Place Of Rest' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-ONE MINUTES online after I watch the NRL season kickoff for 2025 in Las Vegas!! Anyways, events for today?

•  Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:50am, and after one pot :P trip I immediately tried falling back asleep, since I knew that PIG mum would get very noisy @ 7:05am!
• Unfortunately, sleep didn't return before PIG mum began her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs; when that started I gave up trying to fall back asleep and instead I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• At 7:15am, PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap 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 two tinkles, wash and dry Era and then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Breakfast was one yummy bowl of flaky Special K very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P with one slice of toast very thinly spread with avocado and for some reason the PLATE (but not the toast itself) very lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the loo, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles us off to church, parking under the service hall. I haul myself up the ramp, use the first cubicle of the normal ladies' loo (since the disabled loo has lid closed but mean mother won't lift it), wash and dry both hands and then grab my usual spot @ service. PIG mum bolts back upstairs for CSS. It's 8:45am.
• Suddenly Yu Lam appears and says you're doing welcome today! She walks behind me back outside and ensures I've got a chair before popping back inside.
• Today I'm welcoming with Ella; aww, she wasn't even BORN when the 9/11 attacks happened!
• She walks behind me back inside when service starts.
• Yay, I get to stay seated for worship today. I sing everything, plus the harmony for four songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today's Tyvus; today his sermon's from the Hero/Zero sermon series with today's character in focus being Ruth.
• After service ended sixteen minutes early, I used the disabled loo for one tinkle, grabbed a mini packet of three Jatz crackers (the chip packets were already all gone ><) and grabbed my usual spot outside the hall.
• Met some new aunty with a shy little ball; Aunty Cynthia also sat down and demanded Ela play that fingers game with her but showed me some flower painting she did and says she'll paint me a sunflower for my birthday next week!
• Everyone enjoyed lunch together @ Mia Casa Cafe but dad made me eat Hungry Jack's with him @ Rochedale Springwood. *sigh* Just a cheeseburger, ten chips and we shared an orange juice for me; dad only lemme have two small spoonfuls of the chocolate sundae and ate the rest himself. But Aunty Yvonne and Uncle Stephen had lunch with us; Aunty Yvonne got her free birthday Whopper since her birthday was only two/three days ago! Wonder how I can get mine ... 
• Back home, I used the loo for one more tinkle, washed and dried Era and then walked myself slowly and safely back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 

• At 3pm I'm gonna watch the NRL season opener in Las Vegas! Don't think the Broncos are playing until Saturday ... 
• Toms:  hope PIG mum helps me up before 9:45am and takes me for walkies somewhere since Sharon's not coming until 4-6pm else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me ... but hope I can read for one hour and watch the 6pm news for the 32ND time!
• Anyways,  hopefully bbl else wishing  everyone a smashing  week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
