 Good afternoon! Lol, Tuesday's the final day to reach SIX HUNDRED posts. XD Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4462 steps (sweet I'm not often over four grand and I'm gonna finish past 4.5 grand tonight! ^^ XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Faith Honours Him Who It Trusts'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Waiting Strategy' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The God Who Rescues' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-SEVEN MINUTES online when Rosanna comes over for some Bible study!! >< Argh, yet another day where I'll not get the ENTIRETY of my MOST IMPORTANT two hours of the day online!! >< *sigh* Anyways, just briefly, events for today?

• Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like the past two days, nature didn't call until 7:05am~
• Angelica helped me up, took me grocery shopping @ Pinelands Plaza and I got a crunchy pork bahn mi from Aunty Nancy for lunch.
• NAB physio with Mandy: Standing practice at parallel bars with left weight shift, twelve laps parallel bars walking twelve laps long hallway walking and three/four transfers from double red mats to plinth.
• Came home for a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Angelica who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted  thanks to PIG mum who gave me some rice for arvo tea, since she knows I'll fret should I endure any day without rice. XD
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 600e

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 4129. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I finished and sent around my GCCW homework.
• 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.
• Let PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela on one set of those  FitMi   exercises for her. That took around twenty-five minutes.
• Toms: Angelica's minding me from 9:30pm till 4pm. After helping me up, we'll buy groceries from Coles Pinelands, buy lunch from the Pinelands Bakehouse and come home for lunch before Angelica tootles me off to UQ for physio with Mandy. Then she'll see me home and showered before leaving. Hope PIG mum remembers to gimme some rice for arvo tea!
• Will plop online before Lorraine takes me to QUT for Toastmasters; originally that was gonna be the changeover function @ the pub but that's been pushed back to the 2nd Tuesday next month (July).
• Not really looking forward to getting an UnHappy Meal with an orange juice for dinner since I'm not three anymore, but hey. *sigh*
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^P.S. Tee hee, I've managed FIVE posts tonight!  Yeah, that's possible some Mondays, but Tuesday's only gonna get one/maybe two~ XD

Monday Post 600d

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 4037 (sweet I'm just over four grand; that doesn't happen too often!) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Winning The Battle'. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• When PIG mum sent me off to the loo @ 7:24pm, I used the toilet for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle then over to the gobbling :P table, calling when I passed the gobbling :P table, "Baba! Come down for dinner!" Dad calls back, "Coming!"
• Dinner tonight: last night's dinner leftovers, with lotsa additional chokos and lotsa additional carrot. Unsure why we can't ever enjoy a meal out without taking away some home for a  meal the next day, but hey.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the gobbling :P table I walked myself sloowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• Gotta complete my GCCW homework now!  Fingers crossed I can bbl after  one last loo trip @ 9pm withn my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms else wishing everyone a smashing Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 600c

So hopefully bbl with today's events continuing, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^  
P.S.

Brisbane toms: 14-24. Mt. Gravatt toms: 12-23. Sunrise: 6:37am Sunset 5:03pm
P.P.S. Anyways, continuing today's events?

• When Angelica announced her arrival precisely @ 3:45pm, both PIG mum and I went to answer the door.
• So a nice hot shower for me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Angelica who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was two different fruits (maybe passionfruit and banana), about one plain cracker and one big mug of delicious Ceylon tea from Angelica sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar.  Thanks to Angelica who grabbed me Rosie Batty's 'A Mother's Story to read; I happily read that for one hour, reaching page twenty-five @ exactly 4:55pm. Hard to believe it's been one whole DECADE since Rosie Batty became Australian Of the Year ...
• After reading for one hour, I had ten minutes to happily play Jewels.
• With five minutes before Angelica left, I sat over the loo for two more tinkles. Originally Angelica was  gonna dash off four minutes early but suddenly PIG mum kept her to exactly the right time by giving her something ... black sesame? No, black fungus!
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 107TH time. All the things I like recording are above this post's dot points.
• Toms: Angelica's coming @ 9:30am, helping me up, taking me to Pinelands Plaza to  buy groceries from Coles and get our bahn mis (and hopefully Vietnamese iced coffee and fat meatballs XD) from the Pinelands Bakehouse, come home for lunch but leave @ 12:15pm since I've got NAB physio with Mandy from 1-2 and then seeing me home and showered before leaving @ 4pm.
• Then  @ 5:30pm, Lorraine's taking me to Toastmasters! Must remember to ask PIG mum please to gimme some rice for arvo tea since I'm only getting an UnHappy Meal for dinner toms night. *sigh*
• Anyways, hopefully bbl after dinner, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers (again XD),
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 600b

 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 3476 steps (so promise I'll have cracked 3.5 grand before the day's out XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'How We Must Fight For Holiness' (sounds familiar; wasn't that yesterday's devotion?); thirdly, TWFT topic's "Don't Burn Out (2)" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Entangled' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed EIGHTMEEN MINUTES online after Angelica minds me from 3:45pm till 5:45pm!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 7:15am 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*
• I'd barely fallen back asleep when dearest dad came and kissed me bye, saying he's working @ Aunty Yvonne's place! After retucking me back into bed, dad promised he'd come home and eat lunch with me~
• After dad left, Daddy Bear and I cuddled and snored, me waking once more for the pot :P when woken by PIG mum's 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 the bra, tee and jumper before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• When I tell PIG mum that I've mostly independently kitted myself, she comes back and finishes 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 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 another (and last) of the yummy pork floss buns I helped PIG mum make recently with one bowl of warmed healthy cereal, 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*
• Breakfast finished, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the bathroom, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage.
• At Ray's, I use the loo for another tinkle then lay down for some acupuncture and massage. PIG mum's in her element yapping unceasingly @ Ray; grateful thanks to Ray who always replied and kept a conversation flowing.  Actually, PIG mum deserves commendation once: she controlled herself pretty well today and only repeated two words three times! XD
• After another loo trip I said my thanks and byes to Ray and then climbed back into PIG mum's car. Not seeing him next week since it's semester break and he's taking his girls holidaying like interstate! Originally, I thought PIG mum would book me into see Aunty Anna for some massage and acupuncture instead but turns out she doesn't like Aunty Anna since she thinks her workplace smells? Dunno, perhaps expect a super-pissy plodding total from me next Monday, then ...
• Instead, we went to Sunnybank Hills Shopping town, caught the lift up onto level four and bought two new towels from KMart! Personally, I'm just disappointed there weren't any red ones; I wanted to buy another bloody towel for usage when Peggy's around! XD
• Back home, Bettina was already cleaning and dad had me immediately come inside, sit down and have lunch, which was one bowl of last night's dinner leftovers. Unsure why we  can never enjoy a full meal out without bring home some for lunch the next day, but hey.
• Lunch was washed down with one huge mug of green tea; after using the loo for one more tinkle I walked myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Bettina knocked off and left two minutes early, but hey. Thanks to her who walked with me down the hallway since she'd just mopped the floor and 'twas slippery.
• Angelica's minding me from 3:45pm till 5:45pm. Must remember to ask her please to find me a new book to read.
• Toms: Angelica's back from 9:30pm till 4pm. Presuming she'll help me up, take me to Pinelands Coles to buy groceries and get my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse, come home and eat lunch, drive me out to the NAB for physio @ 12:15pm (hope Kat remembers to visit!) and take me back home for a shower.
• At 5:30pm, Lorraine's taking me to Toastmasters! Originally that was our changeover function @ the pub but that's been pushed back till the 2nd Tuesday for June since Viktor's away currently!
• Looking forward to bringing some dinner back from Maccas; never mind that UnHappy Meals were what I ate surely three DECADES ago! *sigh*
• Righteo, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 600d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3608. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• 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: late morning appointment to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD
• She's said we can go grocery shopping and aisle walking afterwards become coming home for lunch with dearest dad, so I'm expecting I'll have passed one grand. XD
• Hopefully Bettina remembers to come clean for two hours and hopefully Angelica can grab me a new book to read when she comes and minds me from 3:30pm till 5:30pm!
• Fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 107TH time!
•  Gonna go read match reports and bask in the Broncos' glory now! XD Fingers crossed I can watch the full match replay toms!

Sunday Post 600c

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3541 (ha, I'm just over 3.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "Life's Hard".  Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• After I dried the loo seat I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped both feet dry, washed and dried Era 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.
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 106TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post. 
• When PIG mum called dinnertime, I used the loo for one tinkle and then climbed into the backseat of her car. Thanks too her who kindly helped me with my seatbelt both ways this time, since I've got seriously sh*tty night vision post brain injury (amongst other disabilities. ><) *sigh*
• Like previous Sundays, dinner was @ Ho Lin Wah. Dad found a car park nearly right outside the entrance; perhaps 'twas a bit later than usual?
• The set meals didn't suit me today but dad ordered some omelette with rice, and I had about one bowl of that; 'twas yummy! I also drank half the set soup, one cup of Chinese tea, about 1.5 deep fried cuttlefish balls and just over one mouthful of the HK-style milk tea. The head waitress came over for a chat; her name's Debbie and she's got a twenty-four-year-old daughter.
• Once dad tootled us home, I walked myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Anyways, hopefully brb following 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 week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  
  

Sunday Post 600b

Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3155. Ha, I'm over three grand. XD Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• Once I'd used up the most important two hours of my day, I used the loo for one tinkle and then sat @ the gobbling :P table for arvo tea. Thanks to PIG mum who'd left me one gloopy mouthful of passionfruit, one plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea.
• Since I'd finished the book I was reading, instead I did the crossword and the other word games from the newspaper I'd bought three days ago!
• When PIG mum tumbled downstairs from pigland and ordered me off to go shower, I walked myself slowly and safely into the bathroom, 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 - 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 done after only 9% but happily leaned fully against the right-side side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling PIG mum back.
• Since she'll not even help me dry my back anymore, once she dried the back of the chair and passed me the towel, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until my bra strap needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
• After I dried the loo seat I sat  for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped  both feet dry, washed and dried Era  and then walked myself slow - bbl!

• Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's, read by Paul Taylor) for the 106TH time: Trump, Tomasi, Netanyahu, Ayatollah (first name), Khamenei, Godfrey, Yoav (first name), Dure, Ward, Probyn, Albanese, Marles, Morrison, Amin (first name), Saikal, Ty (first  name), Simon, Todhunter, Riki, Gross, Cohen, Greer, Janetzki, Nicholls, Mellish, Geran, Anika (first name), Wells, Butler, Abbott, Bellamy, Munster (heard), Katoa (heard), Bostock (heard), Wilson, Bova, Cox, Hyd, Korda, Thitikul, Feeney, Waters, Neisler, Toole, Hardwick, Sof (first name), Rowell, Schwarzneckrt, Price and Tsimpikas.

Sunday Post 600

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2642 steps (ha, I'm over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Satisfaction That Defeats Sin'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Don't Burn Out (1)" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Leave It With God'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! I'd actually woken twice with a full bladder, once during deep night and the other time when the sky had started lightening but not enough to see the clock clearly yet; both times I'd asked my bladder could I fall back asleep without accident/should I use the pot and she'd replied, nah, sleep.
• Around 7:05am/7:15am PIG mum let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with the bra strap, tee and jumper before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes and using the pot :P once more first.
• When I inform PIG mum that I've mostly independently kitted myself, she comes back and finishes with only Elf's ADO 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 those delicious pork floss buns I'd helped PIG mum make last night with one bowl of warmed healthy cereal, all my usual drugs :P and one full cup of milk. 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.

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 toilet, 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 and parks under the service hall. I hike up the ramp, use the last cubicle of the normal female loo for one tinkle, wash and dry both hands and then grab my usual spot in the service hall. PIG mum rushes back upstairs for CSS.
• 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 Tyvus; his sermon topic was "A Story Of One's Life".
• After service ended fifteen minutes early, PIG mum collected me, I used the disabled loo for one tinkle, grabbed a biscuit for morning tea and then sat outside the service hall.
• Uncle Tandy wandered over and said hi; after finishing work for Shanrex he's become a support worker for a company sth like (but not) Anglicare!
• Suddenly dad tries to make me leave with him to lunch! I refuse, since today's my lunch out once every two months out with all the other ESS people. Luckily Dr. Lee's standing slightly in front of me; I walk over to him, ask are there any lunch plans yet and when Dr. Lee replies yes ask next will you please take me?
• Phew Dr. Lee does; today lunch's @ Mien, the Korean-style Chinese food place where Runcorn Plaza Hot Bread was formerly!
• I order orange fried chicken with one bowl of rice: delicious! <3 Thanks to Bernard who pours me a cup of water and grabs me a fork from the drawer built into the side of the table since he's seated @ the end.
• Lol I eat so slowly everyone else leaves! I ask should I shovel the rest into my gob but Bernard says nah, take your time. 
• Angie sat beside me eating some kinda seafood pasta and we chatted; she's doing 3rd year architecture @ uni! I told her that my respect for her has gone up one million levels: I was the useless flunk that got a D+ in grade eight high school graphics! XD
• Lunch finished, Bernard hands me back Sticky and walks behind me back to his car. During the drive home I tell him Uncle Tandy came over and said hi; would he remember which company he's doing carer work for now? Not Anglicare but sth like that ... whoops, Bernard doesn't remember either.  XD
• PIG mum's still out socialising with her aunty friends; it's dearest dad who opens the door for me. Back inside, I use the loo for one more tinkle and then walk 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.
• Toms: 11am appointment to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage; bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD
• She says we can grocery shop before coming home for lunch with dearest dad so should have passed 1000 steps before Monday ends.
• Have just emailed Michelle asking her to fill the TBAs in my roster for this week.
• Anyways, hopefully bbl after dinner else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead! 
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 600c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4130. Sweet I'm over four grand; that doesn't happen very often! Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post I started reading and sharing Facebook memories!
• 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: just church, definitely nothing special. Actually, the special thing's that I'm finally joining other ESS people for lunch! Unsure why dad made up the odd rule that I can only have lunch out with other church peoples only once every TWO MONTHS while he and PIG mum get to enjoy morning/arvo tea with their mates EVERY WEEK, but hey. Hope someone chooses somewhere with copious amounts of good food!
• The Broncos are playing @ 2pm;  unsure why Nine's not showing it?
• Then fingers crossed that dad will take us out for dinner @ some restaurant; that'll be only the first time I've been lucky enough to have both lunch and dinner out, and we're nearly halfway through the year!
• Anyways, looking forward to  seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 600b

• PIG mum got dad too start dinner without me; I joined after the news had finished.
• Dinner tonight: rice, leftovers from the cooking Dorrie and I did yesterday and one piece of delicious BBQ duck that dearest dad brought back for me!
• After dinner, I helped PIG mum make tuna buns! Actually, the tuna hasn't appeared yet, but I measured and added ingredients.
• Before returning online, I walked myself slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Righteo, hopefully bbl  after one last tinkle 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!

Saturday Post 600

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3614 steps (ha, I'm over 3.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Grace Is Pardon - And Power!'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Understanding The Word 'Imputed' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Steadfast In God's Will." Anyways, events for today?

• Nature called once around 12:15am; 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*
• Daddy Bear and I cuddle and happily cuddle and snore. After nature calls again, following another pot :P trip, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• More happy cuddling and snoring from Daddy Bear and me, PIG mum's daily noisy a-THUMPING around waking me for one more loo trip around 9:15am. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before returning outside and awaiting Catherine's arrival @ 9:30am.
• Once PIG mum lets Catherine in, Catherine enters my room and bids me good morning. When I flop Daddy Bear's paw @ her she goes fifteen more minutes, okay? Another paw flop from Daddy Bear and she wisely removes herself, phew, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
• Dunno did Catherine forget to come back but after I'd used the pot :P for one tinkle and got kitted I headed out to the bathroom to brush teeth while Catherine went hunting for Wally since 'twas already 10am!
• After brushing teeth, I drank one tall mug 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! 

• After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Catherine and munch my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast plus a very thin layer of avocado. I drink my first big mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey, pop all my usual drugs :P and happily read for thirty minutes first up, FINISHING THE BOOK @ 10:33! The Great Dragon Zoo Of China was beside me; I just grabbed that and continued reading, finishing pg. 325 @ exactly 10:40.
• While Catherine closed and locked windows, I used the loo for one tinkle and then climbed into the passenger seat of Catherine's car. Thanks to her who helped me with my seatbelt all day. She tootled us off to Underwood MarketPlace, parking round the side and grabbing a trolley for us.
• Unsure why PIG mum didn't want any groceries from Woolies? We just bought a big mug from Big W (to replace the one Dorrie accidentally dropped yesterday) and my honey chicken sushi roll for arvo tea.
• Back home I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Catherine who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was maybe one bowl of rice leftovers but thanks to Catherine who made me two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey!
• After one more tinkle, Catherine tootled me too church to play table tennis with dearest dad before she returned to Big W and bought the cup and honey chicken sushi again since she forgot to put them back into the carboot while I climbed back into the car! XD
• For the first time ever, I played three times straight before breaking! Usually dad and I play together once before breaking and sometimes we play twice together before breaking but today after having played twice suddenly Uncle Simon goes let's play! Aww, he's so hark hei~ I possibly could've played a 4th match straight but for nature calling! XD
• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat to munch arvo tea (Catherine brought me another honey chicken sushi roll but PIG mum didn't lemme know even though she said she would XD), drink one huge mug of green tea and hopefully read for another two hours and ten minutes since it's only Saturday that I can  read for three hours! I reached pg. 275 @ 2:48pm, finished pg. 300 @ 3:07pm, found the book title on pg. 306 and FINISHED THE BOOK @ 3:23! Continuing reading (author interview, etc.), I reached pg. 525 @ 3:31, finished the author interview @ 3:47pm and FINALLY FINISHED EVERYTHING @ 3:40! Have messaged PIG mum asking her please to grab me a new book to read toms; hope she will!
• One more tinkle for me before plopping online.
• At 5:30pm I walked myself 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.

• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 105TH time.
• Toms: just church, nothing special. Actually, the special things that I'm gonna have lunch out with other ESS peoples toms! Unsure why dad made the rule that I can only join for lunch once every two MONTHS while he and PIG mum enjoy meals out with their mates WEEKLY but I'm looking forward to it!
• But come 2pm hopefully I'm watching the Broncos play the Sharks!
• Then should dad take us out for our once-weekly family dinner together out, will that be the first time this year I've been lucky enough to have both lunch and dinner out?? We're nearly halfway through 2025!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl,  else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 600c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 3510. Ha, I'm literally just over 3.5 grand. XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• Lol, PIG mum was so eager to gleefully force poor Ela on one set of those FitMi exercises for her she came over five minutes early! Hence why I ended the previous post and shared Facebook memories until 8:30pm exactly.
• Tonight doing one set took about twenty-four minutes. After PIG mum returned the keyboard and Wally to me, I spent the remaining six-odd minutes continuing to read and share Facebook memories.
• At 9pm I walk 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: it's Catherine minding me from 9:30am! PIG mum says we can go to Underwood Marketplace to buy my arvo tea sushi roll; wonder will she also lemme buy a new big mug from Big W to replace the one Dorrie accidentally broke today? Lol she nearly gave me a heart attack; think she was gonna rinse out the big mug but instead she dropped it? I was facing the stove but heard the smash and Dorrie screech; I immediately screeched too "Dorrie are you okay?!" She wails back "Sorry I broke your cup!" I quickly reply, "But are YOU okay?!" Phew she was! When she bends down and starts picking up shattered cup pieces PIG mum suddenly appears. I quickly say broken cup, mum. Dorrie dropped it but don't worry, she's not hurt.
• Once Dorrie leaves PIG mum feeds me arvo tea (one juicy orange/mandarin; I trade one slice of either with her), one plain cracker and one big mug of powdered HK-style milk tea.
• I happily read the book club novel for one hour, finishing pg. 400 @ 4:06pm.
• Whoops less than ten minutes left, so just super-briefly:
• Watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 104TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• Ate what I cooked with Dorrie this arvo for dinner.
• Toms: Catherine's minding me from 9:30; PIG mum says we can go walkies @ Underwood  MarketPlace and she'll drop me off @ church for table tennis with dearest dad before leaving.
• Looking forward to my two big mugs of white tea with one big spoonful of honey and hoping to read for three hours; will skip watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 105TH time for that!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 600b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 3477 (so I'm trusting I'll cracked 3.5 grand before the night's out) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Who Are The Elect?' Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• Physio today: Standing 🧍‍♂️ practice, weight left shift, stepping for Erf while Elf gets 30kg on scale, fourteen laps parallel bars walking 🚶‍♀️️, eighteen laps long hallway walking and thirty double leg push-ups on tower of power. Only during/after the parallel bar walking, Ashleigh suddenly feels unwell and leaves! o_O Some Chinese girl comes over and finishes the session with me, but I've already forgotten her name, sorry. XD
• I was slightly nervous that the student didn't walk me back out to the waiting room before leaving but I had sticky with me and kept very close to the wall so wasn't @ danger of falling. Also, I bumped into Kat! She said she had sth for me and originally, I would've hiked up to level three to her cupboard-office to get it, but then she said she'd have to find it, hence why I told her to find me next week when I'm @ the NAB.
• After one more loo trip (I sat for two tinkles since I was tired after two hours of physio while Peggy sat on the shower bench) Peggy tootled me home and I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, for lunch Peggy made me a tuna in tomato and onion toastie with TWO cheese, HEAVILY buttered (on the inside) and one big mug of white tea sweetened with one big spoonful of honey.
• At 1:55pm I sat over the loo before signing Peggy off with my thanks and byes; she's back same time next week and is doing her usual weekend work.
• Once Peggy left, Dorrie came and cooked some  kinda stew with me! Photos are on Facebook~
• After she left, for arvo tea I had one little yummy mandarin, one bigger slice of orange, one plain cracker and one huge mug of powdered HK-style milk tea, since PIG mum and I'd forgotten it yesterday.
• Happily read the book club novel for one hour, finishing pg. 300 @ 4:06pm.
• Used the loo for one tinkle, popped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 104TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• PIG mum said dinner was ready once the news was finished; I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 600

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3389 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Offense Of Fearing Man'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'God Uses Damaged People' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'And God Sent ... Moths?' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 104TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Honestly, what's the point of praying @ night and asking God please don't send the noisy garbage truck THUNDERING down our road and tipping bins until the sky has lightened sufficiently for me to see the time from the clock stuck to the wall if He's just gonna say screw you and send that noisy garbage truck blasting  down BEFORE the Sun had risen?? Suppose I can @ least be thankful that the sky had started lightening; one Friday, God deliberately sent that truck thundering down the road that early, the sky hadn't even started lightening yet and was still pitch black! *sigh* 
• I just said screw you back @ God and successfully fell back asleep without accident, phew. Daddy Bear and I cuddle and snore, me finally waking for a pot :P trip when dearest dad comes and kisses me bye @ 7:45am before leaving for Aunty Yvonne's place.
• After dearest dad kisses me bye and retucks me back into bed, I use the pot :P for one tinkle before I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*

•  Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am just before noisy PIG mum begins her usual daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give Elf a very brief rub (since she ignored her last night) before going back outside and awaiting Peggy's arrival.

• Once PIG mum lets Peggy inside, Peggy knocks, pushes open the door and announces good morning. When I wave Daddy Bear's paw back @ her, she next states fifteen more minutes.  Another paw flop and she wisely removes herself, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD

• When Peggy returns, I sit over the pot :P for three more tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy 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 Peggy, who tells me that she ate her usual two hardboiled eggs for breakfast this morning.

• For my breakfast, I slurp one bowl of plain porridge mixed with some healthy cereal and munch one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread with avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt. I also drink one full mug of water and pop all my usual drugs. :P 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*

• Breakfast finished, Peggy accompanies me back to the toilet before going back to the kitchen and washing up my breakfast stuff. 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 Auto (pronounced Alto) and Peggy tootles mew off to UQ for physio. Thanks to her who kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt both ways.

• We had a fantastic run and had already arrived by 9:34am! Hence happily played Jewels for like twenty minutes before heading upstairs, using the loo for one tinkle and then sitting in the waiting room and awaiting Ashley fetching me.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Friday's the 3rd to reach SIX HUNDRED posts! XD
  P.P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (read by Melissa Downes) for the 104TH time: Arvier, Mikelberg, Irving, Trump, Karoline (first name), Leavitt, Rodriguez, Butler (heard), Probyn, Suss, Gilbert (heard), Brunowski, Rubio (heard), Rawlings, Leary, Alexa (heard), Crisafulli, Palaszczuk (heard), Geran, Richardson (heard), Brown, Paige, Wright, Marshall, Dewberry, Ramsay, Kohler, Makenna (first name), Baily, Blanchett, Long, Feeney (heard), Labuschagne, Konstas, Khawaja (heard),  Tamika (first name), Black (heard), Cavallaro, Sherriff, Uptin, Brigginshaw,  Horsburgh, Bellamy, Coates (heard), Cronk (heard), Rogers, Baracloff (heard), Math,ann, Slater (heard), Munster (heard), Whoopi (first name), Juergens, Golberg, Gerber and Bradnam.

Thursday Post 600c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3785. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• Sweet, after publishing the previous post I had nearly thirty minutes to play Jewels! PIG mum couldn't wait to gleefully force poor Ela to do one set of those FitMi exercises for her and had come over by 8:27pm but I just ignored her and watched the under 17s play Origin!
• Exercises done, I had nearly eight minutes to keep playing Jewels~
• At 9pm, I walk myself 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.
• Yay that tonight's ice cream night; like I say every week, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Toms: Peggy's minding me 9:30pm till 2pm but PIG mum'll help me up first since I'm leaving once Peggy arrives: I'm got two hours doing physio @ the NAB with Ashley!
• Peggy will see me home and showered before leaving @ 2pm before Dorrie comes for some cooking with me! I'm just disappointed that she's chosen some flavourless recipe for me to cook toms. XD
• Looking forward to reading for one hour after she leaves; also fingers crossed that I can watch the 6pm news bulletin  for the 104TH time!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing end to the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 600b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3724 (so  shan't reach four grand tonight, sorry XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Clean Air'. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• When dearest dad came downstairs after showering, PIG mum ordered me off to the loo.
• After one tinkle, I washed and dried Era and then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: leftover fried rice, topped with a mountain of some soupy green vegetable and carrot.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowlful of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink, I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• At around 7:45pm, nature suddenly called and 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.
• Will haveta let  PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela on one set of those FitMi  exercises @ 8:30pm. *sigh*
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after one final loo trip after I've done those  exercises for PIG mum 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 their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 600

 Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total from last night's actually 4704; secondly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's 'The Bread Of Adversity'; thirdly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3361 steps; fourthly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'How To Plead For Unbelievers'; fifthly, TWFT topic's 'Have A God Perspective' and sixthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'One In Christ'. Anyways, let's start off with yesterday's (just briefly) events first!

• Took a hike around Underwood Lake with Pole, had a quick lie-down in the sunlounge and then we had morning tea on that big table bench!
• Melissa took me to play table tennis and there was cake! Leftover from Sunday's comp, but still! There was actually another piece, since Howard the coach was celebrating his birthday!
• Got home, showered and then Mel dropped me off @ Dr. Lee's place for our GG hotpot/social/Origin Two!
• QUEENSLAND WON!! :D
• Back home, repeat the usual nightly events and zzz~ Oh, Dr. Lee gets a special mention for getting down on bended knee and helping me retie Erf's shoelace, which had become undone. Usually, I'm pretty good with checking before walking anywhere but 'twas late last night, I was still feeling euphoric after Queensland's win last night and I simply forgot. ^^" Erf has better sensation than Elf; since I felt she'd become undone I asked Dr. Lee umm, is my right shoelace undone? He said yes! Here, pause a sec and I'll retie it for you. Think that was the first time anyone had gotten down on bended knee to help me! XD
• Today: yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 8:20am (prolly coz Origin ended late last night and I didn't hit the sack till after 10:30pm), and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since I knew PIG mum would get very noisy about one hour later! Actually, I may have slept later, but for dearest dad coming to kiss me bye before working @ Aunty Yvonne's place~
• When PIG mum's daily a-THUMPING around upstairs wakes me, I use the pot :P again before 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* During that time, PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me into my room before giving Elf a very brief rub, since obviously she'd not done that last night.
• After PIG mum lets Karina in, Karina knocks, pushes open the door and murmurs "Good morning, Emily ..." When I wave Daddy Bear's Paw @ her she next says "Hitting the snooze button for fifteen more minutes ..." Another flop of Daddy Bear's paw and she thankfully removes herself, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Buj. XD
• When Karina comes back, I sit over the pot :P for three more tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who squirted some toothpaste for me.
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table with Karina, rousing @ her for AGAIN skipping breakfast.
• For my breakfast I slurp one bowl of plain porridge and munch 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, Karina accompanies me back to the toilet before returning to the kitchen and washing up my breakfast dishes. 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 Karina's car. She kindly helps me with my seatbelt (what she does all day) and then she tootles me off to Breathe for  physio with Winnie.
• Physio today: 1.876km bike ride, 36 leg-assisted pull-ups, 36 steps for Erf, 36 v-cable rows for both hands, 36 leg extensions for Elf, 36 leg curls for Elf, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing!
• After one more tinkle in the ambulant stall of the female toilets (CZ258 unlocks it), Karina tootled us back to Warrigal Square and grabbed us a trolley before we both bought groceries @ Woolies. Unsure why dad won't lemme sit down @ the self-serve checkouts, Peggy and Karina both do! Before coming home, I also bought the Courier Mail from the newsagency since there weren't any @ Woolies!
• Took a nice hot shower when I got home - 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 tuna in tomato and onion tuna toastie with only one slice of cheese and unbuttered plus one huge mug of herbal tea. Karina cleaned the bathroom before I signed her off with my thanks and byes. She's back next Thursday and taking me to GCCW!
• After lunch I sat and happily read the Courier Mail and before plopping online, used the loo for one tinkle. Have needed to go twice more after that; PIG  mum says it's coz I've not been sweating?
• Tonight's ice cream night; like I say every week, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm. She's taking me to the NAB for a two-hour physio session with Ashleigh before Dorrie comes over for some cooking!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl tonight, else hope everyone has a smashing end to the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 599

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3135 steps (ha, I'm over three grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Serve God With Your Thirst'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Christians, Keep Your Sword Sharp' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Clinging  To God's Promises" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY MINUTES left online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's)  for the 102ND time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 8th consecutive awesome sleep last night! I was awake, but not enough   to know that I was awake until dearest dad came, kissed me bye and  retucked me back into bed before for work @ Aunty Yvonne's place around 7:45am? After dad left, I used the pot :P for one tinkle before 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 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 giving Elf a very brief rub since she'd ignored her and left me to get myself to bed last night.
• After PIG mum lets Angelica inside @ 9:30am, Angelica knocks, pushes open the door and cheerfully bids me good morning. When I wave Daddy Bear's paw @ her, she squeals, "Oh, hi, teddy!" Another wave from Daddy Bear's paw and she next says, "Fifteen more minutes, okay?" One final wave from Daddy Bear's paw and she wisely removes herself, phew, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
• When 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. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table with Angelica, rousing @ her for skipping breakfast this morning and informing her she can buy me 2nd breakfast when she buys herself breakfast this morning while we're buying groceries for PIG mum @ Coles. Angelica just roars with laughter. XD
• For breakfast, I slurp one bowl of plain porridge mixed with some Fruity Bites and munch one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with avocado and lightly sprinkled with avocado, 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* Also, Angelica makes me one big mug of white tea sweetened with two sugars, since she's found where PIG mum's hidden it/bought her own! :D
• After breakfast, Angelica walks behind me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing up my breakfast dishes. 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 Angelica's car and she tootles us out to Pinelands Plaza to buy groceries from Coles. Thanks to her who helps me with my seatbelt all day.
• At Coles, Angelica grabs a trolley for us and then we buy groceries before heading down to Pinelands Bakehouse where I buy my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from Aunty Nancy.
• Back home, I use the loo for one tinkle then we sit @ the gobbling :P table to enjoy lunch; when I bought the bahn mi, Angelica bought herself twoo/three skewers of those really fat pork balls.

Monday Post 599e

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3135. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I started reading and sharing my Facebook memories. PIG mum had already come over and was like salivating to gleefully force poor Ela on one set of those FitMi exercises for her, but I just ignored her until 8:30pm. XD
• Tonight one set took twenty-eight minutes, after which I spent two minutes continuing to read and share my Facebook memories.
• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: Angelica's coming @ 9:30am. We're buying groceries from Coles Pinelands plus my weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from the Pinelands bakehouse before coming home for lunch.
• At 12:15pm Angelica's taking me to the NAB for one hour's physio; hope I get a nice student!
• She'll see me home and showered before leaving @ 4:30pm.
• I'm planning to read the book club novel for one hour, pop online for a while and watch the 6pm news for the 102ND time!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Tee hee, I've managed FIVE posts tonight! Yeah, that's possible some Mondays.  XD

Monday Post 599d

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3081 (ha, I'm just over three grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'He Wrote The Book'. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• My achievement for the day:  I retrieved the pot :P from the bathroom, put it back into the commode and peed there! Dunno why PIG mum got pissed when she found it?
• When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner @ 7:34pm/7:25pm/7:29pm, I used the loo for one more tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: leftover fried rice and leftover hotpot from Saturday (sliced pork, sliced chicken and one cuttlefish ball) buried under a mound of lettuce and some other vegetable I've since forgotten.
• Dinner was spooned down with a disgusting 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.
• *sigh* PIG mum's already demanded Ela do those FitMi exercises for her @ 8:30, I'd better hurry up and finish sharing my Facebook memories!
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after one final loo trip after I've done those FitMi exercises with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms, else wishing everyone a smashing Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Monday Post 599c

 Good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2785. Anyways, potential final, final events for tonight?

• Lunch was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• When the carer announced her arrival @ precisely 4pm, both PIG mum and I went and answered the door. I've not seen Nazbeen for months!
• So a nice very hot shower for me - hairwash today. Also thanks too Nazbeen who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. While I showered, Nazbeen reminded me that she's from Fiji and has two daughters - both who are studying nursing but from two different universities!
• I had one tinkle before Nazbeen turned the nice hot water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Nazbeen rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was doing Elf's AFO straps and one last when I was drying inside the ears with a tissue.
• Back outside, arvo tea was one yummy banana, one plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea. Nazbeen cleaned the bathrooom, chatted with PIG mum about vegetables then left @ 4:40pm. Think she lives in Forest Lake?
• Happily read the book club novel for one hour, reaching pg. 222 @ 4:33pm and pg. 225 @ 4:39pm.
• Was gonna use the loo for one tinkle before returning online but silly Nazbeen's gone and closed the toilet lid! >< Hopefully PIG mum'll come downstairs and lift it, else I'll haveta. *sigh*
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 101ST time!
• Toms: Angelica's minding me from 9:30am till 4:30pm. Presuming we'll buy groceries from Coles, get my once-weekly crunchy pork  bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse and then come home for lunch before Angelica takes me out to the NAB for physio with a new student.
• Physio will last one hour and then Angelica will see me home and showered before leaving @ 4:30pm. I'm looking forward to reading the book club novel for another hour and then watching the 6pm news for the 102ND time!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl  after dinner, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!

Monday Post 599b

 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 2606 steps (ha, I'm over two grand XD); second, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Honeymoon That Never Ends'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Rejoice - Day Forty-one's Coming!' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's Changed By The Spirit' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FOURTEEN MINUTES online after someone from Staffing Option's minds me from 3:30pm till 5:30pm!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 7th consecutive awesome sleep last night; that's already the 12TH time this year I've scored one whole week of awesome sleeps! Dare I dream I might reach twenty-five weeks again?? Nah, don't need to: PIG mum explains that it doesn't matter when nature calls during the night since I can always fall back asleep easily.
• Nature didn't call  until 7:45am and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking to use the pot :P for one more tinkle when dearest dad comes to kiss me bye and retuck me back into bed before going and working @ Aunty Yvonne's place.
• More happy cuddling and snoring for Daddy Bear and I, me waking for the pot :P once more around 9am shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my bedroom to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with the bra strap, tee and jumper before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Breakfast is one bowl of plain porridge very lightly sprinkled with some Fruity Bites with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and apparently 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 eating breakfast, I walked myself slowly and safely back to the bathroom, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I walked myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• When PIG mum's finished getting ready, I climb into the backseat of her car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage and we also listen to her mix of Chinese pop all day too.
• 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 ceaselessly @ Ray (today she repeats @ least one syllable five times before continuing XD); my grateful thanks to Ray who always replied and kept a conversation flowing.
• After one more tinkle, PIG mum tootled us back to Warrigal Square, where she parks in a pram spot since all the disabled parks are taken. First, I accompany her to the Post Office where she sends sth and then we buy groceries from Woolies before heading home for lunch with dearest dad.
• Odd, Bettina's did not arrive! PIG mum rings around for her while dad prepared lunch for us, some yummy fried rice heaped with boiled cabbage and soup carrot  @ the top.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 599c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2308. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After another loo trip, Karina tootled me home.  Thankful for another smooth run back and delighted that Karina wanted a slushie/frozen Coke since she decided my new ribbons deserved celebrating and got a soft serve cone for me! :D
• Whoops, just super-briefly, since I'm  outta time:
• Took a nice hot shower - hairwash  today. Also thanks to Karina who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was one yummy banana, one plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea.
• Happily read for one hour, reaching pg. 200 @ 4:21pm.
• Started watching the news but that was delayed by @ least fifteen minutes since the arvo NRL match was postponed while a storm passed through! Meaning I started watching the news but was less than halfway through when dad got hoome from badminton with his mates plus arvo tea out and demanded we leave.
• Had a spot of dinner from Ho Lin Wah.
• Toms: PIG mum'll help me up, since I'm seeing Ray for some late morning. Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ unceasingly @ him. XD
• But she says we can go grocery shopping and aisle walking afterwards so hopefully I'll have passed one grand before coming home for lunch with dearest dad.
• Have just emailed Michelle asking her to fill in the TBAs for the roster this week.
• Second time lucky that I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 101ST time~
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Heylo  again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2074 (ha, I'm just over two grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "God's Initiative" but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-ONE MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, continuing today's events?

• Oh, Karina had arrived @ 8:30pm and she'd covered me with sunscreen before accompanying me back to the bathroom then returning to the kitchen and washing up my breakfast dishes.
• After washing and drying Era, I climbed into the passenger seat of Karina's car. Thanks to her who kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt both ways, before she tootled me down to the Gold Coast for the para table tennis comp! Before that, she refueled her car first; when I said I was suffering from depresso since I hadn't had my expresso yet so please bring me back some coffee, Karina really DID bring me back a cappuccino! 'Twas yucky and bitter but hey: I needed the Caffeine.  XD Actually, Karina initially boarded the motorway the wrong way and we started heading to the Sunshine Coast! XD
• We had a very smooth run down to the Gold Coast Table Tennis place; on arrival Karina took me to the loo once and some lady rushed over and demanded pay; ten  bucks for today's comp, I think?
• I won my first singles match against Gary (he won the first set  but I won the next three) butt then I got flogged three straight sets by Nicole! >< XD
• Kim's chocolate cake was awesome; what was even better was that after the match with Gary Karina decided I needed more sustenance so cut me another slice! :D
• For lunch I met Nicole's parents; they were making our salad rolls for us! I chose chicken and asked for no beetroot but lotsa mayo please! Wonder will they ever add cheese?
• For doubles I was paired with Chris from Redcliffe! He's very chatty; wonder what kinda intellectual disability he's got? Came second again with him~
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 599

 Good afternoon!

•  Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night!
