Monday, October 13, 2025

Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4937 steps (so will definitely crack half a normal person before the night's out; woot); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Master Servant'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Have You Been Wounded In Church? (2) and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Is Two'. Anyways, events for today?

Woo hoo, 10TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 6:10am, and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P when dearest dad comes and kisses me bye before leaving for Aunty A's and doing some work.
Another hour of cuddling and snoring for Mini Pearl and me, nature calling once more 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 before returning outside and awaiting Peggy's arrival.
Once PIG mum lets Peggy in, Peggy knocks, opens the door and announces good morning. When I nod Mini Pearl @ her, she next states fifteen more minutes. This time I just flick Mini Pearl @ Peggy with a 'shoo' gesture; Peggy just smirks then wisely withdraws. XD
When Peggy comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who's already squirted some toothpaste for me.
Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table with Peggy, who tells me she had her usual two fried eggs for breakfast.
For my breakfast, I get one bowl of two/three plain (no honey) Weet-Bix with one slice of toast lightly spread with avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh* Once PIG mum leaves for her Pilates class, Peggy finds the golden syrup that she's hidden and makes me one massive mug of Earl grey tea sweetened with one spoonful of syrup, score!
After breakfast, Peggy slathers my face and arms with sunscreen, accompanies me back to the bathroom then returns to the kitchen and washes up the breakfast stuff., Over the loo I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Auto (pronounced Alto) and Peggy tootles me off to Breathe for physio. Thanks to her who kindly helped me with my seatbelt all day.
For some reason, Peggy always takes the disabled park @ the very end even though I've told her you're allowed to park after the first three spots? No biggie~
Physio today: 3.313km bike ride), six-minute walk tests, 40 bar-assisted pushups. 40 steps for Erf with left weight shift, 40 v-bar cable rows and boxing! That's the longest distance I've ever pedalled over fifteen minutes; unsure why Winnie wanted me to keep up the rpms?
After one loo trip (CZ258 opens the female toilets only 'twas already unlocked this morning) Peggy tootled me off to Pinelands Plaza for grocery shopping and lunch buying. Phew this week the disabled park was free~
Peggy grabbed a trolley for us and then we bought groceries from Coles. Phew that she lets me sit on the self-serve machine while she scans our items; unsure why the parents won't?
Back home, I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who rinses out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was my delicious crunchy pork bahn mi (Peggy exclaimed lotsa meat inside this time!) and another huge mug of Earl grey tea sweetened with one spoonful of syrup; after exiting the bathroom I told Peggy to put the syrup into the cup first; lest PIG mum suddenly arrive home and demand I drink some boring herbal tea instead. XD
Lol, @ least PIG mum said hello when she returned home before ordering I quieten my game by half; I told Peggy if you weren't here, she'd snap turn the volume down without saying hi. XD
I sat over the loo for two more tinkles @ 1:55pm while PIG mum immediately signed Peggy off and shooed her away; after washing and drying Era 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.
Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day online, I'll use the loo for one tinkle then sit @ the gobbling :P table and wait for PIG mum to gimme some RICE for arvo tea.
Lorraine's taking me to Toastmasters @ 5:30pm! I'm both warm-up and table topics master; the theme for tonight's playlists!
Toms: hope PIG mum helps me up not too late and takes me grocery shopping and aisle walking before coming home for lunch else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
Jane's taking me to table tennis toms (let there be cake; I've not had any for seemingly months!) then seeing me home and showered before leaving @ 6:30pm.
Waiting for David to get back to me re. dinner since he's taking me to GG for Bible study toms night.
Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3518. See, told you I'd crack three grand! XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

After publishing the previous post, I continued reading and sharing 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.
Dad suddenly comes over and hands me two slices of orange and a wet dishcloth to wipe my hand after with: they're really sweet!
Toms: Peggy's coming @ 9:30am, helping me up @ 9:45am and taking me to Breathe for physio with Winnie @ 11am. Must remember to ask her to help me download that app that tracks the time you walked, not just the distance!
Buying groceries with Peggy @ Coles Pinelands Plaza afterwards and getting my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from Aunty Nancy afterwards~
Looking forward to my most important two hours online of the day after Peggy sees me home, showered and fed with lunch~
Also looking forward to reading the book club novel for one hour before Lorraine takes me to Toastmasters!
Noot looking forward to getting an UnHappy Meal for dinner, but PIG mum had better lemme get a milkshake with it, to make up for the one I missed out on yesterday that I shook with the Hungry Jack's app!
Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Once the news ended, I read and shared the She Reads Truth daily devotional.
When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner @ 7:34pm, I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely over to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
Dinner tonight: leftovers from last night's dinner out plus lotsa cos lettuce and lotsa soup carrot.
Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
Anyways, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip pm 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 513

Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2978 steps (so will definitely have cracked three grand before Monday's out XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Beware Of Serving God'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Have You Been Wounded In Church? (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Gratitude To God'. Anyways, events for today?

Woo hoo, 9th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:10am and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P when dearest dad lets himself into my room to kiss me bye and retuck me back into bed before going to Aunty A's place for work.
More cuddling and snoring for Mini Pearl and me; nature calling once more around 9am shortly 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 give and give poor Elf a very brief rub since she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night. That's okay; Era rubbed Elf for fifteen minutes last night and let her wear her sock to sleep, although obviously she peeled it off first thing next morning! XD
When PIG mum lets Kelly in, she tells Kelly to gimme fifteen more minutes first.
After my fifteen more minutes, I use the pot :P for one 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 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.
Less than twenty minutes left, so just very briefly:
NAB physio with Catelin: she's twenty-five and from Canada! Physio today: Three-five rounds of standing blaze pods, reaching for Era with left weight shift, eight laps long hallway walking and thirty double leg pushups on the tower of power.
Got home and showered - hairwash today. Also thanks to Kelly who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was one yummy tuna in tomato and onion toastie with only one slice of cheese and one delicious mug of Chinese tea.
Used the loo for two more tinkles while PIG mum signed Kelly off and shooed her away @ 2pm; turns out both she and Bettina clean for Provide Another Mother!
Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day I'll use the toilet once, sit @ the table to read the book club novel for another hour and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea.
Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 208TH time!
Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm and taking me to Breathe for physio. Presuming we'll buy groceries @ Coles Pinelands Plaza afterwards; fingers crossed PIG mum'll lemme buy a yummy crunchy pork salad roll from the Pinelands Bakehouse for lunch!
Looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online and will remind PIG mum to please gimme some RICE for arvo tea since after Lorraine takes me to Toastmasters toms night, I'm only gonna get an UnHappy Meal for dinner!'
Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3196. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

After publishing the previous post, I read and shared the She Reads Truth daily devotional.
At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
Toms: Angelica's minding me from 9am till 2pm. Haven't seen her for a while! She's taking me for the first week of the final block for NAB physio. Hopefully she'll drop a swearword/two so I can order her to buy me a bubble tea for a fine. XD
Nothing happening after Angelica sees me home and showered. Looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online, reading the book club novel for one hour and watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 208TH time!
Righteo, wishing everyone a smashing week ahead~

Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3115 (ha, I was certain I'd pass 2500 but I'm over three grand, too!) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Can Jesus Count On You?' Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

When I informed PIG mum that the news had ended, she called dinnertime and sent me to the loo.
Like previous Sundays, dinner was @ Ho Lin Wah. PIG mum and I entered first, while dearest dad went next door to the fruit shop and bought fresh produce. Since both set meals suit us, PIG mum ordered those two first and left dad to choose one more thing after he arrived.
For dinner tonight, I had barely one bowl of the A meal (chicken with white sauce in rice), barely half a bowl of the B meal (chicken stir-fry Hokkien noodles), half the set soup, 1.5 deep-fried cuttlefish balls, one cup oof Chinese tea, half a cup of warm Ovaltine and just over one mouthful of the hot HK-style milk tea. Very impressed that it actually came with condensed milk; I licked the spoon before leaving and found some!
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.
Anyways, hopefully bbl shortly after 9pm following one last loo trip with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for toms plus what's happening toms else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Heylo again, good afternoon again and potentially one final greeting for today! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2450. Righteo, final events for today?

Once I'd used up the most important two hours of my day, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat @ the gobbling :P table to munch arvo tea (my 2nd savoury muffin; think PIG mum said I could have my last one for breakfast toms) and read the new book club novel for one hour; it's really good!
Happily read for one hour; today I reached pg. 175 pm and reached pg. 200 @ 3:47pm.
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 done after only 11% but happily leaned fully against the right-side side rail and watered myself 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, after she dried the back of the chair, she passed me the towel and I did everything else; she didn't feature again until my bra strap needed doing 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 then walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
Righteo, hopefully bbl tonight after dinner, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
P.S.

Sunday Post 513

Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1957 steps (so will definitely have passed two grand before the day's out XD); secondly, John piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'We Can Do Nothing'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Dealing With Stress-Producing People' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Communion With God'. Anyways, events for today?

Woo hoo, 8th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature had already called once before midnight but after one pot :P trip I slept soundly until 6:50am before waking again to relieve myself. Following that 2nd pot :P trip I immediately tried falling asleep again before PIG mum commenced her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs.
Instead, I fell so deeply back asleep I didn't wake again until PIG mum let herself into my room and hit me with the eye goo! She also helped exceedingly slightly with the bra strap and tee (but not really; she only spreads the tee out for me) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first. Whilst doing so, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*

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 healthy cereal (Minus :P and the sticky All-Bran) plus 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 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 gets into the car and tootles us off to church but today the carpark's like full and she parks like TEN cars from the ramp!
I hike up the ramp, use the second cubicle in the normal lady's loo (the disabled loo's outta order), wash and dry both hands then grab my usual spot in the service hall on the most left. PIG mum bolts back upstairs for the Canto service @ 8:48am.
Yay I got to stay seated for service today~ I sang everything plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
Since Peter Pie's taking annual leave right now, Uncle Peter spoke today from the Living It Upside Down series about the beatitudes.
Service ended twenty-two minutes early today; after PIG mum collected me I used the toilet myself again (fingers crossed the disabled loo's back working next week), grabbed a packet of bikkies then sat outside the hall.
Uncle Yuk Tai and Aunty Denise wandered over for a chat and it's confirmed: I'm really going to SINGAPORE for the first time since 2005 (TWO PLUS DECADES) ago and visiting MINIONLAND!!! *explodes with excitement*
But while everyone else enjoyed lunch together @ Mum's Wok, dad made me have lunch with him @ Hungry Jack's. *sigh* Originally, I was happy to have shaken a BBQ cheeseburger and medium shake, but the shake machine was outta order!! >< Juice and about ten chips for me. *sigh*
Back home, I used the loo for one more tinkle 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.
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 gimme some arvo tea.
Wonder where dad will take us out for dinner together tonight? The Thursday just past marked one whole WEEK since I've enjoyed a proper meal out; fingers crossed I'll get another one very soon!
Toms: PIG mum should help me up since I'm presuming she's taking me to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Hopefully we'll grocery shop and walk aisles afterwards before coming home for lunch with dearest dad else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
Actually, no! Angelica's helping me up @ 9am, taking me to the NAB for physio before seeing me home and showered then leaving @ 1/2!
Doubt I've got anything happening after that; looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online, reading the book club novel for one hour and watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 207TH time!
Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3318. Sorry, can't be bothered getting up and plodding fifteen more steps and making that an equal 3333. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

After publishing the previous post, I started composing my GCCW homework. It's not due till next next Thursday but I thought I'd better get started since everyone treats it like a race to submit homework first. XD
Usually, I visit the loo once more @ 9pm, but when nature called @ 8:30pm I waited till 8:45pm before walking 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: just church, definitely nothing special. Would love lunch out with other ESS people afterwards but expecting a burger and around ten chips with dad from Hungry Jack's. *sigh*
But @ 3:05pm I'm watching Australia play PNG; hopefully PIG mum'll lemme shower once she gets home from her coffee and gossip social with the other church aunties! Hopefully she'll lemme shower once she gets home since I'd like to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 207TH time!
Righteo, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Good evening again! Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3222. Aww, why couldn't I have plodded 1000 steps fewer today? 2222 would've looked cooler! XD Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner @ 7:19pm, I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely over to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy wombok and several delicious little chunks of pork chop. Several slices of asparagus too; I'm not really a fan.
Dinner was spooned down and after eating three slices oof banana I took the bowl over to the sink before walking 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.
Anyways, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening Sunday else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
Cheers,

I've read for three hours today! This arvo, I reached pg. 111 @ 4:49pm, reached pg. 125 @ exactly 5:05pm and finished pg. 150 @ 5:31pm.
Used the loo for one tinkle before returning online and watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 206TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.

Saturday Post 513

Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2839 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Best Passage Ever'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Communication That Works @ Home' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Access Through Christ'. Anyways, events for today?

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 out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. Actually, I'd called for Damaris, but PIG mum was yapping @ her and ordered just come out yourself.
Breakfast was my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread very thinly with some avocado and one slice of cheese, one delicious mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey, all my usual drugs :P and another tall cup of water. Happiness was reading for thirty minutes first up.
While Damaris closed and locked windows I used the loo for one more tinkle. After I climbed into the passenger seat of her car, Damaris kindly helped me with my seatbelt then tootled us off to Underwood MarketPlace and parked round the side before grabbing a trolley for us.
At Woolies, I buy a can of flavoured salmon and Damaris buys a big pack of 14 bottles of water! Why I like grocery shopping with carers: they lemme sit on the serve-serve checkout bench while they scan out items~
Back home, I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Damaris who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
Dried, creamed and rekitted, Damaris makes me a plain tuna toasted with TWO cheese and two more big cups of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey and cleans the bathroom. I happily continue reading, reaching page seventy-five @ exactly 12:40pm and finishing pg. 100 @ 1:32pm.
After Damaris leaves and I finish lunch, I use the loo for one more tinkle and am just about to pop online for the most important two hours of my day when dad demands I play table tennis with him for thirty minutes first.
That done, I use the loo for one more tinkle before walking 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 the day online, I'll use the loo for one tinkle, sit @ the gobbling :P table to munch my delicious arvo tea honey chicken sushi roll and happily continue reading; it's only Saturdays that I can spend a blessed three hours with my nose buried in a book~
Toms: just church, nothing special. Not looking forward to lunch with dad @ Hungry Jack's afterwards nor a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum but dad had better take us to eat CHINESE food for dinner and gimme ONE bowl of rice!!
Anyways, hopefully bbl, else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Good evening again and final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 2371. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

After publishing the previous post, I RSVP'd for my first Christmas party!
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: Damaris will mind me 9:30pm till 1pm. Presuming I'll buy my arvo tea sushi roll from Underwood MarketPlace plus whatever groceries PIG mum wants Woolies, but she's not decided yet.

Friday Post 513b

Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 2250 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Acorns'. Righteo, continuing events for today?

Back home I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Verena who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was a yummy tuna with tomato and onion toastie with TWO cheese, HEAVILY buttered (on the inside XD) and one big mug of Earl grey tea with milk; just pity that Verena couldn't find any sweetener. XD
At 1:55pm I used the loo for two tinkles while PIG mum signed Verena off and shooed her away then I sat @ the gobbling :P awaiting Dorrie's arrival!
Today we made Savoury muffins! Dorrie was grateful that there weren't any onions for her to cut (she always takes it for the team and cuts them for me while I'm her helpful client who client who passes her tissues to dab the tears away XD) while I just try to add as much cheese as possible although that wasn't possible today since sneaky PIG mum had already pre-measured it. XD'
After she left, I started reading the new book club novel for one hour! I'm gonna love it; it's based back around WW1~ PIG mum fed me some arvo tea (one huge mug of herbal tea and fruit/one yummy eggy savory muffin for arvo tea, yum!)
Following one tinkle, I plopped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 205TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post,
When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner @ 7:28pm, I noted down the time, used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely over to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy broccolini and some surprisingly delicious chicken - turns out lucky dad had eaten out for lunch today and brought some back!
Entree was one little chip of cheese, dessert was one chip of cheese and dinner was spooned down with one bowlful of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I 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.
Just RSVP'd for my first Christmas party!
Righteo, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
Cheers,Em. ^^

Friday Post 513

Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2022 steps (ha, I'm just over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "God's Wise Mercy"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Grace - When You Need It Most' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Prayer Of The Desperate' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 205TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:45am and after one pot :P trip I immediately fall back asleep, since dearest dad would prolly leave for work one hour later!
Dad very thoughtfully walks silently along the hallway and unpops the lock into the garage door @ 6:35am, which makes me for another tinkle. After this 2nd pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*

After dearest dad kisses me bye, retucks me back into bed and heads off to Aunty A's place to work, Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P around 9am, shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor Elf a very brief rub, since she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night.
After PIG mum opens the door for Verena @ 9:30am, she instructs Verena to gimme fifteen more minutes. Verena does so; when she comes back I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth, sit over the loo for one tinkle, sit over the loo for one tinkle then head out to the gobbling :P table with Verena.
Breakfast is one bowl of healthy cereal with 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, Verena lathers sunscreen over my face and arms, accompanies me back to the bathroom then returns to the kitchen and washes up my breakfast stuff. Over the loo I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

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 Verena's car and she tootles us off to Coles Rochedale to buy groceries for my cooking session with Dorrie this arvo! While she drives, we discuss bubble tea, me telling her I'm craving some and she telling me she can't stomach most things! o_O
Verena grabs a trolley then we both buy groceries. We bump into Uncle Ricky and Aunty Rose! I introduce them to each other (church friends and carer) then enthusiastically thank Aunty Rose for the delicious chicken she made for us recently!
Back home I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Als - bbl!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Karina arrived late and took me to GCCW before we went to the Rochedale Maccas, I redeemed my free Big Mac sans pickles! Turns out GYG has drive-thru too; Karina got a burrito with chips and lemme finish her chips when I had a chocolate McFlurry with Kit Kat; OMG, so good!
Got home and took a nice warm 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 Karina quickly cleaned the bathroom before I signed her off with my thanks and byes.
PIG mum gave me a lil arvo tea then I popped online before using the loo once more for two tinkles then waiting for Jessyca's arrival @ 5:30pm.
When she hadn't arrived by 5:40pm I rang CODA on-call and left a message; phew she arrived shortly afterwards. Late coz stuck in traffic; can't be helped~
Jessyca's thirty-one, from Colombia and doing some caring cert but hopes to study nursing soon! She reckons I'm very funny, which I find hilarious since PIG mum's always going ON @ ME about what a BORING person I am!! XD

After publishing the previous post, I continued chatting with Annie over Facebook Messenger; baby Rhys is only like three weeks old!
At 9pm I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one last tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
Toms: PIG mum'll help me up since I've got an appointment for some massage and acupuncture. Bet she's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD Me, I'm hoping that he's brought me another Melona ice cream like he did one year ago today! XD
PIG mum says we can grocery shop afterwards before coming home for lunch with dearest dad, hence why I'm expecting a normal plodding total toms.
Somone new called Jane's taking me to table tennis! Hope she's nice; also hope there's cake toms! XD
Jane will see me home and showered before leaving @ 6:30pm; I'm hoping to watch the 6pm news bulletin for TH time and have reminded PIG mum to please gimme dinner once Jane leaves @ 6:30pm since David's coming to pick me up for the first GG of term four Bible study @ 7:15pm! In the past he's come @ 6:45pm and I've BYO'd dinner but toms night David says he wants to eat dinner with Dr. Esther before she works night shift first.

Tuesday Post 513c

Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 3711 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'No One Cares As Jesus Cares'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

Once I'd used up the most important two hours of my day, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat down to eat the morning tea PIG mum had kindly left me (one tasty cracker, one mouthful of gloopy passionfruit and one huge mug of green tea) before hitting pigland upstairs and happily read The Daily Telegraph for another hour.
Used the loo for one tinkle, returned online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 204TH time. All the things I like reading are in the previous post.
When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner @ 7:28pm, I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely over to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa lettuce, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup potato, two tasteless slices of soup beef and one slice of delicious chicken. Dad also gave me one little cube of cheese; when I asked didn't PIG mum say I could have one after I finished dinner dad replied I'll give you another afterwards.
Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
When I remembered that dad had promised me another little block of cheese after dinner, I called out to PIG mum, who asked dad was that true? Dad said I already gave you one! Lol, I can't be bothered pushing him for another one; after all, it's THEIR anniversary present that I'm eating. XD
Anyways, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip @ 9pm 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 Wednesday ahead!

Tuesday Post 513

Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3307 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Happy God'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'A Life-Enriching Habit' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'What Will God Dp'. Anyways, events for today?

Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 7:30am 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*

Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, nature calling once more around 9am just before noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Peggy's arrival @ 9:30am.
After PIG mum lets Peggy in, she knocks, opens the door and announces good morning. When I wave Mini Pearl @ Peggy, she squeals and goes, oh, I've not seen you before! Having no appendages to wave Peggy 'shoo' with, I just flick his body in a 'shoo' motion and Peggy laughs. "Oh, that's right. Fifteen more minutes first." Mini Pearl wiggles 'shoo' again, Peggy laughs and wisely leaves; phew, since just Pearl, Mini Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD XD
When Peggy comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who squirts me some toothpaste.
Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Peggy, who tells me that she had her two usual fried eggs for breakfast this morning.
All I get for breakfast's one bowl of healthy cereal (the sticky All-Bran and Minus :P), all my usual drugs :P and one tall cup of water. Luckily, after PIG mum leaves for her Pilates class, Peggy finds where she's sneakily hidden the syrup and makes me one massive, delicious mug of Earl Grey tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
After breakfast, Peggy accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing up the breakfast dishes. Over the loo, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of Auto (pronounced Alto). Peggy kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt) what she kindly does all day) and then she tootles me off to Pinelands Plaza to get my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from Aunty Nancy @ the Pinelands Bakehouse.
Peggy parks across the road not too far down from the bakery and grabs a trolley for us. When Aunty Nancy's heating up the crunchy pork bahn mi for me, she very excitedly tells me that I'll see her next week when I buy another bahn mi but then she's flying interstate to visit friends before flying home to visit family!
Our other stops Calamvale Central for groceries then I sit outside Woolies on the bench and wait while Peggy buys fresh produce from the Mega Discount Fruit Market.
Back home, I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was my delicious crunchy pork bahn mi (Peggy made it crunchy by putting it into the sandwich press) plus another huge mug of Earl Grey tea sweetened with one spoonful of syrup. While I enjoyed lunch, Peggy cleaned the bathroom and wrote the shift notes.
Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
Signed Peggy off with my thanks and byes when she left @ 2pm. She's back same time next week and will give Mini Pearl another pearl! <3 XD
One tinkle for me before I plopped online.
Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day I'll use the loo for one tinkle, sit to continue reading The Daily Telegraph and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea.
Toms: hope PIG mum helps me up shortly after 9am and takes me grocery shopping somewhere.
Someone new called Jane McMasters will take me to table tennis @ 1:30pm! Hope she's nice~ Also hope there's cake! XD
Once Jane leaves @ 6:45pm I've asked PIG mum to please gimme dinner since David's coming to pick me up for GG Bible study @ 7:15pm! But looking forward to watching the 6pm news for the 204TH time!
Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Monday Post 513d

One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2284. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

Since PIG mum couldn't find the Courier Mail, she'd bought a copy of The Daily Telegraph instead! I happily read that and gloried in the Broncos winning the NRL premiership for the first time in nineteen years while Lorraine very gently massaged Ela for one hour.
At 5:55pm I sat over the loo for two tinkles before signing Lorraine off with my thanks and byes. She's back same time next week/the Monday after.
Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 203RD time. All the things I like recording are in today's first post.
When the parents summoned me over for dinner sometime after 7:15/7:30pm, I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling: :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy wombok, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup tomato, lotsa soup potato and one soup bone with nearly all the meat already gone.
Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of fairly yucky 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 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: Peggy's minding me from 9:30pm till 2pm and score, I've not got physio until Thursday since Winnie and Shirley are still camping!
PIG mum says we can buy groceries @ Calamvale Central and then come back to Pinelands Bakehouse to get my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse.
Nothing happening after Peggy leaves; looking forward to my two most important hours of the day and hoping to watch the 6pm news for the 204TH time!
Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2180 (See? Told you I'd crack two grand! XD) but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed SIXTEEN MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, continuing today's events?

Breakfast is one bowl of two healthy cereals, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
After 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 climbed into the backseat of the car and buckled my seatbelt. Dad was taking us to catch a bus into the city to celebrate the King's birthday public holiday!
Only when I wheeled onto the bus, a girl wearing a Broncos jersey and holding a crutch beckoned me over and even put up one of the three folded seats for me!
We started chatting; turns out they were going to Suncorp Stadium to welcome the Broncos home as reigning NRL champions for 2025! I told dad and we immediately had a change of plans: instead of going to the city, we were attending the fan day!
First, we stopped @ The Sushi Hub for a spot of lunch and then we wheeled me to the stadium! After catching the lift up, turns out everyone was waiting on one side and a stage had been put up on the field! I parked next to some lady using an electric wheelchair.
Very impressed: even the PREMIER was here and spoke!
Then the field was opened for us! Some usher lady asked did we wanna head out; when we said yes, she led us back away from some seats, down a lift and out!
Actually, we were still pretty far away from the stage hence why I just watched the big screen~
When all the talking was finished and people were finally allowed to mingle, I thought I'd wheel over and try find some player to sign my jersey, but dad decided 'twas time to leave? Doesn't matter~
Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era 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 Lorraine announced her arrival, thanks to PIG mum who let her in, thus saving me from a potentially dangerous trip to the front door. I noted the time down and immediately headed into the bathroom myself.
She says she arrived pm but just took time signing in; I asked her next Monday could you please come and bang the door first before signing in? Else I'm gonna fret that you're late/forgot to come! XD
So a nice warm shower for me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Lorraine who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea's one mouthful of gloopy passionfruit, one tasty cracker and one mug of green tea. Originally PIG mum had put the teabag into the white tea with two sugars biggest mug, but I just told Lorraine to swap it for the smallest one.
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 1941 (so must have cracked two grand before the night's out XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Heaven In The Here And Now' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-TWO MINUTES online after dinner tonight!! Anyways, events for today?

Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:30am 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*
Nature calls again once more around 9am, shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and hit me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap (she does the bra strap up) and the lee (she lays the tee out for me) 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 shoelaces, 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.
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1684 steps (ha, I'm over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Justice Will Be Done'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'One Thousand Four Hundred And Forty' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Making Room For Others' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and FORTY-FOUR MINUTES online after Lorraine minds me for two hours!! Anyways, events for today?

Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and the tee (meaning she lays the tee out for me) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.

Heylo again, good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3288 and secondly, John Piper's devotional topic's 'A Long Obedience'. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

After I'd used up the most important two hours of my day, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat @ the gobbling :P table and asked PIG mum please for some arvo tea. She passed me one yummy little mouthful of passionfruit, one flavoured cracker and one huge mug of green tea.
Took a nice warm shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also, slowly, softly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter-second favourite song out aloud, opening eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was all done after only 10% but happily leaned fully against the side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before tapping the nice warm water off and calling PIG mum back.
After PIG mum dried the back of the chair for me, I did everything else, and she didn't feature again until Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying up.
After drying the loo seat I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped both feet dry, washed and dried Era then walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
Did my weekly file backup then wolfed down dinner before sitting on the couch: NRL grand final kickoff @ 6:30pm!
The Broncos scored right @ the beginning but come halftime we were trailing by two tries! o_O
Still, dad said we could catch up then win; I had faith: THE BRONCOS WON THE 2025 PREMIERSHIP!!! :D
My bladder was so excited she immediately demanded I go pee after the fulltime siren. XD
But I returned to the couch; the parents and I all watched the trophy presentation! :D
One more loo trip before I returned online. PIG mum's already hit me with the eye goo meaning she'll not bother giving Elf's poor ankle a very brief rub tonight bur Era will, Elf will get to wear her sock to sleep too~
Toms: PIG mum's moved my appointment to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage to Wednesday since apparently dad's taking us to the city toms? We'll catch the bus; the parents had better lemme use Sparkless3!
Oh, and long live the King! Dunno when King Charles' birthday is, but toms Brisbane's having the public holiday to celebrate it!
Best of all, Lorraine/Angelica (I think Lorraine)'s minding me from 4pm-6pm, even though it's a public holiday, phew!
Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 203RD time!
Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Sunday Post 513

Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2291 steps today; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Joy Unbound'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Removing The 'Flesh' Element" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Sympathy Pain'. Anyways, events for today?

BTW, my monthlies arrived last night~
Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:55am and after one pot :P trip I immediately tried falling back asleep since I knew PIG mum would get very noisy upstairs shortly (like, ten minutes) later!
Instead, I fall back asleep so deeply that I don't wake until PIG mum opens the bedroom door! I quickly use the pot :P again for one more tinkle, she hits me with the eye goo, helps me very slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and the tee then leaves 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 shoelaces 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 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. Actually, I first detour to the computer desk and note down that my monthlies arrived last night.
Breakfast is one bowl of delicious flaky Special K mixed with some other 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*
After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the bathroom, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles us off to church and parks outside the service hall; I hike up the ramp, use the third cubicle of the normal lady's loo for one tinkle, wash and dry both hands then grab my usual spot for service on the most left.
Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
Stay seated for worship and sang everything plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
Justin from Malaysia spoke today; his sermon didn't have any topic but was about King Saul betraying King David.
Had a little lunch (BBQ cheeseburger, twelve chips, half a medium choc shake and half a mouthful of coffee) with dad @ the Rochedale Hungry Jacks while the rest of ESS shared lunch @ Your/My Personal Chef.
Arrived home, changed pad and plopped online.
After I've used up the most important two hours of my day, I'll use the loo for one tinkle then sit @ the gobbling :P table and wait for PIG mum to gimme arvo tea.
Will hopefully shower @ 5pm by the latest since hopefully PIG mum'll feed me dinner @ 6pm coz the NRL GRAND FINAL kicks off @ 6:30pm; GO THE BRONCOS!!!
Toms: King's birthday public holiday! Originally, I was seeing Ray for some acupuncture and massage but apparently PIG mum says dad wants to catch some bus?
Phew, Lorraine will mind me 4-6pm toms!
Fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 203RD time!
Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
