Friday Post 487c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 4267. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy cauliflower,  lotsa dearest dad's home-grown hairy melon, one lil Chinese mushroom, two lil slices of roast pork from Coles, one delicious chunk of chicken and another delicious chunk of crumbed fish with a dab of mayo.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl 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.

• At 9pm, I walk myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and then back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• Toms: fingers crossed PIG mum helps me   up and I'm outta the room before 9:45am ...
• Looking forward to my once-weekly fried egg, my two big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey and going to church and playing table tennis with dearest dad @ church!
• Mostly I'm hoping to read for a blessed three hours toms ... will forego watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 22ND time for that~
•  Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 4137 (See? Told you I'd crack four grand! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Taking Sin Seriously' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTEEN MINUTES online after I visit the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap, 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 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. 
• Breakfast is two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with  avocados and hopefully sprinkled with some salt (just don't understand why PIG mum sprinkles salt on the plate which the piece of toast sits but not the toast itself XD), all my usual drugs :P and  one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the 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 dad's car and buckle my seatbelt. Dad tootles us down to Warrigal Square for grocery shopping @ Woolies, and argh, how frustrating: while he gets a trolley, he won't lemme push it with him, instead demanding that I walk ahead of him with Green Sticky! >< *sigh*
•  The funny thing happens when we're leaving: I've rounded the corner and am walking past the wall of Hakataya when suddenly a concealed door opens OUTWARDS onto me, nearly sending me sprawling! o_O" "Eep!" I screech, bouncing two steps on Erf before remembering Era's holding Green Sticky. I plant him firmly onto the ground and regain my balance. "Sorry!"  The man pushing the trolley squeaks. "I didn't know you were there!" I laugh and reply, "No worries; I didn't know the door was there either." XD
• Back home, I use the loo for one tinkle and then for lunch dad and I have two-minute noodles with lotsa veggies and two/three slices of meat. Lunch's spooned down with one bowl of soup; I finish just as Peggy arrives and dad orders our immediate departure.
• Meaning we arrived twenty-four minutes early so after one toilet trip I sit inside the waiting area and happily play the HP version of Bejeweled until Jem comes for me. Aww, I don't get to play mute again... >< XD
• Today my new bunch of students are mostly all Hongkie! Physio today: Two 10m walk tests, 9 peg hole test for both hands and page turning for Era plus stacking pens 🖊 Jem gave me one soft orange lolly before I left and said I'm back next Monday/Tuesday 1:30pm.
• Back home, I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who rinsed out my hair for me, 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 big, delicious mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of syrup. Happiness was reading the Matthew Reilly book for one hour; today I finished pg. 325 @ 4:32pm, finished pg. 333 @ 4:52pm and finished pg. 350 @ 5:15pm. Fingers crossed I can read for three hours tomorrow!
• After using the loo for one tinkle I plopped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 21ST time. All the things I like recording are in the first post for today.
• When the parents summoned me over for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely over to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 487

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3918 steps (so trust I'll have cracked 4000 before the day ends XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Prevailing Grace'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Friendship' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Compelled To Tell' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOOUR and FORTY MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 21ST time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo,  11TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like the previous three nights, nature didn't call until 6:50am, and after one pot :P trip,  I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*

   Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 487e

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 4354. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I read and shared the She Reads Truth devotional before happily playing the HJP version of Bejeweled for like thirty minutes - and I passed another three levels! That's like seven I've passed today, which prolly means I'll not pass another one until next week. XD
• 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.
• Tonight's ice cream night, yay! Like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Toms: hope PIG mum helps me up not too late and takes me for walkies somewhere before I come home for an early lunch, since Peggy's not taking me to the NAB for another 1.5hr SP session until 12:45pm. 
• Else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me, since after Peggy leaves @ 5pm I've nothing else happening.
• Hoping to read for one hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 21ST time!

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 4180 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "Grieving God's Heart." Righteo, continuing events for today?

• Gabrielle arrived five minutes early today! PIG mum and I both answered the dooor and then I went to take a nice warm shower - hairwash  today. Also thanks to Gabrielle who rinsed out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. While I washed myself, Gabrielle told me that she's from Kenya and just graduated from her nursing degree; she's starting work @ some mental hospital like next week!
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was one yummy banana, about half a tasty cracker and one huge mug of green tea. Happiness was reading for one hour (today I finished pg. 275 @ 4:36pm and finished pg. 300 @ 5:03pm. Then I had just under three minutes to play the HP version of Bejeweled - and I passed three levels! XD
• At 5:55pm I sat over the loo for two more tinkles and then signed Gabrielle off with my thanks and byes.
• Happily watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 20TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post. The parents started dinner without me around 6:53pm; dad did summon me, but I said if you can't wait seven minutes, please eat first.
•  At 7pm, 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.
• CNY dinner tonight! Rice with lotsa yummy broccolini, lotsa dearest dad's home-grown melon, some yummy snow fungus, maybe a slice of Chinese mushroom and one delicious piece of chicken.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I took the bowl over to the sink and then walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• 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 Friday, else wishing everyone a smashing end to their week tooms!

Thursday Post 487c

 Good afternoon and take two:  Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday's actually 4053 (ha, I'm just over four grand; that doesn't happen too often!); secondly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3588 steps (ha, I'm just over 3.5 grand XD); thirdly, thirdly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Caused To Return'; fourthly, TWFT topic's 'Keep Praying For Your Children' and fifthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'What Would You Ask Jesus?' Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 10TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 6:50am, and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Nature calls again shortly after 9am, just before PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for 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.
• Spend a stressful morning letting PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk back and forth preparing breakfast but finally I was seated with two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P one full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and one of the tuna buns PIG mum made last night while I watched Jelena Dokic's documentary! 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 online, 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 walk myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. When the parents are ready to leave, I use the loo for one more tinkle, climb into the backseat of the car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day).
• Dad tootles us off to Garbo and parks somewhere new: outside Terry White Chemists! While he goes to see the physio/buy sth, PIG mum and I buy groceries from Woollies.
• We share one lunch between three people just outside Woolies; some kaarage chicken rice bowl and one sushi roll. I was already seated comfortably somewhere but the parents ordered I get up and move since I was sitting in direct sunlight.
• Afterwards, dad tootled us home, I used the loo for one tinkle and plopped online.  Guess dearest dad's doing his puzzle and PIG mum has hit pigland upstairs.
• Someone new called Gabrielle's minding me today. I've only met one Gabby before: Gabby Vaccaro from GCCW! Must remember to ask PIG mum to gimme my mobile back~
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 20TH time.
• Best of all, it's ice cream night tonight! Like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Toms: hope PIG mum helps me up before 9:45am and takes me for walkies somewhere since Peggy's not coming and taking me to the NAB @ 12:30. Think it's another 1.5hr session; wonder if I'll get to play mute again? Else mime for chocolate. XD
• Hence why the OTs not coming for cooking toms but Peggy's staying with me till 5pm for a shower. Fingers crossed I  can read for one hour and watch the 6pm news for the 21ST time before dinner!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl,  else wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• Nisha came @ 5:30pm and took me to the first Toastmasters for 2025! Seven attended last night, hence why the meeting ended thirteen minutes early and I had plenty of time to enjoy all my chips from the Unhappy Meal I had for dinner from Maccas with an orange juice.

• Dried, creamed  and rekitted, arvo tea was some delicious passionfruit from passionfruit Judy with one dollop of vanilla yoghurt and one mug of white tea, although unfortunately PIG mum couldn't find where PIG mum had hidden the sweetener. *sigh*

• After publishing the previous post, I read and shared my Facebook memories.
• After using up my most important two hours of the day I was  gonna  use the loo for one tinkle and then head over to the gobbling :P table too read for oone hour and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea, but once PIG mum heard me scrape the chair back, she screeched don't  come over, I'm still baking! When I protested I need to use the looo and then I'm coming over for arvo tea, she replied use the loo then  go back to the computer. I'll bring your arvo tea over.
• Meaning I'm enjoying some mango and about half a plain cracker.  Have a big mug of peppermint tea awaiting me.
  
• Suppose I'll watch some YouTube now? PIG mum forgot to bring my book over~

Tuesday Post 486

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3639 steps (ha, I'm over 3.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'He Knows Your Need'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Only Jesus Can Satisfy Your Soul' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Blessed To Be A Blessing'.  Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 8th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 6:20am, and after one  pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I  comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum  comes back to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I 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. Correction: I walk to the sliding door and ask dearest dad to please come back inside, since I wanted to give him his birthday card, birthday present and a great big hug!
• Breakfast was two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix sprinkled very lightly with the less-yummy (so sticky) bird food, one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully very lightly sprinkled with some salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. 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*
• Monicah doesn't arrive @ 10am but Diana arrives @ 10:08pm! She's chocololate-coloured too and only one year younger than me but with four boys!
• Breakfast finished, Diana covers my face with sunscreen and then walks behind me back to the bathroom. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into Diana's car and she tootles me off to physio @ Breathe. Thanks to her who kindly helps me with my seatbelt all day.
• Physio today: 2.105km bike ride, 36 leg-assisted pull-ups, 36 step ups for Erf, 36 leg curls for Elf, 36 leg extensions for Elf, 36 v-cable rows for both hands, tennis ball throwing and catching for Era and boxing!
• Following one more loo trip (while I used the ambulant stall @ the end, Diana used the normal one beside me), we bought groceries from Warrigal Square (although originally she followed her GPS to Runcorn Plaza XD) before coming back home.
• Took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Diana who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, thanks to PIG mum who'd left me one bowl of rice leftovers for lunch since I'll not get any rice for dinner tonight. I laughed and said that was my toon leen farn (say that in English) but PIG mum said no, our toon leen farn was last night! Um, are you really meant to eat leftovers for toon leen farn?? XD
• At 1:58pm I used the loo for one more tinkle and then signed off Diana with my thanks and byes. Hope she comes back soon~
• Once I've used up my most important two hours of the day online, I'll use the loo for one tinkle and then sit to read Matthew Reilly's novel for one hour. Hopefully PIG mum'll have finished her bun making by then and will feed me some  arvo tea!
• Nisha's taking me to Toastmasters @ 5:30pm; January has a 5th Tuesday! Mostly I'm just hoping that Denise Will remember my chips! XDa Looking forward to getting some dinner back from Maccas, never mind that UnHappy Meals were what I ate surely MORE THAN THREE DECADES ago!! *sigh*
• Toms: will haveta ring CODA and ask since both toms and the day after shifts are still TBAs. But hoping PIG mum'll take me for grocery shopping somewhere else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me, since GG hasn't resumed yet. Hope there's cake again @ table tennis though!! XD
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3948. Aww, sorry, not quite 4000. Another day, I'm sure! XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post I went   and completed my GCCW homework. Unsure what I'm gonna do now for the next two weeks?
• At 9pm, I walked myself slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: PIG mum'll help me up since once Monicah arrives @ 10am to take me to Breathe for physio she'll dash off for her pilates class.
• Pinelands Bakery's still closed while the owners are in Vietnam for CNY; presuming PIG mum'll send Monicah and I back to  Warrigal Woolies to buy groceries?
• After Monicah leaves @ 2pm I'll enjoy my most important  two hours of the day online before reading for one hour.
• And since tomorrow's the 5th Tuesday, Nisha will take me to an extra Toastmasters meeting! Mostly I'm  just hoping Denise will remember my packet of chips.  XD
• Hopefully PIG mum'll remember to gimme some rice for arvo tea since I'm only having  an UnHappy Meal for dinner ... *sigh*
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3793 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "Providence That's Painful'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• Dearest dad was already sitting @ the gobbling :P table, hard @ work doing his puzzle! Thanks to him who kindly passed me my book; I bet PIG mum wouldn't have! >< XD
• But PIG mum tossed me one yummy banana, one huge mug of green tea and about half a  plain cracker. When I happily read for onew hour, I reached pg. 222 @ 4:21pm, forgot when I reached/finished pg. 225 but reached pg. 250 @ exactly 4:50pm!
• Then I called out to PIG mum upstairs, I've read for one hour, may I go shower now? While PIG mum took her time coming downstairs, I brought my mobile back to the computer table.
  
• Then I took a nice warm shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was all done after only 11% but happily leaned fully against the right-side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling PIG mum back.
• Since PIG mum now won't even dry my back for me, I did everything, and she didn't feature until Elf's AFO straps needed doing up 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 slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 19TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• The parents started dinner without me just before the weather report. Once the news ended, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: rice, with lotsa yummy broccolini, lotsa dearest dad's home-grown hairy melon and the yummy leftovers from dinner with Aunty A last night!
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I 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.
• \Anyways, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight  plus what's happening toms else hope everyone has a smashing Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• Once I'd used up the most important two hours of the day, I used the loo for 0ne tinkle and then sat @ the gobbling :P table where dearest dad was hard @ work building his puzzle to read for one hour and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 486

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3156 steps (ha, I'm over three grand XD); secondly, John piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Giver Gets The Glory'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Understanding Righteousness' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Blessed 2b A Blessing'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 7th consecutive sleep last night; that's already the 2nd time this year I've scored one straight week of awesome sleeps and it's only the end of January; may many more follow!! :D
• Nature didn't  call until 6:20am and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am, just before noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar  the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.\
• PIG mum returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both  laces,  before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me  to walk over to the bathroom and  brush teeth. That done, I  sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash  and dry Era and 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.
• Spent a stressful morning letting PIG mum ordering me around to prepare breakfast, i.e. get milk, get cereal, pour cereal, get bread, stick bread in toaster, remove bread from toaster after toasting, get cytlery spread bread and replace condiments before FINALLY getting to sit down and enjoy breakfast.  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 take my bowl and dish back to the sink before walking 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 me off to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture. We listen to her mix of Asian pop all day, since she's mean and won't change to the radio for me all day. *sigh*
• At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle and then lie down for some massage and acupuncture. PIG mum's in her element, yapping unceasingly @ Ray; my grateful thanks to Ray who always replies and keeps a conversation flowing. For me, I always enjoy the shoulder CPR the most~
• After another loo trip, PIG mum tootles us back to Warrigal Square and we buy groceries @ Woolies before coming home for lunch with dearest dad, who's cooked two-minute noodles with lotsa vegies and a lil tasteless soup meat for us.
• Lunch is washed down with one cup of some infusion that Aunty Nga gave PIG mum; after taking the cup over to the sink and using the loo for one 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.
• Once I've used up the most important two hours of the day online, I'll call upstairs and ask PIG mum may I shower yet. She's prolly sleeping upstairs, so I'll use the loo for one tinkle and then go sit @ the gobbling :P table and wait for arvo tea. Can't reach the book I started reading yesterday but will happily play the HP version of Bejeweled. XD
• Wonder will I get to watch the 6pm news (Seven's) for the 19TH time?
• Toms: PIG mum'll help me up, since Monicah's not coming until 10am and taking me to Breathe for physio. 
• Presuming we'll just buy groceries from Warrigal Square Woolies before I come home for a shower since Pinelands Bakehouse hasn't reopened yet. 
• Looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online and reading for one hour before Nisha comes and takes me to Toastmasters; there's an extra meeting since tomorrow's the 5th Tuesday of the month!
• Looking forward to getting dinner from Maccas; never mind that UnHappy Meals were what I ate @ surely @ least three DECADES ago ... *sigh*
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms! 

Sunday Post 486b

 Heylo again, good evening and probably one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3576 (ha, I'm just over 3.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Plan Behind The Cross'. Righteo,  just briefly, probable final, final events for tonight?

• Used the loo for one tinkle, read for one hour, mooched some arvo tea, showered then wait to the Calamvale Chinese and BBQ restaurant for dinner with Aunty A; early birthday dinner for dearest dad!  <3
• Had barely one bowl of rice but the sweetcorn fish fillet was delicious, as was the adorable little cheesecake PIG mum baked for dearest dad this arvo! I asked please for seconds but PIG mum refused, instead giving me a morsel of her slice and then gifted the rest to Aunty Jenny.
• Wanted to say thanks and bye to Uncle Stephen before leaving, when PIG mum HISSED NO I instead just asked Aunty Jenny to please give Uncle Stephen my best regards. Instead, Aunty Jenny got Uncle Stephen to come out; 'twas such a joy to see him! But for that, mother HISSED that I was 'huck yung jung' (say that in Canto)?
•  Got home, used the loo for one more tinkle and returned online.
• PIG mum'll help me up toms since I've a late morning session to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Bet she's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD
• Hopefully some supermarket's open during the makeup public holiday toms and PIG mum'll  take me grocery shopping and aisle walking, else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me~
• Unfortunately won't have any personal support toms arvo but hoping to read for one hour and watch the 6pm news for the 19TH time!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 486

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2251 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Delayed Deliverances'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'When God Shows Up' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Reverent Fear'. 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 tried falling back asleep since I knew PIG mum would get very noisy around thirty minutes later!
• But sleep didn't return; instead, when PIG mum started her noisy daily a-THUMPING around upstairs, 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* 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 before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum comes back 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 and then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table,  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Breakfast is one bowl of the less-yummy (so sticky) bird food very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P with  one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly smeared with avocado and hopefully very lightly sprinkled with salI (PIG mum sprinkles the salt on the PLATE where the bread is and not on the toast itself XD), all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the loo, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• 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 downstairs service hall. I haul myself up the ramp, use the disabled loo for one tinkle and then grab my normal spot @ service @ the most left. PIG mum hurries back upstairs for CSS @ 8:45am.
• When service begins @ 9am, I get to stay seated for worship, yay! Like last week, I sing everything plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Tyvus; his sermon was from the Hero/Zero sermon series. Wondering how I can get into contact with him ...
• After service ended, I used the normal ladies loo (since the disabled had the lid closed but mean PIG mum wouldn't lift the lid for me ><) and took a seat outside the service hall, since we'd ended so early morning tea hadn't even been set out yet!
• But I munched an Arnott's packet of biscuits and drank one Styrofoam cup of milk tea without sugar. Kwany wandered over for a chat as did Aunty Mel. Unsure why he offered to get me a bikkie when he went to get his kids some and then told my mum I'd asked him for them? I never asked; he offered! XD
• Everyone else had Korean food for lunch but dad made me go eat Hungry Jack's with him. *sigh* I shook a two-dollar small/medium chips and enjoyed about ten; dad also said he'd get me a milkshake but drank most of it himself. Since the air con was freezing, I drank most of PIG mum's disgusting free coffee because poor Era had broken out into goosebumps! >< XD But we were just about to leave when one of dad's baddy mates came to eat lunch too; while he and dad chatted, I happily played the HP version of Bejeweled - and passed three levels!
• Back home, I used the loo for one more tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• At 3pm I'll use the loo for another tinkle and then sit and read for one hour while waiting for PIG mum to feed me some arvo tea.
• Tonight's exciting: we're meeting Aunty A for dinner for dearest dad's early birthday meal @ the Calamvale BBQ and Chinese restaurant!
• Toms: it's the makeup Australia Day public holiday! Unsure will I see Ray for some acupuncture and massage/is he holidaying still? So perhaps expect a super-pissy plodding total from me, since I'll not get any support toms arvo, meaning no shower support. >< *sigh*
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 486d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 5240. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• Back home, I use the loo  for one more  tinkle and then settle down to read for another two hours, since it's only Wednesday that I  get to spend a blessed three hours reading~ Today I  reach page seventy-five @ 3:57pm, reach pg. 100 @ 4:32pm, reach pg. 111 @ exactly 4:45, reached pg. 125 @ 4:56pm and finish pg. 150 @ 5:22pm.
• Then I take a nice warm shower - I wash and rinse my  own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sing 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I'm all done after only 11%, but happily lean fully against right-side side rail and water myself for another tinkle before tapping the nice warm water off and calling PIG mum back.
• Lol, PIG mum won't even dry my back for me now! XD After I dried and rekitted myself (she helped with absolutrely nothing bar the bra strap,Elf's AFO straps and both laces), I dried the loo  seat, sat for one tinkle, stamped both feet dry, dried inside both ears, 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.
• When I  was summoned over for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly  and safely to the gobbling :P table, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Fancy dinner tonight, since the parents invited Aunty Yvonne and Uncle Stephen over! Dad cooked some yummy pork and Chinese mushrooms, while Aunty Yvonne steamed a fish!
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Luckily, nature didn't call  again and I didn't totally stack it again like last time Aunty Yvonne and Uncle Stephen were over! When PIG mum summoned me over to eat a cheese  tart (she'd spent the afternoon baking them) I walked myself slowly and safely back to the gobbling :P table, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• The cheese tart PIG mum lemme eat was delicious! Not too cheesy @ all; the texture  more resembled custard!
• Dessert was  washed down with one cup of green tea  before I walked myself slowly and safely back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• At 9pm I walked myself slowly and safely once more 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. Would love lunch out with other ESS peers but expecting a pissy little cheeseburger and less than ten chips with dad from HJ's; also expecting a stressful arvo @ the hands of  PIG mum. ><
• Since it's Australia Day, does that mean  dad can't take us out for dinner tonight?? >< Hopefully @ least the Calamvale BBQ and Chinese restaurant'll open!
• Righteo, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 486b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 5028 (ha, I'm just over half a normal person today XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "Who's Stronger?" but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWELVE MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ pm tonight!! Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• PIG mum returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I drink one tall cup of water and sit over the loo proper. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I 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 detour first to the chair besides the computer chair and grab myself a new book to read, since PIG mum was mean and wouldn't grab one for me. Luckily, I didn't need to choose since the eight I picked are already the shortlisted ones from a huge pile so I just grabbed the book @ the pile's top: Matthew Reilly's The Six Sth Sth!
• Breakfast is my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly smeared with avocado and maybe very lightly sprinkled with salt (unsure why PIG mum sprinkles not the bread itself but the plate it's on? XD), another tall cup of water, all my usual drugs :P and my first delicious mug of white tea, sweetened with one spoonful of honey. Happiness is reading for one hour first up!  This morning, I finished page twenty-five @ 10:43am and reached page fifty @ 11:14am.
• After one loo trip, I climb into the backseat of dad's car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). Dad tootles us off to Springwood somewhere ... unsure of the name?
• But we again have mini bahn mi for lunch, PIG mum takes me once to the loo, I buy a honey chicken sushi roll for arvo tea and we buy groceries from Coles.
• Back home, I use the loo for one more tinkle and then climb back into the car, since dearest dad's taking me to church to play table tennis with him~
• I feel loved when Aunty Carly immediately calls a greeting to me when we enter~ Uncle Simon immediately adds his and I get to play with him aside from dad today!
• Back home, I use the loo  for one more  tinkle and then settle down to read for another two hours, since it's only Wednesday that I  get to spend a blessed three hours reading~ Today I  reach page seventy-five @ 3:57pm, - bbl!
  Cheers,
  Em/  ^^

Saturday Post 486

• Good afternoon! (I love how it's already 6:24pm but I'm still saying good afternoon since the sun hasn't set yet! XD)! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4735 steps (sweet, I'm already over 4.5 grand; that doesn't happen often! ^^); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Served In Serving Others'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Glean, Store Up, And Share' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Perfect Care" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWELVE MINUTES online after dinner tonight!! Anyways, events for today?
• Yay, 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night!  Nature didn't call until 6:20am, and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied.

Soon, she's let herself into  my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely  nothing bar the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I  comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 3590. Ha, I'm literally just over 3.5 grand. XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• 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: hope PIG mum helps me up latest by 9:15am ...
• Looking forward to  my once-weekly fried egg, my two  big mugs of white tea with one big spoonful of honey, playing table tennis @ church with dearest dad and spending a blessed three hours reading; will willingly skip watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 19TH time for that!
• Anyways, hope  everyone has a lovely weekend ahead!
  Cheers,

Friday Post 486b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 3448 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Heavenly Citizenship'.  Righteo, continuing events for today?

Shopping finished, Peggy tootles me home and I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also  thanks to Peggy who kindly helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye  tightly shut.

Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch is one yummy tuna in tomato and onion toastie with TWO cheese and BUTTERED (on the inside XD)  with one huge mug of delicious vanilla chai sweetened with one spoonful of golden syrup.  At 1:55pm I sit over the loo for two more tinkles; when Peggy leaves @ 2pm I  call my thanks and byes;  she's back same time next Friday.

I pop online for less than one hour; @ 2:55pm I sit over the loo for two tinkles and then sit by the door and await Minjum's arrival @ 3pm; she's taking me to the Lifeline Bookfest!

Once Minjum arrives, PIG mum puts Sparkless3 into her car boot, I climb inside and we're off!

Minjum gets a ticket for parking underground, I transfer into Sparkless3 and then we catch the life up to the Convention Centre. I'm very impressed: it's HUGE!

Minjum steers me into the $2.50 section; I'm  very impressed when we're given a map upon entry! Like I told Minjum, I wanted one fantasy, one memoir and six hardcover fiction. The hardcover fiction's closest, I wheel over there and tell  Minjum I'm fine; look for your own books.

Lol since the event started like last Sunday and ends this Sunday left, some shelves are nearly empty! I had trouble finding any fantasy books and asked a vest-wearing staff lady; she pointed me down the end but said yeah, it's nearly empty. Still, I chose eight @ the end! Aww the lady I paid was the same lady I bought books with but I've already forgotten her name again! XD Judy, maybe?

Afterwards we sit outside, I munch the banana PIG mum left me and we chat since it's too early for home. Minjum was telling me how she's got a non-verbal nephew who's classed as type two autistic, but I say sorry I'm unaware that autism had levels.

Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle and then happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 18TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.

When I was summoned over for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely over to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy broccolini, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup tomato, lotsa soup onion and one delicious chunk of BBQ chicken, which I obviously saved for last.

Dinner was spooned down  with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I  walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

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

Friday Post 486b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final good evening for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 3209. Righteo, potential final, final   events for tonight?

• Once PIG mum lets Peggy inside @ 9:30am, Peggy knocks, pushes open the door and intones good morning. When I nod Pearl @ her she asks fifteen more minutes and after another nod she wisely withdraws; phew, since Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
• After Peggy returns, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. 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 told me that she had her two fried eggs for breakfast.
• For my breakfast, I had one bowl of bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully sprinkled with some salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. 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 walks behind me back to the bathroom where I sit over the loo proper.  There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of Auto (pronounced Alto) and Peggy tootles me off to Calamvale Central to buy groceries from Woolies and a birthday present for baba. PIG mum had chosen socks for him which I thought were boring, but Peggy said getting something practical for him's better than getting some trinket.
• Peggy parked downstairs and grabbed a trolley for us. After catching the lift onto the shopping centre, we were heading to Woolies when suddenly Peggy/me sees bamboo fans for sale on special from The Bamboo Shop and I buy one for dad! Peggy approves coz that's practical~
• Present  for dad bought, we next head into Woolies and buy groceries but not the chicken originally needed for my cooking OT session with Dorrie this arvo; her company suddenly messaged PIG mum this morning saying Dorrie can't come due to some family emergency! o_O Hope she's alright ...
• Groceries brought, our other stop was the Calamvale/Mega Discount Fruit Market for bananas. After that, I sit and munch some delicious sweet and salty popcorn while Peggy goes back and buys more stuff for herself.
• Shopping finished, Peggy tootles me home and I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today.
