Monday Post 482e

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3505. Ha, I'm literally just over 3.5 grand. XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I started reading and sharing Facebook memories.
• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: fingers crossed for one more awesome sleep tonight; hoping to achieve my 9th week of consecutive awesome sleeps!
• Wonder will PIG mum take me out for walkies anywhere before coming home for lunch with dearest dad since Holly's not coming and taking me to the NAB for physio @ 1/2pm?
• She'll see me home and showered before leaving @ like 4pm.
• Looking forward to   reading Sam Neill's memoirs for one hour and watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 54TH time!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Tee hee, I've managed FIVE posts today! Yeah, sometimes that's possible come Mondays~ XD

 Good evening again! Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2920 (so I'll hopefully cracked three grand before the night's out). XD Righteo,  continuing today's events?

• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was one yummy mouthful of gloopy passionfruit, about half a plain cracker and one small cup of green tea. Unsure why PIG mum keeps putting the herbal tea teabag into the white tea with sweetener cup, I just tell the carer to change from the biggest cup to the smallest one.
• Happiness was reading Sam Neill's memoirs for one hour (today I reached pg. 250 @ exactly 5:10pm) before having just over fifteen minutes to happily play the newest version of Bejeweled that I downloaded for my birthday.
• At 5:55pm, I sat over the loo for two tinkles and said my thanks and byes to Jule @ 6pm. Since she's agency from Staffing Options, I'm unsure when she's next back.
• Happily watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 53RD time. All   the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner @ 7:19pm, I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly andc 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 cauliflower, lotsa soup   carrot,  lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup onion, lotsa soup tomato, one small chunk of chicken and one small slice of beef leftover from   dinner last night.
• Dinner was washed down with one bowl of soup; after taking the soup 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 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 Tuesday   ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good evening and potentially one final good evening for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2805 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Power Of Grace'. Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• Thanks to PIG mum   who let Jule inside when she announced her arrival one minute early, thus saving me from a potentially dangerous trip   to the front door myself. I noted down the time then headed into the bathroom myself.
• So a nice warm  shower (the last until October, phew!) for me - hairwash today. Also  thanks  to Jule who helped me rinse out my  hair, thus freeing Era to  hold my stupid right  eye tightly shut.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 482b

 Heylo again, good afternoon and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I get to post online before midday. XD Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2440 steps (so trusting I'll have cracked 2.5 grand before Monday finishes, but Wally's gone bonkers; before I left the house this morning, he'd only given me *fourteen steps and then after lunch with Mrs. Dent and hiking almost every single aisle @ Woolies he'd only given me 468 steps! Hence why PIG mum said to multiply his total by five); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'If He Calls, He Keeps' thirdly, TWFT topic's 'What The Bible Teaches Us About Money (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Just Right For Jesus' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTEEN MINUTES online after Jule leaves and I watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 53RD time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 6th consecutive sleep last night! Actually, nature had already called once just before midnight after which I slept soundly until 6:50am before waking again for the pot. After the second pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P 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 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.
• Breakfast is one bowl of Cheerios cereal very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully very lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After 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 walk myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Once PIG mum's ready, I climb into the backseat of her car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles me off to   see Ray for some massage and acupuncture.
• At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle and then lie down for some massage and acupuncture. Today, Elf's calf and knee are slightly sore during the massage but as usual, I enjoy the shoulder CPR the best. PIG mum's in her element, yapping ceaselessly @ Ray; my grateful thanks to Ray who always replied and kept a conversation flowing.  Actually, PIG mum controlled her excitement @ getting to yap today pretty well under control; she only repeated two words twice today! XD
• After another loo trip, PIG mum tootled us off to the Underwood Coffee Club to meet Mrs. Dent for my belated birthday lunch! :D Unsure why she @ the fricking *end* of where the parking started instead of checking for a closer parking, but hey. *sigh*
• 'Twas lovely catching up with Mrs. Dent! I enjoyed my favourite eggs benedict with bacon (even though PIG mum originally only ordered her dish and 'FORGOT' mine >< XD) with a chocolate milkshake that came with a crackling chocolate top! Even Mrs, Dent remembered that I love a chocolate thickshake but I went with the milkshake with the crackling top since it's for a limited time only. PIG mum got an omelette and yapped so much @ Mrs. Dent that even I finished way before her! XD
• After lunch we went to Woolies to buy groceries. Um sure why PIG mum demanded I walk almost every single aisle with her when only we needed milk plus like one other item, but hey.
• 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.

• Jule's minding me from 4-6pm. She's only been once before! Looking forward to reading Sam Neill's memoirs for one hour and watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 53RD time!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 482c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2932. Aww sorry, not quite three grand. XD Another day, I promise! Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

•  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.
• After I tapped the nice warm water off and called PIG mum back, she handed me the towel and I did everything, since she'll not even dry my back for me anymore. PIG mum eventually only helped with my bra strap, Elf's AFO straps and both laces.
• After I dried the loo seat, I sat and did another stinky unspeakable (thanks to PIG mum who brought me a cup of water, 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 52ND time. All the things I like recording are in today's first post.
• After the news ended, I did my once-weekly file backup.
• When PIG mum called dinnertime, I used the loo for one tinkle, climbed into the backseat of the car and buckled my own seatbelt.
• Like previous Sundays, we shared dinner from Ho Lin Wah. As usual and expected, I got piss little: about half a bowl of chow kway tiew (or however it's spelt), about half a bowl of the A set meal (sth like chicken fillet with tomato sauce in rice) and nearly one (but not quite) a bowl of some fried rice. I also drank half the set soup, one cup of Chinese tea and just over one mouthful of the HK-style milk tea. My newest food goal's going there for arvo  tea; someone please help me fulfill it! 
• Back home, 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. I published the previous post as well as reading and sharing the She Reads Truth daily devotional.
• At 9pm, I walked myself slowly and safely to the loo once more for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Tooms: PIG mum'll help me up, since I've got a late morning appointment to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage; bet she's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him; me, I'm just hoping he'll bring me an Easter egg (or ten XD)~ XD
• Excitement: after that, we're meeting Mrs. Dent for my final birthday MONTH (March ends after tomorrow XD) lunch out @ the Coffee Club! Fingers crossed for a plate of eggs Benedict to me and a chocolate thickshake!!
• Have emailed Michelle asking her who's coming 4-6pm for personal care; looking forward to reading for one hour and hopefully watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 53RD time!
• Actually, someone please fulfill my latest food goal and take me out to Ho Lin Wah for arvo tea; I'm free from 4:45pm!!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a lovely week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 482

 Goods afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2066 steps (ha, I'm literally just over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's "As Sure As God's Love For His Son'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Are You Raising Children Alone' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Beauty From Infirmity'. Anyways, events for today?

• (Apparently, the dot points don't appear now but they will after I've published this post? XD)
• Yay, 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:05am and after one pot :P trip I immediately tried falling back asleep; sometimes I return into a light doze before PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo!
• - Instead, about ten breaths into me trying to count myself back to sleep, noisy PIG mum makes her first THUMP upstairs. Sleep's an option no longer; instead, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• - At 7:15am, PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help 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 returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk 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.
• - I was hoping to get CAKE for BREAKFAST once more, but apparently, the parents have already eaten all the cake! >< o_O XD My breakfast: one bowl of Minus :P with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully very lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude.

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 off to church but there's some drama on arrival; appaarently, someone parked their car but forgot to pull their handbrake and left; the car started rolling down! o_O Think she said Dr. Lee and some other guy stopped it?
• - After hauling myself up dad's ramp, I used the first cubicle of the normal ladies loo (the seat was up but @ least the lid was too; the disabled lid was closed and mean PIG mum wouldn't help  mr lift it >< *sigh) for one tinkle, washed and dried both hands then grabbed the most left seat three rows from the front; all the most left seats before had  already been taken!
• - Yay I got to stay seated for worship today~ I sang everything, plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• - Pastor Peter Pie gave another sermon from his Hero/Zero? series today; his character was Rahab.
• - After service ended, I used the toilet for another tinkle myself, grabbed a packet of bikkies for morning tea and sat outside the service hall. Aunty Cynthia came to say she was going down to Melbourne for one month to look after her grandkids!
• Only thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• -Had lunch with dad @ Hungry Jack's. ESS peoples had lunch @ Pinelands Plaza; apparently some new yuck cha place has opened? I shook a BBQ cheeseburger with a choc shake and had ten chips. Actually, dad only gave me nine but I pinched one of his to make it ten. XD When he complained I said shush, you already drank most of my shake! XD
• - Got home, used loo for one tinkle and plopped online.
• Once I've used up the most important two hours of myv day I'll use the loo for another tinkle, sit @ the gobbling :P table to read for one hour and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea.
• Hope dad takes us back to Ho Lin Wah for dinner again; I need rice!

• - Hopefully the dot points will return toms. XD

Saturday Post 482

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2747 steps; secondly, John piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'When Everyone Deserts You'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Seeking God' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'God Never Loses Us'. Anyways, events for today?

• - Lol, my dot points have vanished again. XD
• - Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:20am and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• - Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am, 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 before going back outside and awaiting Holly's arrival @ 9:30am.
• - After Holly arrives, she tells me fifteen more minutes but I must've fallen back asleep since when she returns I swear I've still got 2.5 minutes left! Still, no use going morgenmuffel on her: (1) it's not Winter yet and (2) since she's not German she wouldn't understand me anyway. XD
• - We get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth, 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's my once weekly dried egg on one slice of toast very thinly smeared with avocado, one full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P  and my first big mug of white tea 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*
• - Breakfast finished, Holly accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning and washing up my breakfast stuff. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 

• - After climbing into the passenger seat of Holly's car (she pulls my seatbelt around for me, but requests I click it in?) she tootled me off to Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown for my first shopping trip in ages!
• - The place was packed; thankfully Holly found a disabled side park @ the very end! She got a trolley for us, took me once to the bathroom and then @ the library I chose a Lian Hearn novel I'd never read before, called The Storyteller And Hus Three Daughters! The only alas was that I only had time to read for seventeen minutes before Holly said shopping time~
• First we grabbed groceries from Woolies then upstairs to Coles before I grabbed a vegetable tempura sushi from the place around food court since they didn't have any honey chicken!
• Got home and showered my quickest - hairwash today. Also thanks to Holly who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

Friday Post 482

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3788 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's '10 Results Of The Resurrection'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Pause And Reflect' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Following God's Plans" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY MINUTES online after I watch the  6pm news for the FIFTIETH time and watch the Broncos play the Dolphins!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:'15am and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*

• Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly after 9am. Suddenly, the phone rings! I yell upstairs for the parents but neither hears me; indeed, I hear someone from CODA say that Deb's coming to mind me today, not Aisha!
• When PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo, I inform her about the carer change.
• At 9am, PIG mum lets Deb in. They chat for awhile then Deb knocks, pushes open the door and cheerily calls out good morning. When I wave Pearl @ her, she asks fifteen more minutes? Another nod from Pearl and she wisely removes herself; phew, since Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
• When Deb 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 before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I head outside to the gobbling :P table with Deb.
• BIRTHDAY CAKE FOR BREAKFAST CAN'T BE WRONG!! <3 I also have two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P, 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, Deb accompanies be back to the bathroom before going back to wash my breakfast dishes. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the back of Deb's car, and she tootles me off to Breathe for physio. Lol, she pulls my seatbelt down and around for me, but requests I buckle it?
• Physio today: 1.877km bike ride, 36 leg assisted pull-ups, 26 steps for Erf, 36 v-cable rows for both hands, 36 hamstring curls for Elf, 36 leg extensions for Elf, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing! Today while I was doing physio, Shirley gave someone a Pilates lesson and she was using the reformer!
• After one more loo (CZ258 unlocks the women's loo and the 2nd cubicle's the ambulant one) trip, Deb tootles me back to Warrigal Square, grabs a trolley for us and we buy ingredients for my afternoon cooking session with Dorrie!
• Coming outta Woolies, I sit on the bench outside while Deb buys sth from Reno. Suddenly, Uncle Ching appears and says he's having lunch with my dearest dad @ Sai!
• Not only that, PIG mum appears too! She says she's finished swimming and will buy sth from the pharmacy before going home for lunch.
• Back home, I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Deb who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried,  creamed and rekitted, lunch was a tuna in tomato and onion toastie with only one slice of tea and one huge mug of green tea.
• Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Dorrie (an Australian citizen finally!) came and cooked some chicken dish with me!
• Gonna watch the 6pm news for the FIFTIETH time then watch the Broncos play the Dolphins!
• Toms: originally toms was my belated birthday Australia Zoo trip with Fi, but she's cancelled that since bad weather. :o(
• But hope PIG mum helps me up before 9:45am and takes me for walkies somewhere else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me?
• Prolly gonna play table tennis with dearest dad toms arvo @ church~
• Ooh, maybw I'll get to read Sam Neill's memoirs for three hours! Will skip watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 51ST time for that!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• I heard PIG mum get dearest dad to start dinner without me when I was still watching the news *sigh*
• Once the news ended, 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.
• PIG mum cooked fried rice tonight! That was under a bed of yummy cauliflower and some snow fungus.
• Dinner was spooned down with half a 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.

Thursday Post 482

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1990 steps today (so will have definitely cracked two grand before the night's out XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's "How To Delight In God's Word"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'How To Forgive' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "When They Don't See", Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd awesome consecutive sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 7:05am, 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 for another pot :P trip when PIG mum disrupts my beauty sleep with her usual a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back out and awaiting Karina's arrival.
• Once Karina arrives, she knocks, sticks her head inside and says good morning, Emily. When I nod Pearl @ her she next says hitting the snooze button for fifteen more minutes ... Another nod from Pearl and she thankfully removes herself; phew, since Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
• When Karina comes back, I use the pot :P for three more tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Karina's who's already squirted 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 Karina, rousing @ her for AGAIN not having any breakfast!
• I get CAKE for breakfast! :D PIG mum cut me the smiley of the cake I made last night; I also had one bowl of the yummier (so flaky) bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug 0f water. Thanks to Karina who turned on Today for my viewing pleasure. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*

• After breakfast, Karina walks behind me back to the bathroom then goes back to wash up my breakfast dishes. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Karina's car. Thanks to her for helping me buckle my seatbelt before tootling me off to the Garbo library for GCCW.
• We get stuck in pretty bad traffic along Logan Rd., hence why I skip the loo trip upon arrival and head straight into Meeting Room Two.
• Only eight attended today but I brought cake, everyone sang me the happy birthday song (Pat did the hip hips!) and Tammy even gave me seconds! :D Homework for next week's mistaken identity; I'm gonna write about how I forgot poor PIG mum when I was first moved to the insane asylum! XD
• After the meeting ended four minutes early today, Satya even gave me a tin of biscuits for my birthday! <3 Just a pity mean PIG mum wouldn't let Karina get me a bowl of chicken katsudon for lunch. *sigh*
• Got home and took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Karina who rinsed my hair out for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was one bowl of rice leftovers (phew) and one huge mug of green tea. I'd asked PIG mum for a packet of powdered HK-style milk tea, but she said arvo tea.
• At 12:15pm I signed Karina off with my thanks and byes. She's back next Thursday @ some odd time since PIG mum's taking dearest dad to some followup appointment.
• After lunch I took the cup to the sink, used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• When nature suddenly called @ 2:15pm, I walked myself slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• After I've used up the most important two hours of the day I'll use the loo for one tinkle, sit @ the gobbling :P table and read Sam Neill's memoirs for one hour.
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 49TH time.
• Best of all, it's ice cream night tonight; like I say every week, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm and taking me to Breathe for physio.
• Presume we're buying groceries afterwards since once Peggy gets me home, showered, fed with lunch and goes home @ 2pm, Dorrie's coming and we're cooking sth together!
• Planning to wolf down dinner while watching  the 6pm news bulletin for the 50TH time since the Broncos are playing straight afterwards!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 482

 Good afternoon!

Aiya, it's the SECOND CONSECUTIVE DAY where I've been unable to enjoy the entirety of my most important two hours of the day online!! >< *sigh* Anyways, just briefly, yesterday's events first?

• Aww, my awesome sleep streak ended~
• Had NAB physio with Jack; our second-last together! Physio yesterday: ten transfers from double red mats to plinth, two and one-point kneeling, lunges, four 10m walk tests and eight laps hallway walking.
• Attended Toastmasters then got an UnHappy Meal with an orange juice for dinner.
• Repeat the usual nightly events, then zzz~
• Today: yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:05am, 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 cuddled  and snored, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am just before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with 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.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• After publishing the previous post I read and shared the She Reads Truth devotional.

Monday Post 481d

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3540 (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Restoring The Joy' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THREE MINUTES online after I visit the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, continuing today's events?

• Woo hoo the bullet points have returned!
• After giving me some eye goo, PIG mum helps 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 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.
• Breakfast is one bowl of Cheerios very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P and one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and for some reason the PLATE very lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the 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 the car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum climbs into the passenger seat and then dad tootles us to some -Ray place along Logan Road that was formerly an IGA and other shops for my CT scan. 
• Dad left, saying call me for pickup, and I took a seat while PIG mum went to the front desk to report my attendance. She came back with a clipboard, and I filled out the form attached to it.
• Almost immediately I'm summoned! I follow some Asian young lady into an area and sit down on the big armchair that takes a step first to reach.
  
• After warning her I'm extremely hard to cannulate and offering her my three jabs/chocolate deal, she only tries one failed jab before fetching another person to try, an Aussie man this time.
• Phew, he succeeds first go!
• I head into the tube but for a CT scan, you're only inserted into your shoulders! I pass in and out three times and that's it!
• PIG mum rings dad for pickup; he comes quickly and drives us home.
• Oh, whoops, forgot! Saw Ray for acupuncture and massage first this morning! Why he's the best long-lost cousin ever: he gave me CAKE! :D
• The new carer arrived really early this arvo! Asha's only thirty and hails from Kenya~
• Took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Asha who helped me rinse out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was some fruit, one delicious mug of vanilla chai sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar and one sesame rice cake. Thanks to PIG mum who found my book club novel for me; I happily read that for one hour (reaching page fifty @ 4:53pm and finishing page seventy-five @ 5:27pm) before having thirty happy minutes to play Royal Match!
• At 5:55pm I use the loo once more for two tinkles before signing Asha off with my thanks and byes; she's back Friday 10am till 2pm, I think.
• Happily watched the 6pm news for the 48TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post. 
• I heard the parents start dinner without me around 6:52pm. Once the news ended, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely over to the gobbling :P table, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• Entree was one yummy crunchy little square of garlic bread then dinner was rice with lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup tomato, lotsa soup onion, and one two/tiny slices of I've forgotten which meat.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• Righteo, hopefully bbl after one last tinkle @ 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 Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

- I'd not fully fallen back asleep yet when PIG mum suddenly starts a-THUMPING around upstairs; when she lets herself into my room I ask her has my clock run outta batteries, else why would you come hit me with the eye goo before 6am? PIG mum glances @ the clock and then laughs, "It's just after 9am now! I'll change your clock batteries for you later."

Anyways, events for today?

• - Oh, my dot points have vanished again. XD
• Woo hoo, 28TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! That's an awesome sleep streak as long as February and the second time ever I've achieved an awesome sleep streak that long!! Nature didn't call until 5:45am (which I thought odd; since it's approaching Winter the Sun doesn't usually rise until well after 6am?) 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. ^^

Sunday Post 481b

 Heylo again, good evening and probably one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, I've already logged in Sunday's plodding total @ 3786 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'A Sneak Preview?' Righteo, probable final, final events for things?

- Once I'd used up the most important two hours of the day, I used the loo once then sat @ the gobbling :P table for arvo tea.

- PIG mum passed me one huge mug of green tea and sliced a pear for me; I also munched one plain cracker.

- Then I took my 2nd 'long' shower this year - 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 side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before I tapped the nice warm water off and called PIG mum back.

- Since she'll not even help me dry my back anymore, after she passed me the towel I did everything myself until my bra strap needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.

- After I dried the toilet seat I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped both feet dry, washed and dried Era and then headed out to the sofa to happily watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 47TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.

- When PIG mum had finished enjoying the massage chair, she called dinner time. I used the loo for one tinkle and then climbed into the backseat of dad's 4WD. Thanks to PIG mum who helped me buckle my seatbelt both ways, since I've got seriously crappy night vision.

- Like the past several Sundays, our once-weekly family dinner out together was @ Ho Lin Wah. 'Twas officially the first time I've been lucky enough to have both lunch and dinner together! :D

- Don't think either set meal suited me, but I had almost (but not quite) one bowl of soupy thin ho fan with 1.5 cuttlefish balls and almost (but again not quite) bowl of some kinda fried rice. I also drank half the set soup, one cup of Chinese tea and just over one mouthful of the hot HK-style milk tea.

- Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era and then walked myself slowly and safely online, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

 - Toms: seeing Ray @ like 10am for some massage and acupuncture. Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD

- But right afterwards I'm off to the P.A. for a CT scan, since while my latest MRI shows no tumour regrowth, I've somehow developed a CYST in that space where my brain should be! o_O I told the doctor I've zero idea about cysts; should I start worrying that I'll blow up/explode?? She roared with laughter saying don't worry they're usually filled with water but come for a CT scan. That's happening toms arvo before I'll come home for lunch.

- Tom's 4-6pm shift's still TBA; can't remember has Michelle filled it yet.

- But fingers crossed I'll get to watch the 6pm bulletin for the 47TH time!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Sunday Post 481

 Good afternoon! Firstly, I'm gonna login today's plodding total @ 3786 (since idiot Wally suddenly RESET himself! ><); secondly, John piper's devotional topic from last night's "Satan's Candy Store"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Worship - Giving Yourself To God' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Being Still Before God'. Anyways, events for today?

• Whoops I've muddled up my count of awesome sleeps; today's actually the 27TH consecutive awesome one! Nature didn't call until 6:05am and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since I knew that PIG mum was gonna get VERY noisy exactly one hour later!
• Like clockwork, I'm woken for another pot :P trip exactly one hour later when PIG mum starts 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 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 briefly over the loo, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely out to the dining table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Breakfast is one bowl of Cheerios very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P plus one little delicious slice of the yummy chocolate cake PIG mum baked for Aunty Jo last night! I also drank one full mug of water, popped all my usual drugs :P and 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've done all day). PIG mum tootles us off to church. I hike up the ramp, use the first cubicle of the normal ladies loo (since the disabled loo has lid closed but horrid PIG mum won't lift it for me) , wash and dry both hands and then take my usual spot for service on the most left. PIG mum races up for CM with fifteen minutes to spare.
• Yay, I get to stay seated for worship again today~ I sing everything plus the harmony for four songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Our speaker was originally Rev. Aman Gupta but he's unwell and having tests done ATM! >< After praying for him, Pastor Peter just showed a video sermon~
• After service ended early and PIG mum fetched me, I used the loo once more myself, grabbed one pack of bikkies for morning tea then sat outside the service hall. Before PIG mum left  for her coffee and gossip social she took me once more to the loo.
• Yu Lam walked with me to the ramp; I leaned against the rail and we chatted while waiting for Peter Pie to bring the car around.
•  Today lunch was @ sth called like Wolfissimo, a HK-style cafe with Aussie options too! I was gonna get some kinda stack but a baked rice with a HK-style milk tea won out~
• Dr. Esther and David dropped me back home afterwards; 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.
• Think PIG mum wants me to shower once I've used up the most important two hours of the day. Taking one of my longer showers today!
• If dad really does take us out for dinner together tonight; that's technically the first time this year I've had both lunch and dinner out @ any restaurant!
• Toms: presuming I've got a late morning appointment to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture? Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD Me, I'm just hoping he'll bring me belated birthday cake! XD
• Originally we were gonna meet Mrs. Dent for my belated birthday lunch @ the Coffee Club but instead I've got a CT scan happening somewhere nearby like Pinelands Plaza! See, my latest MRI showed no tumour regrowth (phew) but instead I've grown like a CYST?! I asked the doctor was I like in danger of explosion and imminent death; she roared with laughter, immediately reassuring me no, they're usually filled with water but just get the scan to be sure.
• Have forgotten who's coming 4-6pm toms but Michelle has already emailed. 
• Will hopefully watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 47TH time.
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
