Sunday Post 388d

  Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3503. Ha, I'm literally just a few steps over 3.5 grand. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely for one more tinkle and back, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Looking forward to seeing Aunty Nga over Facebook videochat @ 9:45pm tonight; I didn't see her last Sunday since she wasn't feeling well but last night Aunty Lai told me that she'd caught COVID! O_o Really worried for her, even though this morning she told me she was alright ... *fret*
• Toms: PIG mum'll help me up before taking Aunty Lai Wah/Alex out for touristy things like catching fifty cents public transport. Dad'll take me to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage; unsure will we grocery shop before heading home for lunch? If not, expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
• Angelica's minding me from 3:30pm till 5:30pm. Can't remember who chose that time?
• Looking forward to reading Boy Swallows Universe for one hour and fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news for the 65TH time!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3307 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "Who's The Enemy?" Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• Once the news ended, I used the loo for one tinkle and then sat by the door waiting for the parents and Aunty Lai Wah to get ready.
• Lol, I was hoping dad would choose elsewhere for dinner now that Aunty Lai Wah's visiting but nope; we're back @ Ho Lin Wah!
• Again, dinner was a disappointment: less than half a bowl of ho fan and almost (but not quite) one bowl of rice. Since Aunty Lai Wah's visiting, dad ordered slightly more food, and I also ate one deep fried cuttlefish ball and one deep fried mantou dipped in a little condensed milk. I also drank just over one cup of Chinese tea, about half the set soup and just over one mouthful of the hot HK-style milk tea.
• Back home, 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.
• Anyways, hopefully brb after one last loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Heylo again, good afternoon and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2781. Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• Once I'd used up the most important two hours of my day online, I used the loo for one tinkle and then sat @ the gobbling :P table to read Boy Swallows Universe for one hour and wait for arvo tea. 
• PIG mum passed me one gloopy mouthful of passionfruit, one huge mug of green tea and while I'd been online, she'd baked a passionfruit cake while Aunty Lai Wah watched her! We all munched one slice; when Aunty Lai Wah said she got a "second help" I waited until I'd asked PIG mum to gimme another slice too please that it's actually second helpING. When I read for just over one hour, I reached pg. 375 @ 4:35pm.
• Took a nice hot 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 10%, but happily leaned fully against the side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling PIG mum back.
• After I tapped te nice hot 
• One more loo trip for me before returning online. Pity, the Broncos lost the game they were leading during the first half before PIG mum ordered me off to shower; eep, PIG mum says they've now lost THREE consecutive games! o_O
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^@^

Sunday Post 388

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2428 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Five Digital Dangers'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Kids Are Watching You (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Gracious Abundance. Anyways, events for today?

• Unsurprising I didn't sleep well last night and needed the pot :P around 2am; when I spoke on the phone with Aunty Lai last night, she told me that Aunty Nga had contracted COVID! o_O
• After nature called again once the Sun had risen, after another pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep, since I knew PIG mum would get very noisy one hour later!
• Sure enough, noisy PIG mum's a-THUMPING around upstairs wakes me for another pot :P trip, I've only just returned to bed when she  lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and tee 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 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's one bowl of porridge, Minus :P and Special K 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 climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt. PIG mum tootles us off to church, parking outside the hall. I hike up the ramp, use the last cubicle of the normal ladies' loo for one tinkle, wash and dry both hands and then grab my usual spot in service @ the most left. PIG mum bolts back upstairs for the Canto service @ 8:45am.
• Yay, I get  to stay seated for worship today. I sing everything, plus the harmony for four songs  but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was the new Mandarin pastor @ BCAC! 'Rooted In Christ' was his sermon topic and Serena translated for him~
• After service ended twelve minutes early, I used the toilet again myself, grabbed a packet of Arnott's bikkies for morning tea and took a seat outside the hall.
• Lol, I didn't recognise Aunty Lai Wah; originally I thought she was Aunty Cynthia!  But Aunty Cynthia came over and promised to help me make the parents a present for their wedding anniversary come August!
• Unfortunately, lunch was back @ Hungry Jack's. Dad enjoyed a fried chicken burger himself but gleefully restricted me to the most basic chicken burger (chicken royale), around ten chips and an orange juice. *sigh* At least Aunty Yvonne and Uncle Stephen came to eat with us~
• 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.
• Listening to the Broncos play the Dragons on ABC radio right now!
• Toms: PIG mum's taking Aunty Lai Wah touristing around, so dad'll take me to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Hopefully we'll grocery shop afterwards, else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
• Angelica's minding me from 3:30pm till 5:30pm
• Fingers crossed I'll get to watch the 6pm news for the 64TH time!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 388c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3820. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I read and shared the She Reads Truth daily devotion then finished and emailed around my GCCW homework before having nearly twenty minutes to play Bejeweled.
• 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: just church, definitely nothing special. Not looking forward to lunch @ Hungry Jack's nor the potentially stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum but definitely looking forward to the Broncos playing @ 2pm!
• Also looking forward to our once-weekly family dinner together, but sad that I've not enjoyed a proper meal out since May the 1st and will potentially haveta wait until our Toastmasters changeover function pub dinner before getting another proper meal out ... *sigh*
• Anyways, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  

   

Saturday Post 388b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3656 (ha, I'm over 3.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Prayers Of Jesus'. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• Once I'd used up my most important two hours of the day online, I used the loo for one tinkle and sat @ the gobbling :P table to munch my arvo tea honey chicken sushi roll and read, since it's only Saturdays that I can spend a blessed three hours reading~
• Annoying, dad demands I play table tennis in the garage with him for thirty minutes; Aunty Emily visits and turns out they're MOVING!! Will miss these awesome neighbours of ours~
• PIG mum demands I slurp one mouthful of gloopy passionfruit before passing me the honey chicken sushi roll with a spot of soya sauce and one huge mug of green tea; I'm just grateful Mary gave me three big mugs of white tea with a spoonful of honey when she was here earlier today!
• It's only Saturdays that I get to spend a blessed three hours reading. Just frustrating how SLOWLY I read now! ><" I reached pg. 300 @ 4:34pm, finished pg. 325 @ 5:13pm, reached pg. 333 @ 5:22pm, 5:32pm, and reached pg. 350 @ 5:48pm.
• After finishing reading @ 6pm, I used the loo for one tinkle and then discovered that I could watch the 6pm news from the beginning, even though 'twas already 6:05pm!
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 63RD time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• As expected, PIG mum told dad to start dinner with her without me once he arrived home from Saturday service and showered. *sigh*
• Once the news ended, I asked permission to join dinner; after PIG mum says come, I use the loo for one tinkle and then walk myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy garlic stem/shoot, lotsa soup melon, lotsa yummy cauliflower and two little cubes of pork.
• 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 bbl shortly after 9pm  following one last loo trip with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening Sunday, else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 388

 Good afternoon!  Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3130 steps (ha, I'm over three grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Freest Love'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Kids Are Watching You (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Following God'. Anyways, events for today?

• When nature called @ 2am, over the pot :P I could hear the rain bucketing down and thought score, won't haveta hike through Underwood Park with Mary today! XD
• After another pot :P trip once the Sun had risen, 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 wakes me for another pot :P trip around 9:15am with her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Before she lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo 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 PIG mum opens the door for Mary, she intructs Mary to gimme fifteen more minutes. Mary knocks, pushes open the door and bids me good morning. When I wave Cowpig back @ her she giggles with delight and goes "Aww, how cute!" before adding, "Fifteen more minutes, okay, Em?" Another nod from Cowpig and she thankfully removes herself, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD

• When Mary comes back, I use the loo for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I drink one full mug of water before sitting over the loo proper. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

• After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Mary. Breakfast's my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dried (unbuttered) toast with a very thin bed of avocado, one full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and one big mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey. Sneaky PIG mum tried putting the teabag into a smaller cup, but I just got Mary to find the white tea cup for me.

• Over and after breakfast I happily read Boy Swallows Universe for thirty minutes.

• I sit over the loo for one tinkle while Mary closes and locks windows and then I climb into the passenger seat of her car. Thanks to Mary who helps me buckle my seatbelt both ways but her GPS's odd: it takes her first to the nearby Bunnings! XD

• But May's smart and does a parallel park along level two before grabbing a trolley for us.

• After one loo trip, we buy groceries from ALDI first then Woolies but run outta time to buy groceries from Coles since Mary says she's gotta leave @ 1:30pm.

• Back home I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Mary who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

• Dried, creamed and rekitted Mary reheats a bowl of tasteless rice leftovers for my lunch. I ask her if she's ever doing this shift again will she please add some oyster sauce for me and Mary goes definitely, yay! What's more important's that she made me two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey~

• When the parents return home Mary leaves immediately, two minutes early. Think she said she's back Wednesday and taking me to physio?

• When nature suddenly called @ 3pm, I walked myself slowly and safely once more to the loo for one tinkle and back, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day, I'll use the loo for one tinkle, munch my delicious honey chicken sushi roll and read Boy Swallows Universe for another one hour and fifty minutes, since it's only Saturdays that I get to spend a blessed three hours with my nose buried in a book~

• Will skip watching the 6pm news for the 63RD time to achieve that!

•  Toms: just church, nothing special. Will haveta eat lunch with dad @ Hungry Jack's again and expecting a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum but planning to watch the Broncos play @ 2pm!

• Wonder where dad'll take us for our once-weekly dinner out? Haven't enjoyed a proper meal out since the beginning of May; wonder when the next one will come? Perhaps not until the Toastmasters pub dinner for the changeover function @ the end of next month, ugh ... *sigh*

• Anyways, hopefully bbl else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 4519. Ha, I'm just over 4.5 grand; that's even rarer than four grand! XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I continued editing my GCCW homework before realising I'd not shared my Facebook memories today yet!
• I was sharing a story from twelve years ago when 9pm arrived so I walked myself slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Last night both PIG mum and I forgot my ice cream; will try and remember tonight!
• Toms: originally Olivia was minding me from 9:30am till 1pm but CODA rang tonight and said May's coming! PIG mum says we can go hike Underwood Park (if the rain holds off) and go buy my afternoon tea sushi afterwards.
• There isn't any table tennis happening so I'm hoping to read for three hours toms! Saturday's the only day I get to spend a blessed three hours with my nose buried in a book~ Actually I might finish Boy Swallows Universe; must remember to ask Mary to find a new book for me~
• Can hopefully watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 63RD time!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 388b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 4430 (so will hopefully have reached 4.5 grand before the night's out) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "I'll Be Back". Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• Once Syn left, I sat @ the gobbling :P table and happily read Boy Swallows Universe for one hour, reaching page 200 @ 3:03pm, finding the book title on pg. 209, reaching pg. 222  @ 3:02pm and reaching pg. 225 @ 3:39pm.
• Reading finished, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 62ND time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post. At 6:35pm dad tried summoning me over for dinner, but I replied, "If you can't wait, please start first and I'll join you once the news has finished."
• Once the news ended I called out may I please join dinner? When PIG mum said yes, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely over 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: still leftover fried rice, topped with a mountain of yummy cauliflower, lotsa dearest dad's home-grown hairy melon and a couple slices of yummy black fungus.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after one last 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 weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 388

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4249 steps (sweet I'm over four grand; that doesn't happen very often!); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's "What's Meekness?"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Be True To The Scriptures' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Son Of God' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FOURTEEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 62ND time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Aww, my awesome sleep streak ended around 2am this morning but doesn't matter: 'twas otherwise a sound sleep~
• Nature called again once  the Sun had risen; after  another 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 just after 9am, shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Peggy's arrival @ 9:30am.
• After PIG mum lets Peggy in, Peggy knocks, pushes open the door and announces, "Good morning." After I wave Cowpig @ her, she next announces, "Fifteen more minutes." I wave Cowpig @ her again and she thankfully removes herself, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
• When 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 squirts some toothpaste for me.
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one more tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Peggy, who told me that she had her usual two hardboiled eggs for breakfast this morning.
• For my breakfast, PIG mum sticks one bowl of yummy Fruity Bites on the table for me. Peggy THICKLY spreads avocado over a slice of RAISIN toast for me; I also pop all my usual drugs: p and drink one full mug of water. Suddenly Peggy places a huge mug of white tea in front of me, saying "Second water." I'm eloquent with my thanks but Peggy waves them off, saying sorry I couldn't find where your mum hid the sugar/honey. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Auto (pronounced Alto) and Peggy tootles me off to Breathe for physio. Thanks to her who kindly helped me with my seatbelt all day. Arriving super-early @ Breathe, we both poke @ our mobiles (me playing Jewels and Peggy playing Tetris) before heading inside @ 10:50am.
• Physio today: 2.008km bike 🏍 ride, 36 leg-assisted pull-ups, 36 leg extensions for Elf, 36 leg curls for Elf, 36 v-bar rows for both hands, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing!

• After one tinkle in the ambulant cubicle of the ladies' loo (CZ258 unlocks it), Peggy tootles us off to Warrigal Square for grocery shopping and grabs a trolley for us after securing a disabled parking spot.
• Have I said before? The Warrigal Square Woolies looks really fancy with it's extended self-serve checkouts! Yay that Peggy lemme sit and rest the legs while she scanned our items.
• Back home I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who rinses out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted PIG mum had lunch ready for me once I emerged from the bathroom: one tuna in tomato and onion toastie with only one slice of cheese and one huge mug of green tea.
• At 1:55pm I sat over the loo for two tinkles. Coming out, Syn had just arrived, hence why I entered my room and lay down for Syn to assess Ela.
• That done, Syn helped me tie my shoelaces, I used the loo for one tinkle and then I sat down @ the computer and did one set of the FitMi exercises. Phew, Syn says I've not gotta do them again tonight~
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's, read by Melissa Downes) for the 62ND time: Ha-teya (first name), Gripske, Ryan, McKenzie, Masters, Roberts-Smith, Stokes (heard), Geran, Tostee (heard), Copp, Chalmers, Archerstraat, Blake, Miller, Paige, Kapterian, Albanese (heard), Subianto (heard), Chelepy, Putin (heard), Zelenskyy (heard), Trump, Rubio, Johnston, Lovelock, Gerostamoulous, Jiselle (first name), Manning, Slater, Mann (heard), Collins (heard), Woolf, Gilbert (heard), Carrigan (heard),  Kearsley, Carpenter, Begun, Vegas, Gerrard, Smylie (heard), Hindley, Hardwick, Tahnee (first name), Norris, Lenadurzi, Greer, Brigginshaw (heard),(heard), Zittrain, Bieber, Beard, Tate (first name), Wood, McDermott, Harding, Field and Kohler.

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3924. Aww, sorry, not quite four grand. Another day, perhaps. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post originally, I was gonna happily play Jewels for forty-five minutes but then I received a text from Pat and remembered I'd not done my GCCW homework yet!
• I immediately started that but didn't get very far since @ 8:30pm I had to let PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela on one set of those FitMi exercises.
• That took twenty-five minutes; I then spent the five minutes till 9pm continuing my GCCW homework.
  
• At 9pm, I walk myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30pm till 2pm and taking me to Breathe for physio @ 11am. 
• Presuming we'll buy groceries from somewhere before coming home for a shower and lunch. Will ask PIG mum to please ask dad for me again to let Karina take me to Red Rooster to get a quarter chicken and chips for lunch; it's only $5.50!!
• After Peggy leaves, Syn's coming to assess Ela for more Botox; hopefully I'll not  haveta do many exercises.
• Looking forward to reading Boy Swallows universe for one hour and hoping to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 62ND time!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing end to the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• Dinner tonight: leftover fried rice (oh, that's what lunch was! XD) with lotsa cauliflower, lotsa dearest dad's home-grown hairy melon and some halibut.

Thursday Post 388

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3234 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic's 'Ideas Have Consequences'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "'Forgive Them' and Delete The Offence" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Such Glorious Knowledge'. Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 10TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:30am and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Cowpig and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the poot :P around one hour later just before noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Karina's arrival.
• After PIG mum lets Karina in, Karina knocks, pushes the door open and says, "Good morning, Emily." When I wave Cowpig @ her, she next says, "Hitting the snooze button for fifteen more minutes, okay?" Another nod from Cowpig and she thankfully removes herself, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
• When Karina comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who's squirted some toothpaste for me. Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk out to the gobbling :P table with Karina, rousing @ her for AGAIN skipping breakfast and ordering her to get some when we're grocery shopping for PIG mum.
• For my breakfast, I slurp one bowl of watery porridge mixed with some healthy cereal plus one slice oof toast spread with avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, Karina lathers sunscreen over my face before accompanying me back to the toilet before going 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 who kindly helps me with my seatbelt (as she kindly does both ways) before she tootles us off to Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown and finds a park on the third floor.

• Karina grabs a trolley for us and first we buy groceries from Coles before catching the lift downstairs and buying groceries from Woolies.

• Back home, I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Karina who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

• Dried, creamed and rekitted, I've clean forgotten what I ate for lunch but thanks to PIG mum who remembered to gimme a packet of powdered HK-style milk tea coffee to drink.

• At 1:30pm I signed Karina off with my thanks and byes; she's back next Thursday and taking me to GCCW~

• After lunch, I used the loo for one more tinkle 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.

• Toms: Peggy's minding me 9:30am till 2pm and taking me to Breathe for physio. Fingers crossed dad'll lemme get Red Rooster for lunch; on the radio when Karina was driving this morning, I heard Red Rooster selling quarter chicken and chips for $5.50!!

• Peggy will see me home and showered before leaving before Syn comes to gimme one session of OT.

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

• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 388d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 6123 but secondly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed  online after I let PIG mum gleefully boot me off to bed!! >< Argh, but just noting down that I sat over the loo for two tinkles @  6:40pm before Dr. Lee drove me to GG; I hiked up eight steps and Leo/Dr. Lee kindly microwaved my rice leftovers for me; I like the pineapple! Back downstairs, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat in a chair placed beside the sofa (I don't head into the carpeted area) and tonight Eden (who had Red Rooster for dinner, the lucky fellow) led Bible study from Acts 2:1-41 and nine attended tonight. We split into guys and girls for prayer afterwards and then Dr. Lee tootled me home; Owen was in his car too. Karina's minding me 9:30pm till 1:30pm toms; fingers, toes and all other appendages crossed that PIG mum'll allow me out for lunch! Toms night's the second womens' origin; should I watch that? Queensland already lost the first!! But best of all, it's ice cream night toms night; like I say every week, a very little's better than none @ all!! Righteo, hope everyone's having a smashing week!
Cheers,
Em. ^^ Acts 2:1-41 Acts 2:1-41

  • Toms: think Karina's minding me from 9:30pm till 1pm? Mostly I'm just grumpy PIG mum won't lemme out for lunch. Tomorrow marks one whole WEEK that I've not enjoyed a proper meal out. >< *sigh*
  • But looking forward to spending my most important two hours of the day online, reading Boy Swallows Universe for one hour and watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 61ST time!
  • Best of all, it's ice cream night toms night! Like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all!

I ate breakfast, did a stinky unspeakable, bought groceries from Pinelands Coles with Angelica, bought a crunchy pork bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakery and came home for lunch. Drank a yummy vanilla chai; just pity that sneaky PIG mum had hidden the sweetener... *sigh*

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3910. Aww, not quite four grand. Another day, promise! XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• At 8:28pm PIG mum came over and tried getting me to do a set of FitMi exercises for her, but I ignored her for two minutes first. XD
• Exercises done, @ 9pm I walked myself slowly and safely to the bathroom 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 first, since Angelica's not coming till 10am.
• Presuming we're buying groceries from Pinelands Coles plus my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from Pinelands Bakehouse and coming home for lunch before Angelica takes me to the NAB for physio ... unless she'll lemme sit outside Pinelands Bakehouse to eat lunch before we head straight there? Nah, she won't, so no point asking.
• After Angelica leaves @ 2pm I'm looking forward to my most important two hours online then reading Boy Swallows Universe before Nisha takes me to Toastmasters!
• Must remember to ask PIG mum to gimme some rice for arvo tea since I'm only getting an UnHappy Meal for dinner toms night ... *sigh*

• Thanks to Bettina for remembering to leave the toilet lid open before she left two minutes early. I used the loo for one tinkle 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.
• Lorraine arrived like eight minutes late (traffic) today; thanks to PIG mum who let her inside when she announced her arrival, thus saving me from a potentially dangerous trip to the front door myself. 
• Took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. While I showered Lorraine told me about her cruise; she'd found out about it through Facebook!  She also remembered that I'm just one month older than her~
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was one juicy little mandarin, one plain cracker and one mug of green tea. Unsure why PIG mum keeps putting the green tea teabag into the white tea with two sugars cup, but I just get the carer to switch cups.

Anyways, potential final, final events for tonight?

• At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle and then lie down for some massage and acupuncture. Since PIG mum didn't see Ray last week, she had double the yapping to make up for today! XD Grateful thanks to Ray who always replied and kept a conversation flowing.
• After one more loo trip, PIG mum tootled us off to Calamvale Central to buy groceries from Woolies, the Mega Discount Fruit Market and the butcher before tootling us back home, where Bettina had already arrived and was vacuuming.
• Lunch was pizza! True, dad cut me two *tiny* slices but he'd topped the pizza with extra pineapple and cheese! I also enjoyed one last mouthful of the pasta bake I'd made last Friday with Sin and drank one huge mug of green tea.
• Happily read Boy Swallows Universe for one hour, reaching page twenty-five @ exactly 2:05pm and finding the title on pg. sixteen~

Monday Post 487b

 Heylo again, good morning 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 3401 steps (so will definitely have cracked 3.5 grand should I get to post after Lorraine leaves); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Go On To The Meal'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Born To Believe (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'No Regrets' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and EIGHT MINUTES online after Lorraine minds me from 3:30pm till 5:30pm!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 7th consecutive awesome sleep last night; that's already the 11TH time this year I've scored one straight week of awesome sleeps! :D Nature didn't call until 7:00am, 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*
• Cowpig and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P around 9am just before noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and the tee 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 to brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era before walking 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 Fruity Bites with one slice of dry (unbuttered) bread very lightly smeared with avocado and for some reason the PLATE very lightly sprinkled with salt (wonder why not the toast itself? Doesn't matter; I licked the plate clean afterwards 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 myswlf slowly and safely back to the bathroom, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt. She tootles me off to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture and we also listen to River 94.9FM today.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 487c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2859. Strange, I thought it took more than nineteen steps for me to walk to the toilet, walk over to wash and dry Era and then walk back online? Lol, whatever~ XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• Arvo tea was some sliced banana, about half a plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea.
• Happily continued reading Wind In The Willows: I reached pg. 325 @ 3:44pm, reached pg. 333 @ exactly 3:50pm, finished pg. 350 @ 4:03pm, finished pg. 375 @ 4:23pm and FINISHED THE BOOK @ EXACTLY 4:25!  Three minutes later I finished the About The Author section.
• Then I just happily played Jewels until PIG mum tumbled downstairs from pigland and awoke sufficiently to lemme shower.
• So a nice hot shower for me - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was all done after only 10% but happily leaned fully against the right siderail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling PIG mum back.
• Since she'll not even dry my back for me anymore after she handed me the towel I did everything until Elf's AFO straps needed sticking, my bra strap needed attaching 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 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 59TH time. All the things I like recording are in today's first post.
• Once the parents were ready for dinner, I used the loo for one more tinkle then climbed into the backseat of the car. Thanks to PIG mum who kindly helped me out with the seatbelt both ways this time since I've got seriously crappy night vision.
• Like past Sundays, dinner was @ Ho Lin Wah. I avoided the yucky A meal, spicy eggplant with rice but enjoyed about (but not quite) one bowl of the B meal, fried chicken drumstick with vegies in rice. I  also drank half the set soup, one cup of Chinese tea, half a cup of warm soyabean milk and just over one mouthful of the hot HK-style milk tea.
• Back home, 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 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.

• Will buy groceries and walk aisles with PIG mum before coming home for lunch with dearest dad.
• Lorraine's minding me from 3:30pm till 5:30pm; after she leaves I'm looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 60TH time!

Sunday Post 487b

 Heylo  again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2840 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Meditating'. Righteo,  continuing today's events?

• When PIG mum arrived home, I immediately went to my room and once she'd stepped indoors, called her please to bring out the Mother's Day present and card I'd gotten for her coz she'd hidden it that well, neither dad nor I knew where it was! XD
• Present given, I plopped online for my most important two hours of the day. When that was up, I used the loo for one tinkle and then headed over to the gobbling :P table to try and finish Wind In The Willows and munch the arvo  tea PIG mum, had  kindly left out for me before she hit the sack upstairs.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 487

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2445 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'A People For His Name'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Born To Believe (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'A Mom Looks Back'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:15am and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep, since I knew PIG mum would get very noisy exactly one hour later!
• Like clockwork, PIG mum going a-THUMPING around exactly one hour later wakes me again for the pot :P, after which she enters my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with not only the bra strap but the tee (since dearest  dad's home) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first. Whilst  doing so, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• PIG mum returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I  sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then dry Era before walking 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. 
• PIG mum deems it's finally cold enough to feed me one bowl of plain porridge for breakfast! I slurp that with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully very lightly sprinkled with some salt, all my drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the bathroom, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles us off to church and parks outside the hall. I hike up the ramp, use the second cubicle of the normal lady's loo (since both the disabled and first cubicle of the normal ladies' loo have lids closed but horrid PIG mum won't lift it up for me), wash and dry both hands and then head into service but don't grab my usual spot since when I approach the entrance Ella tells me I'm doing welcome with her and kindly grabs me a chair!
• When the chairperson says service will start soon, Ella kindly walks behind me to my seat @ the back on the most left.
• Sweet, I get to stay seated for worship today. I sing everything, plus the harmony for all four songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Pastor Peter Pie; he began a new sermon series about spiritual gifts~
• Aww, how adorable! The littlelies came and gave the mum's a present for Mother's Day, Aunty Miranda/ci mol was sitting beside me; after a lil boy gave her the present the aunty prompted him, "And what do you say?" The adorable little tyke looked straight @ me, saying very sweetly in Cantonese. "Happy Mother's Day!" I say aww and point him to repeat that to Aunty Miranda, since I'm not a mum! XD
• After service ended eleven minutes early and PIG mum collected me, I used the first cubicle of the normal lady's loo, washed and dried both hands, grabbed a packet of Arnott's bikkies then sat outside the hall again for morning tea. Aunty Cynthia came to show me some artwork she'd done with other church ladies only yesterday while Aunty Yvonne comes and says cya @ Hungry Jack's for lunch soon! 
• For lunch I get a cheeseburger (I'm not a fan since Hungry Jack's ones come with custard), exactly ten chips and one small orange juice. Looking forward to Toastmasters this Tuesday, after which I should get a small packet all to myself! ^^
• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle then called dad into my room to help me find the Mother's Day gift for PIG mum, only 'twas hidden so well dad couldn't find it either! XD
• When PIG mum returned home from her coffee and gossip social session with the other aunties I headed back into my downstairs bedroom and requested, she find the present so I could give it to her! XD
• That done, 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.
• Toms: late morning session to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD
• Will buy groceries with her and walk shopping aisles with her afterwards so confident I'll have cracked one grand before we return home for lunch with dearest dad.
• Lorraine's minding me from 3:30pm till 5:30. Looking forward to spending another hour reading Wind In The Willows; think I've nearly finished it?
• Also looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 59TH time!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
• P.S All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's, read by Paul Taylor), for the 59TH time: Heagney, Mam, Carrigan (heard), Sinner  Curry (heard), Meyer, Trump, deMinaur,  Vikram (first name), Misri, Stoinis (heard), Husicno, Marles (heard), Croucher,  Sharma (heard), Littleproud, Cuneen Albanese, Cowper, Shoebridge, Allen, Sinclair, Jarryd (first name), Hayne,  Keir (first name), Starmer, Prevost, Woods, Payten,  Dearden, Schrinner, Crisafulli, Payne,  Feeney, Todhunter, Lever, Coby (first name), Daly (first name), Black,  Hodges, Munster (heard), Bellamy,  Papenhuyzhen Weinstein, Dametto, Pedler, Pennisi, Volodymyr (firstname), Tusk, ,  Zelensky Slogrove, Rioli, King (heard), Heinke, Moore and Youngberry.

Saturday Post 487c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4823. Nearing half a normal person! XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post I read and shared my Facebook memories before playing Jewels for two/three minutes.
• At 9pm I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. Oh, wait, the special thing's that it's Mother's Day! I've got PIG mum's card and present ready for her; unsure when she wants it?
• Would love lunch out with other ESS people afterwards but expecting a pissy little sth  with dad from Hungry Jack's. *sigh*
• Also expecting a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum. *sigh*
• Anyways, hope to see everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 487b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4697 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Memorizing'. Righteo, continuing today's events?

• While waiting for Olivia's arrival, 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 PIG mum opens the door for Olivia, she instructs Olivia to gimme fifteen more minutes. Olivia knocks, pushes open the door and says, "Um, fifteen more minutes?" When I wave Cowpig @ her, Olivia giggles and wisely removes herself. XD
• When she comes back, I use the loo  for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. After drinking one cup of water, 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 head out to the gobbling :P table with Olivia, where breakfast's my once-weekly fried egg on a thin bed of avocado. Thanks to Olivia who stuck one slice of cheese for me on the top. I drink my first mug of tea sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar and happily read for thirty minutes first up, reaching pg. 150 @ 10:47am.
• I use the loo for one more tinkle while Olivia closes and locks windows and then I climb into the passenger seat of Olivia's car. Thanks to her who helps me buckle my seatbelt all day and she tootles us off to Underwood Park for a hike around the lake! Phew, once she turns sideways along Underwood Rd., I put my mobile away and we successfully find the pagoda with the walking tracks and sunlounges. XD
• My only protest was that the sunlounge was WET! >< XD Never mind, @ least it didn't rain while we relaxed on one each and played with our phones. XD Saw three dogs today~
• Got home and took my quickest possible shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Olivia who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was one bowl of the stuff I'd cooked yesterday with the OT plus my second mug of white tea with two sugars. While I ate, PIG mum sat @ yapped @ Olivia, who told me earlier today that her new place's @ Wellington Point.
• Before Olivia tootled me off to church to play table tennis with dearest dad, I sat over the loo for two tinkles.
• Olivia actually left fifteen minutes early today, once I was seated dad signed her off and shooed her away.
• We only played once today, but for three straight sets; dad even lemme win! XD
• Back home, 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.
• Usually, the parents lemme buy one long sushi roll for arvo tea but today PIG mum brought me back six little, tiny teriyaki chicken ones? That was washed down with one huge mug of plain green tea, and I happily read for another 2.5 hours, since it's only Saturdays that I get to spend a blessed three hours reading~ Today I finished pg. 222 @ 3:51pm, finished pg. 225 @ 3:54pm, reached pg. 250  @ 4:13pm, reached pg. 275 @ 4:48pm and reached pg. 300 @ exactly 5:10pm.
• After using the loo for one more tinkle, 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.

• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 58TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• Since the parents answered dinner was ready after I called out the news had ended, 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.
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy garlic stem, maybe some fish? Leftovers from cooking with the OT yesterday and two slices of abalone; I like the texture!
• Dinner was washed down with one cup of water; 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 with my final, plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening Sunday, else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 5th 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*
• Cowpig 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 before going back outside to wait Olivia's arrival.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:30am, and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Cowpig and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P just after 9am, shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Peggy's arrival.
• After PIG mum lets Peggy inside @ 9:30am, Peggy knocks, opens the door and bids me good morning. When I wave Cowpig @ her, she then states, "Fifteen more minutes." Another nod from Cowpig and she thankfully removes herself, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
• When 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 my toothpaste for me.

Thursday Post 487c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 5223, Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• One lady was new! She's away in Japan next month but says she'll come back the month after. Helen kindly made me one cup of white tea with two sugars and I'm unsure how far I'll get with the next book since it's Wind In The Willows and I've never done very well with classics. Usually, I give the book fifty pages to get interesting but tonight Di ordered I persevere till 100. XD
• After one more loo trip, Nazbeen tootled me home.
• Dinner tonight: very watery rice, lotsa dearest dad's home-grown hairy melon (hence why the rice was that watery), lotsa soup carrot and two/three slices of salmon.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the fridge 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.
• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Let PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela on one set of those FitMi  exercises. Hence why I'm staying online till nearly 10pm for my most inmportant two hours online. May need to postpone my ice cream till toms, should PIG mum hit the sack first. Mostly I'm just cranky that she didn't lemme get the $1.50 McFlurry deal from the MyMaccas app; today was the last day the offer's available! >< *sigh*
• Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm, only we may not get to head out since I'm awaiting a telephone follow-up for the cyst my brain randomly sprouted! Should the P.A. not come, PIG mum'll send Peggy out to buy groceries for us.
• Sin's coming after Peggy leaves and we're cooking sth together!
• Looking forward to starting the new book club novel, spending my most important two hours of the day online, starting the new book club novel for one hour, watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 57TH time, wolfing down dinner and watching the Broncos play toms night! Note to self: remember to read and watch the match previews toms.
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing  end  to their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
