Sunday Post 497

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2191 steps (ha, I'm over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Gain Of Serving God'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'You Are The Vessel, Not The Treasure' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Our Thoughtful God'. Anyways, events for today?

• Have forgotten what time nature called during the night but after the first daylight pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep with Daddy Bear since I knew PIG mum would get very noisy one hour!
• Either she didn't (impossible XD) else I managed to fall back asleep really soundly with Daddy Bear (prolly; it's our first night together since the colder months arrived and he'll stay with me until Summer comes again) but I didn't wake until PIG mum let herself into my room! I quickly used the pot :P once more, she hit me with the eye goo then helped me exceedingly slightly with not only the bra strap but the tee before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I complied with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first. Actually, toms I may ask PIG mum to please help me with the jumper too, since today stupid Ela was  unco, it took me several attempts to get the jumper on properly and I nearly froze! o_O 
• 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 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 thin slice of that banana bread I helped PIG mum bake last night, with one bowl of healthy cereal plus porridge, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the toilet, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day0IG mum tootles us off to church, parking under the hall. I hike up the ramp, use the second cubicle of the normal ladies' loo once (since both the disabled and the first cubicle of the normal ladies loo have lids down but mean PIG mum won't lift the lid for me), wash and dry both hands then head into service and grab my usual spot in service on the most left @  the back. PIG mum bolts back up for the Canto service @ like 8:45pm.
• Yay, 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 Uncle Onny and he's actually a reverend, like Chris! Uncle Onny's sermon topic today was Who You Say I Am.

• After service ended fourteen minutes early, PIG mum got me, saying their service hadn't finished yet and the sermon has only finished! I used the first cubicle of the normal ladies loo (since this time the disabled one was occupied), grabbed a packet of Arnott's bikkies for morning tea and sat outside the service hall.

• Small Chow and Aunty Cynthia wandered over for a chat; Vicky's just come back from Japan and even bought me a souvenir! But I never knew Aunty Anne had a heart condition ....

• While everyone else enjoyed Vietnamese food together for lunch, dad made me have Hungry Jack's with him, while PIG mum was enjoying her coffee and gossip   social with the other aunties. *sigh* Today I munched a Whopper Junior, shared a  large orange juice with dad and enjoyed fourteen chips; usually, it's less than ten! 

• 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.

• Once I've used up my most important two hours of the day online I'll use the loo for one tinkle and then sit @ the gobbling :P table to wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea and start reading the Great Zoo Of China!

• Toms: 11am appointment to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him. XD

• Hopefully we'll grocery shop and aisle walk afterwards before coming home for lunch with dearest dad, else expect av super-pissy plodding total from me.

• Angelica's minding me from 3:30pm till 5:30pm.

• Fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news for the 65TH time toms, since dearest dad's already said I can watch it for the 64TH time tonight! 

• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 497c

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now5097. Lol, apparently, I'm just over half a normal person today! XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I  was just reading and sharing Facebook memories when PIG mum called out she was gonna make banana bread and did I wanna help? Actually I didn't but since Aunty Lai for some reason INSISTS I help out, I went over.
• PIG mum happily orders me to do this and do that, keeping me uncomfortable by constantly criticising my posture and not allowing me to lean against the backrest but I didn't really mind since I was seated and could fully concentrate. 
• Once all the ingredients had been added, mixed and poured and PIG mum excused me, I used the loo for one more tinkle, washed and dried Era and then walked myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. Not looking forward to a pissy little lunch with dad @ Hungry Jack's nor a stressful arvo @ the hands of mother followed  by a pissy little dinner out with the  parents for our once-weekly dinner out (meaning it's been one week and two days since I last enjoyed a proper meal out) but PIG mum kindly grabbed me Matthew Reilly's The Great Zoo Of China when I told her I'd finished the book that Mrs. Burvill-Shaw sent me, so I'm looking forward to start reading that for one hour!
• Anyways, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 490b

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4898 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Crocuses'. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• I quickly grabbed Sourcery to continue reading since I like reading for three hours every Saturday where possible, but I FINISHED THAT BOOK TOO @ 4:39PM!!
• Instead, 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 (Nine's) for the 63RD time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• When PIG mum summoned me for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle 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: swelling! Apparently it's doon mm jeet tonight! That was with lotsa cos lettuce, lotsa icky (but thankfully boiled meaning the taste was muted) bitter vegetable, one tiny slice of tasteless soup pork and one delicious but small chunk of chicken, which I obviously saved for last.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely 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 Sunday, else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 490

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4655 steps (ha, I'm over 4.5 grand; that doesn't happen often! XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's "Something To Boast About"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Much More/Much Less (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'God Knows Best' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 63RD time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Nature called twice just after midnight; after I'd used the  pot :P again following the Sun's rising, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Cowpig and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P around 9am, just before noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo, before going back outside and awaiting Caroline's arrival. While she's gone, 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 lets Caroline in, she instructs Caroline to gimme fifteen more minutes. Cowpig waves her away and I count down my fifteen more minutes in peace.
• When Caroline 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. After drinking one full mug 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 Caroline.
• Breakfast is my once-weekly fried egg (but Caroline scrambled rather than fried it) 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 my first mug of white tea with one spoonful of honey. Once I've finished it, I ask Caroline please for another mug but she says I may have two after I shower. Over and after breakfast I happily read the Philipps Gregory novel for thirty minutes first up.
• One more tinkle for me while Caroline closes and locks windows before I climb into the passenger seat of Caroline's car. Thanks to her who helps me buckle my seatbelt (as she kindly does all day) and then she tootles us off to Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown, parking across the road on level two and grabbing a trolley for us.
•  Lol today we only buy a sushi roll from Sushi Paradise on level four! I choose the beef yakiniku one since they're not offering a honey chicken one, dulp!
• 
  
• Back home, I take my quickest nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Caroline who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was two more of those delicious savoury muffins Dorrie made with me yesterday plus two more big mugs of white tea with one teaspoonful of honey. Caroline makes tea not too hot, yay!
• Before Caroline tootled me off to church to play table tennis with dearest dad, I sat over the loo for one more tinkle.
• At church, dad got her to play with me! Caroline's a leftie and played back in her home country; she's heaps better than me! But then again, everyone is. XD
• Uncle Simon's back from HK and played with me! When I groused @ him why didn't he eat his head off and come back heaps fatter, he tugged his shirt and cried, "But I did!" XD
• Uncle Sam kindly umbrellaed dad back down to his car, since dad was umbrellaing me.
• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle and then sat to hopefully read till three hours, but after reaching pg.  325 @ 2:58pm, reaching pg. 333 @ 3:09pm, reaching pg. 350 @ exactly 3:35pm, finishing pg. 375 @ 4:08, paused @ 3:56pm for a tinkle (arvo tea had been my delicious beef yakiniku sushi plus one huge mug of green tea) and then I FINISHED THE BOOK @ 4:26pm, with the author's note finished five minutes later!
  Cheers,
  Em.

• After I published the previous post, I had to let PIG mum to gleefully force poor Ela on one set of those FitMi  exercises. Tonight, that took twenty-two minutes.
• Usually, I visit the loo once more @ 9pm but since nature was   calling, @ 8:52pm 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.

Friday Post 490

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3789 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'When God Goes Against His Will'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Much More/'Much Less (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'In The Depths' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-ONE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 62ND time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Aww, what better way to end the week than with my first awesome sleep in three days? 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*
• Cowpig and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P when 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 giving poor Elf's ankle a brief rub since she ignored her last night.
• Once PIG mum lets Peggy inside @ 9:30am, Peggy stands @ the door and announces, "Good morning." When I wave Cowpig @ her she next states, "Fifteen more minutes." I wave Cowpig @! her again and she thankfully removes herself, thus saving herself from the wrath of the Bear Bum but she's a terrible cheat and comes back like four minutes too early! When I protest how long I've still got left, instead of leaving she just sits on my bed and every thirty seconds demands, "Now?" I just ignore her until I've counted down my remaining time. XD
• After using the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who's already squirted some toothpaste for me.
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Peggy, who tells me that she had her two usual fried eggs for breakfast.
• For my breakfast, I slurp one bowl of plain porridge mixed with some Minus :P one full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread with avocado and sprinkled with salt. 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 backseat of Auto (pronounced Alto) and Peggy tootles me off to Breathe for physio. Thanks to her who kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt all day.

• At Breathe, I tell Winnie how I've hurt Elf and mother said stay off Elf this session. Physio today: Sat down for Winnie to assess Elf and then plinth session: 36 leg raises for Erf, 36 arm press for Era and Ela each with 2kg dumbbell, 36 arm raises for Era with 2kg dumbbell, 36 bridges, tennis ball catching and boxing! As usual, Connor ignored me but he was all over Peggy this morning since she'd been playing with Ellie and Rex and he could smell   all the dog treats on her!

• After one loo trip (CX258 opens the female bathroom and the second cubicle's ambulant) Peggy tootled us off to Rochedale   Coles to buy groceries for my afternoon cooking session with Dorrie. When we were leaving, we bumped into Uncle Wallace, also out buying his groceries!

• Back home I showered my quickest -  hairwash  today. Thanks also to Peggy who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 490

 Good afternoon! Firstly, my final, final plodding total from Wednesday's actually 3986; (sorry, not quite four grand and even worse, the Maroons lost the opening Origin match last night! ><); secondly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1118 steps today (aww, 1111 would've looked cooler; how come I couldn't have plodded seven fewer steps?  But yay for being over one grand XD); thirdly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Payout For Patience'; fourthly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's 'The Irony Of God'; fifthly, TWFT topic's 'A Ministry Of Tears' and sixthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Great Power." Anyways, events for today?

• Nature called once around 12:30am; I used the pot :P again after then Sun had risen before I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Cowpig and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P when dearest dad comes and kisses me bye before heading out to Aunty Yvonne's place for work, saying he'll come home for lunch.
• More happy snoring for Cowpig and me; noisy PIG mum's daily a-THUMPING around upstairs my wakeup call to use the pot :P once more. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eyegoo before going back outside and awaiting Karina's arrival.
• After PIG mum lets Karina inside, Karina inside, she knocks, pushes the door open and calls out "Good morning, Emily; hitting the snooze button for fifteen more minutes ..."  I wave Cowpig @ her and she removes herself but when she returns 2.5 minutes too early Cowpig screeches @ her "150 seconds left!" And Karina thankfully goes to empty my pot :P instead, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD'
• When Karina returns, I use the pot :P for three more tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to brush teeth.  Thanks to Karina who's already squirted me some toothpaste.
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo   for tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Karina, screeching   @ her for not eating any breakfast and ordering her to buy herself breakfast and me second breakfast when I'm reading @ the library.  XD
• For breakfast, I slurp one bowl of porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread with avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt), all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh* Also thanks to Karina who turns on Sunrise for my viewing pleasure~
• After breakfast, Karina accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning 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 backseat of Karina's car and she tootles us off to Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown. Score, she puts Sparkless3 into her boot and lets me use it @ the shopping centre! :D 
• After Karina does a side park   along level two we both use the bathroom once and then I grab a Feist novel released in 2022 called Master Of Furies and happily read for thirty minutes~
• PIG mum doesn't need any shopping done today, so after our stay @ the library Karina tootles us home and I take a nice warm shower - hairwash  today. Also thanks to Karina who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, PIG mum cooked yeung   cheun noodles for lunch!  Also   yay that she remembered to pour me one powdered packet of HK-style milk tea coffee~
• Karina cleaned the bathroom and then showed us photos of the hot air ballooning and jet skiing adventure she had with her boyfriend for his recent birthday! Hopefully she'll see her daughter again next Monday~
• At 1:15pm I signed Karina off with my thanks and byes. She's back next Thursday.
• After one tinkle, I  walk myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• Once I've used up the most important two hours of the day I'll visit the loo then go read for one hour and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea.
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin 61ST time, although not looking forward to watching about the Maroons losing the first Origin match ... >< 
  *cringe* XD
• Toms:  Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm and taking me to Breathe for physio @ around 11am. 
• Presuming Sin Ye's coming to give Ela one hour of unfunctional hand exercises once Peggy leaves?
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing  end to their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Wednesday Post 490c

 Good evening and probably one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's probable final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 3631 (ha I'm over 3.5 grand XD) but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-FOUR MINUTES online after I get home from watching the Origin!! >< *sigh* Anyways, probable final, final events for tonight?

• Mina's from Nigeria and she's four years younger than me! Originally, she didn't know she was driving me to physio but phone calls to CODA and Staffing Options sorted that out~
• Physio today: Sat down then lay down (both on back and tummy) for Seiya and Georgie to assess Elf then thirty single leg pushups on the Tower Of Power for Elf.
• Aww Mina's such a sweetheart: she bought me a chai latte to drink on the way home! Got home late since she followed her GPS some weird roundabout way without using the highway~
• Hence why I showered my quickest when I got home - hairwash today. Also thanks to Mina who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was this adorable little sugar banana and one huge mug of green tea. Mina cleaned the bathroom then left two/three minutes early since agency doesn't require signing off.
• Rang Aunty Lai and sang her the happy birthday song; today's her BIRTHDAY! <3
• PIG mum just announced that her hand's sore; that's right: think she got her 2nd shingles vaccine today?
• Will use the loo for one tinkle @ 6pm and then wolf dinner down since Dr. Lee's taking me to GG tonight and we're watching Origin One! GO THE MIGHTY MAROONS!!
• Toms: Karina's minding me from 9:30am till 1pm; think PIG mum wants us to go to hike Underwood Park but I'm hoping she let us grab lunch from Ho Lin Wah since they open @ 11am before I get home for a shower!
• Nothing happening afterwards ... looking forward to my most important two hours of the day, reading for one hour and then watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 61ST time!
• Anyways, hope everyone's having  a smashing week!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Heylo again, good morning again 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 2111 steps (ha, I'm over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Authentic Vs. Phony Faith; thirdly, TWFT topic's "You're Almost There!" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Go And Tell' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-THREE MINUTES online after I get home from physio!! >< *sigh* But this morning I went grocery shopping with PIG mum and @ 12:15 some new carer's taking me to the NAB for two hours of physio. She'll see me home and showered before leaving @ 4pm. Will remind PIG mum to gimme dinner @ 6pm, since Dr. Lee's picking me up @ 6:45pm and driving me to the GG social to watch Origin One; GO THE MIGHTY MAROONS!!! Karina's minding me from 9:30am till 1:30pm toms and PIG mum says we can go to Underwood Park. Mostly I'm just hoping she'll lemme have an early lunch @ Ho Lin Wah! Nothing happening after she goes ... but most importantly, it's ice cream night toms night; like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all! Righteo, hope everyone's having a smashing week!
Cheers,

Tuesday Post 489b

 Heylo again, good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 3986 (sorry I can't be bothered to plod fourteen more seeps to make that total an even four grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Bodybuilding'. But just quickly noting that Nisha texted me saying that she'd pick me up for Toastmasters ten minutes late since she was stuck in traffic but third time lucky, we FINALLY got the free parking!  I'm taking that as a good omen that the Maroons are gonna win the Origin opener toms! :D  Only six attended tonight but Neil brought cheesy Dorito's! :D He wouldn't lemme have any during the second half since he said I'd eat them noisily but once the meeting ended seven minutes early, I immediately beckoned him over while tapping the table; he understood my wordless demand and immediately brang over the packet and shook me out some more. Denise was our grammarian and commended me for not using any crutch words but said that was prolly since I was too busy eating chips, but I screeched not true, Neil was mean and wouldn't gimme anymore when the second half started since he said I'd crunch them too noisy! XD Apparently next year I'm gonna be SAA? Should Google what that role entails ... hopefully not setup; I'm rather clunky in a wheelchair to help with setup! XD Had an Unhappy Meal with an orange juice with Nisha before she dropped me home; won't see her for the next five/six weeks since she's flying back to Kenya to visit her family, who she's not seen for half a DECADE! Too bad for her, she'll miss out on the Toastmasters pub meal! Toms I'm hoping Michelle will ring and say who's taking me to the NAB for two hours of physio and back  home for a shower; starting dinner @ 6pm since carer leaves @ 6:30pm and then Dr. Lee's coming @ 6:45pm and taking me to GG for our group social: BYO dinner before watching Origin One! GO THE MIGHTY MAROONS!!! :D Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 489

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3358 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Strength to Wait With Patience'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Tell Them While You Can' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Wow!' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-FIVE MINUTES online after I get home from Toastmasters!! *sigh* Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until  7:10am and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Cowpig 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 waiting for Angelica's arrival @ 9:30am.
• After PIG mum lets Angelica inside @ 9:30am, Angelica knocks, pushes open the door and tentatively calls out softly, "Good morning, Em?" I wave Cowpig @ her and Angelica enthusiastically bids Cowpig good morning also, before saying fifteen more minutes?  I nod Cowpig @ her and she thankfully withdraws, phew; thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
• When Angelica returns, 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 out to the gobbling :P table with Angelica, screeching @ her for next eating breakfast this morning and ordering her to buy herself some (and me second breakfast XD) when we buy groceries for PIG mum later this morning. XD
• For my breakfast, I have one bowl of warm porridge very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread with avocado and 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, Angelica walks behind me back to the bathroom before going back and washing up my breakfast stuff. Over the loo, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Angelica's car, and she tootles us off to Pinelands Plaza. Thanks to Angelica who helps me buckle my seatbelt all day.
• At Pinelands Plaza, Angelica grabs a trolley for us before we buy groceries from Coles.
• Our other stop's to buy my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from Aunty Nancy; when I excitedly tell her I saw her face on the wall to the bathrooms she replied that's not me, that's my boss! XD They're not related, and I've obviously got terrible facial recognition! XD
• Back home, I use the loo for one tinkle and then enjoy my crunchy pork bahn mi with one delicious mug of vanilla chai for lunch; just pity that Angelica couldn't find where horrid PIG mum had hidden the sugar/honey. *sigh*
• When Faith arrived just after 1pm Angelica handed everything over to her and I signed her off with my thanks and byes. Think she's back same time next week?
• At 1:15pm Faith (from Staffing Options) tootles me off to the NAB.
• Physio with Ryan today: Thirty sit-to-stands with left and forward weight shift and thirty single leg pushups on the tower of power for Elf. He's super-lucky: somehow, his girlfriend (who's studying law while he's studying physio) has got them tickets for Origin One! Sure, nosebleed seats but still!!!
• After I sat over the loo for two tinkles (Faith told me that she watched a horror movie while I was doing physio! o_) Faith tootled me home for a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Faith who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was some fruit and one huge mug of peppermint tea. At 3:55pm I used the loo once for two more tinkles then said my thanks and byes to Faith. Unsure when I'll see her again but she's heading home for a quick nap now since she's got a sleepover shift tonight!
• Me, @ 5:25pm I'll sit over the loo for two more tinkles and then @ 5:30pm Nisha's taking me to Toastmasters!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 489e

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight!  Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3738. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• At 8:30pm I had to let PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela on one set of those FitMi  exercises. Actually, we spent time first humming into Google! Wonder why my mobile could identify the tune but hers couldn't when my mobile's older than hers?
• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: Angelica's coming @ 9:30am. PIG mum's attending her Pilates class, so Angelica will help  me up; after breakfasting and toileting we'll buy groceries from Pinelands Coles and get my crunchy pork bahn mi for lunch.
• Then things get confusing: she's supposed to take me to  the NAB for physio with Ryan @ 1pm but suddenly Michelle has taken her off the shift and sent her elsewhere; dunno who'll take me to physio then see me home and showered before leaving @ 4pm? Personally I'm fine with just going and buying lunch from Pinelands Bakehouse before coming home for a shower; who needs physio? XD
• Looking forward to hitting Toastmasters with Nisha toms night! Not looking forward to getting a pissy little UnHappy Meal for dinner though. *sigh*
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 489d

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3516 (ha, I'm literally just over 3.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Exchange The Heartbreak'. Righteo,  continuing tonight's events?

• Once the news ended, I called out asking may I please join dinner? Sneaky PIG mum had gotten dearest dad to start dinner without me, meaning I'll prolly not really see him again until Thursday night. *sigh* When PIG mum replied come, 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.
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa cos lettuce, some yummy bean curd, a few thin strips of yummy pork and like two strips of black fungi! Yummy~ Since the parents had already retired to the couch, I happily propped both feet onto the footstool and left Ela sitting in my lap; I even continued reading the Red Queen and reached pg. 200 @ 7:14pm!
• 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.
• Haveta let PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela on one set of those FitMi exercises @ 8:30pm. *sigh*
• 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. ^^
  

   

Monday Post 489c

 Good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3290. Anyways, potential final, final events for tonight

• Thanks to PIG mum who opens the door for Angelica when she announces her arrival one minute early, thus saving me from a potentially dangerous trip to the front door myself.
• So a nice hot shower for me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Angelica who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing me to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was one yummy banana, half a plain cracker and one small mug of green tea. That was followed with one mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey coz I saw Angelica make herself a cup, asked can I please have a cup tooo and she said sure! :D
• Happily read The Red Queen for one hour, finishing pg. 175 @ 4:28.
• While Angelica massaged Ela, I told her about how five years ago silly Hannah got us T-boned and she tells me that Hannah's got ADHD! O_o
• Sat over the loo once more for two tinkles and then signed Angelica off with my thanks and byes @ 5:30pm. Originally she's minding me from 9:30pm till 4pm toms and taking me to  the NAB for physio @ 1pm but suddenly Michelle's sending her for some psychology lesson instead? Angelica suggests how about she take me  to physio and Michelle send someone to pick me up, take me home and assist with personal care before leaving @ 4pm? Michelle said she'd ring @ 5:30pm but obviously has not.
• 5:30pm  toms, Nisha's taking me to Toastmasters! Have already reminded PIG mum please to gimme some rice for arvo tea since I'm having my once-weekly  crunchy pork bahn mi  for lunch and an unHappy Meal for dinner.
• Anyways, hopefully bbl after dinner, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 489b

 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 2735 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "God's Design In Detours"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'To Be Used By God' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'From The Deadly Sword'. Anyways, events for today?

• Grr, I'd just started a four-day awesome sleep streak, but nature ruined it! >< When I swung myself over to the pot :P I curiously flicked the bedpost lamp on, guessing 'twas maybe 2/3am but surprise: 'twas already 5:30am! Winter's surely coming ... come Summer, it's light already @ 5:30am!
• When nature called again after 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*
• Cowpig and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P when dearest dad comes and kisses me bye, saying he's off working @ Aunty Yvonne's place this morning but will come home for lunch together~
• After dad's left, Cowpig and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me 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 laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Breakfast is one bowl of warm porridge/healthy cereal with one slice of toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully very lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual dugs :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 climbs into the car herself and tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage.
• At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle and then lie down for some treatment from Ray. PIG mum was obviously in her element getting to yap unceasingly @ Ray; today she got too excited and repeated one syllable @ him seven/eight times before moving on! XD My grateful thanks to Ray who always responded and kept a conversation flowing. Today I asked after his mother-in-law, who underwent her first round of chemo but will need to start a second-round coz this first round didn't work?
• After one more loo trip, PIG mum tootled us back to Warrigal Square to buy groceries. We found eggs! :D
• Back home, dearest dad had baked pizza for our lunch! The only shame was that he only gave me two slices about 1in wide. *sigh* When I groused @ him that I'd eaten one ENTIRE PIZZA four years ago yesterday (see Facebook memories) he laughed and gave me two snapped bits from a packet of Arnotts bikkies. *sigh again*
• Lunch was washed down with one huge mug of green tea; after taking the bowl over to the sink I used the loo for one more tinkle, washed and dried Era and then walked myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Angelica's minding me from 3:30pm till 5:30pm today. Not the usual 4-6, since she's gotta attend her jiujitsu class afterwards.
• Hoping to watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 60TH time!
• Toms: PIG mum'll help me up, since once Angelica arrives @ 10am she'll leave for her Pilates class. 
• Presuming we're buying groceries @ Pinelands Coles plus my once weekly crackling pork bahn mi from Pinelands Bakehouse.
• At quarter-past, Angelica's driving me to   the NAB for physio with ... Ryan, was his name? XD 
• She'll see me home and showered before leaving @ 2pm.
• Looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online and reading the Philippa Gregory novel for one hour before Nisha takes me to Toastmasters! Not looking forward to an Unhappy Meal for dinner afterwards, though ... *sigh* Oh, must remember to ask PIG mum to please gimme rice for arvo  tea else I'll fret! ><" XD
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Suddenly CODA (Michelle, I'm presuming) rings and says Angelica can only stay till midday  since she's got training but mother screeches I've got physio @ 1pm and needs a shower afterwards!  Hence why Michelle's looking for someone now ... XD

Sunday Post 489c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2912. Aww, sorry, not quite three grand.  Tomorrow, perhaps. XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• Then I had one whole HOUR to happily play Jewels since PIG mum was upstairs napping!
• She came downstairs around 5:10pm and ordered I take a shower.
• So a nice hot shower for me - I washed and rinsed my own hair today.  I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 15% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
• I had one tinkle before I called PIG mum; since she'll not even help me dry my back anymore once she passed me the towel I did everything until my bra strap needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking, and both laces needed tying.
• After I dried the loo lid I sat for one tinkle, stamped both feet dry, dried inside both ears, 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 (Nine's) for the 69TH time. All the things I like recording are in today's first post.
• Shortly after the news ended PIG mum called dinnertime and sent me to the loo.
• Like previous Sunday's, we had our once-weekly family dinner together out and like previous Sundays, I got piss little:  barely one bowl of rice, barely half a bowl of fried ho fan and nearly *(but not quite) one bowl of congee. I drank half the set soup, one cup of   Chinese tea and just over one mouthful of the HK-style hot milk tea.
• 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.
• 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: 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 unceasingly   @ him.
• Hope she'll remember to take me grocery shopping and aisle walking afterwards before we return home for lunch with dearest dad, else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me. 
• Angelica's minding me from 3:30pm till 5:30pm. Looking forward to reading the Philippa Gregory novel for another hour.
• Fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news for the 70TH time!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2837 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "Sharing In God's Nature"  Righteo, continuing today's events?

• Once I'd used up the most important two hours of my day, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat @ the gobbling :P table to read the Philippa Gregory novel for one hour and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea once she finished napping on the couch.
• PIG mum woke to gimme one   little banana, one huge mug of green tea and half a plain cracker before going upstairs and continuing her nap. I happily read for one hour, reaching pg. 125 @ 3:11pm and reaching pg.  150 @ 3:51pm.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 489

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1866 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's "The Bedrock Of Your Assurance'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Don't A Wall Build Up Between You' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Hope Renewed'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night!  Nature didn't call until 7:10am and after one pot :P trip I immediately try and fall back asleep, since I know PIG mum was gonna get really noisy really soon!
• Instead, fourteen breaths in, noisy PIG mum starts going THUMP; 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*
• PIG mum lets herself into my room too hit me with the eye goo and help me 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 laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to   the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Breakfast is one bowl of healthy cereal with one *tiny* slice of toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully sprinkled with some salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the loo, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all   day). PIG mum tootles us off to church, parking outside the hall. I hike up the ramp, use the disabled loo for one tinkle, wash and dry both hands then grab my usual spot for service on the most left.  PIG mum immediately bolts upstairs for the Canto service @ 8:43am.
• Yay I get to stay seated for service today~ I sing everything plus the harmony for three songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Pastor Peter Pie with another sermon from his Spiritual Gifts series.
• After service ended early, PIG mum collected me, I visited the toilet again, washed and dried both hands, headed over to the morning tea table to grab myself a packet of Arnott's bikkies for morning tea and then took a seat outside the service hall. Thanks to   PIG mum who poured me one Styrofoam cup of tea although I wish she'd add more sugar! *sigh* But Aunty Cynthia wandered over for a chat and that was cool~
• Unfortunately, while everyone else enjoyed lunch @ Mum's Wok, dad made me have lunch with him @ Hungry Jack's again. *sigh* Aunty Yvonne and Uncle Stephen joined us~ Dad got me a pissy little cheeseburger (I don't like cheeseburgers from Hungry Jack's since they come with mustard, but they seem slightly bigger than MacDonalds ones?) exactly ten chips and I shook a mini-Drumstick! Pity dad chomped most of it. >< XD
• Once home, I used the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era 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.
• Thanks to PIG mum who helped me with a pad change when she got home from her gossip and coffee social with the other aunties.
• Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day, I'll use the loo for one tinkle, sit @ the gobbling :P table to read the Philippa Gregory novel for one hour and wait for PIG mum to gimme some  arvo tea.
• Toms: 11am appointment to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him.  XD
• Will hopefully buy groceries and walk aisles with PIG mum before heading home for lunch with dearest dad else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
• Angelica's minding me 3:30pm till 5:30pm toms.
• Hoping to   watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 69TH time!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,

• After publishing the previous post, I had nearly thirty minutes to play Jewels, score!

• Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. Would dearly love lunch out with other ESS peers but just expecting a pissy little cheeseburger, less than ten chips and an orange juice with dad @! Hungry Jack's. *sigh*

Saturday Post 489b

 Heylo again and good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 5076 (ha, I'm just over half a normal person today, that's rare!) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Being Clothed'. Righteo, continuing today's events?

• After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast with Caroline.
• Breakfast is my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast and one very light bed of avocado, my first big mug of white tea with two sugars, all my usual drugs :P and one tall cup of water. I happily read for thirty minutes first up, resisting Caroline's urge to leave early.
• I sit once over the loo for one tinkle before climbing into the passenger seat of Caroline's car. Thanks to her who helps me buckle my seatbelt all day and she tootles us off to Sunnybank Hills Shopping town. It's super-busy today but she eventually finds a park along level three across the road.
• First we buy groceries from Coles before heading upstairs and buying more groceries from Coles. Outside @ Sushi Paradise I pick a beef yakiniku sushi roll for arvo tea since they don't have any honey chicken ones.
• Back home when I ring dad he screeches hurry up; you're gonna be late! Hence why I shower my quickest -   hairwash today.  Also thanks to Caroline who helps 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 delicious japchae I'd cooked with Dorrie yesterday arvo plus my other mug of white tea with two   sugars.
• After lunch, I sat over the loo for two tinkles before Caroline tootled me off to church to play table tennis with dad.
• Lol, what was the rush? The door was still locked; I just sat there and played Jewels until the key was found. XD
• Dad and I played for only one hour today since he had some duty for Saturday service, but we only paused once and dad even lemme win! <3 XD
• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle and then sat down to read for another 2.5 hours, since it's only Saturdays can I spend a blessed three hours reading~ I reached pg. 100 @ 4:23 and finished pg. 111 @ 4:39~
• After one more tinkle, I plopped online and happily   watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 68TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy broccoli, two chunks of pork (one was bony) and a tidbit of the japchae I'd cooked with Dorrie yesterday.
• 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.
• Tammy just  reminded me: GCCW scoring entries are overdue! o_O Better get to that now!
• Righteo, hopefully bbl  after  one  last loo  trip  @ 9pm wqith my final, final plodding total  for the day,  the final,  final events for tonight plus what's happening  Sunday else looking forward to seeing   everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 489

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4802 steps (so   hopefully I'll reach half a normal person before the day's out! XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's "Is Christ Worth It?"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Give God All The Glory' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Leap Of Faith' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and SIX MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 68TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 3rd 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 once more shortly after 9am for another pot :P trip. Back in bed, 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*
• PIG mum lets herself   into my room to hit me with the eyegoo  just before the new carer arrives. PIG mum teaches her to gimme fifteen more minutes and then shows her around the house.
• When the new carer returns and pokes me, I sit up, introduce myself then use the pot :P for one more tinkle. We get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom too brush teeth.   After drinking one full mug 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!

• Toms: Olivia's minding me from 9:30am till 1:30pm. Will remember to chat to Percy the saint/angel twice before she arrives and once more while doing a stinky unspeakable before heading outside and eating my once-weekly fried egg for breakfast. Oh, did I say earlier? When Peggy and I were buying groceries @ Coles this arvo, she spotted some and immediately got me to ring PIG mum  asking wanna buy a carton? Mostly I'm just touched that PIG mum answered hello; usually she just answers Em, what?? XD
• Planning to read for thirty minutes before we head to Underwood MarketPlace to buy groceries and get my honey chicken sushi roll.
• Showering and having lunch after getting home; hoping Olivia'll gimme two more big mugs of white tea before dropping me off @ church to play table tennis with dearest dad~

Thursday Post 489d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2851. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

•  PIG mum was so eager to gleefully force poor Ela onto doing one set of those FitMi exercises for her she'd wandered over by 8:27pm and was like chomping @ the bit but the moment I heard her I'd been playing Jewels after publishing the previous post XD) I closed the phone screen and watched the Dolphins vs. Bulldogs game. Don't care who wins: the Dolphins are a Queensland team, but I attended Canterbury College for high school!
• Doing one full set for PIG took like twenty-five minutes; I spent the five minutes till 9pm watching the NRL
• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one last tinkle and back, again and always always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Tonight's ice cream night, yay! Like I say every week, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30pm till 1:30pm and taking me to Breathe for physio.
• She'll see me home, showered and fed with lunch before leaving then @ 2pm Dorrie's coming and we're cooking sth together!
• Most importantly: tomorrow's my FREEDOM DAY! :D Seventeen years ago toms @ 5pm, I drove (my electric wheelchair) outta the double locked doors of BIRU screaming FREEDOM!! and hopefully leaving that horrible place hopefully forever to the laughter of the nurses behind me!!  Shame that the parents to have dinner out with me to celebrate but fingers crossed C1 and C2 aren't feeling too bad from their flu shot and can bring arvo tea to celebrate with me!!
• Can hopefully read for one hour and watch the 6pm news for the 68TH time!
