Friday Post 604

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2425 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Jesus Keeps His Sheep' (seems familiar; wasn't that yesterday's devotional?); thirdly, TWFT topic's "Compassion Begins With The Word 'Notice'" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'God-Given Gifts'. Anyways, events for today?

• Grr I was one night off from beginning an awesome streak, but idiot nature called last night and spoiled it!  >< *sigh* Never mind, 'twas a restful sleep otherwise~
• When  nature called again  after the Sun  had risen, I used the pot :P again  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*
• Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking for another pot :P trip around 9am when PIG mum begins her usual daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give Elf a very brief rub since she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night. Doesn't matter, Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes and she wore her sock to sleep last night~ But thanks to  her for saying she'd cancel my physio @ Breathe today since I'm still chesty. Usually I  endure multiple sessions of blasted physio  weeklt from the first week of the year until the week of Christmas but OMG I've not had any physio this week  since I'm not attending this current block  @ UQ!
• After PIG mum lets Peggy inside, Peggy knocks, pushes open the door and announces good morning. When Daddy Bear flops   his arm @ her, she next states "Fifteen more minutes." Daddy Bear gives another arm flop and Peggy wisely removes herself, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
• When Peggy comes back, I use the pot :P for three more tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who squirts me some toothpaste.
• Teeth brushed, 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. Usually, Peggy walks behind me but today when I called out for her PIG mum was yapping @ her so just demanded come out yourself; Peggy's preparing your breakfast.
• Breakfast is one bowl of healthy cereal cross plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) bread lightly spread with avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, Peggy slathers my face and hands with sunscreen before accompanying me back to the bathroom then returning to the kitchen 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!
• Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Did stinky unspeakable then went with Peggy to Rochedale Coles and we bought groceries. Eggs are back in stock!
• Came home for a nice hot shower - hairwash today.  Also thanks to Peggy who helped me rinse out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was one tuna in tomato and onion toastie with one slice of cheese cut into rectangles and one huge mug of herbal (green/peppermint) tea.
• Used the loo for two more tinkles then signed Peggy off with my    thanks and byes @ 2pm.
• Cooked some casserole thing with Dorrie and will have for dinner tonight! Poor Dorrie's shocked since her neighbour  suddenly passed away~
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 130TH and then watching the Broncos play the Eels!
• Toms: rang CODA this arvo to ask who's minding me from 9:30am till 1:30pm but I've already forgotten the answer.  XD
• Looking forward to my three big mugs of white tea sweetened with one big spoonful of honey (I drink one during breakfast and two after getting home for lunch) and playing table tennis with dearest dad @ church!
• Unsure how long I can read for toms ... willing to skip watching the 6pm news for the 131ST time if that means I can spend a blessed three hours reading!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 604

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total from Wednesday's actually 4582 (sweet I'm just over 4.5 grand; that doesn't happen very often! XD); secondly, I was unfortunately still owed ONE HOUR and FIFTEEN MINUTES online last night; thirdly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2421 steps (sorry, not quite 2.5 grand; maybe toms XD); fourthly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Jesus Keeps His Sheep'; fifthly, TWFT topic's 'Dealing With Relationship Issues (2)'; sixthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Led By  The Holy Spirit' and seventhly, Joni's devotional  topic's 'Near The  Cross' but eighthly and way most importantly, I'm  really  still owed THIRTY MINUTES online should PIG mum  boot me off to bed @ 9:45pm; argh, that'll be the SECOND CONSECUTIVE DAY I've been unable to have the ENTIRETY of th MOST IMPORTANT  TWO HOURS of  my day online!! >< But just briefly, yesterday's events first?

• Went grocery shopping with mother during the morning.
• Came home for lunch then played table tennis and enjoyed TWO slices of cake for Justin's birthday! Think he's 46~
• David gave me a lift to Rosanna's place for GG Bible study with BYO dinner.
• Today: yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call till 6:45pm~
• Some new carer took me to GCCW! Sereana's from Fiji!
• Twelve attended today; Mary almost gave me a heart attack when she exclaimed, "Where's the morning tea?  There's not even   enough here for Em!" I let out a mock-horrified loud gasp, everyone bursts into laughter and Tammy rushes forward to Mary where she'd hid the morning tea. Phew, crisis averted! XD
• Came home for a nice hot shower - also thanks to Sereana who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was one yummy tomato and onion   toastie with TWO cheese, HEAVILY buttered and one packet of powdered HK-style milk tea.
• After I signed Sereana off with my thanks and byes, Michelle rang asking was she okay and I said fine but afterwards dad groused she hadn't cleaned the bathroom properly; maybe PIG mum'll ring Michelle toms and tell her?
• But we went out to the airport DFO since dad's going to HK this Sunday and needed to buy belts for Uncle Fung! OMG dad brought and lemme use Sparkless3; I got to WINDOWSHOP! I even picked up a new pair of sneakers and I've got correct shoe anatomy: it's really called around the heel area! XD
• Had dinner @ Westfield Chermside! I don't remember visiting before but apparently, I have?
• Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30pm till like 1:30pm and taking me to Breathe for physio before we buy groceries for my   cooking session with   Syn toms arvo.

• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing end to the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 604c

 Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 3184 but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and FIFTEEN MINUTES online after I get home from GG tonight!!  Righteo, continuing last night's events?

• At 5:25pm I used the loo once more for two tinkles and then climbed into the back of Lorraine's car. She drives a bigger car, but luckily, I can clamber into it without the need for the block needed for Hannah's tank.   XD
• Yay, we got the free parking last night; I even gave an impromptu speech about yesterday being five years since silly Hannah had gotten us T-boned and killed the Camry! >< Damian was my evaluator; I   was let off for saying sh*t but warned against starting continuous sentences with 'so'. I also did the SAA, warmup and timer roles but didn't score any chips. >< XD
• Afterwards, Lorraine tootled me back to Maccas for an  UnHappy meal with an orange juice. She got herself chips and a plain sundae. I asked her who no topping and she told me since she's actually pre-diabetic! o_O
• Back home, PIG mum hit me with   the eye goo and left me to get myself to bed @ 9:45pm. Elf enjoyed wearing her sock to sleep last night; zzz~
• Today: yay, 2nd awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:45am and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep, since dad usually leaves for work @ 7:45am!
• Actually, dearest dad very thoughtfully walks silently along the hallway and unpops the lock into the garage @ 7:35am; that's my wakeup call to use the pot :P again. After the  second pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*

Wednesday Post 604b

 Heylo   again, good morning again and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I get the chance to post before midday.  XD Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Tuesday's actually 5173 (sweet I was more than half a normal person yesterday; that's rare!); secondly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's 'Everything ... Or Some Things?'; thirdly, today I've been   hard @ work plodding 3088 steps (ha, I'm just over three grand XD); fourthly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Preach To Yourself'; fourthly, TWFT topic's 'Dealing With Relationship Issues (1)' and fifthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Led By   The Holy Spirit' but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after I get home from GG Bible study tonight!! Anyways, let's start with yesterday's events first!

• Once I'd used up the most important two hours of the day, I used the loo for one tinkle and then sat down @ the gobbling :P table to read and munch arvo tea. Thanks to PIG mum who microwaved me some rice for arvo tea since I'd not had any yesterday yet.
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Tuesday Post 603

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4437 steps (ooh, should crack 4.5 grand before Tuesday ends; that's rare!); secondly, John Piper's daily   devotional topic from last night's 'Models For Combating Discouragement'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Being Energised By The Work Of God' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Persisting In Prayer'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:00am and after one pot :P trip, I fall back asleep immediately in case dearest dad leaves for work @ 7:45am!
• Instead, Daddy   Bear and I cuddle and happily snore until I'm woken by noisy PIG mum going a-THUMPING around upstairs @ 9am for another pot :P trip? After relieving myself again, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Soon, PIG mum's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor Elf a very brief rub, since she totally ignored my poor foot last night.
• When Angelica announces her arrival @ 9:30am, PIG mum lets her in. Angelica knocks, opens the door and enthusiastically cries, "Good morning, Em!" When I flop Daddy Bear's paw @ her she next cries, "Oh, hi, bear!" Daddy Bear's paw gives a 'shoo' motion and Angelica remembers, "Oh, Daddy Bear, that's your name! Do you want fifteen more minutes, Daddy Bear?" Daddy Bear nods and Angelica wisely removes herself, thus saving her from the wrath of   the Bear Bum.   XD
• When Angelica returns, I use the pot: p for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth, before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I head out to the bathroom with Angelica, rousing @ her for not eating any breakfast this morning and informing her that she'd buy some brunch when I got my once-weekly   crunchy pork bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse. XD
• For my breakfast, I slurp one bowl  of plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread with avocado  and sprinkled with salt, one full mug of water :P all my usual drugs :P and thanks to Angelica for one big mug of  Ceylon  tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey! Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*

See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into Angelica's car, and she tootles us off to Underwood Park for a hike around the lake!  Thanks to her who kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt all day~
• The skies werevgrey but luckily the rain held off! We hiked around the lake, I lay down in the sunlounge for a photo and we left!  We bumped into this couple with a BEAUTIFUL tan-coloured husky who were walking around the lake four times; when they paused to say hi, Ela gave the beautiful husky a pat!
• Our other stop was Pinelands Plaza to buy groceries @ Coles and get our lunch from the Pinelands Bakehouse! One crunchy pork bahn mi for me and three pork ball sticks for Angelica~
• Back home, I took a nice hot shower -   hairwash today.  Also thanks to Angelica who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was my delicious crunchy pork bahn mi with one big mug of Angelica's yummy Ceylon tea, sweetened with one spoonful of honey and topped with milk.
• At 1:55pm I sat once more over the loo for two tinkles and then signed Angelica off with my thanks and byes; she's back same time next Tuesday.
• Suddenly Ping Yee comes with some wontons for PIG mum! I open the door for her~
• Once I've used up   the most important  two  hours of my day, I'll use the looo for one tinkle and then sit  to  read for one hour and munch   arvo tea. Hope PIG mum remembers to gimme some rice!!
• At 5:30pm Lorraine's taking me to Toastmasters! I'm timekeeper  and warm-up  master; theme's 'weird laws'.
• Toms:  hope PIG mum helps me  up not too late and takes me  grocery shopping  somewhere before coming home for  lunch  since Holly's rostered down to  take me to  table tennis. Only  she hasn't appeared for awhile ...?

• Mostly I'm looking forward to CAKE for Justin's birthday toms :D
• Unsure why the font suddenly went MASSIVE?! I've tried making it smaller! XD
• Presuming David will  come pick me up   for BYO dinner and  GG Bible study @ 6:45pm? Will confirm  when I'm going to table tennis toms~
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 603e

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3465. Aww, sorry, not quite 3.5 grand. Maybe toms.  XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• Yup, PIG mum   came over @ least three minutes earlier, she was that excited to gleefully force poor Ela to do one set of those FitMi exercises for her, but I quickly ended the previous then returned to sharing Facebook memories until 8:30pm before letting PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela on those exercises.
• Tonight, that took twenty-five minutes; I then spent five more minutes sharing Facebook memories.
• At 9pm, I walked myself slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: Angelica's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm. Since I've not got NAB physio this block, she's gonna help me up and then PIG  mum'sa thinking of sending us for a hike around Underwood Lake before we buy   groceries from Pinelands Coles and get my once-weekly crunchy pork  bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakery. Wonder if there'll be time for a Vietnamese iced coffee and bubble tea also?  XD
• Once Angelica leaves I'll spend my most importantv two hours of the day online, use the loo  for one tinkle and then  sit @ the gobbling :P table  for arvo  tea (reminding PIG mum now that I  need rice XD) 
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 603d

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3314 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Jesus @ The Helm'. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

•  So a nice hot shower for me   -  hairwash  today. Also thanks to Lorraine who kindly helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried,   creamed and rekitted,  arvo  tea was one tiny but delicious sugar banana, two plain crackers and one little cup   of green tea. Unsure why PIG mum had put the green tea teabag into the white tea with   sweetener cup, but I just told Lorraine to    find me the smallest cup.
• Happiness was reading the book club novel for one hour (today I reached pg.  425 @ 4:04pm after clean forgetting about pg. 400 XD) then happily played Royal Match and Jewels for like   twenty-five minutes.
• At 5:40pm I sat over the loo for two more tinkles before signing Lorraine off with my   thanks and byes; she's back toms night and taking me to Toastmasters! Only my roster says Nisha's taking me? Have texted her asking is she alright~
• Happily watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 129TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner   @ 7:19pm, I used the loo for one tinkle 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 broccolini, lotsa surprisingly yummy pumpkin (from Uncle Pong!), two/three lil slices of sar  gok (say that in Canto) and two  lil pieces/chunks of pork/chicken.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowlful 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.
• Will haveta let PIG mum  gleefully force  poor Ela on one set of  those FitMi exercises @ 9:30pm. *sigh*
• Righteo,  hopefully  bbl  afterwards following one last loo trip with my final,  final plodding total  for today, the  final, final  events for tonight plus what's happening toms, else wishing everyone a smashing  Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• When Lorraine suddenly announced her arrival pm both PIG mum and I answered the door.  Was she one minute late/fourteen minutes early? Turns out one minute late but unsure why CODA pushed the shift fifteen minutes earlier without informing us? Doesn't matter!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 603b

 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 2806 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Grace For Every Need'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Secret To Success' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Shelters Of God's Care". Anyways, events for today?

• GRR! For the 3RD time this year I was denied scoring one whole week of awesome sleeps by one day and not only   that, woke with a chesty cough and sore throat! o_O 
• After another pot :P  trip  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*
• Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P when dearest   dad comes to kiss me bye and  retuck me back into bed before going to work, saying he'll come home and eat lunch with me. Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore again, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am, just before noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy   a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me with the tops before leaving me to   get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with    after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• When I tell PIG mum I've mostly kitted myself, she comes back to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both shoelaces, before I let her gleefully   FORCE :( me to walk over to   the bathroom   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 plain porridge and warmed healthy   cereal with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and for some reason   the PLATE (not the toast?) sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full cup of water.  Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, I walk myself slowly    and safely   back to   the bathroom, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I walk myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• When PIG mum's ready to go, I climb into the backseat of her car. Amazingly, today she HELPS me buckle my   seatbelt!! We listen to her mix of Chinese pop all day   as she tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage.
• At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle then lie down for some acupuncture and massage. PIG mum's in her element yapping unceasingly   @ Ray; my grateful thanks to Ray who always replied and kept a conversation flowing. I've told PIG mum before relax, you've got the whole hour to yap and nobody's gonna steal your spotlight, but she can't contain her excitement; today she repeated one syllable EIGHT times before continuing! XD
• After one more tinkle PIG mum tootles us back to Warrigal Square Woolies and we buy groceries before heading home for lunch with dearest dad.
• Bettina's already   arrived and cleaning; for lunch dad feeds me two *tiny* (combined they would still be smaller than one normal slice) of pizza with added toppings while PIG mum pours me one huge mug of herbal tea to wash lunch   down with.
• After taking the cup to sink I  I used the loo for one tinkle and then plopped online.
• Lorraine's minding me from 4-6pm today. Looking forward to reading for on hour and then watching the 6pm   news bulletin (Nine's) for the 129TH time!
• Toms: Angelica's minding me from 9:30am but only till 1:30pm since I'm not @ the NAB for physio this block! Fingers crossed for a Vietnamese iced coffee but unsure will there be time for bubble tea too? XD
• Looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online and then reading the book club novel for one hour!
• Nisha's taking me  to Toastmasters @ 5:30pm; must remember to  ask PIG mum to  please gimme some RICE for  arvo tea toms else I'll fret! >< XD
• Hoping for rice for arvo tea - bbl!

Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2963 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "His Timing's Perfect"; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Become Willing To  Change (4)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Singing God's Praises" but fifthly  and way most importantly, I'm really ONE HOUR and FIVE MINUTES online still owed  online after dinner @ Aunty Yvonne's place tonight! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:50am and after one pot :P trip I immediately tried falling back asleep again since I knew PIG mum would get super-noisy like fifteen minutes later!
• Sleep didn't return fast enough; instead, 154 breaths into   falling back   asleep noisy PIG mum went THUMP and I realised sleep wasn't gonna return. 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 let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me only with the tops before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk to the bathroom 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 plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very thinly spread with avocado and for some reason the PLATE (not the toast?) 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 (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles us off to church and parks outside the service hall. I haul myself up the ramp, use the disabled toilet for one tinkle myself, wash and dry Era and then grab my usual spot @ service on the most left.
•  Yay, I get to stay seated for worship 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 a new sermon series entitled How To Train Your Christian; obviously he's adapted that from the series How To Train Your Dragon! Wonder if it's worth watching?
• After service ended twenty minutes early, I used the loo for  one more tinkle,   washed and dried both hands, grabbed one packet of  bikkies from the morning tea table and sat outside the service hall. Aunty Cynthia came over  for a chat and Yu Lam and Peter Pie  said they'd gimme a lift to lunch and back to their place for -  bbl!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Saturday Post 603c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4735. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• But yay that I was finally left alone to finish reading for three hours: today I finished pg. 275 @ 2:51pm, found the book title on pg. 289, finished pg. 300 @ 3:19pm, finished pg. 325 @ 3:46pm, finished pg. 333 ten minutes later @ 3:56pm and reached pg. 350 @ 4:27pm.
• Used the loo for one tinkle, plopped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 128TH time. All the things I like recording are in today's first post.
• Since we're having dinner toms night @ Aunty Yvonne's place (hence why dad's preparing duck) tonight we had our once-weekly family dinner together out @ Ho Lin Wah. I had like half a bowl of vermicelli, half a bowl of rice, one little mantou  dipped into condensed milk and drank half the set soup, one cup of Chinese tea and just over one mouthful of the 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.
• 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.
• Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. Actually, the special thing's that we're having some family meeting thing @ Peter Pie's place @ 2:30pm and Yu Lam says they can count me in for lunch and gimme a lift to her place; fingers crossed dad agrees!
• The other special thing's that we're invited over to Aunty Yvonne's place for dinner, since dad just finished renovating their place for them! Mother's baking a cake for that now~
• Anyways, looking forward to  seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday post 603b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4569 (sweet I'm just over 4.5 grand; that's even more uncommon than reaching 4000!) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "Who's Important Here?" but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed NINETEEN MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• At church, dad immediately signs Sharon off and shooes; I think she's back same time next week?
• Today I play twice/thrice with dearest dad and once with Uncle Simon! Hilarious: every now and again I manage to play a semi-decent shot that Uncle Simon makes an effort sound - ah!- to hit; cheeky me replies ah! with my returning hit back. After this happens for several consecutive shots, one aunty playing on the next table remarks "They sound like a pair of crows, don't they?" Play pauses momentarily as both Uncle Simon and I burst into laughter.  XD
• Back home, I use the loo   for one tinkle then settle @ the gobbling :P to enjoy my arvo  tea honey chicken sushi and read all  arvo, since it's only Saturdays that I get to   spend a blessed three hours reading~ Unfortunately, PIG mum interrupts my reading to gleefully FORCE :( me to walk out to dad's deck, where I've gotta let  her gleefully  force mostly poor   Ela to take down the day's washing; argh, I HATES standing practice! >< *sigh*
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 603

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3927 steps (*so will surely have cracked four grand before the day's out XD); secondly, John piper's devotional topic from last night's "God's Grace In Spiritual Gifts"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Become Willing To Change (3)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "By God's Truth" but  fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really  still  owed FORTY-NINE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the  128TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 8:00am (suppose I was tired from plodding more than  7.5 thousand steps yesterday)  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*
• Daddy   Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P when woken by PIG mum's daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. After the 2nd pot :P trip, 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 eye goo before letting the new carer inside @ 9:30am. The roster said Olivia, but some new African carer called Sharon came?
• After I'd had fifteen more minutes, I used the pot :P for one more tinkle, got kitted and then went over to the bathroom and brushed teeth. That done, I drink one full cup of water and sit over the loo proper. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with   Sharon. Breakfast's my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado, one full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and one mug of white tea sweetened with one big teaspoonful of honey. Over and after breakfast I happily   read for thirty minutes first up, reaching pg.  222 @ 10:22am and finishing pg. 225 @ 10:27am.
• While Sharon closes and locks windows I use the loo for one more tinkle, wash and dry Era and then climb into her car's passenger seat. Thanks to Sharon who helps me buckle my seatbelt all day.
• Sharon parks out the front @ Underwood MarketPlace and grabs a trolley for us. Since PIG mum didn't want any groceries from Woolies, we just bought sushi from food court: I got myself a honey chicken one for arvo tea and Sharon got a teriyaki chicken one for lunch; can you believe it?  She's NEVER tried eating sushi before!
• Back home, I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Sharon who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, for lunch Sharon made me a tuna in tomato and onion  toastie with TWO cheese, HEAVILY buttered and using dad's RAISIN toast! I also scull two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with one big spoonful of honey and happily   continue reading, reaching pg. 250 @ 12:11pm.
• Before Sharon tootles me off to play table tennis with dearest dad, I sit over the loo for two more tinkles.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 603c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 7811. That's my best for 2025 thus far! Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I finished and sent around my GCCW homework before continuing to write my own special blog post; right now, I'm typing the five years post after silly Hannah got us t-boned and killed the poor Camry.
• At 8:30pm I had to let PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela on one set of those FitMi exercises for her. Tonight, that took twenty-six minutes.
• Exercises finished, I continued composing my special blog post for another four minutes.
• At 9pm, I walked myself slowly and safely once more to the loo for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: Will Olivia really come mind me 9:30am till 1pm? PIG mum says she's not been appearing for her shifts ... lol, as long as someone comes, I don't mind!
• Looking forward to my three big mugs of white tea (one for breakfast and two after shower) and planning to   read for three hours; willing to forego watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 128TH time in order to achieve that!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  
  

Friday Post 603b

• PIG mum summoned me over for dinner while I was watching the weather report; I replied I'll join once the news has finished.
• At 7pm, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup potato, one siu mai and a little charsiu  bun  from Coles! 'Twas tiny; I hopped it into my mouth in one go; unsure why dad got up me for that?
• Dinner was washed down with one cup of   Chinese tea; 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.
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Friday Post 603

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 7428 steps (sweet; will crack being 3/4 a normal person today! XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Power To Profess Christ'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Become Willing To Change (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Plan? God's People!" Anyways, events for today?

• Aww, what better way than to finish the week with my 4th consecutive awesome sleep? Nature didn't call until 6:35am and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep, since dearest dad would prolly leave for work one hour later!
• Sure enough, exactly one hour later, dearest dad very thoughtfully walks silently along the hallway and unpops the lock into the garage, which awakens me for another pot :P trip. After this second pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• After dearest dad kisses me bye,  retucks me back into bed and leaves for work @ Aunty Yvonne's place, PIG mum immediately thumps around upstairs then comes downstairs to hit me with the eye goo, since Peggy's coming @ 8am.
• Once PIG mum lets Peggy in, she knocks, opens the door and announces good morning. When I wave Appa @ her, she next states fifteen more minutes. Another wave from Appa and she thankfully removes herself; phew, since like Pearl, Appa's not really anatomically capable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
• When Peggy   comes back, I use the pot :P once more for three tinkles, 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's brought two hardboiled eggs to have for breakfast while I'm doing physio.
• My breakfast: one bowl of plain 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*
• Breakfast finished, Peggy slathers sunscreen over my face before accompanying me back to the bathroom then returning to the kitchen 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 Auto (pronounced Alto). Thanks to Peggy who kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt both ways. She tootles me off to UQ for my final NAB session for this block.  Since we arrive @ 9:40am, we get ten minutes each to play with our mobiles before heading upstairs, where I use the loo for one tinkle and then sit in the waiting room and wait for Ashleigh
• Physio today: Standing reaching for Era, standing boxing for both hands (400 punches) and walked one lap of the great court; walked from the NAB! Luckily, I was allowed to sit back down afterwards and got pushed back into the NAB to collect my king-sized Freddo from Jam! Also, phew that I've been released from the next five weeks @ the NAB without a HEP. XD Pity the CEs wouldn't shout a hot drink but @ least I got a king-sized chocolate Freddo from Jem!
• After sitting over the loo for two more tinkles, Peggy tootles me home and I take a nice hot shower -  hairwash  today. Also, thanks to Peggy who helped me rinse out my   hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, PIG mum's made me a salmon in onion and tomato  toastie with only one slice of cheese and one huge mug of some herbal tea for lunch.
• At 1:55pm I sit over the loo once more for two tinkles while PIG mum   signs Peggy off and shooes her away before I get out, but I call out my thanks and byes to her when she leaves.
• Syn arrives immediately after Peggy leaves; once I exit the bathroom I enter my bedroom, kick off my shoes then lie down since for today's session, Syn's assessing Ela and writing a report for Dr.  O'Sullivan! I was very impressed that she recognised Appa and she told me that her husband's a pastor!  Also, tonight they're flying back to Singapore since they've put a down payment for their house!
• After Syn left, I sat down to munch  arvo tea (one yummy banana, two small round crackers and another huge mug of herbal tea) and read the book club novel for one hour. Today I reached pg. 200 @ 2:59pm.
• Reading finished, 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.

• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 127TH time!
• Toms:  roster says Olivia's coming 9:30am till 1pm but since PIG mum says she NEVER comes, wonder who'll turn up?
• Looking forward to my once-weekly honey chicken  arvo tea sushi roll; also hoping to read the Japanese Lover for three hours toms! Willing to skip watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 128TH for that!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl after dinner, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 603

 Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total from Wednesday's actually 2540 (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD). secondly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's 'Making Hay'; thirdly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3776 steps; fourthly, John Piper's devotional topic's 'Energy For Today's To-Dos'; fifthly, TWFT topic's 'Become Willing To Change (1) and sixthly, Our Daily   Bread's devotional topic's 'Loving Jesus Most'. Anyways, let's start off with yesterday's events just briefly first!

• Bought groceries with PIG mum @ Woolies Warrigal Square and came home for lunch with dearest dad~
• Jules took me to play table tennis; it's the first time I've seen her this year! Sadly, no cake today but apparently there's cake for Justin's birthday and he's several years older than Jo; he's turning forty-six/seven/eight!
• Got home and showered - hairwash  today. Also thanks to Jules who helped me rinse out my hair so Era could hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Signed Jules off with my thanks and byes @ 6:30pm, sat over the loo for two tinkles then David game me a lift to Serena's for our first GG in term three!
• Hauled myself up the eight steps and grabbed the most left spot for dinner, PIG mum's leftover tasty fried rice covered with a blanket of boiled lettuce and soup carrot.
• Tumbled down the eight steps, used the loo for one tinkle then sat outside the couch for our opening Bible study from 1st Timothy chapter one.
• Girls and guys split up for prayer; the boys went upstairs. Clever Owen remembered not to whine this time how come the girls never had to move; when he said that last term I replied to sorry Owen, it's coz I'm not good @ walking but I already came up for dinner and back down for Bible study and I don't really wanna hike them again, okay? Owen was like oh, of course, sorry, I'm good @ walking upstairs! XD
• David dropped me home; repeat the usual nightly events and zzz~ The only alas was that I was still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY MINUTES online!!! ><  *sigh*
• Today: yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:45am~
• Grace (turning thirty this December) helped me up and took me to Breathe for physio: 2.039km bike ride, 36 bar-assisted pushups, 36 steps for Erf with left weight shift, 40 v-cable rows for both hands, 36 leg extensions for Elf, 36 leg curls for Elf, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing!
• Got home and took a nice hot shower - hairwash  today. Also   thanks to Grace who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, Grace made me a tuna in tomato and onion with TWO cheese toastie and HEAVILY buttered (on the inside) for lunch with my second big mug of English breakfast tea sweetened with one big spoonful of molasses ...  tastes weird! XD)
• I signed her off with my thanks and byes @ 2pm, just when dearest dad returned home for lunch~
• Took the bowl/cup to the sink, used the loo for one tinkle 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.
• PIG mum's already bugging me to get offline ... staying for two hours, though!
• Toms: Peggy's coming 8am till 2pm and taking me to the last  NAB session ... fingers, toes and all other appendages crossed that some CE will shout a hot drink!!!
• Syn's coming to assess Ela after Peggy leaves since Dr. O'Sullivan wants reports after Botox. Wonder does that mean Dorrie's coming back the week after for cooking/is Syn coming back again next week for exercises?
• Anyways, hopefully bbl tonight,  else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Wednesday Post 603c

 Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 1962 but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR after I get back home from table tennis and GG tonight!! *sigh* Anyways, continuing today's events?

• When I inform PIG mum I've mostly independently kitted myself, she 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.
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Wednesday Post 603b

 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 1811steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'We Work By Grace'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Don't Lose Your Passion For God' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Habits And The Holy Spirit' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY MINUTES online after getting home from GG tonight!!! *sigh* Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:35am   and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since dearest dad usually gets ready to leave @ 7:35am!
• Sure enough, exactly one hour later, dearest dad very thoughtfully walks silently down the hallway and unpops the lock into the garage, which wakes me for another pot :P trip. After the second pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• After dearest dad kisses  me bye, retucks me back into bed and leaves for work @ Aunty Yvonne's place,  Daddy Bear 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 only the tops before leaving me  to get myself mostly independently  kitted, which I comply with  after giving myself fifteen more minutes  first. Actually, thanks to PIG mum who gives Elf a very brief rub, since she'd totaly  ignored my poor foot last night. Don't worry though, Era rubbed  Elf for fifteen minutes~
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good morning! :P

Tuesday Post 602c

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 3818. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• Physio today: Twenty-six transfers from double red mats to plinth with two- and one-point kneeling and lunges for Erf, ten double leg pushups on tower of power for both legs and ten single leg pushups on tower of power for Elf. Best of all, one of the CEs gave me a giant chocolate Freddo frog from Kat and I didn't even need to hike the stairs to her office/cupboard and say thanks!
• After sitting over the loo for two more tinkles Angelica tootled me home and I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Angelica 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 one yummy banana, one huge mug of some herbal tea (I've forgotten   green/peppermint) and hopefully one plain rice cracker/two tiny little flavoured ones. PIG mum for some reason forbade me from reading until I'd finished eating, finished drinking and wiped the table clean for her? No biggie.
• After getting her permission to read, I happily read The Japanese Lover for one hour, reaching pg. 100 @ 4:28pm and reaching pg. 111 @ 4:47pm.
• After using the loo for one tinkle, I popped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the ONE HUNDREDTH AND TWENTY-FIFTH time! All the things I like recording are in the previous post~
• PIG mum got dearest dad to start dinner with her but without me around the sports report/after the weather report; once the news ended, I asked for permission to join. 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, lotsa not-very-yummy bean sprouts, lotsa dearest dad's home-grown hairy melon, two/three chunks of salmon and two/three small slices of surprisingly tender beef.
• 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.
• At 8:30pm I had to let PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela on one set of those FitMi exercises for her. Tonight, that took twenty-four minutes.
• Exercises finished, 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 says she'll help me up and take me grocery shopping somewhere before coming home for lunch with dearest dad.
• Holly's taking me to table tennis @ 1:30pm; fingers crossed for cake!
• She'll  see me home  and showered before leaving @ 6:30pm; ten minutes later I'll use the loo then be seated waiting  for David's pickup @ 6:45pm with  BYO dinner  for the resumption of GG for term three with  Bible study!
• Anyways, hope  everyone has a smashing day  toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday post 602b

 Heylo and good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total   for Tuesday now stands @ 3731 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Restitution' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after I let PIG mum gleefully force poor   Ela on one set of those Fit Mi exercises for her @ 8:30pm and I use the loo for one more tinkle afterwards!! Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• After PIG mum lets Angelica in, Angelica knocks, pushes the door open and cheerfully bids me good morning. When I flop Daddy Bear's hand @ her, she squeals "Hi, bear!" before noticing Appa sitting on   the little table and enthusiastically going "Oh, hi, Appa!!" Daddy Bear's offended and shakes his body @ her; when Angelica goes "Oh, do you want more time?" Daddy Bear's paw signals "Shoo" and she wisely leaves, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
• When Angelica returns, I sit up, bid her good morning and remind her next time to say "fifteen more minutes" else I'm sending you away for fifteen more minutes.  I'm only getting up now since it's already 9:45pm and I hate being in bed again before twelve hours have passed since it feels like I've wasted the entire day. XD
• I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth before using the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era I head out to the gobbling :P table with rousing @ her for not eating breakfast this morning and informing her that she'll buy brunch from either Coles/Pinelands Bakehouse when I buy groceries from Coles for PIG mum and get my once-weekly   crunchy pork bahn mi for lunch.
• For breakfast I slurp one bowl of plain porridge and munch one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread with salt and lightly sprinkled with salt. I also pop all my usual drugs :P and drink 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* Best of all, after the parents have both left, Angelica makes me one big mug of Ceylon tea sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar and cooled down with lotsa milk! Mornings are always better with a warm cuppa under your belt~
• After breakfast, Angelica accompanies me back to the bathroom then returns to the bathroom and washes up my breakfast stuff. Over the Loo. 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 Angelica's car, and she tootles me off to Pinelands Plaza. Thanks to her who helped me buckle my seatbelt all day.
• After finding a disabled carpark outside Coles, Angelica grabs a trolley for us and we buy a box of cheap facial tissues for PIG mum before I head into the Pinelands Bakehouse and buy my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi while Angelica bought herself FOUR sticks of those plump red pork balls! I laughed and told her she'd better gimme two. XD
• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle and then  we sat down to enjoy lunch. At 12:15pm, Angelica tootled me off to  the NAB for  physio with Mandy.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 602

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3503 steps (ha, I'm literally just over 3.5 grand XD); secondly, John piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Ministry - More Important Than Life'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Free From Jealousy' and fourthly, our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The  Prayers Of Jesus' but  fifthly and way most importantly, I'm  really still  owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-FIVE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm  news (Nine's) for the 125TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call   until 6:45am and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep again, since dearest dad usually leaves for work one hour later, @ 7:45am!
• Instead, Daddy Bear and I happily cuddled and snored all the way till just after 9am when nature called again! 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*
• Shortly afterwards, PIG mum began her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs; soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before returning outside and waiting for Angelica's arrival @ 9:30am.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 602e

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3189. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I watched the first half of the Broncos vs. Titans game from recently!
• Once the first half finished, I had to let PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela on one set of those FitMi exercises for her. Actually, she was  so eager that she'd already come over and got the equipment with five minutes left for the first half, but I just ignored her and watched the game till the whistle blew.
• After letting PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela on one set of those  FitMi exercises for her, 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 minding me from  9:30am  till 4pm. She'll help me up, we'll buy groceries from Pinelands Coles and my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from the Vietnamese bakery and come home foor lunch before Angelica takes me to my final NAB session with Mandy @ 1pm.  Afterwards, she'll see me home and showered before leaving @ 4pm.
• Me, I'm looking  forward to reading the book  club novel for another hour and then watching the 6pm news for the 125TH time!
• Anyways, hope everyone has ac smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Tee  hee I've managed FIVE posts today! Yeah, that's possible some Mondays. XD

• Dinner tonight:  rice, lotsa rather icky bean sprouts, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup carrot and two surprisingly tender slices of beef.

Monday Post 602c

 Good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3070 (ha, I'm just over three grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Life-Sustaining Joy'. Anyways, potential final, final events for tonight?

• Funny, Lorraine didn't arrive @ 4pm? Only I heard some sound around the doorbell around 4:06pm and asked PIG mum please to check the door; she'd been standing there all along pressing our temperamental doorbell, which only works every now and again! XD I   taught her next week please bang on the door after ringing the doorbell.  XD
• So a nice hot shower for me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Lorraine who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo  tea was one little banana, one plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea. Happiness was reading for one hour, I FINISHED THE BOOK @ 4:32pm, finished the acknowledgements five minutes later and finished EVERYTHING @ 5:01pm. Thankfully the new book club novel was within reach; I immediately grabbed it and continued reading, reaching page seventy-five @ 5:20pm.
• After reading for one hour, the other happiness was playing Royal Match for twenty-five minutes! Lorraine taught me how to use boosters to pass more levels, and I've already passed three tonight!
• At 5:55pm, I sat over the loo once more for two tinkles then signed Lorraine off with my thanks and byes. She's back again same time next week.
• Happily watched the 6pm news (Seven's) for the 124TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• Hoping to watch the full  match  replay from the Broncos tonight!
• Toms: Angelica's minding me from 9:30am  till 4pm. She'll help me up @ 9:45am,  we'll buy groceries from Pinelands Coles plus my on - bbl!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Monday Post 602b

 Heylo again, good afternoon and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I get too post online before midday. XD Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2777 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'What Moves You To Minister?'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Have A Biblical Perspective' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Digging For Meaning'. Anyways, events for today?

• Aww, my awesome sleep streak ended @ 12:45am this morning when nature called. That's okay; hopefully I can begin another immediately~
• Nature called again after the Sun had risen when dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently along the hallway and unpopped the lock into the garage @ 6:45am; after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since I knew dad would leave for work @ Aunty Yvonne's place exactly one hour later!
• Sure enough, dearest dad came to kiss me goodbye and retuck me into bed before leaving for Aunty Yvonne's place, saying he'd come home for lunch with me. When dad left, I used the pot :P   for another tinkle before Daddy Bear and I happily cuddled and continued snoring. Following the second pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*

• Daddy Bear and I cuddle and snore happily, PIG mum's daily noisy a-THUMPING around waking me for one more pot :P trip. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with the tops before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum returns and finishes 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, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table with PIG mum filming me; apparently Dr. O'Sullivan wants videos when I'm due to see him for more Botox next?
• Breakfast is one bowl of plain porridge mixed with some healthy cereal, one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully 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. Actually, PIG mum films me again; apparently, she somehow managed to chop off my legs for the first recording? XD Over the loo, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car. Thanks to her who somehow amazingly helps me buckle my seatbelt all day! PIG mum tootles me off to Ray's place for some massage and acupuncture; we also listen to her selection of Chinese pop all day, too.
• At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle and then lie down for some massage and acupuncture from him. PIG mum's obviously in her element, yapping unceasingly   @ him; my grateful thanks to Ray who always replied and kept a conversation flowing. She wasn't that good @ controlling her excitement to talk today, repeating one syllable eight times and another six. XD The massage for Elf was slightly uncomfortable @ times but as usual, my favourite was the shoulder CPR~
• After one more tinkle, we said our thanks, byes and cya next Monday same times to Ray.
• PIG mum tootled us off to Calamvale Central and parked underground. We caught the escalator up to ground floor and brought produce from the Mega Discount Fruit Shop.
• Back home I said hello to Bettina and sat down for lunch.
• The three tiny chunks of pork were delicious but unfortunately, I'm a fan neither of pumpkin nor of bean sprouts and those two were plentiful! >< XD
• Lunch was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after using the loo for one tinkle I walked myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Lorraine's minding me from 4-6pm today. Planning to finish the little fantasy novel and get into   the book club novel!
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news (Seven's) for the 124TH time!
• Toms: Angelica's minding me from 9:30am till 4:30pm. Presuming she'll help me up, buy groceries from Pinelands Coles with me, get a crunchy pork  bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse and come home for lunch, leave @ 12:15pm for NAB physio with Mandy (our last together!) and coming home for a shower. It's our last shift together; fingers crossed Angelica will get us iced Vietnamese coffees and bubble teas! <3 XD
• After she leaves, I'm looking forward to reading the book club novel for one hour and then watching the 6pm news for the 125TH time!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 602d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3127. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• Did my weekly file backup then happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 123RD time. All the things I like recording are in today's second post.
• When PIG mum said dinnertime, I used the loo for one more tinkle and dad accompanied me to the backseat of his car, which was sitting in the driveway. Thanks to PIG mum who kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt both ways, since I've got seriously sh*tty night vision.
• Like previous weeks, our once-weekly family dinner out was @ Ho Lin Wah. Only neither set meal suited me tonight: one was black bean sauce sth (yuck) and the other was curry sth (double yuck)! Luckily, dad ordered some omelette with rice, and I got around one bowl of that. I also drank half the set soup, one cup of Chinese tea and just over one mouthful of the warm HK-style milk tea.  Mostly I'm sad that Debbie left without saying bye; I'll never see her again! >< But I'll always remember her as the meat sauce and rice waitress. XD
• 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.
• 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: PIG mum'll help me up, since I've a late morning appointment to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD
• Wonder where we'll buy groceries afterwards from before returning home for lunch with dearest dad? Will ask please to hike each aisle else I'm uncertain I'll pass 1000 steps/
• Waiting for Michelle to get back to me toms and tell me who's coming to mind me from 4-6pm for personal care. If it's Angelica, she'll come 3:30pm till 5:30pm since she's got jiujitsu training @ 6pm.
• Will hopefully watch the 6pm news for the 124TH time!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 602c

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3029 (ha, I'm literally just over three grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Learning Humility'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• Afterwards, I took a n sizzling hot shower - I washed and rinsed my 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 ride-side side rail and watered myself before calling PIG mum back.
• After PIG mum dried my back and the back of the chair for me, I did everything else until my bra strap needed doing up, Elf's AFO needed putting on (but I do all the leg-lifting and knee-bending; PIG mum only helps with the straps), and both laces needed tying.
• After drying the loo seat I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped both feet dry, washed and dried Era 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.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
