 Heylo     again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3279 and secondly, Joni's devotional Spiritual Warfare'. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

•  Once the news ended, I read and shared the She Reads Truth daily devotional and then continued typing my special events blog post.
• At 7:30pm I reminded PIG mum please to lemme know when dinner was ready and she said come now. After a pad change, I walked myself slowly and safely over to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa choko and some pork mince.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Back to blogging now! Hopefully bbl shortly   after one last loo trip with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final   events for tonight plus what's happening Friday else wishing everyone a smashing end to the weekend toms!

Thursday Post 605

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been   hard @ work plodding 2898 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily   devotional topic from last Suffering That Strengthens Faith'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Beware Of Covetousness' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Looking Like Christ'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 8:00am and after one pot :P trip,  I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• When nature calls again one hour later it's actually   PIG mum's daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs that awakes me; when the home phone rings, she's downstairs and rushes into my room to answer it, grousing "It'd better not be Karina cancelling again ..."  But it is! o_O 
• Mother gives me fifteen more minutes and when the replacement carer arrives @ 9:45pm I get up immediately. Turns out Nadine's only one year younger than me, and lives in Inala!
• We get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth, sit over the loo for one tinkle and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Nadine.
• Breakfast's one bowl of plain porridge 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, while Nadine washes up my breakfast stuff, closes and locks windows, I sit once more 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 passenger seat of Nadine's car, she kindly helps me with my seatbelt and then she tootles me off to Calamvale Central for a haircut. Sweet, she parks underground and grabs a trolley for us; Go Cutt's right outside the lift!
• The hairdresser who cut my hair today has done it before! I like going   there   since it's the only time I'm ever instructed to look down; unfortunately, the vacuum cleaner still hasn't been fixed yet! >< The hairdresser's really sweet and super-nice to mother; she tells me that she's got three kids and has her PR here but doesn't  wanna get her citizenship since she doesn't wanna lose her Chinese passport.
• Hair nice and neat, Nadine and I hike all the way to the other end of Calamvale Central and buy a carton of milk from Woolies. Thanks to Nadine who lets me sit on the self-serve checkout machine space where you usually put groceries; unsure why the parents won't lemme? But I chatted with Adelfa the checkout lady manning the self-serve checkouts; she's Filipino and her name means some kinda flower! I told her the two phrases I can   speak; she nodded approvingly when IU said thanks but doubled over roaring with laughter when I very timidly said you're fat? XD
• Back home I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today.  Also thanks to Nadine who helps me rinse my hair out, thus freeing    Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and  rekitted Nadine microwaves the bowl of rice leftovers mother left me for lunch - with added oyster sauce! :D I enjoy my packet of powdered HK-style milk tea and best of all, since Royal Match randomly gives me one hour of free lives, pass the hard level I've been stuck on!
• Before Nadine leaves, I sit over the loo for two more tinkles. She's from Care Agency    Australia~
• Once I've used up the most important hours of   my day online, I'll use the loo for one tinkle, sit @ the gobbling :P table to read for one hour and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo  tea.
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news (Seven's) for the 164TH time!
• Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till like 1:30pm and taking me to Breathe for physio.
• After she sees me showered and leaves, Syn's coming to give Ela one hour of unfunctional exercises.
• Will  prolly  skip reading for one hour since I'm planning to watch the 6pm news for the 165TH time, wolf down dinner and be seated on the couch @ 7:30pm ready to watch the Broncos play!! Although I'll   be happy whoever wins:   the Broncos are my home team, but I've always cheered for South Sydney since I'm born in the CNY of the Rabbit!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 605

 Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Tuesday's actually 4272 (sweet I don't pass 4000 often); secondly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's 'Trials And Temptations'; thirdly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3108   steps (ha, I'm over three grand XD, fourthly, John Piper's daily  devotional topic from last night's "God's Plan For Martyrs'; fifthly, TWFT topic's 'God Still Lives You!' and sixthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'A Friend @ Midnight' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still  owed ONE HOUR and FORTY-DIVE MINUTES online after GG tonight!! Anyways, just briefly, last night's events first!

• After spending my most important two hours of the day online, I headed over to the gobbling :P table for arvo  tea (thanks to PIG mum for some rice) and to read until Lorraine took me to Toastmasters!
• Got the free parking but another tiny turnout; originally there were two guests, but they left right after the warmup! But I scored a little packet of honey soy chicken chips since Denise forgot to call me madam   warmup master, but Lorraine called me Madam Toastmaster! After she'd exited the highway and was driving along Klumpp   road to Maccas, whenever Lorraine stopped @ some red traffic light, I passed her the chip packet and we shared~
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 604

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3851 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Why We Don't Lose Heart'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Need For Connectedness' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Sustained By God' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm  really  still owed ONE HOUR and FORTY-THREE MINUTES online after I get home from Toastmasters with Lorraine!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:45am 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 again for the pot :P   when   PIG mum's mobile went off! Shortly afterwards, PIG mum let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and tell me that dearest dad had just rung her and said he'd arrived safely in Singapore.
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Monday Post 604d

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3654. Righteo,   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 for her. Only the call was interrupted by dearest dad's Whatsapp  videocall; he'd already checked in!
• After finishing those exercises for her, PIG mum helped me find Silence Wang's English song on YouTube; it's actually called 'No One Knows'! Lol, only watching it did I  realise he sang 'I know that your heart is nearly HERE' and not 'I know your heart is nearly HEALED'! XD
• 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: Angelica's minding me 9:30am till 2pm. Personally, I'm hoping it'll be too windy to hike around Rochedale Park, and we can just go buy groceries from Coles Pinelands Plaza and get a crunchy pork  bahn mi (and, and a Vietnamese iced coffee XD) before coming home for lunch. Oh,  what about  the bubble tea?? XD
• Lorraine's taking me  to Toastmasters for our 5th week meeting! If she'll lemme have a milkshake with my Unhappy Meal I'll let her buy chips and a soft serve sundae (no syrup)  for  dinner. XD
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day  toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 604c

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3623 (ha, I'm over 3.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'My Ever-Present Help'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• When Catherine announced her arrival @ precisely   4:45pm, I walked myself slowly   and safely to the front door and let her in, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• So a nice hot shower for me - hairwash  today. Also thanks to Catherine who   helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. While I washed myself, Catherine told me that she's visiting Japan soon! 
• Dried, creamed and rekitted,  arvo tea was one adorable, sweet tiny sugar banana, one plain cracker and one big mug of English breakfast tea with milk but unfortunately   Catherine couldn't find where sneaky PIG mum had hidden the sugar. *sigh*
• While Catherine very gently massaged Ela, I happily watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 133RD time. Eep,  Mt. G ravatt's only  gonna be *five* toms!! >< *wails* XD
• When the ad break before the sports report started, I quickly used the loo for one more tinkle and Catherine sneakily left two minutes early. XD
• One the news ended, the parents and I had one last dinner before Uncle Slam drove dearest dad to the airport! I thought dinner tasted great since 'twas rice with the final leftovers of the chicken dish I'd cooked with Dorrie three days ago; cheesy rice's a winner! XD
• Uncle Slam actually arrived five minutes early to drive dad to the airport, but they spent that time ensuring he'd packed the most important things e.g. ticket, passport and belts for Uncle Fung. Unsure did anybody want else, like health supplements?
• Obviously I walked dearest dad out to the car and smothered him with big hugs and kisses before Uncle Slam drove him to airport, and I returned online after using the loo for one more tinkle.
• At 8:20pm I   walked myself once slowly and safely to   the loo for one tinkle and back, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• At 8:20pm, I walked myself once more slowly  and safely to the  loo  for one tinkle and back,  again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Monday Post 604b

 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 2857 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "If You Don't Fight Lust; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'When You Feel Blah' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'To See And To Serve'. Anyways, events for today?

• Nature called once around 1:30am, following another pot :P trip   after the Sun had risen, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P once more 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 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.
• When I call out and tell PIG mum   I've finished mostly independently kitting myself, she comes back to finish with only Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Eww, the phlegm I coughed up yesterday was yellow but this morning it's GREEN, gross! ><" 
• Teeth brushed, 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 cross warmed healthy cereal with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado   and hopefully very lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After finishing 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!
• Since PIG mum's still upstairs when I'm exiting the bathroom, I first 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. There, I quickly publish today's first post. XD
• When PIG mum's finally ready, I climb into the backseat of her car. Amazingly, she HELPS me buckle my seatbelt all day! We also listen to her Chinese pop collection all day too. First stop:  Ray's for some massage and acupuncture.
• At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle and then lie down for some massage and acupuncture. PIG mum's in her element yapping unceasingly @ Ray; today she repeated two/three different words SIX times! XD Elf's calf hurt during the massage but for the first time, Elf's thigh felt how comfortable the massage was! Plus yay for shoulder CPR~
• After another tinkle, PIG mum tootled me back to Warrigal Square Woolies and we bought groceries only we nearly couldn't find a park and not only that, BUT PIG mum was ALSO unable to withdraw $200 from the self-serve check out!
• Back home, dad had lunch   ready for us: TASTY two-minute noodles with lotsa lettuce, two/three small slices of pork and a MASSIVE slice of fried egg! 
• Lunch was washed down with one cup of herbal tea (green?) after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly   and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Lorraine was gonna mind me from 4-6pm but suddenly CODA rang and said Catherine's coming 4:45pm till 6:45pm instead! Suppose that   cancels out reading for one hour, but hopefully I   can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 133RD time!
• Toms: Angelica's minding me from 9:30am till like 1:30pm; presuming we'll buy groceries from Coles Pinelands plus get my once-weekly crunchy pork  bahn mi. PIG mum was suggesting hike around Underwood Park but I'm not interested if it's windy! Mostly I'm just hoping Angelica will get Vietnamese iced coffee and bubble tea for us: she's introduced me to chocolate pearl milk tea with COOKIE, OMG!! XD
• Looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online and must remind PIG mum to please gimme some RICE for   arvo  since I'm only getting an UnHappy Meal with an orange juice for dinner toms night!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl after Catherine leaves, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's, read by Melissa Downes) for the 133RD time: Croucher,  Twomey, Bavas, Starr, Laming, Netanyahu, Godfrey, Chaney, SinBrumme, Albanese, Albanese (heard), Von Der Leyen, Coatsworth, Santomartino, Tinkin, Schwarzenegger, Trump, Crouxher, Shea,  Kearsley, Tino (first name; I can't spell his surname!

Sunday Post 604c

 Good evening again and one greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total  for Sunday now stands @ 3626.  Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• Afterwards, I happily played Royal Match and chatted with Joanne.
• When PIG mum tumbled down from  pigland around 5:10pm and ordered I   shower, I walked myself slowly and safely into   the bathroom, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• So a nice hot shower for me -   I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was all done after only 10% but happily leaned fully against the right-side siderail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling PIG mum back.
• After I'd tapped the nice hot water off and she'd dried the back of the chair for me, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until my bra strap needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
• After I   dried the loo seat I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped both feet dry, washed and dried Era then walked myself slowly   and safely online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine’s,  read by Mia Glover) for the 132^ND time: Jiselle (first name), Manning, Gibson, Todhunter, Crisafulli, Farmer, Gerber, Croucher, Gillespie,  Littleproud, Netanyahu (heard), Albanese, Everett, Cobbo, Cook, Greer, Butler, Burdi, Soucie, Reagan (heard), Sinclair, Trump, Epstein (heard), Titmus,  Ledecky (heard),Schmidt, Kelly,Djodan, Keir (first  name), Starmer, Meyer, Marr, Sainsbury, Oliver, Thompson, Cameron  (heard),Eldridge, Kelly, Jakob (first  name), Funk, Groves,Piastri,  Norris, Verstappen  (heard), Zampa, Maxwell, Tevita (first name, heard), Bailey,Schwarzenecker,  Margot (first  name, Robbie (heard),Tatola (heard), Wighton (heard) and Cleary. Bronte Gildea read the sports report and Ebony Cavallaro read the weather report from New Farm. Brisbane was 15-21 today. Brisbane toms: 10-21. Mt. Gravatt toms: 8-20.  Sunrise: 6:31am Sunset 5:18pm BTW during some ad break I put the puffer vest since 'twas getting cold.

• Did my weekly file backup and when PIG mum said dinnertime, used the loo for one tinkle then   climbed into the backseat of the   car. Thanks to    PIG mum who helped me buckle my seatbelt tonight since I've got seriously sh*tty night vision, amongst other disabilities. *sigh*

• We had our last dinner from Ho Lin Wah until dearest dad goes back to HK toms night and returns since PIG mum won't/can't drive @ night. I had about one bowl of the B meal (beef with mushroom sauce in rice), about half a bowl of the seafood in egg sauce with ho fan, one slice of the yummy shallot pancake and drank one cup of Chinese tea, half the set soup and just over one mouthful of the HK-style milk tea.

• Back home I walked myself slowly and safely back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• At 9pm I walked myself 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 got a late morning appointment to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Bet she's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD

• PIG mum says she'll take me grocery shopping afterwards, to have passed 1000 before arriving home for lunch with dearest dad.

• Hopefully Michelle'll  will  lemme know toms who's minding me  4-6pm since the roster still says TBA. 

• Looking forward to  reading for one hour and watching the 6pm  news bulletin  for the 133RD time!

• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing  day  toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 604b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3551 (ha, I'm just over 3.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "Salvation's Dirty Work". Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• Once I'd enjoyed my most important two hours of the day online, I used the loo for one tinkle and then sat down @ the gobbling :P table to read for one hour and munch the  arvo tea PIG mum kindly left me before heading upstairs for her long arvo  nap.
• Today I reached page seventy-five @ exactly 3:20pm and reached pg. 100 @ 4:16pm. Arvo   tea was one plain cracker, one adorable tiny sugar banana and one huge mug of herbal (green/peppermint) tea.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 604

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2285 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'What It Means To Love Evil'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Are You In A Stress Mess?' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Test Of Our Faith'.  Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night!  Nature had already called once before midnight but then I'd slept soundly until   PIG mum began her usual noisy daily a-THUMPING around and woke me! Actually, I   think I was using the pot :P when she let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me 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. While  complying, 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 comes back to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom   and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era 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 lightly spread with avocado and for some reason the PLATE (not the bread) sprinkled very lightly with salt (no probs; I just lick the plate clean   after I've finished eating XD), all my usual drugs: p and one full mug of water.  Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the loo, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my seatbelt (what I do all day).  PIG mum tootles us off to   church, parking outside the service hall. I hike up the ramp, use the disabled loo once (the seat was up, but   so was the lid and I couldn't be bothered checking were any cubicles in the normal ladies' loo with both lid up   and seat down), washed and dried both hands then grabbed my usual   spot for service.

• Yay I get to stay seated for worship today~ I sing everything I knew plus the harmony for all four songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*

• Less than thirty minutes so just super-briefly:

• Speaker was Peter Pie; his sermon was the 2nd from his How to A Christian series and there was communion afterwards~ Aunty May was a sweetheart, whispering should I get the sacraments for you but I whispered back no thanks; not baptised yet.

• Had lunch with dad @ Hungry Jacks: a cheeseburger, small orange juice and twelve chips.

• Looking forward to our once-weekly family dinner out; our last together before dearest dad goes back to   HK for one month!

• Toms:   presumably seeing Ray for some acupuncture and massage, grocery shopping with PIG mum    then coming back home for lunch with dearest dad.

• Have emailed Michelle asking her for this week's TBAs plus the roster for August; next month   arrives Friday!

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

Saturday Post 604c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2757. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• 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.  Actually, after I'd closed the door and sat down over the loo seat, the hand towel fell off the rung! I called out to PIG mum asking will you please pick it back up for me, but she rudely replied do it yourself and flounced off! Lol, like I told the UQ student, I have zero confidence picking off sth from the floor; in this instance, I sat down on the footstool inside the bathroom to pick up the towel and hang it back onto the rack before returning online.
• 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 PIG mum but definitely looking forward to our once-weekly family dinner out together since it's the last one before dad returns to HK next Monday!
• Anyways,  looking forward to  seeing everyone @  church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 604b

 Heylo    again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total   for Saturday now stands @ 2534 (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Glory'. Righteo,   continuing tonight's events?

• At 1:45pm I sit over the loo once more for two tinkles and then climb back into Sharon's passenger seat and she tootles me off to church to play table tennis with dearest dad~
•  After hiking up   the ramp, I lean against the wall and send Sharon inside to tell dad we've arrived and please unlock the door for me; once inside dad bids me sit @ the table tennis table while he immediately signs Sharon off and shooes  her away.  Sharon can't support me next Saturday but apparently, she's taking me to some table tennis comp Sunday.
• Today, I play with dearest dad and Uncle Simon, who   tells me I've got a natural   backhand!
• Back home, I use the loo for one tinkle and then sit to continue reading the Red Queen, since it's only Saturday that I can spend a blessed three hours reading~ Today I reach pg. fifty    @ 3:04pm   and reach page seventy-five @ 3:59. PIG mum pours me one huge mug of tea, and I happily  munch my honey chicken sushi roll.
• After using the loo for 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.
• Happily watched the 6pn news bulletin (Nine's) for the 131ST time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post. Dad got home @ 6:45pm and I thought I'd finally get   to start dinner with him after he showered but turns out he'd showered, and PIG mum immediately got him to start dinner without me. *sigh*
• Permission given to join once the news ended, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: rice with leftover food that I'd cooked with Dorrie yesterday.
• Dinner was washed down with one cup   of water, after taking the cup over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• When nature randomly called @ 7:55pm I walked myself slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle and back, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• 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 Sunday,  else looking forward to  seeing  everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  

  
  

Saturday Post 604

 Good afternoon! Firstly, my final, final plodding total from last night's actually 3000 (it was actually 2994 but that number pissed me off so much I stood and turned six steps to reach exactly 3000 XD but the poor Broncos lost hence not blogging about last night ><  XD; secondly, today I've been  hard   @ work plodding 2376 steps (so will have hopefully  reached 2500 before tonight's end); thirdly, John  Piper's daily  devotional topic  from last night's "Satan's Strategy And Your Defense"; fourthly, TWFT topic's "When God  Asks You To Give"; fifthly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's 'Vengeance' and sixthly,  Our  Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God, Our Safe Place" but seventhly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY-NINE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm  news bulletin (Nine's) for the 131ST time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 8am 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 noisy a-THUMPING upstairs. After relieving myself, 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*
• When PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo, poor Elf begs her for a brief rub since PIG mum totally ignored her last night. Actually, I might remember another dream soon; when PIG mum woke me, I was having a dream about some baby bird!
• After PIG mum lets Sharon inside @ 9:30am, she instructs Sharon to gimme fifteen more minutes. Sharon knocks, opens the door and calls out good morning. When Daddy Bear flops his paw @ her, she asks fifteen more minutes, okay? Daddy Bear flops his paw @ her again and she thankfully removes herself, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum.  XD
• When Sharon 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 cup of water, I sit over the loo proper. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 

• After washing and drying Era, Sharon accompanies out to the gobbling :P table.
• For breakfast I enjoy my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast on a very thin bed of avocado, drink one full mug of water, pop all my usual drugs :P and enjoy my first mug of white tea sweetened with one big spoonful of honey. I also happily read for thirty minutes first up, reaching pg. 444 @ exactly 10:40am, and reaching pg. 450 @ 10:48am.
• While Sharon closed and locked windows, I used the loo for one more tinkle and then climbed into the passenger seat of her car. Sharon tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace, parks around the side and grabs a trolley for us. I joke that should she get herself a bubble tea please get me one too and Sharon asks what's bubble tea? OMG! I told her she MUST try one and when she gets one, please get me one too! XD
• For the 2nd consecutive week, PIG mum doesn't want any groceries from Woolies and we only get me the honey chicken sushi roll for arvo tea?
• Back home I take 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, Sharon immediately makes me another mug of white tea sweetened with one big spoonful of honey, which I immediately drain totally and then ask for one more, which I happily savour~ For lunch, Sharon makes me a tuna in tomato and onion toastie with TWO cheese using dad's RAISIN toast! :D
• PIG mum comes home and chucks a cow @ me for spilling tea? I'd started reading The Horse Whisperer that Angelica had lent me; instead, she tosses me Philippa Gregory's The Red Queen  and I happily start reading that again~
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

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.
• Have asked PIG mum to please gimme dinner toms after I watch the 6pm news for the 130TH time since the Broncos are playing the Eels ttoms night!
• 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*
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

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.  ^^

Wednesday Post 604

 Good morning! :P

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*

• After breakfast, Angelica accompanies me back to the bathroom before 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 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. ^^

Monday Post 603c

 Good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3091. Ha, I'm just over three grand.  XD Anyways, potential final, final events for tonight?

• 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. ^^
  P.S.

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!

 Good morning! :P

Sunday Post 603

 Good afternoon! 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 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.

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. ^^
