 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 4489 (so will have surely cracked 4.5 grand before the night's out XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Christian, What Do You Believe?' Righteo, continuing today's events?

  • When Lorraine announced her arrival @ precisely 4pm, 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 Lorraine who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was one yummy little plate of sliced strawberries and one little mug of peach tea. Unsure why PIG mum keeps putting herbal teabags into the white tea with two sugars mug, but I just get the carer to switch mugs for me.
  • Happily read for one hour; I FINISHED ENDER'S GAME @ 4:57PM!! The Acknowledgements were finished two minutes later and EVERYTHING was finished @ exactly 6pm!

  • Once the 6pm news ended, I called out was dinner ready yet? When PIG mum replies yes; come," I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa home-grown beans from Aunty Jo, lotsa soup carrot and a little delicious eggy meat brisket.
  • 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.

Monday Post 511

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've   been hard @ work plodding 4037 steps (sweet I'm already just over four grand; that doesn't happen very often! XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Ammunition Against Anxiety' thirdly, TWFT topic's "God's Pushing You Outta Your Comfort Zone' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Recognizing Jesus'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:45 and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep, since dad would leave for sth one hour later!
  • Sure enough, @ 7:45am dearest dad comes to kiss me goodbye and leave for a morning's work @ Uncle Eddy's place. I use the pot :P again and then 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 just before noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon,  she's let   herself into my bedroom to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly  with absolutely nothing bar  the bra strap and the tee (i.e. she just lays  the tee out  for me, but  doesn't give any help   whatsoever afterwards) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I    comply  with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
  • PIG mum returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Breakfast is one bowl of delicious Special K with sliced strawberries over the top and one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast that I cut and spread the avocado over myself before PIG mum oddly very lightly sprinkled the PLATE (not the toast) with salt (no problems, I'll just lick the plate clean afterwards XD), all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • After 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 me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage but since he's not arrived yet, unlocks the gate wanders inside and asks his wife Jennifer for permission for us to enter first. After I use the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and come out, Ray's just arrived: good timing!
  • I lie down to receive some massage and acupuncture from Ray. PIG mum's in her element yapping unceasingly @ Ray; my grateful thanks to him who always replied and kept a conversation flowing. 
  • After one more tinkle, PIG mum tootled us back to Warrigal Square and I hiked every aisle @ Woolies while buying a few items. Like dad, mother won't lemme sit on the self-serve checkout machine like the carer will rest the legs. *sigh*
  • Back home, I bid Bettina hello and then sat down to a lunch of rice leftovers with mostly boiled vegetables and like one strip of meat, plus two/three chunks of salmon.
  • Lunch was washed down with one cup of delicious iron goddess Chinese tea; after taking the cup over to the sink, I used the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era then walked myself slowly   and safely online, always 
  • Lorraine's minding me from 4-6pm; will haveta open the door for her since PIG mum's already in pigland  upstairs while dad's asleep on the sofa.
  • Surely I'll FINALLY finish reading Ender's Game!
  • Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 183RD time!
  • Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm and taking me to   Breathe for physio. Presume we'll buy groceries afterwards and get my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from Pinelands Bakehouse.
  • Looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online but must remember to PIG mum to gimme some RICE for arvo tea before Lorraine takes me to Toastmasters! It'll be another tiny attendance; Caitlin's already said he can't come. XD
  • Not really looking forward to getting an UnHappy Meal for dinner but will let Lorraine get her plain sundae if she's been watching her food intake since I saw her last~
  • Anyways, hopefully  bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,Em. ^^

    rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
    P.S.

Sunday Post 511c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! With a final, final plodding total of 2749 lemme just cover final, final events for tonight?

  • Today I finished pg. 275 @ exactly 4pm and reached pg. 300 @ 4:53pm! Actually, I was hoping to read for one hour and finish the book but after reading for seventy minutes I still hadn't finished the book, but PIG mum said if you're not gonna shower now you'll run outta time to watch the news!
  • 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 done after only 9% but happily leaned fully against the side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling PIG mum back.
  • Once PIG mum dried the back of the chair for me, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until my bra strap needed clipping, 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 back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 182ND time. All the things I like recording are in today's first post.
  • Less then fifteen minutes left, so just briefly: 
  • Had our once-weekly family dinner @ Ho Lin Wah.
  • Came home and returned online.
  • Used loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm.
  • 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 ceaselessly @ him. XD
  • She's said she'll take me grocery shopping and aisle walking afterwards, so I'm expecting to have passed 1000 steps before getting home.
  • Lorraine's minding me from  4-6pm. Surely, I'll FINALLY finish Ender's Game!!
  • Looking forward to watching the  6pm news for the 183RD time~
  • Anyways,  hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 Heylo again and good evening!  Firstly, I'm logging in Sunday's total @ 2749 (that was last Sunday's total since I've done the same thing today; unsure why Wally's not giving me many steps today?) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Great And Terrible Day Of The Lord'. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

  • Once I'd used up the most important two hours oof my day online, I used the loo for one tinkle and then sat down to finish reading Ender's Game! PIG mum passed me some arvo tea: some fruit, one plain   cracker and one huge mug of green tea.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^

Saturday Post 511c

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3827. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

  • While I use the loo for one more tinkle, Sharon closes and locks windows.
  • After I climb into her car's passenger seat, Sharon tootles me off to Underwood MarketPlace, parking around the side and grabbing a trolley for us. Thanks to her who kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt all day.
  • First, we buy groceries from Wooolies (See? Sharon lemme sit on the self-serve checkout and rest the legs while she scanned the groceries) and then I get my honey chicken sushi   while Sharon gets herself a teriyaki chicken one.
  • Back home, I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Sharon who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was one delicious bowl of the tuna bake I cooked with Dorrie yesterday plus two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of sugar. Over lunch I happily continue reading last week's Sunday Mail.
  • After two more tinkles Sharon tootles me off to church to play table tennis with dearest dad~ Once seated I sign her off with my thanks and byes; she's back next fortnight.
  • Today I play thrice with dearest dad and once with Uncle Simon~ Uncle Simon recommended I YouTube WTT table tennis; will try that toms! Silly dad was going sart(in Canto: kill!) but I   learnt to yell backpack (in Canto:  bash?) XD
  • Back home, I use the loo for one tinkle then sit down to enjoy my delicious honey chicken sushi roll with one huge mug of herbal tea and happily read last week's Sunday Mail! Unsure did I miss flipping some pages, but I   didn't find the crossword?
  • Used the loo for one tinkle, plopped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 181ST time. All the things I like recording are in today's first post.
  • When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

  • Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa dearest dad's home-grown beans,  lotsa yummy wombok, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup carrot, one tasteless slice of soup meat and one chunk of barramundi.
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink and using the loo for one more tinkle, I walk myself slowly and safely online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • At 9pm, I walk myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  •  Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. Since dad will prolly  demand I have lunch with him @ Hungry Jack's, that'll mark ONE FULL WEEK I've gone without a proper meal out. *sigh*
  • But he'd better take us out for  dinner toms night and gimme ONE bowl  of rice!!
  • Anyways, looking forward too seeing everyone @  church  toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 511b

 Heylo  and good evening again! Take two: firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3728 (See? Told you I'd crack 3.5 grand but sorry I'll not reach four grand tonight XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Our Unspeakable Privilege'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Reasons To Be Thankful (1)'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Sweetness Of Scripture' and fifthly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Messiah Manifesto' but  sixthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after I visit the loo once more @ 9pm!! Meaning I'll leave the speakerphone on while having my once-weekly phone chat with Aunty Lai and hope she's long-winded. XD Anyways, events for today?

  • Aww, I was hoping for an awesome sleep last night since I got offline ten minutes later than ordered since I was rushing to post my Birthday Celebrations for 2025 post, but idiot nature called @ 12:45am! >< Never mind, 'twas still a sound sleep~
  • I used the pot :P again after the Sun's rising, following which 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, nature calling again shortly after 9am, just before 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 give poor Elf a very brief rub since she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night before going back outside and awaiting Sharon's arrival.  I also 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*

Friday Post 511

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4076 steps (sweet I'm just over four grand; that doesn't happen very often!); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Only True Freedom'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Don't Be Double Minded' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Change Christ Brings' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTEEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 181ST time!! Anyways, events for today?

  •  Nature  called once @ 12:45am;  following the Sun's rising and 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*
  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, nature calling again once more around 9am just before PIG mum begins her usual daily a-THUMPING around upstairs.  Soon, she's let herself into my room before going back outside and awaiting Asha's arrival.
  • After PIG mum lets Asha inside, Asha knocks, opens the door and softly calls good morning. When Daddy Bear flops a paw @ her, she asks "Fifteen more minutes?" Another paw flop from Daddy Bear and she wisely removes herself, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
  • Asha actually returns twenty seconds too early but luckily doesn't try get me up until after I've counted down the twenty more seconds.  XD I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then head over to the bathroom and brush teeth, while Asha empties the pot :P for me.
  • After sitting over the loo for one tinkle, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Asha, who tells me that she had Weet-Bix for breakfast.
  • I had two Weetbix - dry (without honey) - for breakfast too! I also munched one slice of toast lightly spread with avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt (Asha initially forgot but I said don't worry, we're even; my Friday-itis is that I thought her name was Sharon XD), popped 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* Also thanks to PIG mum who turned Sunrise on for my viewing pleasure.
  • After breakfast, Asha covers my face and hands with sunscreen before walking behind me back to the bathroom then returning to the kitchen and washing up the breakfast dishes. 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 Asha's car and she tootles me off to the NAB for physio with Lachlan. We arrive so early I've twenty-five minutes to happily play mobile games before heading up @ 9:50am!
  • After using the normal loo (the disabled was occupied) for one tinkle, I head into the gym.
  • Physio today with Lachlan for two hours:  Two 10m walk tests, five TUG tests, both legs push against som-ometer, stepping for both legs at parallel bars, ten laps long hallway walking and Two laps uneven surface walking.
  • After sitting over the loo for two tinkles, Asha tootles me home. Dad didn't pick up when I rang but PIG mum did, saying we're just on Alan  Cresc.!
  • Took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Asha who helped me rinse out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted lunch was two more of the DELICIOUS dumplings Aunty Jenny (David's mum) made for dad one pork bun from dad's mate and maybe some rice with lotsa vegetables. At 1:30pm I signed Asha off with my thanks and byes; we also said Merry Christmas since I'm unsure when she'll look after me again. XD
  • At 2/2pm Dorrie came and cooked a tuna pasta bake with me! See Facebook for photos~
  • After she left, I enjoyed one bowl for arvo tea and happily read Ender's Game for one hour; today I reached pg. 250 @ 4:29pm.
  • After one more tinkle, I plopped online.
  • Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 181ST time!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Thursday Post 511d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2671. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

Thursday Post 511c

 Good evening again!
 Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2558 (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Crazy Moments'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

  • When   dad tried summoning me over for dinner @ 6:48pm I replied I'm still watching the news; if you can't wait, please start dinner first and I'll join once the news has finished.
  • Once the news ended, I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Aww, dad waited for me after all! *feels loved* Also makes me suspicious that PIG mum tried to get him to eat dinner with her first ...
  • Dinner tonight:  rice,  lotsa  some green vegetable I've since forgotten, lotsa icky pumpkin, lotsa sweet potato, one tiny tasteless slice of soup meat (so tasteless I    couldn't tell was it beef/pork XD) and two DELICIOUS dumplings David's mum gave dad! PIG mum for some reason chucked a cow @ me for eating one dumpling in one go and demanded I eat the other dumpling in three bites?  No biggie~
  • 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. 
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl  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 their week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2364. Unsure will I have reached 2.5 grand before the night ends ... Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

  • Once I'd used up the most important two hours of my day, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat @ the gobbling :P table to read Ender's Game for one hour and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea.
  • PIG mum eventually gave me one plain cracker; some fruit and one huge mug of green tea. When I read Ender's Game for one hour, I forgot what time I reached pg. 222 but reached pg. 225 @ 4:23pm.
  • One more tinkle for me before returning online; dearest dad's just returned home~
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner tonight, else hope everyone has a smashing end to the week toms!

Thursday Post 511

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2119 steps (ha, I'm over two grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic's from last night's "Worship In A Lightning Storm"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Acknowledge Your Mistakes And Shortcomings' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Of Megalodons' and Leviathans'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 2nd consecutive 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 cuddled and snored, me waking up for another pot :P trip when dearest dad came to kiss me bye and retuck  me  back into bed before going to like David's mum's place for work.
  •  Daddy Bear and I cuddled and happily continued snoring, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly after 9am just before noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside to await Karina's arrival @ 9:30am.
  • After PIG mum opens the door for Karina @ 9:30am, Karina knocks, pushes open my bedroom door and cheerfully bids me good morning, adding "hitting the snooze button for fifteen more minutes ..." Daddy Bear flops his paw @ her and she wisely removes herself, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
  • Once Karina comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle and we get me kitted before I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who's already squirted some toothpaste for me.
  • Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle then head out to the gobbling :P table with Karina, rousing   @ her for AGAIN skipping breakfast and informing her that she'd buy herself some (and hopefully morning tea for me) when we bought groceries @ Coles. XD
  • For breakfast, I enjoy one delicious bowl of Special K cereal (I'm a big fan of flaky things) with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast 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* Mostly I'm just grumpy since horrid PIG mum won't lemme  grab lunch from Ho Lin Wah with Karina! ><
  • After breakfast, Karina accompanies me back to the bathroom before going back to the kitchen and washing up the breakfast dishes. Over the loo proper, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
  • After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Karina's car. Thanks to her who kindly helps me with my seatbelt both ways and she tootles us off to  Rochedale Coles to buy groceries for the cooking I'm doing with Dorrie toms arvo!
  • Aww, but isn't Karina a sweetheart? After parking outside Coles and grabbing a trolley for us, instead of buying groceries first   she takes me to the sushi place and buys herself some rice paper rolls for breakfast and get me a crispy chicken sushi roll for morning tea!
  • While I buy ingredients for the cooking session with Dorrie toms (PIG mum's decided we're making a tuna bake) Karina bought her own groceries. Best of all, she lemme sit on the  self-serve checkout machine while she scanned our groceries like Peggy does! Wonder why the parents won't lemme rest my legs?
  • Back home I take a nice hot   shower -  hairwash today. Also thanks to Karina who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and  rekitted lunch was one bowl of tasteless rice leftovers with one packet of powdered HK-style milk tea.
  • At 1:25pm I sat over the loo for two more tinkles then signed Karina off with my thanks and byes. She's back next Thursday @ 8am and taking me to GCCW!
  • Once I've used up the most important two   hours of my day I'll use the loo for one tinkle, sit to read Ender's Game for one hour and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea. She's already ordered I'm not to call her and disturb her beauty sleep. XD
  • Looking forward to watching the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 180TH time!
  • Toms: Asha's coming @ 8am and taking me for two hours of physio @ the NAB with Lachlan.
  • She'll see me home and showered before leaving @ 2pm and then Dorrie's coming and we're making a tuna bake together! Hopefully she'll lemme stack on the cheese~ XD
  • Hoping to read Ender's Game for another hour while enjoying some tuna bake for arvo tea (need rice for dinner).  
  • Also hoping to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 181ST time!
  • Anyways, hopefully  bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

  • After publishing the previous post, I started reading the She Reads Truth daily devotional

Wednesday Post 511c

 Good evening again! Em's new plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 4069 (sweet, second consecutive day I've passed four grand). XD Anyways, continuing events for tonight?

  • For the first time in like MONTHS, there was CAKE! :D Renee was naughty, telling everyone, "Oh, Em doesn't want cake. She doesn't like cake." I immediately loudly screeched "WHAT?!" and when everyone burst into laughter, pouted @ Renee and informed her that she'd better gimme seconds she was being mean! XD Once I finished my little piece of white chocolate mud cake, I loudly announced, "Renne, I'm waiting for seconds." She replied, "I'm not sure who's handing them out and I screeched @ her "Then you better find out who is!" Phew, just then another coach came bearing chocolate mud cake. XD
  • After one loo trip, Jules tootled me home. Lol, I thought she'd lemme eat arvo tea in the car like how all the other carers do, but she refused, saying she didn't want me to dirty the car! Fine; after getting home, I climbed outta her car, sat on the long chair outside the garage and requested my arvo  tea again but this time she was like aren't you  gonna head inside and shower first?  No, I replied patiently. "If I bring arvo tea back, mother won't lemme eat it after showering coz she'll say it's too close to dinner. Unsure why you wouldn't lemme eat it when you were driving me home, but you said I could eat it once I got home and I'm home now, so please give it to me." Phew, she did!
  • Took my nice hot quickest shower -  hairwash today. Also thanks to Jules who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, 2nd arvo tea was some fruit and another mug of herbal tea.  Jules cleaned the bathroom then tried out the massage chair; she liked it so much she immediately left a message and when someone rang her back, immediately ordered one!
  • At 6:30pm Julz left; after the news ended @ 7pm 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.
  • When the parents summons me to dinner @ 7:24pm, I use the loo for one tinkle then walk myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Dinner tonight: the not-as-yummy rice (mixing white rice with red rice's apparently healthier) with lotsa yummy wombok, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup potato, one tiny slice of tasteless soup meat and three more little chunks of the delicious chicken that Aunty Rose recently made for us.
  • 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.
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl after one last loo  trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms, else wishing everyone a smashing Thursday  ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 510

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4658 steps (sweet I'm already over 4,5 grand; that doesn't happen too often! XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Only Enduring Happiness'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Get On The Bus!'  and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Overcoming Evil With Good'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Aww, my awesome sleep streak ended this morning around 12:45am when nature suddenly called! Never mind, hopefully I'll start another one right away~   
  • When nature called again following the Sun's rising, 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*
  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, 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 before returning outside and awaiting Peggy's arrival @ 9am.
  • After PIG mum lets Peggy in, Peggy knocks, pushes open the door and announces good morning. When I flop Daddy Bear's paw @ her, she next announces fifteen more minutes. Another paw flop and she thankfully removes herself, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
  • When Peggy returns, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who's squirted some toothpaste for me. Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then   walked 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 delicious bowl of flaky Special K topped with sliced strawberry and 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.

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 accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning to  the kitchen and washing up the breakfast dishes. Over the toilet, 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) and Peggy tootles me off to Breathe for physio. Thanks to Peggy who helps me buckle my seatbelt all day although I'm unsure why she parks in the disabled car park @ the very end of the complex, since you're allowed to park after the first three parks! Doesn't matter~
  • Since we arrived quite early @ Breathe, Peggy and I just played with our mobiles for nearly ten minutes before heading inside @ 10:50pm.
  • Aww, Connor met me @ the front door! I told him I'd show him my medal once I sat down, but after I sat, Shirley demanded to hear about and see it first. XD
  • Physio today: 2.425km bike ride, five minutes treadmill walking at 2.7km/hr, 40 bar-assisted push-ups, 40 steps for Erf. 40 v-bar cable rows for both, 40 leg extensions for, 40 leg curls for Elf, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing! After I told Winnie I was aiming to walk the 5km Bridge To Brisbane event next year, she had me using the treadmill and decided I   could walk comfortably @ 2.7km/hr but would need to increase my speed to like 4.5km/hr? Wonder how I can learn to walk faster?
  • After one loo trip (CZ258 unlocks the female toilets but 'twas already unlocked when I arrived), Peggy tootled us off to Pinelands Plaza to buy groceries from Coles and get my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi.
  • At Coles, I showed off my medal   to two of the staff that are always there (Peter and that short female checkout chic) and also Aunty Nancy @ Pinelands Bakehouse! She's very observant: she spotted my medal before I could show it to her!
  • Back home, I took my quickest 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 my delicious crunchy pork bahn mi and one big mug of delicious Earl grey tea with one milk and one spoonful of syrup; yay, Peggy found where sneaky PIG mum had hid it! XD
  • At 2pm I signed Peggy off with my thanks and byes, but PIG mum kept yapping @ her until 2:03pm before finally letting her leave.  XD
  • Then I got ONE HOUR of free lives playing Royal Match/the game Lorraine introduced me to but I simply can't pass level   199! >< XD
  • Used loo for one tinkle then plopped online.
  • Once I've used up the most important two hours of the day I'll use the loo for one tinkle, sit @ the gobbling :P table and read till 5:50pm before using the loo for one more tinkle than online and watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 178TH time!
  • Toms:  PIG mum says she'll me up and take me for walkies somewhere before coming home for lunch, since Tracey's coming @ 1pm and taking me to table tennis and apparently, there's FINALLY gonna be cake!! :D
  • She'll see me home and showered before leaving @ 6:30pm; after watching the 6pm news for the 179TH time I'll not need to wolf down dinner since it's GG semester break right now!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl, else hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

Monday Post 510b

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3586 steps (ha, I'm just over 3.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'God Will Supply All Your Needs'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Bible Helps Us To Overcome Temptation (5) and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Making Disciples For Christ' but  fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really  still owed SIX MINUTES online after Angelica minds me from  3:30pm till 5:30pm!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Woo hoo,  8th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:45pm 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 for one more pot :P trip when 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 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.
  • When I inform PIG mum that I've mostly independently kitted myself, she comes back and finishes with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces.  That done, 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 delicious Special K (I'm a big fan of flaky stuff, for some reason)  with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and for some reason the PLATE (not the bread) very lightly sprinkled with  salt (no problems; I just lick the plate clean afterwards XD), all my usual drufs :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, 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. Booting the computer up, I quickly publish today's first post. XD
  • When PIG mum's ready, I climb into the car and buckle my own seatbelt but amazingly, she helps me with that for the rest of the day! PIG mum tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage and we listen to her Spotify playlist all day.
  • At Ray's, I use the loo   for one tinkle then lie down for some massage and @ times ouchy massage. PIG mum was in her element yapping unceasingly @ Ray; my grateful thanks to him who always replied and kept a conversation flowing. Today she was excited enough to repeat one syllable six times before continuing. XD
    Cheers,

Sunday Post 610d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2749 but secondly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-ONE MINUTES online when I video chat Aunty Nga; will  haveta  turn the camera on and then keep surfing the net after she picks up!!  *sigh* But just super-briefly: final, final events for tonight?

  • Mr. Ilsley tootles us off to the Eight Mile Plains busway station and gets out Sparkless3 for me. We wheel me across the elevated platform and catch the elevator down. One benefit of using the wheelchair: I get to skip the queue! XD Need to write a special blog post about the Bridge To  Brisbane, definitely!
  • Boarded the next bus available and rode all the way to the starting point!
  • I used some portaloo myself while Mr. Ilsley went searching for sunscreen and then we waited for the entry countdown!
  • Someone counted down from start and everyone headed off! Mr. Ilsley jogged for a while but I told him to pace himself and offered him my lap should he need a rest. XD
  • Didn't haveta litter this year; after swigging some electrolytes (tasted just like normal water) you could put the empty cup back onto the table/into the bin! 
  • Event finished, I used another portaloo myself then grabbed a piece of fruit (the very last banana so I shared half with Mr. Ilsley, a copy of The Sunday Mail (will read toms) and some chocolate protein shake; yum!
  • For lunch we went to the Coffee. Wanted Pancakes originally but it's gone! o_O 
  • Eggs Benedict with bacon and a chocolate thickshake! :D Mr. Ilsley had a chicken caesar salad and a Pepsi Max.
  • Got home and watched the Broncos play the Raiders.
  • Thoughtt they lost so went and took a shower. I washed and rinsed my hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 10% of my short second-favourite  song out aloud. Actually, I was all done after only 11% but happily leaned fully against the side rail and watered myself for another tinkle, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was all done after only 11% but happily leant fully against the right-side rail and happily watered myself for another tinkle before calling PIG mum back.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted our once-weekly family dinner was back @ Ho Lin Wah. Before leaving, found out the Broncos actually WON! :D 
  • Got home, returned online then used the loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm.
  • Toms: late morning appointment to see Ray for  some massage and acupuncture. Bet PIG mum's simply  DYING to yap  ceaselessly  @ him.
  • She's said she'll takew me grocery shopping and aisle walking toms so I'm hoping I'll pass one grand.
  • Angelica's minding me from 3:30pm till 5:30pm toms.
  • Hoping to watch the 6pm news for the 179TH  time!
  • Righteo, hope everyone has  a smashing  week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2558 (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's daily devotional topic's 'Number Your Days' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-ONE MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! >< *sigh* Anyways, just very briefly, continuing today's events?

  • Did a stinky unspeakable and then @ 8:15am Mr. Ilsley came and picked me up for the Bridge To Brisbane! When he arrived, the first thing I told him was thanks for not coming  @ 4:30am like Mr. Hall did last time. XD
  • Cheers,
  • Em. ^^

Sunday Post 610b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 1954 (so must've passed 2000 before Sunday's out XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Number Your Days' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR  and THIRTY-ONE MINUTES online  after dinner tonight!! Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

  • PIG mum returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the gobbling :P table and brush teeth. That done, I use 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.
  • I've suddenly forgotten but I presume it's the same healthy stuff. 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 - bbl!
    Cheers,

Sunday Post 610

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1580 steps (ha, I'm just over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's '7 Reasons Not To Worry, Part 3'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Bible Helps Us To Overcome Temptation (4)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Tender Care" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed   ONE HOUR and FORTY MINUTES online after I watch the Broncos play the Raiders!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Woo hooo, 7th consecutive awesome sleep last night!  That's the 18TH time this year I've enjoyed one consecutive week of awesome sleeps! :D Like the past two days, nature didn't call until 6:30am, and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied.

  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P when PIG mum woke me with 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 bra strap and tops before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.

Saturday Post 610c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 3606. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

  • Had great fun playing with dad and Uncle Simon today! Not only's Uncle Simon really 'hark  hei' (say that in Canto) he also says I've got a natural backhand! 
  • Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat @ the gobbling :P table to enjoy my   honey chicken sushi roll and read for another two hours and five minutes since it's only Saturdays that I can spend a blessed three hours reading~
  • Used the loo for another tinkle then plopped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 178TH time. All the things I like recording are in today's first post.
  • When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy garlic shoot/stem, lotsa soup onion, lotsa soup carrot, a few tiny slices of pork and some delicious Chinese mushroom.
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after using the loo for another tinkle and asking PIG mum for another pad change (hopefully the flow's less heavy toms) I returned online.
  • At 9pm, I walked myself 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: for the first time since 2011, I'm doing the Bridge To Brisbane!! Mr. Hall's been in heaven for just over one year now but I'm doing it with Mr. Ilsley! Just the 5km, though~
  • Mr. Ilsley even says we can grab lunch out together afterwards, score! Should dad really take us out for our once-weekly family dinner together toms night, it may be the first time I've properly had lunch and dinner out @ some restaurant!
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing end too the weekend toms!
    Cheers,
    Em.
