Saturday Post 565c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for Saturday! With a final, final plodding total of 3892, lemme just cover final, final events for tonight?

• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat down to enjoy my honey chicken sushi and read all afternoon, since it's only   Saturday I get to spend a blessed three hours readying~ This afternoon I reached pg. 150 @ 3:19pm and reached pg. 175 @ 4:14pm.
• Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Used the loo for one tinkle, plopped online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin for the 229TH time. All the things I like recording are in today's first post.
• Had the usual dinner @ 7:19pm, drank soup, took bowl to sink, returned online and used loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm.
• Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. Was meant to FINALLY share lunch with other ESS people but Samuel's coming to visit with his wife and daughter!
• Wonder where dad will take us out for dinner tonight?
• Anyways, looking forward  to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, I'm logging in tonight's plodding total @ 3892 since PIG mum can't find Wally's number and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Hold God To His Word'. Righteo, continuing events for Saturday?

• After washing and drying   Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Jane and enjoy my once-weekly fried egg plus my first big mug of white tea with two sugars for breakfast. I also read for thirty minutes first up, finishing pg. 111 @ exactly 10:15am~
• While Jane closes and locks windows, I use the loo for one tinkle then climb into the passenger seat of her car. Thanks to Jane who kindly   helps me buckle my seatbelt all day.  She tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace and grabs a trolley for us before we buy groceries for PIG mum.  Unsure why the carers lemme sit on the self-serve checkout when the parents don't?
• Back home I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Jane who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. Pity my thirty-two-day streak with hairwash help ends toms ... hopefully it'll happen again next year! XD
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was another bowl of the yummy fried rice I'd cooked with Dorrie today plus two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar. I happily continued reading, reaching pg. 125 @ exactly 12:12pm.
• At 12:15pm, I sat once more over the loo for two tinkles then Jane tootled me off to church to play table tennis with dearest dad. Since her shift doesn't end until 1:15pm, upon arrival I asked her to please take me again. I'll see Jane again next Wednesday for our table tennis Christmas party!
• Had awesome fun playing table tennis with dearest dad~ Apparently the sessions have moved to Wednesday night? Reverend Jacob   and his daughter watched our match (dad won; obviously XD); she told me she was doing Grade Five @ Park Ridge!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Saturday Post 565

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3437 steps (so will definitely have cracked 3.5 grand before the day's out XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'No Detour From Calvary'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Be Careful What You Watch' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'God Sees Me' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm  really  still owed FIFTY-SEVEN MINUTES  online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin  (Nine's) for the 229TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like the past three days, nature didn't call until 6:10am and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Not only that, I woke with a remembered dream! For 15th remembered dream this year, I'm taking some bus ride, only there's some power outage and every where's blacked out! Luckily, the bus's own lights still work; everyone breaks into a round of applause for the driver once he safely steers us to our destination in the dark. XD
• Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore; when nature calls again after another 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*

•  Shortly before Jane arrives @ 9:30am, PIG mum lets her into my room to hit me with the eye goo, and I immediately tell her my dream and ask her to please help me remember it!
  

• Once Jane arrives, she knocks, opens the door and bids me good morning. When I wave Mini Pearl, she says fifteen more minutes okay? After another nod from Mini Pearl, she wisely removes herself; phew, since Mini Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD

• When Jane comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle and then we get me kitted, before I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. After drinking one mug of water, I sit over the loo proper and 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!

  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Heylo again, good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 5337 (ha, I'm more than half a normal person today; that's rare! XD Actually I'm suspicious does this Wally have ADHD ...) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Rejoice!' but thirdly  and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY MINUTES online after I hit the sack tonight @ 9:45pm; argh, what a crummy way to   end a MARVELLOUS night!! ><  But  just noting down that I had  SO MUCH FUN with Lorraine enjoyingf my once-yearly trip to Queen Street Mall tonight!! :D Bought a Pikachu  tee from Uniqlo,  WINDOWSHOPPED, ate a fried chicken rice bowl  for dinner from  Queensplaza, finished the night with a LARGE cookie dough gelato cone and watched the lights show!  Toms Jane's back minding me 9:30am till 1:30pm; hopefully dad and I'll play table tennis together but mostly I'm just  hoping I can read the  vampire book for THREE HOURS!

• After publishing the previous post, I had fifteen minutes to play Bejeweled-type games. Not that I passed anymore levels! XD
• At 9pm I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Tonight's ice cream night, yay; like I say every week, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Toms: Jane's minding me from 9:30 till 1:30pm. Unsure why I've not received the reminder text from Breathe to come for physio but mother and I've both left messages explaining I can't walk much.
• EXCITEMENT: toms I'm taking my once-yearly Queen Street Mall trip with Sparkless3, and I'll get to WINDOWSHOP!!! :D

• So a nice warm shower for me - 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, arvo tea was my first yummy juicy mango cheek for the year, two plain rice crackers and one massive mug of white tea! Just pity there wasn't any sweetener... *sigh*
• Over and after arvo tea, I happily read the werewolf book for one hour; today I reached page 100 @ 4:07pm.
• After reading for one hour, I returned online and asked Sharon to please keep massaging Ela but instead she asked could she head home? The shift doesn't end till 6pm but since she'd already supervised my shower, I was cool with that, just telling her to   check with CODA first.
• Meaning I signed her off one hour early; she's back not this Saturday but next Saturday.
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 228TH time!
•  At 5:40pm, 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.
• Jane's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm. Unsure have I got physio since I've not received the reminder text from Breathe? Nah, they've prolly sent the reminder text to PIG mum's mobile.
• Surely tomorrow's cooking and not exercises for Ela? Although fair enough ... wasn't Dorrie ill last week  and didn't come?
• But hopefully I'm taking my once-YEARLY trip to Queen Street Mall and looking @ the massive Christmas tree toms night!!

Thursday Post 565c

 Good afternoon and potentially one final greeting for today! Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2775. Anyways, potential final, final events for today?

• Immediately, I ring CODA and ask who's coming to look after me today?? Trish says that she'll call back.
• Breakfast is one bowl of the less-yummy (so sticky) bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) with 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 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 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. 
• Michelle eventually rings back, saying she's rung agencies and will ring again @ like 2pm and lemme know who's coming for support!
• I use the loo for one tinkle, climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my seatbelt. PIG mum tootles us down the road to buy groceries from Warrigal Square Woolies and walk aisles. Somehow, she can already see coming down the front of Warrigal  Square? Luckily, there's disabled parking available outside Ichiba~
• After buying groceries I just hike aisles until we reach the self-serve checkouts. Pity PIG mum won't lemme sit while she scans out items, but hey.
• Once home I use the loo for one tinkle then sit @ the gobbling :P table while the parents reheat leftovers for lunch.
• Lunch is spooned down with one bowlful of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink, I use the loo for one tinkle then walk myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Phew: when @ the self-serve checkouts, Michelle rang and said Sharon can come 3-6! 
• Will skip watching the 6pm news bulletin since I've gotta resend GCCW scores to Tammy!
  
• Toms: Jane's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm; I've not got the SMS reminder this time but presuming I've got physio @ Breath and then we'll buy groceries from somewhere before I come home for a shower.
• Also unsure:  am I finally hitting Queen Street Mall toms night for my once-yearly trip to see the Christmas tree??
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day  toms!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Thursday Post 565b

 Heylo  again, good morning again and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I get to post online before midday. XD Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding only 434 steps (since obviously, I've not left the house yet); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Long-Awaited Visitation'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Become A Better Listener' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Believing More Than We See' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm still  owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-EIGHT MINUTES online this afternoon!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 6:1oam 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*
• Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P around 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 when suddenly Michelle from CODA rings and says Karina can't make it! o_O 
• PIG mum helps me with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap, I give myself fifteen more minutes, get myself mostly independently kitted then call PIG mum to please come back and finish with Elf's AFO straps and both shoelaces. That done, I head over  to the bathroom and brush teeth, 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.

• Some have already left for Christmas holidays and there aren't enough trainers; for the first round I played with Robyn and then Jo joined us!

• Then we all went outside for juicy watermelon since today was really hot!

• Coz we arrived early I just sat inside Eden's car until someone opened the room then I hiked up the ramp and entered A7/8.
• While people were setting up tables, thanks to Mel Mel who walked behind me once to the loo. I managed inside myself just fine.
• Dinner was self-serve potluck! Cynthia walked behind me to get my first plate (her husband's an oncologist!) then Yu Lam walked behind me for seconds! Kwany even saved me a mini-Drumstick for dessert!
• Game time! Obviously, I sat out most since I'm not mobile but pitched in with the ping pong ball throwing and string holding!  BTW Mel's daughter gives a REALLY HARD high five! XD
• Yu Lam walked behind me again for another loo trip then it was home time! I missed out on cake!! ><
• Lol turns out Ellen and Eden are siblings! XD
• One more loo trip for me when I got home~
• Toms: Karina's minding me from 9:30am till 1:30pm; fingers crossed PIG mum'll lemme get an early lunch from Ho Lin Wah!

• After some adjustments, dad tootled us home, I used the loo for one tinkle then plopped online.

• Lunch was two mini half-slices of oven-baked pizza and 2.5 slices of really crunchy garlic bread!

 Heylo again, good morning again and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I get to post online before midday.  XD Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1359 steps; secondly, john Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "Mary's Magnificent God"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Peace That Defies Human Logic' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Growth Through Pain' but fifthly  and way most importantly, I'm still  owed ONE HOUR and SEVENTEEN MINUTES online after I get  home from our GG Christmas party tonight!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, for the first time in three days, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:10am,  and after one pot :P  trip I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied.

• Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and smore, me not waking again for the pot :P again until shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help my exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap 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.

• After washing and drying  Era,  I climb into the backseat of the car. Originally I  thought PIG mum was taking mwe  to  APO to get my AFO fixed, but dearest dad drives  us, yay! I get spared from hearing PIG mum  screech how cared she is. XD
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 564b

 Heylo again, good evening and probably one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's probable final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 4063 (sweet I'm just over four grand; that doesn't happen very often!) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "'All Things' As Defined By Paul". Righteo,  probable final, final events for tonight?

• Yay there's a disabled park available for us~ Peggy grabs a trolley for us, then we both buy groceries from Coles (but I keep forgetting that lovely checkout chic's name! XD) and we pop into the Pinelands Bakehouse where I get my crunchy pork  bahn mi from Aunty Lisa before Peggy tootles me back home.
• I use the loo for one tinkle and then enjoy my crunchy pork bahn mi with one big mug of white tea, the only alas being Peggy can't find where the sneaky parents have hidden the sweetener. *sigh*
• At 12:15pm Peggy tootles me off to the NAB for my final session there for 2025! With smooth traffic, I've ten minutes to play on my mobile before we head upstairs @ 12:50am.
• Physio today: Standing practice with left weight shift and reaching for Era while stacking rings, ten double leg squats on the tower of power for both legs and forty single leg squats on the tower of power for Elf. Aww Tam's so sweet: she actually a packet of Tim Tams (double coat) and I got two!
• Back home I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing   Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted arvo  tea was one yummy banana, one plain rice cake and one huge mug of herbal tea. Happiness was reading the vampire novel for one hour; today I reached pg. seventy-five @ 4:14pm~ At4pm I signed Peggy off with my thanks and byes; she's back same time next week~
• Dad tootled us off to Yum Cha And Co   for Aunty A's birthday dinner!
• Exactly like last year, the Slams joined us!
• Frustration was that I couldn't even get *one* bowl of rice. *sigh*
• Delight was that Aunty A ordered my favourite dish (fried fish fillet with corn sauce) and dad gave me three slices!  It's high class; crunchy! ^^)
• But aww Anna didn't let poor Uncle Slam come back to our house for Aunty A's birthday cheesecake! 'Twas delicious and I munched two little slices~
• Toms: hope PIG mum takes me grocery shopping somewhere toms before Jane takes me to play table tennis @ 1:30pm! Else expect a super-pissy  plodding total from me~
• Excitement: Eden's coming @ 6pm and taking me to our GG Christmas breakup party!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing   day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 564

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2747 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Prepare The Way'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Your Emotions Matter To God (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Positive Graffiti' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY-EIGHT  MINUTES online after we have birthday dinner for Aunty A!! Anyways, events for today?

• Nature called once around 12:45am; 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*
• Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me sleeping that soundly nature didn't call again till just after 9am, shortly before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs! Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before returning outside and awaiting Peggy's arrival.
• Once PIG mum lets Peggy inside, Peggy knocks the door, pushes it open and announces good morning. When I nod Mini Pearl @ her, she next states fifteen more minutes. Another nod from Mini Pearl and she wisely withdraws; phew, since Mini Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
• But whoops I fall back asleep before she returns! It's only a light sleep since I wake once she reopens the door. Since it's Summer now I jolly well can't go morgenmuffel on her, so just swing myself over and use the pot :P for three more tinkles. XD
• We get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth (thanks to Peggy who squirted some toothpaste; the new Darlie toothpaste I started last night tastes awesome! ^^), sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast with Peggy, who tells me that she had her usual two fried eggs for breakfast.
• Lol since PIG mum was getting ready for her Pilates class this morning, she forgot to tell Peggy that she's banned bread for my breakfast, meaning apart from healthy cereal this morning I also enjoyed bone slice of thick-crust toast lightly smeared with avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt! I also popped all my usual drugs :P and drank one tall 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*
• Breakfast finished, Peggy slathers both arms and my face with sunscreen then follows me back to the bathroom then returning to the kitchen and washing the kitchen stuff up. Over the loo, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Auto (pronounced Alto) and Peggy tootles me off to Pinelands Plaza. Thanks to her who kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt all day.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 564d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight!  Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2370. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After another tinkle PIG mum tootled me home. Originally, she'd said she'd take me to Big W and buy my chocolate advent calendar, but dearest dad said he'd get it since he didn't want me walking too much until I got my AFO fixed.
• Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Came home for lunch then plopped online and composed my XMas Wishlist!
• When Lorraine arrived, she helped me setup the   Christmas tree! She handed me every single bauble to hang up, then she wrapped the tinsel around!
• Took my fastest shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Lorraine who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Had arvo tea, read for one hour (reached pg. fifty @ 5:29pm), watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 227TH time. All the things I like recording are in today's second post.
• Had dinner, returned online and used the loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm.
• Toms:  Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till 4pm. We'll buy groceries from Pinelands Coles plus my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse then coming back home for lunch before Peggy takes me to UQ for physio.  Fingers crossed it'll be the last one for the year!!
• Peggy will see me home and showered before leaving @ 4pm. I'm hoping to read Eternal Ruin for one hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 228TH time!
• Oh, must remember to give scores for all the GCCW competition entries!!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Monday Post 564c

 Good evening again! Em's new plodding total for tonight now stands @ 2189. Anyways, continuing events for today?

• After using the loo for one tinkle (thanks to PIG mum for passing me some toilet paper first since the roll's over to the left and Ela can barely reach it) I lay down for some massage and acupuncture. PIG mum was in   her element yapping unceasingly @ Ray and excitedly repeating syllables multiple times before continuing but fair enough; she'd not seen him for one month since she was holidaying overseas! My gracious thanks to Ray   who always replied and kept a conversation flowing~
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Monday Post 564b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2038 (ha, I'm just over two grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Pursue  God' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed  online after dinner tonight!! Anyways, events for today?

• Nature called  once  around 12:45am; following another pot :P trip after 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*
• Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P around 9am, shortly   before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let her into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap (since she only lays out the tee for me) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum returns only to finish with 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 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.
• Breakfast is one bowl of the less-yummy (so sticky) bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) with all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the toilet, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 

•  After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage @ the MacGregor place but lol, she initially pulls up onto the wrong house! *sigh*

• Aww, Ray's such a good boy; he lets me press the doorbell before calling come in! I've tried walking soundlessly before, but he always anticipates my arrival; when I once protested that I walked totally silently, he replied oh, I can hear your car pull onto the driveway.  XD
