Saturday Post 323b

 Heylo again,  good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly,  Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2149 and secondly, Joni's devotional  topic's "Speaking  God's Language." But I penned Dr.  Dr. a letter then started watching the news but   stopped 1/4 way  through when I found out coverage of the Broncos game started @ 7pm! Wolfed dinner down then watched the Broncos get  flogged by the Warriors; 40-6! ><' Cringe* Rang Aunty Lai @ 9pm  and spoke to her for 6:04 and toms it's just church,  definitely nothing  special. Resigned too a pissy bit of   lunch with dad @ Hungry Jack's and don't wanna watch the    news toms night  and read how the Broncos lost AGAIN! ><" Righteo, hopefully   see everyone @ church  toms!
Cheers.

Saturday Post 323

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard  @ work plodding 1506 steps (ha, I'm just over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'God Forgives, And Is Still Just'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Money: How You Get It, And Give It' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Living Out God's Love". Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, what better way to start the weekend then with my second 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 cuddle and snore; the next time nature calls again  following 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*
• More cuddling and snoring from Daddy Bear and me; PIG mum's daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs my wakeup call to use the pot :P once more. Soon, she's let herself  into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor Elf's ankle a very  brief rub since she'd  totally  ignored my  poor foot  last night. That's alright,  Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes  and let her wear her sock to sleep last night but obviously peeled the sock off first thing this morning! XD
• Since Louiza didn't arrive @ 9:45am, PIG mum immediately gave me fifteen more minutes. I immediately comply telling mother I'm sure Louiza's just stuck in traffic so tell her to get me up @ 9:45am after she comes. Sure enough, that's exactly what happens!  XD
• Once I've counted down from 900 I announce that I'm hungry to Louiza and swing myself over to  the pot :P for one more tinkle. She's inside the bathroom and immediately comes; we get me kitted and yup, she confirms that she was late since she was stuck in traffic along the Ipswich motorway.
• I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth, before drinking one tall cup of water then sitting 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 Louiza. Breakfast's my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado, another full mug of water, all  my usual drugs :P  and my  first big mug of white tea sweetened with two  teaspoonfuls of sugar. Over and after breakfast I happily read A Fortunate Life for thirty minutes first up!
• Reading finished, I ask Louiza please to gimme (face and both hands) some sunscreen then she  walks behind me back to the loo before going and washing the breakfast dishes up.
• After sitting over the loo for one tinkle, I climb into the passenger seat of Louiza's car and she tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace, parking  around the side and grabbing a trolley for us.
• First we buy groceries from Woolies. Like I've said, I don't mind  shopping with carers since they lemme sit on the self-serve checkout  machine.  Wonder why the parents won't?
• We're walking towards Sushi  Creators when the guy  behind the counter looks up, sees me  coming and raises a finger in the air? I  reply with a thumbs up; by the  time we reach the  counter he's already packaged my  sushi and hands it  to Louiza, going "Four dollars." Louiza looks @ me, asking have you ordered yet? I mime our little conversation;   she laughs and pays the guy.    XD
• Back home, I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Louiza who helped me  rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. At 12:25pm I asked Louiza to please massage Ela but she dithered around washing dishes before very gently massaging he for like ten minutes.
• At 12:55pm I sat over the loo once more for two tinkles then signed Louiza off with my thanks and byes. She's back next Thursday 9:30am till 1pm/thereabouts.
• Instead of reading all  arvo to reach three hours I'm gonna pen a long letter to  Dr. Dr. Tai; she turned FIFTY like eight days ago hence why I bought her a proper '50' card today!
• Have reminded the parents to gimme dinner @ 6pm while I'm watching the news coz the Broncos are playing @ 7!
• Toms: just church, nothing special. Resigned to a bite of lunch with dad @ Hungry Jack's then a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum. *sigh*But should  the Broncos win tonight; I'm definitely reading match report  after match  report toms  arvo   and basking in their glory! XD
• Anyways, hopefully bbl,   else looking forward to seeing everyone  @ church  toms!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^
  P.S.

• After publishing the previous post I had thirty minutes to happily play the Queen version of Bejeweled~
• At 9pm I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: Louiza's minding me from 9:30am till 1pm.Going to buy my honeychicken sushi roll for arvo tea with  her plus any groceries PIG mum wants but may not get to play table tennis @ church  with dad since there's some kinda fundraising thing happening for the Kenya mission trip?

• When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner @ 7:15pm I used the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era 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, leftover pasta and chicken from the cooking I did with  Ari yesterday, lotsa broccolini, lotsa soup carrot, two/three huge chunks of yucky soup pumpkin, two chunks of soup   pork and two tasty leftover slices of  dad's delicious duck.

Friday Post 323

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3905 steps (so will hit   four grand today;    sweet XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Three Examples Of How Faith Fulfils Good Resolves'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Let's Tell The Whole World  About Jesus" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'One Worthy Of Worship'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, what better way to end the week then with an awesome sleep last night? Nature didn't call until the noisy garbage truck THUNDERED down our road to  tip bins and woke me; after  one pot :P  trip I immediately did the bed exercises Winnie  taught me   to prevent further back  pain 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 cuddled and snored, me again waking for the pot :P when dearest dad came to kiss me bye and retuck me back into bed before going hiking with other church uncles!
• Daddy Bear and I  happily continued cuddling  and snoring, nature  calling once more around 9am just before noisy PIG mum began her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let  herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before returning outside to await Rebecca's mum, only  to reappear @ 9:01am   and gimme fifteen more minutes since Rebecca hadn't arrived yet! I immediately comply and tell PIG mum to ask Rebecca to help me up @ 9:15am after she arrives coz she's prolly stuck in traffic. Sure enough, that's exactly what happens! XD
• After Rebecca taps me up @ 9:15am, I use the pot :P  for two more tinkles and discover that she was stuck in traffic along the Ipswich motorway on-ramp. We  get me kitted, I head over to the  bathroom and brush teeth, then sit over the loo for one tinkle before washing and drying Era then heading out to the gobbling :P table with Rebecca.
• Breakfast is  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. PIG mum kindly turns on  Sunrise for my  viewing pleasure, and 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  summon Rebecca to please gimme some sunscreen then she walks behind  me back to  the bathroom  before 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 backseat of Rebecca's car  and she tootles me off to the NAB.
• At UQ, I   use the toilet for one tinkle then sit in the waiting  room with the other clients nd chat until Amar (sp? Hammer without the 'h') comes for me.
• Physio  today: Thirty sit-to-stands with left and forward weight shift for Barefoot Elf sitting with less thigh support, standing reaching for Ela stacking cones with more left and forward weight shift and walked one fast lap around the great court!
• After one more loo  trip, Rebecca tootles me not home but first    to   the Logan North library  to pickup the new book club novel.
• Only there aren't  any hard copies  left! Instead, some male librarian teaches me how to download and use Libby meaning I've got a digital copy of the book! 
• Back home,  I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Rebecca 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  delicious bowl  of the pasta I'd cooked with  Ari  yesterday plus one unsweetened mug of English breakfast  tea with milk. Rebecca cleaned the bathroom then left immediately; she's still got a 4-8pm shift tonight! Mostly I just  enjoyed eating with full mouthfuls. XD
• Lunch finished, I took the bowl to  the sink, used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly  and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• After noting down what I did for physio today I did my  daily    Bible readings then plopped online for myself.
• Once I've used up the most important two  hours of  my day I'll use the loo for one tinkle then sit  and munch the arvo tea PIG mum kindly left me before returning online and watching the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 181ST time.
• Toms: Louiza's minding  me 9:30am till 1pm; presuming we're buying my arvo tea sushi plus whatever groceries PIG mum wants from Woolies @ Underwood MarketPlace before coming home for a shower and lunch  (hopefully  another bowl  of that delicious pasta I  cooked with Ari yesterday) then I might play table tennis with  dad @ church. Then again, maybe not since dad says there's some Kenya mission trip fundraising thing going on! Anyhow, I'm looking forward to  my three big mugs of white tea with sweetener and plan to read the new book club novel for three hours!
• Anyways, hopefully  bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 323

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2264 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'My Soul Thirsts For God'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Evaluate Your  Expectations'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Jesus' Witness" and fifthly Joni's devotional topic's "A Heart Of Flesh but sixthly  and way most importantly, I've not been online for  two  hours until  10:01pm; meaning should PIG mum boot me off to bed  @ 9:45pm I'm really still owed SIXTEEN MINUTES online!! *sigh* Anyways, events for today?

• • Grr, nature ruined the awesome sleep streak I'd just started! >< Never mind, I was prolly too excited about my first proper meal out in one MONTH tonight. *sigh*
  • Following the first  daylight 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 wakes 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 give poor Elf's ankle a very brief rub since she'd totally ignored my poor  foot last night. That's fine; Era rubbed Elf for fifteen minutes and let her wear her sock to sleep last night but obviously peeled the sock off first thing this morning! XD
  • When Louiza doesn't arrive @ 8am  PIG mum immediately opens the door  saying fifteen more minutes; I immediately comply but tell her bet Louiza's just stuck in traffic; just tell her to help me up @ 8:15pm after she arrives. Sure enough, that's exactly what happens! XD
  • When Louiza taps me up @ 8:15am, I sit  up, say good morning then used the pot :P for three more tinkles. Sure enough; Louiza was delayed in traffic: stuck along the Ipswich motorway, actually! 
  • We get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth and then  sit over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying  Era, I head out to  the gobbling  :P  table with Louiza, telling her off for not eating breakfast  this morning and informing her that she would buy herself some breakfast after she bought groceries for PIG mum while I was attending GCCW. XD
  • Breakfast was prolly one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly  smeared with    avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Thanks to Louiza who turns Sunrise on for my  viewing pleasure and 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, Louiza covers my face and both hands with sunscreen then follows me back to  the bathroom before returning  to  the kitchen and washing the breakfast stuff up. 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 Louiza's car and she tootles me off to GCCW! Thanks to her who kindly helped me with my seatbelt both ways and since we were really stuck along Logan Rd., we didn't arrive till like 9:29am hence why I skipped the arrival toilet trip and just headed straight into Meeting Room One.
  • Ten attended: Alison was here! Tammy went with me  once to  the toilet @ morning  tea and Nancy got morning tea  for me: there was cake and she not only  gave me  seconds but  left me the last slice! Only the meeting ended ten minutes early,  everyone cleared out really fast and then someone switched  off the light  and I  was left in the dark! ><  XD
  • Less than fifteen minutes left,  so super-briefly:
  • Got home, showered and had a tuna in tomato and onion with cheese toastie for  lunch.
  • Rebecca took me  to Wong's for  our book club dinner! Thirteen  attended and I had that   set that  came with  two spring rolls, some sweet and sour pork and some braised chicken with two  prawns; I picked that and the celery out. XD I also finished eating last but that was to  be expected. XD Next month we're reading A Fortunate Life? Maybe that's by  A.B. Facey and about Peekay the boxer?
  • Rebecca tootled me home; she's back toms @ 8am till 2pm~
  • Yup toms I've got  NAB physio for two hours but don't have OT since Ari already cooked with me this arvo! Will eat what we cooked this arvo for lunch toms~
  • Looking forward to reading the new book club novel  for one hour and watching the 6pm news for  the 181ST time.
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing end to the week  toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 323c

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Wednesday's actually 3804 (PIG mum said divide by  1.7, not 1.2) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'He Will Never Change' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really  still owed TWO MINUTES online after I visit the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, continuing today's events?

• Breakfast's one slice of toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully very lightly sprinkled with  avocado,   all my  usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the bathroom, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel.

See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 

•  After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of  the Cherry and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). The parents climb in too, and dad tootles us off first to Hung's Auto  (in Springwood somewhere, maybe?) to borrow sth from Uncle Wah Hung.

• Then dad tootles us off to   visit 28 Barradale Ct., the home he  built for  us all the way back in  like 1992! Wow, it's changed so much: not only is there a new roof but there's been a granny flat added!

• Our final stop today was the Hyperdome! Unfortunately I didn't get to use Sparkless3 but we bumped into  our old neighbours Andrew and Jenny from Barradale Ct.; they're still  there!

• I was hoping for Red Rooster  for lunch  @ food court  but daad had originally decided on sushi; we compromised on Japanese chicken  rice although  dad wouldn't lemme enjoy  a bowl  of chicken katsudon and restricted me to just teriyaki chicken while he  enjoyed KFC. *sigh*

• Back home I plopped online to await Louiza's arrival  @ 4pm;  when she hadn't arrived by 4:05pm I headed  over to  the gobbling  :P table, intending  to ring CODA from  my mobile had she still not arrived by 4:10pm  but phew,  she arrived just then and dearest dad let her inside. Yup, she was stuck in traffic.

• So a nice hot  shower for me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Louiza 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 juicy yummy pear, one flavoured cracker and one huge mug of herbal tea. Louiza cleaned the bathroom then asked to leave early, I  said sure just  lemme use the loo once more first.  She's back toms morning and taking me to GCCW!

• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's)  for the 180TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of the previous post. The Slam's and Anna arrived for dinner and started without me; I joined after watching the news and using the pot :P   or one tinkle.

• Dinner tonight:  rice, lotsa yummy wombok and like three pieces of  dad's delicious duck.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 323b

 Heylo  again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 5174 (ha,  I'm more than half a  normal person today;  that's rare!) but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THREE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 180TH time!! 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 bathroom  and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the   loo   for one tinkle, wash  and dry Era then walk myself slowly   and safely  out to  the gobbling :P  table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  Cheers,

Wednesday Post 323

 Good afternoon! Sorry for only leaving placeholder posts for the last two days: Monday arvo and night Louiza and I hit the EKKA while yesterday I had NAB physio for two hours then Toastmasters @ night! So Monday's plodding total was 3296 (coz obviously I  used Sparkless3 @ the EKKA) but yesterday I  plodded 8000 steps (my best for 2026 thus far)! Now, today: firstly, I've been hard @ work plodding 4785 steps (sweet  I'm already over 4.5 grand; that's even less common than four grand!); secondly,  John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Different Tenses Of Grace'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Keys To Spiritual Growth' and fourthly,  Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Precious Parting Words' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY MINUTES online after Louiza minds me from 4-6pm!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep  last night; I'm not  really surprised I scored an  awesome sleep last night  since I plodded 8000 steps  yesterday;   my best  for 2026 thus far! Nature didn't call until 7:55am and after one pot :P  trip, I immediately  did the exercises Winnie taught me to  prevent  further back pain 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 not waking again till nearly 9am  for another pot :P trip. Soon, PIG mum starts her daily  noisy  a-THUMPING around  upstairs and shortly afterwards she's let herself into  my  room  to  hit me with the eye goo and help  me with  exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra straps and laying out  the tops before  leaving me to  get  myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately  struggling into the tops then giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 332

 Good afternoon! Firstly,  today I've been hard @ work plodding 2082 steps (ha,  I'm just over two  grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily  devotional topic from last night's 'Ruler Of All Nature'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Tell The Truth'   and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional  topic's 'Costly Faithfulness' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and FIFTY-ONE MINUTES online after showering!!

Saturday Post 332b

 Heylo again and good  evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total   for Saturday now stands @ 2904 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Taste And See'. Righteo, continuing today's events?

• When nature calls again around one hour later, 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*
• Around 9am  PIG mum's noisy  daily   a-THUMPING around upstairs wakes me for one more pot :P   trip;  soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before returning outside and awaiting Jacinta's arrival @ 9:30am.
• Whoops outta time  so just super-briefly:
• Jacinta minded me from 9:30am  till 1pm; we bought groceries from Woolies @ Underwood MarketPlace plus my once-weekly honey chicken sushi  roll, came home for  a shower and lunch, played table tennis with dad @ church, happily read Matthew Flinder's cat all arvo, watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 179TH time (all the things I like  recording are @ the bottom of the previous post) and had dinner.
• Righteo, hopefully  bbl  after ringing  Aunty Lai @ 9pm, doing the census with  PIG mum and one more tinkle 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 332

Eep where did my original post go?! >< *sigh* Right, take two: firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2870 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Power Of Creation'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'How To Make Anger Work 0For You (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Impacting Generations' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and SIX MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 179TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Aww, I was hoping to score  an  awesome night's sleep last night, considering I'd endured two  hours of physio  yesterday  morning  and another of OT yesterday arvo but nature called shortly  after midnight! >< Never mind, I was prolly too excited since I'd searching for Ekka showbags and 'twas otherwise a sound sleep~ *sigh*
• After the first  daylight pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*

• After publishing the previous post and finishing sharing my Facebook  memories, I started searching for Ekka showbags; I'm going with Louiza next Monday afternoon! :D

• Toms: think it's Louiza minding me from 9:30am till 1pm? Must remember to ask PIG mum to please find me a new book to read tonight; if she won't, I'll haveta ask Louiza too please grab me one toms morning while I'm brushing teeth/sitting over the loo.

Friday Post 332b

•  Physio today: Standing practice with left and forward weight shift and Ela removing rings and replacing over another pole, thirty barefoot sit-to-stands with left and forward weight shift plus resistance band and walked 1.5 laps of the Great Court at a fast but safe pace! Best  of all, after using the loo for one more tinkle and climbing back into  her car, Rebecca went and got a small dirty chai for me! :D 
• Back home I  take a nice hot shower  - hairwash today. Also thanks to Rebecca who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch   was one tuna and onion and tomato and onion  toastie with only one cheese and one huge mug of herbal tea. Unfortunately yesterday already marked THREE WEEKS since I last enjoyed a proper meal out, so yay for book club dinner together next Thursday!
• Rebecca cleaned the bathroom then left about ten minutes early; she's back next Thursday and taking me out to book club @ 5:30pm!
• Whoops already outta time, so super-briefly: Ela did one hour of unfunctional exercises with Ari, I read my daily  Bible passages, watched the 6pm news (Nine's)  for  the 178TH time (all  the things I like recording are @ the bottom of  the previous post),  used the loo  for one dinner, had the usual dinner, drank  soup, took  bowl  to  sink and returned online.
• Righteo, fingers crossed I can bbl after one last loo trip @ 9pm with my  final, final plodding  total   for Friday, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 332

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4389 steps (ooh I'm already over four  grand; that doesn't happen too often!); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Jesus Bought Your Endurance'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'How To Make Anger Work For You (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Greater" but fifthly  and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTEEN MINUTES after I watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 178TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Grr, I'd just started an awesome sleep streak (four nights) last night when nature randomly called around 12:45am and ended it! >< Never mind;  'twas a sound sleep apart from  that~ *sigh*
• After the first daylight pot :P trip, I immediately did the exercises Winnie taught me to prevent further back pain 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 when noisy PIG mum begins her daily  a-THUMPING around upstairs.  Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor Elf  a very brief rub, since she totally ignored my poor foot last night. That's okay;  Era rubbed Elf for fifteen minutes last night and let her wear her sock to sleep last night though obviously tugged the sock off first thing this morning! XD
• After PIG mum les the new carer she instructs her to gimme fifteen more minutes. When Rebecca returns and taps me,  I sit up, introduce myself and sit over  the loo for three more tinkles before we get me kitted. I've got dreadful facial recognition but think I'll remember her since she's got a very prominent mole on her chin and that she's Hongkie like me!
• I head over to the bathroom to  brush teeth  before sitting over  the loo   for one tinkle then washing and drying Era before heading out to the gobbling :P table with Rebecca, who tells me that she had steak for breakfast this morning!
• Me, I  get one slice of  dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and for some  reason the PLATE (not the toast) very lightly sprinkled with salt (no problem; I just licked the plate clean afterwards XD), all my usual drugs :P  and one full mug of  water. Thanks also to Rebecca who turned Sunrise on for my viewing pleasure~ 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 ask Rebecca to please gimme some sunscreen and then she walks behind me back to the loo before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast dishes 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 Rebecca's car and she kindly  helps me buckle my seatbelt before driving us out to the NAB.
• Getting a smooth run, we've more than ten minutes to poke @ our smartphones before heading upstairs @ 9:50.
• Today Vincente wasn't with me but Ami! It's pronounced hammer without the 'h'!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, second consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 7:45am and after one pot :P trip I immediately did the bed exercises Winnie taught me to prevent  further back pain 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  once more for the  pot :P   around 9am shortly  before PIG mum  began her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to  hit me with the eye  goo before returning outside and awaiting Peggy's arrival @ 9:30am.
• After PIG mum lets Peggy inside,  Peggy  knocks, opens the door and announces good morning. When I flop  Daddy Bear's paw @ her,   she  next   states, "Fifteen more minutes." Daddy Bear gives another paw nod before imperiously  flicking his paw 'shoo!' @ her; Peggy smirks but wisely does as ordered, thus saving her from the wrath of  the Bear Bum. XD
• Once I've counted down from 900 I swing myself over to the  pot :P and announce that I'm hungry to Peggy. She comes, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and  brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who's squirted some toothpaste for me. 
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 331d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding  total for Monday now stands @ 3784. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• Afterwards, Jacinta tootles us off to Sunny Park, grabs a trolley for us and I buy a jug of 2L milk  from Woolies. Yay that Jacinta lets me sit on the self-serve checkout while she's scanning and paying; yay also that I enjoy a soft serve before getting home! :D
• Got  home and took a nice hot   shower  - hairwash  today. Also thanks to  Jacinta who  helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing  Era to hold my stupid  right eye tightly  shut.
• Whoops already outta time, so super briefly:
• enjoyed two big mugs of white tea with one spoonful of honey for arvo tea, read for fifty-five minutes, watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 175TH time, used loo,  ate dinner, read for five more minutes (since  I  like  reading for one hour @  least every  day  when possible), took cup   to sink, returned online, used looo for another  tinkle @ 8:20pm and once more @ 9pm.
• Toms:  Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till 4/4:30pm. In the morning we're buying groceries from Pinelands Coles plus my weekly crunchy pork  bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse,  coming home for  lunch,  heading out to   the NAB for  two hours' physio  and coming home for a shower. Hoping  too  read the Matthew Reilly novel  for one hour and watch the 6pm news for the 176TH  time!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day  toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 331c

 Good evening again! Firstly,  Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3657 but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really  still owed TWENTY MINUTES online after I use the loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm!! Righteo, continuing today's events?

• Breakfast was one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully  very lightly sprinkled with some salt (but my inferior tastebuds never taste any >< 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 bathroom, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 
• After washing  and drying Era, I climb into   the backseat of  PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt. She tootles me off to   see Ray for some massage and acupuncture, parking on the driveway.
• Inside, I use the loo for one tinkle then lie down for some massage and acupuncture. PIG mum's in  her element, yapping ceaselessly @ Ray; my grateful thanks to Ray who always replied and kept a conversation  flowing. As usual,  PIG mum was way too excited about getting to yap; today  she repeated one syllable four times, another five times and a third six times before continuing. XD
• After another loo trip, PIG mum tootled us home. I popped online and did my daily Bible readings.  Started job  today~
• Lunch was one bowl of dinner leftovers from  last night, stacked full with different boiled vegetables and spooned down with one bowl of soup. PIG mum ate a bite then left  for her water class, while dad opened the door for  the cleaner  @ like 1;30pm? Score, I got outta having  to   take my bowl over to  the sink  before returning online since she was already @ the kitchen and immediately replies yes, sure when I asked her could she please take my lunch dishes away! :o)
• After popping online for a brief while, I sat over the loo once for two tinkles @ 1:50pm before sitting by the door and awaiting Jacinta's arrival @ 2pm.
• Once she arrives, I climb into the passenger seat of her car, she kindly  helps me buckle  my seatbelt (as she kindly does all afternoon) and then she tootles me off to Breathe foor physio.
• Physio today: 1.507km bike ride, forty bar-assisted push ups with left weight shift, forty step ups for Erf with more left weight shift, forty step ups for Elf, forty v-bar cable rows for both hands, forty leg curls for Elf, forty leg curls for Elf, forty leg extensions for Elf, forty leg curls for Erf, tennis ball throwing and catching for  Era and boxing!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  
  

Monday Post 331b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final  plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3515 (ha, I'm just over 3.5 grand XD)  and secondly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's 'Saturate Yourself  With The Word' but thirdly   and way most importantly, I'm  really  still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY MINUTES online after dinner  tonight!! Righteo, potential  final, final events for tonight?

• Still, PIG mum took her time doing things, meaning  I didn't let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth till just  after 9:50am! >< That's alright; will sit over the  loo extralong tonight before hitting the sac and twelve hours should've passed~
• 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.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 331

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2020  steps (ha,  I'm just over two grand XD); secondly, John piper's daily  devotional  topic from last night's 'Afraid Of Death No More'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "What You Have's Good" and fourthly,  Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Waiting For God' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-FIVE MINUTES online after I watch  the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 175TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, what better way to start  the week than with an awesome sleep last night?  Nature didn't call until 7:45am and after one pot :P trip I did  the exercises Winnie  taught me to  prevent further back pain before spending 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 shortly  before 9am. Shortly  after that, PIG mum' begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstirs and she's soon let herself  into  my room   to hit me with  the eye goo and give poor Elf a very   brief rub, since she totally ignored her  last night. That's alright; Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes and let her wear her sock  to sleep though obviously peeled it off first thing this morning! XD
• Daddy  Bear and I happily   cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P   around  9am. Unsure why   PIG  mum   didn't help me   up  earlier? Meaning I had to skip  my   fifteen more minutes, get myself mostly independently kitted and bang on the wall to   summon    PIG mum  to   finish  with my  footwear since I  didn't    wanna already be back in  bed before twelve hours have passed since I left else I'll feel like I've wasted the entire day! >< *sigh*
  Cheers,Em.  ^^

Sunday Post 331d

• When people started clearing out, dad and Yu  Lam  walked back with me to Peter Pie's car,  since they were giving me a lift to the soccer world cup (BCAC version)!
• Whoops only two minutes left, so super-briefly:
• Got Japanese takeaway  for lunch!
• Played mobile games while the match was being played, pausing and cheering  whenever any ruckus started.  XD

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total  for Sunday now stands @ 3874 but   secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed RWENTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after I use the loo for   one  more tinkle @ 9pm!! Anyways, continuing today's events?

  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 331b

 Heylo again, good  evening  and potentially one final  greeting  for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3140 (ha, I'm over three grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional  topic's 'The Boy With Five Loaves And Two Fish' but thirdly  and way most importantly, I'm really  still owed THIRTY-SIX MINUTES online after getting home from dinner tonight!! Righteo, potential  final, final events for today?

• After breakfast, I walk  myself slowly and safely back to the loo, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 
• After washing and  drying Era, I climb into the backseat of  PIG mum's car and buckle my  own seatbelt. She tootles us ooff to church and parks outside the EM service hall. I hike up   the ramp, use the second cubicle  of  the regular   female toilets (since both the  first cubicle and the disabled have closed lids but horrid PIG mum won't lift it for me), wash  and dry both hands then grab my usual spot for service to the most left.
• Yay, I get to stay seated  for worship  today~ I  sing everything, plus the harmony for four songs  but like every other week, mean absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Pastor Peter Pie; his sermon was the third from his How People Change series.
• Afterwards there were multiple sharings but I  needed to pee! >< I must've looked desperately @ Pastor Peter Pie since he came over and I muttered sorry  nature calls; he fetched Sticky for me and walked with me outside; suddenly Rosanna appeared and told Peter Pie she'd take me~
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

 good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3004 steps (ha,  I'm just over three grand XD); secondly,  john Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Our Weakness Reveals His Worth'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Experiencing God's Presence Each Day" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's  devotional  topic's 'Walking  With Integrity' but  fifthly and way most  importantly, I'm really  still owed ONE HOUR and FOUR MINUTES online after showering!! Anyways, events for  today?

• Have forgotten what time nature called last night but  after  the first daylight pot :P trip I did the exercises Winnie taught me to prevent further back  pain 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*
• PIG mum beginning are noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs wakes me for another pot :P  trip; soon, she's let herself into my room to  hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly  with  absolutely  nothing bar the bra strap  and laying  the tops out  before leaving me to   get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply  with after immediately struggling into the tops then giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• 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 slice of dry (unbuttered)    toast very lightly spread  with avocado and hopefully   very lightly sprinkled  with some salt,  all  my  usual drugs :P and one full mug of  water.  Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay.

Saturday Post 331d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 1458. Sorry, not quite 1.5  grand. Maybe toms.  XD Righteo,  final, fina  events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post I was reading  and sharing my Facebook memories when I heard  PIG mum turn the electric mixer on! That meant  she was cooking  sth; I'd better help! Unsure why   Aunty Lai DEMANDS I help but hey. I head over.  I head over, add the sugar into the mix and wield the electric mixer for awhile. Then I return online and ring Aunty Lai @ 9pm, talking with  her for like 4:04.
• Phone call finished, 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. Actually, the special thing's that I'm joining for lunch before cheering everyone  during our own soccer world cup! Pastor Peter Pie will  gimme a lift there, grab me some takeaway lunch and drop   me back home afterwards; perhaps expect a super-pissy plodding  total from me since he's said bring Sparkless3?
• Unsure will I be in home time to watch the 6pm news for the 175TH time, neither might I get to read for one hour toms but  presuming we're having dinner @ Ho Lin Wah again. Actually I don't wanna watch  the news: the Broncos just lost  AGAIN. ><" *cringe*
• Righteo, looking forward to seeing  everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Saturday Post 331c

 Good evening  again! Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 1370. Anyways, continuing today's events?

• Arvo tea was my yummy chicken sushi roll with one huge mug of green tea. I happily read for another 110 minutes, reaching pg. 200 @ exactly 4:15pm, finishing the sushi @ 4:27pm,  finishing the huge mug of PIG mum's black sesame soyabean milk @ 4:36pm, reached pg. 225 @ exactly 4:44pm, reached pg. 250 @ 5:16pm and reached  pg. 275 @ 5:42pm.
• Did another stinky unspeakable (thanks to  PIG mum who brought me one cup of water), returned online and happily watched the 6pm news (Nine's)  for the 174TH time. All the interesting surnames I saw are @ the bottom of  today's first post.
• When  PIG mum summoned me for dinner @ 7:14pm 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.
• Turns out dad's having dinner with the other Saturday service people!
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa-not -very-yummy bean  sprouts,  some leftover air-fryer tofu that I made with  Ari  yesterday and four surprisingly delicious crispy roast pork that the parents bought  recently and PIG mum baked tonight!
• Dinner was spooned down with  one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walk myself slowly back online, again  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• Righteo, hopefully bbl  after one more tinkle after I ring Aunty Lai  @ 9pm with my  final, final plodding total for today, the final, final  events for  tonight plus what's happening toms else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church Sunday!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

 Heylo  again, good  evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly,  Em's potential  final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 1288 and secondly, Joni's devotional  topic's 'Specifically For You'. Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• Once I'd used up the most important two hours of  my day online I used the loo  for one tinkle then  sat to munch arvo tea and read for a good long while, since it's only Saturdays that I get to  spend a blessed three hours reading~
• Arvo tea was my yummy chicken sushi roll with one huge mug of green tea. I happily read for another 110 minutes, reaching pg. 200 @ exactly 4:15pm, finishing the sushi @ 4:27pm,  finishing the huge mug of PIG mum's black sesame soyabean milk @ 4:36pm, - bbl!

Saturday Post 331

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1056 steps (ha, I'm just over one grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Suffering That Crushes Faith"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'What, Whose, Why, When?' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Better Country". Anyways, events for  today?

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature had already called once fractionally before midnight but after one pot :P   trip I snored happily until 7:45am before waking and relieving myself again.
• Following the first daylight pot :P trip I immediately did the exercises Winne taught me to prevent further back pain 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 cuddled and snored; the  next time nature called 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*
• Actually,  Daddy Bear wasn't in bed with me  last night! o_O  I couldn't  call upstairs for  PIG mum  to please find and give him back coz then she'd see Elf was still wearing her sock but Era tugged the sock off Elf first thing this morning. XD
• Around 9am PIG mum begins her daily noisy  a-THUMPING around upstairs, which wakes me for one final  pot :P trip. Soon, she's let herself into my room  to hit me with the eye goo. When Louiza hasn't arrived by 9:45pm sharp she enters my  room and snaps "Fifteen more minutes";  I immediately comply but reply I'm sure Louiza's just stuck in traffic;  when she arrives tell her to  help me up @ 9:45am.
• Sure enough, that's exactly what happens! Once I've counted down from 900, I swing myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle and announce that I'm hungry to Louiza. She's inside the bathroom @ that time and comes immediately; we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. After drinking one full mug of water, I  sit over the loo proper. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 
• After washing and drying Era, I head out to   the gobbling :P  table with Louiza. Breakfast's my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of  dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly  spread with    avocado,  another full mug of water,  all  my   usual drugs :P   and my   first big mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey.  After the parents leave for koala-viewing, I ask Louiza to please add a slice of cheese  to the toast but  obviously don't take another photo. XD Over and after breakfast I happily  read for thirty minutes first up, reaching pg. 150 @ 10:16pm.
• While Louiza closes and locks windows, I use the loo for one more tinkle. After climbing into the passenger seat of her car she tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace and parks around the side before grabbing a trolley for us.
• We buy groceries from Coles and then my honey chicken sushi roll from The Sushi Creators.  As we're nearing the store, the dude behind the counter looks up,  sees and recognises me and just holds up one finger? I reply with a thumbs up; once I  reach the counter he's already handing the packaged sushi  to Louiza saying "$4.60." Louiza asks me, when did you order?  I grin and mime back to her our silent conversation and she laughs. XD
• Back home I take a nice hot shower -  hairwash today. Also thanks to Louiza who helps me rinse out my  hair,  thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch  was two more big mugs of  white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey and the delicious air  fryer tofu I cooked yesterday  with   Ari plus rice and lotsa vegetables!
• At 12:55pm I sat over the loo for   two  more tinkles then  signed Louiza off with my thanks and byes;  she's back next Thursday 9:30am till like  1:30pm  and heading down to the Gold Coast tonight!
• Once I've used up  the most important two hours of my day I'll use the loo then sit and read for a good long while; it's only Saturdays that I  can spend a blessed three hours reading~
• Toms: just  church, nothing special. Oh, the special  thing's we're holding our own FIFA World Cup! Obviously I'm too disabled to play but   will join  the picnic lunch and Pastor Peter will gimme a lift there and drop me home afterwards~
• Righteo, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing Sunday  ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^
