Sunday Post 330c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2606. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

  • Back home I used the loo for one tinkle then sat   to  munch arvo  tea (my honey chicken  sushi roll plus one huge mug of fruit tea) and read for two more hours, since it's only  Thursday that I can  spend a   blessed three hours reading~  This arvo I reached pg. 444 @ 4:26pm, finished arvo   tea @ exactly  4:30pm, reached pg.  459  @ 4:38pm and FINISHED THE BOOK @ 3:52pm! EVERYTHING was finished @ 3:54pm and after one tinkle I immediately continued with the Matthew Reilly book Georgia had kindly got for me! I reached page  twenty-five @  exactly 4:30pm!
  • Reading finished, I used the loo for  one  tinkle then plopped online and read today's Bible  verses. After one more tinkle I plopped online for myself.
  • Happily   watched the 6pm   news bulletin (Nine's)  for the 169TH time). All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of today's first post.
  • Only  twenty minutes left,  so just  super-briefly:
  • used loo, had dinner, drank   tea, took cup  to sink, returned online, rang Aunty Lai then  used the loo for one more tinkle afterwards.
  • Toms: just church, definitely nothing  special. Would love lunch out with other ESS peers afterwards but expecting just   a cheeseburger with fad @ Hungry Jack's then a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum. *sigh*
  • Anyways,  looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 330b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2545 (See? Told you I'd crack  2.5 grand! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Walk Through It'. Righteo, continuing today's events?

  • After counting  down from 900, I announce to  Georgia that I'm hungry and swing myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle. We  get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom  and brush teeth (my last time using my Harry Potter toothpaste; can't  brush my teeth with magic anymore XD), drink one tall cup of water then 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 Georgia. Breakfast is my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry  (unbuttered)  toast very lightly spread with  avocado, all  my usual drugs :P  and my first big mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful  of honey. Over and after breakfast I happily read for thirty minutes.
  • While  Georgia closed and locked windows, I used the loo  for one more tinkle, washed and dried Era then climbed into the passenger seat of  Georgia's Echo.
  • Georgina tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace, parks out the front  and grabs a trolley for us.
  • PIG mum only wants a jug of milk today and afterwards I head over to Sushi Creators and grab my honey chicken  sushi  roll before Georgia tootles me home and I  take a nice hot  shower -  hairwash today. Also thanks to Georgia who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing  Era to hold my stupid  right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed  and rekitted, lunch is  one bowl  of rice leftovers (thanks to Georgie who added some  soya sauce for me) and two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful  of  honey. I happily read for another thirty-five minutes, finishing pg. 425 @ 12:44pm.
  • PIG mum gets home just when I'm about to  sit over the loo for two  more tinkles. Georgia tootles me off to  church  to play table tennis with dearest  there; after arrival I  sign  her  off  with my  thanks and byes. She's back next Friday and probably   taking me to  the NAB foor two hours' physio, provided they don't cancel again!
  • Had  great fun playing with  dad  who lemme win again~ Only he SMASHED a ball into my lower lip! ><" XD I told  PIG mum she'd better bok him for  me. XD
    Cheers,
    Em. ^

Saturday Post 330

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2422 steps (so trust I'll have reached 2.5 grand before the day's  out  XD); secondly, John  Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Jesus Keeps His Sheep'; thirdly,  TWFT topic's 'You Need More Of The Holy Spirit (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Serving God, Not Self'  but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 169TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like the  previous two nigh today. Brisbane toms: ts, nature didn't call until  6:30am and after one pot :P trip I  did the two   bed  exercises Winnie taught me to prevent further back  pain and then I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • The next  time nature called (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*
  • PIG mum beginning her daily noisy 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 going  back outside and awaiting Georgia's arrival. 
  • After PIG mum lets Georgia inside, she instructs her to gimme fifteen more minutes.  Daddy  Bear acknowledges with a paw nod before imperiously waving her away. XD
  • Cheers,
    Em. ^^
    P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm  news (Nine's, read by Mia Glover) for  the 169TH time: Trump, Ha-teya (first name), Gripske, Algie, Prior, Inskip, Lambe, Lee, Dossett, Burke, Kimmel (heard), Fallon (heard), Minaj (heard), Tomasi, Croucher, Husic (heard), Foran, Trbovejic, Burns,  Abdo, Hasem (first name), Albanese, Gillard (heard), Abbott (heard), Amalee (first name), Saunders, O'Connor, Sinclair, Chalmers, Pallister, Shayna (first name, heard), Jack (first  name, Sorby (heard), Lomax (heard),  Manu (heard), Seibold (heard), heard), Forrester (heard), Hani  (first name), Ha-teya (first name), Gripske, Makenna (first  name), Baily, O'Leary, Masilia (first name, heard), Aili (heard) Lebron (first name), James, Pogocar, Hardwick, Prince, Heinke, Koutsofis, Marshall, Mimi (first name), Becker, Omololu (first name), Jiselle (first name),  Manning, Clark, Winter (heard), and Cormier.  Dominique Loudon read the sports report and and -Luke Bradnam  read  the weather report from Main Beach.  Mt.

Friday Post 330c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 4570. Ha,  I'm just over 4.5  grand; that's even less common than four grand! XD Anyways, final, final  events for  tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post, I started reading  and sharing my Facebook memories.
  • At 9pm, I  walked  myself  once more slowly and safely to the loo  for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Toms:  Georgia's back minding me from 9:30am till  1pm, if  I've not scared her away.   XD Presuming  we'll buy my honey  chicken  sushi    roll from  Underwood MarketPlace plus any groceries PIG mum  wants from  Woolies before  coming home for  a shower and lunch. Fingers crossed Georgia will gimme three big mugs of white tea with  sweetener!
  • She'll drop me off @ church to play table tennis with dearest dad before leaving  @ 1pm;  after getting home I'm planning  to read all arvo since it's only Saturdays that I  can spend a blessed three hours reading. Oh, will ask Georgia to please find me a new  book  to read for toms arvo; surely I'll finish the Carmody one toms??
  • Maybe I'll watch  the  6pm  news bulletin  for the 169TH time but only if  dad waits for me  to eat  dinner! Otherwise I'll skip the  news to have dinner with him~
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing  week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Friday Post 330b

 Heylo again  and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 4496 (so will  definitely pass 4.5 grand before   the night's out, sweet XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "Recognise Your Shepherd's Voice". Righteo, continuing events for Friday?

  • For breakfast I munch 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 worries, I just  lick the plate clean afterwards XD), one full mug of  water, all my usual  drugs :P and another mug of unsweetened Milo. 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 Georgia please to gimme sun  sunscreen (face and both  hands)  then she walks behind me  back to   the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast  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 backseat of Georgia's car and she tootles me off to Calamvale Central to get a haircut and buy groceries from Woolies. Thanks to her who kindly helped me with my seatbelt all day and phew, this time there was a disabled park available on arrival.
  • Didn't haveta wait for my  haircut - and duk'm'duk  was my hairdresser!  I have awful facial recognition so didn't know  'twas her but after the haircut finished she asked me, duk mmm duk and I  was like,  ohh, you!! XD I like haircuts here because it's the only time I'm instructed to look down; usually PIG mum just  screeches @ me to look up! 
  • Georgia brings a trolley  and we hike to the end and buy groceries for PIG mum. On the way back to the carpark I use the loo for one tinkle since we're headed to Underwood Park next and I'm unsure are there any toilets there.
  • At Underwood Lake I take a hike around the path and enjoy a lie-down in the sunlounge. I tell Geoorgia to  lie down on  your own sunlounge but she says nah and just sits cross-legged on  the low stone wall behind me and we chat. Pity we didn't see any turtles today  but Gimpy the water dragon appeared; he's so named since he's lost the tip  of his tail! o_O
  • When Georgia drove me home, PIG mum rang when we'd just entered Allan Cresc., demanding where are you?! You've got  OT @ 2pm, once Georgia leaves! I reply relax we've just turned  into   Yvonne Rd.
  • So a nice hot quickest shower for  me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Georgia who helped me  rinse out my  hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted lunch  was a tomato and onion toastie with only one slice of cheese and one huge mug of herbal  tea.
  • At 1:55am I sat over the loo  once more for  two tinkles then sat while PIG mum signed Georgia off (she's back 9:30am toms)  and let Ari inside.
    Ela did one hour of unfunctional exercises with   Era and then Era practised some handwriting by  writing out the recipe we're gonna cook  next  Friday! I told Ari I'd need line paper to write straight and she drew lines for me!
  • When Ari left I used the loo   for one tinkle then  sat down to have arvo tea (one plain cracker, one gloopy mouthful  of delicious passionfruit and another huge mug of  herbal tea) and read the Carmody novel  for one hour. Today I reached pg. 375 @ 4:21pm and finished arvo  tea @ 3:43pm.
  • Used loo for one tinkle, did my  daily Bible reading, plopped online for myself and watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 168TH time. All  the things I like recording are @ the bottom of the previous post. PIG mum got  dad to have dinner with  her but  without me @ 6:10pm. *sigh*
  • Receiving permission to come to dinner once the news ends, I use the loo for one tinkle, wash   and dry   Era then walk myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy  wombok, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup  potato, lotsa soup  onion anda little of PIG mum's salty meat brisket. Since the parents were already relaxing on the sofa watching YouTube, I  allowed Ela to rest in  my lap and both legs up onto  the foot rest and stuffed the  teatowel Peggy  uses for me  when I'm  eating my Tuesday bahn mi and enjoyed not having to  lean forward when I eat.
  • Dinner was washed down  with a third mug of herbal tea;  after taking the cup over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl   after  one last tinkle @ 9pm with my  final, final  plodding total for today, the final, final events for  tonight plus what's happening toms, else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Friday Post 330

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4326 steps (sweet I'm over four grand; that that doesn't happen very often!); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'How To Defy Sinful  Desire'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'You Need More Of The Holy Spirit (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Anchored In  God' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still  owed FIFTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 168TH time!! Anyways, events for  today?

  • Yay,  what better way to end the working week than with my second awesome consecutive sleep last night? Like  yesterday, nature didn't call until 6:30am, and after  one pot  :P  trip I immediately did the 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 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 the new carer's (Georgia's) arrival.
  • After she arrives and PIG mum instructs her to  gimme fifteen more minutes I'm  counting  down from 900 when suddenly the phone  starts ringing! I call "Phone!" and pray that it's UQ ringing no physio; when  PIG mum enters my room to pickup the phone  she mutters "It'd better not be the NAB ringing to cancel your appointment" but hallelujah, it was! :D XD
  • When  Georgia returns she tried to get me up, but  since she doesn't touch me and only  uses words I  just ignore her. XD When  she returns with PIG mum and I get poked in the face, I've gotta get up. XD In  her defence, she caressed my face, not poked.  XD
  • I use the pot :P  for one more tinkle and introduce myself to Georgia. Wow, she's only twenty-one and I'm her first ever client for CODA!! I feel privileged that Michelle trusts me to be a compliant client for  her very first shift. XD
  • We get me  kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush  teeth  before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Georgia, who tells me that she had three Weet-Bix for breakfast. Just like me, she's a Weet-Bix kid!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
    P.S. All the interesting  surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's, read by Melissa Downes and Joel Dry) for the168TH time: Perrett, Trump  (heard), Millward, Herrero, Croucher, Albanese (heard), McGoverne, Frecklington, Griffith (heard), Ha-teya (first name), Conroy, Burnham (heard), Gripske, Purdie, Pointing, Marles, Jamieson (first  name), Greer, Chalmers (heard), Wilson, Greenslade, Rinehart (heard), Hodge (heard), Kennedy (heard), Marcolina, Godfrey, Herbert (heard), McCrae, Hannay,  Jenkins (heard), Bellamy (heard), Leidwanger, Munster (heard), Walters, Haas, Munster (heard), Maguire, Payten, Dearden (heard), Purdue (heard), Clifford (heard), Fox, Makenna (first name), Baily Farage, Angwin, Sinclair, Monika (first name), Kalkar, Wheeler, Armstrong, Issacs, Singh (heard), Pullar, Speer (heard), Martin, Mimi (first  name), Becker, Sheehy, Thomas (heard), Tadros, Hughes, Balme, Volpato and Kohler.

  • 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.

  • Once  the news ended I called out and asked the parents to  please summon me over for dinner once it's ready.

  • Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy wombok, lotsa soup  carrot, lotsa soup  tomato, lotsa soup onion and a little yummy salty  steamed meat brisket.
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl  over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

  • Suddenly I remembered that I'd forgotten to read for five more minutes after dinner and returned to do that! See, I like reading for one hour everyday when possible~
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip  @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening Friday else wishing everyone a smashing end to  the week toms!

Thursday Post 330

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1655 steps (ha, I'm over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Preach To Yourself'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Step Out And Do It!' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Prepared To Help'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until  6:30am, and after one pot :P trip I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. 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 noisy PIG mum begins her   daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let  herself into my  room to hit me with the eye goo and give por Elf  a  very brief rub, since she'd totally ignored my poor  foot last night. Actually, she'd hit me with  the eye goo last night then left me to get myself to bed; since dearest dad had already headed  upstairs also, I scooted the kitchen chair to the  fridge and got the milk, scooted to the benchtop and poured myself one mouthful, scooted back to  the fridge to replace the milk  then scooted back  to the dining table and left the chair in it's original position. XD Yay also that Elf wore her sock  to sleep last night although obviously Era peeled the sock off first thing this morning! XD
  • When Morine hadn't arrived @ 8:01pm, PIG mum opened the bedroom door and snapped @ me, "She's not here Fifteen more minutes."  I immediately complying, asking  PIG mum please  to ring CODA on-call should she not have arrived by 8:10am.
  • Phew she arrives shortly afterwards and PIG mum instructs her to  help me up @ 8:15am.
  • When Morine taps me @ 8:15am, I sit up, say good morning  and use the pot :P for three more tinkles. Sure enough, she'd been stuck in traffic this morning.
  • We get me kitted, I head over to  the bathroom and brush teeth before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and dry Era, I 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  thinly spread with avocado and hopefully very thinly sprinkled with salt, one full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and another mug of Milo. Thanks to Morine who turns on Sunrise 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 finishing breakfast, I ask Morine please to gimme (both hands, face and neck) some sunscreen then she walks behind me back to the bathroom then returns to the kitchen  and washes 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 Morine's  car (what luxury! Last night I enjoyed a ride in a BMW that had a SEAT WARMER and today I got a ride in Morine's Lexus! :D) and she tootles me off to GGCW! She kinda gets lost and doesn't park outside the library, meaning it's a longer than usual  hike for me, hence why I skip the initial bathroom  visit since I'm already ten minutes late but the meeting doesn't start until after I arrived and Nancy still  arrives LATER than me! XD
  • Nine attended today, Tammy helped me once to   the bathroom @ morning tea time and Merlyn brought tiramisu CAKE and I even got seconds! :D Actually I even had 3rds and 4ths since she left me the last two slices and I  said I'd share one with Morine but Morine said nah you enjoy I've already eaten! There's three weeks until the  next meeting and homework's A face in the mirror.
  • The meeting ended ten minutes early but since Morine and I stayed behind for cake and I used the loo once more before leaving I showered half-fast  after arriving home since Morine was leaving  @ 1:30pm.  Also, I bumped into Sarah Shakibaie (sp?) She was walking with one bub (maybe preschool-age?) and pushing another in a baby stroller but  said "Hi, Em!" when I  walked towards her (at the returns machine of the library). I've got awful facial recognition but phew, identified her.  XD
  • Showered half-fast after arriving home - hairwash today. Also thanks to Morine 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 bowl  of rice leftovers plus one huge mug of powdered HK-style milk tea.  Alas that today marks one whole WEEK since I last enjoyed a proper meal out  but fingers crossed another comes soon!
  • Only thirty minutes left, so just  briefly: took cup to sink, used loo for one tinkle, washed and dried  Era then read my daily Bible passages before popping online.
  • Tonight's ice cream night, yay! Like I say every week,  a very little's better than none  @ all!
  • Toms:  TBA which carer's helping me up  then taking me to the NAB for  two hours' physio with Vincent but I've emailed Michelle and hopefully  she'll  reply soon.
  • That  carer will see me home, showered and fed with lunch  before Ari comes to give Ela one hour of  unfunctional exercises @ like 2:30pm. 
  • Don't think I've got anything happening after she leaves; looking forward to reading the Carmody book for another hour then watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 168TH time, provided I  can  watch it for the 167TH time tonight!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing end to  the week toms!
    Cheers,

 Good  evening and  one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total  for  Wednesday now stands @ 3734 and secondly, Joni's devotional  topic's 'The Business Of Doing  The  Impossible' but thirdly  and way most importantly, I'll really  still be owed ONE HOUR and SIX MINUTES online should PIG mum really boot me  off to bed @ 9:45pm!! >< But just noting down that PIG mum and I went to Underwood Marketplace and bought knickers from KMart and groceries from  Coles before Lana took me to table tennis -  for the first time in one MONTH there was CAKE and there'll be cake next week too! :D I thought Lana was in her seventies/eighties but she's not  even  sixty yet! But she left @ 6:01pm  after I'd showered and she'd cleaned the bathroom, even though her shift doesn't  finish till 6:30pm. Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 166TH time, wolfed down dinner @ 6:30pm, sat over the loo for two more tinkles @ 7pm  and Jenny gave me a lift to GG @ 7:15pm! Have finished that little booklet; we're now studying sth with Canva and today's title was You're Married To Christ. Toms I've forgotten who's taking me to  GCCW  but don't have anything happening afterwards. Hope everyone's having a smashing  week!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

 Heylo and good afternoon again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 1876 but  secondly  and way more importantly,  I('m  really still owed ONE HOUR and EIGHTEEN MINUTES online after I get home from  GG tonight; argh, it's looking like the SECOND CONSECUTIVE DAY when I'll not get the ENTIRETY of the most IMPORTANT two hours of the day online!! >< *sigh* Anyways,  events for today?

  • Aww, nature called around 12:45am  and denied me the chance to start another awesome sleep  streak. *sigh* Never mind, 'twas a sound asleep aside from it~
  • 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. Can't  remember did nature call again around 7:45am but it definitely did once more around 9am, just before noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself  into my   room  to hit me with the eye goo and help me very  slightly with  absolutely nothing but the bra strap and laying  out my 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. ^^

Monday Post 330c

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 5125. Anyways, final, final  events for tonight?

  • After washing and drying Era, I climb into  the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt. PIG mum tootles me off to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture, just parking on the driveway. Pity dad couldn't drive me today; he'd park by the gate. *sigh*
  • At Ray's, I use the loo for one  tinkle then lie  down for some acupuncture and massage. PIG mum's in her element yapping ceaselessly  @ Ray; her record today's repeating five syllables before continuing. XD My grateful thanks to Ray who always replies and keeps a conversation flowing.
  • After one more tinkle, PIG mum tootles us home for lunch, where dad has oven-baked pizza and brunchy  garlic bread for us; PIG mum even gives me seconds, score! Just pity that the portions are so *tiny* ><" XD
  • After washing lunch down with one mug of  fruit tea I take the cup back to the sink and walk myself slowly  and safely back online,  always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. At 1:55pm I sit over the loo once more for two tinkles.
  • The new carer's forty-one, already  has two kids and she's from  the Philippines! I shared with her the two Filipino phrases I knew; she nodded approvingly @  the  thank you then roared with laughter  when I sheepishly told her you are fat. XD
  • Breathe physio today: 1.515km 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 extensions for Erf,, forty leg extensions for Elf,, forty leg curls for Elf, forty leg curls for Erf, tennis ball throwing and catching for Era and boxing !
  • After I used the loo for one more tinkle the carer tootled us off to Sunny Park to buy one box of three-pack facial tissues from Woolies, grabbing a trolley for us on arrival.
  • Score the cashier snuck me a $30 card  pack  after the first  wouldn't! :D Will open it toms with Peggy~
  • Got home and took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to  the carer 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 cracker and one cup  of milk tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey after I told the carer I didn't want herbal tea! Happiness was reading the Isobelle Carmody book for one hour; today I reached  pg. 275 @ 5:16pm.
  • Less than  fifteen minutes left, so  just super-briefly: watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 164TH time, used loo for one tinkle, ate dinner (leftovers from last night plus lotsa boiled vegetables), drank soup, took bowl to  sink, returned online and used loo  for one more tinkle @ 9pm.
  • Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till like 4pm. She'll help me up, take me to  Pinelands Plaza for grocery shopping and bahn mi buying for  lunch; after coming home for lunch she'll drive me to the NAB for two hours' physio then see me home and showered before leaving  @ 4pm.
  • Can't  remember: did PIG mum say I could read my    daily Bible passages first/did she want me to complete GCCW homework for her first?
  • Looking forward to  reading the Isobelle Carmody book for one hour  and watching the 6pm news for  the  165TH time!
  • Anyways,  hope  everyone has a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Monday Post 330b

 Good  evening again! Em's new plodding total  for tonight's exactly 5000. Ha, I'm half a normal person  today. XD Anyways, events for today?

  • Grr, I was one night from starting an awesome sleep  streak but nature denied me!! >< Never mind, 'twas a sound sleep   aside from that~ *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*
  • Daddy Bear and  I happily cuddle and snore, nature calling again once more around 9am. Shortly afterwards, PIG mum  begins  her noisy daily   a-THUMPING around upstairs and soon, she's let herself into  my room  to hit me with  the eye goo  and help  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  returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully  FORCE :( me to  walk over too the bathroom and brush teeth. Unsure why she waited so late before waking me; I had to bang the wall after I'd mostly independently kitted myself and ask her to please quickly finish with Elf's AFO straps and both laces but she meandered away and I didn't exit the bedroom until just after  9:50am! You know I  feel like I've wasted the entire day should I be back in bed for another night's sleep should I enter the bedroom again before twelve hours passed since I exited it! >< Never mind, plan of attack: brush teeth slowly and sit over loo for a good long while; hopefully twelve hours will have passed when I re-enter the room. *sigh*
  • After brushing  teeth, 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.
  • For breakfast this morning, PIG mum saved me one more of the sausage buns I'd made with her recently! The silly sausage was so  terrified of being eaten he tried to leap from the bread as  he was heading for my mouth but since I remember to  LEAN FORWARD while I eat he only landed on his original saucer and met a very glorious death inside my hungry tummy. XD I also pop all  my usual drugs :P and drain one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • After breakfast, I walk myself  slowly and safely back to the loo, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Sunday Post 330c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3787. Anyways, final, final events for  tonight?

  • After I flipped the nice hot water  off and PIG mum dried my back for me, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until my bra strap  needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
  • After I dried the loo seat, I sat for  one tinkle, stamped both  feet dry, dried inside both ears, washed  and dried Era then walked myself slowly and safely  back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Did my weekly file backup  then happily watched the 6pm  news for  the 164TH time. All the things I like recording  are @ the bottom  of today's first post.
  • Used the loo for one tinkle  then had our once-weekly family dinner  out @ Ho Lin Wah. Ate almost (but not  quite) one bowl of rice, a small half  bowl of thin   soupy ho  fan, a big half bowl of  fried Hokkien noodles while drinking one cup of  Chinese tea, half a cup of unsweewtened soya bean milk  and just over one mouthful of  the hot  HK-style milk tea.
  • Back home I walked myself slowly and safely  back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • At 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: PIG mum'll help  me  up, since I've got a late morning appointment  to se3 Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Bet she's simply DYING to yap unceasingly   @ him.
  • Over breakfast toms morning I'll check    my email and see has Michelle filled in the TBA for tomorrow's 2-6pm shift; if she hasn't, I'll haveta ring.
  • Got    Breathe physio @ 2:30pm toms. Presuming we'll buy groceries afterwards before coming home for personal care.
  • Fingers crossed I can read the Isobelle Carmody  book for one hour and watch  the 6pm news bulletin for the 165TH time toms night!
  • Anyways, wishing everyone a smashing week  ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new  plodding  total  for Sunday now stands @ 3565 (ha, I'm just over 3.5 grand XD) and secondly,  Joni's devotional topic's 'The Royal Official'.  Righteo, continuing today's events?

  • Once the most important two hours of the day were  up, I used the  loo  for one tinkle, washed and dried Era then sat @ the gobbling :P peeled a banana for arvo tea, munched one plain  cracker, drank one huge mug of arvo  tea then finished sharing my Facebook memories then reading the Isobelle Carmody book for forty-seven minutes before  PIG mum ordered me off to  shower.
  • So a nice hot shower for me  - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I  also  softly, slowly  but most hatefully sang 20% of  shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was already done after only 9%, but happily leaned fully   against the right side rail and watered myself  for  another tinkle before calling PIG mum  back.
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

Sunday Post 330

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3571 steps (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "God's Grace In Spiritual Gifts'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Be Steadfast' and fourthly, Our Daily  Bread's devotional topic's  'The God Who Saves'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Actually, initially sleep wouldn't come and I   already used the pot :P once @ 11:35pm before I finally fell asleep but then I snored soundly until  PIG mum's daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs woke me! Only I  was still too asleep to fully wake and use the pot :P I   stayed barely awake until PIG mum let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo @ 7am before using the pot :P for one tinkle.
  • After PIG mum hits me with the eye goo, helps me exceedingly slightly with the bra strap and  laying out both  my   tee and jumper she leaves me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I  comply with  after immediately struggling into the tops and then 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  sat 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 was one of the delicious sausage buns that I made with PIG mum yesterday! 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*

Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own   seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum  tootles us off to  church and parks outside the haul. I hike up  the ramp, use the disabled  loo for one tinkle myself (yay that the lid's up and seat's down  today), wash and dry Era then grab my usual spot for service on the most left. PIG mum leaves for the Canto service with fourteen minutes to spare.
  • Yay I get to stay seated for  worship today~ I sing everything, plus the harmony for four songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
  • Speaker today was Peter Pie with another sermon from his series How People Change. David interviewed Rosanna afterwards; eep, she shared how once she rang the police after her  dad pulled a knife on her mum! o_O That's prolly  why service ended six minutes early  today~
  • After service, the disabled loo lid  was down and horrid PIG mum  wouldn't lift it for me, meaning I queued in the normal female bathroom until my  turn arrived.  Wonder why PIG mum lifted the lid for me for that one?
  • After washing and drying Era I hiked round the back and sat to munch my packet of Arnott's bikkies plus one little mug of milk tea without sugar. Uncle Simon came over and told me he didn't know who won the England and France World Cup grand final qualifier since he had to leave for church!
  • Today, the rest of ESS enjoyed Vietnamese food for lunch while PIG mum enjoyed her weekly gossip and coffee session with her aunty friends and dragged me back to Hungry Jack's for lunch with him. I  had the smallest chicken burger (chicken royale) twelve chips and half the orange juice.
  • Dad tootled us home, I used the loo for one more tinkle, washed and dried Era  then walked myself slowly  and safely back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Read the  day's Bible passages, used the loo for one more tinkle then   walked myself slowly and safely  back online,  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • PIG mum's already left me some arvo tea and gone upstairs to hit the sack. Once I've used up the two most important hours of my day I'll use the loo for one tinkle,  sit @ the gobbling :P  and finish sharing my Facebook memories before munching arvo tea and reading  for one hour.
  • Toms: presuming PIG mum'll help me up and take me to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture before coming home for lunch  with dearest dad.
  • Presume it's Jacinta taking me to Breathe physio toms arvo; also presume we're buying groceries before coming home for personal care.
  • Looking forward to watching the 6pm news for the 165TH time, provided I can  watch it for the 164TH time tonight!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

  • At 6pm,  I used the loo for one tinkle then sat  @ the loo to read match report after match report and bask in  the Broncos' glory. XD
  • When    dad got home @ 6:40pm I thought   yay we'll have dinner before 7pm and my decision to skip watching the news but  then he took  ages reheating dinner meaning  we didn't eat dinner till after 7pm anyway! >< *sigh*

Saturday Post 331b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for  Saturday now stands @ 4009 (usually I'd say ha, I'm just over four grand but it doesn't feel like I've plodded four thousand steps today?) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Honest Questions'. Righteo, continuing events for today?

  • After washing and drying   Era,  I head out to the gobbling :P table with Jane for my once-weekly   breakfast of a fried egg on one slice of toast very lightly smeared with avocado. I also drink another  tall full cup of  water, pop all my usual drugs :P and enjoy my first big mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey.
  • Over and after breakfast I happily read for thirty minutes, reaching pg. 125 @ 10:11am.
  • While I used the loo for one more tinkle, Jane shut and locked the windows.
  • After climbing into Sally (Sarah's successor XD) Jane tootled us off to Underwood MarketPlace, parked underground and grabbed a trolley for us.
  • Our first stop was Woolies to grab a jug of milk. Tried asking the shop   attendant minding the self-serve checkout would she please round up to $30 and slip  me  one of those packs are currently offering but she replied sorry, no, it's against  the rules.  Hey, @ least I tried! XD
  • After buying groceries we headed over to Sushi Creators and I leant my right hip against the counter while Jane paid for my sushi. The guy  who recognises me saw me coming; when I raised my pointer finger signalling 'one' @ him he just nodded and immediately got a honey chicken sushi for me, so when  Jane reached the front counter too he just told her "Four dollars." Jane turned to me, asking "Aren't you going to order?" I raised my  pointer again and smirked. "I already did! He saw us coming; I  held up one finger and he nodded!" XD
  • Back home I take a nice  hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Jane who helped me  rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was leftover omelette with leftover fried rice;  thanks to Jane who poured me two  more big mugs of white sweetened with one spoonful of honey. Over and after lunch I read for another twenty-five minutes, reaching page 150 @ 1:22pm.
  • At 1:40pm I sit  over the loo  for  two more tinkles before Jane tootles me off to church to play  table tennis with my   dearest dad. At church I use the loo for one more tinkle but when  approaching the building was instructed to sit outside since the  floor  was met from just being mopped! I  sat  down, signing Jane off with my thanks and byes two minutes early. She's back Wednesday  and taking me to  table tennis and after WEEKS there's gonna be CAKE for Justin's 47th/48th  birthday! :D
  • Yay dad lets me win again  today. XD Only I copped  EIGHT body shots from him and he nearly took my right ear off! >< I told him lucky that you  don't actually need your ears to hear. XD
  • Back home I used the loo  for one tinkle then sat @ the gobbling :P  table to munch arvo tea (my yummy honey   chicken sushi  roll plus one huge mug of  fruit  tea) and read for another two hours and fifty-five minutes, since it's only Saturdays that I   can spend a blessed three  hours reading~ Today I finished  pg.  175 @ 2:56pm, finished arvo tea exactly  four minutes later (3pm), took a loo break @ 3:17pm, forgot about pg. 200 but reached pg.  222 @ 4:13pm and finished pg. 225 @ 4:17pm.
  • Used  the loo for one tinkle then read my daily Bible passages before plopping online for myself.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 331

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard  @ work plodding 3734 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Power To Profess Christ';  thirdly, TWFT topic's 'You Will Conquer Your   Jericho (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Road Closed -  Spirit-Led' but  fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still  owed ONE HOUR and FOURTEEN MINUTES online after dinner tonight!! Heading over to the gobbling :P @ 6pm and not watching the news since dearest dad'll get home before 7pm. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until  8am,  and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me using  the pot :P once more when woken by PIG mum's noisy daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let  herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor Elf  a very brief rub, since she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night. That's alright; Era rubbed Elf  for fifteen minutes last night and let her wear her sock  to  sleep, but obviously tugged it off first thing this morning! XD Once PIG mum  leaves to  await Jane's arrival, 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 PIG mum opens the door for Jane @ 9:30am, Jane knocks, opens the door and says "Good morning Em; fifteen more minutes, okay?" Daddy  Bear gives one single paw flop and just like that, she's already closed the door and left, thus denying her the chance to imperiously wave his paw 'shoo!' @ her.  XD
  • 900 seconds later, I loudly announce "Jane,   I'm hungry," and transfer myself over to  the pot :P   for  one more tinkle. She comes, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom  and brush teeth. After drinking one tall cup of water,  I sit over the loo proper. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Friday Post 331c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding  total for Friday now stands @ 6306. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post I continued  reading and sharing my Facebook memories.
  • At 9pm, I  walked  myself once more slowly  and safely  to  the loo for  one more tinkle and back,  again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Toms: Jane's minding me 9:30am till 1pm. Presuming we're buying my arvo  tea sushi roll plus whatever  groceries PIG mum wants from  Woolies before coming home for a shower and lunch. Yay that Jane should gimme three big mugs of white tea with sweetener~
  • She'll also drop me off to church to play table tennis with dearest dad; I'm already looking forward to getting home and spending all arvo  reading since usually it's only Saturdays that I can spend a blessed three hours with my nose buried in a book!
  • Maybe I'll even get  to watch  the news  for  the 164TH time!
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing  weekend ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em.   ^^

Friday Post 331b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for  Friday now stands @ 6271 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Receive The Blessing'. Righteo, 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 begin tipping bins and after one pot :P trip I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddled and snored, me not waking again for  the pot :P until  almost 9am. Shortly afterwards, PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs and soon she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor Elf an  exceedingly  brief  rub, since she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night. That's okay, Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes and let her wear her sock to sleep last night although obviously tugged the sock off first thing this morning! XD
  • After PIG mum lets Gabby inside @ 9:30am, she knocks, bids me good morning then says she'll    come help me up in  fifteen more minutes, okay? Daddy Bear gives one paw nod then imperiously flicks his paw 'shoo!'   @! her; Gabby smirks but wisely withdraws, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum.   XD
  • When she comes back,  I sit up, use the pot :P for three more tinkles and then we get me kitted before I head over to  the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry  Era then head out to  the gobbling :P table with Gabby, rousing @ her for only   drinking coffee for breakfast and not eating anything.
  • Lol, I thought  that I only had a slice of toast very lightly spread with some avocado and hopefully very lightly sprinkled with some salt for breakfast but PIG mum insists that I had a bowl of porridge too! Lol but I  definitely popped all my usual  drugs :P  and drank one full  mug of water. Thanks to Gabby who turned on Sunrise 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*
  • Whoops outta time so just super-briefly:
  • Physio  today: Thumb movements for both hands, one long round standing with resistance, stepping left and forward to bend and pick up ball, hold with both hands, turn to the left and throwing ball, bent to ground to retrieve balls eleven times and walk one loop of the Great Court.
  • Came home, showered and made an omelette with Ari!
  • Watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 163RD time. All the things I like recording  are in the previous post.
  • Used loo  for one tinkle, ate dinner, drank   soup, took bowl to sink and returned online.
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl    after one more tinkle @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events  for tonight plus what's happening  toms,  else hope everyone  has a smashing weekend ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Friday Post 331

  • During the ad break  before the sports report, I  called out to  dad and reminded him please  gimme  dinner  @ 7pm; I wanna be seated on the couch @ 7:30pm to watch the Broncos play Thursday night football!
  • Once  the news  ended, 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.
  • Still, dad took his time reheating dinner  for me, meaning I didn't get started until 7:15pm *sigh* But I wolfed down my  food and was seated on  the couch ten minutes later! Unsure why dad wouldn't gimme mobile access nor lemme put   the footrest up like he'd already done but hey.
  • At halftime we were losing but I believed in  the boys and we WON! Hence why I watched the postmatch before getting myself  to  sleep, zzz~

  • There wasn't enough time to read for one hour today;  after finishing arvo tea I used the loo for one more tinkle, washed and dried Era then walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Hope everyone has a lovely end to  the week toms!

Thursday Post 331

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4448 steps (aww, how come I couldn't have plodded four steps fewer?? 4444 would've looked cooler! But yay that I'm over four grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional  topic from last night's 'We Work By Grace'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Acquire A Taste For God's Word"  and fourthly, Our Daily  Bread's devotional topic's 'Who Do You Need?' Anyways, events for today?

  • Aww, nature prevented me from starting an awesome sleep streak last night! >< Never mind, I was prolly just too excited that I was meeting Reverend Chris and Pastor Grace for our once-termly lunch today.  *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 dearest dad comes to kiss me bye and retuck me back into bed,  saying he's getting his eyes checked today!
  • More happy cuddling and snoring from Daddy Bear and me, nature calling once more around 9am just before PIG mum begins her noisy 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 alright, Era rubbed Elf for fifteen minutes and let her wear her sock to sleep though obviously peeled the sock off first thing this morning! XD
  • After PIG mum lets Louiza inside @ 9:30am, she knocks, opens the door and says "Hi Em;  I'll help you up in fifteen, okay?" Daddy Bear gives one paw nod that imperiously flicks his paw 'shoo!' @ her;  Louiza smirks and wisely closes the door, leaving us be and thus saving  her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
  • Once I've counted down from 900 I announce to Louiza that I'm hungry and swing myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle. She immediately  comes, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth before sitting over the loo  for one tinkle.  After washing and drying Era I head out to the gobbling :P table with Louiza, rousing @ her for  skipping breakfast this morning and informing her that she'd buy herself some breakfast while I was enjoying lunch with Pastor Grace and Reverend Chris today. XD
  • For breakfast I  had one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and for some reason the PLATE (not the bread) very lightly sprinkled with salt (hence why I licked the plate clean afterwards XD), all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • After breakfast,  Louiza walks behind me back  to the bathroom then returns to the kitchen and washes 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! 
  • Then I take a sizzling hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Louiza who  helped me rinse out my  hair, thus freeing Era to hold my  stupid right eye tight shut. Apparently, hot showers aren't  good for you but cold ones are? I don't care; it's like the middle of Winter now; I'm freezing my socks and I need a HOT shower! Promise I'll return to warm showers once Spring  arrives.  XD
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted I return to the gobbling :P table and wait while Louiza cleans the bathroom. After one more tinkle, I wash and dry  Era before climbing into the backseat of Louiza's car and she tootles me off to Calamvale Central to enjoy my once termly lunch with Reverend Chris and Pastor Grace @ Lucky Cafe!
  • Unfortunately all the disabled parks are gone meaning I've gotta cross the road before catching the lift up  to where Lucky Cafe is. I hike to the back where the comfy sofa seats are then note with dismay that neither set meal (A's some curry with rice dish and B's some XO sauce dish) sets me, but luckily PIG mum left me twenty-five bucks in case and so I picked this baked fish rice  in cream sauce with a cold HK-style milk tea (Lucky Cafe doesn't offer mocha!) and three curry fish ball set for $24.70! I'm not a fan of curry but the fish balls were so  delicious I  had two; when Pastor Grace asked could she please try one of course I said yes! I offered the third to Reverend Chris but he replied no thanks.
  • Grace told me to ring Louiza for pickup after I'd finished and they left exactly one hour after arriving. After Louiza came I asked her are we going back down to your car and you'll drive around to the other end of Calamvale Central before we buy groceries for mother but she replied no, your mum orders you walk all the way there and back. No biggie, but huge thanks to Louiza who got us a trolley first and during that trip I  sang 47% of my shorter second-favourite song  softly, slowly but most hatefully out aloud, closing the left eye for all the important numbers.
  • Back home I quickly used the  loo for one more tinkle and asked Louiza to please help me remove the bra before signing her off with my thanks and byes.  She's back 8am next Thursday for GCCW!
  • Once  I've used up the most important two hours of my day I'll use the loo   for one tinkle then sit and eat the arvo tea PIG mum kindly left me before returning online and watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 162ND time!
  • Have reminded  both parents to please gimme dinner @ 7pm since coverage of the Broncos vs.  Panthers game begins @ 7:30pm! But good grief: the Broncos have already lost the past  SIX and are playing the PANTHERS tonight ... *cringe*
  • Best of all, it's ice cream night tonight;  like I  always say, a very little's better than none @ all!
  • Toms: can't  remember who's coming @ 8am, helping me up and taking me to  the NAB for my final  NAB session with  Sarah but it's Fun Shirt Friday!
  • Also can't remember what I'm cooking with the OT but   pretty sure it's  cooking week ... well,  PIG mum'll decide.
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

Wednesday Post 331b

 Heylo again, good evening and oone final  greeting for tonight! Have already logged Wednesday's plodding total @ 2500, so just noting  down that Joni's devotional topic's 'He Sings A Melody  Over You' but way most importantly, that I'm really still owed FORTY-NINE MINUTES online should PIG mum order me off to bed @ the piss-early time of 9:45!! >< But noting down that I had great  fun @ Toastmasters last night and enjoyed my   3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night (bid Daddy Bear sweet  dreams,  fell asleep and didn't wake till 7:45am. Hiked around Underwood Lake with PIG mum  this morning before coming home for lunch then Jane took me to play table tennis  but good grief,  traffic was terrible and even though  we left  @ 4:15pm we didn't get home till 5:40pm! Couldn't source a ride to the first GG of term three so went to church   and played table tennis with dearest dad again~ Toms Louiza's minding me from 9:30am  but @ midday we're meeting Pastor Grace for lunch  @ Lucky Cafe! Will get home and shower before Louiza goes @ 2:30pm. Have asked PIG mum to please gimme dinner @ 7pm since the Broncos are playing the Panthers @ 7:50pm and it's a MUST WIN should the Broncos take the premiership again!! Fat chance, I know ... ><"  XD

Cheers,
Em. ^^

Monday Post 330d

 One final good evening and greeting  for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @  2504. Ha, I'm literally just over 2.5 grand. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • Forgot to  add boxing to  the end of today's physio list! XD
  • After one loo trip I  climbed back into Jacinta's car and she tootled us off to buy groceries from the Sunny Patk  Woolies. I like grocery shopping with the carers more than the parents since they lemme sit on the self-serve checkout.
  • Best of all,  there's enough change for a soft serve from Maccas before  returning home!
  • Take a nice hot shower -  hairwash today. Also  thanks to Jacinta who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right  eye tightly  shut
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea's one yummy  banana, one plain cracker and TWO big mugs of white tea with one spoonful of honey  since Jacinta's found where sneaky   PIG mum's hidden  the honey! I happily read for one hour, reaching pg. 111 @ 5:36pm.
  • At  5:55pm I sit over the loo for two tinkles then sign Jacinta off with my  thanks and byes. Not seeing her for two/three weeks now; she's heading interstate with her boyfriend/partner and visiting their family!
  • Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 161ST time. All the things I like  recording  are @ the bottom of today's first post.
  • Almost outta time,  so just briefly: had the usual  boiled, bland and tasteless dinner,   read for another fifteen minutes (since I like reading for one hour each day where possible;  I reached pg. 111 @ 7:57pm), returned online then used loo for  one more tinkle @ 9pm.
  • Toms: Peggy's minding me from  9:30am till 4pm. She'll  help me up, take me to Pinelands Coles to buy groceries and get a bahn mi   for lunch from the Pinelands Bakehouse, take  me to  UQ physio for two hours then see me home and showered before leaving  @ 4pm.
  • Still waiting for  CODA to lemme know who's taking me to  Toastmasters toms night ...
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day  toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Monday Post 330c

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding  total for Monday now stands @ 2460 (so will have hopefully  reached 2.5 grand before tonight ends XD) but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed SEVENTEEN MINUTES  online after using the loo once more  @ 9pm!! Anyways, continuing Monday's events?

  • Breakfast is one slice of  dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully    very lightly sprinkled with  toast,  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 online, 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 the Chery and buckle my own  seatbelt. The parents climb inside too and dearest dad tootles me off to see Ray  for  some  acupuncture and massage.  Yay, I like it   when   dad drives since he'll park right by  the fence unlike PIG mum, who just parks up the driveway.

  • Dad  drops PIG mum and I off then heads for Bunnings, saying he'll pick us  up in one hour. PIG mum and I hike inside and greet Ray,  welcoming him  back from his interstate holidays. Mostly I'm just  disappointed he forgot  to  bring me back   a souvenir. XED

  • I use the loo for one tinkle then lie down for some massage and acupuncture.  PIG mum must've missed her chance to yap these past two weeks while Ray was interstate hence made up for  it today, repeating multiple syllables before continuing. XD My grateful  thanks  to  Ray who  always replied and kept a conversation flowing. Me, I liked the shoulder  CPR the best. Oh,  Elf's thigh felt the good pain I've grown to understand! 

  • After one more tinkle, dad picked us up and tootled us home. I booted up the  computer and started reading the  day's Bible passages  while the parents reheated lunch  and summoned me when it was ready.

  • Lunch was  one bowl  of  tasteless rice leftovers and spooned down with a bowlful of  soup. After taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely  back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

  • At 1:55pm I  sat over the loo  for two tinkles then was by  the door awaiting Jacinta's arrival  @ 2pm.

  • Jacinta arrived, I climbed into   the passenger seat of  her  car, she kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt (as she kindly  did all day) then tootled me off to Breathe for physio. We arrive early enough to have ten minutes to play on our phones before Jacinta takes me  in, leaves me  with Winnie then goes and buys herself some lunch.

  • Physio today: 1.616km bike ride, forty bar-assissted push ups with left weight shift, forty steps for Erf with more left weight shift, forty steps for Elf, forty v-bar cable rows for both hands, forty leg extensions for Elf, forty leg extensions for Erf, forty leg curls for Elf, forty leg curls 
    Cheers,
