Monday Post 327f

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3245. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post, I started reading and sharing today's Facebook memories.
  • 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:  Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm. PIG mum said we'll just buy groceries from Coles Pinelands and get my bahn mi for lunch; unsure why she's not   sending us for walkies @ Underwood Park? Prolly coz I'm still waiting for my new AFO~ Will chase Peter about it toms arvo but apparently it takes @ least three weeks to make?
  • Jacinta's down to take me to Toastmasters toms night; will drop an email to Michelle since she couldn't mind me today.
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 Good evening again! Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3118. Anyways, continuing today's events?

  • 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.
  • Unsure why PIG mum only gave me one bowl of plain porridge for breakfast and not one slice of toast since I had physio later that day? I also pop all my usual drugs :P and drink one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh* Actually, I feel ripped off: how come PIG mum didn't gimme a slice of toast too since I had physio later??
  • After breakfast, I walked 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 climbed into the backseat of the Cherry and dearest dad tootled me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage with PIG mum sitting beside him. Sweet, dad parks up right front by the gate~
  •   Today I not only get acupuncture and massage from Ray, but I also even get a free ice cream since he drew BLOOD with one needle! o_O Relax, 'twas just a drop but our deal's Ray gets me ice cream should he draw blood   and today   he got me a RAINBOW Golden Gaytime! I never used to eat them coz I thought they contained nuts but recently found out that they were just biscuit crumbs and was delighted to discover they even come rainbow-coloured!  Dad demanded some and I very reluctantly passed my ice cream, but when he opened his mouth wide to take a huge bite, I screeched only a nibble! Lol, dad was so offended he passed it back to me without touching it. No problem, I just wolfed it all down before he could change his mind.   XD
  • Back home I read the day's Bible passages then plopped online before being summoned over for lunch, a tuna toastie with one slice of cheese and one huge mug of Chinese tea.
  • Less than fifteen minutes left, so just briefly:
  • Breathe physio with Winnie: extensions for Elf, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing!1.645km bike ride, forty bar-assisted push-ups with left weight shift, forty steps for Erf with left weight shift, forty steps for Erf, forty v-bar cable rows for both hands, forty leg extensions for Elf, forty leg curls for Elf, forty leg extensions for Erf, forty leg extensions for Elf, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing!
  • Bought groceries with Lucy (she's only nineteen and I was her first ever shift today!) then came home for a nice hot shower - hairwash  today. Also thanks to Lucy 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 pear, one plain cracker and one huge mug of yucky herbal tea.  Happiness was reading The Two Lost Mountains for one hour; today I reached pg. 275 @ 5:39pm.
  • Watched the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 101ST time. All the things I like recording are in today's third post.
  • Summoned for dinner  @ 7:10pm, I used the loo  for one tinkle,   ate the  usual bland dinner, drank soup, took the bowl to  the fridge, returned online and used loo for one more tinkle @ 8:10pm.
  • Anyways, 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 Tuesdayy ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
    P.S.  Tee  hee I've already managed FIVE posts!  Yeah, that's possible some Mondays~ XD
  • Monday Post 327d

    Monday Post 327c

     Good afternoon again! Take two: please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I get to post online before midday. XD Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding only 894 steps (but going to physio next and promise to have passed 1000 before Monday ends XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Bedrock Of Your Assurance'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Overcoming Workaholism' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Finding Rest' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really  still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 101ST time!! Anyways, events for today?

    • Woo hoo, 14TH consecutive awesome sleep last night; that's the 8th time this year I've scored one straight week of consecutive awesome sleeps! That was the number I first got when I started recording my awesome sleeps all the way back in 2008 and while I'm unsure will I ever again reach the amazing TWENTY-FIVE WEEKS I achieved back in 2019, 2020 and 2021 it's great that I've already reached my total from eighteen years ago! Nature didn't call until 7:30am  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 cuddled and snored, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am just before noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let her into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and laying out the tee before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
      Cheers,
      Em. ^^

    Sunday Post 327d

     One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 1827. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

    • When I   saw one slice of topped-up oven-baked pizza and one crunchy slice of garlic bread awaiting me, I immediately asked PIG mum would she please microwave some rice for me? See, I'm Chinese enough to need rice for @ least one meal during the day, else I'll fret ><" Thanks to PIG mum   who did~
    • Dinner was washed down with one cup of fruity tea; after taking the cup 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.

    • 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 see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Bet she's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD
    • Will come home for lunch with dearest dad before Jacinta comes @ 2pm and takes me to Breathe for physio with Winnie. Presume we'll buy groceries before coming home for personal  care.
    • Hoping to read the Two Lost Mountains for one hour and watch the  6pm news for the 101ST time!
    • Righteo, wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
      Cheers,
      Em. ^^

    Sunday Post 327c

     Good evening again! Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 1776.  Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

    • 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.
    • Happily watched the 65pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the ONE HUNDREDTH time! All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of today's first post.
    • When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P   table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
      Cheers,
      Em.  ^^

    Sunday Post 327b

     Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 1674 (see? Told you I'd crack 1.5 grand! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'I AM The Resurrection And The Life'. Righteo,  potential  final, final events for tonight?

    • Once I'd used up the most important two hours of my day, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat @ the gobbling :P table first to finish reading and sharing my Facebook memories and then to read The Two Mountains for one hour. PIG mum had already left me some arvo tea before heading upstairs and hitting the sack: some fruit, one plain cracker and one huge mug of herbal tea.
    • After reading for one hour, I happily played match three games on my mobile until PIG mum tumbled down from  pigland and 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 my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was all done after only 11% but happily leaned fully against the right-side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling PIG mum back.
    • After I tapped the nice hot water off and PIG mum dried the back of the chair for me, I did   everything else and she didn't feature again until Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
      Cheers,
      Em.  ^^

    Sunday Post 327

     Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1424 steps (so will hopefully have cracked 1.5 grand before the night ends XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Jesus Knows His Sheep'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "God's @ Work In You" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The  Answer God Provides".  Anyways, events for today?

      • Woo hoo, 13TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7am and after one pot :P trip I immediately tried falling asleep, since I knew PIG mum would get very noisy very soon!
      • Fifty-odd breaths into counting myself back asleep, noisy PIG mum goes THUMP, and I realise sleep's not gonna return this morning. Instead, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
      • When PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo, she notices that my monthlies have arrived. PIG mum helps me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and spreads out the tee for me, before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
      • PIG mum returns and finishes 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.
      • Only thirty minutes left, so just super-briefly:
      • Eat breakfast, do a stinky unspeakable, attend ESS, have lunch with dad @ Hungry Jack's then come home.
      • Toms: PIG mum'll help me up, since I'm seeing Ray for some massage and acupuncture before coming home for lunch with dearest dad.
      • Jacinta's minding me from 2-6pm and taking me to Breathe for physio. We'll buy groceries afterwards then come home for aa shower. 
      • Fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm news bulletin for the ONE HUNDREDTH time!
      • Anyways, hopefully bbl,  else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
        Cheers,
        Em. ^^

    • Had my once-weekly egg for breakfast plus my  first big mug of white   tea with   two sugars and then Jane tootled me off to Wynnum for the table tennis comp! I'm not  a fan of that place since it's got stairs but no lift.  *sigh*

    • 900 seconds later I sit up, announce to Jane that I'm hungry and swing myself to the pot :P for one more tinkle. Jane 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 Jane, who tells me that she had her usual breakfast smoothie for her morning meal today.
      Cheers,
      Em. ^^

Anyways, events for today?

    • Yay, 12TH consecutive 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, nature calling again about one hour later. Shortly afterwards 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 before returning outside and awaiting Jane's arrival @ 8am.
    • After PIG mum lets Jane inside Jane knocks, pushes open the door and announces, "Good morning, Em; fifteen more minutes." Daddy Bear's got her measure now; he simply flicks his paw @ her imperiously, saying shoo! Jane prolly doesn't even see it though: she's already closed the door and left. XD

    • After breakfast, Jane covers my face and both arms with sunscreen, walks behind me back to the loo then returns to the kitchen and washes the breakfast stuff up. Over the loo proper, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
    • Only thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
    • Physio with Adam: Three rounds of standing boxing with left and forward weightshift  lotsa stepping Erf with lotsa left weight shift, some stepping for Elf with not much right weightshift,  beanbag dropping for Ela with left and forward weightshift,  clenching left thihh muscle, two long walks outside down the ramp to the half basketball 🏀 court and four laps long hallway walking.

    • Got home, showered, had a tuna  toastie for lunch, did one hour of OT with Christina,  read The Two Lost Mountains for one hour, watched the  6pm news (Seven's)  for the 98TH time (All  the interesting surnames I saw  while  watching the  6pm news bulletin (Seven’s,  read by   Sarah Greenhalgh and  Max Futcher) for the 98TH time: Mountbatten-Windsor (heard),   Epstein (heard), Dal  (first  name), Babu, Mullen, Bryant, Blowers, Henry, Yalu, Mander, Crisafulli, Mander (heard), Dick,  Powell, Camm (heard), Marlina  (first name, heard),  Whop (heard), Hammond,  Lester, Hume, Albanese, Trump, Rubio (heard), Milton, Slater (heard), Phan, Valencia (heard),Kadak, Langbroek, Richards (heard),Adler, Foran, Nats (first name), Toohey,   Farnworth (heard),Costner, Gyllenhaal, Sacre, Fanning, Bechwati, Gateley, Levi, Arrow (heard),  Kostecki,  Payne, Feeney (heard),Hannay, Payten (heard),Herbie (first  name), Boss, Stuart, Wolff, Barrie, Creasy,  Thomas, Robson, Kroehn, Collins, Metcalf, Rayner, Thomson,Wightman,Fanning and  Dymock.

    Friday Post 327b

     Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 2542 (see? Told you I'd crack 2.5 grand! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Strength For Today' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-SIX MINUTES online when I ring Aunty Lai @ 9pm!! Meaning I'll leave the speaker on when talking to her and continuing to surf the net; I'll use the loo for one more tinkle when I finish chatting with her and hopefully, I'll still get all two hours online~ Anyways, events for today?

    • Woo hoo,11TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until the noisy garbage truck THUNDERED down our road to tip  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*
    • Can't remember did nature call again @ 7:45am but it definitely did just before 9am. After another pot :P trip, it's not long before noisy PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around; soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and return out to await Jane's arrival @ 8am.
    • Once PIG mum lets Jane inside, Jane knocks, pushes open the door and calls "Good morning, Em; fifteen more minutes." Daddy Bear flops his paw in acknowledgement and just like that she's already closed the door and left, thus denying him the chance to flick his paw 'shoo' @ her! XD
    • When Jane comes back, I use the pot :P once more for three tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head 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's one/two dry (no  honey) Weet-Bix very  lightly sprinkled  with some Minus  :P   and one  slice of dry (unbuttered)  toast lightly  spread with avocado and lightly  sprinkled with salt, all  my usual   drugs  :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*

     One final good evening and greeting for   tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2119. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

    • When the parents summoned me over for dinner around 7:15pm I noted down the time, used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely the gobbling  gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
    • PIG mum hit me with the eye goo @ 8:45pm and said get yourself to bed @ 9:45pm.  I protested but tonight's ice cream night! She replies tomorrow. Well, she'd better remember!! ><
    • Toms: Jane's coming @ 8am and taking me for two hours' physio @ the NAB with Adam before seeing me home, showered and fed with lunch before leaving @ 2pm.
    • Christina's coming to   give Ela one hour of unfunctional exercises after Jane leaves. Fingers crossed for bubble tea!! XD
    • Also fingers crossed I can read The Two Lost Mountains for one hour and watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 98TH time!

      Cheers,
      Em.   ^^

    Thursday Post 327e

     Good evening again! Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2069 (see? Told you I'd crack two grand! XD). Anyways, continuing today's events?

    • Winnie walked with me to her front door and then Louiza walked with me back to the passenger seat of her car.
    • I gave the Sunny Park Woolies a third and final chance to have food freebies when we bought groceries but nope, he's not there. I've told PIG mum next time to save petrol I'll just buy from our local Woolies @ Warrigal Square.
    • Got home and took 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.
    • Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea's one plain cracker, one piece of fruit (pear, maybe?) and one huge mug of English breakfast tea sweetened with one big spoonful   of molasses. Tastes burnt. XD Happiness was getting to read for one hour; today I finished pg. 100 @ exactly 4:55pm, finished pg. 111 @ 5:16pm and found the book title @ pg. 115.
    • Sat over the loo for two tinkles @ 5:55pm then signed Louiza off with my thanks and byes @ 6pm; she's back next Thursday 8am and taking me too GCCW; I'd better compose homework!
    • Happily, watched the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 97TH time.  All the things I like recording are in today's third post.
    • Unsure why Louiza closed the loo lid before leaving but PIG mum chucked a cow and made me lift it, tip and clean the pot :P No fuss, I just marked down that I did it myself without fuss; I just recorded it down.
      Cheers,
      Em.   ^^
      P.S. Tee hee I've already managed FIVE posts! That doesn't usually happen Thursdays! XD

    Thursday Post 327d

     Good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 1959 (so trusting I'll have reached two grand before the night ends XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Strength For Today'. Righteo,  potential final, final events for today?

    • At 1:35pm I sat over the loo for two tinkles, then climbed into the backseat of the car and buckled my seatbelt. Dad tootled us to Breathe for physio; PIG mum followed me inside and explained to Winnie that she was taking dad to the hospital for some follow-up appointment, but that Louiza would come pick me up once physio ended.
    • Physio today: 1.656km bike ride, forty bar-assisted push-ups with left weight shift, forty steps for Erf with left weight shift, forty steps for Elf, forty v-bar cable rows, forty leg extensions for Elf, forty leg curls for Elf, forty leg extensions for Erf, forty leg curls for Erf and boxing!
    • Phew Louiza really  did come~ Winnie  walked with me to - bbl!
      Cheers,
      Em. ^^

    Thursday post 327c

     Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ only 468 (but going out next) but secondly and way most importantly I'm really still owed FORTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after Louiza leaves and I watch the 6pm news for the 97TH time!! Anyways, continuing today's events?

    • After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the bathroom, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
    • After washing and drying Era, I walk myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. After doing the day's Bible readings I plop online, reminding the parents to please summon me for lunch when it's ready.
    • When the parents summon me over for lunch, I note the time down then walk myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

    • Lunch is one bowl of rice leftovers and washed down with one huge mug of delicious Chinese tea. I show the parents that 4th uncle took with Uncle Cheesecake and his wife when they boarded the plane back to HK~
    • After taking the cup over to the loo I walk myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
    • Originally, I was gonna use the loo once more @ 1:25pm but CODA just rang saying Louiza's late only PIG mum's going with dearest dad to the P.A.   for his followup appointment so she's told me to go to the loo @ 1:35pm, they'll drive me to Breathe and then Louiza's gonna pick me up from there, buy groceries with me, see me home and showered then leaving @ 6pm?
    • Hoping to watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 97TH time!
    • Tonight's ice  cream night, yay; like I say every week, a very little's better than none @ all!
    • Toms: Jane's minding me from 8am till 2pm so she'll help me up, take me to the NAB for physio with Adam then see me home and showered before leaving @ 2pm.
    • Christina's coming and giving Ela one hour of unfunctional exercises after Jane leaves; planning to read for one hour after she leaves and munch arvo  tea.
    • Hoping to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 98TH time!
    • Anyways, hopefully bbl,  else wishing everyone a smashing end to the week toms!
      Cheers,
      Em.  ^^
      P.S.  All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news (Seven's read by Max Futcher and Sarah Greenhalgh) for the 97TH time: Hammond, Netanyahu (heard), Homewood, Reason, Hunter, Tal, Kantor, Reason (heard), Anastaciou, Denney, Wynne, Markham, Ryvchin,  Castro, Morcombe (heard), Parsons, Burley, Ma,  Wightman, Elon  (first name), Musk, Gates, Mason, Hodge, Fagan, Zorko  (heard)m, Hardwick, Ugle-Hagan (heard), Stathas (first  name), Browne, Martin, Holland, Zambas, Downie, Bland, Sacre, Ridley (heard), Scott, Trump, Trita (first name), Parsi, Netanyahu (heard), Boyd, Ubergang, Batty Toohey, Thomas, Valour, Crisafulli, Cleary (heard), Capewell (heard), Cotter, Toohey (heard), Arrow (heard) Kernaghan and  Auden.  Steve read the sports report and Tony Audenn read the weather report.

    Thursday Post 327b

     Good morning again, heylo again and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I get to post online before midday.  XD Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding only 425 steps (since obviously, I've not left the house yet); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "How To Hate Your Life"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'You Have Full Forgiveness' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Longing For Home' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really  still owed ONE  HOUR and THIRTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after I get home from physio and watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 97TH  time!! Anyways, events for today?

    • Woo hoo, 10TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call  until 7:45am 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, nature calling once more around 9am, shortly before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and laying out my tee before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into the tee then giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
    • Once I've mostly independently kitted myself, I call PIG mum to please come back to finish with Elf's AFO straps and both laces since it's past 9:40am already! Still, she takes her time about it, meaning I don't leave the room until almost 9:50am. *sigh* Never mind, it's ice cream night tonight; I'll just savour the tiny amount slowly and take my time over the loo, meaning twelve hours should have passed before I return to bed~
    • After I've let PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to  the bathroom  and brush  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.
    • Breakfast's  one bowl of plainn porridge, 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*
      Cheers,
      Em. ^^

    • Toms: presuming PIG mum's helping mne up and taking me for walkies somewhere before coming home for lunch.
    • Louiza's minding me from 1pm till 6pm. I've got Breathe physio @ 2pm then presuming we're buying groceries for PIG mum before coming home for a shower.

     Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 2146 (ha, I'm over two grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Best Me I Can Be.' Anyways, continuing events for today?

    • PIG mum returns and finishes with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
    • Breakfast is one bowl of plain porridge, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water.

See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
    • After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do both ways). PIG mum tootles us down to Warrigal Square Woolies to buy groceries. I'm not   a fan of grocery shopping with her since she won't grab a trolley for us and nor does she lemme sit on the self-serve checkout when it's time to scan our items, but hey.
    • Back home, I use the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
    • Oops less than twenty minutes left, so just super-briefly:
    • Jane took me to play table tennis! She's also taking me to this Saturday's comp and since there are stairs there Kim had me practise going up and down the ones @ our place once and promised me one extra slice of her chocolate cake. XD
    • Got home, showered and watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 96TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of today's 4th/previous post.
    • Our final dinner before Uncle Cheesecake, his wife and 4th uncle returned to HK:  dad's duck! There was even frozen cheesecake afterwards to honour Uncle Cheesecake!
    • Stood to hug 4th uncle, Uncle Cheesecake and his wife bye; dad's driving them to the airport now~
    • Anyways, 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's having a smashing week!

    Tuesday Post 327c

     One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 2056. Suppose it's good I walk with bigger steps now?  Originally, I thought it took me like eighty steps for a round trip to the loo and back, but Wally says I only took fifty-five steps tonight! Anyways, just super-briefly, final, final events for tonight?

    • Played match-three games before using the loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm.
    • Apparently, there's egg pudding for dessert tonight!
    • Toms: hope PIG mum helps me up and I'm outta the bedroom by 9:45pm since Jane's taking me to play table tennis and the parents aren'tt letting me initiate a friend date tonight so perhaps a  pissy plodding total from me. 
    • Biggest disappointment that we're not taking the family out for dinner before saying bye tonight hence why I'm hoping someone will say I can join their friend date; remember, yesterday already marked one whole WEEK since I last enjoyed a proper meal out!! *sigh*
    • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!

    • Back home, I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today.  Also thanks to Peggy who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
    • Dried, creamed and  rekitted, lunch was my delicious crunchy pork bahn mi with one mug of unsweetened white tea. Unsure how Jacinta found the honey yesterday, but PIG mum can't today? 
    • Before Peggy left, I sat once over the loo for two tinkles then I climbed into the car since Peter was gonna  cast Elf for a new splint!
    • Aww I feel lobed:  the moment I entered Gina said sit down; I've made you a cup of tea, white and two already~
    • Today Peter had some new employee called Aidan to help him hold Elf steady while he casted her. Aidan told me his degree is in Prosthetics And Orthotics; it's only available @ USC and Melbourne!
    • Just super-briefly,  since I'm nearly outta time:
    • Got  home, used loo  for one tinkle,   had arvo tea,  used loo  for another tinkle, read my daily Bible verses  and watched the 6pm news (Seven's) for the 95TH time. All the  things I  like recording  are @ the bottom of the previous post.

    Tuesday Post 327

     Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1920 steps (so will definitely have cracked two grand before Tuesday ends XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Light Beyond The Light'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Are You Washing Your Nets?' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Fully Dedicated To God' but fifthly and way most importantly, I('m really still owed ONE HOUR and SEVENTEEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 95TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

    • Woo hoo, 8th consecutive awesome sleep  lsdt night! Nature had already called once fractionally before midnight and then Daddy Bear and I happily snored until 6:45am before waking again for the pot!
    • 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, me waking again for the pot :P once more around 9am, shortly before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo plus whack a dressing over Elf's ankle before returning outside and awaiting Peggy's arrival @ 9:30am.
    • Once PIG mum opens the door for Peggy and lets her inside, Peggy knocks, opens the door and states, "Good morning." When Daddy Bear flops a paw @ her saying hi, she next says "Fifteen more minutes." Daddy Bear gives one more paw nod then imperiously flicks his paw @ her "Shoo!" Peggy snorts with amusement but wisely withdraws, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
    • When Peggy comes back, I use the pot: p for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who squirted some toothpaste for me.
    • Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Peggy, who says that she had her two usual fried eggs for her breakfast this morning.
    • For my breakfast, PIG mum saved me the last slice of banana bread/cake that I'd recently baked with her! I also   popped all   my usual drugs :P and drank one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
    • Breakfast finished, I asked Peggy to please gimme (face and both hands) to gimme some sunscreen then she walked behind me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast stuff up. Over the loo proper, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
    • After washing and drying Era, I climb into the back of Mr. Thomas' car, since Auto (pronounced Alto) got rock damage and is getting fixed! Thanks to Peggy who kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt all day, although I got in trouble for opening the car door slightly? Will remember never to do that again~
    • Our first  stop's  Pinelands Plaza. Peggy grabs us a  trolley and first  we buy  groceries ttogether from Coles (instead of using self-serve we visit  Vicki!) tthen head down to the Pinelands Bakehouse, where I  buy my once-weekly  cracckling pork bahn mi from Aunty Nancy.

    • Cheers,

    Monday Post 327c

     Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding for Monday now stands @ 1348. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

    • After publishing the previous post I should've continued reading and sharing Facebook memories but instead I played match three games. >< I discovered a really cool new one last night!
    • At 9pm I walked myself slowly and safely once more 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:  Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till 2pm and PIG mum's sending me to Go Cutt for a cheap haircut; suppose I'm looking shaggy again. XD
    • Buying groceries (should PIG mum want any) afterwards from Pinelands plus my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse.
    • After Peggy sees me home, showered and fed with lunch before leaving @ 2pm, PIG mum's taking me to APO and Peter's gonna cast me for a new orthotic! Fingers crossed the new one works~
    • Don't have any plans for the rest of the day; looking forward to enjoying my most important two hours of the day online, reading The Two Sth Sth (Lost Mountains, maybe?)  for one hour and watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 95TH time!
    • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing Tuesday ahead!
      Cheers,
      Em. ^^

    Monday Post 327b

     Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 1292 (ha, I'm over one grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "Prone To Wander". Righteo, continuing today's events?

    • When Jacinta announced her arrival one minute late today, I walked myself slowly and safely to the front door and let her in, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. Yup, she was one minute late since she was signing in.

    • So a nice hot shower for me - hairwash  today. Also thanks to Jacinta 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 some fruit, one plain rice cracker, one packet of Arnott's bikkies and TWO big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of sugar. Happiness was reading for one hour; I FINISHED THE BOOK CLUB NOVEL @ 4:42! Huge thanks to Jane who'd grabbed me Matthew Reilly's The Two Sth Sth;  I continued happily reading that, finishing pg. twenty-five @ 5:28pm. After reading for one hour, I happily played match three games for thirty minutes while Jacinta very gently massaged Ela very gently for nearly (but not quite) one hour.
    • At 5:55pm I sat over the loo for two tinkles then signed Jacinta off with my thanks and byes. She's back same time next week.
    • Happily watched pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 94TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of the previous post. 
    • Dad had told me use the loo once the news finished; I'd been really excited, thinking we were FINALLY eating out but when I asked PIG mum to please come gimme a bra since I can't go out wearing pajamas, she screeched "Why? We're not going out tonight!"  XD
    • Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy cauliflower and some steamed fish.
    • 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, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
    • Righteo, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms, else wishing everyone a smashing Tuesday ahead!
      Cheers,
      Em. ^^

    Monday Post 327

     Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding only 784 steps (but will hopefully have cracked 1000 before Monday ends); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Five Digital Dangers'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Worst Failure ... Is Failure To Try and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Anatomy of a Hardening Heart'. Anyways, events for today?

    • Woo hoo, 7th consecutive awesome sleep last night; that's the 8th time this year I've achieved one consecutive week of awesome sleeps! :D 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, nature calling once more just after 9am shortly before PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and laying out the tee before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into the tee then giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
    • PIG mum returns and finishes with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and  both laces (but she takes long enough that I don't exit the bedroom until 9:50am; will remember to sit for a long while over the loo so I'll not be  back in  bed for another sleep before twelve hours have passed else I'll feel that I've wasted the entire day.) >< *sigh*
    • After letting PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush 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.
    • Breakfast is one bowl of plain porridge, 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 (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles me off to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture.
    • At Ray's, PIG mum's covering us with our Disneyland umbrella when Ray comes out with a MASSIVE one! I squee I wanna  walk inside under his enormous umbrella; Ray laughs and swaps umbrellas with PIG mum. XD
    • At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle then lie down for some massage and acupuncture. Elf's calf hurts slightly during the massage but thankfully the neck pain from yesterday has buggered off!
    • After another tinkle, PIG mum tootled us home.  Didn't buy groceries today since she needed to get home to let the cleaner in and besides, she left the parking permit @ home.
    • Lunch was one bowl of rice leftovers plus one huge mug of herbal tea. 4th Uncle had finished swimming with dad; he and Uncle Cheesecake had already had lunch so while I was having mine dad tootled them out to catch public transport somewhere. Uncle Cheesecake's wife stayed home; she's downstairs now.
    • Lunch finished, I used the loo for one more tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
    • Jacinta's minding me from 4-6pm today; fingers crossed she can find where the sneaky parents hid the sweetener! XD
    • Looking forward to reading for one hour and fingers crossed I'll watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 94TH time!
    • Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:20am till 2pm. PIG mum's sending me   to GoCutt for my cheap haircut; suppose I'm looking shaggy. XD
    •  Suppose also we'll buy groceries from Coles Pinelands afterwards plus my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse?
    • Nothing happening after Peggy leaves, I don't think. Looking forward to spending my most important two hours of the day online, reading for one hour and watching the 6pm news for the 95TH time!
    • Anyways, hopefully bbl,  else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
      P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's, read by Sarah Greenhalgh and Max Futcher) for the 94TH time: Hammond, Barrie, Moriarty, Wightman, Plibersek, Barnaby  (first  name), Joyce, Webcke (heard), Albanese, Hawkins,  Keating (heard), Dymock, Kennedy (heard), Nkeita, Sweedman, Burley, Azize, Bleijie, Marlina (first name), Rai, Rahm, Stieler, Jaxson (first name), Abate, Downie, James, Kayleen (first name), Whop,   Walsh (heard), Slater (heard), Tate, Abate, Scott, Volodomyr (first  name, heard), Zelensky (heard), Trump, Dallin (first name),  Galvin, Kroehn, Walker, Flegler (heard), Plath (heard), Raffoul, Alley (first  name), Hammer, Holland, Smalley, Marrkez (heard), Kenny, Bechwati, Burgess, Milton, Keary, Tedesco,  Barclay, Valance (heard), Walker, Langer (heard), Fifita (heard), and Auden.

    Sunday Post 327c

     Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2276. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

    • Thankfully, PIG mum heard the 2nd time, come downstairs and lemme shower. Obviously, I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 15% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
    • I had one tinkle before I called PIG mum back; after I tapped the nice hot water off and she 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 drying the loo seat I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, washed and dried Era, stamped both feet dry and 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.
    • After doing my weekly file backup, I headed over to the gobbling :P and asked PIG mum to please turn on the TV for me and feed me some arvo tea.
    • While munching one yummy banana, one plain cracker and drinking one huge mug of herbal tea I watched the Broncos play the Warriors! At halftime I used the loo for one tinkle and hoped they'd make a comeback since we were losing like 22-0!
    • Since the Broncos immediately scored once the second half began I dared to dream we'd score a miraculous comeback but alas, 'twas not to be; twenty-point losers and outta the top eight. >< We're the defending premiers, dammit! *cringe*
    • Watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 93RD time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post but unsure where all the numbers (temperatures and times) went?
    • For the first time this year, dinner was @ SCSC! Only they're undergoing renovations right now, meaning we didn't haveta  walk  to the back but turned left right after the entrance!
    • Dinner today marked ONE WHOLE WEEK since I enjoyed a proper meal out. *sigh* The sweet and sour pork tonight was nice, though~
    • 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 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: expect a super-pissy plodding total from me, since after seeing Ray PIG mum hasn't the time to take me grocery shopping and aisle walking since she's gotta open the door for the cleaner.
    • Jacinta's minding me from 4-6pm. Will surely finish the book club novel??  Can't help but hate myself for how slowly I read now. >< *sigh*
    • Will hopefully watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 94TH time!
    • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
      Cheers,
      Em. ^^

    Sunday Post 327b

     Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2201 (so yay I'm over two grand but sorry I'll not reach 2.5 grand tonight XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Good Shepherd'. Righteo, continuing today's events?

    • Once I'd used up my most important two hours of  the day online, I headed over to the bathroom, calling when I passed the stairs would PIG mum please lemme shower! The Broncos game starts @ 4pm! Only she didn't hear me, so I thumped the bathroom wall and called again!Cheers,
      Em. ^^

    Sunday Post 327

     Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1388 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Freest Love'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "The Way Up's Down" and thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Deep Roots'. Anyways, events for today?

    • Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like the past three nights, nature didn't call until 6:30am and after one pot :P trip I immediately tried falling back asleep since I guessed PIG mum would get very noisy one hour later!
    • Success - I didn't wake until PIG mum let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo! She then helped exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and spread out the tee for me before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into the tee and giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
    • PIG mum returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
    • After washing and drying Era I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I've done all day). PIG mum tootles us off to church and I hike up the ramp, use the disabled loo for one tinkle then grab my usual spot @ service. Unsure why PIG mum made me hold the loo lid before she lifted it up for me, but hey.
    • Took my usual spot for service and PIG mum bolted upstairs for the Canto service with ten minutes remaining.
    • Yay, I got to stay seated for worship today. I sang everything, plus the harmony for all four songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
    • Speaker today was Pastor Peter Pie with his 2nd sermon about the apostles' creed; service ended seventeen minutes early today.
    • Used the loo for one more tinkle then hiked around to the back and sat down for morning tea. There's this Aussie carer minding a little Asian girl; wonder who she is? But Aunty Denise came over and gushed her happiness that we were seeing Westlife together next year and that she needed to brush up on her Westlife songs! <3 
    • Everyone else enjoyed Viet food/Sai Bistro for lunch but I was stuck @ Hungry Jack's for lunch with dad again; today marks ONE WHOLE WEEK since I've enjoyed a proper lunch out. *sigh*
    • I only had the smallest chicken burger plus some orange juice but got like FOURTEEN chips since dad's badminton mate sat across from us; they were talking deep political stuff! XD
    • Back home I used the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era then walked myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
    • Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day, hopefully PIG mum'll lemme shower since I wanna watch the Broncos play @ 4pm!
    • Presuming we're having dinner @ Ho Lin Wah again?
    • Toms:  PIG mum's helping me up, since I've got a late morning appointment to see Ray but perhaps expect a super-pissy plodding total from me since she says she's not got time to take me grocery shopping and aisle walkin afterwards since she's gotta open the door for the cleaner?
    • But Liam's giving Ela a session of OT toms arvo; he'd better remember to bring bubble tea for me!! XD
    • Jacinta's minding me from 4-6pm; fingers crossed I can read for one hour and watch the 6pm news for the 93RD time!
    • Anyways, hopefully  bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
      Cheers,
      Em. ^^
    • P.S All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's,  read by MiaGlover) for the 93RD time: Van Lunteren, McMillan,  Kinsey, Tan,  Killett, D'Alessandro,  Miles, Damons, Crisafulli, Richmond,  Bleijie, Dick,  Fentiman,  Grace,  O'Neil,  Albanese,  Chalmers, Delta(first name), Wilson, Fayed, Croucher, Hanson (heard), Carbone, Hammatt, Wilson,, Kiss (heard), Grant,  Clifford (heard), Cotter (heard), Dobbin,  Slater ((heard), Geran, Stirling (first name), Moore, Farquar, Jakob (first name), Funk,  Munster,  Bellamy (heard), Toya (heard), Capewell, Talty, Manning,  Purss, Rahm, Todhunter,  Goodrem, Passarelli, Sinclair, Makenna (first name), Baily, Thurston, Zahos (heard), Meister and Murray.  Dominique Loudon read the sports report and Garry Youngberry read the weather report from East Brisbane.  Brisbane was

     One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2503. Ha, I'm literally a few steps over 2.5 grand. XD Righteo, super-briefly, since I've got less than ten minutes left final, final events for tonight?

    • Jacinta and I both bought groceries from Woolies and sushi from The Sushi Creators.
    • Took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks too Jacinta who helped me rinse out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
    • Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was one bowl of the sesame chicken I'd cooked yesterday with rice plus two more big mugs  of white tea with sweetener.
    • Played table tennis with  dad~
    • Read for three hours today! :D
    • Watched the 6pm news (Seven's) for  the 92ND time.
    • Had dinner, drank soup, returned online and used  loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm.
    • Toms: just church, nothing special. Was hoping I'd get to share lunch out with other ESS people while  dad takes the  family elsewhere but nope, stuck @ HJ's with him again. *sigh*
    • Ooh the Broncos are playing  toms arvo!
    • Hope to see  everyone @ church toms!
      Cheers,
      Em. ^^

    Saturday Post 327b

     Heylo and good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2428 (so will hopefully have reached 2.5 grand before the night ends XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Seek Help From His Spirit' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed EIGHT MINUTES online after I use the loo for one more tinkle tonight!!  Righteo,  continuing  events for Saturday?

    • More happy cuddling and snoring from Daddy Bear and me, nature calling once more around 9am just 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 Jacinta's arrival @ 9:30am.
    • After PIG mum lets Jacinta inside, Jacinta inside, she knocks, opens the door, sticks her head inside and says, "Good morning, Em." When I wave Daddy Bear's paw @ her she next says, "I'll come help you up in fifteen minutes, okay?" Daddy   Bear gives a paw nod then imperiously flicks his paw @ her "Shoo!" Jacinta smirks but wisely withdraws, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
    • When Jacinta comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I drink one tall cup of water before 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 walk out to the gobbling :P table with Jacinta, who tells me that she had smoked salmon for breakfast this morning!
    • Me, I get my once weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast but yay for Jacinta who added one slice of cheese for me! I also drink another full mug of water, pop all my usual drugs :P and enjoy my first big mug of white tea with two teaspoonfuls of sugar. I also happily read for thirty minutes first up, reaching page seventy-five @ exactly 10:25pm.
    • After reading for thirty minutes, I use the loo for one more tinkle then wash and dry Era while Jacinta closes and locks windows.
    • I climb into the passenger seat of Jacinta's car; she helps me with my seatbelt (as she kindly does all day) and then she tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace and parks underground before grabbing a trolley for us.
      Cheers,
      Em. ^^

     Three good evenings! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for tonight now stands @ 2889 (so doubt I'll hit 3000 before the night ends, sorry XD) but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed FOUR MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, continuing Friday's events?

    • Me, for breakfast I got one bowl of plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with avocado and very lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh* Thanks to Jane who turned Sunrise on for my viewing pleasure~
    • Breakfast finished, I ask Jane to please gimme some face and both hands) before she walks behind me back to the bathroom then returns 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 Sarah (SAZ's Jane's car's numberplate) and Jane tootles me off to the NAB for a new block of physio. Thanks to Jane who kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt both ways~
    • At UQ, I use the loo for one tinkle then sit in the waiting room waiting for my new student.
    • Adam's from HK like me! Physio today: Standing boxing with both hands with left and forward weight shift, a little stepping for Elf with a little right weight shift, lotsa stepping for Erf with lotsa left weight shift, fourteen laps hallway walking with obstacle course and six laps long hallway walking.
    • After one more loo trip Jane tootled me home and I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also   thanks to Jane who helped me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
    • Dried, creamed and rekitted, for lunch Jane made me a tuna in tomato and onion  toastie with TWO cheese and the inside HEAVILY buttered plus one huge mug of English breakfast tea although unfortunately she couldn't find where sneaky PIG mum had hidden the sweetener. *sigh*
    • At 1:55pm I sit over the loo before sitting @ the gobbling :P table and awaiting Christina's arrival. Before Jane left, however; I hugged Jane goodbye since she's climbing the Story Bridge tomorrow and I'm terrified she'll fall off! o_O XD
    • Christina came and cooked sesame chicken with me. She arrived after 2pm; unsure why PIG mum came downstairs @ 2pm exactly and immediately shooed her away? I finished cooking the dish with PIG mum~
    • Arvo tea's one yummy pear, one plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea. I started the new book club novel and read for one hour; it looks tiny?
    • Used loo for one tinkle, plopped online, read today's Bible passages and then plopped online.
    • Watched the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 91ST time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of the first post.
    •  When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner @ 7:08pm I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely over to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
    • Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy broccoli, lotsa some other leafy green Asian vegetable and a lil bit of the yummy sesame chicken Christina cooked with me earlier this arvo. 'Twas yummy and PIG mum says I may have more for lunch toms, yay~
      Cheers,
      Em. ^^

    Friday Post 327b

     Good evening, heylo again and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 2785 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Spiritual Adulthood' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and EIGHT MINUTES online after dinner tonight!! Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

    • After PIG mum let Jane inside, Jane knocks, opens the door, calls "Good morning, Em; fifteen more minutes" then immediately closes the door when Daddy Bear flops his paw @ her, thus denying him the chance to wave his paw 'shoo' @ her! XD
    • When Jane came back, I sat over the pot :P once more for three tinkles, we got me kitted and then I headed over to   the bathroom and brushed teeth before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era I headed out to the gobbling :P table with Jane, who told me that she had her usual breakfast smoothie for her morning meal.
      Cheers,
      Em. ^^


    Friday Post 327

     Good evening!  Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2710 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Ideas Have Consequences'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Live Like You Believe It! (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Seeing God's Grandeur" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the 91ST time!! Anyways, events for today?

    •  Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didb'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 cuddled and snored, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am, just before noisy PIG mum begins her usual daily a-THUMPING around. 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 her for fifteen minutes last night and let her wear her sock to sleep but obviously peeled the sock off first thing this morning! XD
      Cheers,
      Em.  ^^
