Wednesday Post 327b

 Heylo and good afternoon again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 1677 but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and SEVENTEEN MINUTES online after I get home tonight!!  Righteo,  continuing  today's events?

• When I inform PIG mum that I've mostly independently kitted myself, she 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 out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 327

 Good afternoon!  Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1599 steps (ha, I'm just over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Key To Radical Love'; thirdly, RWFT topic's "Prayer's Your Connection To God' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Joining God To Help' but  fifthly and way most importantly,  I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-TWO MINUTES online after I get home from  table tennis and then our EM BBQ!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! 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 cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P 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 the tee 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.
• When I inform PIG mum that I've mostly independently kitted myself, she returns and finishes with  absol - bbl!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Tuesday Post 326d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 2954. Yeah, sorry, not quite three grand; maybe toms. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I drafted my GCCW homework for Thursday!
• 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: an early start, since I'm visiting Top Health for the flu jab! The nurse better have a lolly ready for me! XD
• PIG mum says we can buy groceries before coming home for lunch with dearest dad.
• Unsure why I can't find April's roster but I'm pretty   sure it's Jane taking me to table tennis @ 1:30pm before seeing me home and showered then leaving @ 6:30pm.
• But I thought EM were having a BBQ toms night; I've RSVP'd and asked for transport but nobody's responded?? I've asked in the WhatsApp group but should nobody reply I'll directly ask Dr. Lee/ David toms. If that's not happening, I'll play table tennis @ church with dad.
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day  toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 326c

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 2874 (so prolly won't quite reach three grand tonight, sorry XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "He's Able." Anyways, continuing today's events?

• Peggy grabs a trolley for us, then we both buy groceries but instead of checking our items out from the self-serve registers we visit Vicki, who's manning one checkout booth! She told me that she started @ 7am this morning and can finish @ midday. Also, she lives in Algester~
• Next, I head down to the Pinelands Bakehouse to buy my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi, but when I enter, Aunty Nancy looks up when the buzzer sounds, sees me, threw her arms out dramatically and shrills "No more crunchy pork!" I let out a dramatic gasp and screech, "No bahn mi?!" Phew, Aunty Nancy immediately reassures me. "Ok, still got ro (in her Vietnamese accent she can't say roast) pork and ro  chicken; what you want?" I choose roast pork, since from memory roast chicken was really bland.
• Whoops only minutes left, so super-quickly:
• Hiked Underwood Park and Peggy brought oats for the ducks, so they followed us when we left!
• Liam came for his once monthly/twice-monthly visit and Ela did unfunctional exercises.  I just berated him for forgetting to bring bubble tea.  XD
• Had arvo  tea, read the newest Feist novel for one hour, watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 72ND time before eating dinner then returning online.
• Anyways, hopefully bbl after one more loo  trip  @ 9pm with  my final,  final plodding total  for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms, else wishing  everyone a  smashing Wednesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 326b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 2738 but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTEEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 72ND time!! Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• After I've counted down 900 more seconds, I announce "Peggy, I'm hungry" and swing myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle. Peggy immediately comes (she was inside the bathroom), we get ,e kitted and then I go brush teeth (thanks to Peggy who's already squirted some toothpaste  for me), sit over the loo  for one tinkle, wash  and dry Era then headed out to the gobbling :P table with Peggy, who says she had her usual two fried eggs for breakfast this morning.
• Me, I was so surprised how much healthy cereal (at least three different types) I got for breakfast I took a photo! 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*
• After Peggy covers my face and both hands with sunscreen, she accompanies 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 Auto (pronounced Alto) and Peggy tootles us off to Pinelands Plaza. Thanks to her who kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt both ways and yay we found a disabled park outside Coles since last week I remember she had to park like halfway down the plaza  before  finding a park!
• 
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Tuesday Post 326

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2616 steps (ha, I'm over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Afraid To Stray'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'God Forgives And Forgets (4)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Lost But Now Found' but  fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY MINUTES online after Liam gives  Ela a session of OT!! 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; I don't wake again for the pot :P until nearly 9am! Shortly after another pot :P trip, 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 before returning outside and awaiting Peggy's arrival @ 9:30am.
• After PIG mum opens the door for Peggy @ 9:30am, Peggy knocks, opens the bedroom door and states good morning.  When I flop Daddy Bear's paw @ her, she then announces, "Fifteen more minutes." Daddy Bear can't even be bothered giving her another paw nod but just imperiously flicks his paw @ her 'shoo'. Peggy smirks but wisely withdraws, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XDCheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 325c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3516. See? Told you I'd crack 3.5 grand! XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, 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. She'll help me up; I'm presuming we'll buy my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse plus whatever groceries PIG mum wants from Coles.
• Don't think I've got anything happening after she leaves. Looking forward to my most important two days online, reading the Feist novel for one hour and watching the 6pm news for the 72ND time!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 325d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2115. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• I had one tinkle before I called PIG mum back; after I tapped the nice hot water off and she dried the back of the chair 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, stamped both feet dry, washed and dried Era then walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 70TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of today's second post.
• When the parents called dinnertime, I used the loo for one tinkle then climbed into the backseat of Cherry. Thanks to   PIG mum who helped me buckle my seatbelt both ways, since I've got seriously night vision. *sigh*
• Back to Ho Lin Wah for dinner. The A meal (sth with black bean) didn't suit me, so I had almost (nut not quite) half a bowl of some fried rice and almost (but again, not quite *sigh*) one bowl of the B meal (chicken in tomato sauce with rice. Dessert was one yummy fried mantou (I licked the little saucer of condensed milk clean XD) and I drank half the set soup, one cup of Chinese tea and just over one mouthful of the HK-style milk tea.
• Back home I walked myself slowly and safely online, 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, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: seeing Ray for some acupuncture and massage; bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him.
• And excitement: afterwards we're meeting Mrs. Dent for lunch @ the Coffee Club!
• Pity Jacinta's taking me to Breathe for physio right afterwards. XD But take heart: ANZAC Day this Friday means no NAB physio! :D
• We'll buy groceries from the Warrigal Square Woolies before Jacinta sees me home and showered but may haveta skip arvo tea since I'm hoping to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 71ST time!
•  Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• After using the loo for one tinkle I walked down the hallway to the gobbling :P table, requesting some arvo tea from PIG mum. She passed me one adorable little sugar banana (consumed with one mouthful), one plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea.
• Took a nice hot shower - 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.

Sunday Post 325

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1474 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'God, Touch Our Hearts'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'God Forgives And Forgets (2)' and thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Accountability Matters'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:05am and after one pot :P trip I immediately try falling back asleep since I knew PIG mum would get very noisy less than one hour later!
• Success, I successfully fall back asleep and don't wake until PIG mum lets herself into my room and hits me with the eye goo. I use the pot :P once more, she helps exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and laying out the tee then leaves 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.
• Breakfast is one dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P and some Milo   cereal, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the toilet, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era I climb into the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles us off to church (dad's the parking usher @ the entrance and salutes us) and parks outside the ESS service hall. I hike up the ramp, use the second cubicle of the normal ladies' loo (since both the disabled and first cubicle oof the normal ladies loo have lids closed but mean PIG mum won't lift them for me) for one tinkle, wash and dry both hands then grab my usual spot for service @ the most left.  PIG mum bolts back upstairs for the Canto service. 
• Yay, I get to stay seated for worship today~ I sing everything, plus the harmony for two songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Pastor Peter Pie's dad, Uncle Stephen! His sermon topic was The Fif Tree Without Fig and service ended thirty-seven minutes early today!
• Dad collected me, I used the disabled loo for one tinkle (the lid was still down but dad kindly opened it), washed and dried Era then hiked around to the back for morning tea.
• Only thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Everyone else @ ESS enjoyed lunch together @ Mum's Wok but dad made me have lunch @ Hungry Jack's again; I only got *half* a burger, barely ten chips and some orange juice! *sigh*
• Got home, did my daily Bible readings then watched the Broncos vs. Tigers replay from last night!
• Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day I'll use the loo for one tinkle, ask PIG mum for some arvo  tea, skip the reading then shower since I'm hoping to watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 70TH time!
• Toms: PIG mum'll help me up, since I'm seeing Ray for some massage and acupuncture toms. Bet she's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him. XD
• Unsure are we grocery shopping together afterwards since we're meeting Mrs. Dent for lunch @ The Coffee Club toms!
• But presumably just a short lunch since Jacinta's coming @ 2pm and taking me to Breathe for physio?
• She'll see me home and showered before leaving @ 6pm; looking forward to reading Feist's newest novel for one hour and watching the 6pm news for the 71ST time!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,

• Watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 69TH time. All the things I like recording are in today's first post.
• Used loo for one tinkle, drank soup, took bowl to sink, returned online and used loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm.
• Toms: just church, definitely nothing special. Would love lunch out with other ESS peers but will only get like a pissy little cheeseburger, about ten chips and a small orange juice with dad. *sigh*
• Braced for a stressful arvo  @ the hands of PIG mum. *sigh* But hoping to read the new Feist novel for another hour!
• Anyways, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Saturday Post 325b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2645 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "Your Suffering's Not Worthless." Righteo, continuing today's events?

• I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth before drinking one cup of water then sitting over the loo proper. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

• After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Jacinta, who tells me that she had avo on toast for breakfast.
• Me, I get my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast with a very thin spread of avocado and one slice of cheese, another full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and my first big   mug of delicious Earl Grey tea (Captain Picard's choice) sweetened with one spoonful of honey. Over and after breakfast, I happily read the book club novel for thirty minutes, finishing pg. 475 @ 10:36am.
• While Jacinta closes and locks windows I sit over the loo for one more tinkle, wash and dry Era then climb into the passenger seat of Jacinta's car. She helps me with my seatbelt (as she kindly   does all day) then tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace, parks out the front near the ramp and grabs a trolley for us.
• First we both buy groceries from Woolies (mother needs milk) and then I buy my arvo tea honey chicken sushi roll from Sushi Creators.
• Back home, I take a ni e warm 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,  lunch is one bowl of what I cooked with the OT yesterday plus two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey. Continuing reading, I FINISHED THE BOOK @ 12:31pm and finished the Author's Note   @ 12:59pm!
• Before Jacinta dropped me off @ church to play table tennis with   dearest dad, I sat over the loo for two more tinkles.
• At church, dad and I have great fun together. He's a good boy who lets me win in straight sets - and even the extra set he said we're playing coz I've  gotta save face!  XD But he hit me with his killer shots ELEVEN times, and I came home full of holes. >< XD
• Back home, I used the loo for one more tinkle, wash and dry Era then settle down to read the newest Feist novel that Mrs. Burvill-Shaw sent me for the rest of the arvo, since it's only Saturdays that I get to spend a blessed three hours reading~
  Cheers,
  Em.   ^^

Saturday Post 325

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2540 steps (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily   devotional topic from last night's 'Embracing Jesus'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'God Forgives And Forgets (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The  Ends Of The Earth' but  fifthly and way most importantly, I'm  really still owed ONE HOUR and NINETEEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for  the 69TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:35am 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 PIG mum began her daily noisy a-THUMPING around 9am. Soon, she's let herself into my room @ 9:30am to hit me with the eye goo and gimme fifteen more minutes since Jacinta's not arriving till 9:45am coz she's got a shift before me. After counting down the first five minutes, 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 lets Jacinta inside @ 9:45am, Jacinta knocks, opens the door, says good morning and taps me. I sit up, return the greetings then use the pot :P for one more tinkle before we get me kitted.
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Friday Post 325b

 Heylo and good evening again! Take two: firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2454 steps (so will have cracked 2.5 grand before the night's out, hoorah! XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Mercy For Today'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Be Confident Of God's Love For You'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Strength To Endure' and fifthly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Recall Your Focus' but sixthly and way most importantly,  I'm really  still owed ONE HOUR and ELEVEN MINUTES online after I  use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, just briefly, events for today?

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Despite my earnest prayer to God last night asking Him please don't send the noisy garbage truck THUNDERING down the road and tipping bins until after the Sun has risen sufficiently for me   to see the time on the clock attached to the wall, he went screw you   and sent it down while 'twas still semi-dark. >< That's alright; I went screw You back and successfully fell back asleep without incident. *sigh*
• Jane minded me from 9-2pm today.
• NAB physio: Lotsa left weight shift and stepping for Erf, several steps for Elf without right weight shift, eighteen laps long hallway walking, two double leg pushups on the Tower Of Power for both legs and eighteen single leg push-ups for Elf. Travis is from HK like me and did an engineering degree first, so he is 27 and lives in St Lucia!
• Got  home and took   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.
• 
  
• Christina came for OT and cooked chicken dish with me!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 325d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 3656. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I continued reading and sharing my Facebook memories.
• 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. Just ugh that Elf's around the heel side's going ow again.  >< *sigh*
• Yay that tonight's ice cream night; like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Toms:  Jane's minding me from 9-2pm and taking me for a two hour NAB physio; doubt I'm lucky enough for another cancellation toms? XD 
• Jane's seeing me home and showered before leaving @ 2pm and then some new OT assistant called Christina's coming and cooking with me; hope PIG mum's chosen sth tasty!
• F9ngers crossed dad'll take us out for dinner toms night since biu jie's leaving afterwards ... but I   vaguely recall dad saying we'll have arvo tea out then return home for dinner? Well, fingers crossed we'll have arvo tea @ Ho Lin Wah and I'll finally MEET my current food goal of drinking a hot HK-style milk tea to myself; a goal I've held for MORE THAN ONE YEAR!! If that happens, I've already got another food goal ready: I wanna try that new KFC burger that comes with a hash brown!!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  
  

Thursday Post 325c

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2587 (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Arise And Shine'. Anyways, continuing today's events?

• When Pastor Grace decides it's time to leave, Reverend Chris walks behind me outside and I take a seat on some chair with a backrest. Pastor Grace asks are you sure you'll be alright by yourself? Maybe we should wait until she comes for you, but I reassure her Louiza's just across the road - and suddenly she's there! I give Reverend Chris a handshake, hug both Pastor Chris and Naomi then climb back into the passenger seat of Louiza's car.
• One more trip before heading home: Warrigal Woolies to buy a carton of milk. I like shopping with the carers since they lemme sit on the self-serve machine while they check out the groceries~
• Oh, the Japanese restaurant we had lunch together today's called Ippindon!
• Back home I 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 yummy banana and one huge mug of delicious earl grey tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey. Happiness was reading the book club novel for one hour, reaching pg. 400 @ 2:51pm.
• Used the loo for one more tinkle then plopped online and read today's Bible passages.
• Was hoping to watch the 6pm news for the 67TH time but biu jie and introduced me to her current crave: some HK singer called Keung To; can you believe it: he's only twenty-seven! I'm more than one DECADE older than him! 
• When dad called dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Dinner tonight: rice,  lotsa yummy wombok, lotsa sweet potato leaves, some bean vermicelli (in Canto:  fun si)  and two thin strips of beef.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl  of soup (thanks also to PIG mum who held out a PJ top for me to put on); after taking the bowl over to  the sink  then sitting to  listen to cousin Teresa regale me  with a story about little Franco 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.
• 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 Friday, else wishing everyone a smashing end to the weekend toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Thursday Post 325b

 Heylo   again, good afternoon and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I get the chance to post online before midday. XD Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2404 steps (meaning I'm positive I'll have cracked 2.5 grand before the night's out XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "Don't Be Like The Mukle"; thirdly, TWFT topic's  'Click The Save Button' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Hollow Willow'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 3rd 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 for another hour, nature calling once more 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 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 immediately struggling into the tee then giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• When I inform PIG mum that I've mostly independently kitted myself, she comes back to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom to 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.
• Last night I helped PIG mum make green tea cake; my current life motto: CAKE for BREAKFAST CAN'T BE WRONG!!! :D 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*
• 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 reading my daily Bible passages I tootle online for myself.
  

• At 11:25am I sit over the loo for two tinkles, coming out after Louiza arrives to take me to meet Reverend Chris and Pastor Grace for our once termly lunch!
• Pastor Grace has chosen some Taiwanese restaurant @ Runcorn Plaza for our catchup! Louiza finds a fairy close park across the road and comes inside with me to sit down, saying she'll just be in her car.
• Obviously I was gonna get fried chicken for lunch! XD I had that with one bowl of white rice, which was three bucks. 
• Over lunch, we just chatted. Turns out Naomi's into Pokemon Go right now!
• After lunch we just headed over to the next-door Gong Cha for bubble tea! I stuck with my current favourite that Angelica taught me: chocolate cookie pearl milk tea normal sugar half ice while the Lungs shared a taro milk tea. More chatting ensued, Grace detailing her future interstate trips for work and Reverend Chris sharing about his parents' trip to China.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 325e

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 2194. Ha, I'm over two grand. XD Righteo, final, final events for today?

• When I was summoned over for lunch I noted down the time then walked myself slowly and safely over to the gobbling :P table, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Lunch was both rice and noodles, washed down with a delicious mug of Chinese tea.
• Afterwards, dearest dad tootled us all the way out to Cleveland! First we shared an ice cream from Cold Rock and then we watched the sunset! I sat down on the floor and dad hauled me back upright afterwards~
• The night ended with us having dinner @ some fancy seafood place!
• Back home I took a nice hot shower - I washed and rinsed my 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 she 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 up/
• After drying the loo seat I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped both feet dry, washed and 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.
• Toms: PIG mum says she'll help me up and take me for walkies before I meet with the Lungs for our once-termly lunch, prolly @ Sai Bistro!
• Louiza will see me home and showered before leaving; PIG mum had better remember to gimme a packet of powdered HK-style milk tea for arvo tea!
• Unsure are we going anywhere with biu jie toms evening but yay that it's ice cream night toms night; like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Anyways, hope everyone's having a smashing week!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Tee hee I've managed FIVE posts tonight; that's not  happened Wednesdays for awhile! XD

Wednesday Post 325c

 Good afternoon and potentially one final greeting for today! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ only 601 (but leaving the house next) but secondly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-SIX MINUTES online after I get home later!! Anyways, let's finish with last night's events first!

• Jacinta might've arrived slightly late but we made good time and got the free parking~
• Zach came last night and even brought me my favourite bubble tea! :D His Walking stick's really cool; not only has it got a sideways handle it's even got flames licking up one side!
• Jack came last night too! Turns out I'm eleven years older than him but he's given up the martial arts for now, phew. XD Now he's working for some rocket-launching company!
• Eight attended last night and the meeting ended thirteen minutes early, but 'twas still great fun~
• After another loo trip, Lorraine tootled me back to Maccas for my UnHappy Meal while she got a crispy chicken wrap meal! Have asked PIG mum may I please get that too next Toastmasters??
• Back home I headed back inside asking where's Teresa biu jie? Suddenly, she was there! Massive hugs for her - I'd not seen her for fourteen years: nearly 1.5 DECADES!
• I quickly noted down my final, final plodding total for Tuesday then headed over to the kitchen to pour my nightly mouthful of milk before hitting the sack but first biu jie had me sit down and she presented me with all these souvenirs from HK!
• Then repeat the usual nightly routine and zzz~
• Today: yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 6:50am 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, Teresa (my newest plushie) and I happily cuddle and snore, me not waking until nearly 9am and relieving myself. 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 help me very 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 first then giving myself fifteen more minutes.
• PIG mum comes back to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly   and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Lol I thought that Milo cereal was my special Sunday breakfast. unsure why PIG mum gave me Milo cereal plus one dry (no honey) Weet-Bix and some Minus?   :P 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*
• 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.

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 reading my daily Bible passages I plopped online briefly for myself. Lol, biu jie didn't appear until just after midday! XD

• When summoned  for lunch, I  noted down the time 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.

• For lunch  we had  fried vermicelli and plain congee! Lunch was washed down with one huge mug  of  delicious Chinese tea~

• When I was summoned over for lunch I noted  down  the time then  walked myself slowly  and safely over to the gobbling :P  table, - bbl!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 325b

 Heylo again, good morning again and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I get to post online before midday. XD Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total from Tuesday's actually 1098 (ha, I'm just over one grand XD); secondly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's 'Heighten Future Joy'; thirdly, today I've been hard @ work plodding only 456 (nice number! XD) steps (since obviously, ('ve not left the house yet); fourthly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Pray For His Fame'; fifthly, TWFT topic's 'Meditate And Assimilate' and sixthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Agents Of A Higher King' but seventhly    and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and FORTY-SIX MINUTES online  after  I get home this arvo!! Anyways, let's start with yesterday arvo's events first!

• After I used up the most important two hours of the day, I sat @ the gobbling :P table and enjoyed the rice dearest dad had saved me for arvo tea then sat over the loo for two tinkles before sitting by the front door and awaiting Jacinta's arrival @ 5:30pm~
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 215

 Good morning! :P

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 214

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding only 991 steps (so must've passed 1000 before Tuesday ends XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'to Your Tears'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Responsibility And The 'Ability To Respond'" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Harvest His Blessings'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:50am 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*
• Afterwards, Daddy    Bear and I cuddle for a MASSIVE snore: I slept through the usual nature   calling @ 7:56am and didn't wake again for the pot :P until nearly 9am! Shortly after the second pot :P trip 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 poor Elf's ankle a very brief rub since she'd totally ignored my   poor foot last night. Doesn't matter, Era rubbed Elf's ankle for fifteen minutes last night and let her wear her sock to sleep last night but obviously peeled the sock off first thing this morning. XD
• Once PIG mum opens the front door for Peggy, she knocks, opens the bedroom door and announces, "Good morning." When Daddy Bear gives a paw flop @ her, she next states, "Fifteen more minutes.". Daddy Bear gives one more paw flop signaling 'yes' then imperiously flaps his paw going 'shoo'! Peggy smirks but wisely closes the door and leaves us be, thus saving her   from the wrath of the Bear Bum.  XD
• After I've counted down from 900, I swing myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle and announce that I'm hungry to Peggy. She comes, we get me kitted and then I   head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who's already squirted some toothpaste for me~
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then head out to the gobbling :P table with Peggy, who tells me that she had her usual two   fried eggs for breakfast this morning.
• Me, breakfast's one/two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P, 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, Peggy slathers sunscreen over my face and both hands before accompanying me back to the bathroom then returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast things up.   Over the loo I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era I climb into the passenger seat of Auto (pronounced Alto) and Peggy tootles me off to Pinelands Plaza, grabbing a trolley for us after parking. Also thanks to Peggy who kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt all day~
• First, we buy groceries from Coles; when I next pop into the Pinelands Bakehouse to grab my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi, Aunty Nancy greets me beaming with a belated Easter present: a small packet of Lindt milk chocolate balls!
• Our other stop's Sunnybank Plaza for the Ben And Jerry's ice cream! 
• But WHOOPS: April the 14th's AMERICA'S Free Cone Day, Brisbane's isn't until May the 5th!! XD
• Instead, Peggy took me to browse Kmart - and I had SO MUCH FUN WINDOWSHOPPING!! :D 
• Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Came home for a nice hot shower - hairwash  today. Also thanks to Peggy who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was my delicious crunchy pork  bahn mi plus one huge mug of yummy earl grey tea; the only pity was that Peggy couldn't find where the sneaky parents had hidden the sweetener! >< XD
• Peggy got PIG mum to   sign her off @ precisely 2pm but mother was her usual yappy self and wouldn't let Peggy escape for another five minutes. XD
• Took plate to sink, used loo for one tinkle, did my daily Bible readings then plopped online.

Monday Post 214b

 Heylo again, good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final2582.  plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2582. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• Breakfast is two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix with all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the 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 back of Cherry and once PIG mum's climbed aboard too, dearest dad tootles me off to see Ray, drooping us off right @ the gate! Pity PIG mum won't do that; she says she's not good enough a driver to. *sigh*
• I use the loo for one tinkle and when I exit the bathroom Ray immediately gifts me with an adorable souvenir: a 101 Dalmatians shoulder clip! <3
• Then I lie down for some acupuncture and massage. PIG mum's in her element, yapping unceasingly @ Ray; my gracious thanks to him for always replying and keeping a conversation flowing.

• Afterwards, dad tootles us  off to     Sunnybank  Hills Shoppingtown for a quick lunch before I see Peter for an AFO fix and OMG are we  running late? Since I get    to use Sparkless3!!
• Dunno   why   the  font size and dot point  size have suddenly changed, but hey. XD
• Dad got us a tuna Subway to  share for lunch;  we just drank his bottle of water.
• Then 'twas back  to  APO for  another boot fix and awesome, Gina made me a cup of  white tea with  two sugars!
• Back home,  Jacinta minded me from 4-6. PIG mum had given me one mug of herbal tea but after she'd headed upstairs Jacinta found the honey  and made me another mug of   vanilla  chai sweetened with one spoonful of honey! :D
• Happily read the  book  club novel for one hour, reaching pg. 300 @ exactly 4:20pm  and reaching pg. 325 @ 4:51pm. Then I had like forty minutes to  happily play match three games while Jacinta massaged Ela very gently for one full hour!
• At 5:55pm I sat over the loo for  two tinkles before signing Jacinta off with my thanks and byes. She's back toms night and taking  me to Toastmasters!All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news (Nine’s, read  by Melissa Downes) for the 66^TH time: Trump, Tomasi, Albanese, Ishaq (first name), Dar,  Probyn, Quigley, Todhunter,  Hammond,  Marles, Albanese, Zambic (heard), D’Alessandro, Fentiman, Crisafulli (heard),  Bavas, Aunban (heard), Putin  (heard), Trump, Liersch, Arbiter, Heagney, Jeffreys, Willison, Carrigan (heard),Bieber, Constance, Yash (first name), Panchal,   Spears,  Rugg, Malcolm, Garcia (heard), Rose,    Hatton, Denley,Reynolds, Jakob (first  name, heard), Funk (heard),  Dobbin, Johnson, McIlroy, unn (heard),Mathers, Bashir, Zorko, Dayne (first name, heard),Dearden,  Drinkwater (heard),  Foran  (heard),Buffy,Tahir, Taha and Kohler.

Brisbane was 16-29. Brisbane toms: 18-28. Mt. Gravatt toms: 16-27. Sunrise: 6:03am Sunset 5:33pm

• Used loo for tinkle, had dinner then sat @ table and waited while dearest dad kindly fixed my AFO again and PIG mum  gleefully forced poor    Elf on  several sets of exercises.
• Returned online and used loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm.
• Toms:  Peggy's minding  me  from 9am and taking me to  Ben And Jerry's Free Cone Day! :D Fingers  crossed I'll not haveta stand for too long ...
• Cousin Teresa's popping over for like   two days and will arrive toms arvo; I've not   seen her since like 2012!!!

Monday Post 214

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2507 steps (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "You Cannot Lose In The End"; thirdly, TWFT topic's "I Have Set The Lord Always Before Me"; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Power Of Grace' and fifthly, Joni's devotional topic's 'No Greater Love' but sixthly and   way most importantly, I'm  really still owed ONE HOUR and SIXTEEN MINUTES online  after I use the loo once more  @ 9pm!! Anyways, events for today?

• Nature called once last night around 12:45pm; following another pot :P trip  after the Sun's rising, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore until 9am before waking for the pot :P again! Shortly afterwards,  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 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.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 214d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2024. Ha, I'm just over two grand. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• 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 my bra strap needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying up.
• After I dried the loo seat I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped both feet dry, washed and dried Era then walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Did my weekly file backup then watched pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 66TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of today's second post.
  
• Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Our once-weekly family dinner out together was @ Ho Lin Wah. Ate nearly (but not quite 1.5 bowls of honey chicken rice and almost (but again not quite) one bowl of thin soupy ho fan, drank half the set soup, one cup of Chinese tea and just over one mouthful of the hot HK-style milk tea.
• Got home, returned online then used loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm.
• Toms: morning appointment to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage, early arvo appointment @ APO to fix my AFO and a mid-arvo appointment @ Breathe for physio! Hence why Jacinta's with me until 6pm~
• Hoping to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 67TH time!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Only nature called again @ 9:35pm. New final, final plodding total for Sunday: 2105.

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 1949 (so will have reached two grand before tonight ends, sweet XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Before Abraham   Was, I AM'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

•  After reading for one hour, I happily played some version of Bejeweled on my mobile until woke from her long arvo and tossed me one banana, one plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea for arvo tea.
• Then I took a nice hot shower - 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 10% but happily leaned fully against the right-side rail before calling PIG mum back.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  
  

Sunday Post 214b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 1227. Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• After I'd used up the most important two hours for   the day, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat @ the hobbling :P table to read for one hour and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea.
• While reading The Collected Regrets Of Clover, I reached pg. 325 @ 4:26 and reached pg. 333 @ exactly 4:35pm. Have I said yet? This book takes me two minutes to read one page.
  Cheers,
  Em.   ^^
  P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's, read by Mia Glover) for the 66TH time: Tomasi, Trump, Croucher, King, Littleproud, Paterson, Van  Lunteren, Gout (first name),  Gout, Templeton (heard),  Shepphard (heard),  Burrows, Lou (first name), Hunt, Bowes, Nolan,  Kenzie,Todhunter, Donald (first name), Serafin, Donaldson, Butler, Koch, Hansen, Balme, Hardwick, Tamika (first   name),  Uptin, BGrigginshaw (heard), Jakob (first  name,  heard), Dunn (heard),  McIlroy, Burns, Young, Funk (heard), Kiss, Aublix (first  name, heard),  Bellamy, Zahos (heard), Kirkland, Harbison, Hartley, Hull, Campbell, Li, Scheffler, Lowry, Rose, Bowman, Wisemn,  Jackson, Jaafar (first name),Frecklington and Youngberry.

Sunday Post 214

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1331 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "The Great King's Wine"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'True Repentance Brings Restoration' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Slow Anger'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, for the first time in three days, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call am and after one pot :P trip I immediately try falling back asleep before PIG mum starts STOMPING around upstairs very soon!
• Instead, fifty-odd breaths in, noisy PIG mum goes a-THUMP, and I realise I'll not fall back asleep 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*

• 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's one dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P, 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?

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 us off to church and parks outside the service hall. I hike up the ramp, use the disabled loo myself for one tinkle, wash and dry Era then grab my usual spot on the most left.
• Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• Stayed seated for worship; sang everything plus the harmony for four songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Ezekiel; his sermon today was Psalm 73: When The Grass Is Greener On The World's Side."
• Used loo for another tinkle, had morning tea behind church then had lunch with dad @ Hungry Jack's (a chicken royale burger, ten chips and a small orange juice) while everyone else from ESS enjoyed Korean food together. *sigh*
• Got home, used loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era, did the daily Bible readings then plopped online for myself.
• Wonder where dad will take us for dinner tonight? Yay that he says I can watch the 6pm news first~
• Toms: provided Ray's back from holidays, PIG mum'll help me up and I'll see him for some acupuncture and massage. Bet she's DYING to yap unceasingly @ him; me, I'm just hoping Ray remembered to bring back a souvenir for me! XD
• Unsure does PIG mum wanna grocery shop before coming home for lunch with dearest dad.
• Jacinta's minding me from 2pm till 6pm toms and taking me to Breathe for physio. Maybe we'll grocery shop afterwards before coming home for a shower?
• May not get the time to read the book club novel for one hour but looking forward to watching the 6pm news!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 214c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2724. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• When nature randomly called @ 8:40pm, I walked myself once 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.
• I continued reading and sharing my Facebook memories then @ 9pm walked myself slowly and safely once more 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: just church, definitely nothing special.  Would love lunch out with other ESS peoples but will only get like a pissy little cheeseburger, around ten chips and an orange juice with   dad @ the Rochedale Hungry Jacks. *sigh* 
• Also expecting a stressful  arvo  @ the hands of   PIG mum. >< *another sigh* But hoping to read for one hour and watch the 6pm news for the 66TH time!
• Righteo, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em.   ^^

Saturday Post 214b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2609 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Essence Of Gratitude.' Righteo,  continuing today's events?

• Back home I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Jane who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was one bowl of rice leftovers (Jane couldn't find the oyster sauce so added some teriyaki sauce instead!)  and two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey. I happily continued reading, reaching pg. 200 @ 12:06pm. Lunch finished, I again asked Jane to please massage Ela again, since she was just tapping @ her smartphone.
• Before leaving I sit over the loo once more for two tinkles but @ church I ask Jane to please take me again to the bathroom for one more tinkle since we arrived heaps early.
• Lol, we arrive early enough that dad gets Jane to play table tennis with me for a while; she's a natural!
• At 1pm I sign her off with my thanks and byes; tonight her partner's taking her to see some cabaret! She's back next Friday~
• Dad and I had great fun playing; he not only lemme win in straight sets; he even lemme win the set he wanted to win to save face! XD But he hit me with the ball ELEVEN times, meaning I came home full of holes.  >< XD
• Coming back home; dad lemme ask Cherry to open the sunroof! The piece under it's the shade, BTW.
• Back home, I used the loo for one more tinkle then sat and read for a good long while, since it's only Saturday then I can spend a blessed three hours reading~ This arvo, I finished pg.  222 @ 2:48pm, reached pg. 225 @ exactly 2:50, finished pg.  250 @ 3:29pm and reached pg. 275 @ 4:04pm.
• Did another stinky unspeakable before plopping online and reading my daily Bible verses.
• Skipped watching the 6pm news in order to have dinner with dearest dad; got PIG mum to bok   him for hitting me lotsa times with the Ping pong ball today! >< She half-heartedly swatted him over the shoulder once. XD
• Drank  soup, took   bowl to  counter then returned online.
• 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 Sunday,   else looking  forward  to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 214

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2512 steps (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "What's Well-Placed Shame?"; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Fight For Your Marriage"; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'A Portrait Of Dependence' and fifthly, Em's final, final plodding total for Friday's 3519 (ha,  I'm just over 3.5 grand XD But the poor Broncos lost to  the Cowboys! ><) but sixthly and way most importantly, I'm   really still owed TWENTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after dinner tonight!!  Anyways, events for today?

• Nature called once around 12:45am; after the first morning pot :P trip around  6:35am 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 nature calls again 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*
• Afterwards, Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me not waking again for the pot :P until awoken by PIG mum's daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor Elf's ankle a very brief rub, since she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night. That's alright; Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes and let her wear her sock to sleep last night but obviously peeled the sock off first thing this morning! XD
• When PIG mum lets Jane inside @ 9:30am, Jane knocks, pushes open the door, calls out "Good morning, Em; fifteen more minutes" then closes the door immediately after Daddy Bear flops his paw once @ her; he's not even got the time to wave his paw 'shoo'! XD
• Once I've counted down 900 seconds, I announce "Jane, I'm hungry!" then swing myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle. Jane immediately comes, we get me kitted and then I head over to  the bathroom   and brush teeth. After drinking one full 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!
• 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.
• Me, I get my once-weekly fried egg on dry (unbuttered) toast, another full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and one delicious mug of earl grey tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey. Over and after breakfast, I happily read the book club novel for thirty minutes. Jane tidies my   bedroom then sits @ the gobbling :P table to play with her mobile, hence why I ask her please massage Ela, which she does after putting the dishes into the sink.
• After reading for thirty minutes, I ask Jane to please gimme some sunscreen before I use the loo for one more tinkle while she shuts and locks windows.
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Sarah. Jane's planning to get rid of her @ the end of this year! 
• Jane tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace and parks underground before getting a trolley.
• First  we buy a jug  of   lite milk  from   Woolies and then I just lean against  the benchtop while Jane   gets me  a honey chicken   sushi roll  from  Sushi  Creators.
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Friday Post 214

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3193 steps (ha, I'm over three grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Talk To God, Not Just About Him'; thirdly, TWFT topic's  "How To 'Renew' Your Mind" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Safe In God's Hands". Anyways, events for today?

• Grr, nature spoiled my five-night awesome sleep streak when she called @ 12:45am! >< Never mind, 'twas still a sound sleep nevertheless; I was prolly  just too   excited after attending book club~ *sigh*
• After another pot :P  trip falling  the Sun's rising,  I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• 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 give poor Elf's ankle 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 last night although obviously tugged the sock off first thing this morning! XD
• When the home phone starts ringing, I yell "Phone!"  and mother hurries into my room and answers it, saying "Oh, it's prolly the NAB ringing to cancel your appointment."
• She's correct: physio has been cancelled since the student's ill! Usually, I must endure sessions of blasted physio weekly from the very first week of the year until the week of Christmas before I get two weeks of annual leave but since Monday past was Easter Monday and I didn't haveta have Breathe physio, it should mean I've not had to endure any physio this week! :D
• Once PIG mum lets Jane inside, Jane knocks, opens the door and says, "Good morning, Em, fifteen more minutes."  Daddy Bear nods his head @ her and Jane immediately closes the door and leaves, not giving him the chance to imperiously wave his paw 'shoo' @ her!" XD
• When she comes back and taps me up, I use the pot :P for three more tinkles and happily tell her that since NAB physio got cancelled, mother has decided that we can hike Underwood Lake today!
• We get me kitted; I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth then sit over the loo for one tinkle. After sitting over the loo for one tinkle, I wash and dry Era before heading out to the gobbling :P table with Jane, who tells me that she had her usual breakfast smoothie for her morning meal today.
• Since NAB physio was cancelled, I'd thought PIG mum would immediately reduce my dry (no honey) Weet-Bix from three to two and neither gimme a slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt, but she didn't, score!  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*
• After finishing breakfast, I call Jane back and ask her to please gimme some sunscreen (face and both arms/hands). That done, she accompanies me back to the loo before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast dishes up. Over the loo I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of Sarah and Jane tootles me off to Underwood Park for another hike; the first was three days ago (Tuesday!) Thanks to her who kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt all day~
• We get the disabled park; Jane takes a photo for me @ the map board and then we hike around the lake! I take a lie-down on one of the sunlounges and cheerfully greet whoever walks past. There's one couple with a beautiful long-haired German Shepherd who comes over and even lets me hold her leash for a while, saying her name's Celeste!
• After the 400m hike, our other stop's Underwood MarketPlace to buy a 2L carton of milk from   Woolies. Jane parks out the front and grabs a trolley for us. Why I like grocery shopping with the carers more than with the parents:  they lemme sit on the self-serve checkout machine. XD
  Cheers,
