  • Dinner tonight:  rice, lotsa dearest dad's home-grown hairy melon, lotsa lettuce/some other vegetable I've since forgotten and like one strip of BBQ chicken. Maybe 'twas leftover tomato fried rice?
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

Thursday Post 328

 Good afternoon!  Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1915 steps (so promise I'll have cracked 2000 steps before Thursday ends XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "The Day's @ Hand"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Paid In Full' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Follow God's Way". Anyways, events for today?

  • Oh, nearly forgot! Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday's actually 2166 and Jane took me to play table tennis only traffic was awful and it took TWO HOURS to get home but she was a champion who saw me home and showered and even cleaned the bathroom before leaving! Angie took me to GG and Kwany led Bible study from some new series called Confident Faith: Apologetics For Everyone.
  • Today: yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7am 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, 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 before returning outside and awaiting Louiza's arrival, only to return @ exactly 9:45am and say "She's late. Fifteen more minutes." I immediately comply and start counting down from 900 but tell PIG mum when Louiza arrives, just tell her to help me up @ 9:45am when she comes. I'm correct: like thirty seconds later, Louiza rings the doorbell! XD
  • When Louiza taps me up @ 9:45am, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. After sitting over the loo then washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Louiza, rousing @ her for not eating any breakfast this morning. XD
  • Me, for breakfast I get one dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P  and 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 ask Louiza please for some sunscreen then she accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast dishes up. Over the loo, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 
  • After washing and drying   Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Louiza's car (can you believe it: she's only twenty-one!) and she tootles us off to Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown,  doing  a clever side park along level two and grabbing a trolley for us.
  • After one loo trip I thought we'd buy groceries together, but Louiza says no, you can read in the library while I buy the groceries your mum wants! I grab Orson Scott Card's Children Of The  Fleet, happily read that for fifty minutes, found the title on pg. twenty-three, reached page twenty-five @ 11:46am, found the book title again on page twenty-five and stopped @ page thirty-one.
  • After one more loo   trip, Louiza tootled me home and 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. Yay   that I could take a normal-speed shower since yesterday I had to shower most quick after Jane and I were stuck in traffic coming home!
  • Less than thirty minutes left, so just super-briefly:
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was a tuna in tomato and onion toastie with one slice of cheese and one delicious mug of powdered HK-style milk tea.
  • Signed Louiza off with my thanks and byes @ 1:30pm, although PIG mum kept yapping @ her for another two minutes before letting her leave. XD She's back next Thursday 8am and taking me to GCCW, which reminds me: I've gotta start composing homework!
  • Took cup to sink, used loo for one tinkle then plopped online.
  • Once I've used up the most important two hours of the day online, I'll use the loo for one tinkle, sit and read for one hour and ask PIG mum for some arvo tea.
  • Looking forward to watching the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 78TH time; couldn't last night since Jane and I were stuck in traffic until like 5:50pm before getting home! 
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl,  else wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 328c

 Good afternoon! Take two: Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total from Tuesday actually stands @ 2797; secondly, Joni's devotional topic from last night's 'Why God Allows Suffering; thirdly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1547 steps  (ha,  I'm just over  1.5 grand XD); fourthly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Great Exchange'; fifthly, TWFT topic's 'Rely On  God, Not Yourself' and sixthly,  Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Prayer In  Disguise' but seventhly and way most importantly, I'm   really  still owed ONE HOUR and SEVEN MINUTES online after I get home and watch  the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for  the 78TH time!! Anyways, let's start with yesterday's events first!

  • After I'd used up the most important two  hours of my day online,  I used the loo  for  one tinkle then sat @ the gobbling :P table to read the Shannara novel and munch arvo tea, but oops I forgot to ask PIG mum to  gimme some rice until   5:15pm, @ which point she refused since apparently frozen rice needs defrosting before serving? But she says she'll gimme a mouthful after I get home from Toastmasters tonight~
  • At 5:25pm I sit over the loo once more for two tinkles and then @ 5:30pm Jacinta tootles me off to Toastmasters!
  • Another paltry turnout: only six tonight. But Denise gives an educational give an impromptu and there's a new guest from Taiwan!
  • Back to Maccas for an UnHappy Meal with an orange juice while Jacinta had a medium McChicken meal with a frozen Coke. Only we were both so happy chatting and didn't realise the time and got home nearly ten minutes late! XD But I signed Jacinta off with my thanks and byes; she's back Saturday~
  • Repeat the usual nightly events and zzz~
  • Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 8:am 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*
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 Good morning! :P

Cheers,

Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 327

 Good afternoon! Firstly, I'm unsure how many steps I've been hard @ work plodding since idiot Wally's only given me 347 steps but I've done heaps more since Peggy took me to watch a movie today before we went to buy a bahn mi from Aunty Nancy @ the Pinelands Bakery; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Children Of A Singing  God (seems familiar?); thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Overcoming Envy' and fourthly, Our Daily  Bread's devotional topic's "In God's Line Of Sight". 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* Actually, even earlier this morning, the termite guys arrived to deal with the termites! I woke when they rang the doorbell but since my bedroom door was closed and they didn't bother disturbing me, I just checked that my bladder was fine for more sleeping then returned to happy snorings with Daddy Bear.
  • Nature called 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 before going back outside and awaiting Peggy's arrival @ 9:30am.
  • After PIG mum lets Peggy in, Peggy knocks, pushes the door and announces good morning. When Daddy bear acknowledges her with a paw flop, she next states fifteen more minutes. Daddy Bear gives another paw nod before flicking his paw imperiously @ her shoo!  Peggy smirks with amusement but wisely closes the door and leaves us be, saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum.  XD
  • Once I'm counted down 900 seconds, I swing myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle and announce "Peggy, I'm hungry." She's just next door, inside the bathroom and enters immediately, saying good morning again.
  • We get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth (thanks to Peggy who's already squirted me some toothpaste) and sit over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I 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, I get like one dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P and 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 Peggy covers my face and both hands with sunscreen and accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing the breakfast dishes up. Over the loo, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
  • After washing and drying Era I climb into the passenger seat of pronounced Alto and Peggy tootles me off to Sunnybank Plaza to watch the Super Mario movie!
  • Peggy parks underground and after catching the escalator up, we hike up the ramp to buy our tickets. I'm disappointed that Peggy refuses to buy popcorn after claiming the free ticket but after using the loo once and finding our spots (the only time I allow myself to lean fully to the right before sitting's when I'm @ the cinemas) Peggy offers wafers and obviously I reply yes please! While she's away buying I quickly post on Facebook before happily watching all the previews; OMG, there's gonna be this MINIONS and Monsters Inc crossover!!! 
  • Adorable movie!!! <3 I particularly loved the little multi-coloured fireballs; anyone know what they're called?
  • Whoops outta time, so super-briefly:
  • Got home, showered and had lunch.  
  • Signed Peggy off with my thanks and byes @ 2pm. She's back same time next week.
  • Used loo for one tinkle, did my daily Bible readings then plopped online.
  • Jacinta's taking me to Toastmasters tonight! Hence must remind PIG mum I'm needing some rice for arvo tea since I'm only getting an UnHappy Meal with an orange juice tonight.
  • Toms: hope PIG mum helps me up  not too late and takes me walkies somewhere before we come home for lunch with dearest dad.
  • Juane's ttaking  me to play  table tennis @ like  2/2:30pm; let  there be  cake! XD
  • Can hopefully  watch the 6pm  news for the 78TH time and will remind PIG mum to please gimme dinner after Jane leaves @ 6:30pm since Angie's picking me up for GG @ 7:10pm!
  • Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing  day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2712 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Keep In Step  With The Spirit'. Anyways, continuing today's events?

  • After sitting over the loo for one tinkle, I walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Breakfast's one/two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix mixed with a tiny bit of Minus :P and 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.

See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
  • After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of Chery and dearest dad drops PIG mum and I off @ Ray's place! Yay that dad parks right outside the gate~
  • At Ray's I use the loo for one tinkle then lie down for some massage and acupuncture. PIG mum's in her element yapping unceasingly @ Ray; my grateful thanks to Ray for always keeping a conversation flowing. Actually, PIG mum deserves commendation too: today she only repeated one syllable five times! XD
  • After one more loo trip, dad tootled us home and I started reading my daily Bible passages before being summoned to lunch, which was a ham and egg toastie with lotsa lettuce. Pity PIG mum wouldn't add a slice of cheese for me, but the Chinese tea I washed lunch down with was delicious.
  • Whoops just over fifteen minutes left, so super-briefly:
  • Jacinta took me to Breathe for physio: 1.686km bike ride, forty bar-assisted push-ups, forty steps for Erf with left weight shift. Forty steps for Elf, forty leg extensions for Elf, forty leg curls for Elf, forty v-bar cable rows, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing!

Monday Post 327

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding only 832 steps (but promise I'll have cracked 1000 before Monday ends since I'm enduring physio next and going grocery shopping   afterwards); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'You Were Made For God'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Learn To Listen To God and fourthly,  Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Yielded And Still' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm   really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-ONE MINUTES online after Jacinta takes me to  Breathe for  physio   and  I  watch the 6pm  news (Nine's)  for  the 77TH  time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Nature  called once around 12:45am; following the first  sunlight 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 until nearly 9am before waking for another pot :P trip. Shortly after 9am, PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs and soon, she's let herself to 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 and let her wear her sock to sleep but obviously tugged the sock off first thing this morning! XD
  • PIG mum helped exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and lying 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.
  • I call PIG mum please to come back and finish with Elf's AFO straps and both shoelaces since it's already 9:45am and I don't wanna be back in bed already for another night's sleep before twelve hours have passed else I'll feel I've have wasted the whole day! Still, she takes her time about it; it's like 9:50am by the time I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush teeth. *sigh*
    Cheers,
    Em.   ^^

  • Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
  • Took    a nice hot shower - I   washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud.

Sunday Post 327

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1522 steps (ha, I'm just over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "Paul's Salvation Was For You"; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Stay True To The Truth Of God's Word" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Restoration Efforts'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Nature called once around 12:45am; after another pot :P trip around 6:10am, I immediately fell back asleep since I knew PIG mum would get very noisy one hour later!
  • Instead, I fell back that deeply asleep I didn't wake again until PIG mum let herself into my room and hit me with the eye goo! After she helped me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and laying out the tee (that I immediately struggled into) she left me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply   with after giving myself fifteen more minutes and using the pot :P once more first. Whilst doing so, 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 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 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 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 us off to church and parks outside our service hall. I hike up the ramp, use the second cubicle of the normal female loo (since both the disabled and first cubicle of the normal ladies loo have closed lids, but horrid PIG mum won't lift them for me), wash and dry both hands then grab my usual spot for service @ the most left.
  • 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 might've been  Tyvis/Tyvus; his sermon topic was: This I Believe: The Apostles Creed. That's the new sermon series; afterwards, I stood with everyone else and recited the creed once.
  • Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
  • Uncle Simon wandered over for a chat during morning tea! He's got two sons (in their twenties and two grandsons) and will play table tennis with Uncle Sam @ church this arvo~
  • Everyone else shared lunch @ some hotpot place but dad made me eat with him @ the Rochedale Hungry Jack's again. *sigh* Turns out Hungry Jack's does a BBQ cheeseburger, and I got just over ten chips today, woot!
  • Got home, used loo for one tinkle, did my daily Bible readings then plopped online.
  • Toms: PIG mum'll help me up, since I'm seeing Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Bet she's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD
  • Coming home for lunch with dearest dad then presuming Jacinta's taking me to Breathe for physio?
  • She'll see me home and showered before leaving @ 6pm; hoping to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 77TH time provided that I can watch it for the 76TH time tonight!
  • 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 (Nine's, read by Mia Glover) for the 76TH time: Butler, Trump, Pirro, Biden, Cole (first name, heard), Allan (heard), Croucher, Hanson, Canavan, Littleproud, Greer, Abbas (first name), Araghchi, Netanyahu (heard), Mimi (first name), Hughes (heard), Woolf,Becker, Volodomyr (first name, heard), Zelensky (heard), Maduro (heard), Neale,Chantay,D'Alessandro, Gerber, Crisafulli, Scanlon, Miles, Nicholls (heard), Balme (heard), Zahos,Turinui, McReight,Kiss,Roberts-Smith, Jamal (first name), Fogarty,Dufficy (heard), Cleary, Keziah (first name0Sullivan,Peterson,Pittar,Tedesco,Averillo (heard), Daley (heard),Marley, Meddick, Borrell, Perrett, Lawrence, Festa, Springsteen (heard), Lennon (heard), Helene (first name), Lambetsos, Kane, Kennedy and Bellamy (heard).

Saturday Post 327c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 1854. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post, I had about eight minutes to play match three games on my mobile, which hasn't gone dark today!
  •  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. Only idiot Elf started hurting really badly?? o_O Hence why PIG mum's doing sth  to her now, after I let her gleefully force poor    Elf on two sets of exercises.
  • Toms: just church, definitely nothing special.  Would love lunch out with other ESS people but that's not gonna happen. *sigh*
  • Anyways, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 327b

 Heylo again and good   evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for   Saturday now stands @ 1741 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Sing Through Your Pain'. Righteo,  continuing today's events?

  •  After PIG mun lets Jane inside @ 9:30am, Jane knocks, opens the door and says, "Good morning, Em; fifteen more minutes." Daddy Bear just gives a paw nod and just like that Jane's shut the door and left - not giving him the time to wave his paw 'shoo!' @ her.  XD
  • Once I'm counted down 900 more seconds, I swing myself over to the pot :P and announce "Jane, I'm hungry."   She's immediately inside; turns out she was already in the bathroom.   XD
  • I use the loo for one more tinkle, we get me kitted, I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth, drink one full cup of water then sit over the loo proper. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
  • After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Jane, who told me that she had two poached eggs on toast for breakfast this morning.
  • Me, I only get one fried egg on toast, plus my first big mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey, all my usual drugs :P    and another full mug of water. Over and after breakfast I happily read for thirty minutes first up.
  • While I use the loo   for one more tinkle, wash and dry Era, Jane shuts and locks windows. After climbing into the passenger seat of Sarah (SAZ's the  rego plate for Jane's car, Jane tootles us off to Pinelands Plaza, since PIG mum's said I can buy rice paper rolls from the Pinelands Bakery!
  • Since Jane parks outside the shades, she demands I walk with sticky into the shade before letting me use a trolley with   her.
  • I buy the rice paper rolls from Aunty Nancy and then Jane tootles me home for 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 (thanks to Jane who added some oyster sauce for me) and two more big mugs sweetened with one spoonful of honey.
  • Whoops less than ten minutes left, so  super-briefly:
  • Played table tennis @ church with   dad~
  • Came home and read all  arvo; it's only   Saturdays that I can spend  a blessed three hours reading~
  • Watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for   the SEVENTY-FIFTH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of the previous post.
  • Summoned to dinner @ 7:06pm.
  • Drank soup, took bowl to sink then returned online.
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl   after one last tinkle @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening Sunday, else forward to  to  seeing everyone @ church toms! 
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 327

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1648 steps (ha, I'm over 1.5 grand XD);   secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Liberating Power of Forgiveness'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'The Challenges And Rewards Of Leadership'   and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Serving Like  Christ' but  fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and FOURTEEN MINUTES online  after I watch  the  6pm  news bulletin (Nine's)  for the SEVENTY-FIFTH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Oh, wait: my final, final plodding total from last night was 2185 (ha, I'm over two grand XD) and Joni's devotional topic from last night's 'Stop Worrying And Pray'. The Broncos won pretty big last night; I'm gonna read match report after match report and bask in their glory. XD
  • Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature  didn't call until 7am  and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore. The next time nature calls, after another pot :P tripI spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • PIG mum's daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs around 9am wakes me for one more pot :P trip. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give Elf's ankle a very brief rub, since she totally ignored my poor foot last night. That's okay; Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes last night and let her wear her sock to sleep but obviously peeled it off first thing this morning! XD
    Cheers,
    Em.   ^^
    P.S.  All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's, read by Mia Glover) for the 75TH time: Makenna (first name), Baily, Delaforce, Skoda, Nichols, McLeod, Kennedy, Millwared, Chut (heard), Bavas, Vincent, Jackson, Lee, Marles, Mostyn (heard), Ha-teya (first name), Gripske, Daikoda (first name), Henry, Greer, Trump (heard), Baqaei,  Hegseth, Amalee (first name),  Saunders, Ibrahim, Duniam, Burke (heard), Sinclair, Smart, Coyle, Netanyahu, Van Lunteren, Pittar,m Lebron (first name), Alcaraz Tunstill, McCarthy, Hardwick, Ugle-Hagan Kalyn (first name), Ponga Taulagi, Korda, Dinkwater, Shannon, Arscott, Dekuyer, Francis (heard), Gill, Castley and Loudon.

Friday Post 327

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1570 steps (phew, I'm just over 1.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "Seek Your City's Good"; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Experiencing God's Peace" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Rivers To Cross'.  Anyways, events for today?

  • What better way to finish the working week than with an awesome sleep last night? Nature didn't  call until the noisy garbage truck woke me THUNDERING down the road to  tip our bins and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P when noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and 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.

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* Also grumpy that the parents wouldn't turn Sunrise on for my viewing pleasure; I'd hoped they would since I'm so rarely awake this early! *sigh again*
  • Breakfast finished, 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 seat of the Chery and buckle my own seatbelt. Both parents climb in too then dad tootles me off to the P.A for my follow-up!

  • Dad dropped PIG mum and I off near the entrance; wow the hospital must've had upgrades/renovations done since it's looking really fancy! PIG mum directed me to walk all the way into some new building (we caught one lift), I checked in and then we took a seat. PIG mum immediately whacked a mask on me since there was another unmasked patient there waiting and coughing.
  • Lol, everyone must've been given the same appointment  time (10:30am) since thirty minutes later, we were still sitting here! XD
  • Only fifteen minutes left, so  super-briefly:
  • Some Indian?  doctor called my name; after we'd followed her into  her room  we sat down and she  apologised that her computer wasn't working today.
  • But phew  no tumour regrowth and no cyst either! She managed to dig up some brain photo for me to look @ and pretend I understood what I was seeing; not  only that, she brought Dr. Olson to say hi! We hugged and Dr. Olson  says she  even remembered  running up  some stairs to check sth for me!
  • Best  of all, my next MRI's not for another FIVE YEARS! Lol I said that was prolly  coz the hospital  was outta money. XD Dr. Olson said but  come back should your  coondition deteriorate suddenly and she's retiring in  the next five years/so!
  • Best of all when leaving PIG mum  spotted the donation duck that used to sit somewhere just inside the  msin hospital! I asked permission for a photo then dropped a gold coin into him.
  • Back home, lunch was half a bacon and egg McMuffin,  a slice of hash brown (they were from Maccas) one slice of watermelon and two slices of pawpaw. Lunch was washed down with one delicious mug of Taiwanese tea and then I returned online after one tinkle, using the loo again  when nature randomly called @ 2pm.
  • Christina's coming to give Ela one hour of unfunctional  exercises @ 2:45pm then Jane's minding me 4-6pm; hoping to read the  Feist novel for another hour!
  • Looking forward to  watching the 6pm news (Nine's)  for the 74TH time, will wolf down dinner afterwards then be seated on the couch to  watch Brisbane play Canterbury!
  • Toms: ANZAC Day but phew Jane's minding me 9:30am till 1pm! Think we're just buying sth  from the Pinelands Bakehouse then coming home for a shower and lunch before dad drops me off @ church  to play table tennis with  dearest dad~
  • Hopping to read for three hours; willing to skip watching the 6pm news bulletin for the SEVENTY-FIFTH time for that! 
  • Anyways, maybe bbl but if not, hope everyone has a lovely weekend ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

  • Listened to the Tigers play the Eels while happily playing Crazy Manor Match - I reached level ONE HUNDRED! :D XD
  • 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.
  • Pity PIG mum has already taken away my mobile; I'd hoped to play Crazier Manor Match after publishing this post! XD
  • Tonight's ice cream night; yay, like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all! XD
  • Toms: woot I get outta two hours' physio since I'm going for my MRI follow-up! Dearest dad has said he'll drive PIG mum and I there; unsure why the follow-up place has changed?
  • Wonder can we eat lunch out before returning home? Nah, fanciful dreaming~ XD *sigh*
  • Mostly I'm just grumpy that I'm not cooking toms but doing unfunctional exercises for Ela; Liam already came last week! >< *sigh*
  • But will skip reading for one hour and use my most important two hours of the day; after watching the 6pm news for the 74TH time I'm gonna wolf down dinner then be seated on the couch @ 7:30pm to watch coverage of the Broncos game against the Bulldogs! Meaning I'm happy whoever wins since while the Broncos are my home team, I've rooted for the Bulldogs ever since I started attending Canterbury College MORE THAN a-quarter CENTURY ago! XD
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing end to the week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

  • Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa dearest dad's home-grown hairy melon, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup onion, two small chunks of salmon and one little chunk of tasty meat brisket, which I obviously saved for last.

  • 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 to read for one hour, calling upstairs to PIG mum please gimme some arvo  tea. She came downstairs and fed me this tiny sugar banana; I also munched one plain cracker and drank one huge mug of green tea.
  • Happily read the newest Feist novel for one hour but reported some ankle pain so PIG mum gleefully forced poor Elf on some foot exercises.
  •  At 5:40pm I used the loo for one more tinkle. New plodding total for Thursday: 1494. See? Not over 1.5 grand yet since I've not eaten dinner yet! XD
  • Toms: my follow-up appointment's @ like 10:30am; presuming we're going grocery shopping before coming home for lunch with dearest dad. Actually, mother says unsure since dad's driving us!
  • Christina's coming to give Ela one hour of unfunctional exercises toms morning; I thought I'd be cooking toms since I already did exercises with Liam last Friday, but mother says no, since Liam's only coming once every two months, so it's exercises again? Feels like I'm getting the short end of the stick again ... *sigh*
  • Will haveta skip reading for one hour and spend my most important two hours of the day online before watching the 6pm news for the 74TH time and wolfing down dinner, since come 7:30pm I'm planning to be seated on the sofa and watching the Broncos play!

Thursday Post 327

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1295 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's "Seek Your City's Good"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Healing For Anxiety' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Staying In Step' but  fifthly last night  I was really still owed TWENTY-FOUR MINUTES online after PIG mum gleefully booted me off to bed; what a dreadful way to end an   awesome night where I enjoyed a KBBQ with all the other EM folks!! >< *sigh* Anyways, events for today?

  • Aww, I'd been hoping for another consecutive awesome sleep considering I'd hit the sack later than usual; but nature randomly   called around 2:45am!! >< Never mind, I was prolly just too excited from the KBBQ last night. *sigh*
  • Following the first morning 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 once more for the pot :P around 7:45am when PIG mum begins her    daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Shortly, 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 and let her wear her sock to sleep last night, although obviously peeled the sock off first thing this morning! XD
  • When Louiza doesn't arrive EXACTLY @ 8am PIG mum gives me fifteen more minutes, but Louiza arrives like ninety seconds later! XD After the fifteen more minutes and using the pot :P for one more tinkle, when Louiza's getting me kitted, she says she's found some new place to rent near Ipswich!
  • ad over to the bathroom and brush teeth before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, when I'm heading out to the gobbling :P table with Louiza, she tells me that she had two fried eggs, toast and bacon for breakfast.
  • Me, I get none of that for breakfast; just one dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P for me. Oh, I also pop all my usual drugs :P and drink one full mug of water. Thanks to Louiza who turned Sunrise on for my viewing pleasure; she also made me one big mug of Earl grey tea with milk once PIG mum left to go visit her friend although sadly, she couldn't find where the sneaky parents had hidden the sweetener. 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 ask Louiza to please   gimme (face and both hands) some sunscreen then she accompanies me back to thew bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing up the breakfast dishes. Over the loo, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
  • After washing and drying Era, I climbed into the passenger seat of Louiza's car and she tootles me off to the library for GCCW! Thanks to her who helped me buckle my seatbelt both ways~
  • At the library I  use the loo for one tinkle then discover today our meeting's in Meeting Room Two today. 
  • Nine attended; thanks to Tammy who went with me to the bathroom during the break and Mary got us mini hot dogs for morning tea!
  • Meeting ended nine minutes early today, there's a three-week break before our next meeting (since April has five Thursdays) and Tammy gave me the leftover ANZAC bikkies to take home! Louiza and I both munched one in her car, I wolfed down three more while she refueled her car @ some petrol station and the parents and I call all   have one each for arvo tea~
  • After one more loo trip Louiza tootled me home and 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, lunch was one bowl of rice leftovers (thanks to Louiza who added a little oyster sauce for me and made it tasty) plus one huge mug of powdered HK-style milk tea.
  • At 1:25pm I sat over the loo for two tinkles while PIG mum signed Louiza off and shooed her away. She's back same time next week; hopefully not late! XD
  • Me, once I've used up the most important two hours of the day, I'll use the loo   for one tinkle then sit and read the Feist novel for one hour while waiting for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea.
  • Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 73RD time.
  • Tonight's ice cream night, yay! Like I say every single week, a very little's better than none @ all~
  • Toms:  since I've got the MRI follow-up happening   @ the P.A, I get to skip two hours of physio, woot!
  •  Wonder can I get lunch from the hospital cafeteria then buy groceries for my arvo cooking session with Ari/whoever?
  • Will prolly haveta skip the reading for my most important two hours of the day online, the 6pm news, dinner then watching the Broncos from 7:30pm!
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Wednesday Post 327c

 Good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 2565 (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'He Is Able' but thirdly and way most importantly, should PIG mum gleefully boot me off to bed @ 9:45pm, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and SEVEN MINUTES online!!! >< *sigh* But just noting down that Jane took me  to play table tennis this arvo (our next tournament @ Redlands falls on my Freedom Day!) and tonight, David and Dr. Esther gave me a lift to BCAC for our EM KBBQ! Thirty-odd people attended and YUM! Toms Louiza's taking me to GCCW and I think that's it, but yay for ice cream toms night; like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all!

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,

 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. ^^

 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. ^^

 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!

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!

  • 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,
    Em.  ^^
